Chapter 54: God of War

Those black iron bumps emitting green smoke suddenly exploded into a dazzling fire, shrapnel shot four pieces, and the surrounding Changsheng soldiers fell down with a scream, the first of them were blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, killed on the spot, most of them were only wounded, covered in blood, lying on the dirty mud and rolling and howling.

As the officers and soldiers in the camp threw more and more grenades, the explosions rang out, and everywhere there were fierce fires and choking smoke, and everywhere there were terrible screams and cries of pain and despair for help, which frightened the soldiers of the Changsheng Army advancing behind them into a pale, threw away the thick planks or wooden carts in their hands, and fled back desperately, and the first wave of attack collapsed.

Sun Chuanting observed the battlefield through the monoculars, and saw the power of the grenade explosion, he couldn't help grinning, and stroked his long beard under his chin, the emperor is wise and martial, if it weren't for him to teach how to concentrate on the use of grenades, he might not be able to retreat the advance and attack of the victorious army, it is really a big killer in close combat, good Dongdong, next time I must bring more, blow up these bastards, hehe.

In fact, the lethality of the Ming version of the grenade cannot be compared with the modern grenade at all, but when used intensively, the earth-shattering explosion is very scary, and the shrapnel fired everywhere constitutes a steel hell, and the soldiers of the Changsheng Army don't know what it is, and they stand and watch stupidly, which causes such a huge lethality.

When the officers and soldiers defending according to the camp fence saw the Chang Sheng's army fleeing, they all let out a loud cheer and followed Master Sun to fight.

Wang Jiayin, who personally supervised the battle, frowned, the officers and soldiers played this hand so beautiful that he did not expect, the casualties of his officers and soldiers were not small, and the morale suffered a certain blow, but if he was unwilling to retreat, he gathered the rout, prepared to launch a second round of attack, and at the same time set up the captured three Franc machine guns to bombard the camp of the official army.

The artillery of the Changsheng army is some officers and soldiers who surrendered and surrendered, there is no problem in firing the Franc machine gun, but the rate of fire is slow to death, and the accuracy is difficult to say, and it is a solid iron bullet, some of the iron bullets do not know where to fly, some of them flew into the barracks, and smashed to death some unlucky officers and soldiers, some smashed the camp fence, and there was an iron bullet luck bull pen, which hit the flagpole in the camp squarely, the flagpole snapped and broke, and the fluttering battle flag fell with a bang, causing the Changsheng army to burst into bursts of cheers.

The artillery bombardment of the Chang Sheng Army did not cause any damage to the officers, at most it only played a role in deterring and boosting the morale of the already parties, but for Wang Jiayin and other generals of the People's Army, this was enough, and under his orders, the Chang Sheng Army launched a second round of attacks.

There were only 1,000 victorious troops in Shenmu County, Sun Chuanting didn't pay attention to it at all, he put the only five Buddha cannons in the whole army in the back camp to deal with Wang Jiayin's main force.

"Aim at the artillery of the rebel army and concentrate all the firepower." Sun Chuanting pointed to the artillery position of the Changsheng Army in front of him and shouted loudly, he remembered that there was a tutorial on artillery suppression in the "Artillery Manual", and urgently ordered the artillery to bombard the artillery position of the Changsheng Army.

The "Artillery Manual" written by Zhu Jian was distributed to the generals and officers of the garrisons in various places as early as possible, but not many of them cared about it and threw it aside, and some of them directly regarded it as a piece of paper.

Before Sun Chengzong went to work, he had Zhu Jian's advice, which he kept in his heart and told Sun Chuanting, who looked at it very seriously, not only ordered his artillery to study seriously, but also went to study for a few days, but the study time was too short.

What interests him the most and his mood is the opening sentence of the "Artillery Manual", artillery, the god of war, is one of the indispensable protagonists of the era of hot weapons, and there are many brand-new, surprising, breathtaking technical theories, repeatedly familiarized, remembered Sun Chuanting only then knew that artillery has a variety of ways to play in war, and only then did he understand the importance of artillery, which is definitely a very complex technical work.

The three Franc cannons of the Changsheng Army did not cause any substantial damage to the officers and soldiers, but they were a bit annoying anyway, and it was the morale of the Changsheng Army.

Regardless of whether it was the same reason or not, Sun Chuanting made up his mind to bombard the artillery position of the Changsheng Army, he held a monocular to observe the landing point of the shells, corrected the direction and distance for the gunners, and passed it all the way from a platoon of heralds to the officer in charge of commanding the artillery, and then the officer commanded the gunner to correct the azimuth coordinates.

"Deviate, a little to the left, raise the muzzle elevation angle a little, open the cannon."

Five Franc cannons opened fire one after another, failing to hit the artillery position of the victorious army, but three of them landed in the group of charging soldiers, causing people to roll over on their backs and flesh and blood flying.

"A little further to the left, a little more at the muzzle elevation angle."

Sun Chuanting continued to correct the azimuth distance for the gunner, with a monocular in his hand, he could see very clearly, this thing is also an artifact of the battlefield, wouldn't it be more appropriate and louder to call it a clairvoyant? However, he admired the emperor even more in his heart, these things were all made up by the emperor and tailored for war.

Artillery is a technical branch, and you can't be a gunner if you can fire a gun, and Sun Chuanting is not a qualified artillery observer, he corrected it five times, but he still didn't hit the artillery position of the Changsheng Army, which made him so angry that he scolded his mother.

The three Francophone cannons of the Changsheng Army were still bombarding, and they didn't care at all about the impact points that the officers and troops were getting closer and closer, or didn't feel the danger.

At this time, the soldiers of the victorious army who came like a tide had already killed, but they were blown up on their backs by the dense grenades, and the dead and wounded were in disarray, and the remaining soldiers trembled and retreated in panic. There are also a very small number of people who are not afraid of death, fortunately very good to rush through the death blockade composed of countless shrapnel, and jump into the trench in front of the camp, but the luck is also over here, a few grenades emitting green smoke fell with it, boomed a few times, and died no longer to die.

After the sixth round of correction, the five Franc machine guns of the official army finally hit the artillery position of the Changsheng Army, blowing up the artillery to the flesh and blood, and the three Franc machine guns were staggered, one of the flowering shells bombarded the powder kegs that were piled up indiscriminately, causing a martyrdom, and the violent explosion blew up the artillery of the Changsheng Army into the sky, and some soldiers who were close to it were also finished, and the three Franc cannons were also blown up and could no longer be used.

Wang Jiayin and other generals of the People's Army were so frightened that their faces were pale and bloodless, fortunately they stood far away, otherwise they would all be blown into minced meat, and the Franc machine guns were all destroyed, how could this battle be fought?

Sun Chuanting saw clearly through the monoculars, and danced happily, the Franc machine guns that the victorious army relied on to boost morale were all blown up, how do you fight this battle? Hey.

"Haha, it's hit, the artillery battalion has made a great contribution!"
