Chapter 271: Ten Thousand Cannons Roar
Take advantage of the cover of night.
Everyone is ready to go.
The camp in the distance was still blazing.
At the same time, Zhang Jing gave an order: "Prepare quickly." ”
At this time, no one blew the whistle.
Everyone began to load cylinders into the pit.
The pit probably could hold a cylinder, of course...... There will be some margin, and the gap in this margin can be used for calibration.
Zhang Jing saw that everyone was in full swing, and with just one order, he began to fill the cylinder in the soil pit skillfully, not without pride.
A few days ago, after the training of new recruits, the military cadets had begun to carry out a lot of military training, and now Zhang Jingyi is tossing the thing, which is the so-called 'conscienceless cannon' that will be famous in later generations.
The biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty army was not that there were too few patterns of gunpowder, but that the people who used it and the artillery manufacturing process.
The people who use artillery, such as those gunners, basically few of them are qualified, and the vast majority of them are old fritters. When it came to wartime, they were temporarily clinging to their feet, and they didn't know anything about things like calibration, and they couldn't even control the amount of gunpowder to be filled.
As a result, accidents are frequent, sometimes ...... The casualties inflicted by gunpowder on themselves were even greater than those inflicted on the enemy.
In fact, artillery has always been a technical branch, in this era of non-mechanization, the regularization of artillery is very important, the same are artillery, in the hands of different people, the effect of play, can be described as a world of difference.
On the other hand, the most serious problem is the problem of process manufacturing.
Because the level of iron smelting in this era is not up to par, the cast artillery often has many pores, in order to prevent the bore, so we figured out a local method, in order to prevent the bore, well, my iron is not good, but I can thicken the barrel, as long as the thickness is enough level, it is guaranteed that it will not explode.
So, a lot of big guys appeared, the running tube of the artillery, extremely thick, but also extremely heavy, this thing has no effect except for defending the city, but such a thick barrel, in fact, the power is also very limited, want to rely on this large-scale killing of the enemy, it is nothing less than a fool's dream.
And without a conscience cannon, the problem of the latter is solved.
As for the problem of the former, Zhang Jingyi has made up for it through continuous training.
Artillery is not only as simple as firing artillery, but also needs to understand basic mathematical knowledge, and more importantly, it is necessary to learn the principle of projectile.
Otherwise, they will not even understand the basic military orders, and they will shoot indiscriminately except for wasting money, which is of little use except for wasting money.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was really professional, as soon as he saw these guys...... Sure enough, it was loading a 'cannon', and I was suddenly startled. The instinct to survive made him quickly move away from the cylinders one by one.
He's a professional gunner.
Of course, I know that the power of artillery is indeed not small, but ...... The stakes are significant.
If this is blown up and the thief is not killed, maybe he will be finished first!
Everyone silently stuffed the cylinders into the holes.
Then he began to charge gunpowder skillfully again.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse watched intently, almost suffocating when he saw the amount of gunpowder these people had filled with.
So he couldn't care about the majesty of being an emperor, and said with a little panic: "Slow, slow, how can you pretend so much?" Zhang Qing, I'm going to blow people up. ”
"Is that what that's called much?" Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but disdainfully said: "The explosives bag is called too much." ”
"What?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse's face turned pale all of a sudden, and exclaimed, "What's in this bag...... Explosives in the bag? ”
"That's right." Zhang Jingyi said very calmly: "Not only explosives, but also iron sand in it, the iron sand is soaked in feces and urine, Your Majesty...... You won't be scared, will you? ”
This...... It's a little exciting.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse had never seen such a way to play.
He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Aren't you afraid of blowing up?" ”
Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Isn't the iron bucket buried in the soil?" It can also blow up the dirt. ”
After filling a large amount of gunpowder, everyone began to put a separator board in the cylinder, and then ...... That's when they started stuffing gunpowder packets into the barrels.
Stuffing the gunpowder bag is a technical job, because it has to be wired, these guys, I don't know how many times they have practiced, the action is very skillful, and they quickly arrange the lead properly.
Immediately afterwards, it seemed that the gunpowder package was not densely filled, and some people even stretched out their feet and stepped on the gunpowder bag fiercely.
So, let's live!
"Are you ready?"
"Ready."
"Then let's do it."
"Yes."
In the darkness, the people who responded to Zhang Jingyi were excited.
One of them, an officer-like man, picked up a monocular.
This thing was bought from the Franco-man, and it cost a lot of money, and there were only four of them in the military academy.
He kept observing something carefully, and finally lowered his voice and said, "In the direction of three o'clock...... This camp is big enough, just bomb it desperately. Obey my orders......"
Hear the order......
The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but hurriedly move away.
Although he was also excited in his heart, he didn't want to die unexplained.
……
And at this time, in this camp of Jiannu.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, there is a person in armor of the Ming army who is sitting in the big tent, stepping on a woolen blanket.
It's cold and windy outside, but it's warm like spring.
The man in the armor of the Ming army said with a smile: "Then Your Majesty's line suddenly started a fire, and Ningyuan City has become a mess, Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui attacked each other, digging each other's old bottoms, it can be described as extremely lively, master...... I'm afraid that this Liaodong rout is a foregone conclusion. ”
"Now that the Ming Dynasty has no leader, and the generals of Liaodong are separated from Germany, it is a good time to conquer Ningyuan in one fell swoop, attack Jinzhou, and lead troops to Shanhaiguan. When the Ming Emperor came to Liaodong, the slave felt that this was an opportunity, so he immediately repaired the book to the master, and the slave had expected that the master was ambitious, and as soon as he got the letter, he was going to lead troops to come, and the Ming Emperor competed. ”
The master mentioned in this person's mouth was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, and wore a warm hat on his head, and the warm hat was inlaid with an eastern pearl.
He looked at the slave in front of him, his eyes seemed to be smiling, but he got up and said in Chinese: "This time I brought troops here, but it's a pity that the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty died first, if not, capture the little emperor, and you can take Beijing directly." But...... Now the hearts of the people in Liaodong are floating, but it is also a good time to attack in a big way, this time you have a meritorious report, and there will be a heavy reward at that time, and after this battle, I will raise your nationality and let you be the real banner man, and at that time, you and I will be the real master and slave. ”
This person was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down, and said excitedly: "To be able to serve the master, the slave is really fortunate to have three lives, master, you look at it, in Ningyuan City, my subordinates have already been prepared, and when the master you take down the Yizhou Wei first, you can drive straight in, and then I let my subordinates open the city gate, and the master can take Ningyuan in one fell swoop." ”
The master nodded, smiled, and said like a spring breeze: "Okay, you don't have to be excited, I know your loyalty...... You hurry back first, don't let Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui in Ningyuan City suspect it. ”
"Yes." The man got up gratefully, wiped his tears and nose, nodded and said, "Take care, master." ”
Immediately, he stepped out of the big tent quickly.
He walked on his front foot.
Then a Jiannu ox came in, this man was a tiger's back, although he was young, but his face was already full of beard.
He turned his head and glared at the Han general with disdain, and waited for the man to walk away before he sneered: "This kind of person ...... The master also said that he was loyal, and if he was loyal, how could he serve us. ”
The Jiannu man with a warm hat and a white face put his hands behind his back and smiled: "The Han people are like this, if you want to control him, you will inevitably have to say some beautiful words, just like we are fishing and hunting, when you let the dog chase the bear, you also need to give him a piece of meat first, touch its head, what, worship...... What are you here to do? ”
The young man named Ao Bai seemed to remember something important, and hurriedly said: "The spy said that there seemed to be people moving in the southeast direction, and at first I thought it was a scout, but I noticed that it was not like ...... It seems that there are quite a few of them. ”
The man wearing the warm hat laughed: "Since the Ming army defeated a small group of our military horses in the capital, it has no idea how thick the sky is. Seemingly...... Recently they have become familiar with night battles, but it's a pity...... I'm waiting for them tonight to attack at night! In their art of war, this is called waiting for work! When they do attack, they can wipe out all their carefully selected elite soldiers. ”
"I have heard that this time the Ming Emperor came here, and also brought an elite army, stationed in Jinzhouwei, our two thousand eight banner elites, against their hundreds of Han soldiers, how can they lose? Tonight...... Just give them a result. You arrange well, pretend not to notice their tracks, hide in the camp and ambush the soldiers, and when the time comes...... Catch them all. ”
"Yes."
Ao bowed and went triumphantly.
……
At this time, the Ming military cadets had already filled all the explosives packages.
Zhang Jingyi and the Emperor of the Apocalypse were already very familiar with each other, lying on the ground, making a gesture that a boy should protect himself.
Immediately afterward, a long whistle blew under the silent night sky.
As a result, one by one, the fire folds first ignited the fuse of the explosive pack, and then ...... Someone lit the lead of the gunpowder in the iron barrel again.
Rumble......
There was a muffled sound, and the earth shook.
Zhang Jingyi suddenly felt this shock, making her internal organs uncomfortable.
At the same time, the iron bucket buried in the pit shook violently, emitting a fire, and then ...... The first one had a bag of explosives the size of half a millstone...... It crossed a perfect half-arc in the sky, and the lead of the powder bag was still shining with dazzling fire in mid-air.
Then, a continuous roar was heard.
Dozens of powder packets flew in the night sky at the same time.
This moment.
Fire trees and silver flowers, the dark night sky is lit up with a little stars!
