Chapter 171: A Great Gift from the Sky

However, the pleasant time did not last long, after all, it was in Fuzhou City.

There is also a division commander of the Heavenly Tiger Army who wants to add food to the current Houjin tent.

"Quick, brothers, the shells are ready, let's add some condiments to the lunch of these slaves..!"

The soldiers of the artillery brigade moved quickly, thanks to the assistance of a large number of soldiers from other infantry divisions, and the weight of the new guns was still very heavy.

However, thanks to the fact that the gun design was not so complex in the beginning, most of the parts could be disassembled to facilitate transportation in various forms at critical moments.

The Tianhu Army stipulates that artillery shells are based on ten rounds, that is, the number of shells fired within one minute of the fastest rate of fire of new artillery, as a base unit of artillery shells.

This time, the Celestial Tiger Army prepared five shell bases for each artillery piece that was lifted up the city wall.

And also reserved two additional shell bases as a precaution for the possibility of a "dog jumping over the wall" type of suicide charge in the direction of Fuzhou City in the post-Jin army.

The Tianhu Army is composed of three new artillery pieces as an artillery battery, that is, the smallest artillery base unit, and this attack did not leave a way out.

This means that an extra spare gun in each artillery battalion is also activated.

Therefore, on the current Fuzhou city wall, the total number of artillery in an artillery brigade is equivalent to 27 artillery battalions, that is, 270 new guns, with five artillery bases.

Du Chengan undoubtedly gambled on his blood this time.

Prepared a meal companion with up to 13,500 shells for the Houjin army, which can be called a luxurious lunch condiment, Du Chengan felt that the Houjin army must not be able to resist its unique charm.

As a result, the Houjin soldiers, who were feasting on the temporary stove where the Han soldiers were cooking in the Houjin camp, received an air express from the artillery brigade of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army.

Boom!

Boom!

The new guns benefited from the technological development of fixed hollow-filled gunpowder, coupled with the technical advantages of Armstrong's rear-loading rifled guns, which allowed them to rely on their absolute height at higher places.

In the air, the shells take advantage of the difference in angle and fly farther.

The advantage of fixed ammunition is that it can be reloaded and fired faster, in order to avoid the problem of barrel overheating caused by rapid firing.

The Great Tomorrow Tiger Army also appropriately used a large number of worn quilts collected in the city, which were covered with water and wrapped around the barrels of the cannon to prevent explosions caused by overheating.

After all, no matter how good the quality is, it can't stand the gift of five shells prepared by Du Chengan for Houjin this time.

After the cannonball flew out of the muzzle, it flew quickly in the air towards Houjin's camp.

Thereupon.

The soldiers of the Houjin army saw a scene that they will never forget.

"Lubatu, what do you see flying in the sky? What is it that we haven't seen a bird? A Houjin soldier asked another soldier as he ate the food in his hand.

Obviously, the soldiers around him were reluctant to answer his childish question, after all, the time to eat is limited, and now is the time for war.

Every minute of time is extraordinarily precious, so he casually said without raising his head: "Maybe!" ”

Just for an instant.

Then he heard the man next to him let out a scream, "No! No! It's the Ming army that has fired again! ”

The cannonballs in the sky fell quickly from the sky not far from the Houjin tent, and the falling cannonballs gradually magnified in their eyes. Zoom in, zoom in again.

And this scene happened to skip the artillery position of the Han military camp that had been ignored by Duoduo just now.

Moment.

A large number of Houjin soldiers who were sitting around eating lunch were blown upside down, and their corpses were strewn all over the field, and the blood mist that flew in the sky due to the huge explosion rose with the smoke generated after the shells landed.

Duoduo, who was feasting in the big tent, said secretly almost instantly: "It's over!" ”

Cry!

Screams!

Roar!

With the scattered firelight, the camp tent of Houjin was instantly enveloped, and the artillery fire did not stop at all.

The soldiers of the artillery brigade of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army on the city wall almost used their fastest speed, constantly loading, firing, loading, firing...

The repetitive mechanized operation made many soldiers of the Heavenly Tiger Army feel that they were already immersed in it.

Fortunately, all the soldiers of the artillery brigade have received strict shooting training, and they do not forget to adjust the inclination angle of the artillery in time between firing, and flexibly change the landing point of the shells after firing.

Be sure to let every Houjin Jiannu taste the steel condiments from the Ming Dynasty as the division commander Du Chengan said.

The Houjin camp has become a pot of porridge.

And in order to protect Duoduo's safety, the guards around him also escorted Duoduo out of the big tent at the first time, after all, the towering big tent is the most conspicuous one among the Ming army's shelling targets at the moment.

Duoduo couldn't help but roar, "Leave me alone! Hurry up and find a way to extinguish the fire and find a way to save people! Let all the soldiers who are running around lie on the ground! ”

However, no one cares what he, Lord Belle, says now.

Under the roar of the shelling, all the sounds that could be produced by manpower were so small, and they seemed so fragile in such a huge wave of shelling.

Seeing what you say doesn't do much of a difference.

Rao is a self-proclaimed resourceful Duoduo couldn't help but be a little depressed, so he had to retreat to the rear with the guards.

However, after the two bases had already been shot.

Fuzhou City.

The artillery observer in charge of the observation waved the command flag in his hand.

It was signaled that all the artillerymen could begin to use the extended firing method according to the predetermined plan, and in an instant a large number of new guns raised their heads again.

The elevation angle of the shooting was increased again, and the purpose was to gradually complete the full coverage of the Houjin position.

In the artillery position of the Han army camp not far from the Houjin position, all the Han artillery soldiers were watching the scene in front of them in amazement.

Jin Jiannu, who was originally in charge of guarding them, also had time to eat.

I left them early and went back to the tent to eat, but now it seems that the man has now become part of the countless minced meat in the Houjin tent.

"Brothers! Don't you think now is the best time? ”

The Han artillery officer led by him shouted loudly at the soldiers around him.

"Ahh

"Now! Right now, we turned the muzzle of the gun and shelled the camp of the Jiannu, so that these Jiannu could feel how powerful their slaves were in the past! ”

"Good!"

"Brethren, the time has come for vengeance! it! ”
