Chapter 216: Mad Cow
"Don't mess around." One of the flag officers yelled.
On the city wall, the Ming officers and soldiers scattered and fled, and many township soldiers even abandoned their weapons and retreated to the city tower, but were stopped by the battalion soldiers who supervised the battle.
After having the Lu bus to attack the city, the soldiers no longer had to be pressed and beaten by the arrows and firearms of the Ming people.
Most of the guns of the Guangnan Army were the bronze cannons of the Franc machine.
Compared with ordinary iron cannons, copper cannons are less prone to explosion, lighter in texture, and can even carry more gunpowder in the chamber.
Therefore, the falcon cannons in the hands of the Guangnan soldiers were much more powerful and ranged than the iron cannons of the Ming people.
The gunners of the Ming army on the city wall were naturally not the masters who were passively beaten.
Seeing that Fanren's artillery was in battle, they also set up their artillery to shoot at each other.
At this moment, the Lu bus is actually still some distance away from the city wall.
Lead bullets and flowering bullets fell into the mud and smashed small craters.
In the huge field, there are pits and holes, and from time to time a puff of white smoke comes out.
The Ming defenders on the city wall unexpectedly found that the artillery in their hands could not reach each other.
The Ming people's Lei Fei cannon is only a mortar cannon, although it can fire shells, but it can only hit one or two hundred steps, and at this time, it can't reach the Lu bus in Guangnan at all.
As a rear-loading gun, the Furlong cannon could not be loaded with too much gunpowder due to its airtightness, and its range was extremely limited, with a range of only a few hundred steps.
Ruan Youjing is also worthy of being a famous general in Quang Nam.
During these days, observing the Ming artillery, it was found that its artillery had a limited range, and although it was powerful and fast, it was never able to reach the camp of the army.
Even when the soldiers were a little away from the city, the shells fired by the Mingren's artillery lost their accuracy.
Therefore, he deliberately let Lu Bus stop at a distance of about 500 steps from the Nongnai City Wall.
At this distance, the Akito's Furlong and Thunder Cannon couldn't reach each other at all.
A limited number of stone cannons and falcon cannons were also completely destroyed in the offensive and defensive battles of the previous days.
"Put!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang"
There was a loud bang, accompanied by bursts of white smoke in the Lu bus.
The Falcon Cannon purchased from the Franc Machine Man was so powerful that it smashed holes into the city walls, and countless mud and bricks fell from the walls.
"My lord, the artillery is too fierce, my lord, let's go down first." Several flag officers on the side desperately guarded Chen Shangchuan and escorted him away from the city wall.
"Bang!" A stone projectile struck a Franc cannon on the rampart.
Hundreds of pounds of Franc cannons were directly smashed out by six-pound stone bullets.
Scattered pieces of iron and iron slag were scattered everywhere, killing and injuring many officers and soldiers in the vicinity.
"Spread out, all spread out!" Chen Shangchuan broke free from several flag officers and raised the long knife in his hand to cross there.
"Don't mess around, give me back to my place." After speaking, Chen Shangchuan ordered his soldiers to immediately block the road and not allow anyone to escape the city wall.
"My lord, most of our artillery is small cannons, mortar cannons, and they can't reach the Lu bus on the opposite side at all." Wang Shi, who was guarding the city wall, was already covered in blood, and there was a cold arrow with a broken shaft stuck in his armor.
"The Lu bus is sturdy and tall, and ordinary small cannons can't help it." Chen Shangchuan shook his head.
At this moment, the Lu bus is getting closer and closer, and it is obvious that the Guangnan soldiers want to attack the city.
Most of the Franc cannons on the city wall were damaged, and the only few thunder cannons were still intermittently firing at the Lu bus in the distance.
"Don't cut the twist short." Seeing that the artilleryman used a knife to cut the medicine twist on the flowering bullet, Chen Shangchuan hurriedly stopped it.
"My lord, the soldiers are about to rush to the city." Several artillerymen saw that Chen Shangchuan had come over in person, and hurriedly reminded.
At this time, under the city, the soldiers who accompanied the Lu bus towards the city wall were about to kill the city.
The archers and musketeers of the Ming army guarding the city wall were overwhelmed by the cannons and crossbows on the Lu bus.
Naturally, the Zhenla soldiers would not let go of such a good opportunity, and rushed forward one after another.
"Just leave the people under the city to the archers and spearmen." Chen Shangchuan patted a flag officer and artillery commander on the shoulder and motioned him to look at the Lu bus not far away.
"My lord, the Lu bus is at least more than three hundred steps away from us, and even if the flowering bullet hits, it won't hurt this thing." When the flag officer saw Chen Shangchuan signaling him to aim the cannon at the Lu bus, he wanted to cry without tears.
Before, when the Lu bus approached, the artillery of the Ming people had been firing non-stop.
However, the flowering shells of the Lei Fei cannon were always used to kill and injure the infantry, and they had no effect on the tall and sturdy Lu Gong chariot at all.
"Did you see the dozens of buffaloes pulling Lu's car?" Chen Shangchuan Road.
At this time, the gunners of the Ming army reacted and looked at each other.
The Lu bus was as huge as a building, and naturally it was not something that a few mules and horses could drag.
At this moment, the chariot dragging forward in front of the Lu bus was actually dozens of buffaloes.
The Ming gunners on the side understood and hurriedly aimed the thunder cannon at the cattle in front.
"Bang!" A burst of white smoke rose with a loud bang.
A flowering bullet flew straight out, arcing across the sky and falling into the dry mud.
The soldiers who heard the sound of the cannon subconsciously used Teng Dun to block up.
But the high-speed moving flowering bombs can be blocked by these small Teng Shields, and they are just seeking psychological comfort.
The cannonball crossed the mud, and a soldier who was blocking the way was sent out by the cannonball, and the people on the side saw a blood splash everywhere, and when they looked up, they saw that there was an extra blood groove in the mud, and the unlucky soldier fell from the air like a fallen leaf, and he was no longer human.
The shell glided dozens of steps on the dry mud floor, and finally the twist was completely extinguished, igniting the gunpowder inside.
"Bang!" A loud bang came from behind Fan Bing.
Fan Bing, who heard the voice, was startled and subconsciously fell to the ground.
These days have been shadowed by the Ming people's flowering shells, every time they hear the Ming people's cannonballs fall to the ground and explode, no matter how far away, the soldiers always reflexively squat down or lie down, afraid of stones, lead to hit themselves.
The generals who were angry and supervised the battle on the side were scolding.
Of course, beside him, there were naturally more than a dozen soldiers holding rattan shields and wooden cards to act as a human wall for him.
"Get up for me, the Ming people are blind, and they have all shot behind you." A real soldier stood up scoldingly, kicked the soldiers on the side, and didn't have a good air.
The shells of the Lei Fei Cannon did not hit the Fan soldiers, but smashed into the cattle behind the Fan soldiers.
With a loud and earth-shattering bang, hundreds of stones and lead bullets flew out of the dust, piercing straight into the herd.
The sound of artillery on the battlefield had already frightened the cattle, and the sudden stone and lead slag hit the herd, and in an instant, several buffaloes in front of them were scarred.
The cattle were frightened by this cannon and scurried everywhere, and the cattle herds tightened their ropes and whipped them desperately.
"Okay." Seeing that the herd no longer moved forward, Wang Shi was overjoyed.
Seeing this, the Ming gunners on the city wall also aimed their artillery at the cattle in the distance.
The flowering bomb was shot out directly, and this time even the medicine twist was not cut.
There was a loud bang, and hundreds of stones and lead slag were splashed everywhere, which caused the herd to be completely chaotic.
Dozens of mad cows broke the reins and rushed in all directions.
It didn't matter if he ran this run, he crashed directly into the nearby Fan Soldier Array.
The soldiers on both sides of the rushing car looked at the dozens of mad cows rushing towards them with a look of horror.
