The sudden change stunned the Green Battalion artillery at once.

Obviously, the artillery of the green battalion did not expect the Ming army to also bring artillery.

At least 30 camels were beaten to pieces, and the others were also frightened, and instinctively got up and tried to escape, but thanks to the well-trained artillery of the Green Battalion, they desperately pulled back.

"Steady, steady, no one is allowed to run."

"Don't be afraid of Minggou's shelling, the second round will not be so accurate."

The leader of the green battalion who led the team raised his waist knife and roared hoarsely.

Under the reprimand of the commanders, the camel artillery quickly stabilized their position again.

So the camel that got up lay down on the ground again under the control of the camel's hands.

While the artillery of the Green Battalion was busy, the Eight Banners Mongols instinctively distanced themselves from the two flanks, as far away from the camel artillery position in the middle as possible, so as not to suffer from the fish in the pond.

In a few moments, the camel artillery was loaded with ammunition.

"Fire!" The green battalion staff leader pressed down the waist knife hard.

More than 100 gunners invariably lit the fuse of the camel cannon.

The camel cannon is actually an oversized flintlock pistol, but such a large flintlock pistol must not be able to make a firing mechanism, and even if it does, it can't be triggered, so it can only be ignited by a fuse.

Almost at the same time, a row of dazzling red lights also bloomed on the artillery positions of the Ming army on the opposite side.

The artillery of the Ming army had already reloaded the ammunition in less than a minute, and fired a second row of shells at the camel artillery positions of the Qing army.

If Chongzhen stood here, he would definitely be so angry that he would scold his mother.

Oh my God, what the hell is this? That's not how cannons are used!

Artillery, before the flowering shells, were mainly used to bombard large fortifications, such as city walls, such as castles, such as strong barracks, and only one case would be used to hit the infantry, that is, the infantry had rushed to the front, and at this time the cannon would be loaded with hundreds of bullets, that is, shotguns, directly against the infantry.

But to fight infantry at a distance of 1,000 or even 2,000 paces is really a blind chicken.

There is only one iron lump, not to mention whether it can fall into the enemy's infantry column, and even if it falls in the ranks, it can only penetrate one line at best.

If the enemy is a three-stage strike, there are three people in one line.

More often than not, shells can only land in open spaces or gaps.

So using artillery to hit infantry at a distance is more of a deterrent.

The so-called deterrence is used to weaken the morale of the enemy and improve the morale of one's own side.

As long as the enemy spreads out the artillery positions and increases the interval between the two guns to twenty or even fifty paces, how much can you hit with a solid iron bullet? What a waste!

That is, the interval between the 200 camel artillery of the green battalion just now was too small, and it was arranged in a dislocation before and after, so the hit rate of the Ming army's mountain artillery was invisibly increased a lot, otherwise it would have been heard.

But the second round of artillery shelling by the Ming army did not have such a good thing.

Because the first round of shelling just now has shaken the parameters away.

At this time, the cannons are all steel connections, and it is easy to shake off the parameters after firing.

Only when the invention of the cannon tube withdrawal and re-entry machine will the accuracy of the cannon be qualitatively improved, and supplemented by flowering shells, the lethality will be reborn.

But the current artillery does not have a brake and a re-entry machine.

Moreover, after the chaos just now, the interval between Jiannu's artillery has been widened.

As a result, the artillery of the Ming army and the artillery of the Qing army fought a "fierce" artillery battle.

I saw that the artillery on both sides was constantly firing, reloading, firing and reloading, and they were very busy.

Cannonballs continued to pass through the air, leaving behind a long series of screams that seemed to tear the sky apart, and then smashed to the ground with a thud, and plowed a long furrow in the ground.

But when I look at the landing point, hey my grass, flying Java country.

In short, the operation was like a tiger, and the record was zero bar five.

That's right, the Ming artillery destroyed five camel cannons in almost half an hour of artillery battle, but the Jiannu artillery failed to destroy even one of the Ming army's mountain artillery.

It's not that it didn't hit, but it didn't destroy.

The results of the battle are so different, firstly, because the Ming army's mountain artillery has better performance and is accurate.

In addition, the mountain artillery of the Ming army was shot in a small area, while the camel artillery of Jiannu had a huge cross-section, so the probability of being hit by the shell was greatly increased.

The bigger reason is that as long as Jiannu's camel cannon is killed or injured by the camel, it means that it is destroyed, because it can no longer be used without the gun mount, but even if the Ming army's mountain cannon is hit by the gun mount, it doesn't matter, because the main body of the gun mount is cast in iron and cannot be broken.

It didn't work to hit the wheel.

The Ming army brought spare wheels.

But the results of the Ming army were just like that.

Ninety mountain cannons bombarded five camels for half an hour.

In fact, there is another reason for such a low hit rate on both sides, that is, the smoke that envelops the positions, and the continuous shelling produces a large amount of smoke, which completely covers the artillery positions of both sides.

At this time, I can't even see the figures of both sides, and I fight completely by feeling.

Zhu Cijiong was the first to realize that this would not work, isn't this a blind chicken?

Without Chongzhen's guidance, Zhu Cijiong could think of this, which was not easy.

This is equivalent to the first ant to set its eyes on the three-dimensional world.

Zhu Cijiong immediately turned his head to Hu Guozhu and said: "Mr. Hu, even if it goes on like this, you can't win even if it gets dark, why don't you let the 2nd Brigade of Mountain Artillery change the target and fight the Mongolian cavalry?" ”

"Fight the Mongol cavalry?" Hu Guozhu's mind couldn't turn at once.

"Yes, just hit the Mongol cavalry on both flanks." Zhu Cijiong pointed to the wings and said, "How dense do you see the formation of the Mongolian cavalry? The effect of artillery against the Mongolian cavalry is definitely much better than that of the Jiannu artillery, and the most important thing is that the Mongolian cavalry will be scattered after a few rows of artillery, and when the time comes, we will be able to charge again, and if we don't do it, we will be able to crush the Mongolian cavalry in one fell swoop! ”

As soon as the Mongolian cavalry collapsed, didn't the Jiannu artillery in the middle become the dish of the Ming army?

"Done!" Hu Guozhu finally reacted, "Hit the Mongolian cavalry on both wings." ”

Hu Guozhu immediately sent another Guozisheng to inform Xie Yuancai to switch to two wings.

After Xie Yuancai received Hu Guozhu's order, he immediately re-measured the parameters, calculated the trajectory, and then turned the muzzle to lock on the Mongolian cavalry on the left and right.

At this time, more than 30,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners Mongolia were divided into two large mounds, which were guarded on the left and right flanks.

Therefore, as long as the 2nd Brigade of the Ming Army's Mountain Artillery aims at the center of these two large cavalry, the hit rate is almost 100%, and even after a shot, the parameters are not much of a problem.

As long as the landing point error does not exceed 500 steps, it can still hit.

At a distance of 1,000 steps, will the shell drop point exceed 500 steps? Definitely not.

Therefore, the 2nd Brigade of the Mountain Artillery of the Ming Army could hit even if it was fought with its eyes closed.

In fact, the first row of shells landed "accurately" in the center of the two large lumps on the left and right flanks, and in an instant, ninety blood grooves were plowed in the cavalry formation.

The Eight Banners Mongolia was caught off guard and was stunned by the Ming army.

Entering the mother thief, the Ming army does not talk about martial virtues, you don't fight the green battalion artillery, what do you do with us?

The Mongol cavalry was a little confused, not knowing whether they should continue to maintain their formation, or should they disperse, or retreat?

Just when the Mongolian cavalry was stunned, the second row of shells of the Ming artillery roared again, and in an instant, ninety blood grooves were plowed out in the cavalry formations on the left and right flanks.

I saw that where the solid iron bullet passed, people were flying on their backs and flesh and blood.

The iron bullet with a diameter of 2.5 inches and a weight of 4 catties roared with huge kinetic energy, and the lethality produced was undoubtedly extremely amazing, which could instantly penetrate more than ten horsemen.

According to history, solid iron bullets can penetrate up to 26 infantry columns.

The Ming army's 2.5-inch mountain cannon did not have this power, but there was no pressure to penetrate more than a dozen people.

Just these two rows of artillery bombardment caused more than 1,000 casualties to the Mongol cavalry on both flanks, and those Mongol cavalry who were not hit by the shells were also greatly frightened.

Because the sight of broken limbs in the place where the shells passed was too terrifying.

As a result, the Mongol cavalry on the left and right flanks retreated uncontrollably.

At first, it's just a retreat, but at this point it's dangerous to retreat, and it's easy to rout.

The Ming army on the opposite side also seized this opportunity, and Zhu Cijiong and Hu Guozhu lost no time in urging the cavalry to cover the killing.

Seeing the Ming cavalry rushing over, the Mongolian cavalry, which was already panicked, collapsed instantly, and no longer ignored the scolding of the staff leader or the left leader, turned the horse's head and galloped back and forth.

"Chase! Don't let go of a single Mongol cavalryman! Zhu Cijiong looked up to the sky and snorted.

In fact, no one could hear his roar at this time, but they could see his movements.

Seeing that the prince could take the lead in charging forward, the Ming soldiers were greatly encouraged, and immediately launched an overwhelming pursuit of the fleeing Mongolian cavalry.

At this time, even if the Eight Banners Mongolia was replaced by the Eight Banners Manchuria, it would be useless.

It is true that the Eight Banners Manchuria can suddenly turn to defense or even attack when retreating, but in the face of the cavalry of the Ming army like a tiger descending from the mountain at this time, I am afraid that it can only be blinded.

The Ming army chased this and directly chased it to the outside of Jinghai County.

If Hong Chengchou hadn't ordered the green battalion soldiers to set up red-coated cannons at the head of Jinghai City early, the Ming cavalry would have dared to chase down to the base of the city wall of Jinghai County, and then kill the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

Fortunately, there were red-coated cannons, and the Ming cavalry did not dare to approach.

Finally, the Eight Banners Mongolia retained some vitality.

But even so, the Eight Banners Mongolia was also crippled this time.

Of the more than 35,000 cavalry who attacked, less than 20,000 escaped.

What made Hong Chengchou even more painful was that none of the 200 camel cannons sent out to help in the battle escaped back, and they were wiped out by the Ming army.

Looking at the Ming cavalry showing off their might outside the range of the red-clothed cannon, Hong Chengchou's heart was cold.

This is troublesome, the Eight Banners Mongolia has been basically crippled, and it is already wishful thinking to cut off the Ming army's grain route, but if the Ming army's grain route cannot be cut off, the Qing Dynasty will not be able to consume the Ming Dynasty no matter what.
