However, there were still at least 20 Divine Fire Crows that landed in the phalanx of Eight Banners Manchuria, and with a huge explosion, more than 20 craters were blown up in the phalanx of Eight Banners Manchuria in an instant.

Behind the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domains of Mongolia also suffered several shots.

The Eight Banners soldiers who were within five steps of the center of the explosion were instantly blown into charred corpses.

The Eight Banners within a radius of twenty steps were also swept to the ground by the huge air wave generated by the explosion, and after they got up, the whole person was stunned, and their companions did not react to them.

However, the Eight Banners Manchuria is really worthy of the title of elite.

suffered such a critical blow, let alone collapse, not even the slightest commotion.

There were a total of seven phalanxes of six flags, large and small, and they didn't move at all.

The Eight Banners Mongolia in the right rear and the outer vassal Mongolia in the left rear were in a commotion.

But fortunately, the generals of the Eight Banners and the Taiji of the Mongolian ministries reacted fairly quickly and quickly quelled the riots.

The military generals of the Eight Banners Mongolia and the big and small Taiji of the Outer Domains Mongolia are worthy of seeing a big scene, even if they are hit by unexpected long-range firearms, they are still calm and calm.

This is the strength of a winning army.

The confidence accumulated over 50 years is really not blowing.

However, it was not over, as soon as the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domain Mongolia returned to calm, hundreds of Divine Fire Flying Crows roared into the sky in the Ming army array, filling the sky again.

"The thief, still coming? It's endless, isn't it? ”

Sony instantly realized that there were still many more Divine Fire Flying Crows of the Ming Army.

Did the Ming army make the Divine Fire Crow a conventional weapon?

In that case, wouldn't it be waiting for death to stay where we are?

At this point, there are only two options, either go backward or go forward.

Retreat is definitely not good, as soon as the battle starts, there can only be advance without retreat, retreat will be chaotic, the Ming army will take advantage of the situation to crush, waiting for the Qing army is a big defeat, undefeated will also be defeated!

Only by moving forward and moving fast can we avoid the attack of the Ming army's Divine Fire Crow.

Because Sony has been keenly aware of the fact that the attack interval of the Ming Army's Divine Fire Crow is very long.

At that moment, Sony opened his throat and roared angrily: "Da Xu's order, the whole army advances, advance at full speed!" ”

The flag-guarding few bayalas immediately pressed down Sony's Chinese army and pointed straight ahead.

After seeing this scene, the trumpeters in the Qing army array blew the horns vigorously, and the drummers also beat the war drums vigorously, and the low horn horns and the passionate war drums rushed into the sky again.

】

The Eight Banners Han Army and the Green Battalion, which were originally stationary, once again pushed the vans and artillery carts forward quickly.

The Chinese army and the Eight Banners of Manchuria on both flanks also pushed the heavy carts forward quickly, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domains of Mongolia also lined up in a slightly messy formation and hurriedly followed.

Lian Yong, who walked at the back, also followed with trepidation.

But even so, it is impossible to avoid the third wave of Divine Fire Crows.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, and the Qing army had only moved less than ten paces, and the third wave of the Ming army's Divine Fire Flying Crows had already been overwhelmingly accumulated, and most of them fell on the Chinese army and the left and right wings.

The Ming army's divine artillery, the hit rate is indeed very poor, and the error of 300 steps is a basic operation.

In particular, after the first wave was launched, the launcher shifted, and the hit rate was even worse, and there was even a situation where the rockets collided in the air and then fell.

But the goal is too big.

Jiannu discharged a huge military formation with a width of nearly seven kilometers from north to south and a depth of more than three kilometers from east to west, so as long as the Ming army's divine artillery battalion aimed at the Jiannu Chinese army, the probability of deviating was close to zero, because even if it deviated from 500 steps, the landing point of the divine artillery shells was still within Jiannu's military formation.

So except for those that collided and fell in the air, almost all the shells hit.

It is that there is a gap between the front team, the second team, the third team and the fourth team of Jiannu, and the gap is still very large, resulting in a lot of divine artillery shells hitting the gap, even so, there is still a two or three percent hit rate.

So the third row of divine artillery shells fell, and Jiannu was blown up a lot in an instant.

One of the divine artillery shells fell not far in front of the Chinese military lookout, and with a huge explosion, several Lian Yong, who were responsible for pulling the lookout, were killed in an instant.

There were many more Lian Yong who were overturned to the ground.

The birch-made lookout was also on the verge of turning over.

Sonny and the others, who were standing on the lookout, almost fell.

The hundreds of Lian Yong who were responsible for pulling the lookout almost collapsed.

In the end, these Lian Yong do not have the background of Eight Banners Manchuria, and they are relatively easy to be frightened.

However, the flagmen of the two yellow flags reacted very quickly, and after cutting a few heads in a row, Lian Yong regained his composure.

The Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domain Mongolia were similar, and after cutting off a few heads, they quickly regained their composure, because in comparison, the swords of the Governor were more lethal.

The chance of being killed by the Ming army's Divine Fire Crow is actually not very large.

But once they turn around and flee, they will be killed by the Overseer 100%.

Under the shock of the Warlord, Jiannu's entire array gradually regained its composure, at least far from collapse, and after three salvos of divine artillery, Jiannu also seemed to have adapted.

Because they found that the lethality of the Ming army's divine artillery shells was actually not great.

A Divine Fire Crow, even if it hits head-on, will kill more than a dozen people at most.

This kind of lethality does not seem to be much stronger than the red-coated artillery of the Ming army.

After realizing this, Jian Nu regained his composure, shouting the trumpet while stepping forward, in the wave after wave of trumpets, the upcoming fourth wave of divine fire crows was not so terrifying.

……

"It's a shame." Seeing this scene, Chongzhen said with regret, "If the black powder of the divine artillery is replaced with smokeless gunpowder, the lethality can be increased by at least ten times!" If this is the case, maybe it is just ten rounds of salvos from the Divine Artillery Battalion, which can directly collapse the large array of Jiannu. ”

Chongzhen's words are really not nonsense.

The full weight of the divine artillery reached two hundred catties.

It is more than twice as large as the Divine Fire Flying Crow (80 catties).

But the weight of the warhead of the God Artillery is only twenty catties.

Because the thrust of black powder was insufficient, it was not possible to deliver a larger load to a distance of three kilometers.

Among the 20 catties of warheads, the weight of the cast iron shell and the internal thin iron nails accounted for 16 catties, and the remaining four catties were black powder, equivalent to 400 grams of smokeless gunpowder.

So this is actually a 20-pound grenade.

It is equivalent to a cluster grenade bundled together with 20 border grenades during the Anti-Japanese War.

The lethality within a radius of ten meters of the explosion is very strong, even if the fragments cannot penetrate the armor stomach, they can also inflict fatal heavy damage to the human body through sound waves and shock waves.

But there is some powerlessness against the armor target ten meters away.

At most, it was overturned by the air wave generated by the explosion, which made people dizzy.

However, if the black powder of the God Artillery is changed to smokeless gunpowder, then the total weight of the projectile body is also two hundred catties, and the weight of the warhead can be at least forty or fifty catties or even seventy or eighty catties, plus the energy density of smokeless gunpowder is four or five times that of black powder, so the lethality of the God Artillery will definitely increase by more than ten times.

If so, its power would be roughly equivalent to that of a 155 caliber grenade!

A 155 caliber grenade with a radius of 60 meters does not leave an inch of grass! The maximum killing distance can reach more than 300 meters!

If there were really 1,000 155-caliber grenades smashed into Jiannu's large array at once, that picture was so beautiful that Chongzhen didn't even dare to imagine it.

So the future prospects of the God Artillery Battalion are very broad.

Of course, throwing flowering bombs a few kilometers away is not the ultimate goal of the god artillery.

Because such a task can be completely completed by field artillery, and there is no need for god artillery at all.

In Chongzhen's vision, the god artillery was best used to throw incendiary bombs, that is, a large can of incendiary agent mixed with animal fat, fuel oil, and sulfur fire nitrate, and threw it into the enemy's large array and then detonated.

Such an incendiary bomb is enough to make any infantry formation history.

On the battlefield in the future, the infantry can no longer fight in formation, or they will wait to be slaughtered.

Although he was still in Beijing, and the decisive battle with Jiannu had just begun, Chongzhen's heart had already flown back to Nanjing, and he had flown back to the Daming Arsenal, thinking about improving the god artillery and developing flowering shells.

Daming's firearms needed to be further improved.

Otherwise, it will not be able to keep up with the pace of expansion of the Ming Dynasty.

……

"It's a shame." Li Zicheng also made the same exclamation.

"Just now Jiannu was caught off guard by the Ming army's divine fire flying crow, and almost collapsed, if the Ming army seized the opportunity and took advantage of Jiannu's timidity to drive the army to launch a surprise attack, even if it could not defeat Jiannu in one fell swoop, it could at least make Jiannu fall into passivity, but unfortunately, the Ming army did not seize such a good opportunity."

"It's a shame indeed." Song Xiance echoed, "Missed a good opportunity in vain. ”

"Chongzhen, the dog emperor, is still as stupid as before, and there are obviously people under him who can't use it."

"Putting battlefield veterans like Huang Degong and Jin Shengyuan refuse to use them, but instead wantonly use scholars like Zheng Sen, Xu Yingwei, and Yan Yingyuan, I don't know what to think."

Speaking of this, he said: "If there is a veteran like Huang Degong in charge, he will definitely not miss such a good opportunity." ”

Li Zicheng snorted lightly and said: "Where can scholars like Zheng Sen, Xu Yingwei, and Yan Yingyuan fight, Chongzhen is taking military affairs as a child's play, how can he not be defeated?" ”

This time, Gu Junen did not agree.

Li Zicheng and Song Xiance can pretend not to know, but Gu Junen can't pretend not to know.

Xu Yingwei and Yan Yingyuan, the two scholars, are not simple, the Battle of Hunhe, the Battle of Dagukou and even the Battle of Shanyang, aren't they the two of them commanding? Therefore, if the Ming army did not attack, it may not be able to see an opportunity.

Gu Junen is more willing to believe that the Ming army has other considerations.

It's just that until this moment, Gu Junen still didn't think that the Ming army could win.

In today's battle, the Ming army is still unable to escape defeat, but judging from the current situation, Jiannu is estimated not to win too easily, which is different from his previous judgment.

But this is a good thing for Dashun.
