Zhang Mingyuan's proposal was a typical whimsy, he planned to establish a position next to the enemy's camp, which was equivalent to sleeping soundly on the side of Cao Cao's couch with a steel knife......

"Isn't that?" Xiao Chen interrupted him, "Let's not talk about this first, let me ask you, if you lift the cannons up, can you blow those siege engines to pieces for me!" Also, if you set up a fort at the head of the city, can you hit those catapults? ”

"Huh?" Zhang Mingyuan was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, Mr., you scolded me for, and you yourself are also, cannons are used in the city? What if it explodes, what if the gunpowder catches fire? But if you don't talk about it, it seems that there is nothing that can't be done.

As for bombarding that catapult position, there should be no problem with the firing track, and there is no problem with the shells landing on that damn anti-cline plane, but there is only one problem, the muzzle elevation angle is too low

The current artillery shells are not modern shells, the bottom powder and the warhead are separated, and when fired, the bottom powder must be stuffed from the muzzle of the cannon, and then the shell is pushed in.

The shell is lit first, and then the primer is ignited, so if the muzzle elevation angle is too low, the shell will fall out......

But it seems that this problem can also be solved.

It's just that Xiao Chen's proposal is beyond the scope of the basic theory of artillery fire taught by the Military Academy, so Zhang Mingyuan pondered for a while before hesitating and shook his head and nodded again.

"What the hell is you, boy, shaking me up?" Xiao Chen said, "Okay or not!" ”

"If Mr. Hui says, the students don't know if it will work, but I think I can give it a try!" Zhang Mingyuan ordered his subordinates loudly, "Go and carry ten cannons for me, fifty shells, six cannons and one hundred shells under the city, do a good job of protection, first carry four guns, each only carries five bombs, let's test fire it!" ”

"Dashuai, I'm afraid I can't do it." Zhang Heng said, "The place at the head of the city is too narrow, in case a big cannon explodes, it will kill a large number of people, and if it is serious, even the city wall can collapse." ”

"And this cannon doesn't seem to work from above." Lin Feixiong has led the troops for many years, and he will also use cannons, but he has never heard of the muzzle facing down, that is not called bombardment, it is called an accident!

So are you going to bombard each other or our own brothers? Not to mention the cannonball sliding down the city, even if it explodes under the city, it will blow up our city wall, although it may not be damaged, but it is also a self-destructive city.

"I don't care so much now." Xiao Chen said, "Try it and then say!" ”

After a while, four cannons were lifted onto the city, and two of them were loaded on wheels and pushed directly along the left side of the city wall, shouting loudly while pushing back, "Brothers, pay attention, the cannons are coming, don't bump into them, there is a big pimple on the head!" ”

The White Dragon Guard brothers in the city were all dumbfounded, have we all been killed and injured? It's your artillery's turn to go to the front?

It's not what you're going to do, what are you going to do?

Push us here, push us, don't you see that we are in a fierce battle with the enemy, isn't this a troublemaker?

The enemy is over there, hey!

But there are those who are confused, and there are those who are smart, and a few officers with bright brains understood the intentions of the artillerymen at a glance, and said in their hearts that it is okay to lie in the groove?

Immediately ordered the brothers to form a shield formation to cover the artillery brothers, listen to my orders, wait a while, I said lie down for me, don't forget to cover your ears......

Because of the ultra-close shooting, and it can't destroy the stomping wall at the head of our own city, so Zhang Mingyuan ordered to shoot as close as possible, how close? Throw the muzzle of the cannon directly to the siege engine!

When the Langya soldiers on the siege vehicle were surprised to see the cannon suddenly appear at the head of the city, they didn't know that the big thing was bad when the black muzzle of the cannon came a few feet in front of them and began to sneer at white smoke!

The last thought that flashed through my mind was only three words, special!

"Get down on your stomach!" With the hoarse call of the officer, the brothers next to the cannon all fell to the ground, covering their ears tightly with their hands, only listening to a loud bang, feeling that the city was slightly shaken.

When they got up again, the ironclad siege vehicle in front of them had collapsed, and they could only hear the howl of ghosts and wolves under the city, but when the car fell, a large number of people were crushed to death.

"The artillery is mighty!" A group of White Dragon Guard soldiers cheered loudly, this time it was a big eye-opener, it turned out that the artillery could also fight with a white knuckle!

"Keep shooting and don't stop!" Zhang Mingyuan ordered his officers to continue fighting, knock out all the remaining siege vehicles for me, use the two cannons in rotation, and push me down the city immediately if there is a breakdown, any other way can be done over there......

He flew to the right side of the city wall, set up a fort on a horse-faced pier that had not been attacked, squinted his eyes, stretched out his thumb to measure the shooting of Zhuyuan, and measured the speed of the wind by the fluttering of the flags in the opposing camp......

Xiao Chen stood by with a look of anticipation, while Lin Feixiong and Xu Zhisheng and several other generals watched coldly, what is the use of you kid making these useless things?

Just ask you that the muzzle of this cannon sags like a special eunuch, how can the cannonball not fall out when it is stuffed in!

"Find a few cotton clothes to wrap the shells around me, and get it inside!" Zhang Mingyuan already had an idea, he couldn't imagine that the cannon could shoot at this elevation angle, but since Mr. put forward this idea, he could play it to his heart's content!

I've never done this before, but you have a first time for everything, right?

How do you know if it works if you don't try?

"Oh, little ghost, talent!" Xiao Chen was overjoyed when he saw this, patted Zhang Mingyuan on the shoulder and praised it, just said this method, even such a smart boss as you couldn't think of it for a while, sure enough, your kid is professional.

The shell was wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth, which would not affect the launch, but it would affect the accuracy, so the first shot was fired, and it was also very far away from the small dirt slope, Lin Feixiong, Xu Zhisheng and others saw too much deviation in the telescope, and grinned together, shouting pity.

But after three adjustments and test firing, the fourth cannon accurately landed on the catapult position, and a catapult was directly bombarded into a parts state!

With the design of Zhu Yuan, it is easy to do, Zhang Mingyuan immediately ordered all the cannons under the city to be raised, and directly gave me a few rounds of carpet bombardment, and quickly withdrew after the bombing, so as not to affect the brothers' defense of the city.

After several rounds of shelling, the catapult position that the Langya army had built with great difficulty had been completely destroyed, and more than 20 catapults were all set on fire and burned, and none of them were spared.

These two bizarre shellings were later written into the textbooks of the Yanyun University Hall Military Academy, and Zhang Mingyuan also became a legendary figure in the artillery and even the entire Yanyun Army.

As for Xiao Chen, who first proposed this idea, he was directly ignored and didn't mention it......
