Chapter 853: The Beginning: Artillery Battle
When he saw one of the right arms raised by Wolf Qing in the air, he swung it down heavily.
Ye Hao, that is, the 230-pound shadow rider, looks a little strong, but in fact, there are some chubby novice rookies.
He immediately covered his left ear with his left hand and held a burning pine oil torch in his right hand.
Towards the position of the fire door on a two-thousand-pound cannon in front of him, a section of the fuse was exposed.
In this way, there is naturally no way to cover the right ear, but fortunately, a small ball of rags is also used to plug it in advance, so as not to be directly deafened by the loud cannon sound.
As for why the left ear was not blocked, it was because he still had one ear to listen to Wolf Qing's orders.
This is not! Soon after, in a loud noise, even if I covered my ears, it was still extremely loud; Even the gun carriage, whose wooden wheels were cushioned by sandbags, immediately bounced up and took a big step back.
It wasn't until a few ropes and vines were taut that they were completely pulled and stopped.
At the same time, in the loud sound of the cannon, the shadow rider who blocked his ears also felt that there was some 'buzzing' in his brain.
Special! He had expected that this thing would be louder after the cannon was fired, but he definitely didn't expect it to sound like this.
It's just that at such a time, he doesn't care about such a point at all.
The reason for the concern is whether this six-pound iron stone that was fired out can hit the Yin artillerymen below, attract the attention of more Yin artillery, and relieve Hu Biao's pressure.
Because after their reconnaissance and statistics in the past few days, the Yin army has a total of eighty-three artillery pieces at the foot of the mountain.
The largest diameter is 32 pounds, and the smallest is 6 pounds.
Originally, all of them were aimed at Panlonggang in unison, as long as the people on the mountain planned to approach, they would kill them with muskets with a longer range.
Immediately, several artillery pieces will be beckoned to come and cover with fire.
This is also why, Hu Biao and the others are obviously only thirty or forty people short of the kill data, but until today, it is the biggest reason why there is no way to unlock the space equipment.
These bandits are bad enough, but they're not stupid at all.
And today, because more than 100,000 people in the Yangcheng area have surrounded the Yin army to the death.
In fear in their hearts, they turned the muzzles of sixty cannons and aimed them at the people; The remaining twenty-three gates continued to be aimed at the hill.
The existence of these artillery pieces is a huge threat to Hu Biao and others, who have already begun to act, and to those ordinary people.
Therefore, those of them who remained on the battery needed to destroy and attract their firepower as much as possible......
******
In the eyes of Shadow Rider and the others, who were extremely expectant, a six-pound iron ball drew an arc in the air and smashed towards an artillery position in the direction of two o'clock.
It's a pity that at a distance of seventeen or eighteen meters from the position, this piece of iron ball fell to the ground.
After smashing a burst of mud and sand, it bounced forward and rolled forward for a distance, and finally stopped completely, not even a single hair of the Yin Army was injured.
Even if he knew that this shot was a test firing, the greater effect was to let Wolf Qing understand the trajectory of these artillery.
For a while, for such a result, Shadow Rider was still a little disappointed in his heart.
Mainly under this cannon, the Yin Army artillery below was immediately alarmed, and they no longer paid attention to Hu Biao and others who rushed down; At present, the cannon muzzle is frantically adjusted, and it is believed that soon, a large number of flowering shells will be beckoned to the battery.
In short, time is running out for them.
Just when the Shadow Rider failed to hit the target with this cannon, he was a little disappointed in his heart.
The soles of one of his feet had already kicked over, and after kicking him to a stumbling position, he cursed in his mouth: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and continue to reload. ”
After scolding, Wolf Qing had already fled a few meters away, adjusting another already loaded cannon there.
It's not that Wolf Qing is short-tempered, but he can't care so much at this moment.
After hearing such a sentence, not only the shadow rider, but also the two novice village rookies of Hanjiang and Shouzheng Daoren, who were in charge of an artillery cannon with him, also reacted, now is not a good time to be in a daze.
Immediately, Han Jiang took a water-stained bristle brush and hurriedly stabbed it into the chamber.
Immediately, in the sound of 'Bang La~', a white smoke rose at the same time, and Han Jiang, who was burned to his hand, also had his mouth crooked.
The main thing is that this modern plane profession is actually a rookie who specializes in sending errand boys, but I didn't expect this thing to be a shot, it's so hot.
If you are not careful, you will unfortunately be hit.
And after Han Jiang pulled the brush out of his hand.
Ignoring the burning of the back of his hand, he replaced the brush on his hand with a stick tied with a cloth at one end.
For the righteous keeper had already taken a bag of gunpowder wrapped in silk, and about three pounds of gunpowder was stuffed into the muzzle; He was needed to go down with a stick, poke the gunpowder bag to the bottom, and tighten it.
After the righteous keeper stuffed a solid cannonball into the muzzle, the shadow rider went down with another stick and tightened the cannonball.
In this process, Shadow Rider was not idle.
An awl was used to poke through the fire door, and after piercing the silk powder pack, a fuse was installed inside.
The three generals finished loading, and Wolf Qing also completed the adjustment of the other three cannons, under one of his gestures.
The fuses on the three guns were immediately ignited.
A second or two later, amid the louder cannon fire, the three of them, including the Shadow Rider, who didn't have time to cover one ear, were buzzing again with the sound.
Fortunately, this time the three shells beckoned to the same artillery position.
Although there was one more shot that grazed the edge of the position and flew away, two still hit the target.
One of the iron bullets directly hit the chest and abdomen of a Yin soldier who was guarding with a musket, and the astonishing impact immediately smashed into a huge blood mist.
Later, the remaining shells continued to move forward, and they smashed two more people before stopping.
The other shot smashed into a 12-pounder gun of the Yin Army with extraordinary accuracy, and immediately lifted the cannon off the sports car and smashed over several people who were busy working around them.
Seeing this, Shadowrider immediately burst into cheers.
It's just that the next second later, the wolf shouted 'lie down' in his mouth, and at the same time grabbed Yu Hong next to him and fell to the ground.
It was the other twenty-two guns of the Yin Army, and the artillery on this side also fired one after another in a very short interval of time.
The ability of these Yin people artillery to calculate the trajectory is naturally not comparable to that of Wolf Qing; But they couldn't stop the more shells they called, and the key exploded after hitting the ground.
In the voice of the wolf green's reminder, the instinct was the shadow rider who was lying on the ground and hugged the head case.
In the blink of an eye, a dense explosion was heard, and there were three or four flowering shells among them, and they even fell very close to them.
In the explosion, a large amount of mud and sand was lifted, and it hit them on their heads and faces, like a painful one.
A few seconds later, the shadow rider who felt like he had been kicked heard another sentence from the wolf: "Are you dead?" Those who are not dead quickly get up and shoot. ”
"Special! The donkey of the production team will not be used to death like this. ”
After saying this, Shadowrider quickly climbed up from the ground.
Then, after inadvertently seeing the wolf green who had just rushed over and was slapping the fire around him, he was immediately frightened.
Immediately, he couldn't help but ask in his mouth: "Brother, are you okay?" ”
"I was hit by a flying stone and a hole in my forehead, a trivial matter, and I can't die."
After lifting the dirty sleeves and wiping a handful of blood that flowed into his eyes, Wolf Qing said this sentence lightly.
It can be regarded as letting these rookies clearly realize how dangerous this artillery battle will be.
Ten seconds later, the cannon rang out again, and after a lump of iron balls beckoned out, it smashed into an artillery position......
