Chapter 411: Fire Coverage! The Waratians panicked!
"By the way, don't have gunpowder reserves in the Italian army."
Zhu Gaoxian continued to command:
"The Tatar kings have been wiped out, and we have cleaned up a lot of tribes large and small, and this supply line in the rear is still unimpeded for the time being, even if all the gunpowder reserves are consumed today, it will be replenished in a few days."
"Let the artillery soldiers let me go and fight!"
"Until it's over! Even if the cannon is broken, it doesn't matter, as long as it is fought well, I will give the artillery battalion a great credit! ”
Su Wu received the order, and then turned around and went down to convey Zhu Gaoxian's order.
And after Zhu Gaoxian looked at the situation in the distance for a while, he began to think secretly in his heart again.
The Warats could not be their opponents, as long as they defeated the army that came from the south and wanted to outflank them, and then broke through the city in front of them, even if they were cunning as foxes and wolves first, they could only obediently flee westward.
Even with the support of the Taiping and Polo Ministries, after suffering heavy losses along the way, unless they are forcibly suppressed, they may not be able to suppress these people.
At that time, where will Yiyexian's character run......
When Zhu Gaoxian thought of this, he suddenly remembered that his second brother who failed to rebel was still staying in the northwest!
Although he didn't ask for his life at that time, Zhu Gaoxian was never a good man, and Liu Rong, the Marquis of Guangning in the northwest, had already obtained his secret order and had been closely monitoring the Han King Zhu Rongxi.
And according to Jinyiwei's secret report, Zhu Luxi was really not idle, and in that desolate place, he was eyebrow-raising with the Tatars and Warats, hooking up with each other, and thinking about gathering troops and horses to return to Beijing......
This time Zhu Gaoxian went out to Mobei, and the Tatars sent a lot of horses and men to the Han King Zhu Rongxi, wanting him to join forces to attack the Ming Dynasty, but because Liu Rong, the Marquis of Guangning, had already been reminded by Zhu Gaoxian that Chen soldiers were at the border, so his second brother could not get any benefits, and was blocked outside the Ming Dynasty.
"Heh," Zhu Gaoxian thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, he was a little disdainful of King Han, you have failed to rebel, it stands to reason that it is a dead end, if it weren't for the old man's face, spare your life, you would have been reincarnated by now......
It's good to survive, there's nothing bad about staying in the northwest, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if it can't be as fine as in the past, at least it's okay to have food and clothing, and life is comfortable, why bother thinking about rebelling again all day long? Also colluded with these Cypriot Tartars.
Well, now that the old man is seriously ill and dying, and he is about to Bintian, I will send you, an unscrupulous descendant, down by the way, and serve the old man on the Huangquan Road......
After Zhu Gaoxian made a decision, he threw away these distracting thoughts, raised the binoculars, and began to look ahead intently.
……
An hour later.
After receiving Zhu Gaoxian's order, the artillery battalion directly let go of its hands and feet, and the twenty breech cannons had already been fixed on the position, and they used observation sights to aim at Helincheng in the distance.
As the battalion general waved the flag in his hand, the artillery soldiers who plugged their ears with cotton suddenly launched an artillery bombardment excitedly!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Twenty breech guns were launched at the same time, and the sound continued to come like muffled thunder, and the flames were splashing everywhere!
Special siege bombs filled with a large amount of gunpowder whined and whistled towards the walls of the Warats!
They were also in the city of Helin first, but they did not go up to the city wall, but stayed in the city, discussing how to attract the Ming army in front of them next.
As he was talking, suddenly there was a shock! Even the strongest council chamber in the city began to shake.
At the same time, it was accompanied by a deafening sound of thunder, resounding throughout the city!
Totobuhua jumped up directly from the chair, his face full of panic, and he was so frightened that he almost ran away:
"What's going on? What's going on? ”
"Did the earth dragon turn over? Or is it the wrath of the Immortal Heavens? ”
A large number of guards also poured in, surrounded the two of them, and carried them all the way to the open space, but all the faces of the people were full of panic and fear.
There is no way, according to Zhu Gaoxian's idea to create these twenty breech cannons, although because of the level of craftsmanship, the wall of the cannon body has been reduced a lot, but due to the assistance of the sight, the accuracy of the hit is greatly increased, and at the same time, with the carefully developed particle gunpowder, the power is much greater than the simple use of black powder!
Although it is not as good as the general cannon of later generations, in this era, it is more than enough to attack cities and plunder land.
Twenty guns rang out in unison, the sound was like thunderbolts, and the walls of Warat were subjected to the most horrific bombardment ever!
For a while, the Warat soldiers who were still guarding the city wall were almost killed by this round of artillery fire!
And where the cannon hit, a big crater also appeared in an instant!
This is the great power of the breech cannon plus sights, combined with the granule gunpowder reload!
was also surrounded by the servants to the open space, and only came back to his senses when he got the news, this sound was actually caused by the Ming military artillery......
"Impossible," he muttered to himself, his heart full of shock:
"The Ming army's artillery cannon, how could it be so powerful! The range is still so far? ”
He had just climbed the city wall before, and the Ming army was still a long way away from the city, what kind of cannon could hit so far?
He came to the inner side of the city wall in a panic, hid behind the protective wall and stretched out his head to look at it a few times, and suddenly his whole body was numb!
Good fellow, not only did the soldiers of Warat die in a terrible state of blood, but even the city walls, which originally looked very strong, were bombarded with potholes and craters everywhere.
"It's over......"
He also closed his eyes painfully, and his tone was extremely sad:
"The Ming army has such a powerful cannon, this city is finished!"
"What else can I do to hold them back......"
At this moment, the second round of shooting of the artillery battalion began again, and when he heard the dull whistling sound, he was so frightened that his legs almost weakened, and he was run down from the inside of the city wall from his back to his back.
Then the walls were once again covered in fierce artillery!
Many of the Warat soldiers had just escaped from the low walls where they were hiding, ready to treat the wounded, when they were hit hard again.
For a while, on the entire city wall, there were almost many flowers, flesh and blood flying, and screams again and again!
In just two rounds of shelling, although they actually caused the loss of hundreds of Warat soldiers at most, it was an extremely serious blow to the morale of the Warat people, and they were all completely shocked!
also panicked on the back of the servant, and shouted repeatedly:
"Run, run, run as far as possible!"
