Chapter 412: One Bombardment Kills Warat Khan!

According to Zhu Gaoxian's order, the artillery battalion fought with a spirit of twelve points, and the breech guns were directly aimed at the Helin city of the Warat people, firing 5 siege shells in a row and 20 breech cannons fired together, that is, a full 100 shells!

Under such a ferocious and continuous artillery cover, the army of Warat, from top to bottom, was completely stunned.

What's the situation?

Where did the Ming army get such fierce artillery? This is more powerful than the firearms in the Warat army, I don't know how many times!

And because Zhu Gaoxian added sights to the artillery, coupled with the strict teaching of the artillerymen by the students of the Academy of Literature, these breech cannons hit the head very well, and after a few shots, not only the Wara defenders suffered heavy casualties, but even the city walls were bombarded with big craters everywhere.

A few shells were aimed directly at the city gate, almost knocking down the city wall above the city gate!

After five consecutive shots, the artillery battalion stopped temporarily, and the artillerymen and logistics auxiliaries hurriedly began to water the gun body to cool down, and at the same time picked up the bristle brush and began to clean the already somewhat clogged gun barrel, ready to start the next round of shooting.

After all, now the Ming Dynasty's technology is not mature, these breech guns are only test products, a little careless, it will be blown up and injured, if not in accordance with the requirements of the artillery manual to operate strictly, then these guns will be basically abolished.

"The artillery camp is still good."

After Zhu Gaoxian used the binoculars to check the results of the strike caused by the artillery battalion just now, he was in a pretty good mood, and said to Su Wu on the side:

"I look at these 100 shells, and the basic landing points are quite accurate, and there are not too many deviations, which shows that we have still put a lot of effort into observing and calculating the trajectory, and we should be rewarded."

Su Wu also saw this extremely amazing scene, and he admired his own highness even more in his heart, and those students of the Academy of Literature, after learning those mathematics and other miscellaneous studies, were secretly sent to the Ministry of Industry, responsible for teaching the development and use of artillery.

At that time, he and Xia Yuanji also discussed this, and felt that it was not necessary, but they knew that Zhu Gaoxian would never be untargeted, so they didn't say anything more about it, but in their hearts they still thought that it should be a superfluous move......

After all, the Ming Dynasty itself has always had artillery, but the power and range are very unsatisfactory, and sometimes it is impossible to deter the enemy, so it is impossible to say that it is necessary to blow up the chamber first and cause casualties on its side.

However, when he saw the powerful and ferocious artillery strike in front of him, Su Wu was shocked!

It's only twenty pieces of artillery, and it has caused so much damage to the tall and sturdy city wall on the opposite side!

"Twenty gates?"

Zhu Gaoxian turned his head and glanced at him, his face was full of hatred and hatred:

"What are you thinking? These 20 breech guns are already considered to have been built by me with all the best efforts of the Ministry of Engineering, and it is impossible to have one more. ”

"And these cannons have not yet undergone complete test firing adjustment and acceptance, and I have all pulled them out for experiments, and those little guys don't know how to mumble about me in their hearts."

Su Wu was stunned for a moment, just these twenty gates? Do your best? That's gone?

He was stunned for a while, and then said with some excitement:

"Your Highness, this is an artifact! How can twenty doors be enough? I think 200 guns are less! ”

"Let the Ministry of Industry hurry up and do it again, let's find a way to do it quickly, with this thing, what forces can be our opponents in the future?"

Seeing that Su Wu was so excited, Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help but sigh slightly, do you think I don't want to get a few more breech guns out?

I really can't get it, the materials and manufacturing process of this thing are extremely strict, even if the best copper material is used, the craftsmen with the highest craftsmanship, and those students who have achieved academic success, the manufacturing progress is very slow, and it is about to explode at every turn......

Moreover, the manufacture of ammunition equipped with it is also quite troublesome, and it is extremely prone to accidents, and many craftsmen have been injured, and the students of the Academy of Literature who were sent there have already injured several people......

He shook his head, stopped thinking about the questions, raised his binoculars again, and continued to look at the city in the distance.

"Let the artillery battalion continue to finish the remaining base ammunition after the rest is completed."

"Swap the shells for shotshots."

"Tell the observer, this time, the barrage Xu Jin!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhu Gaoxian's mouth, and the barrage Xu Jin plus scattered bullets, I want to see if your Warat army can withstand this wave of artillery attacks!

……

When he was first carried on the back by his subordinates, fled all the way to the west side of the city, and hid in the rear army far from the front wall, he barely pressed his panicked heart and began to regain his spirit.

"Quick, send more men and horses, and re-replenish the guards on the city wall!"

When he came to his senses, the first thing he did was to give a loud order, so that the reserve army should immediately fill the walls.

In Yexian's opinion, since the Ming army has such powerful artillery, it will definitely send a large army to attack the city after this kind of firepower.

At this time, on the wall of the city wall of Helin, the defenders of Wara had already died and wounded, and the rest of them also fled in a panic under the artillery bombardment, and they didn't care about any defense at all.

If the Ming army takes the opportunity to attack the city at this time, then everything will be over! also had the original wishful thinking, and the dream of encircling the Ming army will also be completely shattered!

Maybe by then, I'll die first......

Therefore, after discovering that the artillery of the Ming army had stopped and there was no longer a roar, he did not hesitate to issue an order directly, and let the cronies and followers around him act as the overseers to forcibly coerce the panicked defenders who fled backwards.

"Don't be afraid, the artillery of the Ming army has run out, and it is impossible for them to have such artillery to bombard, all of them will return to the city wall for me! Get back to defend the city! Otherwise, you won't be killed! ”

As Ye Xian waved the long knife in his hand and continued to roar, coupled with the cronies and subordinates drawing their knives and cutting down dozens of soldiers who fled backwards, the originally panicked Warat defenders finally calmed down a little and began to reorganize their ranks.

And just after these Warat soldiers were re-sent to the city wall and began to cover their noses and clean up the corpses of those unlucky ghosts, they suddenly got a big bad news here!

"What?"

"What did you say?"

also dragged the guards who came to report the news first, and his face looked extremely hideous:

"You said the Great Khan was killed by the artillery just now?"

"How is that possible!"
