On the mountain, Yan Zha led a group of subordinates to patrol everywhere, showing off his majesty, and suddenly, Yan Zha heard a cannon sound from the Ming army's position, and then the cannonballs roared.

"The Ming army has fired!"

Yan Zha instantly lost his majesty just now, and hurriedly fell behind a low wall, and all the soldiers of the Han army, the Korean army, and the Manchu army on the surrounding wall were also in chaos and took refuge one after another.

But he heard the cannonball screaming, and it crossed the wall of the mountain and went downhill behind the ridge.

Then there was a bang, and the cannon struck a mound of earth at the bottom of the slope, stirring up a large area of earth, and finally rolled down the slope, and stopped in front of a stone house.

At the back of this mountain, rows of stone houses and wooden houses were also built, as a place where the defenders could hide their troops, most of which were occupied by Yan Zha's subordinates, and there were many residences for the followers.

Seeing that the cannon did not cause any casualties, the surrounding Qing soldiers suddenly let out a burst of cheers, and Jialazhang Jingyanzha also laughed wildly.

At this moment, the artillery array of the Ming army adjusted the angle of the artillery again, and aimed more accurately at the position of the Qing army in Loess Ridge.

With a sharp swan sound, the first wave of artillery in the Ming artillery array let out a deafening roar, and thick white smoke erupted in large streams, covering the artillery positions in front.

Such a loud noise frightened the Qing soldiers on the mountain, and even the Ming army in the rear was in a big commotion.

Hong Chengchou, Zhang Ruoqi, Ma Shaoyu and others felt the power of artillery up close, and their hearts beat violently. These artillery pieces were assembled from various departments of the Ming army, and most of them were artillery pieces from the Supervisory Battalion and various places in Liaodong, most of which were large and small red-coated cannons, and their power should not be underestimated.

At this time, the Qing army at the wall of Niangniang Temple and other walls could no longer laugh, looking at the countless huge cannonballs coming towards them, they suddenly scattered and dodged with a bang.

A large iron ball weighing more than ten catties roared and smashed on a wall. This walled wall is a stone wall, but it is only made of stones, and it is not comparable to the hardness of the city wall. With a loud bang, the stone wall collapsed with a bang, and several Korean soldiers hiding here were buried in one fell swoop.

Before the North Korean soldiers could make a sound, they were stoned to death by falling stones, and the blood and smashed corpses were so dazzling that the surrounding Qing soldiers screamed and avoided when they saw it.

Jialazhang Jingyanzha quickly ran towards the pier, these stone walls and earth walls are too unsafe, and it is better in the pier. Those Niu Lu Zhangjing, as well as a group of horse armor soldiers, also wanted to hide in the pier platform as soon as possible to avoid the artillery fire of the Ming army.

The sharp and piercing whistling sound kept coming, Yan Zai couldn't judge the landing point of the cannon, and in a loud rumbling sound, the stone wall behind Yan Zha suddenly exploded, and a big iron ball of more than 20 catties broke through the wall with a momentum that swept everything. Countless pieces of rubble were driven by the cannons, shooting like scattered bullets in all directions.

I saw that the soldiers with white flags behind Yan Zha and the others were hit hard, and streams of blood mist erupted from everyone's bodies. Even if they were all well armoured, they could not resist such a stone blow, and as many as six or seven were killed on the spot.

Rumble!

The big iron ball of more than 20 catties blasted the stone wall, and the strong impact made the stone wall into a flying stone. Many people were not hit by the gravel, but were also hit by large stones, like sacks, falling out in different positions, spurting blood from their mouths, and breaking bones loudly.

Jialazhang Jingyanzha fell to the ground, and a bloody human head was placed in front of him, and the helmet of the human head fell, revealing the slender pigtail of the money rat tail at the back of his head, and his eyes were wide open, full of fear and incredulity.

Yan Zha felt that this head was a little familiar, and if he thought about it carefully, wasn't he the horse armor soldier who was famous for his bravery?

There was an arm across the head of the beggar, and I don't know whose it was. Suddenly, Yan Zha felt that something was wrong on the helmet, reached out and pulled out, pulling out a large number of large intestines and small intestines, whose is it?

Jia Lazhang Jing Yan Zha has been in battle for a long time, and he does not feel afraid when he looks at the human head and intestines on the ground, but Yan Zha suddenly feels a sharp pain under him, and when he looks back, he is really bloody under him, and he suddenly let out a wail.

At this moment, I heard the sharp sound of swans coming from the Ming army's position, and Jia Lazhang Jingyan was a spirit, and at this time, he didn't care about the pain, he tried his best to jump up quickly, and limped towards the pier, but the flow of people behind him was much less than before.

As soon as Yan Zha and the others returned to the pier, they heard the deafening sound of cannons outside, and another cannonball whistled in, and the sound of thunderbolts was endless. The big iron balls that shot constantly smashed into the stone and earthen walls of the defensive line. The rumbling sound of collapse continued, and the wall near the pier platform of Niangniang Temple was also constantly hit. Screams, screams, the Qing soldiers were in chaos, and they didn't know what to do.

Especially those soldiers of the Han Army and the Goryeo Army, they were not attacked by artillery many times, they had no experience in dodging shells at all, and their own will to fight was poor, so they were completely confused at this time.

Jialazhang Jingyanzha was in shock, he took refuge in a safe place in the pier, and felt that there were large iron bullets constantly bombarding his pier. With a bang, the entire pier seemed to shake violently, and the rubble and thick dust kept falling and clanging on his helmet, and he didn't even care about his own injuries.

Fortunately, the pier built by the Ming people was extremely strong, and the bombardment of the cannonballs did not collapse the pier for the time being. Yan Zha exhaled, and only then did he notice the appearance of the people around him, all of them were gray-headed, and many of them were drenched in blood, and they didn't know where they were hit.

Especially Niu Lu Zhang Jing Ning Erjia, his left arm was empty, and Bai Sensen's bones were exposed at the broken point, and there were still some remnants of red flesh on it.

Ning Erjia couldn't stop shivering in pain, he covered his broken arm, and big drops of cold sweat fell down his forehead, it turned out that the arm just now was his.

Everyone in the pier was stunned, including the Han army Jia Lazhangjing and the leaders of the Korean army, who had stayed in the platform and did not go out. The fierce artillery fire of the Ming army blinded them all of a sudden, and they followed the gaze of Jialazhang Jingyanzha, and only then did they notice the appearance of Niu Luzhang Jingningerjia.

"Lord Ning Erjia is injured, quickly bandage him!"

"Lord Jiala's buttocks are injured, stop the bleeding!"

Just when there was a panic in the pier, on the Ming artillery array, the busy gunners immediately cleaned the barrel with wet wool sticks after the artillery was fired everywhere.

After the chamber is cleaned, the loader fills in a new cartridge while a gunner's thumb is pressed against the fire door to prevent the backflow from igniting the uncleaned embers. Iron bullets were then sent in to compact, and new powder ropes were installed at the fire door, ready to be aimed and fired.

In the sharp sound of swans, the Ming artillery position emitted a deafening artillery sound, thick smoke was thick, and large and heavy iron bullets whistled out and rushed towards the Qing army's position.

Most of the artillery of this wave of Ming army used groups, one for each large bullet, accompanied by more than a dozen small bullets, and the momentum was even greater. The shells whistled in, smashing their heads and faces in front of and behind the Qing army's defense line, and Yan Zha heard the sound of the soil and rocks collapsing, as well as the screams and screams of many Qing soldiers in the defense line.

There was a loud bang, and a walled building was directly hit by a Ming artillery shell. This walled building civil structure, there is a walled gate below, and some personnel can guard it above, this kind of walled building, the shooting of the protective bird gun and bow and arrow is no problem, but under the bombardment of several catties, or even more than a dozen catties of shells, the huge wood and stone structure collapsed instantly.

The Qing army above, and the Qing army hiding below, were all trapped in the mound of earth and stones, and were all buried alive.

Rumble!

A large iron ball broke through a wall of earth, and in the dust, a large stream of blood mist was sandwiched, and a Qing soldier was beaten to pieces of flesh on the spot, and some broken limbs flew around with the dirt.

Several others fell to the ground, all of them grizzled and covered in dirt and flesh. The lower half of a Han soldier's body was broken, and he fell far away outside the wall, but he did not die for a while. He crawled on the ground in agony, as if he had been cut in the waist, and let out heart-rending wails, and his companions were all horrified and fled in terror.

Rumble!

Large and small shells were constantly rampant on the Qing army's positions, and some shells landed in the low wall of the trench in front of the main wall, and after a few jumps, they remained motionless.

Some of them crossed the wall and fired at the stone houses and wooden tents behind the ridge, knocking down some of the stone houses and wooden houses, and inflicting heavy casualties on the auxiliary soldiers there. Some unlucky people were rolled in the shell belt without breaking their hands and feet, desperately screaming for help to the people around them, but no one paid attention.

At this time, Jialazhang Jingyanzha looked out from the arrow window of the pier, and saw that the defense line he was defending had been in a mess, the earthen walls and stone walls in many places had collapsed, and even a few artillery pieces had been hit, and at this time it had become a pile of scrap metal.

And the soldiers under Yan Zha's command, whether they are Manchurian soldiers, Han troops, or Korean troops, are all collapsed at this time, or their eyes are dull and frightened, or they flee in panic, and they have long lost their original deployment.

In addition, the wounded soldiers wailed one after another, looking at this scene, Yan Zha's face couldn't help but tremble, and his heart had long lost his previous fighting spirit.

The artillery of the Ming army continued one after another, and after a long time, the whistling sound of the Ming artillery shells turned from dense to thin, and finally the sound of shelling slowly stopped.

Although there is little cooling time for artillery rotation, it is inevitable that it will stop and cool down completely after about half an hour, otherwise there will be a danger of exploding.

When the smoke slowly dissipated, the generals of the Ming army and the Qing army hurriedly took out their clairvoyant mirrors to observe carefully.

And the various departments of the Ming army cheered.

Hong Chengchou and the others also had a clairplane, and after they looked at it for a while, they all had a smile on their faces, and they were a little more sure of winning this battle in their hearts.

Liu Yan also held the clairvoyant mirror and watched for a long time, with a smile on his face, and said to Miao Shao and Qian Qiao beside him: "It seems that the artillery firepower of the Ming army is very good, and there are still many excellent gunners in the Ming army. ”

Qian Yan said unconvinced: "Hmph, if you let the subordinate artillery battalions bombard, this round of artillery bombardment will definitely be more fruitful, and maybe you can beat the Qing army forward to collapse!" ”

Liu Yan smiled and nodded, but he still understood in his heart that although the artillery battalion of the new army in Qinglai Town was excellent, and the artillery equipped was better than that of most of the Ming army, the artillery battalion did not have heavy artillery like the red-coat cannon, and in terms of range and power, it was still inferior to the hundreds of artillery pieces that Hong Chengchou had assembled.

"The combat power of our artillery battalion is definitely stronger than the rest of the departments, but our army lacks heavy artillery, which must be written down, and after the triumphant return, this matter must be put on the agenda, and the firearms supervision department will begin to develop heavy artillery to comprehensively improve the firepower of the artillery battalion."

Qian Yan was overjoyed when he heard this.

Some people died, but not completely......
