"Franc machine salvo ready, lock on to the target!"

"The distance is complete!"

"Gun reloaded!"

Qian Jian stood tall in the artillery array, high-spirited, today's battle, he and the artillery battalion soldiers will face the baptism of hundreds of artillery thieves, will become the most eye-catching existence in this battle, after this battle, the new army artillery battalion will be famous in the Central Plains!

"The rocket is always ready to continue to fire a salvo, and the Tiger Zun Cannon is all on standby in the sandbag bunker!"

At the same time, on the west wall of Kaifeng City, Chen Yongfu looked at the vast army of thieves in the distance, looked at the hundreds of artillery pieces ready to fire in front of the thief array, and kept walking around nervously, loudly and angrily reprimanding the gunners on the city to check whether the artillery was ready.

On the city wall, almost all the big Buddha Lang machines and Hongyi cannons in Kaifeng City are concentrated, as long as the artillery with a range of more than two miles, they have been transferred by Chen Yongfu, and more than 100 artillery pieces have been filled at this time, and under the guidance of more than a dozen new army gunners who stayed here, they have all been aimed at distant targets.

Now the bandit battalions have been reorganized, a large number of soldiers and horses are about three miles away from the new army's formation, and the thieves' artillery battalion is about two miles.

Liu Yan had already handed over the command of the artillery battalion to Qian Zhang, and as long as Qian Yan was ready, he could open fire at any time.

Qian Jian looked at the thief artillery camp in the distance, a sneer appeared on his face, and then he raised his right hand, slashed it fiercely, and roared loudly: "Franc machine gun fire!" ”

"Put!"

Rumble!

In an instant, all the seventy-two Francophone cannons of the new army artillery battalion opened fire, and all the shells accurately landed on the position of the thief artillery battalion, and immediately swept away a large number of people and horses

I even saw that two Hongyi cannons were hit, the huge and heavy cannon body was broken, and then it was shocked to fly more than a person high, knocking down more than a dozen rogue gunners and soldiers around them, and those people couldn't survive.

Subsequently, more than 100 artillery pieces on the city wall of Kaifeng City also began to roar, although the artillery on the city wall was a little worse, but there were more than a dozen new army gunners to point out, and the level of those Ming army gunners also improved a lot, and most of the shells accurately fell in the thief artillery camp.

The rogue artillery battalion, which had not yet recovered from its senses, was hit hard again, and among the three rows of artillery in front and rear, the first two rows were even more "taken care of", several artillery pieces were directly hit, and the artillery was killed by the iron produced by the miscellaneous pieces, and all the surrounding rogue gunners and soldiers were swept down.

"Reload!"

"Put!"

Soon, the artillery battalion of the new army opened fire again, and the fierce fire continued, and there was only less than a tea time between the two rounds of salvos, and the interval between the firing of more than 100 artillery pieces in Kaifeng City was longer, but it was less than the time of a stick of incense.

Li Dingguo stood behind the artillery battalion, from the beginning of the fight to the present, his reassembled artillery battalion has been heavily damaged, the gunners have suffered many casualties, and even more than a dozen artillery pieces have been destroyed.

At this time, Li Dingguo was very remorseful in his heart, and it was very inconvenient to command more than 400 artillery pieces, so in order to unify the command and issue orders in time, Li Dingguo ordered all the artillery to be divided into three rows, and the deployment was very compact, but he never wanted to

No, such an arrangement facilitated the bombardment of the artillery of the officers and soldiers, and caused such heavy losses to their own side.

Originally, the level of the thief gunners was very poor, and most of them were temporarily rushing ducks to the shelves, but at this time they were preempted by the official artillery, and those gunners were even more panicked, and many people began to flee for their lives, and then they were cut down to the ground by the rogue soldiers who pressed the formation.

And the remaining rogue gunners who can hold their positions are also busy making mistakes, just now there was a Franco cannon because the gunners were nervous, was filled with double the gunpowder, and after ignition, it exploded, and the explosion also ignited the gunpowder stacked next to it, directly sending dozens of people around.

Looking at the chaos on his own artillery array, Li Dingguo was heartbroken, the time was too short, and he didn't have time to let himself beat these gunners well, otherwise with the powerful firepower of more than 400 guns, how could the officers and soldiers be majestic?

But at this time, it was too late to say anything, the artillery battalion of the new army and the artillery in Kaifeng City continued to bombard, and under the continuous attack, although the thief artillery was also struggling to fight back, it could not do a salvo at all.

It can only be that all the thief gunners are desperately reloading, and whoever is ready, there is no need to wait for the order, just open fire. As a result, although there were more than 400 artillery pieces of the thieves, the firepower they fired was scattered, and it could not form the power of firepower coverage at all.

Moreover, the thief gunners were already of inferior level, and at this time, they completed the steps of loading the artillery under the continuous fire of the officers and soldiers, and the accuracy can be imagined.

After a round of shooting, Li Dingguo saw that he was like thunder, because not many shells hit the position of the new army's artillery battalion in the distance, and most of the shells missed. And even if it hits

Hit the position of the artillery battalion of the new army, almost all the shells were stopped by the carts in front of the formation.

Li Dingguo couldn't imagine what kind of big cars they were, just with the wooden frame, plus some cloth bags or bamboo baskets full of things, they could stop the powerful cannonballs!

"What's that!"

In the army of thieves, Li Zicheng also saw this scene with a clairvoyant mirror, his face was very ugly, those shells that hit the position of the new army's artillery camp hit the cart in front of the formation, or fell on the sandbags in the formation, the originally powerful shells were instantly blocked softly, and even directly embedded in the sandbags.

The hundreds of artillery pieces that Li Zicheng had high hopes for suddenly became chicken ribs, which made Li Zicheng very annoyed: "Tell Li Dingguo that all artillery must not stop, even if it is blown up, it will continue to bombard!" Even if the fight is not accurate, even if Liu Yan prepares those anti-artillery things, with the number of more than 400 artillery pieces, it can cause huge damage to the officers and soldiers! ”

At this time, Li Zicheng was already desperate, since the accuracy was not good, since the officers and troops were prepared, then the only way to make up for the disadvantage in quality was to use the advantage in quantity.

Li Dingguo received the order, his face was very ugly, Li Zicheng regarded these artillery and gunners as one-time consumables, as long as he could win this battle, even if he sacrificed all the artillery and gunners, he would not hesitate!

At this time, Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi were next to them, and the two of them also looked solemn, the artillery in front of them had been completely suppressed, and if they continued to shoot at each other, it would not take an hour for the gunners on the artillery array to completely collapse.

"What should I do?"

Sun Kewang asked.

Li Dingguo looked back

to the boundless army of thieves behind him, and then said, "Fight! There is no advance or retreat in this battle, even if we fight out the artillery array and firearms battalion, we can't retreat! ”

Sun Kewang nodded heavily, and Ai Nengqi also clenched his hands, although the two were not optimistic about this battle, but it was indeed the only way at this time, after all, the three of them were pushed to the forefront of the confrontation by Li Zicheng, and the three of them had no way to retreat at this time, and there was no choice.

"Put!"

Qian Zhang's roar echoed in the artillery camp position, at this time, just the total number of Fu Lang machine guns and the artillery in Kaifeng City could suppress the artillery array of the thieves, so Qian Liang did not let the rocket artillery car participate in the battle.

After all, rocket artillery is good for a large number of thieves, but it is not enough to use it to fight artillery.

At this time, the 72 Franc machine guns of the new army, plus more than 100 artillery pieces on the city wall of Kaifeng City, totaled more than 200 guns, although only half of the number of thieves' artillery, but they could exert almost 100% firepower.

The more than 400 artillery pieces on the thief artillery array, after several rounds of strikes, can continue to fire at this time, and it is estimated that there are only three to forty percent of the firepower left for continuous firing.

In such a comparison, the thief side is at an absolute disadvantage in the confrontation!

"Put!"

Rumble!

Another round of salvo fire, dozens of shells whistling and smashing on the thief artillery array, this time Qian Qiao commanded the artillery battalion to aim a little, aiming at a few Hongyi cannons on the thief artillery array.

Although the skills of those rogue gunners are too poor, and the gunners of the new army can only shoot one round after three salvos, and they still shoot sporadically, but the threat of those Hongyi cannons is also real, and there was a red just now

The eight-pound cannonballs fired by the Yi cannon hit and smashed heavily on a dirt cart in front of the formation, directly smashing the dirt cart to pieces, and the heavy force even knocked all the sandbags tied to the dirt cart away.

Qian Jian saw with his own eyes that the two gunners were smashed by earthen bags, and they were immediately smashed to the head and bleeding, and fell to the ground.

In this round of salvo fire, dozens of shells accurately fell around the Hongyi cannons, and the rogue gunners who operated the artillery were directly taken away more than a dozen people, and two Hongyi cannons were hit and smashed into scrap metal on the spot.

"Haha!"

Qian Qiao, who was holding the clairvoyant mirror and saw the results of the battle, laughed loudly at this time, and shouted almost excitedly: "Compare with Lao Tzu? See how Lao Tzu shoots you! Shoot, shoot to my heart's content! ”

Rumble!

At this time, the volley rhythm of the artillery battalion of the new army became faster and faster, and in the fierce artillery battle, the effect of "knowing the heart" was even played.

The reloading of the Franc cannon is actually not complicated, and a skilled gunner can handle it even faster than loading an arquebus.

As the gunners of the new army played better and better, the firepower of the officers and soldiers became more and more fierce, and the thief artillery array was almost baptized by the artillery fire of the officers and soldiers, and it was a mess everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, the thief artillery battalion was completely muted, more than a thousand gunners and hundreds of soldiers who pressed the formation, at this time, about a third of them had died, and the rest of the people were all panicked, even if Li Dingguo's supervision team deployed behind rushed up, they could not stop those routs.

He was hacked to death with a knife, torn apart by a shell weighing several pounds

Which do you choose?

I believe that a person with a normal mind will choose the former, both horizontally and vertically, and no one wants to die without a corpse!

At this time, Li Dingguo's face was pale, and so were Ai Nengqi and Sun Kewang beside him, the two glanced at each other, and hurriedly returned to the formation, preparing to deal with the next battle.

And Li Dingguo gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately report to King Chuang: Our battalion's artillery array has been defeated, please King Chuang order the soldiers and horses to attack!" ”
