Chapter 736: Volley

The movements of the Ming army naturally could not be concealed from the Qing army located in a high place.

At the highest point of the Black Sand Ridge, a huge platform was erected, and around the platform were dense barracks tents, and flags with blue borders on a red background fluttered outside the trench.

Next to the platform, a huge gold-woven dragon was erected, and below the dragon, Du Du, who had not calmed down from the joy of shelling the Ming army just now, put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and his face was very gloomy.

He handed the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to Tong Yangxing beside him and said, "Take a look, can the artillery of your artillery battalion hit there?" ”

Tong Yangxing took the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it carefully for a while before shaking his head: "Lord Belle, the artillery position of the Ming army is three miles away from us, and our artillery can't hit there." ”

"What...... Can't hit? ”

Du Du's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Tong Yangxing, don't bully me for not knowing firearms. The same artillery, and we are still condescending on the top of the mountain, it stands to reason that the range should be farther than theirs, and now you actually tell me that you can't beat them, what the hell is your firearms battalion for? ”

Tong Yangxing's face turned a little red, and he argued: "Lord Belle, you don't know, although we are also imitation of the Ming army's artillery, but our craftsmen's skills are not as good as people, the imitation artillery not only has a thicker barrel than them, but also uses less medicine than the Ming army, so it is naturally closer than them, what is the use of you blaming me here?"

If you want to compare the range with the artillery of the Ming army, you can only move our Hongyi cannon over. ”

The Hongyi cannon of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is also an imitation of the Ming artillery, but this Hongyi cannon often weighs thousands of catties, and in the era of underdeveloped transportation, the difficulty of carrying this kind of thing up the mountain is absolutely hellish.

"You ......"

Du Du raised the leather whip in his hand in a fit of anger and was about to pull it over, but when he saw Tong Yangxing standing in front of him sneering, he could only forcibly suppress his anger.

You must know that Tong Yangxing is not a slave under him, since he was ordered by Huang Taiji to take charge of the firearms battalion, the status of the Han Army Banner has obviously improved a lot, almost the same as the Mongolian Eight Banners, and Tong Yangxing has always been valued by Huang Taiji, if he really whipped him because of this, if he complained to Huang Taiji after the war, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around.

"Humph!"

With a breath of turbidity, Du Du lowered his hand and was about to say something, when he heard a dull roar coming from the bottom of the mountain.

"Fire!"

On the Ming army's position, as Qiu Disheng's voice fell, a gunner pulled the cannon rope.

With a loud bang, a large area of thick gunsmoke erupted from the thick muzzle of the bowl, and the cannon body shook violently, and a huge black iron bullet rushed out of the barrel and flew towards the position of the Qing army in Heishaling in the distance.

"The Ming army has opened fire!"

With Tong Yang's sharp scream, Du Du, who was originally standing on the stage, immediately jumped down from the high platform.

Tong Yangxing didn't care about anything else, pulled Du Du and quickly hid behind the stone wall next to the high platform, and pressed his body tightly against the wall.

I only heard the cannonball whizzing by, over the stone wall and towards the slope behind.

Then only a loud bang was heard, and the thick projectile shot at a mound of earth at the bottom of the slope, stirring up a large amount of earth, and finally rolled down the slope and came to a stop in a trench.

This shell did not cause any losses to the Qing army, except for stirring up a pile of dust.

Seeing such a situation, the Qing army on the Black Sand Ridge let out a cheer.

Even Du Du couldn't help but pat Tong Yangxing's shoulder and praised: "Your trenches are well dug, with these stone walls and trenches, the artillery of the Ming army will no longer pose any threat to us!" ”

The Qing army and the Mongol soldiers on the Black Sand Ridge were even more smiling, as if what had been worrying them for a long time had finally disappeared.

Just as the Qing army was celebrating this event, Qiu Disheng at the bottom of the hill asked the gunners to readjust the angle, only to see him wave the red flag in his hand, and the trumpeter next to him blew the sharp whistle in his mouth almost at the same time.

As the sharp whistle sounded, more than 100 re-angled guns on the artillery position let out a deafening roar, and thick white smoke erupted from the muzzles, and the thick white eyes soon covered the artillery positions in front.

The movement made by the salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces is not idle, the huge roar even the war horses several miles away from them were frightened, and even the Ming army in the rear caused a commotion, Sun Chengzong and a large group of Liaodong generals were less than five hundred meters away from the artillery, after hearing the salvo of artillery, many people's hearts beat violently, the artillery of the Jiangning army actually had such a might.

Wu Sangui quietly asked Zu Dashou on the side, with a trace of incomprehension and fear in his voice, "Uncle, it stands to reason that we don't have the artillery of the Jiangning Army, why does it sound so powerful today, and the artillery we hear on weekdays doesn't seem to be the same." ”

Zu Dashou forcibly pressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said in a low voice: "The artillery medicine and projectiles are all silver, and it is rare for the gunners to shoot live ammunition once in a year and a half.

Even if it is an all-army exercise, we can use seven or eight artillery pieces to shoot at best on weekdays, and the power naturally cannot be compared with the salvo of hundreds of artillery pieces like the Jiangning Army. ”

Wu Sangui pouted helplessly, this kind of guy who can train soldiers and is a local tyrant is the most annoying.

As the two of them spoke, the Qing army on the Black Sand Ridge looked at the countless projectiles rushing towards them in mid-air, and the smiles on their faces that were still laughing at the Ming army just now instantly stiffened.

"Get out of the ......"

I don't know who screamed.

A twelve-pound iron ball slammed into a stone wall with a whistling sound.

This stone wall was temporarily erected by Tong Yang and his people these days, and it was built with pieces of improvised stones, and the hardness naturally could not be compared with the city gun.

With a loud bang, the one-foot-thick stone wall collapsed, crushing the few Mongol soldiers hiding behind it under the stones.

The Mongol soldiers, who were either squatting or standing, had no time to dodge before they were buried under all kinds of stones of different sizes, and several Mongol soldiers were crushed into various shapes before they could make a miserable cry, and soon blood and crushed limbs flowed out of the pile of stones.

This phenomenon is not unique, as solid bullets continue to fall, and stone walls continue to be hit. The stone wall built up temporarily could not stop the projectiles with strong kinetic energy at all, and the Qing army hiding behind the stone wall was beaten to the ground.

"Lord Belle, go, don't be here, quickly hide in the trench!"

Tong Yang was still alert, and after seeing that the defensive effect of the stone wall was not as good as he imagined, he immediately pulled Du Du and jumped into the trench on the side.
