"No, my lord, our little steel cannon can't hit that far." In front of Zhu Cihong, Kong Er was a little stunned, but he still said very seriously.

It's not that the small steel cannon can't hit that far, limited to gunpowder and technology, the effective attack distance of the small steel cannon is 300 steps, but Kong Erzi, as the commander of the artillery battalion of the large army, has long figured out the attack distance of the artillery in Busagan City.

Busagen City is indeed just a small city in terms of scale, but the artillery on the head of the city is no longer the artillery eliminated by the Ming Dynasty that Liu Hong gradually sold to Polochi, but has been replaced by the artillery of the Rakshasa people.

According to the latest news learned from Jinyiwei, the attack distance of the Rakshasa artillery has been comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty's standard field artillery, reaching more than 500 steps.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, not that Kong Er is stunned and doesn't want to show her hand in front of Zhu Cihong, but the actual situation does not allow it.

The artillery of the Ming army has just entered the territory of the ancient province of the alliance, and it cannot be transported to the front line in five or six days, but there are dozens of standard artillery in the ancient province of the alliance, but this thing is no longer as good as Liu Hongji's magic eye, and he didn't consider it at all when he went out to fight.

"Tianbao, can this distance suppress the artillery at the head of the city?" Liu Hong gradually asked.

Yang Tianbao didn't speak, and the eight brothers of the sniper squad died in the battle with the Dutch in the Tsushima Strait, which made him even more silent recently.

Hearing this, Yang Tianbao took a few steps forward, and looked back and forth on the eastern wall of Busagen City with a telescope for a moment.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang, there are fourteen artillery pieces on the east city wall, eight of which are Rakshasa artillery, and four are my old Ming Dynasty Furang machine guns, I am not completely sure that I can suppress all the artillery." Yang Tianbao said truthfully.

At a distance of 500 paces, even if they were all sharpshooters and assisted by scopes, the hit rate was still only 50%, and the sniper team was only 12 people in Dongying, except for 10 people in Dongying.

Twelve men and fourteen guns, plus half the hit rate, was a difficult task to complete.

"Second stunned, are your artillerymen afraid of death?" Liu Hong gradually didn't want to ask Kong Ermao.

"Back to the prince, my soldiers are not afraid of death, if any one escapes, I dare to raise my head to see it!" Kong Er was stunned and anxious when he heard it, and now the saint is tilting his head to listen to it, where does he dare to show cowardice.

"So what are you waiting for? Wait for Lao Tzu to cook for you? Hurry up and give me a bang until the Rakshasas are willing to open the city to fight! Liu Hong gradually pointed to the wall of Busagan City.

Small steel cannons are different from ordinary artillery, which can only hit frontal enemies with low elevation angles, such as city walls or gate towers during sieges, but small steel cannons are different.

The small steel cannon with a good angle can directly hit the cannonball into the city, and the cannonball of the small steel cannon can be a flowering bullet, that is, a grenade, although the power and firing distance are not as good as the later World War II period, but it is definitely the only one in the world at the moment.

Bang bang - bang bang - bang bang -

After a few moments, the twelve snipers had found their own suitable sniper positions and began firing at the Rakshasa gunners at the head of the city.

The Rakshasas at the head of the city fell three or four at once, and Yuri almost fell from his chair in shock when he learned that Daming's musket could hit five hundred paces away.

Later, I learned that there were only a dozen people attacking, and I felt a little relieved in my heart, if the firearms troops of the Ming Dynasty could have such a sharp attack distance, then they Rakshasa people still made a wool, and there would be no one in the city the next day.

Yuri is also under a lot of pressure, he has long figured out who the leader of the enemy army under the city is, and Yuri really has no bottom in his heart about this opponent who defeated Norton and Morozov one after another.

The two seniors are both veteran soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and Yuri is ashamed of himself in terms of military ability, but he is still very simply defeated by the Ming prince.

His Majesty Alexei will not be able to return from the Kobdo region in at least three days, and Yuri's heart is mixed, he was so proud when he took the oath in the country before, and now his heart is very bottomless.

This is the only chance to prove the ability of the Pavel family, and whether or not they can make a contribution in this battle is related to the next fate of the family.

There are more than 50,000 troops of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the city, and he is not without the strength to fight, Yuri clenches his fists under the protection of his personal guards.

"Lord Earl, Daming's firearms have been attacking our gunners, and our gunners can't operate the artillery normally at all!" Yodele, the artillery captain of the Rakshasa Country, came to report in disgrace.

"Hmph, what's the panic? These Ming troops didn't have heavy artillery at all, so what could they do with those muskets that could hit far? Yuri lashed out at Yodeldo.

He couldn't understand why the Ming army didn't produce more firearms with such a long shooting range, and what effect just a few guns could play in large-scale operations.

But before he could think about it, yodel came running again.

"Lord Earl, there is a group of Ming soldiers rushing towards us, they seem to be carrying something, and they can't see clearly from too far away."

"Bastard, what are you here to report? Don't hurry up and report it again when you see it clearly! ”

……

"Listen to Lao Tzu, the target is in the city of Busagen, and the attack is indiscriminate! Who dares to retreat and give Lao Tzu eye medicine, Lao Tzu will go back and smoke you to death with big-eared melon seeds! ”

Kong Er was stunned and took a group of newly trained mortar gunners to 'boost morale' to his subordinates while marching towards Busagen City.

Due to the limited training time, the current mortar gunner's operation movements are uneven, Kong Er was stunned and wisely chose to attack indiscriminately, that is, whoever loads the ammunition will open fire, without waiting for orders.

The gunner finally entered the attack range of the small steel cannon, and the city of Busagen was only more than two hundred steps away from them at this time, and Kong Er was stunned and could even see clearly the Rakshasa people behind the city wall who did not dare to raise their heads.

The snipers didn't stop firing, and the Rakshasas in the city couldn't figure out what the two hundred or so Ming troops were doing, and there was no order to fire the cannons from above, so they were happy not to risk the artillery.

Yodel finally saw what the Ming army was doing, and he had a sense of foreboding, and trotted to report to Count Yuri.

Boom - Boom - Boom - Boom

Mortar positions opened fire, and with a dull sound of artillery, shells from small steel cannons were projected at the city of Busagan.

"Second stunned, you're so damn crooked!"

Liu Hong gradually held the telescope and kept looking at Kong Er under the city of Busagen, but when he saw that more than half of the more than 20 mortars had fallen at the foot of the city wall, he roared angrily at Kong Er.

Kong Er was stunned and didn't hear it at all, he also realized that there was a problem with the angle, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to start calibrating the mortar raising angle.

After all, he followed Liu Hong to gradually fight Jiannu, and none of the old artillerymen under Kong Erzi were nervous, and they all carried out the operations in their hands in an orderly manner.

Boom - boom - boom -

Soon the second round of attacks began, and the hit rate was greatly improved, at least a third of the shells fell on the city wall, and half of the shells fell on the city of Busagan, and the Rakshasas on the eastern wall immediately fell into a panic.

"What? The artillery of the Ming army was able to hit the city? How is this possible! "Count Yuri was now on the west side of the city, and when he heard the news from his men, he frowned and was furious.
