Chapter 70: Cold Hair

Guangzhou Fucheng, city tower.

It's not a good feeling to be abandoned by the world.

Wang Rulong, who was wearing a helmet and armor, raised his arm to the small hillside col more than a thousand steps below the city, where Chen Mu was, when the people's eyesight was exhausted, Wang Rulong, whose face was full of vicissitudes, couldn't see Chen Mu and couldn't see how many people there were, he just asked in a low voice: "What kind of cannon is that?" ”

His original intention may have been to raise his hand to point out where the cannon was, but his arm was halfway up, but he slammed it against the female wall and did not point it.

'What's that?' or 'What's that?' ’

The black cannon body is not very thick, but the cannon body is very long, the red gun carriage is very conspicuous, and Wang Rulong even saw a few pack horses next to him.

Do you use pack horses to transport artillery carts and use the weapons on the city walls to defend the city in the field?

Wang Rulong didn't know that he had been imprisoned for too long, and the scene in front of him was no less powerful than five shells falling on the Japanese front.

He was a miner, living in a dark mine for ten years, until General Qi Jiguang asked him to join the army and kill the widows.

He was a recruiter who lived on the road to hunt down the Japanese for ten years. Xiaotingling hand-cut four widows, and promoted the total; Fuqing Niutian cut four widows, his subordinates won the first one hundred and three, Xinghua Mansion Lin Dun won the first one hundred and four, and was promoted to the garrison of Fujian North Road; Defend Xianyou, drive thieves from Zhangpu Garden, smash the two nests of Hengyu and Xiaoshiling, and promote Fujian to command the affairs, promote the Guangdong general, and award General Zhaoyong.

He didn't lose.

A pair of handbooks for the second half of his life in prison, he has no regrets, if there is, it is nothing more than that he can't follow General Qi to garrison Jizhen to attack the northern captives, what about the northern captives!

A letter from afar said that Qi Shuai was training troops in the north to guard against the northern captives, and it was difficult for the mandarin duck array and tiger squat artillery to make meritorious contributions, and the car battalion needed a large number of Francophone machines to choke the northern captives.

General Qi helped him a lot, but Wang Rulong couldn't help, he was claustrophobic at the foot of Yuexiu Mountain south of Wuling, and he could neither share his worries for the Qi clan nor go into battle to kill the enemy, and he was not free.

Although some loneliness is unavoidable, Wang Rulong has never felt sad.

How many years have passed, the Japanese have come and gone, the officers and soldiers have fought and withdrawn, and whenever they summon Wang Rulong to fight, it is to defeat the enemy and win, and it has never changed.

Until the Battle of Xinjiang, he saw a small bird with a small flag with a familiar medicine cartridge on his hand;

It wasn't until the Battle of Canton that he saw a small thousand artillery bombarding the Japanese at a distance of 700 paces with artillery that he had never seen before.

No one in the city could answer Wang Rulong's question, and no one had ever seen this kind of artillery.

But at least this proves to the disheartened Wang Rulong that there are still changes in this world.

Maybe he in Guangdong can help General Qi again.

The situation in the military struggle has certainly changed.

In front of the battalion commander, his army had not yet engaged with the Japanese pirates, and after a cannonball fell into the enemy line and killed and injured seven or eight Japanese pirates, five cannonballs came straight at them, and they walked accurately in the Japanese formation, directly defeating a group of more than 400 Japanese pirates, and the battalion soldiers did not even have time to pursue, and these pirates and Japanese pirates scattered and fled back to the camp.

Six solid bullets smashed all the bravados of the Japanese invaders.

At the foot of the hillside, the morale of the banner army was greatly boosted, the artillery shouted, and under the leadership of many hundred households, the spearmen shouted neatly with their spears.

As if the shells that were constantly falling on the hillside did not exist, in fact, in the eyes of many Guangcheng officials at the head of the city, those shells were like rain, and the thirty or forty large ships in the river were full of firepower, and the Japanese warships that formed a circle on the water surface walked away one after another, and bursts of light burst out from the side of the ships, and hundreds of Franco cannons of different shapes and sizes and even old mortars poured shells on the hillside as if they could hit it or not.

Smoke and dust whistled up on the hillside, and even from a distance, it still made people shudder from the bottom of their hearts.

The guards celebrated with great morale that they had broken the enemy with several cannons in unison, as if the gods had descended from heaven to dodge the fire that was close at hand, and did not have to dodge, for not a single shell could fall on them.

This is a divine army protected by the gods.

Of course, there are also people who are afraid, many guards and some battalions who marched to Guangcheng with the army scattered and fled as early as the first round of artillery fire from the Japanese warships, leaving only Xinhui Qianhu Huang Dexiang two forces of war, but gritted their teeth and ordered the banner army and Jia Ding to stand behind Deng Zilong and others, and some people were frightened by the artillery fire on the other side of the hillside.

But they are brave and still stand here.

Chen Mu's banner army was the same, when the first round of artillery fire came, the vibration under their feet made them almost collapse, but after discovering that it was really like what they Qianhu had taught them, no shells could hit them in this place, and then the morale that was almost crumbling suddenly rose and turned to excitement and worship.

"Qianhu, if you don't stand in the back, this cannon will hit." Huang Dexiang paused to speak, shouting loudly to overpower the roar on the other side of the hillside, and the smoke and dust covered Chen Mu's armor, "I can't sit down!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Chen Mu laughed loudly, at this moment, the price he paid for his painstaking practice of artillery skills was rewarded, and the joy in his eyes could not be concealed, "It's here, it's here!" ”

"Franc cannon, Huang Qianhu, Zeng Sanlao used the Fran cannon, this kind of cannon, Chen has eighty catties, one hundred and fifty catties, two hundred and thirty catties and three hundred catties, more than eighty guns! I have dismantled all the guns and moved them to land, flat fire, anti-aircraft fire, 50 steps, 123400 steps, I have even measured how high the trees each cannon can hit at every angle and every distance! ”

The artillery of the Xiangshan Qianhu Institute is powerful, and they have a brief Chen's artillery drill to learn, and each of the closed guns, hair fires, and Furang cannons are equipped with a wooden frame distance sight that is basically accurate for the gun type, and the crosshair can achieve the greatest accuracy in this era.

As long as an artilleryman who can look at the sight adjusts the gun position, the accuracy of the gun released is eight or nine.

But where did the data come from?

It was their artillery instructor, Chen Qianhu personally took Wei Balang to fight one by one, although it was not Chen Mu's fight to be precise, because he had never let the flag army ignite the fire, in fact, the Guanghaiwei cannon was the first time he lit the artillery, but all the data measurements in Xiangshan, every shell fired was a cannon that he adjusted the angle.

He fired more shells this year than he had in four years!

In the whole Xiangshan, no one is more familiar with the ballistics of various artillery pieces than him.

Only when people really do it can they be confident when they speak.

Chen Mu stretched out his arm and pointed to the side of the mountain, which was the direction of the Japanese fleet on the river that crossed the hillside to block his mind, "Chen said that he couldn't hit here, he had just blown up all the ship's cannons and killed all his gunners - he couldn't hurt a single hair of my Xiangshan Qianhu Banner Army!" ”
