Chapter 343: False Gun Position
Liu Zhilun knew that the reason why Qin Yanyi did not go to sea with them was to wait for the artillery to arrive at the port, and he believed that the artillery of the Ming army would multiply in a few days.
He waved his arms and shouted, "Hit, hit this official hard!" General Song, there is no need to save gunpowder, this time the officer did not bring anything else, and brought you 50,000 catties of high-grade gunpowder produced by the Military Warfare Bureau. ”
The production of gunpowder is not easy, the output of gunpowder produced by the Huang family is not high, and the "Red Flag Army" can only cope with it, so it always has to think about saving.
Liu Zhilun knew that Huang Han relied on firearms for war, so he specially requested that 50,000 catties be transferred from the Daming powder depot to be transported in person, and it could be delivered to the front line in Jinzhou two days later.
Knowing that the imperial court had given a large amount of gunpowder, the artillerymen came with great strength, and the action of firing was even faster.
In the rumbling cannon, the big traitor Ma Guangpu's face was like ashes, and he had already realized that he might have to confess his 100 catties in Jinzhou City.
He was hiding behind the Hongyi cannon, but later found out that the Ming army's cannonballs were the fire cannons at the head of Jinzhou City, and immediately left the fort far away.
Ma Guangpu's henchmen and soldiers carried iron shields, and as long as the Ming army fired artillery, he and his soldiers would lie down and use iron shields to protect their bodies as much as possible.
They were lucky, also because they deliberately kept a distance from the gun position, and only three people were wounded.
Feeling that the Ming army's shelling stopped, Ma Guangpu immediately ran out to inspect the losses, and found that none of the more than a dozen artillery pieces of different sizes could still be used.
This traitor understood that the Ming army was preparing to bombard the artillery of Jinzhou in turn to clear the threat for the next attack.
Presumably, tomorrow the Ming army will repeat its old tricks, and they may change directions and continue to bombard the artillery positions at the head of Jinzhou City.
You can't sit back and watch the Ming army destroy all the artillery, you have to find a way.
Ma Guangpu and more than a dozen Jiannu generals gathered together to discuss countermeasures, everyone's faces were not good-looking, what today's shelling meant, Jiannu all knew in their hearts.
Nahai spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Ming army has damaged all the cannons that our army has placed at the head of Yong'anmen today.
Presumably, they will continue to do this tomorrow, but as for which direction they will choose, we do not yet know, and we ask you to express your views directly on how our army will respond tomorrow. ”
Silence, no one answered, the venue was as silent as death.
The Jiannu didn't know why the artillery of the Ming army would shoot so accurately, they all stared at Ma Guangpu, thinking that it was the Han gunners who did not do their best or were greedy for life and fear of death and did not dare to carry out artillery battles, which caused such a big disparity in strength.
Ma Han traitor also did not know that the Ming army camp would have smoothbore guns with far better performance than Hongyi cannons, and the shooting accuracy and range had been improved.
Seeing that no one could come up with an idea, Nahai could only speak on his own, and he said: "Tonight, can we try to cover the artillery, with straw mats and cloths, so that it will be difficult for the Ming artillery to accurately concentrate our artillery." ”
Ma Guangpu's eyes lit up, and he said: "My lord, this official suggests that the easy-to-move Furang machine gun be transferred to the city, and set up a position directly facing the city gate hole, when the Ming army attacks on a large scale, they must always fortify and open the city gate, and then the Han gunners can shoot flat to kill the Ming army who entered the city gate hole." ”
"This method is good, the artillery is left at the head of the city and waiting for the Ming artillery to attack, it is better to hide on the street facing the city gate."
"This officer can cover it with wood and camouflage it is no different from the Hongyi cannon, and arrange some more fake cannons at night to pretend to be artillery positions in the city, so that when the Ming army shells tomorrow, the location of the real cannon will not be able to be found for a while, maybe the Hongyi cannon that is difficult to carry can be spared."
Nahai said: "Good idea, it is not easy for the Ming army to destroy our army's artillery, they don't know how many shells they have to shoot to be effective, Lord Ma, this official heard that even the best Hongyi cannons have a lifespan, and they will be scrapped after a certain number of shells, right?" ”
Ma Guangpu affirmed: "It is true, in order to destroy our army's artillery position, the Ming army fired too often and could not keep a few artillery pieces scrapped. ”
"There is no moon tonight, as long as our people are far away from the battlement, it is not easy to be hit by the Ming army's self-generated guns, Lord Ma, you must withdraw the artillery that can be carried before dawn, and arrange the fake cannons. At that time, we had to see how effective the Ming artillery could be. ”
Ma Guangpu suggested: "This officer thinks that there is really no need for our army to force all the Han troops to suffer casualties from shells at the head of the city, and we can leave a few people to observe the movements outside the city."
The rest of the people gathered in the cave under the city wall, and when the Ming army attacked, they rushed to the head of the city to set up defenses.
If this is done, tomorrow the losses of our army will be minimized by the artillery bombardment of the Ming army. ”
Today, Nahai saw the tragic situation of the defenders at the head of the city after being attacked by shells, and he thought that it was really necessary to adjust the deployment, and he could not leave too many people stupidly at the head of the city to be bombed.
He nodded and said: "This official agrees with Lord Ma's opinion, but this official wants to correct it, it is not only the Han army that stays in the city, but also my Eight Banners disciples who are sticking to the city, and the casualties during the day are not small." ”
Ma Guangpu said: "The duty of the Han army is to fire artillery, raise guns, and fire guns to attack the Ming army from a distance, and it should be held at the head of the city. ”
"This official understands that tomorrow he will order all the defenders of the city to pay attention to avoiding artillery fire, and no longer emphasize that no one can leave the city, and it is recommended to leave a few reliable people to monitor the movements of the Ming army, and quickly notify the chief officer when he finds that the Ming army is moving."
Jiannu said that he would do it, and three or four thousand people immediately went to the city to disassemble and carry the artillery under the leadership of Ma Guangpu, and they were busy all night.
Because of the expectation of being shot by the Ming army, they made preparations as much as they could, and the iron shield and the deliberately exposed dummy attracted a lot of mini bullets.
Most of the people in the Later Jin Army knew that there was a gap between changing guns or reloading when the Ming army had just finished paying once, and it would be much safer to run quickly at this time.
Therefore, the Jiannu who were killed at night were really limited, and when the fish belly appeared white in the east, they really transported away the Franc machine run that was less than 2,000 catties, and successfully arranged many false gun emplacements.
Only seven Hongyi cannons of more than 3,000 catties were left on the three city walls, and the remaining more than 30 Furlong cannons of various sizes were carried down from the city head and deployed on the street facing the four city gates.
