Chapter 816: Parabola

Shi Kefa dropped the cup all of a sudden, but he didn't care about the debris on the ground at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 He stared out the door dumbfounded, trying to figure out what the explosions and screams were all about.

Wu Sangui stood up suddenly, pressed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, and looked at the door of the house with wide eyes.

However, there seemed to be chaos outside, and no one had come in to report for a while.

Zuo Liangyu can still keep calm. He narrowed his eyes and arched his hand and said, "Lord Benbing, Chief Soldier, don't panic. It is impossible for Li Zhi's cannon to be able to blow into the trench, the cannon has no angle to shoot at the trench, unless Li Zhi's cannon is shot from the sky, otherwise it will be stopped by the soil in front of the trench! ”

The cannons of this era were all solid shells, with an emphasis on impact. The 45-degree or even 60-degree projectile of a mortar has no impact on solid shells, and has never been seen in artillery of this era. Zuo Liangyu had never seen such a method of warfare, and of course he did not understand how artillery could be fired into a trench.

Shi Kefa and Wu Sangui looked at Zuo Liangyu, their eyes uncertain.

Zuo Liangyu thought for a while and said, "Don't panic, the two of you must have accidentally lit the gunpowder bag when the soldier was smoking dry cigarettes, so there was an explosion." ”

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that Li Zhi really has the means to shoot the cannon into the trench? Li Zhi is a human being, not a star! ”

After Zuo Liangyu said this, he laughed heartily. Unfazed, he picked up his teacup and took another sip of tea.

Wu Sangui looked at Zuo Liangyu, his face cloudy. But he didn't see the officer who came in to report the news, and Wu Sangui also suspected that there was a small accident outside. Looking at the calm Zuo Liangyu, he smiled a little awkwardly.

However, before Wu Sangui could sit back in his chair, a huge explosion sounded outside.

This time it wasn't one or two, but this time dozens of explosions came from the left and right directions at the same time, like a rolling thunder exploding in my ears.

The screams sounded like the sound of an explosion, and then came.

Hearing this explosion, Zuo Liangyu's hand shook, and he actually poured all the hot tea on his red official robe.

The incessant sound of explosions, this obviously could not have been an accident caused by soldiers.

Is Li Zhi really descending from the stars? And invented new means to deal with trench warfare?

Shi Kefa's face suddenly turned white, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. There is no doubt that this is Li Zhi's new method to blow up the trench. There must have been a big problem in the trench ahead.

The maids and soldiers in the house panicked, and retreated into the corner of the house one by one, as if they were afraid that the explosion would suddenly occur in the house.

Finally, a Bai Chang ran to the door and shouted: "Dashuai! The blossom catapult of the Li thief has been shot into the trench! ”

Wu Sangui asked loudly, "How could a cannon shoot into a trench?" The trench is so deep, how can the cannon shoot in? ”

The chief replied in a panic: "The last general doesn't know, the last general only knows that shells are shooting in the trenches everywhere, and they are exploding everywhere." ”

Before Bai Chang's words fell, another thunderous explosion sounded.

Shi Kefa and Zuo Liangyu glanced at each other, and there was already panic in their eyes.

Wu Sangui took a sharp step, walked out of the house, and walked towards the first line of trenches.

The scene in the first-line trenches was somewhat chaotic. The trench, which had been supposed to be absolutely safe, suddenly became a target for the artillery on the opposite side, which immediately caused the soldiers to panic. Some of the soldiers turned pale with fright from the explosions and clung to the wall of the trench at the front of the trench. Some of the soldiers did not even dare to stand in the trench, but only clung to the ground with their heads tightly clutched.

Wu Sangui looked up and suddenly saw a black cannonball falling from the sky at a 45-degree angle, smashed through the rain shelter above the trench, and fell into the trench twenty meters to his right.

When the soldiers at the place where the shell landed saw this shell, they screamed and jumped to the sides with all their might.

The shells were small, but the lethality was amazing. It took only a breath to fall into the trench, and before the soldiers around the shell could jump away, the shell exploded. Sparks burst into the trenches, and steel slag from the shells flew everywhere.

Although the shock wave of the cannonball was limited, the steel slag suddenly shot into the surrounding space of two meters, and immediately seriously injured two soldiers nearby.

The two soldiers didn't know where they had been stabbed by the steel slag, and they rolled on the ground and screamed. Blood burst out in the tumbling, adding another smell of blood to the already sweat-filled trench.

In the midsummer weather, Wu Sangui only felt a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Why did the shells come in diagonally from the direction of the sky, could it be that Li Zhi really shot from the sky? Is Lee Sik firing a cannonball at a hot air balloon? Wu Sangui cautiously ran to the first line of trenches, stepped on a small bench and looked at the sky ahead.

And yet there was nothing in the sky.

Wu Sangui sighed in his heart, and secretly said that he had seen a ghost today. There are no hot air balloons in the sky, where did the shells fly from?

Wu Sangui looked at the tiger army trench on the opposite side again.

The trench of the Tiger Ben Army had been dug a mile away from the trench of the Jiangbei Army. The trench looked normal, there was no movement. It's just that every ten zhang or so, a Tiger Ben Army soldier sticks out his head and comes out, as if he is observing the movements of the Jiangbei Army.

Could it be that the shells were fired from the trenches of the Tiger Army? Wu Sangui frowned.

If that's the case, it's really troublesome, and the Jiangbei Army won't be able to fight back at all.

"Tom" "Tom" "Tom"

A dull sound faintly sounded from the position of the Tiger Army, Wu Sangui looked at it, and sure enough, he saw three small cannonballs flying out of the trench on the opposite side.

The shell drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell towards this side of the trench. One of the three shells landed on the ground outside the trench, and the other two fell accurately into the trench through the canopy.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Explosions rang out, and this time at least five soldiers were wounded by the blossom shells, howling like pigs.

Not only were there shells nearby, but more explosions were heard in the distance. The sound of the explosion was like the sound of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, one after another, resounding in the nearby battle line that Wu Sangui's ears could hear. Obviously, the number of Li Zhi's new artillery pieces is not one or two, but hundreds or thousands.

This amount made Wu Sangui feel chills all over his body.

What means did Li Zhi use to produce so many new artillery pieces at one time? Even if the Jiangbei Army is given a few years, it will not be able to build so many artillery.

Moreover, this new artillery can actually throw flowering bullets into the trench to cause damage, so wouldn't the Jiangbei Army only be passively beaten? How can this battle be fought?

Wu Sangui fell into an ice cave, and his hands trembled violently.

On the other side of the trench, Li Xing's eyes lit up with excitement as he watched the mortars set up in the trench continue to kill and wound enemy soldiers.

Looking at it, Li Xing laughed out loud and said, "Bomb!" Fry hard! Blow up these straight sissy thieves! ”
