Seventy heavy artillery guns fired in a volley, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Li Zhi stood a hundred meters away from the cannon, only to feel that the ground was undulating, as if an earthquake had occurred. The heavy artillery pack horses tied to the side neighed loudly in fright, and many pack horses were about to run away, but they were stopped by the baggage groom, and only then did they calm down a little.

The muzzle of the cannon spat out huge flames, and from Li Zhi's point of view, those flames were connected together, illuminating the day even brighter. A thunderous rumble followed, shaking the eardrums, as if something was hammering in the ear.

Seventy heavy shells weighing more than ten catties were like seventy meteors, flying towards the earthen wall of the Qing army two miles away. Thirty percent of the shells hit the earthen wall, instantly smashing the earthen wall into powder. Not even the city walls can stop the bombardment of solid shells, let alone these earthen walls? Once the shells hit the earthen wall, they smashed the nearby wall into large holes.

The cannonball smashed through the earthen wall and continued to advance, killing the firecrackers behind the earthen wall.

Most of the shells that did not hit the earthen wall also fell into the camp and ran rampant in the camp.

Li Zhi observed the scene in front of him with a telescope and saw a Qing soldier hit by a cannonball in the waist and abdomen, and the whole person was immediately smashed into pieces, and the corpse was not completed. By the time the blood mist dissipated and the Qing soldiers landed, only the bodies above the chest were still intact.

Li Zhi moved his binoculars a little and saw another place where a "strong" officer of the Qing army wearing three layers of armor was smashed on his right leg by a cannonball. His entire right leg had been smashed by the shell, and his white leg bones were exposed, with blood-red minced flesh hanging from them. One of the officers fell to the ground screaming, blood spurting out of the broken leg like a fountain. Not long after, the growth died of excessive blood loss.

Dozens of shells jumped and sprinted in the Qing army camp, like dozens of deaths, drawing a straight line of death. All life in a straight line is either dead or wounded.

The smell of blood suddenly permeated the entire Qing army camp, and the panicked soldiers fled everywhere, shouting loudly to avoid the shells that would fly again at any time. After only one round of shelling, the Qing army's camp was in chaos. This is not because the Qing army has no military discipline, and under the bombardment of such powerful firepower, any army will be chaotic.

Anping Beledudu looked at the chaotic camp and rushed out angrily. He roared loudly and whipped the fleeing soldiers with his leather whip. But there are too many people fleeing in a panic, how can Du Du's leather whip suppress it? As soon as Du Du turned around, he yelled at Shi Tingzhu, the Han army's Qigu Mountain: "Shi Tingzhu, fire back with artillery!" ”

Shi Tingzhu knelt down and said, "Lord Belle, our cannon can only hit one mile directly. Hitting two miles can only be a projectile, which is not only inaccurate, but also much worse in lethality. ”

Du Du shouted loudly: "Shoot! Shoot too! It's better than being beaten for nothing. ”

Shi Tingzhu nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly ran to the wall to organize the Xiaohongyi cannon to fight back.

In Hong Chengchou's Central Army, the generals of the Ming Army saw the scene of Li Zhi's 70 heavy artillery salvos, and their faces turned pale.

Li Zhi's cannon smashed the Qing army's camp wall to shreds at once. Punch out more than twenty openings a few steps wide. The generals of the Ming army were embarrassed, this is the firepower of more than 10,000 tiger divisions? The 130,000 cavalry of the Ming army supported Jinzhou, and the artillery in the army together did not have such a might.

Hong Chengchou looked at Li Zhi's cannon, remembered the secret edict of the Son of Heaven that let him hide Li Zhi, and sighed. Li Zhi's current power has reached a jaw-dropping level, no wonder the Son of Heaven wants to suppress him everywhere. However, in the face of the Qing army equipped with firearms on this battlefield, without Li Zhiming, the army could not advance at all, and Hong Chengchou had to rely on Li Zhi to kill the enemy and pull out the village.

It seems that in a few days, the camp of the Qing army will be broken by such bombardment artillery. When the time comes, the Tang newspaper will go up, I don't know what the mood of the Son of Heaven is...

Yang Guozhu stroked his beard and shook his head, turned to Wang Pu, who was also surprised, and said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Xingguobo's soldiers and horses have become stronger. ”

Wang Pu raised his head and laughed, suddenly got stuck in the middle of laughing, changed color and said: "Watching Xingguo Bo attack the village, I know what the rules are." Compared with Xingguo Bo, our method of attacking the village seems to be a fool. ”

Yang Guozhu also smiled awkwardly and shook his head silently.

Wu Sangui held the binoculars and looked at the panicked scene in the Qing army camp, and took a few breaths. Secret Dao: No wonder Li Zhi doesn't need to make attacking equipment. There are such seventy cannons bombardment, which is much better than the siege equipment that rushes up to the shells. How could Li Zhi have so many heavy artillery? Why is the equipment of his soldiers and horses so gorgeous?

How much silver does it cost to equip such equipment?

In the Qing army camp, the Qing army's seventeen small cannons returned fire.

Seventeen small cannons were raised high and shells were thrown at Li Zhi's position, two miles away. However, such a projectile is really not accurate. Because of the projectile, a straight distance of a thousand meters turned into a longer curved flight distance, and even a gust of wind could keep the shells away from the planned landing point.

Moreover, the projectile does not have much kinetic energy after landing, and it can only hit one target, unlike a direct shell that sweeps a line.

Seventeen small cannons were fired, and shells were scattered over a wide area. However, Li Zhi's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were too large, and nine shells still hit Li Zhi's soldiers and horses. A shell hit an artilleryman in the chest, breaking several of his ribs, and he was afraid that he would not be saved. The other eight shots fell on the infantry of the escort artillerymen, killing seven soldiers and killing one military horse.

More than 100 batteries were built on the walls of the Qing army, and if the artillery of the Qing army did not fire, Li Zhi's artillery would not know which battery had a cannon behind it. At this time, the Qing army's small artillery fired, but it exposed its position and immediately became the target of heavy artillery bombardment.

Seventy heavy artillery pieces soon began a second round of fire, striking at the artillery of the Qing army. Seventy shells were fired at the gun positions of the Qing army. I only saw a piece of dust, and the earthen walls next to the Qing army fort were damaged one after another, and a large area was destroyed. Even if the Qing army's artillery emplacements were built with earthen forts, they had no resistance in the face of more than a dozen pounds of shells, and they were smashed to ashes.

The earthen fort that Li Zhi shot was originally used to defend against the bows and arrows of the Qing army, so how could he have thought of using it to defend against eighteen-pounder guns? The Qing army painted a scoop to learn the fort in the same way, and there was no difference between being directly naked in front of Li Zhi's heavy artillery.

In just one round of shooting, eight or nine small cannons of the Qing army were knocked out. If a shell hits the barrel, the cannon is useless. If the shell did not hit the barrel of the gun, but killed the gunner behind the battery, the Hongyi guns were no longer operated.

The gunners of the Qing army were killed by dozens of people at once, where did they dare to operate the artillery? In the face of such an absolute superiority in firepower, hiding behind the fort and operating the cannon is looking for death. They howled and fled from the battery, not daring to fire at Li Zhi's artillery again.
