Chapter 102: Bloody Battle

"It's a bloody battle!"

On the city wall of Hewanpu, Yang Feng looked at the other side and said with emotion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was indeed a bloody battle.

Braving the solid shells of the Ming naval guns on the flanks and the mortar shells on the frontal river bay city wall to bombard the Qing cavalry that charged frantically, it hit the Ming defense line like a raging wave, and then fell in the dense bullets or crashed into the spear like a forest, and was instantly pierced into a hedgehog. And their opponents also kept falling, dying from the cannonballs fired from the opposite wall, from the sharp arrows or throwing spears fired by the Qing army, and even from the ferocious impact when they crashed into the spear forest.

The corpses of both sides were piling up in a small area, and the blood that flowed into the Liao River even changed the color of the river near the river.

But neither side flinched.

Whether it was the Qing army guarding the gate of Liaodong or the Ming army carrying the emperor's expectations, they continued to fight in the blood and corpses without flinching, and the sampans in the rear of the Ming army continued to dock, and the soldiers armed with spears and bird guns immediately jumped out of it, formed a formation under the cover of the Ming army in front of the bloody battle, and then rushed to the battlefield with a shout. At the gate of Maquanzi City, the rear of the Qing army, a group of cavalry was also constantly rushing out, constantly moving forward in the light of the explosion of the fire bombs, roaring and attacking the increasingly solid defense line of the Ming army, and the bloodiness and cruelty of the war were fully displayed in this small ferry.

"Bring the drumsticks, I will cheer for the soldiers!"

Yang Feng said.

Behind him, the drummer immediately put the drumsticks on.

Immediately after that, His Majesty the Emperor, dressed in a dragon robe, began to beat the huge war drum.

In the thunderous drums, all the Ming troops on the river marched forward bravely.

Behind them, in a gap on the east wall of Hewanpu, which had just been opened and nearly five zhang wide, dozens of buffaloes walked out of it slowly, and then a behemoth slowly appeared under the drag of these buffaloes, and the copper-green body as thick as a water tank represented its terrifying identity......

Kamui is invincible and cannon.

It's just that at this time, there is an extra base made of logs under the cannon.

Or it can also be said to be a raft.

But unlike the raft, it was flanked by thirty other wide wheels made of the same logs, covered with iron plates, like a modern large flatbed trailer, carrying a huge cannon weighing seven tons on it, and slowly moving forward under the tow of thirty buffaloes, even if it made a gap of more than ten meters in the city wall, it could only allow the trailer to pass.

This is the purpose of the bloody war on the other side.

If you want to blast the city wall of the horse circle, it is useless to fire the cannon here, because the Liaohe River blocks the cannonball can only barely reach there by hitting the high throwing trajectory, just like the mortars that are now bombarding the cavalry of the Qing army, but in this case, if you want to hit the city wall, you need to go against the sky, and the solid stone bullet has no power at that time, so if you want to smash the city wall, you can only move the Shenwei invincible general cannon to the east bank and shoot directly at the city wall at a distance of less than a thousand meters.

It's no problem to move over.

Cao Youyi crossed more than one river along the way from Jinzhou with five cannons, and under each cannon there was a flatbed trailer like this, which was specially designed to allow them to operate in the water network area around the Liaohe River in summer, and the wheels were nearly a meter wide, just like the tracks of a tank, and the axles were even covered with modern bearings!

But here, the Qing army would not allow it to go ashore and then complete the erection, and then reload the ammunition to aim at their walls and fire constantly, so it was necessary to grab an artillery position.

As for Yang Feng playing bombing again......

It was based on the sky, and now the wind is blowing in your face.

How do you float a hot air balloon in the opposite direction?

When the invincible general cannon of Shenwei was dragged out of the river bay and moved towards the river beach under the drag of those buffaloes, the Qing army on the east bank also understood the usefulness of this thing, and their offensive was sharply strengthened, and by this time the Qing cavalry had exceeded 2,000 cavalry on the battlefield, and the Ming army that crossed the river even reached 4,000, and the 6,000 soldiers on both sides turned the battlefield of less than one square kilometer into a meat grinder, and four small Spanish phalanxes formed a continuous defensive line.

The swampy terrain on both sides of the site was favorable to the Ming army.

They don't need to take care of the flanks at all.

After the initial bloody battle, relying on the sacrifice of the forwards, the follow-up Ming army gradually completed the formation, and the small phalanx composed of four thousand people immediately blocked the entire front.

The Qing army that could not go around from the swamp had to hard-top the spears that were like a forest, as well as the bullets that were constantly fired from the four corners of the spear array, and the spears in their hands could not pierce the Ming army, the length difference between the spears of the two sides was too large, and the arrows fired by their cavalry bows were also difficult to penetrate the cotton armor on the transparent soldiers, even if they penetrated, they could not cause much damage, as long as the will of the Ming soldiers was firm enough, he could continue to endure the pain and maintain the formation, and the narrow battlefield also made the galloping of the Qing cavalry useless, because the favorite of those bird gunners on the opposite side was this.

The Qing army on the battlefield is more and more helpless with this thing, and the only thing that can help them is the artillery in the rear, because the Ming army is in a dense formation, and once it is hit by a shell, the casualties are also very large.

But it didn't work.

Twenty cannons can't kill many Ming troops, the shells are slow to fire, poor accuracy, if it was before, the Ming army may be defeated when it encounters such an artillery bombardment, but now the Ming army is behind the emperor, and they who have followed the emperor for a year have long been swayed by a religious fanaticism, as long as they follow the emperor, they don't know what fear is.

In this day and age, courage and will determine the battlefield.

As long as you would rather die than retreat.

An army can be said to be undefeated, it is useless to talk about anything else, and the firepower of this era has not yet overwhelmed the ability of courage.

What's more, the firepower advantage is also on the side of the Ming army, whether it is the small artillery on the dozens of warships on the river, or the mortars lined up on the city wall of the river bay, they are providing sufficient fire support for the Ming army on the east bank, especially the longest range of the latter, and even almost reached the front of the gate of the Maquanzi City, it can be said that the Qing army may be bombarded by flowering shells as soon as it leaves the city, not to mention that there are hundreds of cannons on the river that are bombarding them.

Just as the mighty and invincible general cannon was dragged into the river, and floated under the raft below, swaying to the east bank, the Qing army's artillery immediately shifted its target and began to bombard the cannon.

In the rising columns of water all around, the cannon slowly moved forward, and soon the buffaloes entered the deep water and began to swim towards the opposite bank, of course they certainly could not drag the cannon over in this way, and then several sampans reached the back of the raft and paddled forward, although the speed of movement was pitiful, but it was still firmly moving towards the opposite bank, but because of the flow of the river, its direction was difficult to maintain stability.

The shells of the Qing army continued to fall, and even some shells directly hit the cannons, but after flying more than a thousand meters away, these shells had no power, and they could only rub out a little spark on the bronze cannon.

Of course, even if it is close, it is useless, and the bronze lump weighing tens of thousands of catties can not be injured by a small cannonball weighing more than ten catties!

When the cannon crossed the river, the Ming army that landed on the east bank quickly built an earthen embankment more than one meter thick for it on the bank, and the height was more than four meters, when the earthen embankment was completed, those buffaloes also stepped on the river beach on the east bank, and soon dragged the raft under the cannon and crushed it on the soft mud ground.

Fortunately, this is not difficult to solve.

Thousands of soldiers quickly stepped forward and dragged forward, either pushing or dragging forward.

The artillery of the Qing army immediately concentrated the bombardment.

From time to time, the Ming soldiers fell from time to time in the falling shells, but the waiting ones immediately stepped forward to replace them, and even the dragged buffalo was killed by the shells, and then hundreds of soldiers stepped forward to grab the broken ropes, all of them were lowering their heads, desperately pulling forward, shouting trumpets in the drums from the west bank, the huge cannon moved slowly like a monster on the trailer, leaving hundreds of corpses on both sides, as if they were paving the way for it with flesh and blood.

The Qing army on the periphery attacked more frantically, and even a reinforced heavy infantry joined the battlefield, the spear forest and the shield wall collided at close range, and the accurate archers of the Qing army immediately caused a lot of casualties to the Ming army, but behind it was the emperor's Ming army, none of them flinched, and the spears of Zhangba also pierced the latter's face, and then the grenadiers who had been waiting in the middle stepped forward in the crowd, and then threw a five-pound grenade at the Qing army's shield array, and the shield array was immediately blown up in the firelight.

At this time, the cannon was finally dragged behind the parapet.

The Qing artillery shells could not do anything against it.

The rope that fixed the cannon was quickly untied, and the heavy cannon slowly got off the trailer under the push of countless soldiers, and was erected behind the parapet, at the same time, six strong men carried a 400-pound granite cannonball in a soft pocket and quickly stepped forward, and the crane arm on the cannon quickly lifted it, and a soldier pushed it hard at the muzzle, and the medicine bag inside had already been placed, and the cannonball was not released because he was afraid that it would roll out in the ups and downs. After the shells were placed, the soldiers next to the parapet wall quickly carved out the firing port in the wall, and the huge cannon port like a water tank immediately pointed to the distant Hewan Pucheng, and as the two gunners behind them turned the wheel to control the pitch angle, the muzzle was slightly raised a little. Immediately after the gunner at the tail of the cannon put the arquebus into the ignition hole, the earth-shattering cannon sound suddenly rang out, and the huge granite cannonball with strong kinetic energy instantly reached six hundred meters away, and accurately hit the wall of Maquanzi City, and there was immediately a huge scar clearly visible on the city wall.

"It's done!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
