After laughing for a while, an officer spoke, "Commander-in-chief, Huang Taiji is on the other side, such a good opportunity, I'm still unwilling, can't you try it?" You also said just now, if you can teach us long-distance artillery skills, just use Huang Taiji to demonstrate, even if the distance is too far to hit, it's good to give it a try. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chen Xin shook his head, "The original intention of our infantry artillery design is not to be used for long-range shooting, and at such a long distance, the strong charge is a bit reluctant." ”

The officers were still unwilling and continued to persuade.

The big cat also spoke, "Commander-in-chief, the opportunity is rare, let's gather all the infantry guns and try it together, okay?" Anyway, it doesn't take much effort, just give it a try, it's normal to miss it, but if you get it, won't you make a lot of money? ”

Seeing that everyone was a little eager to try, Chen Xin did not shirk, although the distance was too far and it was unlikely to hit, but it would not hurt to give it a try, and immediately ordered more than a dozen infantry guns of the whole army to gather.

In less than 5 minutes, the members of the artillery crews of each platoon carried their guns and quickly assembled on a high ground.

The order was made for 3 guns in a column to form a loose artillery cluster, all reinforced charge, and waiting for the order to fire.

Then Chen Xin personally operated an artillery piece and began to adjust the firing range.

When the infantry gun was originally designed, it was positioned as direct fire support for the squad platoon, so there was only one fixed tripod, which could rotate left and right 360 degrees, but could not move up and down.

Now when it comes to shooting from long distances, this tripod becomes an obstacle.

So Chen Xin raised the barrel and touched the ground at the bottom, turning the front tripod into a bipod with one foot in the air, and adjusting the muzzle angle by fixing the bipod on the barrel.

The first was of course a test firing at a 10-degree angle, and the gun was quickly dismantled after it was discharged.

This cannon sound alarmed the group of Jurchen horses who had been observing the riverside on the other side, and when they looked around, Chen Xin had already readjusted the angle of the cannon and finished loading.

In the cannon just now, Chen Xin had already determined the trajectory with the help of Lao Bai, and now the adjustment of the muzzle angle was also completed by Lao Bai's calculations.

After firing again, everyone still couldn't see the impact point, and a few officers couldn't help but show disappointment, but Chen Xin was not angry at all, continued to load, and then adjusted the angle.

After another test firing, everyone finally saw the point of impact, and on the river dozens of steps in front of Huang Taiji and others, a splash of water splashed up.

Everyone cheered, and the other party finally knew that the artillery was aimed at them, although it seemed that the cannon was not big, but it could kill people.

Chen Xin completed three school shots, and seeing that the enemy was about to run, the third bullet impact point was so close.

Chen Xin simply ordered all the gunners who had already adjusted the muzzle with him, and at the same time moved the fixed ring of the gun carriage forward by a finger distance, and then immediately fired a volley.

More than a dozen infantry guns were fired at the same time, and the body of the cannon shook everyone's ears, but no one paid attention to their ears, and all of them stared at Huang Taiji and his party on the other side with wide eyes.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and at the moment when everyone held their breath and concentrated, two people and one horse in Huang Taiji's horse team on the other side seemed to have been hit by a giant hammer, and in the blood spray, several corpses fell to the ground and tripped over the four or five riders behind.

Everyone's hearts were almost jumping out, and everyone's eyes widened, carefully identifying whether there was Huang Taiji's figure among the people who fell.

Suddenly, an officer was the first to shout, "Huang Taiji has fallen, he has fallen." ”

"Really, he really fell."

But in the excited shouts of everyone, Huang Taiji, who fell to the ground, turned over and sat up, and then got on the war horse of another person with the support of the people next to him, and quickly beat the horse and left.

"Keep firing, hurry up and fire, just at this angle, don't let Huang Taiji run." The big cat gritted its teeth and roared loudly.

But after waiting for a long time, no one fired the artillery, and when he stared at the artillery position behind him with blood-red eyes, he gasped. "What's going on?"

I saw that the gun mounts of more than a dozen infantry guns were broken in unison, and the hot barrels fell to the ground, scorching the withered yellow weeds and emitting a burst of burnt smell.

Chen Xin sighed and said, "There is no way, the infantry artillery is not equipped with a gun carriage for firing from the back, and the last salvo is not fixed, plus in order to increase the range and damage, the charge has been strengthened, and it has become like this." ”

Seeing that everyone was a little depressed, Chen Xin comforted, "What are you doing? I didn't think that we could hit, we let Huang Taiji lie on the ground and lose face, it was already an unexpected surprise, this cow is enough for everyone to blow for a lifetime, what are you doing with a sad face? If you don't go back to your post soon, in case Huang Taiji becomes angry and comes to cross the Yalu River by force, let me stop it myself. ”

Everyone woke up from a dream and immediately cheered up and headed for their troops.

Chen Xin was swaying slowly, walking slowly.

When Damiao saw Chen Xin's appearance, he was curious, "Commander-in-chief, didn't you say that Huang Taiji might be angry and forcibly cross the Yalu River?" Why are you so laid-back? ”

Chen Xin smiled, "I'm just making them nervous and testing their rapid mobilization ability again, if Huang Taiji really crosses the Yalu River because of just a little humiliation, then he is not Huang Taiji." ”

The big cat was a little worried, "But what if? ”

"A mere eighth son, the fourth of the children who are even knighted as old slaves, was named Baylor, but he was able to grab the throne under the ring of a strong enemy, such a person would raise an army because of humiliation and anger? I don't believe it. ”

After a pause, he stared at the big cat and said, "The most important point, the Jurchens are not good at water warfare, and in the battle of Juehua Island last year, so many warships were captured, but what was the result?" Let them all burn, such a force, dare to cross the Yalu River on a sampan? ”

patted the big cat on the shoulder, "If it weren't for more than ninety percent certainty, do you think I would take the lives of my brothers to cut off the queen for Amin?" ”

Sure enough, when it was night, I didn't see any forced crossing of the Yalu River on the opposite side.

In this way, the two sides quietly confronted each other across the river for several days.

It wasn't until 3 days later that there was finally a move on the other side.

On this day, under the reconnaissance of the eagle falcon, it was found that Huang Taiji had sent several teams of hundreds of people, scattered in all directions, preparing to find opportunities to cross the river in other places.

Although he didn't know what Huang Taiji wanted to do by sending so many small troops across the river, Chen Xin adhered to the concept that if the enemy wanted to do it, he must not let him succeed, and sent interceptors.
