Chapter 1069: Heavy Artillery
Guazhou, after a day and a night of bloody battles, Gao Jie's Qin army has run out of oil by now. [There are almost all the popular books I want to read.,It's much more stable than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] ]--
Except for the side of the Yangtze River, the entire old camp can be said to be attacked from three sides. Among them, the main direction of attack of the enemy army in Jiazhuang in the north was the hardest and most brutal
。 As many reinforcements go up, they will be used up.
Now all the troops have been dispatched, and only a hundred or so cavalry soldiers remain.
The total has begun, and it is impossible to think about it except for fighting on horseback himself.
In front of him is the group charge of Jiannu, in addition to the black pressure of the people's 'tide', it is still the people's 'tide'.
The two armies fought for twelve hours without sleep, and completely fought a real fire.
It's close, three hundred steps, and it's now.
Gao Jie was about to loosen the tight reins and let the horse rush out.
At this time, someone shouted with all his strength: "The ship ——— reinforcements, the Ningxiang army is coming!" ”
Gao Jie turned his head sharply, and he saw a large fleet on the great river to the east.
Never seen so many boats, never seen before.
It was as if the fleet had suddenly leapt out of the background of a white mist, and in an instant, the entire wide Yangtze River was filled with masts and sails.
There were too many, the fleet stretched for more than ten miles, and there was no end in sight, and the few ships led by it were amazingly large. Each one is a hundred steps long, three zhang high, standing in the middle of the water, like a towering boulder, like a moving island. Around several large boats are countless sampans, small boats, and speedboats, like stars holding the moon.
Although Gao Jie doesn't understand the navy, he also knows how much money is needed to spend such a huge fleet, and Sun Yuan's navy is only afraid that it will consume the total income of the Ming Dynasty for two or three years, right?
In front of such a huge fleet, not to mention the Qin army, even the imposing Jiannu is so small compared to it.
He was completely shocked, and he tugged at the reins in a daze, unable to say a word, forgetting to charge.
"The ship ---- reinforcements, the Ningxiang Army is here!" The man was still shouting.
"Hooray, hooray!" The horsemen jumped off their horses, took off their helmets and threw them into the sky, hugged each other and shouted, shouting and shouting, and tears fell.
They were the fiercest warriors in the Qin army, and before that, they knew that they would die in this battle
。 [Marshmallow updates quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few ads, no pop-ups, I like this kind of website the most, I must praise it] They are not afraid of death, as long as death is worthwhile, and their commander is still at the forefront.
But now, not only can you win without sacrificing, what could be more exciting?
Perhaps they didn't know how powerful the warship's cannons were, and how devastating they were. But the fierceness of the Ningxiang Army on the battlefield has been personally experienced, and the name of the first army in the world is enough to explain everything.
With so many large ships in front of you, based on the calculation of 100 people per boat, this is already an army of 10,000 people. With more than 10,000 Ningxiang troops, who can resist it?
Jiannu's infantry cluster was still advancing, but the Qin cavalry regarded it as nothing, still cheering and jumping, like crazy.
At this time, the terrifyingly large warship of the Ningxiang Army on the river suddenly opened its porthole, pushed out the cannon of one 'door' after another' 'door' and 'black' hole, and fiercely pointed at the river bank.
At this time, Gao Jie came back to his senses and shouted: "The Ningxiang Army is going to fight 'artillery', go back!" Then he turned the horse's head and ran with all his might.
……
At this moment, on the river and the Zhenyuan ship, the air has frozen. All the sails have been lowered and the command flag has been raised. One 'gate' after another, the cannon stretched out, pointing at the 'tide' of the black and slimy people on the shore.
The officers and men of the navy were all sweating profusely, and they didn't know whether it was hot or nervous.
On the ocean, I have never seen a big war of any scale. But this is the first time they have seen such a crowd of people charging in front of them. Tens of thousands of horses waved countless flags, and the shouts were earth-shattering, just like the wild bees that blew up their nests, and the eyes of the people were 'dazzled' and 'chaotic', and a layer of 'chicken' skin pimples suddenly appeared on their bodies.
Someone shouted: "Commander Fang, open fire, the Qin army can't stand it." Amitabha, the Buddha blessed the Qin army. ”
Everyone's eyes fell on the commander of the Combined Fleet
。
Dafang was still wearing his black 'colored' priest's robe, which symbolized 'sex', and a cross was hung from his 'chest'. At this time, he was kneeling on the deck, holding the cross with both hands and praying for something.
Everyone knew that Commander Fang hated being disturbed the most when he prayed, but the situation in front of him was so tense that it made people's hearts rise to their throats.
Fortunately, Fang Wei had already completed the prayer ceremony, he stood up, drew a cross in front of his 'chest', and said lightly: "Don't worry, the victory will be ours after all." The heavy guns of Zhenyuan, Weiyuan, and Chaoyuan were ordered to fire a salvo first, suppressing the advance speed of the Jiannu infantry group and separating them from Guazhou with firepower. Remember, this round of salvo 'shooting' must be accurate, and it must be the first to win the people, and not to fall into the prestige of our navy. Let's start, God bless the Ningxiang Army! ”
"Fire!"
As soon as the words ended, the three arsenal ships, each with two 'cannons', four 'guns' long guns, ten 'half' long guns and four 'falcon' guns, a total of eighty 'guns' heavy guns spat out the projectiles in the barrels at the same time.
Huge flames connected on the side of the warship, like a wall of fire.
Everyone clearly felt that the Spanish galleon, which was so huge and mountainous, was actually pushed sideways by one meter by this powerful recoil.
The 'flesh' can be seen that before the big ship, the river water under the mouth of the artillery fire was instantly concave into a semi-circular arc by the impact 'wave'.
The ears were full of buzzing roar, and the whole warship seemed to be unable to withstand the tremendous force, the deck creaked 'chaotically', and the cables flew all over the sky.
Cannon, the shell weighs twenty-four pounds, the gun weighs five thousand four hundred pounds, and the length is one hundred and thirty inches.
Long guns, shells weighing sixteen pounds, guns weighing four thousand three hundred pounds, length one hundred and forty inches.
Half-length guns, shells weighing eleven pounds, guns weighing three thousand pounds, a length of one hundred and thirty inches.
The falcon cannon weighed seven pounds with shells, and the gun weighed two thousand pounds and had a length of eighty inches.
This is the real heavy artillery, and the army cannon is just a little brother compared to the naval artillery.
……
Naval artillery and infantry artillery are fundamentally two different concepts
。
At this moment, Jiannu's infantry brigade had advanced to a distance of two hundred steps from Gao Jie, which seemed to be very wide, but it was negligible for the artillerymen.
Gao Jie shouted, and everyone also woke up, and at the same time turned around and ran wildly.
I couldn't run a step or two when the cannon sounded, so loud, it was as if a gunpowder depot had been ignited and exploded. Immediately, the cannonballs slashed through the sky, and the cracking sound seemed as if the sky had been torn open countless holes.
Gao Jie had long heard that Ningxiang's firearms were sharp, especially the navy, but he hadn't seen them with his own eyes. At this time, he couldn't help but glance behind him, but saw that countless flames exploded in the enemy group. Those invincible Jiannu were torn apart like paper figures, blown into the sky by a powerful impact.
It's amazing!
While being surprised, Gao Jie was glad in his heart: Fortunately, this cannon was accurately fired and did not fall to my side, otherwise these more than 100 horses would really be lost here.
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Gao Jie's vest seemed to be hit by an invisible sledgehammer.
Even the men and horses fell forward.
This fall made him dizzy, his internal organs kept churning, and he actually suffered internal injuries, which were not too serious.
At this time, the shouts of soldiers and the angry neighing of war horses were heard next to him, Gao Jie turned his head to look, but saw that the more than 100 horsemen who had just charged with him looked very embarrassed. Some sat on the ground dumbfounded, while others lay on their horses and their bodies tossed up and down with the mad horses. All of them were dusty and smoky, as if the black stove god had just come out of the stove.
Some people were so shocked that blood oozed from their mouths and noses.
"Can it be overturned by the air 'waves' from such a distance?" Gao Jie is such a smart person, he immediately understood the principle of this, and he was shocked in his heart, "How powerful is this?" ”
A row of cannons was followed by a volley of 'fire', still covered by heavy artillery.
From here, it is obvious that the three large warships, which are as big as small hills, are shaking violently, and one fears that they will fall apart under the effect of the recoil force in the next moment. The three large ships moved sideways violently on the water, and in the eruption of flames, the surface of the water was blown up by the storm that was "excited" in the muzzle of the cannon, and the "waves" surged towards the shore layer by layer
。
In the flickering firelight, a large amount of white 'colored' smoke filled the air, instantly enveloping the three big ships, faintly faint, like a giant dragon in myths and legends.
Dozens of shells fell into the crowd of Jiannu, and the continuous volcano erupted, and there was no human body wreckage and blood in sight, but only the black 'colored' soil and stagnant water in the rice fields that were turned up by the explosion, and they soared into the sky. A large pit several meters deep appears on the ground like bamboo between the plum 'flowers'. The projectiles flew sideways, and the air was full of urgent roars, tearing out wisps of white 'colored' smoke, like countless scythes of death, cutting down clumps of Jiannu like ears of grain in autumn.
The sound of the cannon was so loud that it shook everyone and lost the possibility of reacting. The slaves stood on the wilderness and were brought down in clumps.
After the two rounds of 'fire', in addition to the three large ships, the five surprisingly large ships that followed behind also joined them, and then the naval guns on the other ships also began to roar with joy.
On the Yangtze River, all the ships have flickering fires, flickering and dark, continuously.
Countless shells glided through the sky, and the trajectory was dense and clearly visible.
At this moment, at least hundreds of shells shot into the air.
The hell below has become a hell of fire, and the formation of Jiannu is so dense that every shell that falls will easily harvest a few, or even a dozen lives.
Under such fire, human beings seem so small.
Gao Jie was completely 'lost' under the violent force of this kind of capitalism in the budding period on the eve of the industrial revolution, which is the real overturning of the river and the sea!
He stared wide-eyed at the invincible Jiannu in the past who were invincible all over the world being easily torn to pieces, and there was only one voice in his head: "Under this kind of shelling, what army can resist, is the Ningxiang army really strong to this extent?" Compared with the Ningxiang Army, what are the Qin Army and Jiannu? ”
In the shelling just now, the Yangzhou Navy at least threw tens of thousands of catties of steel on Jiannu's head. Looking at the posture, this kind of bombardment of 'spending' money like flowing water will continue, continue, continue, until Jiannu completely collapses.
How could they have so much steel, how could it be?
