"One-shot load, ready!"

"Put!" A Red Banner Officer of the Han Army holding a small golden dragon triangular flag in his hand waved the flag fiercely

At this moment, on the high fu of the west 'gate' of Yangzhou, a small fortress has been formed. Huge camphor trees were cut down and used as materials to accumulate layer by layer, and they were covered with yellow mud.

A 'door' of red-coated cannons trembled violently, and a huge cloud of white 'color' smoke rose from the muzzle of the cannon, instantly enveloping the fortress.

I couldn't understand it in front of me, and I couldn't see it clearly, but in my ears there was the huge roar of a cannonball breaking through the air.

Duoduo, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming, the two commanders of the Han army, stood in front of the cannon, and the Han army's firearms unit finally arrived on the battlefield.

In order to understand the effect of the red-coated cannon, a siege weapon, in actual combat, Duoduo decided to come and test the cannon himself.

That's right, this highland is the ancestral tomb of Jiang 'Yin' Li Eun. It is the strategic commanding height of this place. Standing here, the small half of Yangzhou City is in full view. With a cannon on the set, you can easily smash the cannonball on the head of the defenders. As an experienced general, how did Duoduo not know the importance of this place.

When he first hit the city of Yangzhou, he thought about catching this point at his own hands. Of course, Duoduo also knew that the Ming army in the city was not stupid, and would definitely build a small city here to defend it. Therefore, Duoduo was also mentally prepared to storm this place and pay a certain price.

But it turns out that Shi Kefa is a stupid person, and he didn't put a single soldier here, and he gave up this to each other.

He was so interesting, and Duoduo was not polite. Immediately occupy the place, and in a day and a night, all the trees on the hill will be cut down, and the earth will be taken to build a wall. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to Marshmallow]

This place is the ancestral tomb of the Li family, and at least hundreds of people are buried in it. Jiannu's acquisition of soil has ruined the grave. The bones of the dead were thrown everywhere, and at night, you could see a little fluorescence.

Poor Li family was still 'excited' at the beginning, and the Shi Pavilion Department was kind-hearted and did not disturb the tombs of their ancestors. But he didn't want to, but Shi Pavilion's kindness brought an unprecedented catastrophe to the ancestors.

The red-coated cannon was unexpectedly large, with a barrel three meters long and weighing more than 3,000 catties, because it was too heavy, and it needed six horses and more than 20 soldiers to pull it when marching. Therefore, it was not practical in field battles, and in the past, most of the Ming troops were placed on the city walls to defend the city. The shells of this kind of cannon weigh 10 to 20 catties, and the 'firing' range is extremely long, with a maximum range of an astonishing three miles and an effective 'firing' range of two li

。

Once such a heavy shell falls, it is devastating.

It's no wonder that when Yuan Manzi of the Ming Dynasty supervised Liaodong, he boasted that one shot went out and eroded ten miles.

Back then, Nurhachi, the old Han king of Jianzhou, was blown up by this powerful red-coated cannon.

During the Apocalypse, the Jianzhou Army suffered a lot of losses under the artillery of the Ming Army. Later, after Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others surrendered, the Manchus finally had their own artillery units.

Since the formation of the Jianzhou Army, the war against the Ming Dynasty has been an offensive and has been constantly attacking. Therefore, this red-coated cannon was used by them to siege the city.

Considering that this attack was on Yangzhou, a giant city with strong city defenses, Duoduo deliberately brought Kong Youde and others and the cannons in their hands.

The Manchurians started with archers and horses, and they were born with a psychological resistance to firearms, and felt that the troops who did not dare to engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield were cowards. Because of this, this is the first time that they have used artillery on a large scale on the battlefield. What the specific effect is, Duoduo still has no bottom in his heart. But thinking of the brutal and bloody siege of the city by the ants, he decided to give it a try.

For this reason, he ordered Kong Youde to 'spend' a night's work, using horse-drawn people to drag and 'get' a 'door' of large-caliber red-coated cannons.

With the sound of this cannon, I saw that the swarthy cannonball slashed in the air in a straight line and flew directly in front of the 'gate' of Yangzhou Xicheng in front.

I don't know if this cannon was due to luck or if the artillery's skills were too good, so it hit the city gate directly.

Only a "bang" was heard, and the huge solid iron bullet weighing an astonishing twenty catties and the fierce impact of the city 'gate' were heard. It was about the Ming army defending the city that had sealed the city 'gate' with sandbags. The 'gate' was not broken, but the 'flesh' was visible, and the entire tower trembled slightly, and pieces of dust rose like a great earthquake.

"Okay, it's so powerful!" Duoduo couldn't help but take a 'pump' of cold air, and used his hand to row the big wooden pole in front of him: "Kong Youde, you said, if you open the city 'gate', how many more cannons will you need?" ”

Kong Youde said: "It is said that under normal circumstances, ten cannons can be blasted. However, the 'gate' of the city has been sealed by Shi Kefa, and I don't know how many shells it will take to 'wave'. Therefore, in the following opinion, it is more convenient to directly collapse the city wall, that is, the situation of dozens of cannons. ”

Duoduo woke up: "Yes, yes, yes, it is most appropriate to directly collapse the city wall, and then let my Qing military horses rush in along the gap."

。 Come on, come on, try again. ”

"One-shot reload ready!" The artillery officer yelled again.

The artillerymen began to prepare in a hurry, clearing their chambers and pretending to 'shoot' and 'medicine', and they couldn't 'get it' for half a day.

The power of the red-coated cannon is not small, but the limitation 'sex' is also great. It is good at siege and clumsy in field battles, and the reload speed is too slow, and it can't come for half a day.

The power of this cannon just now was too great, and it had already alarmed the Ming army defending the west 'gate'. Looking over from here, I saw a group of Ming soldiers running up the city wall in a panic from the inside of the city tower and the city, there were gongs and drums sounding constantly, and the city was also lit with flames, which was the Ming army was making a fire to boil the lead juice used to defend the city.

Seeing the Ming army on the opposite side 'chaotic', Duoduo laughed cruelly, and pointed to the ant-like Ming Dynasty army on the city wall: "Kong Youde, come to the city wall with a cannon, and tell the Han dog to see how powerful my Qing military weapons are." ”

In front of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others, they took a "Han dog", which was simply pointing at the monk and scolding the thief, and the artillerymen had a 'gloomy' and gloomy 'color' on their faces, but Kong and Geng didn't seem to have listened, and shouted in unison: "The cannon is moved, and the target is the west 'gate' city wall!" ”

Hearing the order, the artillery officer put his head on the center of gravity at the rear end of the cannon, and there are cylindrical lugs on both sides, which can be used as an axis to adjust the angle of 'firing' and change the 'firing' range according to the amount of gunpowder. ”

The artillerymen first carried a bucket of water from the muzzle of the cannon to cool down, and then used a huge duster-shaped stalk to clean up the residue of the fire 'charge' for half a day, and then wiped it dry before loading the 'charge' for the second time. In this way, two hundred breaths have passed.

The officer measured and calculated for half a day, and another two hundred breaths passed.

Duoduo suddenly felt a little dissatisfied in his heart: this is too slow, and he can't 'shoot' a cannon for half a day, if on the battlefield, the enemy's cavalry has already rushed in front of him, no wonder the red-coated cannon can only be used to attack and defend the city.

At this time, the cannon took another step back and 'fired' a huge solid projectile.
