"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Dozens of large iron balls weighing more than ten catties roared, and countless Ming soldiers were frightened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the loud noise, many chariots of the Ming army rumbled and collapsed, injuring dozens of people.

All kinds of stones tumbled down, and the Ming soldiers on the side could only let out desperate screams. To those who hit, there were only muffled noises and wails, and internal organs and blood continued to flow out of the pile of stones.

The shrill and piercing whistling of the cannons on the mountain still sounded like a kettle of boiling water when it was boiling and boiling terribly, it was the sound of death.

Boom, boom, more and more people in the Ming army were hit on the spot.

Later, a big iron ball of more than 20 catties rushed over on the mountain and went to the next level.

Even if you don't hit someone directly, you will hit a large amount of rubble after landing, and it will become a flying stone. Many soldiers of the Ming army were not hit by the rubble, but were also hit by large stones, and all of them sprayed blood, and the sound of broken bones was loud.

Countless Ming soldiers either lay down, ran back, or screamed, their eyes wide open, full of fear and incredulity. They are like ants on a hot pot, just scurrying around, but they feel that they can't find a safe place.

"Your Excellency is injured, bandage him quickly."

Yiming couldn't stop trembling, he covered his broken arm, and big drops of cold sweat fell from his forehead.

Hong Chengchou was also almost injured, and when the cannon at the bottom of the mountain stopped to rest and dissipate heat, he came back to his senses and observed his army. All of them are disgraced, many of them are drenched in blood, and they don't know where they were hit. It's really miserable!

Do you want to retreat?

He thought about it, but he was not willing. Think about it, even if hundreds of people died, but for an army of more than 30,000, it could still be eaten. As a result, Hong Chengchou ordered the army to continue to advance, and to speed up the advance.

He's not stupid, don't look at the cannons on the mountain to hit far, but you really get to the foot of the mountain, it's too close, and the cannons on the mountain can't hit you.

It's just that, apparently, Kong Youde on the mountain also thought of this.

So, while waiting for the heavy artillery to dissipate heat, he ordered the medium cannon and the small cannon to fire.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom sound immediately sounded again.

Hong Chengchou shouted angrily: "Hemp, here you go again!" ”

Rumble! Rumble! …… Rumble! Rumble! …… Rumble! Rumble! …… Rumble! Rumble! …… Rumble! Rumble! ……

Small cannons fire, the shells are not large, but scattered, and it is easier to hurt people.

The one who was tricked was splashed in the dust, and there was a large stream of blood mist. Screaming!

The lower half of the soldier's body was broken, but he did not die for a while. He crawled on the ground in agony, letting out a heart-rending wail.

Large and small shells jumped indiscriminately, and under the mountain were the unlucky men of the Ming army who were rolled in the shells, broke their hands and feet, and desperately screamed for help to the people around them. The line of defense is in shambles!

For a while, don't look at the large number of Ming troops.

At this time, they are either frightened and running around. Either the face is like ashes and the eyes are glazed. Many people sit at a loss, or huddle in a corner, chanting words in their mouths, not knowing which gods or Buddhas to pray to, or resign themselves to fate.

Sure enough, if you are not afraid that the enemy is strong, you are afraid that the enemy will be able to martial arts.

This also learned to use thermal weapons, and learned to defend the city of the Houjin soldiers, once born, was originally stronger than the average Ming army. Now the combat power has increased in a straight line!

The wounded Ming soldiers at the foot of the mountain wailed one after another, looking at this scene, Hong Chengchou's face couldn't help but tremble, he suddenly screamed, and shouted: "Jiang Nu's cannon, what a bastard, when I reach the bottom of the mountain, I will set up a cannon array, I will definitely pay back!" ”

Finally, the artillery positions on the hill fell silent.

In the end, the artillery used by Kong Youde is still the level of science and technology of the current era, which is far inferior to the modern products that Zhu Zilong opened.

It was only half an hour of fighting, and whether it was a large cannon or a small cannon, it could only rest.

When the smoke slowly cleared, both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties took out their binoculars to watch carefully. One side has a smile on his face, and the other side has a gritted tooth on his face.

Finally, the Ming army reached the bottom of the mountain.

At this distance, the artillery on the mountain basically can't hit, and it is a test of technology, and it can only be attacked by the Ming army to hit people.

And Lao Hong seems to want to take revenge, and he will not attack immediately. But it was an order to let the artillery regiment start preparing for a thunder artillery counterattack through the mountains and ground!

The thunder cannon is made of bronze, four feet long, five liters of medicine, and three catties of lead. Or made of iron, like the mouth of a bowl, holding one liter of medicine, half a catty of lead. The smoke and flames are fierce, the sound is like a huge thunder, the trees are frightened, and the people and horses encounter it, and the blow is like smashing. It must be used according to the appropriate terrain, invincible and unbreakable, and those who have no success are also.

The medicine is issued first, then the magic medicine is given, and then the lead is placed. Five liters of French medicine, three liters of tubes.

In fact, it is the meaning of alternative mortars!

Mortar is a kind of smoothbore gun with a short barrel (the ratio of caliber to barrel length is usually less than 1:12 to 1:13), a large angle of fire, low muzzle velocity, and a high arc trajectory; Its firing range is short, the projectile is powerful, and it is mainly used to destroy strong fortifications.

Because of its short and thick cannon body and similar shape to a Chinese stone mortar, it is called "mortar cannon" in Chinese. Small-caliber, portable mortars were later developed into mortars.

That is, the ancestors of modern mortars!

Mortars first appeared in the 13th century and were often used to fire stone projectiles.

Like the Hongyi cannon, the mortar also uses a four-wheeled gun mount, but it does not need to be fixed by piling. You can use solid bullets, you can also use flowering bullets, of course, the Ming Dynasty people may not know what flowering bullets are.

Soon, with the idea of revenge, the gunners of the Ming Army's Shenji Battalion were ready.

They set the firing range of the mortar cannon and adjusted the artillery degree, which is basically the same as the Hongyi cannon, but the elevation angle of the mortar cannon is higher. The ammunition hand then took out a propellant bag, put it into the chamber, and filled it with some dirt, about one or two inches thick. Another layer of wet soil was separated, and finally the muzzle of the cannon was sealed with wax.

Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former battalion of the Shenji Battalion, took a deep breath and shouted to the commander of the artillery battalion: "Fire!" ”

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The Ming soldiers immediately lit the fuse, and the slightest sound sounded.

Next minute, tom! Tom, tom, tom, tom, tom! Tom, tom, tom, tom, tom!

In the dull sound, finally, the muzzles of the large-caliber mortar cannons spewed out large puffs of smoke and fire. One by one, the poisonous smoke bombs and solid bullets flew out of the cannon body and rushed towards the position on the mountain of the Qing army.

Immediately, the Qing soldiers on the mountain realized what it meant to be called thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river.

Dozens of nearly 100 huge round artillery shells under the mountain rumbled and landed in front of and behind the Qing army's defense line, smashing heavily on the ground and injuring people everywhere.

On the mountain, regardless of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Korean soldiers were all screaming.
