(0734) At the forefront was none other than Ming'an Belle's eldest son, Igduqi. The speed of the war horse under his crotch was so fast that he looked like an arrow from a string. He was supposed to have guards around him, and they tried to keep him in the middle as much as possible to avoid him being attacked by the enemy. As a result, the speed of their horses was not good, and they were all thrown away by Igduqi.

Igduqi didn't know that on the side of the white-clothed army, there were already several snipers targeting. An obvious target like him is often the preferred target for snipers. It's just that his movement speed is really fast, and the snipers of the white-clothed army are not sure, so they have not fired any shots. Otherwise, as soon as a shot passes, he is dropped from the horse.

Xu Xingxia's telescope also kept moving with Igduqi's war horse. The distance between Igduqi and the White Army was less than five hundred meters, but there was no shot from the snipers of the White Army. This can only illustrate one problem, which is the lack of confidence of the sniper. A qualified sniper will not reluctantly shoot when he is not confident. Because, I am not confident enough, and the bullets fired will definitely miss the target.

There is no way, the time for the Han-style rifle to come out is too short, and the training of snipers takes too much time. The development of a sniper, in addition to a large number of bullets, takes a lot of time. The most talented snipers also need to train hard for more than three years before their level can gradually stabilize. Otherwise, it's just a flash in the pan. The appearance of the Han-style rifle was only less than half a year. Therefore, it is true that no sniper has been able to do this by shooting a lethal shot at a high-speed moving target at a distance of four or five hundred meters.

Liu Chuang also regretfully put down the binoculars. His marksmanship is not good. He has no talent for shooting and cannot become a sniper, so he can only pin his hopes on his subordinates. It's a pity that his subordinates don't seem to have any particularly outstanding figures, so they can only watch Igduqi move swaggering across the wilderness with such an obvious target, without concealment, but there is no way to knock him to the ground with a single shot.

However, Yun Qifeng was eager to try, thinking about what to do in order to kill this showy Igduqi with one shot. He was more than seventy percent sure that the first shell would drop and he would be able to kill Igduqi. It's a pity that the mortars under his command are all secret weapons and need to play the greatest role. If it is launched in advance, it will alarm the Dajin army and the Mongols, and then the gains will outweigh the losses. Xu Xingxia had to let him take off his military uniform.

At that time, the high-level of the Dajin Kingdom, as well as the high-level of the Mongols, were watching nervously from behind. They all pinned their hopes on the Mongols, and naturally they suffered from gains and losses. However, their nervousness quickly dissipated. Because, the attack of the Mongol cavalry is getting closer and closer to Yangguan Fort, and it has basically shortened to a distance of less than 100 zhang. If there were no accidents, they would have crashed directly into the walls of Yangguan Fort. Tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry swarmed up, and no matter how strong the defense of Yangguan Fort was, it could not stop the attack of the white-clothed army.

Behind the Mongolian cavalry, the artillerymen of the Han army flag also held torches and lit the fuse of the cannon at any time.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Suddenly, some muffled voices came.

This is the mortar of the White Army, which is finally in full bloom.

The high-level officials of the Dajin Kingdom, as well as the high-level of the Mongols, thought it was their own artillery at the beginning, and opened fire without an order, and were about to arrest a few people and cut off their heads to show the public. Firing artillery without an order is simply the opposite, do you think you are still working for the Ming Dynasty? It's okay to mess around. As a result, when I turned my head, it was not the Han army flag that was firing artillery at all.

When I was wondering, dozens of black spots in the sky swept by like lightning, and one after another mortar shells continued to pour down on the artillery positions of the prisoners. In an instant, the entire artillery position of Jianyu was plunged into a dazzling firelight. The sound of continuous explosions came, and the sky and the earth were suddenly gloomy.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Those artillerymen of the Han army flag were immediately completely stunned.

God, what is this? Why is the fire so bright in front of your eyes? So glaring? Hey? How did you fly on your own? Hey? How did he actually go to mid-air and look at everything on the ground condescendingly? Hey? How can I see my legs getting farther and farther away from me...... Delusions like these quickly turn into darkness.

In the violent explosion, a large number of Han army flag soldiers were blown to pieces. The wreckage of their limbs was blown straight into the sky, and then fell heavily. In some places where the explosions were more intense, the stumps and broken arms that were blown away actually flew more than a dozen feet away. In the vicinity of the landing point of the mortar shell, it is absolutely impossible to preserve an intact corpse. If you can basically keep the main torso of your body, you are already quite lucky.

The Han army flags that were also fiercely shelled by the white-clothed army before, these veritable Han annihilations, this time they definitely tasted the taste of the iron fist of revenge. The torches in their hands were all frightened to the ground before the shells began to explode. Their cannons, covered by the mortars of the White Army, have long been a pile of waste. Many Han Jians were lying on the ground and did not dare to move anymore.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The explosion of mortar shells, more and more violent.

Compared with the Franc machine artillery, the mortar fires much faster.

Yun Qifeng and others have raised the firing speed of mortars to the limit. This shell had just been discharged, and over there, another shell had fallen into the barrel. The shell over there hadn't hit the ground and exploded, and another shell had been fired from here. As a result, in the sky, several shells chased after me, and the scene was very spectacular.

Due to the extremely high rate of fire, the artillery battalion, with only forty-eight mortars, looked as if there were hundreds of guns. The shells continued to be fired one after another, and the originally piled up shells were quickly exhausted. The soldier in charge of firing the cannon reloaded the mortar like crazy. And the fighters who were responsible for carrying the shells hurriedly accelerated the supply of shells to ensure that such a high rate of fire could be maintained all the time.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, inside the Yangguan Fort, a dazzling fire erupted, followed by an earth-shattering loud noise. Xu Xingxia, Liu Chuang and others hurriedly raised their binoculars and looked towards the place where the fire broke out. However, a mortar was fired too fast, and it may have been reloaded with shells, and as a result, it exploded.

The martyrdom of the two mortars was extremely powerful, and all the five white-clothed soldiers around the mortars were killed. Yun Qifeng was only about fifteen zhang away from the exploding mortar at that time, and the powerful shock wave also knocked him to the ground. Luckily, he lay on the ground for a while and then jumped up. Pat the dust off your body and you'll be fine.

However, the other warriors were not as lucky as him. As a result of the detonation of this mortar, two nearby mortars were also affected. The soldiers who were fighting the cannon were basically wounded. Fortunately, he was not killed on the spot. The alternate gunners hurriedly dragged them all down, and at the same time came up to replace them, and continued to fire at the target.

Xu Xingxia rushed to the scene of the explosion and quickly determined that the explosion was caused by repeated ammunition reloading. It is estimated that the fighter of the cannon forgot for a while whether the shell in front of him was out of the chamber or not, so he stuffed a new shell into it. As a result, tragedy struck. For the time being, this is unavoidable. He could only comfort the other artillery fighters and keep them motivated to continue destroying the enemy.

In fact, the rest of the artillery fighters were not affected too much. They still fired at the enemy quickly, efficiently, and accurately. At the moment of the great enemy, this little accident is nothing. If you are afraid of death, you will not come to be a soldier. However, Xu Xingxia had to think about how to improve the technology of the mortar to prevent the tragedy from continuing to happen.

From a technical point of view, these mortars researched by the White Clothes Army only have the most basic functions, and various other auxiliary functions are not available for the time being. For example, the setting to prevent reloading is not available yet. Therefore, in the process of using mortars, the most feared thing is the occurrence of shell reloading. There are many reasons for duplicate reloading, and it is impossible to list them all. The human factor, the equipment factor, are mixed in.

However, one thing is certain, and that is that the rate of fire of mortars is indeed too fast. At the fastest, it can even reach the speed of one shell per second. Under normal conditions, it is also possible to reach a speed of one shell per two seconds. With such a high speed of shooting, it is normal for mistakes to occur. And it is inevitable that the fighters of the cannonball, due to the stimulation of various factors on the battlefield, forget whether the shells are out of the chamber. Therefore, the human factor is unreliable. Specialized techniques must be developed to prevent tragedies.

"What's going on inside Yangguan Castle?" Abatai asked curiously.

The high-level leaders of the Dajin Army, who were watching the battle in the back, all noticed the strong fire that erupted from the Yangguan Fort. Such a fire, inferred from their experience, should have been the one emitted when the ammunition depot exploded. In the past, when the ammunition depot of the Ming army exploded, there were similar fires. Therefore, they all optimistically speculated that there should be some reason for the explosion of the ammunition depot of the White Army. This is definitely a good thing for the Dajin Army.

"Perhaps, it's time for us to really get started." Amin muttered to himself.

"If the whites run out of ammunition, they're really finished." Tabai and others are also full of expectations. The firearms of the white-clad army are powerful. Firearms, on the other hand, require ammunition support. If the firearms of the White Coats were depleted of ammunition, they would be useless. They couldn't help but thank Immortal Heaven. Perhaps, the future of Dajin Country is finally saved.
