Chapter 21 One Surprise for Jiannu

And those Ming people, at this time, also saw the fire from the position of the Yu family's army, heard the rumbling cannon, many people closed their eyes in pain, only to wait for the shells to fall on their heads in the next moment, tearing them to pieces.

But they waited for a while, but they didn't find that any shells fell in their crowd, but they heard a scream of surprise from the crowd of Jiannu soldiers behind them, and turned their heads to look, but saw a commotion in Jiannu behind them, and then someone realized that something didn't seem to be right.

"Look, the cannonballs hit the Jiannu crowd! Look! Some of the brave ones in the crowd had not closed their eyes, and had been observing the trajectory of the cannonballs flying through the air, and when they saw a cannonball flying over their heads and finally landing in the group of Jiannu soldiers behind them, they immediately cried out in ecstasy.

These people hurriedly turned their heads to look, but many people behind saw that many shells smashed into the group of Jiannu's soldiers, beating many Jiannu into flesh and blood, and tearing these Jiannu to pieces in an instant.

The common people are dead anyway, but they are not too scared at this time, and many people actually made a cheering voice.

Jiannu was shelled like this at this time, angry and afraid, there was no place to spill it, and when he heard the sound of applause from the people of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, he was angry to death, and immediately raised his sword and gun at the same time, and killed some of the people who walked at the end on the spot, in order to vent the anger in their hearts.

Yu Xiaotian stood on the lookout platform in the army, always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield with a telescope, and when he saw that most of the shells had successfully fallen into the enemy group, he put down the binoculars, smashed the wooden railing in front of him with his fist and shouted: "Okay! Just hit it like that! Well played! Swap out the bullets! Keep calling me! ”

His order was instantly conveyed in the form of a flag, and the officers on the artillery position received the order and immediately ordered: "All of them, four hundred paces!" Swap out the bullets! Keep loading and give Lao Tzu a hard beating! ”

At this time, the artillerymen who had completed the first round of shelling had already pushed the retreating guns back to the gun positions, and the gunners were flying at a speed, methodically extinguishing the remaining sparks in the gun chambers, cleaning the gun chambers, and preparing for reloading.

After receiving the order, the gunner, who was responsible for selecting the type of ammunition, immediately responded loudly, quickly took out the flowering shells from the ammunition box in front of the gun mount, and handed them to the gunner in charge of loading.

The gunners shouted loudly, ordering the gunners to adjust the muzzle elevation angle, calibrate the firing distance, and the ammunition pack was quickly loaded into the bore and pushed to the bottom of the bore......

With the officer's roar, the second round of shelling soon began on the artillery position of the Yu family's army, one by one the flowering shells pulled the smoke, whistling and flying out of the cannon chamber, crossing arcs in the air, crossing the heads of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and finally smashed into the crowd of Jiannu again, killing dozens of people in an instant.

There was a sudden sound of exclamation and angry scolding among the Jiannu soldiers, don't take such a play, obviously your Ming people are in front, how can you turn a blind eye and fight Lao Tzu specifically? How did the gunners of the Yu family army do this? They really can't figure it out, but the fact is here, people's cannons seem to have eyes, not to hit the people of the Ming Dynasty, but to hit these Jiannu hiding behind the people, and there is no way for these Jiannu to stare dryly.

But before their angry scolding landed, Yu Jiajun gave them a huge surprise, those second batch of shells that fell into their crowd, more than half of which were more than half, after landing for a moment, suddenly let out a roar, and exploded and blossomed directly in the enemy group.

Large pieces of shrapnel whistled and flew through the crowd, flying shrapnel, whirling and cutting everything they could touch along the way, every shell exploded, and a clearing would be cleared in the group of Jiannu soldiers, and in an instant, some of the surrounding slave soldiers would be swept away, and the flesh and blood would fall to the ground.

This kind of flowering bomb is a novelty for the uninformed Jiannu, and they can't figure out why this round iron lump will explode after it falls to the ground, and it can actually blow them up, so Jiannu's soldiers suddenly became even more agitated.

In order to avoid these terrible explosive shells, some Jiannu had to quickly evacuate the formation, and as soon as these shells hit the ground, they exploded one by one.

In fact, the actual explosive power of these flowering bombs is not large, the thickness of the projectile body cast by the spherical grenade itself is very large, and the thickness is uneven, and the power of black powder is small, even if it is a granular gunpowder, it is definitely not able to catch up with the most ordinary high explosives, so when it explodes, there are many fragments, and sometimes there are even a lot of blind fires, even if it is an explosion, there will be more than one and two halves.

But even so, for the general Jiannu slave soldiers, this is still shocking enough, even if they are swept by the air waves, they will be scared to the core, it is normal to think about it, even if the future generations will amplify the thunder during the New Year, if they collapse not far away, it will also shock people's ears and startle a lot, not to mention these slave soldiers who have never seen a big scene in this era?

Therefore, the actual lethality effect of these flowering bombs is not as good as people think, but the psychological shock caused by it far exceeds their own lethality, blowing up Jiannu to the ground, and involuntarily trying to disperse towards the wings and dare not squeeze behind the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the accuracy of artillery in this era is limited, and some shells fell into the crowd of people, killing and injuring a small number of people, so it also affected the people in front of them, making them involuntarily spread to both sides.

As soon as Jiannu saw the commotion of the crowd of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and some people ran to both sides, he immediately rushed out some cavalry, rushed to both sides of the crowd of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and slashed indiscriminately, encircling these people again, forcing them to go in the front direction.

In this way, the Jiannu army withstood the shelling of the Yu family's army, and at the same time drove the people of the Ming Dynasty forward, slowly pressing towards the defense line of the Yu family's army.

When they entered a distance of about two hundred paces, on the left and right sides of the two brigade lines of the home army, the top marksmen who had been waiting for a long time finally received orders.

The officer suddenly roared: "Aim at the Jiannu on both sides, and hit Lao Tzu!" ”

This time, instead of firing a salvo of fire, the musketeers lay down on the chest wall in front of them, put their wolf tooth rifles on the chest wall, adjusted the ruler, and began to point the crosshair with the gap, and took careful aim.

When they realized that they had firmly trapped a Jiannu general, they chose their own opportunity to fire, and only listened to the two flanks of the front, and a scattered but dense musket sounded.

The sound of popping muskets rang out one after another, and small puffs of gunpowder smoke rose from the two wings of the Yujia army's front, and at first such sporadic shooting did not attract the attention of Jiannu, but soon they found that things were not as simple as they thought.

Because of the Jiannu who were bombarded by flowering shells, they unconsciously evacuated the formation, and some of their generals gradually emerged from both sides of the crowd of the Ming people who blocked them, and in order to block the people of the Ming Dynasty from fleeing on both sides, there were also a group of Jiannu soldiers who ran back and forth on both wings of the people's crowd, controlling the people and only moving forward.

So these people have become the target of these Yujia Army's top shooters, don't look at these shooters shooting scattered, there is no sense of shock like platoon shooting, but they use the method of accurate aiming and shooting, and completely pursue the accuracy of single shots.

Once the fire was fired, the outcropping Jiannu slave soldiers on both wings were quickly shot one after another and fell to the ground, a distance of two hundred paces, which is the distance at which the wolf's tooth rifle can give full play to its power, and it is quite difficult for ordinary musketeers to accurately hit a target the size of a human at this distance, and it is also a moving target.

But this time all the top shooters who were drawn out were the top shooters in the various companies of the Yu family army, and these top shooters were all sharpshooters, although there were not many of them, but they were very good at shooting, and the shooting accuracy was very high.

After a short while, the Jiannu on both sides found that the people around them snorted one after another, or screamed and fell to the ground, and they were stunned for a while at first, but when they found that more and more people were knocked over, they realized what had happened.

That's nearly 200 paces! They didn't dare to imagine that Yu Jiajun's musket could shoot so far, and it could shoot so accurately, as if they were named, shooting them one by one on the way forward.

So the Jiannu soldiers were suddenly frightened, and hurriedly gathered in the middle to hide behind the crowd of the Ming people.

At this time, Jiannu had already discovered that these Yu family soldiers really cherished these Ming people, whether they were firing or shooting, they actually tried to avoid these Ming people and singled them out to attack the Qing soldiers.

This can make the Jiannu angry, Lao Tzu finally came up with this way, but they still couldn't stand these Yu family soldiers to shoot them, so they had to desperately drive these people, towards the Yu family army front, many of them secretly thought, since you are reluctant to kill these Ming people, then let's see, when these people rush to you, you will not kill or not.

The Jiannu cavalry, who had originally dispersed on both flanks, also began to disperse after being knocked over by some people, and they all hid behind the crowd of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
