Chapter 467 After suffering such a big loss, will Tartar give up?(2/2)
The Red Cannon is indeed very powerful and has amazing lethality, but its weakness is also fatal. That is, it is too heavy and difficult to move. The lightest Red Cannons are all over 4,000 kilograms, and some even exceed 10,000 kilograms. Not to mention, it takes at least one day to move from Dengzhou City to Huangxian. It is also very difficult to move the front line. It is not easy to move the artillery position.
To destroy the city wall, the Red Barbarian cannon must use solid bullets. It seems that the solid bullets the size of papaya hit the head of the city, and the destructive power is still very strong. If the Tartars want to kill on a large scale, they can only use mother-of-sub bullets, that is, grape bullets. However, the losses of grape bullets to the flying dragon cannon can basically be ignored. The flying dragon cannon is cast from steel, and ordinary marbles hit on it will not have much impact. As for the personnel... Didn't Zhang Zhun dig a hole for the Tibetan soldiers?
Considering the reason for accidentally hurting one's own people, when the Tartars' vanguard approached the city wall, the red cannons either extended the range or stopped shooting. At this time, the soldiers of the artillery battalion could come up from the Tibetan soldiers' cave and continue firing the cannon. A fierce grape bullet landed in the middle of the Tartars, just giving the Tartars a wake-up call.
"very good!"
"Treat this first!"
"If there is a better way in the future, continue to improve!"
Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.
The response method of the artillery battalion is basically the same as the artillery tactics in later generations. Using this method may result in a small number of flying dragon cannons, but the safety of personnel is basically guaranteed. As long as there are people and cannons, it will be much more difficult for the Tartars to approach the city walls of Huang County.
After Xu Ziwen and Liu Chenzi left, Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and looked at the field eastward. At this time, it was already evening and the night was vast. A wave of night wind blew from the sea, blowing away the heat of the day and blowing away the suffocating smell of blood. About one hundred miles east of Huang County was Dengzhou City. I wonder what the reaction would Dorgon, who claimed to be resourceful, would have been?
"bring it on!"
Zhang Zhun stretched his waist hard and then rubbed his temples. Zhang Zhun was still very excited when he got a good start in the battle with the Tartars. However, the next battle would be even more difficult, so he certainly did not dare to take it lightly. However, Zhang Zhun was also full of confidence in the upcoming battle. No matter how many people came to the Tartars, he would continue in Huang County!
"Huangxian!"
Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.
"arrive!"
Huang Xian, who was quietly slipping past Zhang Zhun, hurriedly stood at attention.
Zhang Zhun looked at him with a straight face, with a serious look on his face.
Huang Xian suddenly felt guilty and didn't know where he was doing something wrong.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhun suddenly showed his face, smiled and nodded, and praised, "It's a good job."
Huang Xian then breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Thank you for your praise!"
He turned around in a hurry.
Zhang Zhun shook his head, Huang Xian... Can you shoot twice when the battle ends?
"Liu Mang!"
"Brother Wei!"
Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.
"arrive!"
"arrive!"
Liu Mang and Brother Wei, who were also sneakingly trying to sneak past Zhang Zhun, hurriedly stood at attention and saluted.
"Liu Mang, how many Tartars were killed?"
Zhang Zhun asked casually.
"Three white-armored soldiers, two red-armored soldiers were killed, and three other Tartars."
Liu Mang said hurriedly.
"Where is Brother Wei?"
Zhang Zhun nodded and asked again.
"One more red armored soldier than Liu Mang."
Brother Wei replied with a smile.
Zhang Zhun turned his head to look at Liu Mang, his eyes a little strange.
Liu Mang suddenly became unnatural, and his premature face turned red rarely.
Brother Wei explained with a smile beside him, "He missed the first shot, and he made up for one shot."
