Chapter 268 Three-stage artillery strike

The road where the Ming army camp was located was narrow. Although the Later Jin army had a large number of troops, the troops could not be deployed. The Ming army launched an attack on the Ming army's positions along the narrow road. The Ming army only needed two cannons to shoot at a time, which could cause major casualties to the Later Jin army.

The six six-pound cannons were divided into three rounds of shooting, just like the three-stage attack of the bird gunner, and the cannon sound was tighter than the other round. After the six six-pound cannons were fired, two twelve-pound field cannons had been loaded, and the deafening sound of cannons was made again.

Seeing the "Red Cannon" roaring again, and two huge shells took away the lives of a large number of Jurchen warriors, Sahalian was shocked: "How could Minggou's Red Cannon be loaded so quickly?"

Sahalian personally went to welcome Kong Youde to the Great Jin Kingdom, and also saw the red cannon firing and loading. The red cannon is indeed very powerful, but the loading speed is very slow. After the shells are fired, water is poured in, the cannon chamber is cleaned, and the temperature is cooled down. After the cooling is completed, the cannon tail is lifted up, the muzzle is facing down, and the water is poured out. Then the cannon shells can be loaded. When loading, the three thousand or even five thousand kilograms of heavy cannons must be set up, with the muzzle facing the sky, poured the gunpowder in, and then a wooden board is stuffed in, and finally the shells are put into the cannon chamber, and then the cannon is flattened, and then the loading is completed. After this series of actions, even the gunner with a fast loading speed will take a cup of tea to complete the loading.

But the Ming army gunners on the opposite side were loading too fast? It was only less than 60 breaths, and the "Red Cannon" could actually carry out the second round of shooting! It was incredible.

Sahalian had just stopped when he heard the deafening sound of heavy artillery firing, and the crisp sound of medium-sized artillery firing sounded again.

"Minggou's general cannon is loading so fast? And why is the power of this general cannon so great?" Sahalian didn't know it was a six-pound bronze cannon, but he thought it was a general cannon.

The loading process of the general cannon is no less convenient than the red cannon. The general cannon that fires five or six pounds of shells is also weighing 2,000 kilograms. It can be completed in half a cup of tea, and the loading speed is already very fast.

Two twelve-pound field guns had been replaced with shrapnel. When the six-pound cannon fired three rounds, the vanguard of the Later Jin army had already rushed to the trench. A large number of Jin soldiers jumped into the trench and climbed up the sheep and horse wall with their hands and feet. When the black heads appeared from the sheep and horse wall, the two twelve-pound field guns made a deafening roar again. This time, the shrapnel bullets were fired. The two cannons sprayed fire at the same time. The rapidly expanding gunpowder gas drilled into the small hole at the tail of the shrapnel bullet, pressing the shell of the shrapnel bullet. When the shrapnel bullet flew out of the cannon chamber and flew for a distance in the air, the shell could not withstand the pressure and exploded, and the iron beads loaded in the shell were sprayed out like rain.

Iron Pearls came towards me like rain. The thick armor on the Later Jin soldiers was poked into holes like paper. The row of Later Jin soldiers in front were immediately beaten into hornets' nests and fell from the sheep and horse wall like dumplings. The corpses on the side of the sheep and horse wall were piled up in a blink of an eye.

The two field guns were fired and when the shells were loaded, two howitzers opened fire. The twelve-pound howitzers weighing only more than 200 kilograms spewed out flames, and the shotgun swept across the Later Jin army like a storm. This howitzer weighing only one-tenth of the twelve-pound field guns, the killing effect on the Later Jin army when firing shotgun is no less than the twelve-pound field guns.

Just now, Sahalian heard two "Red Cannons" shooting sounds, and saw the large-scale gold warriors swept over by shotguns as if they were killed by someone. Then he heard two more shooting sounds, and another large-scale gold warriors fell down. He was shocked and screamed in anxiety: "How many red cannons does Hangou have?"

Then the six-pound cannon fired shotguns, which was far less powerful than the twelve-pound field cannons and the twelve-pound cannons, but the six-pound cannons fired much faster. The shotguns spilled out rounds were tighter and almost never stopped for a moment, killing the bodies of the Later Jin army filled the open space between the first sheep and horse wall and the second trench.

"Fight to the death and never retreat! Those who retreat will be killed!" Sahalian shouted. He knew that even if he had finished fighting all the elite heavy cavalry of the 5,000 Aliha Chaoha camp under his command today, he had to rush out, otherwise he would be destroyed in this valley.

The Later Jin army paid a heavy price and finally rushed through the second trench and climbed onto the second wall of sheep and horses.

Fire flashed behind the wooden fence, and heavy muskets of nine-headed birds aimed at the crowd of Hou Jin. Five hundred nine-headed birds of nine-headed birds shot out heavy iron projectiles one by one, killing the crowd of Hou Jin a hundred steps away, and squirting balls of blood mist from the crowd of Hou Jin one by one, killing these once arrogant Later Jin soldiers one by one like they were hitting a living target.

The projectiles fired by the Jiutou heavy musket can penetrate several bodies. Five hundred Jiutou muskets are the lightest Bolang machine cannons, which are as powerful as five hundred. Being hit by the projectile is death. Hitting the body is no different from hitting the shell, and the hands and feet are all falling from the body.

After the Nine-Headed Bird Heavy Musketeer fired the one-headed bullet, he began to retreat and load the shotgun.

At this time, the Later Jin army had already crossed the third wall of sheep and horses, with only fifty steps left to the wooden fence.

The sound of guns roared behind the wooden fence, and bird guns extended the muzzle from the gaps in the wooden fence, constantly spraying fire, knocking down the Later Jin soldiers who had crossed the sheep and horse wall one by one.

The twelve-pound field gun and the six-pound field gun have stopped firing. Even if the copper has much better heat dissipation than iron, it is impossible to keep firing. At this time, the barrel is already scary and the gunpowder may explode on its own if it is filled in.

However, the two twelve-pound howitzers were still firing. The barrel wall was thin, the charge was less, and the heat was quickly dissipated. The power of the shotgun was not inferior to that of the twelve-pound field cannon. The combination of howitzers, nine-headed birds and bird guns, the projectiles were shot like water splashing, causing the bodies to roll down the slope.

There is a slope between the third wall of sheep and horses to the wooden fence of the Ming army's camp. The Later Jin soldiers wearing heavy armor ran panting and crossed the three trenches and the three walls of sheep and horses, which had consumed a lot of their physical energy, but they still had to continue to spend their energy on this slope. Only by rushing up as soon as possible and fighting with each other can these terrifying firearms of the Ming army lose their power.

In each round of firearm shooting, a row of screams sounded on the slope. The shot of the Later Jin soldiers rolled down the slope, hindering the speed of the Later Jin soldiers charging behind them.

Many of the bird guns were young and strong who had lost their homes in the Jisi Incident. Jiannu was cruel and Kong Wu was powerful. The Ming army defeated Jiannu repeatedly, causing these young and strong people to lose their homes. They were then taken out of the frontier by Li Guodong. But now, those fierce and arrogant Jiannu were beaten as a living target under his bird gun!

Killing Jiannu is that simple! The bird gunman Liu Ping pulled the trigger, and with a sound of the gun, he aimed at a Later Jin soldier with a beard, a thick body, and a well-dressed armored man who was screaming and falling down.

I never thought that with a light tap of my finger, a fierce Jiannu would fall under his gun. This battle would be too easy. Liu Ping returned to load the bullets according to the captain's order.

The Later Jin army paid a heavy price and finally rushed into within twenty steps. The Later Jin cavalry took out bows and arrows one after another. Even the Later Jin soldiers of Alihachaoha camp were equipped with insidious bows. Although they were cavalry, the infantry combat capabilities of the Jurchen cavalry were not bad.
