This Goshha is under Dai Shan's command. Seeing him looking frightened, Amin scolded him with contempt and said in contempt: "What are you afraid of, a dog slave? There are so many shield cars here, they are all specially reinforced heavy shield cars. No matter how powerful the artillery of the Han dogs is, can they still break these shield cars?"

Amin was indeed full of confidence when he said this. Since he heard that Dai Shan suffered a great loss under the artillery of the Ming army, he specially ordered the construction of a batch of thickened heavy shield cars. These heavy shield cars were all made of the thickest wooden boards, and were surrounded by thick leather quilts to cover up the bullets and projectiles. In Amin's opinion, let alone the muskets, even the cannon projectiles of such a thick shield car are probably not able to be penetrated even if they are guns.

Seeing Amin's disdainful look, Dai Shan was also full of anger. In the past, no matter what he thought about Amin, he was at least respectful to him on the surface. However, since he knew that he had suffered a defeat, he had a sarcastic smell in his words, which made him feel angry. Now he is openly scolding his slave. He has to rely on his master to beat a dog. Amin, you are too much.

Seeing that his Goshha was scolded so hard that he dared not say anything, Dai Shan snorted coldly: "Sashei, since the two Beller said that, why are you anxious? Just stand here and watch."

"Yeah!" After being scolded, Goshha felt a little aggrieved, lowered his head and said nothing.

Listening to the constant sound of trumpets in the Ming army camp a mile away, a Ming army gunner in green uniform was constantly busy on the position, Dai Shan said calmly: "Amin, if it is you, I will order a soldier to attack the Ming army's artillery position, and they cannot calmly attack us."

"Brother, you're wrong." Dai Shan had a good intention, but in Amin's ears, he thought Dai Shan wanted his blue flag to be cannon fodder. He said with a cold face: "Although our blue flag children are brave, they are not given for nothing. I will not let them die in vain. If the eldest prince thinks that it is necessary, you can send your red flag to you, and I will not stop him."

"You..." Dai Shan was so angry that he almost cursed. If it weren't for the fact that my vest soldiers had lost some of them a few days ago, and yesterday they handed over all the vest soldiers to Yue Tuo and sent them out to fry the other party's butt, would I be able to talk to you so humbly?

Just when Dai Shan was so angry that he heard a sharp whistle sounded at the foot of the mountain, spreading throughout the Ming army's positions.

With the sound of a sharp whistle, a huge roar suddenly sounded in front of the Ming army's position, and the entire earth seemed to shake. One hundred and twenty artillery cannons collectively spewed out thick smoke. A large amount of thick white smoke produced by the burning of black gunpowder immediately filled the front of the entire artillery battalion under the hot sunlight.

In the rolling smoke, countless black iron balls flew towards the mountains. At first glance, these iron balls were slowly and seemed to be able to see the flight trajectory of these iron balls with naked eyes, but soon these iron balls flew above the Tatar positions of the Later Jin Dynasty.

With the help of the artillery team mirror, the artillery battalion was extremely fast and sophisticated in both the reflection and mapping accuracy. In the first round of artillery bombing, nearly half of the artillery shells hit the target.

Only the sound of breaking the shield chariot was heard "crackling" and iron balls fell on the positions of the Later Jin army. From time to time, the Later Jin Tartars were hit by projectiles, and blood mist rose up, holding the howls of the injured. These heavy shield chariots, which were originally seen as extremely strong, were beaten to pieces, and many shield chariots were instantly pierced.

"boom!"

Only a loud noise was heard, the cover of a heavy shield chariot suddenly exploded, and an iron ball directly opened the heads of two Later Jin soldiers. The projectile that had not yet been exhausted was still in the chest of a Tartar, and he was knocked out with him.

For a moment, the positions of the Later Jin army in Kucaoling were filled with minced meat and blood mists, high-movement iron balls, and a large amount of sharp wood chips produced after shooting the cover of the heavy shield car, and swept the Later Jin Tartar soldiers around the back of the shield car.

Except for the archers wearing cotton armor, many of the remaining were auxiliary soldiers and even coat slaves. The Jurchens naturally would not equip these cannon fodder with precious armor. This made the fun so much. The sharp wood chips shot out by the huge kinetic energy of the iron ball produced huge lethality. These auxiliary soldiers and coat slaves were shot all over their bodies and faces by the fragments. Blood flowed like a lot of people covered their heads and faces and howled wildly. They either knelt on the ground and trembled in pain, or rolled on the ground in pain.

Dealing with fixed targets is naturally easier than dealing with moving targets. With the first round of artillery as a reference, the hit rate in the second round is even higher. The projectiles fall into the formation of the Tartars like eyes.

Here we will especially mention the 12-pound cannon equipped by the artillery battalion. When the projectile weighing 5.44 kilograms falls into the camp of the Later Jin camp, it is very lethal. No matter how thick the wood is covered or how thick the leather quilt is, it will also hit a big hole. Any shield car will be damaged after being hit, and the debris will fly. The Later Jin Tartars behind the shield car will either die or be injured, and are in a mess.

At this time, Daishan and Amin had already retreated from the escort of Goshha's surroundings to a slope behind the back to avoid the projectiles that were flying. Looking at the Hou Jin soldiers who were wailing in the artillery fire, Amin's original calmness that he had deliberately showed was immediately gone, especially when he saw that a Goshha who was less than twenty steps away from him was directly hit on the head by an iron ball as big as a fist. The guard's head and he helmet were immediately broken like a broken watermelon. His white brain and red blood even splattered on him, his face soon turned pale.

In history, at the beginning, the Later Jin Tartars looked down on artillery until Nurhaci was injured by artillery and had to return to Shengjing. Later, they died of illness due to their serious injuries. It was not until this time that the Jurchens took the cannon seriously. There was no way, even their own sweat made the cannons explode. If you still look down on artillery, it can only be said that there is a problem with your IQ.

Afterwards, with Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi, the surrendered generals of the Ming army surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty and brought a large number of craftsmen and gunners who could make firearms, the Later Jin Dynasty formed the first firearm unit. However, the good times did not last long. After the Jurchens captured the world, Emperor Qianlong, who was afraid that the Han people would overthrow their rule, blocked the firearms again. It was not until the Westerners knocked on the door with strong ships and sharp cannons. It was too late at that time.

Through the thick smoke, enduring the choking smell of gunpowder from his nose, Yang Feng saw the Tartars on the mountains running wildly under the attack of artillery through the telescope. Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction. Although the artillery battalion had only been training for several months and the gunners were not very skilled in operation, the advanced aiming equipment made up for their shortcomings of insufficient training and was very vivid.

Zhao Rujiao, who was standing aside, was also amazed. A few days ago, when he was watching the Jiangning Army's Zhenghong Banner with cannons at the head of Jinzhou City, the Jiangning Army had only twelve cannons firing, which was completely different from the current collective fire of 120 cannons. Just look at the sky now. After several rounds of gunfire, the entire sky was filled with thick smoke and deafening loud noises everywhere. He could not imagine that there was anything else that could withstand such attacks at this time. I am afraid that even the solid city wall would fall under such attacks?

After six consecutive rounds of attack, Yang Feng issued an order to change the bullet with the intercom.

"The Tartar shield chariot was basically destroyed, change to the flowering bullet immediately!"

"clear!"

With the order issued, the transporters who were busy carrying shells behind quickly moved the flowering bullets that had been placed behind.

Unlike solid bullets, the manufacturing of flowering bullets is much more difficult. Since it is too difficult to create fuses, Yang Feng can only create a relatively primitive flowering bullet.

Before firing a flowering bullet, the gunner must first visually measure the distance between the target and the artillery, estimate the time the shell reaches the target, then cut the grenade's fuse to a suitable length, then ignite the fuse, and launch the grenade with a howitzer. This launch process is quite complicated. If the fuse is cut too long, the grenade will not explode for half a day after it lands, leaving enemy soldiers with dodge time or even be killed by bold enemies. If the fuse is too short, it may explode in mid-air. This is also the reason why the use of flowering bullets in this era is not as popular as the use of solid bullets.

After issuing the flowering bullet, Qiu Disheng, who was responsible for measuring, measured the distance of the enemy again, and then ordered loudly: "Distance...526 meters, height 125, orientation 21452544, flowering bullet preparation!"

After receiving the order, the gunners carefully took out the flowering shell from the shell box. The shells are still round these days, and no trigger fuse was developed. Therefore, the flowering shells are first packed with gunpowder into the barrel, and then stuffed the round shells with a wooden bullet tray into the barrel. The advantage of this is that they not only close the barrel, but also increase the stability of the shell firing.

When firing, first ignite the wooden fuse inside the shell, then ignite the medicine bag in the gun chamber to shoot the shell out. The invention of the wooden bullet holder can be said to be groundbreaking.

The function of wooden bullet support is not only to close the barrel and increase stability, but also to insulate and buffer. Because the temperature of the gunpowder is extremely high at the moment when it is fired, the wooden bracket can prevent the high temperature from being transmitted to the bullet body instantly. After all, the ignition point of black gunpowder is not high, and excessive temperature will also cause the shell to detonate in the barrel. Moreover, when the internal ballistic acceleration, the buffering effect of this wooden bracket can make the shell detonation instantly not too strong.

The most important thing is that the wooden brackets taken out by Yang Feng are very mature. The shells and wooden brackets are combined into one. In this way, when the shells fly in an external ballistic state, the low density of the wooden brackets will make the planes fly similar to the badminton's head and tail light self-stable structure (of course, it is far from reaching the level of spin stability due to high-speed rotation like the rifled shells), which increases the shooting accuracy.

"fire!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Hundreds of flowering bullets were fired towards the position of the Later Jin Dynasty.

At this time, Amin and Dai Shan and other generals were hiding behind a natural earth slope. Looking at the wounded soldiers who were wailing on the mountains, Amin's face was so dark that he could scrape off the black charcoal. Just now, he was still swearing that his shield cart could block the Ming army's shells, but reality slapped him hard. More than 100 heavy shield carts that he had worked hard to make, which were known to be able to withstand artillery were smashed by the Ming army's artillery, and the remaining dozen shield cars were only spared because they hid behind the earth slope.

Just as Amin was calm and silent, a Goshha shouted again: "Master, the Ming army has started shooting artillery again!"

"Woo...woo...woo..."

"Disast away!" The officers shouted and scolded each other everywhere on the mountain.

As the sound of an old cow's gasping sounded, countless black spots began to appear in the sky, and the Tartars, who were bombed by several rounds of artillery fire, also learned the essence. It is said that war is the best teacher, and this sentence is not wrong at all. When they see the opponent shooting artillery, the Tartars who have never experienced artillery fire before, were hiding behind the earth slope or in the pit. In short, they cannot be on the flat ground like a fool. You must know that those solid bullets will form irregular jumps after hitting the ground. If they are hit by those five or even ten pounds, they are not a joke. No matter how thick the armor is, it will be useless.

"Dong..."

A shell landed on the ground and bounced for a while before rolling to the back of a dirt slope. More than a dozen tatars hiding behind the dirt slope looked at the black projectile slowly rolling in front of him, fearful and curious eyes. A Tsingda, wearing two layers of heavy armor, looked at the projectile with a cylindrical wooden support behind his butt, cursed: "Damn it, this damn iron ball, get out of the way!"

After saying that, he raised his foot and was about to kick the projectile away, but he saw that the projectile seemed to flash red light, and then a violent explosion sounded.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, fire was filled with smoke, and the shell weighing ten kilograms exploded. After the three and a half kilograms of black gunpowder exploded, wrapped in broken shrapnel and dozens of peanut-sized iron beads inside the shell easily broke the heavy armor of the Tsangda and the more than ten Tartars behind him, tearing their bodies apart. The fragments of peanut-sized rolled and collided in their bodies, causing them great pain.

The powerful impact force also caused the shotgun to roll on the ground in pain. Then, looking at the blood arrows that kept spraying on their bodies, a group of people either kneeled on the ground or lying on the ground and cried and howled. Faced with the explosions that were so close that no matter how heavy the armor and luxurious equipment, they were only dead end to face fragments with speeds of hundreds of meters per second.

Facts have proved that the lethality of the flowering bomb to personnel is incomparable to solid bombs. With the loud explosions, the Tartar soldiers who thought they could avoid the attack of the other party's shells suffered a lot and were hit hard by the sudden explosion of shells.
