Chapter 1761 Attacking Tianmen Pass
PS: Thanks to book friend A Hao for his reward.
"Your worries are not impossible." Jie Shigong nodded in agreement and then said, "In this way, arrange a team of people to support the formation, and you will lead the team yourself. Anyone who wants to escape when defending the city will be treated as a deserter.
”
"The last general takes the order."
The deputy general inserted his hands into his hands and bowed to salute.
Xie Shigong glanced at the bandits outside the city and said, "Go and prepare, the bandits are about to attack the city."
Outside the city, a cannon was being transferred to Tianmen Pass.
The deputy general held his fists again and saluted, turning around and leaving.
"I don't know if the court has sent reinforcements." Xie Shigong looked at the bandits who were approaching the Tianmen Pass outside the city with a heavy expression. His fingers on the chassis turned pale because they tried too hard.
The fine sand in the hourglass slowly flowed out, and time passed by minute by minute.
The two Franco cannons at Tianmen Pass have been placed on the top of the city, and the gunners guarding the side are also the best gunners that can be found at Tianmen Pass.
"Can you use cannons to attack the bandits outside the city?" Xie Shigong walked to the two Fran machine cannons at some time.
When the gunners around saw him, they hurriedly saluted.
After the ceremony, one of the gunners stretched out his finger and gestured in front of him, then bowed and said, "No, it's too far. The Flang machine cannon cannot hit that far."
"How many more do bandits need to get close to to fight?" Xie Shigong continued to ask.
The gunner gestured outside the city with his hands and said, "The best distance is about three hundred steps away from Tianmen Pass. It's okay to be a little farther away, and within five hundred steps. No matter how far it is, I can't guarantee it."
The two Franco cannons closed at Tianmen are both bore-mounted cannons, and the accuracy is not that good. The farther the distance, the more powerful the cannons are.
Often, the first shot is used to test the deviation of the shooting target, and the second shot is considered to be a real injury to the enemy.
"Then wait until the bandits enter within 500 fires. As long as they can destroy the bandits' guns, I will never be stingy with the rewards to you." Xie Shigong made great profits in front of several gunners.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards.
The bandits' cannons are powerful weapons for siege. He did not ask the two Fran cannons at Tianmen Pass to solve the threat of bandits' cannons. As long as he could destroy a few more cannons of bandits and reduce the pressure to defend the city, he would
Contented.
Only by seeing the power of the bandits' firearms can you know how fierce the bandits' firearms are.
As a general, there are many battalions in his army that use firearms. He didn't think it was so powerful before. Many times, he was not as good as swords and guns. But after fighting with the bandits, he realized how fierce the firearms in the hands of the bandits were.
.
Unfortunately, he knew, but he knew in his heart that the bandits could equip a large number of firearms, and the Taiyuan army he commanded could not equip a large number of firearms.
Build a musket far more money than building an ordinary sword. The money spent on casting cannons was only more money. He was just a general, and most of the money was used to support his personal soldiers and the family could not be used to make the money.
Used for building muskets and cast cannons.
Even if he knew that the bandits were very difficult to deal with by relying on the muskets and cannons in his hands, he would not be able to learn from the bandits to build muskets and cast cannons. A silver issue could help him get rid of such a thought.
"Stop, the bandits stopped." A sharp-eyed gunner shouted at the bandits outside Tianmen Pass with his fingers.
Xie Shigong looked over.
Seeing the situation outside Tianmen Pass, his face changed immediately.
"Hurry up, fire the cannon, bombard the bandits there." Xie Shigong looked nervous and ordered the gunner beside him to fire.
The gunner standing next to the Fran machine cannon frowned and said, "General, the distance is too far, it is difficult for our cannon to hit those bandits."
"Fire the cannon immediately." Xie Shigong stared at the talking gunner with a gloomy gaze.
The gunner, who was looked at by his eyes, was frightened and hurriedly shouted at the other gunners: "Hurry, aim at the thieves outside and fire the gun immediately."
The two Franco cannons in front of the mercedes had already been loaded with gunpowder and gunpowder. They adjusted the angle slightly, and the gunner standing next to the tail lit the fuse with a torch.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of two cannons rang almost at the same time.
Standing not far away, Xie Shigong was startled by the huge cannon sound, and his ears were buzzing.
The gunner at Tianmen Closed was always paying attention to the position where the cannon fell.
When he found that the two cannons were beaten, he showed a hint of disappointment, and turned to the gunner next to him and said, "Adjust the angle, reload the gunpowder, and add three more cents of medicine."
The gunner who had cleaned the barrel with a brush retreated to the side.
The gunpowder used by the gunner of the Tiger Flag is fixed-packed gunpowder. Each level of cannon has been tested multiple times to determine how much medicine can be loaded, how long it can be continuously opened, and how long it will be used, including how long the barrel will be used to accurately decrease.
After many tests, each gun has fixed the number of loaded medicines to ensure the maximum power of each gun, and will not have the problem of too much medicine and too little medicines to be filled.
.
The gunners at Tianmen Closed have no fixed gunpowder available. Every time they fire, the veterans will load the medicine. The amount of medicine they can load depends entirely on the gunner's habits of loading the medicine.
Even in panic, it is common to put on too much medicine.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of cannons sounded again, and Xie Shigong felt his body sinking, and he was pressed to the ground with force, and his head hit hard on the hard blue brick floor.
He was about to get angry, but found that the place not far from him was bright red, full of blood, and there were several corpses lying around him.
And at the foot of his feet, a broken arm was also found.
After he came to his senses, he came back to his senses. The sound of cannons just now was not the cannons closed at Tianmen, but the bandits fired their own cannons.
"General, please avoid it first! The bandits' artillery fire is fierce." The personal soldiers who supported Xie Shigong and said nervously.
As a personal soldier of Xie Shigong, I remember the battle in Huairen County in a deep way, so I know how fierce the cannons of the bandits outside the city were.
Although the defenders on the city wall were a little panicked, they quickly calmed down.
Most of the guards hid behind the mercedes with the door panel in their hands, and a few large pots of golden juice were boiled, which made the fire even more.
"What are you doing in a stand-alone manner, and you can fire the cannon immediately." Xie Shigong looked at the gunners around the two Fran machine cannons with fierce eyes.
The bandits' guns were obviously aimed at the two Franco cannons on the top of Tianmen Pass. The cannons landed on the top of the city were around the two Franco cannons.
The two Franco cannons were very lucky. Not only did they not suffer any shelling, but even the gunners next to them had nothing to do.
Two Franco cannons quickly fired under the gunner's manipulation.
Boom! Boom!
The sparse sound of cannons made Xie Shigong frown.
