Chapter 1818 artillery battle

"put!"

The gunner on the top of the city waved the flag in his hand with force.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several four-pound cannons on the city walls were condescending and firing fires outside the city one after another.

Solid iron ball cannons flew out of the city.

All eight four-pound cannons were placed at the south gate. Eight solid bullets flew out of the cannon, and only one shot around the cannon of the government army, hitting a accompanying gunner.

After the gunner on the top of the city fired the cannon, except for one of the gunners holding a monocular telescope to observe the hit situation, the others cleaned the cannon again and filled the cannon with medicine and iron balls.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The eight four-pound cannons that adjusted the shooting angle fired again.

After the sound of the cannons, two cannons of the government army were destroyed. One of them was directly shot into gunpowder by the cannon, and the cannon stand was blown up. Even the surrounding officers and soldiers were affected, killing and injured.

Just as the sound of the cannons passed, the officers and soldiers finally pushed the remaining ten cannons within range. A group of gunmen who were operating the cannon began to adjust the angle of the gunshot to reload gunpowder and iron balls for the cannon.

Compared with the gunners guarding the city on the city wall, these officers and soldiers were obviously busy, and unlike the gunners on the city wall, the medicine they used was fixed-loaded gunpowder, and the amount of medicine required for each gun was standard after multiple tests.

From loading to cleaning up after firing, each gunner of the defenders performed his duties, his movements were concise and clear, and everything was like flowing, and the time between the two guns was shortened as much as possible.

When the officers and soldiers finally loaded the medicine, the third round of artillery fire broke out again on the city wall.

Because compared with the situation during the second firing, the officers and soldiers gunners moved the cannons, so this time they only destroyed one cannon in the official army. Instead, the officers and soldiers gunners killed and injured a lot.

There are only nine cannons left now and can be used normally.

Even the nine cannons had one more gun than the defenders on the city wall. The most important thing is that the defenders on the city wall always used guns to target the official army's guns, but few officers and soldiers were killed or injured.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

After so long of the artillery bombardment, the officers and soldiers finally fired the nine cannons brought to Yongning City, and one by one flew towards the walls of Yongning City.

Perhaps because of the angle, except for a cannon flying over the city wall and falling into the city, the remaining cannons hit the city wall, smashing many pieces of blue bricks and mud chips on the exterior wall.

Yang Fan, who was standing on the city wall, felt a shock under his feet, and he hurried behind the female wall, avoiding the cannons flying over from outside the city.

The sound of cannons stopped, and he stood up and shouted at the gunner on the city wall: "What are the cannons doing? Why are there so many cannons outside the city? They are all bombarded by them. You just need to find a way to destroy the cannons of the government army, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

The government army has not yet launched a large-scale attack on the city wall, and only the cannons under the city cannons cannons.

The gunner on the city wall was scolded, and the captain of the artillery team was also red in anger, and cursed at his gunner: "It's all aiming. I don't want to see the enemy's cannon flying to the top of the city."

The eight four-pound cannons were destroyed three times in a row, and the hit was pitiful.

The gunners around the four-pound cannon were all holding their breath, and the movements on their hands did not slow down because of the swearing captain's scolding.

Each gunner performs his own duties, and only the gunner who adjusts the shooting angle becomes cautious.

The four-pound cannon that had loaded the medicine did not rush to fire, but after more than ten breaths, he finely adjusted some angles. The gunner standing behind the cannon ignited the fuse on the tail of the cannon with the torch in his hand.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The eight four-pound cannons fired only ten seconds apart.

The cannons flying out of the muzzle fell accurately into the crowd of officers, soldiers and gunners under the city.

After the officers and soldiers under the city shot, they did not move the cannons. Several four-pound cannons on the city walls fired fixed targets, destroying three cannons under the city in one go.

Although the remaining few cannons did not hit the official army's cannons, they killed and injured many officers and soldiers, many of them were gunners of officers and soldiers.

The nine cannons of the government army were reduced by three again. After several shellings on the city wall, almost half of the cannons were destroyed, and many gunners who manipulated the cannons were damaged.

Corptoes were scattered around the official artillery formation under the city, and many injured and undead officers and soldiers were wailing in pain.

The previous rounds of artillery bombardment on the city wall did not cause much damage to the officers, soldiers and gunners this time.

Among the officers and soldiers, gunners began to abandon the cannon and flee, and many gunners also fled one after another. The gunners around the remaining six cannons were less than half of the previous ones.

"When you go back, you go back, whoever dares to escape will end up."

The general guarding behind the formation pointed at a corpse on the ground with the knife in his hand, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the knife.

The officers and soldiers who were in the rear fought and kicked the fleeing officers and soldiers, and drove the people back with the weapons in their hands.

The officers and soldiers who wanted to escape returned to the six cannons again with a look of reluctance.

However, the officers and soldiers who started to load the cannons were obviously much more panicked, far less smooth than the previous loading. Moreover, the movements were messy in the panic, and the efficiency was even lower.

Fortunately, the remaining six guns had already started to reload the medicine, and adjusted the shooting angle based on the first firing. In the end, they dared to load the medicine and iron balls before the defenders on the city walls fired.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Six cannons were fired, and one of them might have been filled with medicine twice, and the chamber exploded on the spot, and some of the surrounding officers and soldiers were attacked, resulting in many casualties and injuries.

The remaining five cannons flew intact to the city wall in front.

Except for one or two cannons hitting the city wall, all three cannons fell on the city wall.

There are many defenders on the city wall.

Three cannons fell directly on the heads of many people. Some soldiers who could not dodge were killed by cannons on the spot, and many of them were injured by cannons.

"Go and save people quickly and take all the injured to the city for treatment. Everyone else is dispersed. Don't stand too close. You can hide people in the nest shop and hide inside."

Only three cannons caused more than ten people to be killed or injured on the city wall, and Yang Fan's eyes turned red.

This time he did not blame the gunner on the wall.

The official army dispatched twelve cannons. After two rounds, only three cannons fell on the city wall. Their own gunners had already tried their best.

However, although he did not blame the gunner, the captain of the artillery did not let his gunner go.
