Chapter 2707: Sending Cannons

"Brother, do you really think that sending a few cannons can change the situation?" Zu Dabi asked Zu Dashou with an ugly face.

Zu Dashou raised his hand and patted Zu Dabi on his shoulder, and walked over to Zu Dabi without saying a word.

"Brother, you can't continue to fight anymore. There are too many people who have died." Zu Dabi turned around, stood behind and shouted loudly at Zu Dashou.

However, Zu Dashou did not speak and went further and further without looking back.

When Zu Dabi saw Zu Dashou not speaking, he raised his legs and was about to chase him.

At this time, Wu Xiang, who was standing aside, reached out to hold Zu Dabi and shook his head at him.

"Don't stop me. There are so many people dead, I can't just watch and ignore it." Zu Dabi broke free from Wu Xiang's hand and chased Zu Dashou.

Seeing this, Wu Xiang had no choice but to follow him.

All dozens of cannons sent by Huang Taiji were pushed into the front of the formation.

There were many gunners who were sent over with such cannons. These gunners were originally from Guanning Army, and the cannons were also cannons seized by Huang Taiji after he obtained Ning Jin.

Because of Kong Youde's defeat, Huang Taiji did not gain a large number of mature gunners, and even the casting technology was very bad, which was not even comparable to the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji knew the power of cannons well and attached great importance to gunners in the Ming army.

Zu Dashou asked his men to push dozens of cannons into the formation and spread them out, preparing to use the cannons to fire on the top of Shanhaiguan's city to suppress the defenders on the city.

However, just as these cannons were pushed to the front of the formation, the roar of cannons sounded from the top of Shanhaiguan City.

The cannons flew up one by one and fell towards the cannons in front of the Guanning Army.

Because of the slightly further distance, the accuracy was naturally worse, but after one round of artillery bombardment, several Guanning Army cannons were destroyed.

"Fire the cannon and fire the cannon." Zu Dashou saw that his cannon suffered a loss, and immediately shouted loudly to ask his gunners to hurry up and fire the cannon to fight back.

The gunners in front of the Guanning Army began to adjust the shooting angle and aimed at the city wall of Shanhaiguan.

Artillery belongs to a technical group of troops. It not only requires diligent practice and familiarity with the cannons you operate, but also requires various calculations to ensure the hit rate and range as much as possible.

Although the gunners of the Guanning Army often use artillery to defend against the enemy, especially those from Ningyuan and Jinzhou, they are always one of the busiest people when they encounter a large army of slave thieves.

Therefore, they are also very familiar with how to shoot.

However, this is due to the number of actual combat times they participated in. In normal times, there are few opportunities to fire. In fact, even how much medicine they load is based on personal experience.

In terms of personal qualities, they are naturally not as good as the gunners of the tiger flag.

The condescending tiger flag gunner relied on his strong ability and excellent cannons, and shot one by one and one by one to one fire and one by one fire to bombard the Guanning Army's artillery and gunners.

Every once in a while, one or several cannons of the Guanning Army cannons can be destroyed.

If the two sides were closer, the gunners of the Tiger Flag were even sure to completely destroy more than half of the Guanning Army's cannons between two to three rounds.

During the firing of artillery on the Shanhaiguan city wall, the gunners on the Guanning Army also tried to fire and fight back. Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and it could not threaten the tiger-shaped flag gunners and cannons on the city wall.

After destroying several cannons under the shelling on the Shanhaiguan city wall, a thousand households in the Guanning army quickly arrived at Zu Dashou.

"Master, our cannons are too far from the city wall to threaten the defenders in the city. We need to move the cannons forward a little."

Zu Dashou frowned and said, "Since I find that the distance is not enough, then move forward and move to the appropriate position to fight back and suppress the defenders in Shanhaiguan."

"It is OK to move the cannons forward, but the cannons on the top of Shanhaiguan City are too powerful. You need to send a team of people to block the cannons from Shanhaiguan with carts to move our cannons over." Qianhu said.

Zu Dashou said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go quickly?"

"But our car is not enough! We can't protect all our cannons." Qianhu said.

Zu Dashou hesitated for a moment and said, "How many carts are there to use, and find a way to send the cannon to the right place before talking about it."

"Yes." Qianhu turned around and ran away.

Not long after, four carts were pushed out, and more than a dozen cannons followed behind the four carts. There were several cannons because they were not protected by carts, so they could only fall from behind from a distance, and use the carts in front as much as possible.

Sure enough, with the protection of the car, the threat of shelling from Shanhaiguan has been reduced.

However, the problem of slow movement speed cannot be solved, which also gives the tiger flag gunner some chance to knock out as many enemies as possible to protect the enemy as possible.

As for those cars, they were handed over to the gunner who fucked the nine-pound cannon.

However, if the nine-pound cannon is not enough to destroy the car, it is not possible to do it in just one or two cannons. In addition, the Guanning Army's cannon does not need to be sent to the city wall of Shanhaiguan, which gives the Guanning Army a chance.

It took some time, and in the end, less than twenty cannons were transported to about five hundred steps away from Shanhaiguan, and only one of the four carts was destroyed.

The city of Shanhaiguan was constantly firing at the Guanning Army cannons under the city.

In the end, several Guanning Army cannons were destroyed, but the Guanning Army also asked them to adjust the shooting angle and load the cannons.

The cannon fires much slower than the musket.

This cannot be avoided, either the gunner of the Guanning Army or the gunner of the tiger flag.

However, well-trained gunners have more experience and their movements on the battlefield are more standardized and do not easily become distorted.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dozens of cannons sent by the Guanning Army, and in the end, only a dozen cannons fired at the Shanhaiguan city wall.

Everyone is afraid of death, and so is the gunners of Guanning Army.

It is already very good that they can face the death and injury of their companions for so long and still shoot at gunpoint. Naturally, they cannot guarantee that they are accurate.

This directly led to the bombardment of the Guanning Army, which poses almost zero threat to Shanhaiguan, and only a few solid rock bombs hit the exterior wall of the Shanhaiguan city wall.

Of course, the first round of gunfire is mainly to determine the distance and angle, so it is normal to hit a lower hit.

But they are facing better tiger flag gunners.

When the first round of artillery bombardment of the Guanning Army did not threaten the defenders in Shanhaiguan City, the tiger flag gunners on the city wall began to fire and fight back.

Because of the closer distance between the two sides, the two chariots were directly destroyed under the heavy bullets of the nine-pound cannon, and even five or six cannons were destroyed.

This also reduced the Guanning Army from more than a dozen cannons to two-thirds of the previous ones, and there was no protection from carriages, and other cannons were exposed to the cannons on the top of Shanhaiguan City.
