Eight hundred and forty-eighth chapter shelling Xinpingbao
Boom! Boom... Boom!
The dozens of cannons brought by the Tiger Flag were fired halfway, and solid bombs were shot towards the direction of the Xinpingbao walls.
The cannon hit the city wall, smashing the blue bricks outside the city wall, and pieces of broken bricks fell from the city wall, making the people on the top of the city feel that the city walls under their feet were trembling.
"Protect your lord quickly." A personal soldier shouted loudly, while blocking Li Huaixin's body.
There were not many cannons landing on the top of the city, only five or six. One of them was smashed down from a step away from Li Huaixin and killed one of his personal soldiers on the spot.
Several personal soldiers protected Li Huaixin and hid behind the city gate tower.
In order to defend the city, Li Huaixin arranged all the soldiers in Xinping Fort on the top of the city. Not to mention the crowds, there was not much gap between everyone.
With so many soldiers together, every cannon that fell would kill several soldiers.
"Boat, use the cannon to fight back and hit me at the cannon under the city." Li Huaixin, who was hiding behind the city gate tower, shouted loudly.
The five general artillery on the top of the city was not attacked by the shell. The bar on the side shouted to the soldiers who were operating the artillery: "Hurry up, put gunpowder, use solid bullets to fight back to the city."
The artillery man who was next to the five generals began to stuff gunpowder into it. As for how much gunpowder was stuffed in, it all depends on his own feelings. The five gunpowder was filled with different doses of gunpowder.
These artillery soldiers rarely had the opportunity to operate the artillery, and their movements were very messy. In addition, people died on the top of the city, so many people became panicked until the second round of artillery bombing under the city had already started, and they were not ready yet.
However, fortunately, the cannons fired from the second round of artillery fire in the Tiger Flag still did not fall on these gunfire soldiers, and even the few generals on the top of the city were fine.
Finally, the third round of artillery fired under the city, and several generals were finally ready.
"Damn it, it's better to have too many cannons." The general who was commanding the general's cannon spat on the ground and shrank behind the female wall.
Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom!
Five general guns, three of which successfully fired solid bullets inside, and the remaining two were blown up on the spot. Several soldiers on the side were killed and more were injured.
"It's exploded, it's exploded, run away!"
The gunners who had successfully fired the general artillery saw their companions who were killed by their own artillery, for fear that they would be bombed too, so they left the general artillery beside them and hid in a distance.
Seeing this, the boss who was squatting behind the female wall shouted and cursed: "What are you going to do? Isn't these three generals fucking unburned? Come back and continue firing for me. Whoever wants to drive away? I chopped his head."
He pulled out his sword and gestured twice.
Some artillery soldiers who hid in the distance walked over reluctantly and returned to the intact general artillery.
The general cannons on the city wall are all Franc machine cannons. Some Western countries have eliminated them and replaced them with more powerful and longer range. Only the Ming Dynasty is still using this cannon in large quantities.
The Tiger Flag itself has long eliminated these Flang machine cannons, only some of them are still there in the Daheihe Dunbao. This time, Chen Xunping brought new iron cannons, which are relatively advanced iron cannons even in the West.
Although three general cannons on the top of Xinpingbao Castle were fired and solid bullets were fired out, the cannon array of tiger flags was one mile away from Xinpingbao, and the generals of the official army had enough range. The cannons that were fired fell to the ground before they could hit the target.
However, the start of these generals was still noticed by the people with the tiger flag.
The captain of the artillery team, Hu Guangyi, held a monocular telescope and looked at several general cannons on the top of the city, cursing inwardly: "Damn it, fortunately, the official army's cannon range is not enough, otherwise I would have to suffer a loss this time."
Wang Yuncheng, who was standing beside him, said, "The government army arranged cannons on the top of the city. Are you sure to kill those cannons?"
"Wang Ying is rest assured that our gunners are all powerful. At most, three cannons can be killed by the official army's cannons." Hu Guangyi patted his chest and promised.
Wang Yuncheng said: "Since you are sure, then divide a few cannons and kill the official army's cannons, and the remaining cannons will be bombarded at the city wall and blast the gap at the fastest speed."
"Don't worry, the camp is about to be sure. At most half an hour, my subordinates will definitely collapse the city wall of Xinping Castle." Hu Guangyi said vigorously.
The cannons with the tiger flag were no longer aimlessly bombarding Xinpingbao. Except for a few cannons that specifically bombarded the general cannons on the Xinpingbao walls, the remaining dozens of cannons fell on the Xinpingbao walls one after another.
The quality of the tiger flag gunner is far greater than that of the official army gunners.
Inside the tiger flag, a gunner learned a lot of learning, not only learned how to calculate the cannon from Ximang, but also learned how to calculate the cannon line from the pastors of Johnson Chan.
After a long period of study, you have to conduct a gun drilling assessment, and you can only become a qualified gunner after passing it.
The gunners are considered technical troops in several battle barracks of the Tiger Flag, and their monthly salary is 20% higher than that of ordinary combat soldiers.
Before the official army could fire a few general artillery, the tiger flag had already fallen.
One of the cannons fell on the gunpowder beside the general cannon, causing a big explosion on the spot. A general cannon was blown up, several gunmen were killed, and even the one who was hiding behind the female wall was stabbed by his own gunpowder.
The remaining artillery soldiers did not dare to stay by the side of several general artillery pieces, for fear of being implicated and being bombed.
This is just the beginning.
When the tiger flag cannons fell again, the only two remaining general cannons were also destroyed.
Li Huaixin, hiding behind the city gate tower, only felt the cannons with the tiger flag constantly bombarding the city walls, and his own cannons only sounded once and there was no sound again.
This made him very dissatisfied.
If you don’t have a cannon counterattack, you can only passively withstand the opponent’s shelling.
"Go and see, why the cannons on the top of the city have not started yet? If a soldier who is using cannon escape, I will allow you to execute a few of them on the charge of escaping in the last battle to kill the chicken to warn the monkey." Li Huaixin ordered a personal soldier beside him.
The sound of cannons with the tiger flag kept coming out from behind the city gate tower, worried that he would be hit by the cannon, so he could only let his personal soldiers see the situation of his general's cannon.
The personal soldiers are all privately supported by the generals of each family. They usually eat and wear well, and they are paid enough every month, and there is also pension after death. Therefore, every personal soldiers and family member willingly works for their own generals, and even in danger, they will protect their own generals without fear of death.
A personal soldier beside Li Huaixin rushed out from behind the city gate tower and bent down toward the place where several general artillery were located.
Many soldiers were killed and injured under the cannon, and the city was in chaos.
