Chapter 229
Howl!
Suddenly, a dull whistling sound flew out from every corner in all directions.
The eighteen-pound artillery shell roared loudly and roared loudly, and suddenly rushed towards the battlefield.
"It's a cannon! It's our cannon!"
The soldiers who were originally preparing to die with Jiannu heard the familiar whistle in the air and immediately shouted excitedly.
Although they did not have reinforcements, they heard the whistling in the air as if they saw their own reinforcements. Because this is a weapon that only they have. This means that their brothers are doing their best to help them.
.
He looked up at the iron bullet falling from the sky. Because it was not moving very fast, he could see it falling slowly. Li Detian, who was still fighting with the Qing army, shouted loudly when he saw this.
"Lie down quickly!"
"Lie down..."
The originally tragic battlefield suddenly changed its appearance. The soldiers who were fighting the final battle with Jiannu lay down on the ground. The surrounding Jiannu did not react for a while.
What are they going to do?
Is it possible that they want to surrender?
This seems unlikely!
The actions of the Ming army stunned Basha. Hearing the roar in the air, he looked up, and then the slowly falling iron bullets hit people first, either smashing their heads, or smashing their heads.
If the shoulder is smashed, even if it falls on the ground and rolls, it will rub the unlucky guy's leg and it will also smash his leg. Snow-white bone stubble is exposed at the broken place, and blood spurts from the broken leg.
All this only happened in a second or two. Before Basha and the others could figure it out, the shells that fell to the ground exploded violently. The dust raised by the explosions raised smoke and flames, which instantly swallowed up everything around them.
.
The deafening explosion and the flying dust knocked Basha down at once. He fell to the ground and looked at everything in front of him in shock.
Lying on the ground, he felt that all his internal organs seemed to have been moved out of position, as if he was in a stormy sea. He was shaking, shaking, and his whole body was shaking and shaking.
Of course, he had never been to the sea, and naturally he didn't know what the stormy waves felt like, but now, he experienced what shelling was! However, his experience did not last long. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his butt.
There was a pain, and then he lost all feeling in his buttocks. What happened?
Holding back the pain, he turned his head and looked around, only to see blood gushing out from his waist and crotch. Next to his body, a hot iron ball was rolling on the ground, emitting white smoke.
Did it hit me?
Before he could figure it out, the iron ball exploded. He even saw the shattering of the iron ball, the rising of the flames, and... then everything was over. He, like everyone else, was turned into pieces.
Throwing in the air...
The battlefield turned into a sea of fire and smoke in an instant. The earth convulsed and trembled there. People and things on the battlefield were all submerged in the sea of fire and smoke. Waves of wailing and screaming burst out from the smoke, and
The whistling explosions of artillery shells mingle together.
A total of one hundred and sixty-eight mortars!
It let out an earth-shattering roar and sprayed artillery shells on the battlefield. In less than a minute, more than 2,000 artillery shells were sprayed in the main formation of the Qing army and the area where the two armies were fighting! Although its accuracy is limited,
The accuracy is impressive, but its power is truly astonishing. The battlefield for miles around was completely shrouded in the smoke of the explosion, so that outsiders could not see clearly what was happening inside. However, there would always be something on its edge from time to time.
Throw it in the air.
"Oh my god, those are the thighs that were blown up!"
"It looks like an arm to me..."
"It looks like a human belly to me."
…
As the shells roared out, Li Du stood by the river, staring at the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, tears streaming down the iron surface.
"Military Gate..."
Silently reciting these two words, Li Du's mind once again thought of the army's instructions.
"Bait! Hu Shoujin is the bait, I am the bait!"
"There are only ten thousand of us in total. If we don't throw out some bait, those slave builders will never fall for it!"
"We bombard them from the water. They have only two options. They can either sit back and let us bombard them, or they can find a way to get rid of our boat. If they want to get rid of us, they have to get to the water!"
"If they get to the water, we will have the opportunity to set fire to them! We can burn many people to death, but not many people! Three thousand? Five thousand? Okay, plus the ones we bombed in the first round, we can kill at most one
Seven to eight thousand. But for life!"
"If you want to kill them, you have to be more ruthless than them!"
"When everyone was staring at the river, I led the Huben battalion to kill them, catching them off guard, and then... everything depends on God's will!"
…
God willing!
Perhaps, this is God’s will!
Although none of the bastards in Nanjing gave him a chance, Jiannu himself exposed the opportunity. When they threw their entire army into the battlefield and tried to annihilate the Huben camp, they exposed their flanks and the troops who had originally retreated to the other side were exposed.
The fleet is back again.
Not only are they back!
Also crossing the river were Huang Degong, Mou Wenxuan, Yang Yufan, and tens of thousands of troops led by the three generals. Of course, due to the shortage of ships, except for Huang Degong who led 10,000 horses across the river, the other 50,000 troops were still on the other side.
, now the boat is heading to the other side, and soon they will be transported across the river.
Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they not only completed the landing, but also deployed the eighteen-pound mortars lifted from the ship in front of the formation. Taking advantage of the main force of the Qing army to besiege the Huben camp, they concentrated their firepower to bombard Jiannu's military formation.
.
Looking at the battlefield shrouded in gunpowder smoke, Huang Degong, who was surprised by the power of the mortar, asked doubtfully.
"General Li, if the artillery fire is so fierce, will it hurt Chen Junmen?"
"The army has long wanted to die to serve the country. He will definitely not blame me!"
Li Du, who seemed calm, pursed his lips and did not continue speaking. Huang Degong just silently looked at the battlefield under artillery fire.
In fact, even he himself felt that everything seemed like a dream. Originally, he wanted to join Prince De in Yangzhou, but yesterday he learned from the people that Prince De had led his troops to Nanjing. When he was thinking about how to cross the river to contact Prince De and join forces,
But they never expected to meet Hu Shoujin on the riverside. When Li Du and others learned that they were "following the order of Grandpa Shizi" to attack Jiannu from the flank, he immediately asked to accompany the army across the river without hesitation.
"Huang Junmen, now that the Jiannu Brigade has been defeated by me, the rest is up to you!"
Li Du looked at Huang Degong and said that the imperial soldiers in front of him were tricked into the battlefield by them. With the help of tens of thousands of troops from Jiangbei, Abatai and the others would definitely be dead!
"General Li, just take a look! Tell the prince that the last general has left!"
A war must go smoothly. Since the Crown Prince has already defeated Jiannu here, and seeing Jiannu's army being bombarded like this, he will not hesitate at all. Now it is clear that there is a war.
It's time to grab the credit.
Raising his hands to Li Dugong, Huang Degong grabbed the wine bag from the saddle and drank a bag of wine in the blink of an eye. When he was drunk, he raised the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, let the slave-building dogs see our majesty! Follow Huang to kill the slaves!"
Kill the slaves!
For a moment, the shouts shook the sky, and tens of thousands of horses and horses began to roar and fight head-on with the Qing army!
When Huang Degong led nearly ten thousand men to kill, the shelling of the Ming army artillery from the Huwei and Huxiao battalions was still continuing.
Don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!
Since the effect of shelling is so good, let's go ahead and smash everything in the world to pieces!
No, it should be said that everything is going to be blown to pieces.
"General, we are almost out of shells, and the barrel is getting hotter and hotter. If we continue firing like this, the barrel will definitely become useless!"
The prolonged shelling made the artillerymen a little worried. After all, such continuous shelling completely violated their usual rules for the use of artillery.
"If it can't be used, make a new one and fight! Fight until you die! Fire up the last cannonball!"
Chapter completed!
