Li Zicheng was startled when he saw the huge white shadow rising from the Ming army's formation.
"This...should be the flying car, right?" Song Xiance's eyes also showed surprise.
The trade between Dashun and the Ming Dynasty never stopped, so many Guanzhong merchants who went to Nanjing for business had seen flying cars flying through the sky and brought the news back to Xi'an.
"Is this the Ming army's flying chariot?" Li Zicheng looked serious.
This thing is amazing. It can actually fly into the air and launch attacks. How to defend it?
Gu Junen said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The so-called flying car is actually a large sky lantern that uses heat to lift a huge lampshade into the air. Its load-bearing capacity is extremely limited."
"No matter how small the load is, it can always carry a few people."
"The key is that this thing is not restricted by any terrain, it is simply impossible to defend against."
Li Zicheng frowned and said: "If during a battle, hundreds of speeding vehicles fly over the heads of our Dashun army, and then drop thousands of enemies down, or use self-generated fire blunderbuss to shoot from a high position, what should we do?"
"You can use the camel cannon loaded with lead and fire it into the sky." Gu Jun'en said, "You can definitely shoot down the Ming army's flying chariot."
"Well, this is a good idea." Li Zicheng's face looked slightly relaxed. As long as there was a way to deal with it, it wouldn't be a big problem. What he was afraid of was that there was nothing he could do with this thing.
Gu Junen added: "And this thing has a flaw."
"Oh, really?" Li Zicheng asked, "What's the flaw?"
"Afraid of the wind." Gu Jun'en said, "Once the wind starts, it will be over."
"When I was young, I once flew a Kongming lantern, but it was blown away by a strong wind."
As if to confirm Gu Junen's words, the wind actually started to blow.
It was obviously a clear sky with not a single cloud, but the southeast wind suddenly increased.
The dozen or so Ming army flying cars that had just risen to high altitude immediately deviated from their direction and floated to the northwest.
"Look, Your Majesty." Gu Junen shook his head and said, "Once a strong wind starts, this thing will be useless."
"Haha, it's true." Li Zicheng laughed at first, but soon turned to sighing, "Oh, this is a pity. If the wind had not blown up, the Ming army might have had a chance to turn around with these dozen flying cars, but it happened
At this time, there was a strong wind, so Nan Minghe must have suffered this disaster."
"The Holy Spirit is a clear guide." Song Xiance also shook his head and sighed.
"Nan Ming's energy has been exhausted, and even God will punish the Ming army."
…
Li Zicheng and Song Xiance were sighing, but Sony and the Eight Banners generals were laughing.
While laughing, Sony said: "It's a blessing that the emperor and the regent stopped the plan to build the Kongming Lantern. Otherwise, it would be a joke to spend a lot of money to build the Kongming Lantern, but end up like a bright dog."
Suksa laughed and said: "Even God is helping us to clear up the Qing Dynasty. Nanming's energy is exhausted, haha!"
"This is called the fate of heaven and earth, but the heroes who are transported are not free." Sony said with a smile, "The destiny of the country lies in our Qing Dynasty. No matter how hard Chongzhen struggles, it will be in vain. Our Qing soldiers are sure to win this battle!"
"We must win!" the Eight Banners generals behind Sony shouted.
"We must win!" Immediately afterwards, the two yellow flag elites of the Chinese army also shouted.
In the end, the slowly advancing Eight Banners Han Army, Green Camp, Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, Waifan Mongolia and even the Green Camp soldiers followed suit and shouted loudly.
The morale of the Qing army suddenly rose to its peak.
The Ming army really shot themselves in the foot.
Instead of weakening the enemy's morale, it actually boosted the morale of the Qing army.
…
Watching the 19 flying cars flying further and further in the sky, Chongzhen was speechless.
Chongzhen never expected Zheng Sen's air force to play a decisive role in the decisive battle with Jiannu, but he couldn't just drift away before the war started, right?
Is it okay to throw a few grenades at Jian Nu’s head?
You spent more than one million to get this?
Although Chongzhen also knew that Zheng Sen was not to blame for this matter.
After all, the sky was clear just now, who would have thought that there would suddenly be strong winds?
But reason is one thing, but emotion is another. At this moment, Chongzhen's face was really ugly. If Zheng Sen was in front of him, he might really kick him hard.
What the hell, can your air force performance be even more flattering?
Jiang Tianyi, Wang Jiayan, Gao Qiqian and other eunuchs also looked at each other in confusion.
Finally, Xu Yingwei, who returned to the observation deck after inspecting the position, broke the silence and shouted to Guo Zisheng below the observation deck: "Send my general order and the Shenfu Artillery Battalion will launch immediately!"
…
The front of the Chinese army's formation is the Chinese army's artillery position.
The 7th and 8th Field Artillery Brigades of the 7th and 8th Towns are deployed here. 180 4-inch field guns are divided into four rows. The distance between the front and rear rows is 15 steps. The distance between two adjacent cannons is also
for 15 steps.
This interval does not sound close, but the visual effect is very dense.
At least looking down from the Chinese Army's observation deck, we can see that the front of the Chinese Army and the other five hollow phalanxes are all densely packed with artillery. The ones in the front are 25-inch mountain guns, and the ones behind are 4-inch field guns.
There are 1,080 cannons placed on the front line with a length of seven kilometers!
On average, one cannon is placed every 7 meters. Is it dense or not?
Behind the field artillery position of the Chinese military formation is the position of the Shenhuo Artillery Battalion.
One hundred launchers of the Shenhuo Artillery Battalion have been arranged in a long row, with the guide rails pointing diagonally into the sky.
An observation deck was built on the right side of the Shenhu Cannon Battalion. Several junior students who were just assigned to the Shenhu Cannon Battalion this year were observing the distance to Jiannu from the lookout, and were constantly reporting the observation results.
"We have not yet reported that the Jiannu Army is 2,100 steps away!"
"Report at the next moment, Jiannu's army is 1,900 steps away!"
After Guo Zisheng, who was responsible for the observation, reported the distance, Guo Zisheng, who was responsible for calculating the ballistics, immediately began to nervously calculate the theoretical inclination of the divine artillery and reported it to Zhang Jimeng.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The distance between Jiannu's central army is two thousand one hundred steps, and the inclination is forty-three degrees and twenty minutes!"
"The distance between Jiannu's central army is 1,900 steps, and the inclination is 42 degrees and 50 minutes!"
"Copy that." Zhang Jimeng responded with a straight face, then looked back at the Chinese Army Observation Deck.
The Jiannu Formation has long been within the range of the divine artillery. Why hasn’t the Chinese army given the order yet?
Just when Zhang Jimeng felt restless, a student of the Imperial Academy rushed over and shouted: "The General of the Chinese Army has ordered that the Shenhuo Cannon Battalion fire immediately, the Shenhuo Cannon Battalion fire immediately!"
"God Artillery Battalion received it!" Zhang Jimeng suddenly became energetic.
Then Zhang Jimeng quickly walked to the No. 1 launch pad in the middle as a benchmark.
Seeing Zhang Jimeng coming, the dozen or so artillerymen guarding the No. 1 launch pad also became energetic.
Zhang Jimeng grabbed the ignition rod from the gunner's hand, roared a test fire, and then lit the fuse of the divine artillery.
The fuse burned quickly and soon ignited the two propellant tubes tied under the flying wings. The tails of the tubes violently spit out flames and made a sharp whistle.
This movement was much greater than the Ming Dynasty's previous Divine Fire Flying Crow.
The tail flame ejected from the drug tube almost scorched the Ming artillery beside the launcher.
There is also a huge sound caused by the jet of flames, which can almost pierce the eardrums.
Accompanied by a huge and ear-piercing scream, the bird-shaped divine artillery quickly soared into the sky, then drew a beautiful arc in the air and pounced on the Jiannu army formation on the opposite side.
Seeing this, the Ming army immediately cheered.
"Long live! Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
…
"What the hell is this?"
Li Zicheng couldn't help being surprised when he saw the rockets soaring into the sky from the Ming army's formation.
"Is this... is this the Divine Fire Flying Crow?" Gu Junen was so knowledgeable that he actually guessed that this was the Divine Fire Flying Crow.
"The Divine Fire Flying Crow?" Song Xiance frowned and said, "It doesn't look like it. I remember that the Divine Fire Flying Crow is not such a big size, and it can't fly so high."
After saying this, Li Zicheng also remembered it.
When they attacked Luoyang in the 14th year of Chongzhen's reign, the Ming army used the divine fire flying crow.
The Divine Fire Flying Crow at that time was indeed not that big, nor could it fly so high or so far.
"That's the bold version of the flying crow." Gu Junen added, "So it can fly higher and further than before."
While he was talking, the flying crow of divine fire in the sky had already passed the highest point and started to dive downwards. And judging from its descent trajectory, it was definitely impossible to hit the Jiannu army formation.
"It's a pity." Li Zicheng sighed sadly, "It's just a little short."
Gu Junen and Song Xiance also said with regret: "It would be better if we could just take another hundred steps forward."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sacred fire flying crows had already fallen to the ground, and then a dazzling red light burst out. After a while, a huge explosion sound came from the north bank of Tonghui River, and it took several breaths.
Amid the explosion, a large cloud of smoke gradually rose into the air.
It's such a pity that we didn't blow up the slaves.
…
Sony was also startled just now, with his heart in his throat.
But when he saw that the Ming army's rocket landed in front of the Qing army's formation, and that the landing point was a hundred steps away from the Eight Banners and Han army, Sony's hanging heart fell back into his stomach.
This is still the Ming army in my memory.
The use of firearms is still so casual.
Recalling the cheers of the Ming army just now, Sony decided to take the opportunity to mock the Ming army, which could not only lower the morale of the Ming army, but also help the Qing soldiers overcome their fear.
At that moment, Sony shouted: "Let the warriors shout."
"The weapons of the Ming army secure the world, but they lose the capital and lose their troops!"
After all, I am familiar with the popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the allusions in it are readily available.
So the Xianghuang Banner and Zhenghuang Banner of the main formation of the Chinese Army were the first to shout, and then the Eight Banners Han Army, Green Camp, Eight Banners Mongolia and Outer Mongolia also shouted in unison.
"The weapons of the Ming army secure the world, but they lose the capital and lose their troops!"
Hundreds of thousands of Jiannu slaves were shouting and beating sidecars, carriages, or armor with weapons. The atmosphere was extremely heated, and the mockery of the Ming army reached its peak.
