"Sir, be careful." Commander Zhou Jukui pulled Li Yongfang down and climbed to the ground.
Li Yongfang was lying behind a low wall in a ruins, looking at the situation in front of him. He saw the flaming whip flying towards him in an arc.
This place is two miles away from the front, and Li Yongfang doesn't think that there is a musket that can shoot such a distance. Because in the last battle on the grassland, he had seen this kind of whip with tongues of fire. At that time, with this kind of weapon,
Range, this distance is safe.
But what he didn't know was that at that time it was a lightweight three-barreled seventy-nine caliber Gatling machine gun. Now it is a 30mm caliber Gatling cannon. And this time some of the cannons used shotguns instead of shotguns.
, but a single-headed projectile. The range is a full two thousand meters.
A single-head bullet hit the low wall, making a loud noise. Suddenly, brick fragments flew into the sky, and red smoke enveloped the area. Li Yongfang almost peed in fear. Even the broken brick fragments could hit him.
My back hurts wearing scale armor.
Several bricks fell on his back.
When the smoke dissipated, he was horrified to find that there was a V-shaped gap in the low wall. If he hadn't been pulled by Zhou Shen just now, he would have looked like the smashed red bricks.
He knew about this kind of red brick. It uses clay and coal and is fired in a large brick kiln.
His intelligence officers watched every change in Zunhua. This kind of red brick was much harder than the blue brick. It was actually frightening that it was shattered by bullets.
He stuck his head out in panic and looked at the battlefield.
At this time, this place can no longer be described as a battlefield. It is simply a slaughterhouse.
On the high curved wall, there is a watchtower every fifty meters. On the top platform of the watchtower are Gatling cannons. The dense red lines of fire are like the letters of a huge poisonous snake, licking back and forth.
Wherever it passed, houses collapsed and brick walls were shattered.
The car was riddled with bullets and was riddled with sawdust. A single shot broke the front half of the car, which was full of large and small bullet holes. The sand and gravel filled in the car flowed out.
.And when the whip was swept again, the entire shield was completely shattered, and all the people behind were swept into two pieces. Some of them even turned into broken pieces of flesh flying.
At this time, the attack had completely collapsed. No one was still thinking about attacking the city. They were all trying desperately to dodge the flaming whip that seemed to come from hell.
However, they had nowhere to hide. Even the wreckage of buildings in the surrounding shantytowns could not stop the 30mm single-headed bullets. Walls collapsed and houses collapsed wherever they passed, and the Qing troops hiding behind were directly beaten to death.
A pile of minced meat. It can only be cleaned up with a broom.
The sound was like tearing cloth, buzzing and hissing, as if a drill was drilling into their temples. They had completely collapsed.
As soon as I heard this sound, I was so scared that I ran around looking for cover like crazy.
Huang Taiji was on the Drum Tower, looking at the fire snakes raging in the distance, his heart completely fell into the frozen abyss, and he felt chilled all over.
What kind of weapon is this!
The big bow that the Eight Banners is proud of is just a pile of junk in front of this kind of weapon.
The Eight Banners warrior wearing triple armor was beaten in half and even smashed into pieces as soon as he encountered him. He watched as an armored warrior was swept several times by the S-shaped fire snakes of several machine cannons, and only half of it was left.
of people are still standing.
The entire battlefield was running away. Whether it was the Han army flag or the Eight Banners, they threw away their weapons, their carts, and everything that could reduce their weight. They ran back quickly.
They had only one idea at this time, which was to escape from the range of this terrible firearm.
The defeated soldiers were running in front, and the fire snakes were chasing after them in an S-shape. It wasn't until these people fled back to the southeast of Zunhua that the fire snakes stopped shooting.
However, the cannon stopped firing and another weapon appeared.
Boom, boom, boom! That terrible sound of cannons sounded again.
Gas tank mortar shells flew in arcs towards the direction of the Eight Banners' retreat.
Boom! With an earth-shaking loud noise, the shell exploded three hundred meters east of the Drum Tower.
The huge fireball and strong wind blew open all the windows in the Drum Tower. All the window paper was shattered. The blazing strong wind blew everyone's cheeks.
Huang Taiji, the Belles, and the generals were blown to the ground by the strong wind.
Immediately afterwards, several more artillery shells fell around. Where they landed, a huge explosion destroyed all buildings within a radius of fifty meters, and various building components flew into the sky.
These burning components fell everywhere, not only killing and injuring the eight flags who were taking refuge, but also ignited a fire.
Half of the city of Zunhua burned down. The raging fire roasted the Qing army.
"Great Khan, this place is also within shooting range. We cannot stay any longer and must evacuate the city immediately." Dorgon shouted loudly. Because most of their ears were buzzing from the shock, their voices could not be heard at all.
Dorgon didn't care about Huang Taiji's life or death, but his own life was important.
This time, Huang Taiji immediately followed his example. He was carried down the stairs and quickly retreated out of the city.
On the way to retreat, several more artillery shells fell on Southeast City. They were so frightened that they ran away desperately, fearing that the next artillery shell would fall on their heads.
Soon, there were no Qing troops in the entire city of Zunhua. They all retreated out of the city.
The Qing army retreated outside the city and immediately broke out of camp without any delay.
The camp was retreated five miles outside the city. Only when it was certain that the place was safe and the defenders could not hit them even if they mounted the terrifying heavy artillery on the city wall did they feel at ease.
Luo Siyuan didn't expect the machine gun to be so effective. He was also a little surprised.
Machine guns and mortars made the entire Zunhua City unsafe. Jiannu decisively withdrew from the city. Luo Siyuan thought about it and realized that Jiannu was now too timid to attack Zunhua City again.
"Dong Tianping, take people out and take over the city. Block all four city gates with sandbags." Luo Siyuan issued the order.
"Li Xiangjin, you take Minzhuang out to put out the fire. Gu Jingde, you take people to search and kill the stragglers."
As the arrangements went on, the gate to the industrial zone opened. A large number of militiamen and civilians went out to take over the city, clean up the battlefield, etc.
Since Jiannu has retreated, let's simply restore the city first.
By nightfall, all four city gates had been blocked. At this time, even if they were hit with a battering ram, they could not be opened. The city walls were once again covered with militiamen and civilians.
Arrangements were also made for more than 200,000 refugees who fled from the industrial zone to return home.
They cried and howled, ran back to their houses to put out the fire, and grabbed as many useful supplies as possible.
The black men told them that the slaves had suffered great losses and would not attack the city again.
Even if they attack the city, what will happen? Under the bombardment of Gatling cannons and heavy artillery, there is no safe place in the city. As long as they are not fools, they will not fight again.
Huang Taiji looked sadly at the tall Zunhua City Wall in the distance, with a look of cuteness on his face.
"Great Khan, if we cannot control Zunhua City, our retreat will be threatened. We must find a way to defeat it," Dai Shan said loudly.
