The Huihui gun is a catapult, a weapon brought back by the Mongols during their expedition to the west. The gun body is made of huge wood, and the joints are connected with metal parts. A cannon shaft is placed horizontally on the gun mount and can be rotated. A long gun fixed on the shaft
The rod is called "slight" and acts as a lever.
Those using one wooden pole as the tip are called single tips, and those using multiple wooden poles tied together to make the tips are called multiple tips. The more tips, the heavier and farther the stone projectile will be. One end of the tip is tied with a leather socket.
It contains stone bullets; the other end is tied to a gun rope, which is several feet long. Small guns have several ropes, and large guns have more than a hundred ropes. Each gun rope is pulled by 1-2 people. When throwing stone projectiles, 1
The man aimed and fired, and the man dragging the cannon at the same time jerked the cannon rope and threw up the other end. The stone bullets in the leather nest were thrown out by inertia and hit the city wall. The effect was very amazing. If the fire blanket and corpses were thrown into the city,
It can also cause fires and plagues.
The Qing Dynasty's Huihui Artillery was a large artillery piece. The artillerymen pushed the huge artillery cart forward to occupy the firing position. The building trucks and crash carts behind were also preparing. After the Huihui Artillery suppressed the firepower, they took the opportunity to attack the city. Tactical weapons such as ladders were of course more important.
Inevitably, after the shelling destroyed a section of the city wall, there would still be a large number of shield cutters waiting to rush into the city and fight hand to hand.
All this arrangement takes a little time.
After the slaves calmed down from the shock, the people on the city wall stopped shooting at them. Some slaves, led by Duncan, ran to the nearby corpse of the serial horse to collect weapons and armor, and by the way, they helped the surviving knights relieve their pain.
While the Qing people were preparing artillery, the slaves were also armed with small weapons. Bows and arrows, chainmail armor, iron helmets, and long scimitars were all the equipment of the elite Qing imperial guards.
Yu Hualong on the city wall was very proud. The steam repeating crossbow had achieved such great results for the first time, which made him a little bit elated. If he could defeat the Qing army's southern expedition, it would not be as simple as the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Maybe when he is nine thousand years old, he will be rewarded with a military position, not too big, just a general soldier. Alas, the weapons designed by the old factory owner are still powerful. Thinking of that incredible old monster, Yu Hualong's heart tightened. "Come on.
People, go and find out how the war is progressing on the Lianfeng. A bunch of idiots, it takes so long to attack a workshop!" A messenger went down to the city to investigate. As the soldier went downstairs, he cursed: Lianfeng
Is that an ordinary workshop? It is all undercover, and the workers are extremely fierce. They pull out the finished and semi-finished products in the workshop to resist, or even put them into iron cans to attack. Even if it takes 10,000 people to attack for a year, it is difficult to say that they can conquer it.
Zhamuhe took advantage of the chaos and snatched a horse. It was a chain horse rescued by splitting the chain. The skilled riding skills quickly made Jianma familiar with its new owner. Zhamuhe untied the heavy vest and collected the horses.
The feathers and arrows of the dead man were all hung on the saddle. Anthony, Duncan and others also stripped off the armor of the dead man and wore them all over. The long scimitar was very sharp and was an excellent horse fighting weapon. Even Liu Ziguang got two of them, and the slave army
After the impact of the chain of horses, another thousand people were killed, and now only more than 800 people were left huddled in the open space near the suspension bridge. Anyway, Yu Xiaolong was in the team, so he was not afraid of shooting arrows from the tower.
The leader of the Huihui artillery army and the staff commanded everyone to place the artillery mount in a position just right to hit the city wall. He did not dare to move forward any further. What kind of force was used to shoot the javelin from the iron factory? It was so fast and hard that it was simply terrifying.
, the exposed artillerymen have little protection, and they will be in trouble if they are shot.
"Load the stone bullets!" the commander ordered, and the round stone balls weighing 150 kilograms were put into the leather nest. The artillerymen also pulled the gun ropes, and the eight giant return guns were waiting for orders from His Majesty the Emperor himself.
The carriages are also ready, with staggered return artillery trajectories placed in front. The tall carriages are about the same height as the city wall. A number of soldiers can be hidden in the small carriages above. When they are pushed to the edge of the city wall, the springboard can be released and they can go directly to the city.
There are stairs inside the carriage, and the infantry below can continuously use the carriage to climb to the top of the city. The body is made of solid wood, covered with iron sheets, and the chassis is very heavy, so it is not afraid of arrows. There are many wooden wheels under the chassis that can be pushed.
, combined with the returning artillery, is an excellent siege combination. Many fortified cities in Shandong Province have been conquered in this way, and this time Liguo City will definitely be conquered quickly.
The shield cutters hid behind the cart, and a large number of archers followed them. When they reached the city, they fired with their bows and arrows. The cart was an iron-shell cart, with a thick pointed tree hanging inside, like a temple.
It is like a bell hammer and is used to break open the city gate. The soldiers hide inside to push the cart and are not hurt by arrows.
There are also a large number of soldiers carrying sacks and ladders. The sacks filled with soil are used to fill the moat so that cars and cars can approach the city wall. (Author: Moats are really good things.) Ladders can be placed directly on the moat.
As a bridge for infantry, you can also climb the city after crossing the river, killing two birds with one stone.
The Qing Dynasty really spent a lot of money on this difficult conquest. All the equipment and equipment were newly made. If they could not conquer a Liguo city, they would not dare to call themselves Qing people outside in the future.
Seeing the majestic building carts and the huge return cannon, Yu Hualong's expression changed: "Huahu, what's the countermeasure?" Yu Hualong was an expert in defending the city, and he looked troubled: "Brother, the steam repeater is
There are not many arrows in stock. They are used up too quickly. There is some stock in the Lianfeng, but I can't take it out. I think the most I can do is kill his truck. The infantry and the car collision are not terrible. That's it.
The artillery is too far away, and we can only be beaten. If a gap is broken in the city wall and their cavalry rushes in, the city will not be saved."
"Then we didn't return the artillery fire to fight them?" Yu Hualong refused to give up.
"Hey, the old factory owner said that thing was too backward and had never been made before." Yu Huahu replied.
"Well, Huahu, please hold on for a while and keep an eye on your nephew in the city. I'll go back to the house to settle down." Yu Hualong, who knew something was wrong, was about to go back and load the Xinruan family into the car.
As soon as Yu Hualong came down from the city, Hui Hui Pao launched an attack.
Following His Majesty's order, the artillery commander waved the red flag. Each gun had two hundred gunners, for a total of 1,600 gunners for the eight guns. At the same time, the gun ropes were jerked, and the gun tips were quickly pulled up.
The stone bullets flew towards the city wall like meteors.
The returning artillery aimed at the same place. The heavy stone bullets came through the air with huge inertia and hit the city wall. The people inside the city wall were shaken and their hearts beat faster. The iron guards in the Tibetan Soldier Cave also felt like their heads were falling.
The soil and stone bullets crumbled, and obvious dents and cracks appeared on the city wall.
The cannons were still firing, and the carriages and crash carts were also advancing forward surrounded by infantry. The loud shouts of killing were accompanied by the roar of stone bullets hitting the city walls, forming a majestic war sonata.
The pale-faced Emperor of the Qing Dynasty smiled faintly, but the soldiers on the iron factory wall were frightened, and the people in the city were even more frightened. It was the first day of the New Year, and I hadn’t had time to eat the dumplings yet. They were all wearing brand new clothes for the New Year. They had just experienced
In the midst of the rebellion, we are still in shock, and we have to face the Qing army's return fire. What should we do? If the old factory owner is here, he must have a way. From the soldiers to the people, everyone thinks so.
The eight turrets kept firing stone bullets. The carriages and infantry had already entered the firing range. Yu Huahu ordered the steam crossbows to counterattack. The firing ports on the city wall became lively again, and the crossbowmen fired like crazy.
The long javelin replaced with a burning arrow shot out like a locust, smashed the iron sheet and got into the truck. The pine oil ignited the inside of the truck. The Qing soldiers who were covered in fire screamed strangely as they fell from the top and were smashed.
On the soldiers pushing the carts, the javelins fired into the infantry group were even more unstoppable. Even the shields were easily pierced. With intensive strikes and high-speed shooting, large areas of Qing infantry were massacred, and several carts were also set on fire.
A raging fire started, and it seemed that it could no longer be used.
The cannons adjusted their direction and specifically bombarded the firing ports of the steam repeating crossbows under the crenels. This time, half of the artillery carriages were replaced with clay pots filled with iron nails and lime. The shells hit the firing ports of the repeating crossbows, causing a choking explosion.
The crossbowmen in the iron factory were so confused by the lime fog that they couldn't open their eyes. The iron nails were fired randomly, and many crossbowmen were injured. If a stone bullet happened to hit the shooting port, it would be even worse. The steam crossbow was damaged, and the crossbowmen were injured.
He was also injured by falling rocks and bricks.
The iron factory's counterattack was suppressed, and the javelins for the crossbows were about to run out.
The more than 800 slave soldiers did not dare to get too close to the city wall for fear of being injured by rubble. The front was full of soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty. Liu Ziguang asked Zhamuhe: "Is there any good way? Brother"
Zhamuhe looked at him and said, "No."
Anthony interjected: "If you can break through the tens of thousands of horses in front of you, and then break through the Qing cavalry who are recharging their strength behind, there should be a glimmer of hope. The premise is, can you?"
I can, but I can only guarantee that one person can do it. With two women and several brothers, it is definitely impossible. Liu Ziguang thought to himself, but he did not say it out loud, he just said: "Infantry is not as scary as chain horses, right?
Let’s all go together and count as many as we can escape.”
Liu Ziguang picked up a cavalry leader's chainmail and helped Peng Jingrong put it on, and threw another piece to Peng Jingwei. Peng Jingwei pouted and said, "I want you to put it on for me too." Liu Ziguang replied viciously: "Do you think I am still you?
A slave? Wear it yourself if you want to survive!"
Peng Jingwei twitched twice and wanted to cry but did not dare to cry. Yu Xiaolong next to her said to please: "Second Miss, I will help you put it on." But she pushed her away and said, "You can put it on yourself."
The Qing's serial horse cavalry couldn't even walk if they put on all the heavy armor, so they just put on the armor on key parts of the upper body, put on their iron helmets, and held the cavalry's small round shields in their hands.
The horses were gathered together and let people with cavalry experience ride them. Liu Ziguang was not good at riding, so he let the two sisters sit on the horse, and he walked on foot with two broadswords to clear the way at the front.
The remnant army of 800 slaves rushed towards tens of thousands of Qing infantry.
Yu Hualong hurried to the mansion with a few personal guards. Walking on the deserted road, suddenly a messenger ran in front of him. It was the boy who had just been sent to inquire about the battle situation of the Lianfeng.
, the helmets of the messengers ran away, and he shouted breathlessly: "Master Yu, the old... the old factory owner... the old factory owner came out. Those who went to attack the Lianfeng all turned against the enemy and followed the old man.
The factory owner is coming to kill us."
The most worrying thing happened. Yu Hualong felt a little dizzy and could hardly stand.
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of the machine sounded, and a black iron monster turned out from the corner of the street. It was covered with steel plates and rivets. It had turrets with movable iron covers all over its body, front, rear, left and right. Under its feet were two rows of iron
The wheels made a screeching sound as they rolled against the bluestone pavement.
The upper body of an old man is exposed on the iron monster in front. The old man is energetic, with white hair and beard. He wears a soft leather hat on his head and holds a large flag with a black shield and a five-pointed star on it. There is a similar car behind it.
The iron monster, followed by the iron guards with red ribbons on their heads and the iron factory workers and their families holding weapons, were in a rage.
Yu Hualong was so shocked that he sat down on the ground.
