Four thousand Han troops rushed towards the city wall of Jinzhou in a swarm, but there was order in the "chaos". In addition to the 600 Han troops carrying ladders and 400 carrying shield chariots, there were another 3,000 people including a thousand archers.
, responsible for getting under the city wall and "shooting" arrows at the top of the city to cover their own attempt to climb the city and hit the city gate. The other two thousand were carefully selected strong soldiers, who were also the backbone of the siege.
Azig was not obsessed with anger. He knew that there were Ming army cannons at the top of Jinzhou City, so he only let the Han troops rush forward, but ordered the Eight Banners soldiers to stand by on the spot until the Han troops arrived at the city.
See you soon.
Li Shutai was not a fool, and naturally he could not risk being hit by the Ming army's artillery fire and rush forward with the Han army. He led the one hundred soldiers given to him by his father Li Yongfang, and a few more from Abatai.
Ten Manchu Goshiha were there to supervise the formation. If any Han army dared to turn back, they would step forward and kill them.[
Although the 4,000 Han troops knew that it was dangerous to charge the city, they were all brave. As Ming troops, they all believed that it was impossible to hold Jinzhou with only 2,000 or 3,000 remaining soldiers. In addition, there were Eight Banners soldiers behind them to supervise the formation.
If he didn't charge, he would be hacked to death by them. They had no choice but to spread their legs and run forward, hoping not to be hit by the artillery fire from the city.
On the top of the city, Shi Dayong had been waiting, waiting for the Jin army's infantry to rush into the range of the Hongyi cannon.
The artillerymen responsible for firing were all from the Liaodong Army of the original ancestor Dashou. There were more than 400 people in total. They were led by Li Fu, a guerrilla from the artillery battalion. This man had personally lit the "powder" to trigger the explosion and injured Shi Dayong that day. That firing was also
It was his first actual combat since taking up the guerrilla role in the Jinzhou Artillery Battalion. Although it was his own family members who were bombed, it also gave him valuable practical experience and gave him a clearer understanding of the range and power of the Hongyi cannon.
However, when Jiannu came to persuade him to surrender, he said that Commander Zu had surrendered, which made Li Fu and the gunners a little confused. They had always regarded themselves as subordinates of Commander Zu, and they relied on Zu Dashou for his good command of the army.
Most of them only knew about the Commander-in-Chief, but not about the Emperor. So when they suddenly heard that Commander-in-Chief had surrendered, Li Fu and the gunners were troubled and didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Shi Dayong discovered it early and told them that it was just an empty threat from the slave builders. How could Commander Zu surrender to them? They must still be holding on at this moment. As long as we can hold Jinzhou, Commander Zu and the soldiers and civilians in Dalinghe City will be able to
There is hope, but if Jinzhou falls, Commander Zu will have no hope at all.
After hearing this, Li Fu and others suddenly came to their senses and angrily scolded Jiannu as despicable for deceiving them by using the surrender of their ancestral commander. They must let them taste the power of Hongyi cannon!
The artillery camp settled down, and Shi Dayong breathed a sigh of relief. Looking again, those Jin Army infantry had entered the range of the Hongyi cannon!
"fire!"
Upon hearing the order, the gunners immediately took the burning torches that had been prepared and burned them against the fuse exposing the powder chamber.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Twelve authentic Hongyi cannons purchased from the Portuguese first erupted with fury, and the cannons roared out from the muzzles and flew towards the Jin army in the distance.
The sharp sound of the cannon was very harsh.
There was a loud bang, and a cannon hit a shield truck. The shield truck was blown to pieces on the spot. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the wooden wheels flew into the air, and then instantly hit the ground. With a "thunder" sound, it shattered into pieces.
group.
The four Han soldiers driving the shield car were blown off in two places by the cannon. As lead, iron pieces, and stones flew, dozens of Han soldiers were killed or injured. Within a few feet, there was a mess.
.
Twelve cannons hit twelve places respectively, causing fatal injuries among the dense crowd of Han troops.
The screams rang out, and many Han soldiers were directly hit by cannons. Their bodies were blown up into countless pieces, and their hands and feet flew all over the sky. It was horrifying.
The Han soldiers who were not killed on the spot just wished they could die early, rolling on the ground in pain and screaming miserably.
The Han Army, who was blinded by the bombing, was even more crazy and scratching his eyes randomly, but he could no longer see them. The broken eyeballs were taken out by his fingers and stuck to the palm of his hand. Gradually, he couldn't even see what they were.
Can't tell the difference either.
"good!"[
It was clear from the top of the city that these twelve cannons killed at least hundreds of Jin Army infantry. The soldiers cheered with excitement. Cao Bianjiao also slapped his thigh heavily and shouted excitedly towards the artillery camp:
"Good fight, good fight! Fight, keep fighting, blow up the Tartars until their parents can't even recognize them! As many as they come will die!"
Shi Dayong also smiled and nodded. The Hongyi artillery was really powerful. He deserved the shot he received. The artillery battalion's artillery fire was really accurate, which also boosted the morale of the Ming army!
However, the sixteen red barbarian cannons imitated by the Ministry of Industry were not as powerful as the original Portuguese ones. Four of the cannons missed the direction, and one of them misfired, which frightened the gunner and the nearby Ming army. Fortunately, they were heartbroken.
, it was just a misfire and no explosion in the chamber. After carefully cleaning it with an iron hook, the crisis was resolved.
Strictly speaking, the cannons used in the dozens of red barbarian cannons imitated by the Ministry of Industry were not blooming, because Shi Dayong saw that the cannons fired did not explode like fairy flowers like the Portuguese ones, but seemed to just explode into
Most likely, the lethality is nowhere near as powerful as flowering.
But no matter what, ten shots hit the Jin army, killing and wounding no less than 200 people.
In places that had been blasted by artillery, the remains of ladders and shield carts could be seen everywhere. Human corpses lay here and there, and there was blood everywhere.
"Spread out! Spread out! Spread out quickly!"
"No retreat, no retreat!"
"Forward, forward!"
Under the officers' orders, the Han troops dispersed one after another and rushed forward in fear. Although the Ming army's artillery fire was terrifying, the consequences of not charging were even more terrifying.
While the Hongyi cannons at the top of the city were busy changing their charges, the Han troops rushed forward for more than a mile, and were only a little over a mile away from the city wall.
The distance was too close, and the Hongyi artillery had to adjust its position and muzzle to target the Jin army more than a mile away, but this was too time-consuming, and it also had to prevent the Jin army's follow-up troops from coming.
After observing, Shi Dayong discovered that the Jin army was only charging with infantry, and the cavalry did not move. From the shouts of the Jin soldiers under the city, he could tell that these infantry were not Manchus or Mongols, but Han!
Mrs. Hong is using the Han people as cannon fodder!
He decisively ordered that the Hongyi artillery did not need to be adjusted and was ready to be ready. As soon as the Jin army's cavalry came up, they would fire immediately to cut off their contact with the Han army.
"Fire all the cannons for me!"
Amidst the roar, more than forty small cannons of various types were fired at once. Amidst the roaring sound of the cannons, iron balls were fired at the Jin army's infantry.
The iron ball hit the ground, jumped up again in an instant, and swept across like the tail of a comet, smashing the golden soldiers in front of it into puddles of mud.
More than forty iron balls jumped down and up on the battlefield. Each time they jumped, it was a life.
The iron ball still had its remaining momentum, jumped again, and hit the head of a Han soldier who was surrendered behind him hard. The iron ball was embedded in his head, and his brains flowed all over the floor.
An iron ball didn't know how to jump, but it passed directly through the belly of a Han soldier, instantly taking away all the flesh and bones, revealing a large, empty round hole "Puff, Puff, Puff."
” with blood.
"Pack!"[
Li Fu rushed to the city when he saw the Jin soldiers' shield chariot. He hurriedly waved the flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Fire the cannon, blow it up, blow it up for me!"
The small cannons fired one after another, but their firing was inconsistent and uneven.
Even though those shield trucks were so close, it was very difficult to hit them. More than 40 small cannons fired one after another, but only one shot hit one shield truck and several others behind it.
Jin Bing. When the shield chariot was hit, it quickly split apart. Each piece of wood stabbed a Han soldier, and came out through the chest. The soldier was struggling as if he was nailed there, but he was
I can't move at all.
A guerrilla was so unlucky that he escaped the blow of the red cannon, but he could not escape an iron ball. His left leg was smashed by the fast iron ball, and blood suddenly poured out. He held the only remaining
Half of the broken legs were wailing.
After experiencing artillery attacks, the Jin army finally approached the city wall after suffering more than a thousand casualties. They no longer had to worry about the Ming army's artillery on top of the city.
But when they rushed across the moat and climbed up again, they found that hundreds of dark things, like paper-wrapped things, suddenly appeared at the crenellations on the city wall. The things were full of small black holes. I don’t know.
What is it.
One of the soldiers surrendered by the Han army looked familiar. He seemed to have seen that thing somewhere. When he took a closer look, he immediately remembered it and almost laughed out loud. Isn’t that thing the fireworks display held by wealthy people in the pass during the New Year!
The Ming army went crazy and used fireworks as cannons!
The Han soldiers who recognized them knew that the fireworks and firecrackers could not kill anyone, so they rushed forward without fear. The Ming army on top of the city also lit up the fireworks and firecrackers. Suddenly, like meteors, several crenels erupted into the city in colorful colors.
’’s flame.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The fireworks and firecrackers representing the celebration exploded among the Jin army. After only a few dozen blasts, the Han troops changed their color. Although the fireworks and firecrackers couldn't kill anyone, they couldn't help so many of them exploding at the same time!
Amidst the sound of "thunderbolt", Jin Bing covered his face and screamed, but his eyes were blown up by the fireworks and his face was bleeding.
Except for the officers who have armor on their bodies, the soldiers don't have armor on their bodies. The fireworks and firecrackers are coming so densely that people are hiding everywhere. They are either exploding on their faces, on their bodies, or on their heads or feet.
The sound made the soldiers of the Han army jump as high as rabbits in shock.
Amidst the smoke, two to three thousand Han soldiers were jumping around on the moat. Azig and Li Shutai, who could see in the distance, were confused, thinking that the Ming army had used some new weapon. In the telescope,
Huang Taiji watched carefully and laughed out loud: "The general guarding the city is very interesting. He actually used fireworks as firearms. It is interesting and interesting." Please remember: () and strive to provide the most refreshing reading experience!
