Under Pang Gang's order, all the artillery in the Qingzhou Army artillery camp turned their heads and fired at the Qing army's artillery positions.
Amidst the bursts of artillery fire, dark projectiles flew toward the Qing army's artillery positions with the anger of the Qingzhou Army.
"Hit me hard!"
"Shoot down the Tatar artillery to me!"
In response to the orders from the artillery battalion to guerrilla Dong Guo, the artillerymen used all their strength to fire at the Qing army's positions.
Since the artillery of the Qingzhou Army was hidden behind the parapets, the artillerymen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty could not see what was going on inside, so they had no way to correct the trajectory. They could only fire randomly at the Ming Army to meet the enemy. Knowing that the previous shelling had
, the gunners of the Ming army on the opposite side must have been eyeing them, they all looked panicked, and the reloading speed was even slower.
The artillery battalion of the Qingzhou Army originally consisted of more than 60 artillery pieces. Previously, in order to support the Xuan Da Army and the Shanxi Army on both wings, more than 30 artillery pieces were specially transferred to support. Now Dong Guo's artillery battalion became angry with the guerrillas and ordered more than 60 artillery pieces.
The artillery was aimed at the Qing army's artillery camp, and the power was naturally astonishing.
Pieces of black artillery shells flew towards them. After the artillery shells landed, they began to explode. Amidst the earth-shattering explosions, Qing soldiers continued to fly into the sky with their cannons, and even the gunners were blown up.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and nearly half of the artillery pieces were even destroyed on the spot.
Seeing the embarrassing appearance of the Qing army's artillery, the soldiers in the Ming army camp cheered. Just one round of artillery fire made the morale of the Ming army soldiers rise. Seeing Pang Gang secretly nodded, artillery can not only give the enemy
With huge damage, it can also boost the morale of one's own side. No wonder later generations say that artillery is the god of war.
On the other hand, the artillerymen in the Qing army not only suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Ming army's artillery, but their movements were even more distorted in the panic.
However, under the strict orders of the Qing army supervisory team behind them, the gunners still had to muster the courage to load the artillery with gunpowder pellets. However, as the saying goes, the busier they got, the more chaotic they became, and soon they were in trouble.
Suddenly there was a loud bang, like thunder on the ground, and a large area of Qing troops and gunners around them were blown to pieces. It turned out that the loading hand of a Hongyi cannon made a mistake in the rush, and he filled the gun into the barrel in panic.
Too much gunpowder caused the artillery to explode on the spot, killing a group of people around it. Even several Qing troops supervising the battle behind were killed.
Seeing the situation on the Qing army's side, the Ming army camp couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At this time, the Qingzhou Army's second artillery bombardment came again. More than sixty explosive shells fell on the Qing Army's artillery camp with a harsh sound. This time, all the Qing Army's remaining artillery pieces were destroyed.
Blow up.
Seeing that his own artillery had not fired a few shots, but was knocked down by the Ming army's artillery. Dorgon frowned and said to Yue Tuo: "General, it seems that the artillery of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty is not good. When we return, we must let
King Gongshun and the others need to build more new artillery. Otherwise, we will be too passive."
Yue Tuo also nodded, "Fortunately, King Gongshun boasted in front of me last time that the Qing Dynasty's cannon-making technology is no less than that of the Ming Dynasty. Now it seems that his boasting is really too big."
At this point, Yue Tuo's eyes shot out a sharp cold light and shouted sternly: "Give me the order to attack! The army stormed the front and two wings of the Ming army, pretending to attack the two wings. Before sunset, my army's offensive must not stop. I want to
Let’s see how long Lu Xiangsheng and Pang Gang can withstand my army’s thunderous offensive!”
Under Yue Tuo's strict order, a row of trumpeters standing behind him raised their horns and started blowing. Under the playing of dozens of trumpeters, the desolate horn sound resounded throughout the Qing army camp.
The Qing soldiers who were originally parked 300 steps outside the Ming army's camp simultaneously let out a burst of earth-shattering shouts. They pushed the shield carts, chariots and other movable things that could protect their bodies in front of the formation, and screamed wildly.
The darkness rushed towards the Ming army camp.
The deafening sound of artillery and the sound of rifles resounded throughout the sky, and the entire Ming army camp was shrouded in thick smoke.
The scenery in May should have been bright. But at this moment, no one came to appreciate the beauty of nature. On this land that was supposed to be beautiful, soldiers from the Ming and Qing Dynasties were fighting desperately. The smoke of gunpowder stifled their noses.
And the thick smell of blood filled all people's senses.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting desperately in this originally unknown small villa. After their plan to use the people of the Ming Dynasty to spearhead the battle and attack the camp failed, Yue Tuo and Dorgon had no choice but to order the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty to use
Fill the trench with their blood and corpses.
Naturally, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army could not agree to the Qing army's idea. They used artillery and rifles to fight back against the opponent's actions.
The Qing army was naturally deeply jealous of the Ming army's artillery and sharp rifles. For this reason, they specially made more than 300 taels of heavy shield carts. Later, they found that the shield carts seemed not enough, so they backed up the carts.
The soil was also covered with a water-drenched quilt, and a layer of wet soil was covered on top. In this way, the defense of the cart was greatly improved. In front of the shield cart, there was a baffle in front, covered with a thick
They were made of cowhide and iron, and even splashed with water to increase their protection. Although the Qingzhou Army's Mini rifles left thick bullet holes in front of them, they still failed to penetrate them.
"Quick, fire, we must knock out the Tatar shield car!"
"Boom..." A well-made shield vehicle was hit by a projectile as big as a bowl. The sturdy shield vehicle collapsed under the violent impact of the projectile, which was as thick as a bowl. Countless people were killed.
Thick wooden sticks flew in all directions, smashing the heads of more than a dozen Qing soldiers around them.
Looking at the densely packed Qing troops, the gunners continued to urge their gunners to speed up their firing. However, at this time they were no longer using the previous blooming bullets. Now they were using solid bullets. Although the blooming bullets were
The effect is better, but the high price of the explosive ammunition limits its large-scale use. Before there is more supply of tungsten ore, even Pang Gang, who is wealthy, does not dare to cash in the explosive ammunition without limit.
"Sir, our artillery has fired more than 20 shots continuously. The barrel of the gun is too hot. We have to stop for half a stick of incense, otherwise the barrel will crack!" The gunners kept reminding them in time!
His own gunner.
"You bastard, you gave those dog Tatars an advantage!" A firecracker cursed bitterly, while picking up a Mini rifle from the back, lying behind the low wall in front and firing at the Tatars behind.
.
Amidst the passionate sound of horns, densely packed Qing soldiers wearing various armors gathered in front of the trench more than 200 steps away from the low wall. Under the protection of chariots and shield vehicles covered with layers of leather and quilts, the auxiliaries of each flag
The soldiers kept ducking out from behind the chariots and throwing the mud bags in their hands into the first trench.
