Chapter 468 Cannonballs

After the artillerymen removed the forts on the mountain, they began to bombard the Dabi Mountain fortress. Dabi Mountain had been transformed into a fortress by Dorgon, and the entire hill was densely covered with high platforms and trenches. But regardless of these fortifications

It's so solid that it's just a target in the eyes of the artillerymen of the Frontier Regiment. As long as there are many people on a high platform on the mountain, there will be explosive shells to greet you there.

The bombs seemed to have eyes, roaring towards targets one after another. Explosive air waves exploded one after another on the mountain, and the shotgun pellets swept over the high platforms like a god of death, injuring and killing the Qing soldiers above.

.

Dabi Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, lost its defensive role in the face of the artillery. The Qing troops guarding Dabi Mountain became weak and could only be beaten and could not fight back. They were bombed to the point of howling like ghosts and wolves. The soldiers on the mountain fled and hid.

Behind the bunker, hiding behind the raised mountains, hiding in potholes, in short, looking for any place to hide.

Being bombarded by artillery is an extremely terrifying thing, let alone explosive bombs. The morale of the Qing soldiers plummeted. After several rounds of bombings, the Qing troops on the mountain fell into chaos.

Some soldiers even ran out of the high platforms they were defending and ran to other high platforms where they were less vulnerable to shells.

Melezhang Jinggeleru of Zhengbai Banner is a subordinate of Dorgon, the leader of Zhengbai Banner. He is standing in the watchtower on the top of the mountain with Dorgon watching the Ming army's bombing of Dabi Mountain. Melezhangjing is on various occasions.

The status of the banner is second to that of Gushan Ezhen. There are several banners in each banner, and they assist the banner owner in managing the affairs of the banner. On the battlefield, Mele Zhangjing can also lead a party of troops to fight.

Of course, Gelulu didn't want to go to the battlefield. After the Ming army Li Zhi arrived, going to the battlefield became an extremely dangerous thing. Li Zhi's muskets and cannons would easily kill all the Qing soldiers who rushed in front.

Li Zhi changed the way the Qing soldiers fought. Even the Qing generals who were used to taking the lead now had to hide and command from behind.

Geleru was worried about whether the watchtower would be bombed by Li Zhi, but he heard Dorgon say calmly: "Gelelu, the soldiers below were confused by the bombs. Please take some people down there."

Take command and stabilize the morale of the troops!"

Grelu suspected that he had heard wrongly. Wouldn't it cost his own life to go down below to take command during such a bombardment by the Ming army? He said "Ah?", full of disbelief.

Dorgon was a little unhappy and said: "I'll let you go down and take command! Stabilize the morale of the army!"

Dorgon was not an easy master to serve. Geleru did not dare to disobey his order and agreed reluctantly. He took a dozen personal guards and walked out of the watchtower on the top of the mountain tremblingly.

On the first high platform outside the enemy tower, the Qing army on top was in great confusion. Dozens of soldiers were all lying on the innermost part of the high platform, lying on the ground to avoid the explosive bullets that might be shot up. Gelu Lu pulled out his whip and went up to cover his head and face.

Whip, shouted loudly: "Lie down on the edge of the high platform! How to defend yourself while hiding inside? What if the Ming army climbs the ladder to attack?"

The soldiers saw that Melezhang Kyoto led the troops out of the enemy tower and regained some courage. They got up and ran to the edge of the high platform and lay down again. Although they were still lying on the ground, at least the soldiers were guarding the high platform and could defend themselves at any time.

The Ming army attacked the mountain.

After teaching these soldiers a lesson, Geleru boldly continued to walk down the mountain, beating the Qing troops who were huddled in the corner in a panic, forcing the Qing troops to return to the edge of the high platform. Geleru walked along the winding steps down the mountain from the top of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, the Qing army was taught a lesson by Geler and some order was restored.

However, Gelulu's actions soon attracted the attention of the artillerymen at the foot of the mountain.

Twenty heavy artillery pieces were specifically aimed at this senior official of the Qing army and fired at him.

Geleru was teaching dozens of Qing soldiers on the mountainside when he suddenly heard a scream-like sound breaking through the air. Dozens of artillery shells drew dozens of death curves in the air and flew towards him.

Le Lu was so frightened that he threw away his whip and fell to the ground in panic, holding his head.

Twenty shells fell within fifty meters near Geleru. They bounced and killed three Qing soldiers who were unlucky to be shot. Then the shells rolled on the ground for a while and exploded.

Gleru felt huge sparks coming out from all directions. The terrible explosion blew the entire platform over, and iron projectiles flew everywhere. Fortunately, Geluru was lying on the ground and was not hit. But when the shells waited,

After the explosion, Gelulu found that his braids had been lifted to the top of his head by the air waves, and there were two iron pellets falling next to him.

On the high platform, five or six Qing soldiers who were too close to the explosion point of the shells were shot. The shells pierced the bodies of these Qing soldiers, spurting out large amounts of blood. The wounded soldiers rolled and twitched on the ground, miserable.

He groaned, and Grelu's face turned pale.

This Li Zhi's flower bomb is really overbearing.

How come twenty cannonballs were fired at the high platform where he was? He was being targeted by Li Zhi? Geleru became frightened and lay on the ground without daring to get up.

A minute later, the twenty heavy cannons aimed at Grelu fired again. Another twenty shells were fired at Grelu. This time the artillery's accuracy was better, and two shells fell next to Grelu.

Black smoke was billowing from the fuse.

Grelu was so frightened that he peed his pants, crawled on the ground and rushed towards the place where there were no shells.

Only a few booms of artillery were heard, and another twenty rounds of explosive shells exploded. Fortunately, Geleru ran fast and was not hit by the bombs.

However, there were five or six Qing soldiers around Gelulu who were slow to escape and were killed by the explosion. One Qing soldier's left hand was blown off, exposing the white bones inside. He screamed and covered the wound with his hands, but he could not cover it.

Live blood gushing out like spring water.

The Qing soldiers on this platform had lost their order. Seeing two rounds of artillery shells aimed at this small high platform, they no longer dared to stay here, and one by one they set up ladders and climbed up to other high platforms.

Geleru secretly wondered if he was being targeted by the Ming army? He didn't dare to lie. He looked around for a while and found a solid-looking stone house a hundred meters away.

This house was used for officers to rest, and it was quite solidly built. Grelu ran to the back of the stone house, only to see that the back was already crowded with Qing soldiers hiding from shells.

When the Qing soldiers saw that Melezhangjing found himself hiding here, they all looked panicked, thinking that Geleru wanted to teach them a lesson. But Geleru himself was also here to escape, so he had no nerve to scold other Qing soldiers. He kicked him away

Several Qing soldiers blocking the road walked into the back of the stone house with their guards and sat on the ground.

However, Grelu overestimated the defensive power of this stone house.

Another twenty rounds of explosive bullets flew and hit the stone house hard. The stone house collapsed under the impact of the explosive bullets and turned into a pile of rubble.
