Chapter 1857 The Battle of Three Rivers (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The deputy general of Shenjiying is Ma Dong, the son of Ma Fang, the general of Jialong Dynasty.

    He watched helplessly as the rebel artillery fired only one round, and the subsequent shells fell on the head of his artillery position as if they had eyes.  The artillery camp he was proud of was badly damaged.

    Those Hongyi cannons that had just finished firing once and were still in the sage time had either their cannon bodies capsized to the ground, or the cannon carriages were destroyed and their muzzles were stamped on the ground and could no longer be used.

    "General, let's retreat first!" the general begged, "We can't hit them at this distance, we'll just take a beating!"

    What?  Push the cannon closer and then fire it?  Do you know how slowly a gun carriage weighing several kilograms moves?  Now that they were exposed, the enemy's artillery was accurate and far away. By the time they advanced a hundred feet and remounted their artillery, the rebels were able to kill them several times.

    "No! There's no reason to retreat without firing a cannon!" Ma Dong's eyes turned red and he roared: "Please ask the mighty and invincible general to cannon!"

    The so-called "Mighty and Invincible General Cannon" are two large iron cannons made by Qi Jiguang based on the specifications of the Yongle cannon.  At that time, Qi Jiguang also wanted to cast bronze cannons, but he also had to have the financial conditions.  We had to settle for the next best thing and replace it with a cast iron gun body.  In order to prevent the barrel from exploding, the barrel had to be thickened and five iron hoops were placed around it.

    As a result, the gun body alone weighed four thousand kilograms, making it almost impossible to fight in the field.  But at least the power is not affected too much, and it can hit as far as three miles away!

    This time, because they were fighting at close range and heard that the rebels had ferocious weapons, Ma Dong gritted his teeth and led out two doors.

    It¡¯s really not in vain, now I¡¯m pointing at these two cannons to fight back!

    Amidst the roaring sound of the artillery, two black artillery shells shot out, flew three miles in the air, and landed in front of the disciples' position!

    This time the distance is much closer, but still 100 meters away!

    "Send three more points of gunpowder!" Ma Dong ordered loudly.

    The gunners were frightened when they heard this. The normal amount of gunpowder can often cause the cannon to explode. If the amount of gunpowder is increased, the cannon will not explode stably?

    "Add! It's absolutely no problem!" Ma Dong said fiercely: "This cannon is exactly the same as the one on the opposite side. If they can hit it, it means they have more charges than us! If they don't explode so many cannons, we won't explode!"

    The gunners nodded one after another to show that they were impressed by the lieutenant's strict logic.  But after adding an extra three points of medicine, no one dared to fire the gun.

    "A bunch of cowards, bring it here, I'll light it up!" Ma Dong's head felt hot and he grabbed the torch

    The artillery staff officer on the opposite side was nervously calculating parameters, trying to knock out the two cannons that might threaten the soldiers. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise and a plume of smoke coming from the distance.

    "What's the situation?" The young staff officers had only used bronze cannons and steel cannons, and they couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

    "It should have exploded. Don't worry about it." The artillery battalion commander was still experienced and immediately changed the target and said: "The enemy's cavalry is coming up."

    ??~~

    According to Admiral Yin¡¯s plan, the Shenji Battalion bombarded the enemy¡¯s formation with red cannons. After creating chaos, the 10,000 Shenshu Battalion cavalry immediately launched an assault on the enemy¡¯s flanks!

    So as soon as the red cannon fired, the cavalry of the Shenshu Camp trotted forward.

    Although the red cannon only fired for one round and then went silent.  On the contrary, the rebel army kept rumbling, and artillery shells hit the Shenji Camp like a hail!

    Obviously Shenji Battalion suffered a big loss, but when the cavalry approached the enemy's position, they were delighted to find that the rebels' formation was loose and loose, like a pie spread extremely thin.

    There are only three sparse rows of gunmen at the outermost periphery, and there is a large open space behind them.

    The cavalry officers were immediately overjoyed. Isn¡¯t this just a food delivery?  !

    It seems that what the above said is true.  The rebels are only good at naval warfare, city defense warfare, and siege warfare, but they know nothing about field warfare

    Okay, originally it was actually said that the rebels were only good at naval battles and would suffer from diarrhea as soon as they landed ashore.

    After the Tangshan defense war, the city defense battle was excluded.

    After the Battle of Baodi, I dare not say that the rebels will not attack the city

    The soldiers all joked privately: After this battle, how can they patch it up?

    But it seems that no one is perfect, and we can still maintain the final advantage of field battle!

    The soldiers could not help but feel their morale rising. They raised their three-eyed blunderbuss high, howled and urged their horses to accelerate, and began to accelerate!

    The first wave to greet them was not artillery, but the rockets from Oda City that had been set on fire in Baodi!

    And the current ¡®Oda City Kaijo¡¯, which is the field version of the rocket, can explode.

    This principle is very simple. To put it bluntly, it is a large two-foot kick.  In other words, the Chacha grenade and the Oda City rocket are combined into one, and it is eclectic

    &nbThe drum beat suddenly stopped, which was the signal to raise the gun.  The three rows of soldiers immediately raised their guns again, repeated the previous actions, and fired a second time!

    Although I didn¡¯t aim this time and just fired based on my general feeling, the intensive firepower still took away a group of cavalry like mowing grass

    Under the dense hail of bullets, the cavalry in the forefront became a complete target.  But they all knew that before the cavalry behind them turned around and fled, they would be hit by the cavalry rushing behind them if they turned around first.  That would be much more exciting than shooting a gun

    So we can only rush forward regardless of everything!

    I have to admit that the soldiers of Shenshu Camp showed great courage and deserved the title of ace cavalry.

    After making great sacrifices, the cavalry in the forefront finally reached the shooting range of the three-eyed gun.  They all held the wooden handles of the fireguns under their left armpits, and took out the smoldering match ropes in their mouths with their right hands.

    There was another burst of gunfire, and most of the cavalry fell down and fell off their horses before they had time to light their three-eyed muskets.

    Only a dozen officers and cavalry lit the three-eyed muskets and fired them randomly.

    The disciple soldiers finally suffered casualties. The soldiers in the front row groaned and fell to the ground, but the back row immediately stepped forward to make up for it. The firepower of the phalanx did not decrease at all (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
