Chapter 75 Against Gun

When the rebel's Hongyi cannon was transported to the front, there was an immediate cheer on the side of the rebels, and their morale suddenly rose a lot. In the eyes of the rebels, they had such a big killer on hand. No matter how powerful the birds of Xishan Village were, they could not beat their Hongyi cannons!

So they will then bombard the wall of Xishan Village with Hongyi artillery, which is estimated to be able to bombard the wall of Xishan Village. At that time, the villagers of Xishan Village will definitely be scared to death. At that time, they will rush up again, and it is estimated that they can easily take the Xishan Village.

So the rebels began to relax again, became excited, became much more arrogant, and became a little confused about their surnames.

Zhang Tao held his big mouth, looked at their Hongyi cannon proudly, and proudly ordered, "Push the cannon up, set it up, and aim at the Xishan Village. Give them a few shots first, and let them taste our strength. The tigers don't show their power. They really think I'm Sick cat! Give it to me! It's better to bombard them all to death and turn them into rotten meat!"

Dozens of rebel gunners, commanding those civilians, take away the mules that dragged the cannons, and began to push the clumsy cannons forward.

Although the Hongyi cannon has a long range, it is only compared with the previous artillery. Some Hongyi cannons are overloaded with gunpowder. During the trial release, under the anti-air shooting angle, it can indeed hit the shell five miles away, but that is only experimental data. It is not true. After the muzzle is hoisted, the cannon is considered It's far away, but the accuracy is already terrible. Not to mention bombard the not too high wall, even if it is used to bombard the tall wall, it is difficult to hit it effectively.

So when actually using it, Ming gunners often release the enemy within a one-mile before bombarding, and it is not the kind of accurate aiming shooting, but a rough shooting to attack those face-shaped enemy groups.

So in Zhang Tao's order, the rebel gunner drove a large number of civilians, dragged them with ropes, pushed them with their hands, and pushed the Hongyi cannon towards Xishan Village, and arrogantly pushed the Hongyi cannon to the outside of Xishan Village, about 300 meters and less than 400 meters before stopping.

What makes the sea wolf officers on the wall of Xishan Village even feel angry is that these rebels don't even have the basic common sense of defense guns. They put the cannon on the open space so that the people on the wall can see their actions at a glance.

When Dai Fang and Wu Shengtian saw the rebels so careless, they couldn't help but scoff at them. In fact, they can't blame these rebel gunners for being too vigilant, because these rebels from top to bottom, no one knows that Xishan Village actually has cannons, but they have not been exposed to let them know.

They think that the cannon is three or four hundred steps away, which is already very safe. Even if there is one or two artillery pieces in Xishan Village, they will not have Hongyi cannons.

And ordinary artillery, even if it is a large copper cannon, can hit more than 200 steps at best. Their Hongyi cannon is three or four hundred steps away and should be absolutely safe.

Therefore, after pushing the cannon outside the village, they did not even take any cover measures. They unloaded some gunpowder barrels and shells from the carriage and placed them directly next to the cannon.

Dai Fang snorted coldly, "Didn't you hear that these Ming military gunners were trained by the Flang machine people themselves? Why don't you even have this common sense? This is a serious violation of regulations! Mom, isn't it looking for death to put the gunpowder barrel next to the cannon? Since it's sent to the door like this, don't blame me for being rude! Come on, start loading and aim at the Hongyi cannon! Damn, aim a little and try to kill it as fast as possible!"

The gunner of the two cannons said without saying a word. Even if they began to load, the loading action was as skillful as a choreography dance, which was strong, powerful and closely connected, which was amazing.

After several years of development, with the improvement of raw materials provided by the basic industry of Sea Wolf and the improvement of processing technology, Sea Wolf's artillery has been operated differently from the previous way.

In the past, the adjustment of the high and low angle of artillery used to rely on several set steps to adjust with cushion wood, but now it has been improved to bolt adjustment, which makes it easier to adjust the artillery and has higher aiming accuracy. It has even developed a very simple one, but can effectively improve it. The aiming accuracy of the sight makes the accuracy of the artillery higher.

Therefore, the gunners of the two guns leaned over the sight on the gun rack and rotated the handle quickly with their hands. The barrel shook the handle with them and began to slowly raise the muzzle until after aiming at the target, the two gunners shouted, "The aim is finished!"

At this time, the rebel gunners can be said to know nothing about the movement on the wall of Xishanzhai. A large group of people, including those who were forcibly recruited, gathered next to the Hongyi cannon. Although the people were kidnapped, they were also very curious about this legendary killer and stretched out their heads to watch the scene. Anyway, at this time It's not forcing them to attack Xishan Village, and they are not too uncomfortable.

Those rebel gunners are busy filling the Hongyi cannon with ammunition at this time. They still haven't made much progress at this time. Even if Sun Yuanhua specially invited Portuguese artillery training from Macao to teach them through the church, he did not change them much technically.

These Hongyi cannons are still using bulk gunpowder. Based on the gunner's experience, they fill the gunpowder into the gun chamber, then use the gunner to pass the gunpowder into the medicine chamber at the end of the gun chamber, then take a solid iron bullet, put it into the muzzle, fill the gun chamber to pound it hard, and pour the diluant into the door of the gun.

However, after the Portuguese coach, these rebel gunners are relatively skilled, at least they have no hairs and know how to cooperate with each other. In the Daming army, this is rare.

After loading the shells, they began to adjust the height of the barrel. In this era, the Hongyi cannon is still a relatively advanced artillery. The barrel is relatively long, and the casting shape of the barrel is more in line with the actual needs. Moreover, the gun body has a gate and a sight for the gunner to aim.

Under the service of dozens of gunners, the Hongyi cannon was finally ready, but before they fired, they heard two thunderous roars on the other side of the Xishan village wall.

Two dazzling flames spewed out from the wall of Xishan Village, and raised a large area of light cyan gunpowder smoke. Then two roars were heard in everyone's ears. The two shells immediately roared and hit the rebel Hongyi cannon. The shells were left and right, one shot forward. Some, one shot over some distance, landed near the rebel Hongyi cannon.

The rebels and civilian husbands who were watching the bustle were immediately shocked, and many people quickly hugged their heads and seemed to feel safer.

The two shells did not directly hit the Hongyi cannon, but the landing point was not too far. The six-pound shell landed only six or seven meters away from the Hongyi cannon, and immediately killed several people who gathered nearby to watch the hustle and two rebels, while the 12-pound shell fell about ten meters to the left. On the right, only two civilians were killed.

Several people died. After being stunned for a while, they immediately dispersed and fled in all directions with screams. It was also a pig that there were two cannons in Xishan Village, and it was estimated that they were also Hongyi cannons, which were about to destroy the rebels' Hongyi cannon.

The rebels panicked all of a sudden. They never thought that there were two such big killers hidden in the small Xishan Village, which could reach their Hongyi cannon.

This time, Zhang Tao was a little completely dizzy and secretly said in his heart, what is the reason for this big family in Xishan Village! How can you even get the Hongyi cannon? This red cannon is now Ming, but it is a standard rare thing. There are only about 20 people in the whole Denglai army, and each door costs as high as 1,000 taels of silver. Even if the big people in Xishan Village are very rich, how can they get this kind of Hongyi cannon?

And one guy is two doors. Can't this mother let people live? He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly remembered that this was not the time when he was stunned. The other party had a Hongyi cannon, so it was not safe on his side, so he quickly took his own soldiers, retreated a distance, and hurriedly ordered his Hongyi cannon to fire, thinking that he could take a step ahead and collapse the wall, preferably simply connect The two Hongyi cannons smashed together, and then they were safe.

The rebel gunner was suddenly shelled by the other party's Hongyi cannon. He suddenly panicked, but he did not dare to run, so he had to surround the cannon and wait for the order to fire the cannon.

At this time, Dai Fang on the wall was observing the landing point of the shell with a telescope. When he saw the landing point, he turned around and said coldly, "The No. 3 gun is close to the arrow, and the No. 5 gun is missing! Retarget! Pret to be a flower bomb!"

The gunners actually don't need his instructions at this time. Some people are also observing the bullet point. In addition, other gunners have begun to clean up the gun room, extinguish the remnants in the gun room, wipe the gun room with a wet gun brush, and clean the gun room again with a dry gun brush. The fixed medicine bag has been sent to the muzzle, waiting for Dai to order to load some bullets. Planted.

After receiving the order to fill the flower bomb, someone immediately took a flower bomb, but the six-pound gun did not have a flower bomb, so they could only continue to use solid bullets for shelling.

Because of its long barrel, the direct aiming accuracy is higher than that of the 12-pound mountain howitzer, so although there is no flowering bomb, it can be fired directly.

The gunner of the two guns quickly loaded and reset and aimed again. This time, the gunner aimed much more carefully, taking into account all the factors to be considered and carefully fine-tuned.

Just as they were aiming carefully, the rebel's Hongyi cannon suddenly shook violently, and a flame spewed out of the muzzle, and a large black smoke immediately rose into the air and diffused around.
