Chapter 277 Pingxiang Bloody War 2
Zhang Yuan looked coldly at the traitor who was about to drive the horse back, and said coldly to an archer beside him, "Shoot him off the horse, fire the cannon!" The archer beside him got the order and immediately put on the sharp arrow. With a 'swish' sound, the arrow flew down like lightning and hit the back of the enemy's scout.
A scream sounded, and then the enemy scout fell to the ground heavily. Hao Ge, not far away, looked at it and suddenly became angry. Just as he was about to order the firing of cannons in red to teach the soldiers and horses of the White Tiger Army in Pingxiang City, a deafening sound suddenly shocked the world.
The fire was constantly spewing out of the city of Pingxiang. The fire flashed, but in a moment, a cannonball shot into his army. Suddenly, there were countless casualties and screams everywhere.
The army of the Green Camp of the Qing Army, which was originally neatly lined up, is in a mess at this moment. The 200 red cannons in the front row were the focus of the shelling. Many red cannons were hit and blown upside down, and many gunpowder ignited, exploded again, and the death toll increased.
The sky is cloudy and gloomy and terrible. The cold wind is blowing, which makes people feel scared. The endless screams of sadness in my ears make people feel like they have entered the hell of Shura. The sound of shelling kept ringing, and it did not stop at all. The ground was blown up with potholes. There were corpses and limbs scattered next to the pit, and countless arms and leg bones were scattered everywhere, and there was no complete body.
"How could it be like this!"
Hauge's face was shocked. He let the army be the place where the good tiger squat gun could not shoot. Otherwise, would he be so stupid and willing to be a live target for others? At this time, Haug still didn't understand why the enemy's 'tiger squat gun' was so powerful and the range was so far. According to his experience and the calculations of the Han craftsmen in the army, the range of the tiger squat gun is absolutely not so far.
Why did Hauge send troops with such a lot of fanfare this time? Isn't it just relying on the 200 cannons in red? Now the 200 cannons in red have become a pile of waste, and there is no advantage he can rely on. There is no need to fight this battle. Of course, Hager can still rely on more people to seize the city, but this time he did not bring siege equipment.
Hauge is unwilling, very unwilling. He roared at the guard beside him, "Come on! Go and see how many red cannons can be used, shoot! Shoot! Shoot fiercely at Pingxiang City!" Hauge took out his sword, was furious and kept roaring. Although Hauge's voice was very high, people far away could not hear it at all on this roaring battlefield.
The guards panicked and began to run around to convey the military order.
The 200 artillery pieces were not all destroyed. After all, even if the artillery used by the Pingbei Army has increased its power, in this era, there are no high-precision artillery at all. However, in a few rounds, the results are also very significant. At least Hagrid's soldiers and horses were in chaos. Half of the two hundred cannons in red were blown up, and some were blown to one side, and countless of the artillerymen next to them were killed.
Zhang Yuan looked at the miserable appearance of the Qing army below on the tower, and finally a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He couldn't help sighing that Liu Xia's wisdom was strong. After all, these cannons were ordered by Liu Xia, and Zhang Yuan naturally praised Liu Xia.
Li Wen glanced at the Qing army below coldly, looked at the man who turned upside down, and the body was everywhere. He sneered and said, "Even if it can't be destroyed this time, it will definitely be hit hard."
Zhang Yuan nodded and ordered, "Continue to bombard, no interruption, in case you give the enemy a free time."
Li Wen put the telescope in front of him and carefully observed the situation in the distance. He couldn't help sighing that the telescope was easy to use. He had never used it before. Since he joined Liu Xia's army, Li Wen has always praised the equipment used by Liu Xia's army, which made him feel his favorite. It's this telescope.
"It's amazing!"
"I don't know if I can see the appearance of Tiangong."
"What?" Li Wen was suddenly surprised, and his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly said to Zhang Yuan next to him, "General Zhang, it's not good. Look, there are more than a dozen red cannons gathered over there to prepare our city tower, and it's going to fire cannonballs!"
"What!" Zhang Yuan was surprised. He quickly picked up the telescope and looked in the direction Li Wen said. After looking at it, he immediately shocked Zhang Yuan in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Come on, shoot in that direction. Be sure to stop them!" No, military division, let's leave the tower quickly. I didn't expect that Hager's own army had become a mess, and he was still in the mood to collect artillery fire!"
Li Wen nodded quickly after hearing this, and then walked quickly with Zhang Yuan to other positions. The accuracy of the cannon in red was not high, but if a shell hit the tower, the danger was very high. A shell is not enough to pose a fatal threat to the tower, but it can destroy the building above the tower and kill or injure people on it.
Under the protection of his own soldiers, Hauge has come to the place where more than 20 red cannons have been assembled. In order to prevent the red cannons from being destroyed again, Hauge has set up some small earth walls next to the cannons. The temporary construction is not solid, but there are still some effects.
Hauge looked at the tower of the distant Pingxiang County, sneered and hummed, "I'm not so easy to bully. Even if I can't raze the city of Pingxiang to the ground today, I have to give you a hard time!" After saying that, Hager held a command knife and gave an order. More than 20 artillery on both sides ignited the lead, but for a moment, huge shocks continued to come, and the roar was deafening, like heaven and earth cracking and shaking the earth.
"Boom!"
More than 20 shells rushed to the city tower, but only one of them hit the city tower of Pingxiang County. The other shells either did not hit the city or shot into the city. Or the shot is off.
A shell is not very destructive to the tower. This shell is not as powerful as the shells of the army in later generations. If it is a shell in the army in the 21st century, it will be gone.
Above the North Tower of Pingxiang, two steel cannons were destroyed by the attack of shells. One fell to the bottom of the tower, and the other was smashed by flying rocks. Several soldiers did not know whether they were alive or dead, and their blood was stained all over the tower. Part of the building above has also been destroyed, and the rest has been turned into a dangerous building, which may collapse at any time.
When Haug saw that it did not cause much harm to the other party, his face suddenly became angry and shouted angrily to the launcher beside him, "How did you fire, bastards, how did you shoot? More than 20 cannons, but only one hit. I don't fucking know if it's dead or alive!"
"Aim at the direction and launch again!"
Hauge shouted angrily, which scared the soldiers on both sides and began to point the gun more carefully at Pingxiang County. Prepare to light the fire.
And the steel cannons on the Pingxiang County had already aimed at them before they could be fired. A fire flashed out of the tower, and the sound of gunfire shook the world like thunder. Then where Hagrid was, several shells flew in. Hagrid quickly climbed to the ground, and the guards around him protected Hagrid's body one after another, but the red cannons next to him were damaged and several more were blown up.
"Futam, I've never suffered such a big defeat. Oboi! Oboi, where are you? Get out of here!"
It's too bullying, it's too bullying! Hao Ge was furious in his heart.
The sky is still gloomy. On the battlefield, black smoke is constantly floating up, and the mud and sand is flying in the sky. The blood flowed into a sea, the body was chaotic, and there was no whole body. Many soldiers squatted on the ground or moaned in pain. Their bodies were full of blood, and some of their arms were blown off, and the blood couldn't stop flowing out. A soldier stretched out his hand and pulled it on the ground. A man's head suddenly rolled in front of him. His eyes were open and his hair was scattered. The blood has dried up long ago.
