Chapter 97 Battle of Shanhaiguan 3
Those large and medium-sized army gunners have been unable to stand it for a long time. How can they continue to be stunned at this time? So one by one, the red-hot strips were immediately connected to the fire door of the cannon body.
The gunners of several cannons move more strangely. Instead of lighting the fire, they pulled the rope in their hands together. It turned out that these heavy guns, now the firing mechanism has been replaced with a flimping device, and there is no need to use torches or red burning strips to point cannons, which also makes their operation more It was much safer. As soon as they pulled the gun rope, the flimp came down immediately and ignited the medicine in the fire door. In an instant, in the array of the large and medium army, it also began to emit flashes one after another. Then there was a strong mass of gunpowder smoke, and soon the rumble of the gunfire spread all over the battlefield.
Huang Taiji has been staring at the situation of the battlefield in the distance in front of him. He expressed satisfaction with the accuracy of the cannons on their side. The accuracy of the second round of shelling is obviously much more than that of the first round. It seems that killing can sometimes play a good role. At least dozens of people were killed and injured in this round of shelling. The generals of the army let the Dazhong Army taste their strength first.
However, the next performance of the Dazhong Army made Huang Taiji's heart suddenly. He clearly saw a lot of shells fall into the Dazhong army array, and set off a mass of blood fog, flying up broken limbs and arms, but he did not see the chaos he expected. The team of the Dazhong Army suffered such a After the attack, as if nothing happened, he continued to move forward step by step, and the formation continued to maintain the amazing neatness. These shells fell among them, as if they did not play any role, and did not have much impact on the morale of the army at all.
Huang Taiji's heart suddenly became excited, including the slaves and chiefs under his command, their eyes widened one by one. They haven't seen any army that can not panic under their cannon bombardment, but today's performance of the Dazhong army is an eye-opener. They can't think of these men. How could a barbarian do this? After being shelled on the battlefield, he could still be shocked.
Think about it, although their slave army has always been known as brave and good at fighting, they could not be as the Dazhong Army when they were shelled. Therefore, including Dai Shan and other slave chiefs who had not fought with the Dazhong Army, when they saw this scene, their scalps began to tighten one by one, and the calmness of the Dazhong Army was already Beyond their expectations, can there be an army that behaves like this on the battlefield, or can they defeat it?
At this time, a bright color suddenly flashed in the eyes of all Jiannu, and then every Jiannu soldier's eyes widened.
In the array of the Dazhong army, those cannons finally began to roar at this time. The shells roared like hail and flew into the battlefield, and as if they had eyes, they bumped into the Han soldiers who were marching towards the Dazhong Army. .
This time it was lively. Jiannu fired more than a dozen heavy guns at a time, but the Dazhong army did not open fire. As soon as they opened fire, dozens of cannons roared together. The shells fell like hail. Immediately, those Han soldiers of the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion were unlucky. After these shells landed, they were also borrowed. Helping the rebound on the ground jump up and fly forward, a series of slaves who blocked them along the way tore up until they completely lost their energy and stopped, but the nightmare was not over at this time. After some of the shells stopped, they were still smoking, and suddenly exploded with a bang. A piece of fire and smoke, the broken shell immediately flew around like a rainstorm. The slaves who were close to these shells, even if they were torn apart by these shrapnel, in front of these flying shrapnel, the armor on these slaves were like paper paste, which was torn apart in an instant, and then the shrapnel tore apart their bodies. Tore their internal organs and scatter their limbs.
Originally, the training of Han soldiers in Wuzhenchao Haba Camp was far from the systematic training of the Dazhong Army. Although they learned to train the Dazhong Army according to the cat and the tiger, they just learned a little fur. It was simply a false appearance. Under the hard supervision of the King of Sanshun, they arranged the formation. , and slowly pushed forward, but compared with the neatness of the Dazhong Army's front, their formation could not be as neat as the Dazhong Army's queue at all. Although they also followed the drummer to beat the drum to control the speed of the march, it was still a little like at the beginning, but when they took a hundred steps, their array If you look at it again, it will be terrible. From the side, the whole is like a snake. No matter how the officers in the army scold, they can no longer maintain the neatness of the queue.
This alone can see the gap between them and the Dazhong army. Now it has been bombarded by this cannon for a while, and the Wuzhenchaoha camp under the command of the Sanshun King immediately began to mess up.
Since these people have surrendered to Jiannu, first of all, these people have no national consciousness in their bones, which shows that these people are not people who dare to die. Now King Sanshun, with the support of his master, has set up these Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, and the Han soldiers are in the absolute majority. Most of these people are basically in war. They were captured by Jiannu on the field, or Jiannu who surrendered to save their lives, so they are not warriors. Even under the coercion of the master Jiannu, they used to show much stronger combat effectiveness on the battlefield than when they worked with Daming, but they are still cowards in their bones.
Now when a large number of large and medium-sized artillery shells fall on their heads, how can these Han soldiers not be afraid? Although they knew that the military regulations of Jiannu were strict, in order to save their lives, some people couldn't help but want to avoid the cannonballs falling head-on. More Jiannu were blown up by these flowering bombs, and they jumped up.
The result was just a round of volley shooting. Even if it was not too neat Jiannu Front, it immediately began to fluctuate like dozens of big stones were put into a calm pool.
Huang Taiji's face suddenly darkened. He snorted coldly again and said angrily, "B bastard! Just after being shot, they were so unbearable that they in vain my expectations of them! The order was given to Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, so that they must suppress their subordinates and not retreat. Otherwise, even if they were meritorious at the beginning, I would not forgive them!"
The guard Ba Ya La, who followed the emperor Taiji, immediately took the order and immediately rushed out. Soon, the king of Sanshun got the order of Huang Taiji, and there was a cold sweat behind them one by one. They also saw that these generals under their command usually seemed to be good, but they were really strong. When they are strong opponents, their performance is far worse than those big and medium-sized soldiers on the opposite side!
At this time, both sides were hit by shells. Although the losses of the Dazhong army were smaller, and the losses on their side were larger, the Dazhong army showed that they were not surprised, and they all regarded them as death. However, on the contrary, their men, at this time, the chickens and dogs jumped in chaos, and the formation was also twisted, although not It hasn't collapsed, but it's not far from the mess.
So Kong Geng Shang and the three immediately ordered their own soldiers to go down and press, and ordered their subordinates not to mess up their feet. Those who disobeyed the order would be killed without mercy. So those soldiers rushed down like wolves and tigers, dragging out more than a dozen guys in a row, immediately not Yu Juan said that he chopped them off their heads. Not to mention that this method of relying on killing bombs is really very effective for these poor people. As soon as they saw their master angry, it was really time to kill people, these cowards were really much more honest, so this chaos was immediately and gradually calmed down. It began to restore stability.
However, something happened that made their scalp continue to numb. I thought that the Dazhong Army was almost the same as them. It would take a long time to reload it with a shot, but I didn't think that the speed of the cannon of the Dazhong Army was so fast that they had no chance to breathe at all. If it was calculated according to the time of future generations, it was a In a minute, the terrible cannons of the Dazhong Army roared again, and the head covering their faces were like burning hail, and they hit the crowd of Jiannu.
This group of enslave soldiers suddenly had another time **. Fortunately, this time some officers scolded and bombarded them, so that there was no further chaos. However, next, the artillery of the Dazhong Army was like a standard timer. Almost every minute, there would be a volley. In a short distance of more than a hundred steps, the Dazhong Army was exactly right. The Jiannu army shot four rounds, and the generals of the Wuzhenchaoha camp under the command of the king of Sanshun were miserable and suffered a lot of casualties.
In contrast to Jiannu's cannon, at this moment, it just fired another round of gunfire. Whether it is the accuracy or speed of the shelling, it is far behind the middle army. The angry Jiannu all scolded and scolded them. The Han soldiers's gunners were cowardly, which really deserved to be killed.
This really wronged those Han soldiers and gunners who built slaves. In fact, it's not that they don't work hard at all, but that their artillery technology is far behind the Dazhong army at this time.
First of all, their gun rack design is imitating Daming's gun rack, which is extremely inconvenient to operate. It relies on the cushion to adjust the pitch of the muzzle. After each shot, because of the huge recoil, the gun rack will shift, and it has to push the gun rack back to the gun position again. The two or three thousand catties of cannon can't be pushed. It is a job that three or five people can do. After each cannon is released, there will be dozens of people to reset the cannon, and then use the mat to adjust the muzzle to aim.
The cannons of the Dazhong Army are mounted on the well-designed gun rack. Although the previous guns in this era are not about the standard racks and retreats, after all, their cannon racks are much more exquisitely designed and lighter. After the shelling is moved back, it is more convenient to promote the reset, and it is larger. The biggest advantage of the Chinese army is that all the gunners have received strict gun-handling training. Everyone has their clear division of labor and cooperate with each other very skillfully. After firing the gun, a series of removal of remnants of the gunbore, cleaning the gunbore, and reloading. With the cooperation of each gunners, the action is skillful and eye-catching. Dazzling, there is no delay in the middle, and the use of the Dazhong army's complete medicine bag makes the gunners' reloading work like a tiger, and there will be no deviation in the loading volume. Therefore, whether it is the speed of the reloading or the accuracy of the shelling, it is higher than one or even more than two levels of Jiannu.
I don't know that before the marching forces fought, the two sides bombarded each other with each other, which made the quality and technology of the soldiers on both sides high. The cannons of the large and medium-sized army suppressed the Jiannu army in terms of quantity and quality.
