Qiming 1158

Chapter 1046
In the north direction of the Fancheng defensive circle, He Feihu set up nine general cannons and 25 general cannons on horseback.

Hundreds of gunners made preparations for firing in an orderly manner according to their respective gun groups. It can be considered that the experienced gunners adjusted the shooting angle according to their own rhythm.

They are facing a large number of Song Jun military villages set up on traffic roads, beside waterways and on hills and highlands.

Most of these military fortresses are in the state of simple fortresses, with relatively solid external defenses. There are arrow towers and watchtowers inside, as well as long-range strike weapons such as bed crossbows and strong crossbows. The Ming army carried out condescending strikes.

The Ming army's response to this was to give full play to the advantages of artillery, and use the advantages of artillery to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks on the Song army's military village.

Xu Tong, who was unfamiliar and curious about all this, didn't say a word. He followed He Feihu's side honestly, listening to his orders, watching his movements, and didn't dare to cause him any trouble.

Time passed little by little, and soon, it was time to prepare for the attack, and the gunners also fully completed their preparations for firing.

The effective range of the Great General Cannon is larger, so it is the Great General Cannon that is fired first.

After the general artillery destroyed the external defense of the Song army's military village and caused a panic among the internal defenders, the general artillery of the chariot and cavalry entered its predetermined range and launched a round of firing at the remaining dregs of the military village and the Song army in the military village.

The chariot and cavalry general artillery is fast and effective, the purpose is to completely destroy the defense facilities inside the Song army's military village, turn it into a pile of ruins, and completely lose the ability to counterattack.

After the shooting of the chariot and cavalry general artillery is over, the Song Army's military village is basically a pile of ruins. At this time, the cavalry and musketeers of the Shenji Battalion will start to advance, sweep away the remaining enemies, and wipe out all the remaining Song Army soldiers. Kill them to create the conditions for the battery to advance further and build a new artillery position.

Then there is the repositioning and firing of the next round of the Great General Artillery.

It takes about half an hour for the General Cannon to prepare for a new round of shooting, so ideally, the General Cannon and the Divine Machine Camp should kill the remaining enemies within half an hour and wait for the General Cannon. When you are ready, start the next round of shooting.

This cycle repeats until all the Song army's military strongholds are destroyed together.

According to such a properly established tactic, it can greatly reduce its own losses and at the same time use the advantages of artillery to greatly increase the casualties of the enemy, which is very conducive to maintaining the continuous combat capability of the Shenji battalion.

Seeing that the time was almost up, He Feihu nodded to the messenger beside him, indicating that the artillery crew could start firing.

The great general artillery, which has never been on the battlefield, will finally be revealed here.

The long and desolate horn sounded, and the leaders of the artillery crews of the major generals shouted and gave orders to fire.

He Feihu motioned to Xu Tong to cover his ears like him, but Xu Tong did not know why, so he did the same and covered his ears.

He originally thought that doing this seemed a bit unnecessary, and he felt that the louder the sound could do, but when the explosion-like sound and the sudden earth shaking shook his body, he realized that He Feihu made him do it. of.

Even though he covered his ears, the crackling sound still penetrated his palms and stimulated his eardrums, making him feel a burst of heart palpitations.

The earth tremor caused by the huge movement was conveyed to him through the soles of his feet.

A huge white air mass suddenly exploded, and the entire artillery position was filled with a large amount of white smoke.

At the very front of his line of sight, he seemed to see the huge iron bullet that was wrapped in a strong air current and flew away to the ground, smashing the wooden army camp of Song Jun that blocked it, and also smashing the unlucky people on the ground who did not hide. The soldiers of the Song army who opened were smashed to pieces, and no bones were left.

In fact it is.

At such a distance, and within the effective range of the Great General Cannon, the cannonballs slammed into the Song Army's fortress steadily and ruthlessly.

Many Song soldiers were directly hit by shells, and instantly completed the transformation from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, realizing their own artistry.

There were also some Song Army soldiers who were not directly hit, but were within the power range of the shells falling to the ground. The huge impact force directly tore their bodies apart, blooming one after another of coquettish and cruel blood flowers in the air. .

The soldiers standing farther away were not [-]D and their bodies were not torn apart, but the huge impact still lifted them up to perform ultra-low-altitude flying movements, and then smashed heavily on some obstacles.

The unfortunate one died on the spot by vomiting blood from the shock of the reaction force. Fortunately, he fell on the ground and rolled a few times. He felt that his internal organs were displaced, and he almost lost his combat effectiveness.

Those who can maintain their combat effectiveness under such circumstances are called the Son of Heaven's Chosen.

However, among the Chosen Sons, there are also relatively weak mental powers. They were directly hit by such a wave of dimensionality reduction blows that they had never seen before. Although the body is not dead, the spirit is dead.

The shells of the General Cannon are several times heavier than those of the General Cannon, and the amount of gunpowder fired is several times larger. Not to mention the great general artillery that specifically targets a city like Xiangyang.

The reason why the Great General Artillery was put on the battlefield is to increase the combat experience of the Great General Artillery Group and make them more familiar with the human weapon they operate.

The second is to speed up the progress of the battle and compress the battle time of the entire battle, so as to reduce the economic loss that Ming Kingdom needs to bear for this battle. Save as much as you can.

Such a simple concept of saving is certainly not understandable to ordinary people.

Although Xu Tong is his own, he has never seen such a murderous weapon in the world, so his brain is blank and at a loss.

Of course, almost as blank as Xu Tong and overwhelmed, there is Song Jun Fan Cheng's general and former acting coach Zhou Benyuan.

He stood on the highest place in Fancheng City, looking into the distance. From his perspective, he could clearly see the Song Army Fortress destroyed by the artillery shells of the Ming Army.

At that time, he was patrolling and overlooking the city head, trying to see the formation of the Ming army, and then he was horrified to see that several military villages in the north of him had been attacked strangely, and the tower of one military village even It collapsed directly after the attack, and the military fortress was completely destroyed almost in an instant.

What's even more strange is that the huge roar that sounded like a thunderbolt reached his ears after he saw the scene of the army's stronghold being tragically hit.

what is that?
Zhou Benyuan did not know.

At the same time, on the city tower of Dongcheng, several officers and soldiers also witnessed the scene of several military villages being attacked by terror.

Although the distance is relatively far, they can't see it very clearly, but they can still see that the complete building has been damaged by blows.

It was an instant, an instant.

In the past, if such a situation happened, it must be done by a trebuchet, or a super-large trebuchet. In fact, Song Junjunzhai expected such a situation, so he made some plans for the attack of the trebuchet, and even Some plans have also been made to deal with the issue of Ming weapons.

But it all seems pointless.

Zhou Benyuan was shocked, and immediately sent someone out of the city to inquire about the specific situation, and then brought the latest news to him. Scene by scene.

Once the attack of the Shenji Battalion starts, it will not end easily. Although the Great General Cannon takes more time to readjust the angle, compact the ground, and water to cool down, the huge power is still real. .

Standing together with He Feihu, Xu Tong and He Feihu saw with their own eyes that the cannonballs fired by the Great General's artillery swiftly penetrated the frontal defense of a Song army military village, and a cloud of dust was raised inside, and the military village fell to the ground in pieces. The people inside the building don't know how many people are still alive.

At the same time, in the other two directions, eight general artillery bombarded the defense circle of Fancheng, and the roar of artillery was deafening.

Xu Tong hasn't reacted yet. The three rounds of bombardment have ended, and the task of the Great General Artillery has been completed. The next step is to cool down, maintain, clean the inner chamber, and adjust to the next firing position.

What happened next belonged to the remaining cavalry and musketeers of the cavalry general artillery group and the Shenji battalion.

He Feihu led the troops forward, and Xu Tong also followed He Feihu forward, until they could clearly see the tragic situation of the Song army's stronghold that was destroyed by the general's artillery, He Feihu ordered the entire army to stop advancing. .

The cavalry general artillery car moved forward, the artillery group began to load ammunition, adjust the shooting direction and angle, and prepare to shoot.

After a series of operations, He Feihu issued an order, and the cavalry and general artillery began to fire.

The firing of the chariot general cannon was much smaller than that of the general cannon. At least He Feihu did not remind Xu Tong to cover his ears, but the thunder-like roar still made Xu Tong uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, the bombardment of the cavalry general artillery was quite successful.

The general artillery was equivalent to destroying the main structure of the Song army's military village, while the cavalry general artillery stepped forward to increase its strength, destroying other tall buildings that could threaten the advance of the Ming army, and attacking and destroying the Song army soldiers in the military village. deterrence.

When he saw He Feihu pick up the clairvoyant to watch the situation of Song Junjunzhai, Xu Tong realized that he also has a clairvoyance, and quickly took it out and looked at Songjunjunzhai, only then did he see those people in Songjunjunzhai who were running around in a panic. Soldier.

There are still many people alive, it seems that this makes He Feihu not very satisfied.

So He Feihu ordered the shelling, and a salvo of more chariots and generals could completely destroy the Song army's army in front of him, and completely destroy the buildings that did not fall down.

The towering arrow towers and watchtowers were destroyed by the shells, and fell to the ground as if they had been broken.

The smoke and dust intertwined, bringing extremely heavy casualties to the Song Army defenders in the military village.

However, at this moment, they did not even bring the Ming army even the slightest killing.

Even the crossbow and the bed crossbow are useless.

They didn't know the new firearms of the Ming army at all, and they didn't know that the Ming army had won a lot of battles with these firearms and accumulated rich combat experience.

The kinetic energy and direct shooting angle brought by the explosion of gunpowder were much stronger than that of cold weapons, and quickly destroyed the solid wooden structure of the military village. defeated their will to fight.

And it's not over yet, or rather, it's just beginning.
