The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 447
Ding Yi's gun mounts are relatively high. They used to dig holes, but now they are filled with soil, filling up the other side of the river by six or seven meters, like a castle.

The Ming army's cannons became condescending, and at the same weight, they must have fired farther than their cannons.

And he found that the Ming people, like before, like to build bunkers, and wrap their cannons tightly with sandbags to prevent them from being bombarded.

Huang Taiji couldn't help but cracked a smile, fortunately we have learned it too.

"Let the artillery build up the formation." He waved his hand, and immediately signaled the miscellaneous auxiliary soldiers to start building the artillery formation.

Originally, Kong Youde had three master gunners under his command, namely Wu Jinsheng, Deputy General of Firearms, Pan Xue, General of Firearms Battalion, and Lu Zhineng, General of Cannon Guan Hongyi.

During the Dengzhou Rebellion last time, Pan Xue died in battle, and only Wu Jinsheng and Lu Zhineng followed him to Houjin.

Wu Jinsheng immediately organized miscellaneous auxiliary soldiers, and imitated Ding Yi and started digging and bagging, while Lu Zhineng went to the front, left and right, and quickly selected a place.

"On the right side of the hillside in front, there is a relatively large open space, and there is still a little height. It is about 1.5 miles away from the opponent's formation. It can be fired, and then it can hit the infantry on the two wings of the Ming army's artillery formation."

Some people doubt whether they will be bombarded by the Ming army?After all, the Ming army must arrive first.

Lu Zhineng said: "So you have to learn from people, first build a sandbag array, and then push the cannon forward."

Baylor asked, don't we have Hongyi cannons that can fight farther than the Ming army?Go directly to Hongyi Cannon?
Lu Zhineng said, the Ming army is on a high place, like on a city wall, they may be able to hit as far as our Hongyi cannons, so be on guard.

The muzzles on the bunkers of the Ming army were not large, so Lu Zhineng knew that they were all small guns, but at high places, the range would definitely be longer.

Some post-jin people don't understand, isn't the range of cannons the same?Why can you shoot far when you put it high?
Lu Zhineng: "..." Annoying his head, he didn't know how to explain it to them.

After thinking for a while, he took a knife and drew a line on the ground: "Assuming our cannon can hit one mile on flat ground, this point is one mile, and all our soldiers and horses are here."

The Jin Belles looked at it and nodded one after another.

"Now raise the cannon by ten meters. When the cannon reaches here, you see, this point is still one mile." Lu Zhineng drew another line on it.

"Does the shell fall vertically? It is getting lower and lower. The point where it will fall must be a forward arc. Baylor, look at it. Now, are we equal to a mile and a half?"

With such a swipe, everyone understood that the cannon that could hit a mile on flat ground might be able to hit a mile, or even a mile and a half after being elevated.

Someone else asked: After pushing it up, the Ming army artillery was built like a castle, so it may be useless.

Lu Zhineng shook his head and said, "Let's not shoot the artillery of the Ming army, but shoot them on horseback."

"Our cannons are going to be set up, and Mingren's cavalry is under our artillery fire."

"At that time, the Ming people's infantry and cavalry will definitely retreat, and the artillery will retreat slowly. As soon as we rush forward, we can grab the Ming army's artillery."

Daishan then asked, "What if you can't afford the guns in front?"

That's right, everyone looked at Lu Zhineng. The Ming army had countless cannons. The front was densely packed with muzzles, and the rear could not be seen clearly.

"If we can't set up cannons, we can only rely on Hongyi cannons to destroy their artillery formations. If we can't even destroy the artillery formations of the Ming army, we won't be able to attack them, so there is no need to fight them." Lu Zhineng said.

"Fart, without artillery, we Dajin warriors can't fight?" Jierhalang was furious.

Lu Zhineng was a surrendered general, and he didn't do any meritorious service, so he didn't dare to hum when he scolded him.

Huang Taiji hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "If you use it, you have to believe it, and let the Han army use the guns, you don't need to say too much."

Ji Erhalang looked unwilling, and the others were helpless.

When Lu Zhineng organized the civilian men to dig soil and fill the bags, Wu Jinsheng ran over and said that he could try pushing two Hongyi cannons forward. He said that the muzzles of the bunkers of the Ming army are relatively small, and the cannons must be small, even though they were erected. High, it may not be as far as us.

Lu Zhineng said that he was afraid that the Ming army would hide Hongyi cannons behind the cavalry, and with Ding Yi's character, it must be so.

Wu Jinsheng said, you can try to push one up first, it is not easy for the Ming army to hit one of our cannons.

Lu Zhineng said again, with Ding Yi's virtue, he might pretend that he couldn't hit us, and when I brought up a lot of cannons, he would suddenly hit us.

Wu Jinsheng was patted on the head by Lu Zhiyong's words, which seemed quite reasonable, that bastard Ding Yi was the most capable of doing such shameless things.

Dai Shan, who was listening at the side, had an idea: "Just push the door and go in."

"The Ming army will be destroyed if they want to fight. If they don't fight, let's not push other cannons. We will bombard with one cannon first to boost our prestige."

If Ding Yi wants to lure our other guns up, he won't go up.

Lu Zhiyong said, this can be tried.

So, immediately organized the manpower, and pushed a thousand-jin Hongyi cannon forward.

At this moment, Huang Taiji said: "When we cannon up, first bombard their infantry."

"Smart people must retreat."

"As soon as the Ming army retreats, our soldiers and horses can pass."

Everyone nodded, they brought 180 cannons, many of them were Hongyi cannons, a hundred cannons fired at once, which infantry can resist?
That's how the disciplined Sichuan army was killed.

As soon as the Ming people retreated, their cavalry could rush over and take advantage of the Ming people's artillery formation.

The Ming people's artillery must not have retreated so fast, and they are all on the ground at a height of six or seven meters.

Dorgon suddenly said faintly: "You have to set up the artillery array to do this."

"If we have a large number of people, we will surely succeed." Lu Zhineng said.

"Just do it like this." Huang Taiji quickly decided.

At this time, a large number of their soldiers and horses were three or four miles away, in order to guard against Ming artillery, and took the lead in setting up Hongyi cannons.

In front are five thousand handymen, all digging soil and filling bags.

Li Soltai is also helping. He has fought Ding Yi many times and knows Ding Yi's style of play.

Load more sandbags first.

In order to prevent the situation that there were not enough bags for Golden State last time, they brought [-] bags this time.

Handymen and auxiliary soldiers were bagging dirt.

The bags pile up quickly.

When they were loading the soil, boom, Houjin's Hongyi cannon fired first.

It turned out that they pushed a cannon to about 2 miles, and started fighting first.

Whoosh, a shell flew towards the artillery formation of the Ming army.

I don't know if it's because the Ming army's artillery really couldn't hit so far, and there was no backhand, and it hit the Ming army artillery formation with a bang.

All the princes of Baylor watched happily from a distance.

It was the first time that they could beat the Ming army, but the Ming army couldn't beat them. Everyone was so excited and excited.

Wu Jinsheng didn't care whether the Ming army really couldn't hit this far or pretended it couldn't hit, and continued to ask for cannonballs.

At this time, the Ming army formation on the opposite side began to move, probably seeing the Hongyi cannon hitting far away, the Ming army cavalry began to retreat slowly.

Hou Jin was even more proud, hit, hit me hard.

But when they loaded the shells, the Ming army retreated 100 meters directly.

After loading the cannon, Hou Jin fired a cannon in the direction of the Ming army's infantry and cavalry. Although the opposite side only retreated 100 meters, their artillery could barely knock them down, and the Ming army's infantry and cavalry did not move, as if they were not afraid of them.

Wu Jinsheng is eager to make contributions, and wants to push Hongyi Cannon forward.

But suddenly, bang, the Ming army on the opposite side stretched out a cannon and fired a cannon.

The cannon fell about 100 meters away from the Jinhongyi cannon, and the cannonball jumped and rolled forward for tens of meters. Wu Jinsheng was taken aback, but he didn't dare to move the cannon any further.

In this way, their cannons can only hit the artillery formations of the Ming army, but not the infantry of the Ming army.

If you want to fight the Ming army's infantry, you must either raise your artillery array as high as the Ming army's artillery array, or push it forward.

But the Ming army's cavalry will retreat.

"Go directly to the artillery formation of the Ming army." Huang Taiji sternly shouted at this moment.

Bang, Houjin's Hongyi cannon immediately blasted at the Ming army's artillery formation.
