Chapter 202 The First Artillery Battle of the Han Dynasty

In the first year of Guangxi, September [-]th, evening.

The [-] Han army defeated the [-] elite "Tu Han army" from Xianbei in the east.

In this battle, the Han army killed nearly [-] enemies and captured [-] prisoners at the cost of more than [-] casualties. About [-] Xianbei people fled in panic.

This battle made the tribes in Eastern Xianbei feel frightened and did not dare to act rashly.

Wang Fu led more than [-] surrendered troops and thundered from the north. Kebi Neng's entire army was destroyed, and Daijun Shanggu fell into Lu Bu's hands.

After learning the news, the two Xianbei branches once again had serious differences.

The next day, Chizai took Murong Mohuba and Liaodong Xianbei to migrate to Danhan Mountain, but Suli sent an envoy to beg for peace from Guan Yu.

In Xianbei in the central part of the east, the dust has basically settled.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang have also formed a situation of encircling the Budugen Group against the Budugen Group.

After receiving news of the defeat of Ke Bineng and Xianbei in the east, Budugen lost the courage to fight against the Han army and had to send envoys to sue for peace.

For Suli and Budugen, there is no shame in submitting to power.

Without pastures and cattle and sheep, it is the biggest shame of nomads!

"Afraid of power rather than virtue, these barbarians finally gave in!"

Xu You lamented that the situation changed so quickly, and the fruits of victory seemed unreal.

Guan Yu sneered.

"Now, I want to see what Ding Yuan and Gongsun have to say?"

Xu You also narrowed his eyes and smiled sinisterly: "You can still live if you do evil in heaven. If you do evil on your own, then let's go to the underworld as a whole family!"

In Xiangping City, Eastern Liaodong, Gongsun Du was running around in a hurry.

Qiu Liju looked at Lelang, Zhang Yun took Goguryeo lightly, warned Liaodong while threatening Fuyu.

The most important thing is that those coward Xianbei, tens of thousands of people were defeated by thousands of people. Who would believe it?
There is also the insidious villain Ding Yuan, who encouraged himself to occupy western Liaoning. Now that Guan Yu has settled the grassland, he will retreat to Zhuojun and pretend to be a dead dog.

Isn't this putting yourself on the fire?

In the gazebo in the garden, drinking weak wine and holding a long sword, Gongsun Du sighed.

Guan Yu didn't say anything, but Xu You and Xu Zijiang's notoriety, Gongsun Du, who was known as a ruthless man, was scalp numb.

Although the troops have been withdrawn from western Liaoning, Xu You has already spoken out.

"I will let Gongsun Xiaoer's family take care of everything neatly!"

If he didn't die, the family would definitely be finished.

The sword, raised and lowered many times, has been difficult and the only death since ancient times.

At this time, Gongsun Du realized that he was actually a coward who was afraid of death.

Previously, it was precisely because of the cowardice in his heart that he would crazily take revenge on his enemies and use the heads of enemies who were not as powerful as himself to frighten others.

A truly fearless person disdains cruelty and killing.

"Father!"

Gongsun Du turned around and looked at a young girl with a graceful figure. She was dressed in plain clothes and had blond hair and blue eyes. She was really beautiful.

"Mingzhu, what's the matter?"

Gongsun Mingzhu was born in a concubine's room in the Western Regions. She gathered the essence of Gongsun Du and concubines. She is fair, beautiful, long-legged, and quick-witted.

"Father, are you worried about General Xu?"

Gongsun Du's expression condensed, and then he laughed.

"Father Yu Fuyu, suppressing Sanhan, forcing Goguryeo, Xiong Zhang Donghai, little Xu Pifu, why worry about it? Don't listen to the nonsense of the servants, don't worry, it's okay."

Gongsun Mingzhu smiled slightly and said: "My father is a man of great talent and strategy. He is a great man in this world, so he is naturally admired by thousands of people. My daughter has taken the liberty of making a merciless request!"

After saying that, he knelt down and bowed to the ground.

"Hey! What's the matter, you child? Just talk to Father if you have anything to do, even the moon in the sky will be brought to Mingzhu!"

Gongsun Mingzhu still didn't get up, and said loudly: "My daughter admires King Jinwu very much and is willing to be my concubine. I ask my father to do it!"

"call!"

Gongsun Du suddenly stood up, clenched his palms into fists, and shouted sharply: "Mingzhu! You... you, why bother?"

Gongsun Mingzhu broke down in tears: "Parents who suffer from body, hair and skin, my daughter has nothing else to ask for, please father fulfill it!"

September [-]th, Dongdu.

The morning light of dawn shines on this magnificent city, and the magnificent colors are full of blood.

Outside the Yongmen Gate, behind the earth barrier, ten Leigong Type [-] artillery were lined up, with their dark muzzles aiming at the top of the Yongmen City.

Thirty thousand Liangzhou cavalry marched in formation, with flags like forests and armor like snow.

Clean the barrel, load the gunpowder, insert the fuse, and load the iron bullet.

The Lieutenant of the Liangzhou Artillery Army reported loudly: "Commander, the Artillery Army is in position, please give instructions!"

Dong Zhuo held a telescope, looked at ten cannons of the same type at the top of the city, and asked, "Are you sure you can kill those cannons?"

The Colonel of the Artillery Corps immediately replied loudly: "Please rest assured, Commander, the general will only need half a base to destroy them all!"

According to the artillery drill of the Yong Army, a Lei Gong Type [-] artillery has a base ammunition of forty rounds.

Dong Zhuo nodded, took a special look at Zhao Yun, and asked, "Zilong, can the city defense artillery destroy my artillery?"

Zhao Yun can be said to be an artillery expert, and the key parts of the artillery drills are all derived from his practical experience.

For example, anti-artillery earth fortifications can effectively avoid the threat of artillery at the top of the city.

"Go back to Zhou Mu. If you are lucky, we should be able to destroy three or four artillery pieces of the Liangzhou Artillery Army at the top of the city."

Dong Zhuo was relieved, and sent an order to the artillery commander: "Let's start!"

The lieutenant of the Artillery Army immediately raised the red flag and shouted, "Fire!"

He Jin and Lu Wei were also at the top of Yongmen City, using binoculars to observe the movements of the Liangzhou artillery force.

Seeing the red flag raised, He Jin was stunned.

Lu Wei ignored the ban and immediately ordered a reciprocal counterattack.

"fire!"

So the world's first artillery battle began.

According to the truth, both sides have the same type of artillery, and the difference lies in the training level of their respective artillery forces.

Of course, the city defense artillery is located higher and can hit farther, but the Liangzhou artillery army built defensive fortifications, which are similar to reverse slopes and have better security.

As the saying goes, a sharp spear and a strong shield will lead to a [-]-[-] win or loss.

But knives and guns have no eyes, and shells have no eyes.

Some of the artillery shells fired by Liangzhou would be higher than the city wall and fall in the city, destroying residential buildings and killing and injuring people.

In short, except for the area protected by the city wall, there is no safe place in the west of the Eastern Capital City.

The Liangzhou Artillery Army used a concentrated fire tactic, concentrating five artillery pieces on the city wall below the city defense artillery, and bombarded them indiscriminately.

Dozens of artillery pieces went down, and the city defense artillery positions either collapsed or were skewed, so there was no way to effectively kill the Liangzhou army.

Soon, four city defense guns were dismantled, while Liangzhou lost only one gun position.

As the artillery battle became more intense, the remaining six city defense guns had no choice but to deal with being passively bombed.

When the Liangzhou army really started to attack the city, Yuan Ji, Jiu Changshi, He Jin and many officials knew the seriousness of the problem.

Wei Wei Zhang Xi secretly left the city from Xiamen and came straight to Dong Zhuo.

After the meeting, Zhang Xi, representing the imperial court, asked Dong Zhuo why he attacked Dongdu?Do you want to rebel?

Dong Zhuo replied with a smile: "The Son of Heaven summoned me to serve as the King, but some people deliberately obstructed him. As a last resort, I can only serve on the Qing Emperor's side. Zhang Weiwei, why can't I ask for an explanation?"

Zhang Xiyu wanted to say something, but Dong Zhuo frowned and rebuked: "If you keep making noises, don't blame the saber for being disadvantageous!"

Two "horse thieves" jumped out immediately, pulled the dignified Wei Wei aside and held them down, so as not to hinder the commander in chief watching the battle.

"Boom! Crash!"

A section of the city wall, unable to withstand the shelling, collapsed in half, and the city defense artillery above it, together with the artillery, all collapsed.

Half of the Yongmen gun positions were lost, the city wall was crumbling, and the Liangzhou Army only had one gun position.

It can be seen from this that the Royal City Defense Artillery Corps was usually poorly trained and stretched thin during wartime.

The eastern capital city will soon fall into Dong Zhuo's hands.

But a fast horse came from the north of the city.

"Reply to the commander! More than half of Li Que's troops have suffered casualties, please ask for artillery reinforcements."
