Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 241
  The steel cannon barrel was glowing with cyan luster under the moonlight, and pieces of snowflakes fell on the cannon body and melted immediately.

Qin Erbao had already dismounted and came to dozens of giant cannons. He stretched out his hand to touch the cannon body with a cold luster, as if he were treating a peerless beauty. "In the past few years in Liaodong, these things have given us the confidence to come here." ”

When Wang Qi rose to prominence and was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong, he had already begun to improve the Frangi artillery. He sent people to invite several Frangi craftsmen from Jiaodong, Fujian, Guangdong and other places, and let the Liaodong craftsmen learn from them. , and at the same time, with the help of Xu Guangqi's relationship among Christian priests, three huge cannons were transported from Tianzhu to Guangdong. By dismantling and reconstructing them, they finally combined the mother-and-son cannon with the Franchise cannon. It took more than a year to create it. These thirteen mother steel cannons.

After Wang Qi went to Beijing, Qin Erbao did not stop this kind of manufacturing and experimentation. The steel casting factory outside Guangning City has been expanded to more than 100 acres, and the bomb testing ground at the school grounds was cut off. A whole ten feet.

"Now, let the Jurchen taste the power of the east wind!" Although I don't know why Wang Qi gave the cannon this name, but to Qin Erbao, the name doesn't matter, the best weapon is the one that can kill people and destroy cities. .

Even if you call him "Fat Man", it doesn't matter.

Crunch! ! !
  As the heavy licorice covering of the cannon body was removed, the complete cannon body was exposed.

The gun body is entirely made of steel and is firmly mounted on a triangular-shaped base. The base is then fixed on the frame and is removable, dismantling and portable.

"Sir! Telescope," the guard handed the telescope to Qin Erbao with both hands.

Through the telescope, Qin Erbao could clearly see Jiannu and the Ming army who were already fighting anxiously at the top of Shenyang City.

As the Ming army continued to attack from far away, the slaves in the city also came with continuous support. And because the Ming army attacked in three places at the same time, the entire Shenyang was already in flames, and the fire was shining like daylight.

"Promote three."

Qin Erbao spoke softly.

"Send the general's order to raise all cannon barrels three degrees!"

The deputy general shouted loudly and passed on Qin Erbao's order.

Crunch.
  As the friction of steel sounded, all the cannon bodies slowly rose.

"Four more"

Qin Erbao spoke again.

"All gun barrels go up to four more!"

The gun body is tilted and fixed at seventy degrees.

From the perspective of the soldiers squatting on the ground and setting up the cannon body, the vague head of Shenyang City in the distance has appeared in the middle of the cannon body.

If the cannon is fired from this angle, the shells will pass over the top of Shenyang City and directly bombard the center of Shenyang City. This is the center of the entire Jurchen Imperial City of Jianzhou and the temple dedicated to the heroes of Jianzhou in the past dynasties.

After swallowing, the guard's breath had already condensed on the cannon, forming a thin layer of frost.

From this point of view, if the Frangi man, who is covered in black hair and exudes a strong strange smell, can evaluate it, there is only one sentence: the door to heaven has been opened, and under the wonderful whisper of the Frangi cannon, everyone can They will all ascend to heaven equally!

"Load the shells," Qin Erbao's tone was still calm. At this time, the Liaodong general soldier had already put down the telescope in his hand.

This is the convenience of the mother-child cannon. The second half of the entire gun body can be disassembled, and after the improvement of the overall pouring technology, the entire process of replacing the shells is extremely smooth, and the barrel will not be damaged due to high temperatures. Even if the gun is deformed, it will not cause the mother-child cannon to shift out of position due to violent vibrations.

Therefore, as soon as Qin Erbao's order came out, all thirteen gun barrels were loaded in a matter of seconds.

blah blah blah! ! !
  Thirteen sounds of the iron wall closing sounded, indicating that the shells had been loaded.

"Trigger the fire!" Now, Qin Erbao's tone finally showed a slight fluctuation: "Launch."

"Start the fire!!!!"

The adjutant could no longer hold back and almost shouted: "Launch!!!"

sizzle! ! !
  As the fuse burned rapidly under the engulfment of bright yellow flames, it was swallowed up by tongues of flames within a few breaths and retracted into the gunpowder chamber.

In the sealed powder chamber, the rapid burning of the flame caused the already scarce oxygen inside to be rapidly consumed.

The next moment.   There was a loud bang! ! !
  The cannon body vibrated violently, and then a white light flashed from the muzzle.

The next moment, dozens of cannonballs carrying white light came out quickly.

The black cannonball that broke through the air broke through the snowy night, and in the blink of an eye, it was already shining on the top of Shenyang City.

"Huh?" On the top of the city, Wei Qi, who was directing the battle, glanced at more than a dozen rapidly approaching artillery shells in the sky.

Wei Qi naturally recognized the Ming army's artillery.

There are still more than ten city-defending cannons in Shenyang City, but they only have gun mounts and no cannon shells. After a few test rounds, Daishan was still at the top of the city and no one cared about them-at least after the Liaodong was destroyed. Only then do I have the energy to do these things.

But
  Wei Qi looked up at these rapidly approaching artillery shells. Different from the Ming Dynasty city defense artillery in his impression, these artillery shells seemed to be larger, with stronger impact and farther.
  Far?
  Wei Qi's neck twisted with the trajectory of the cannonball, and Zhenglanqi Gushan Ezhen, who was standing at the top of the city, watched helplessly as the cannonball flew over his head and fell towards the center of Shenyang City.

"No way?"

Wei Qi spoke subconsciously and stared blankly at the location where the cannonball landed - that was the meeting hall and the Royal Ancestral Temple of Dajin.

In an instant, a horrifying cold breath emerged from the soles of his feet and went straight to Tianling Gai.

In Wei Qi's dull eyes, thirteen shells have landed in the center of Shenyang City.

boom! ! ! !

In an instant, the central location of Shenyang City burst into flames.

The hot flames burned Wei Qi's face red.

At the top of Shenyang City, everyone was stunned.

Turning around to look at the location of the artillery bombardment,
  There is the central area where all the high-level officials of Jianzhou reside.

Everyone wants to know, what happened?
  boom! ! !
  When everyone was still immersed in shock and daze.

Dozens of shelling sounds sounded again.

It's like chasing the soul with all your life.

Wei Qi still didn't dare to turn his head and look outside the city.

boom! ! !
  In the desperate eyes of Hou Jin's generals, artillery shells were fired again at the same position. The last glimmer of hope that everyone had had disappeared.

Everyone knows that in this level of bombardment,
  No one can survive.

Absolutely dead.

"Sir, the city in the south has been breached, and the city in the east is also in danger!!"

In an instant, the entire city of Shenyang seemed to be sinking, and Hou Jin was defeated like a mountain.

"All Jianzhou warriors, pick up your weapons and follow me to avenge your clan. Tonight, even if your clan is destroyed here, the Ming army will have to pay a heavy price!"

Wei Qi wrapped the whip behind his head around his neck, then drew out the long knife from his waist and faced many of his soldiers: "We will never survive!!!"

"Report!!!"

At this moment, not far away, a group of personal guards came on horseback.

Wei Qi turned around and saw a thin, disheveled child behind the guard.

Prince Rui, Dorgon.
