Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 944 : Chapter 373 Fire

Zhao Qinian clenched his fists desperately, and did not give the order to fire earlier.Although each artillery piece has been prepared, the solid ammunition packs are loaded, the shells are loaded, and the fire is ready to be ignited, all processes are extremely proficient for each artillery group, and there will be no mistakes or omissions at all.

By Zhao Qinian's side was an excellent measurer, and in his mouth, he kept reporting the distance between the Qing army's attack.

At the last moment, Zhao Qinian suddenly mentioned it in his heart, then waved his hand and ordered: "Fire!"

"fire!"

Every gunner screamed hoarsely. There were more than 4000 Qing troops in front of him. The flags were like a sea, and the swords and spears were like a forest. The ferocious enemy rushed towards Fushan. [

There was a whistling of cannonballs, and the Qing army, which was charging towards the Fushan position, could see suddenly a dozen flames lit up on the opposite side, and then there was a large puff of white smoke, and then, the cannonballs emitted huge waves. With a screaming sound, it spun at a high speed and smashed towards them head-on!

The Fushan Artillery Team has fourteen pieces of artillery, the heaviest of which are two nine-pound cannons, which are ten-pound cannons in the West, and then the main group of artillery, which are six-pound cannons, and the smallest artillery is three-pound cannons with four-pound shells. Pound.

The smallest three-pound cannon, the shells fired are slightly larger than an adult's fist. Whether it hits a person or a horse, the high-speed rotating iron ball will tear it out of a huge blood hole, and even collapse the person , the body was smashed to pieces, even if it was scratched a little, it may cause huge trauma. In this era, being scratched by shells stained with gunpowder and iron filings is also a serious injury that cannot be cured, and there is almost no possibility of survival. Septicemia, high fever, and bruised people might as well be killed by shells on the spot, at least they can die happily.

The shells of the six-pound cannon and the nine-pound cannon were larger, and the wind and screams they brought out were sharper and harsher.Because the barrel of the artillery is thicker and longer, more propellant is used, and the muzzle velocity is naturally much higher.

Fourteen iron balls came with whistling screams, and the Qing army formed a dense formation of more than [-] people in a dense formation less than two miles away. When a dozen shells flew away in the sky When it happens, it is destined to take many lives.

However, despite the powerful artillery at this time, the Qing army's formation was still moving steadily. Although many people looked up, most of them didn't care.

In the battles between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, firearms already accounted for an important proportion. The Liaodong Ming army had so many and complex firearms that there were probably more than a hundred types from the beginning to the end.

The most important thing is of course all kinds of cannons, and what can stop the Qing army is the city walls and cannons.

It is not that the Qing army is not afraid of cannons, but has experience in most wars. The first few rounds of the Ming army's artillery were not very accurate. They were either far away or close. After a few rounds, the artillery positions Adjust again and again, this will hit the place where it should be hit.

So after the first round of artillery sounded, everyone continued to move forward without any particular feeling of fear.

It's just that there are a few people who think it's strange that the Fushan artillery team uses salvo instead of a single cannon to fire first, and slowly check and fire, but it's just strange.

The first shell directly hit the Qing Army Banner formation.

With a buzzing sound, first a human head was blown away, and the head was completely out of shape, leaving only the neck of the owner, with blood gushing wildly, the half of the body took a few steps forward, and then fell down slumped.
