Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 252 Three Cannons
Yang Chao clearly saw that behind the incomplete sandbags, there were a few captive soldiers who picked up the dropped sandbags in their hands.

Behind them, there were elite armored soldiers who stepped up to the city one by one and immediately formed a dense formation, ready to fight at any time.

Yang Chao also saw that the captive soldiers had also built a wooden wall about [-] feet away from the wooden wall here, and sandbags were still piled up behind the wooden wall.

Between the two wooden walls, apart from the captive soldiers forming infantry formations, there was a field of corpses, most of them were Minzhuang's corpses, and there were also a few elite soldiers from Yang Chao, wearing familiar black iron armor, but someone was depriving them of their armor.

This is what Yang Chao saw. With the complete collapse of the wooden wall, everything came to a standstill.

The experienced captive soldiers soon came to their senses. The nearest captive soldiers outside the city were only about six feet away from the tiger crouching cannon. They had already set up their formations. Shields, lined up in a dense formation, facing the south, he just froze for a moment, and then one of the voices yelled, and the others rushed over screaming.

"fire!"

In fact, there was no need for Yang Chao to remind, the gunner was just stunned for a moment, the two had just been loaded, and they had already ignited.

It's a pity that the two lead bullets rushed straight over, only to startle the captive soldiers. The shells passed directly and hit the sandbags on the wooden wall opposite. After releasing all the kinetic energy, they hit the ground with a duang sound. .

"Collective charge, block them!"

Yang Chao gave an order.

At this time, the pro-soldiers lying on the ground immediately jumped up, charged towards the familiar wall formation with long spears, and soon collided with the captive soldiers who were close at hand, and there were immediate casualties in the close encounter.

Yang Chao himself lay on the ground without moving, and shouted again: "Wang Pu!"

"To!"

Wang Pu lay on his stomach right behind Yang Chao, and immediately crawled over.

"You take your men to charge once, first drive back the captive soldiers ten feet away, and then bring Zhao Kang back slowly!"

Yang Chao pays the opportunity.

Wang Pu responded, and immediately began to greet his subordinates.

Seeing that Wang Pu also led his people into the wooden wall of the captive soldiers, the short distance of [-] feet between the two wooden walls was like an explosion, and the captive soldiers rushed towards this side frantically. A group of captive soldiers are all attacking south!

"Load the shotgun now, quick!"

Yang Chao urged the gunners to reload, but two of them had already been loaded, and they couldn't be pulled out for a while.

But over there, Wang Pu and Zhao Kang had already been pushed back step by step by the captive soldiers.

In the beginning, they relied on the power of the charge, especially the charge of 100 people like Wang Pu, which was very powerful on the narrow city wall. Take a few steps back.

But after the three axes, the captive soldiers stabilized their formation and immediately began to counterattack.

In the final analysis, the captive soldiers had already assembled a large number of troops behind the wooden wall. It was roughly estimated that there were as many as 800 people, which was equivalent to the elite Bayara of a banner.

Therefore, Wang Pu and Zhao Kang were beaten and began to retreat, but they retreated very slowly. Every step was the price of blood, the blood of the captive soldiers, and the blood of the Ming army.

Seeing that except for the two tiger squatting cannons that couldn't pour out the cannons, the other eight tiger squatting cannons were all loaded with the boy, and a big cannon was also pressed on the outside of the boy.

Seeing Wang Pu, they were already compressed to a distance of three feet from their side.

Yang Chao immediately shouted: "Back!"

Then they heard Wang Pu and Zhao Kang yelling to retreat at the same time, and their soldiers retreated quickly, quickly opening up the distance from the captive soldiers.

The captive soldiers did not give an inch, and pressed hard at every step, but they could only bite the soldiers in the first row, but the soldiers in the back row retreated calmly.

One by one, the soldiers jumped over the cannon and stopped behind Yang Chao.

"What are you doing in a daze, line up!"

Yang Chao roared angrily, and the silly soldiers who had just retreated immediately lined up again.

Seeing that the last ones were Zhao Kang's [-] or so personal soldiers, all of them, just rushed over, and lost a few more.

Yang Chao roared: "There are all of them, run back!"

Although they had undergone long-term queue training, it was impossible to turn around and run away in a uniform manner at this time. Some were assassinated by the captive soldiers just after turning around, and some did not turn around at all, and the lone army was overwhelmed by the captive soldiers.

Eventually sixteen soldiers retreated.

The captive soldiers were chasing after them, but when they came, the first thing they saw was ten squatting tiger guns ready to fire, and there were still people lying behind the guns, holding matchlocks in their hands, extremely nervous gunner.

"fire!"

With Yang Chao's order, the ten gunners couldn't wait to put the matchlocks on the medicine pond, boom boom boom boom, the tiger squatting cannon rang out one after another.

However, only seven cannons fired in unison, and three of them were shaking so badly that they couldn't put the matchlock into the gunpowder pool.

After the other cannons fired, they successfully ignited the gunpowder. They saw the gunpowder in the gunpowder pool burning, emitting a puff of white smoke, and then flames spewed out from the muzzle, making a loud noise.

Yang Chao has lost his mind.

Because seeing the hordes of captive soldiers who were rushing to kill just now, they suddenly flew back backwards, and the eyes became sparse in an instant.

Crazy!

Yang Chao only had this thought in his mind.

Some even couldn't describe the scene they saw at this time, it was too fast, at least seven cannons were fired in a blink of an eye.

What started this time was not the big cannon just now, but small cannons one by one.

Although these cannons are small, they are not only filled with one shot. Each cannon weighs five cents and is about the size of a walnut, but a hundred cannons are stuffed into a cannon, and a large lead is stuffed in the top. bomb.

Eight of the ten guns were loaded with such guns, and a total of [-] rounds of lead bullets were sprayed out.

Within a narrow distance of five feet, there were still female walls on both sides, and groups of captive soldiers chasing them in front of them. It was impossible to look directly at the tragic scene caused.

The moment Yang Chao saw the explosion of the tiger squatting cannon, there were at least a dozen infantry in front of him, almost a whole layer of infantry who were chasing them was blown away, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off. Hundreds of cannonballs were shot, they smashed them to pieces, and then their stumps, as well as the cannonballs that passed them to the back, knocked the captive soldiers behind them all over the place, as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer.

Flesh and blood splattered all over the place!
"What are you doing in a daze, keep reloading!"

Yang Chao was dumbfounded, not to mention that he had never played guns like this before, and even before coming to Haizhou, these gunners had never really played guns.

At any rate, Yang Chao led people to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, and killed people with his own hands, and these gunners have only fired cannons a few times these days.

Now in front of their eyes, this hell-like scene happened, no wonder they were not stupid.

It wasn't until Yang Chao roared that they realized that this was a battlefield, and they immediately climbed up and began to clean the barrel and reload ammunition.

It's just that each of the hands is shaking badly. Fortunately, the Ming army is used to using fixed-pack gunpowder. Clever and tricky.

The advantage of this little cleverness is that even a rookie gunner will not load too much or too little gunpowder, which will affect the power.

Seeing the gunners start to reload one by one, Yang Chao had the time to carefully observe the results of the shelling just now.

Although the scene was tragic, the results this time were not as great as expected.

Yang Chao saw that many captive soldiers who fell on the ground slowly got up, and they were intact and not injured at all.

In the end, after a rough look, there were only thirty or forty soldiers who were directly killed.

That is to say, those who rushed up in the first three rows received fatal blows, and those in the back were mostly injured and knocked down by the flying companions in front.

But what was unexpected was that the captive soldiers seemed to be stunned by this sudden blow, and they just stood up one by one, and then re-arranged under the yelling of the officer, but they didn't expect to come and kill them immediately gunner.

The gunners were given sufficient time to reload. After they had just recovered from being bombarded and formed a dense formation again, the gunners finally finished reloading. Ten guns, each with a hundred small ones and one big one, totaled There were [-] shells, and less than ten feet in front of them was a dense infantry formation!

Yang Chao didn't hesitate at all, and was even extremely excited in his heart, shouting: "Fire!"

A thousand lead bullets were crazily ejected from the gun chamber in the scorching gunpowder explosion, impacting past like a god of death.

This time, Yang Chao had already prepared once, so he could appreciate the effect of the shelling more clearly.

Ten large lead bullets weighing nearly two catties directly knocked out several captive soldiers in front of them, and the five-cent small lead bullets that followed behind the big lead bullets rushed over, and those who were close to each other were directly punched out by these lead bullets. , what one layer of armor, two layers of armor, all one to wear.

There were also some small lead bullets that diverged and flew over, but did not hit the captive soldiers, but hit the female walls on both sides, and immediately hit the thick wall bricks and stones. It flew ahead, and finally slanted into the flank of a captive soldier.

This time the captive soldiers were farther away, giving the shells enough distance to release their power and expand the attack surface, so more captive soldiers were bombarded, although it was not as good as the first row that was directly smashed in the first round of shelling In that kind of tragedy, more people were killed. Hundreds of people died tragically under this round of artillery, and each person ate ten shells on average.

Wang Pu, Zhao Kang and others stood behind, waiting in line, feeling only waves of madness in their hearts!
The gunner didn't need Yang Chao to yell at them this time. After firing the cannon, he immediately reloaded it again. At this time, the barrel was already very hot. They cleaned it with a damp cloth, and there was a puff of steam, but it was still very hot.

But they still poured gunpowder into it without hesitation. This is the battlefield, and they cannot be slack. Even such continuous bombardment will cause great damage to the gun barrel, and it is also very dangerous, increasing the chance of explosion.

And just when they were about to install, the captive soldiers reacted faster this time than before, and rushed over in formation. Fortunately, no one thought of forming a formation to shoot arrows intensively in this panic, but in such chaos , and was bombarded twice at close range. These captive soldiers can still organize an attack, which has proved that they are absolutely elite soldiers.

But they were still a step too late, and before the gunners finished loading, they couldn't get close, so they could only get another shot, as if they ran up to collect the shells.

After this bombardment, Yang Chao saw even bigger results.

Three cannonballs, three rounds of shelling, after the shelling, the captive soldiers collapsed!

------------

After the battle plot, there will be a big climax. It is indeed a long time to write, but I think the writing is full. I hope everyone will read it patiently! ! !
