[Chapter 478] The Tartars' shelling

(0478)

【Today's first update is delivered!】

"Continue to shoot!" Xu Xingxia ordered decisively.

The musketeers of the White Army continued to shoot. The entire city of Gulang City suddenly filled with smoke, and a large number of Minnie bullets covered the rebel gunners. For such a series of volleys, the musketeers of the White Army were not proficient in such a series of musketeers. Their operations basically did not need to go through the brain, and it was completely the result of conditioned reflex. As a result, dozens of rebel gunners who were busy were killed on the spot. There was no way, so Liu Fengxi had to order to retreat fifty feet to reduce his own casualties.

"Don't retreat!"

"The cannon must assume it is here!"

Of course, the Tartars stopped seeing the rebels fighting gunners trying to drag the cannons behind.

Everyone knows that the result of the cannon moving backward is that it loses its range. Simply put, there will be more shells that cannot hit Gulang City. If the distance is far, the hit rate of shells will also decrease. At that time, only a very small number of the Flang machine cannons had photos and sights, which could help the gunner aim. The others were basically fired by the gunner's feeling. I guess even the gunner himself could not guarantee whether they could hit it.

Moreover, in the era when there was no Mile Mileage, it was really not easy to see the landing point of the shell and then make corrections. A car, if it was seen from four or five hundred meters away, is no longer a big shadow. What's more, a solid bullet with a fist? If anyone can see the landing point of the solid bullet with a distance of five hundred meters with his naked eyes, he must not be a human, but a god. Unless the solid bullet drops, it will have a great impact.

"Do you think we are stupid! Stay in front and die in vain!" Faced with the obstruction of the Tartar cavalry, there was only one response from the rebels, that was, they did not say a word, but their movements were not slow. If they continued to stay in front, they would definitely be killed by the bullets of the white-clothed army. Even if they were not dead now, they would die in a while. Only idiots would do such stupid things. They were afraid of death. If they were not afraid of death, would they surrender to the Tartars easily? They had already fought with the Tartars to death! You Tatars have the ability, go forward by themselves!

"Gaga!" Some of the Tartars were so angry that they actually rushed to the front. Some Tartars raised their scimitars or bows and arrows in their hands to make various provocative actions against Gulang City. Their purpose was to humiliate these rebels. The fear of death was despised by others no matter where they were. However, the Tartars' pretentiousness brought serious consequences. It should be noted that on the White Army, officers above the squad leader were all in a thousand miles of mirrors. The Tartars' arrogant performance immediately attracted their serious attention.

"Are you paralyzed, seeking death by yourself! I will fulfill your wish!" Almost every white-clothed military officer thought so. Just now, the distance between the Tartars was too far, and the effective range of Minnie bullets was almost impossible. There was no way, so I could only watch. Now, the Tartars were automatically delivered to their door, so of course they would not be polite. At the same time, thousands of muskets were aimed at the Tartars. In order to achieve the best shooting effect, Zhang Yi also organized a squadron of sharpshooters.

"Bang bang bang!"

More dense gunfire sounded, and the entire Gulang City was shrouded in white smoke.

The dense Minnie bullets roared and hit the Tartars without mercy, pulling them off the horse's back. This time the White Army fired a volley and was very anxious. There were so many musketeers participating in the volley, and the Tartars were in great trouble. Many Tartars, even though they didn't even know what was going on, were beaten to death.

After three consecutive rounds of volleys, more than 100 Tartar cavalry rushed to the front to show off, and less than ten ran back. The others were all lying on the dry ground, blood was gushing out, and they seemed to be unable to survive. The power of the Minnie bomb was too great, even if it flew over a distance of three or four hundred meters, it was still enough to take their lives.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred Tartars died. Other Tartars no longer dared to be arrogant, and no Tartars dared to come forward to stop the rebels from evacuating the gunners. Even the injured Tartars did not dare to go forward and pull them back. The injured Tartars had to die in blood. There was no way, the muskets of the White Army were indeed too cruel and terrible. If they came forward rashly, it would definitely be the result of death! Not only could they not save people, they also took themselves in. How many people would be willing to do such a fool?

"This is almost the same!" Xu Xingxia held up the Qianli Mile Mile and said to himself in satisfaction. After the rebel gunner retreated dozens of feet, Gulang City completely escaped the range of the shotgun. In other words, it was not necessary to be attacked by the sky of bullets. This was definitely a good thing to avoid large-scale casualties.

If the shotgun is allowed to be freely used, the White-clothed Army, which has thousands of people, will probably be able to suffer hundreds of casualties in one day. It doesn’t take a few days, and the casualties of the troops will exceed half. Even with the White-clothed Army’s organizational training level, it will definitely collapse after half of the loss. This is inevitable.

Of course, solid bullets cannot be completely underestimated. At a distance of more than 500 meters, the power of solid bullets is still very great. If the human torso is hit directly, it will definitely be dead and lifeless. If the head is hit, it will definitely be a standard watermelon smashing, a piece of decay. If the waist is hit, it will definitely be divided into two, and the body is broken into two sections. If the limbs are hit, it will definitely be disabled for life.

For the protection of solid bullets, we must not only prevent its direct shot, but also prevent its ripple. The power of solid bullets is too strong, and even if it is rebounded, the lethality is amazing and must not be underestimated. In some solid bullets with solid rebounds and rebounds, a solid bullet can kill many people. If a company is marching in a straight column, a solid bullet will hit him head-on, almost half of the company will be reimbursed.

This mainly depends on luck. Generally speaking, the landing point of the solid bullet is difficult to infer. The Florian cannon is a smooth-bore cannon, and the accuracy of the shell is relatively low. After the cannon is out of the bore, no one knows where the shell will fall. If you happen to be hit by a solid bullet, there is no way to do so. Even Xu Xingxia himself cannot guarantee that he will not be hit by a solid bullet. Of course, there are ways to effectively avoid solid bullets.

About half an hour later, the rebel artillery and all the Flanger artillery were ready. All the high-level members of the Tartars kept coming, clamoring to fire the cannon immediately. They all wanted to see with their own eyes that Gulang City turned directly into ashes and powder under the bombardment of cannons. If Xu Xingxia was also smashed into a ball of meat sauce by the shells, it would be even better. At that time, just drag his body out of the ruins.

"The enemy is about to bombard it, all troops should be kept hidden!" Zhang Yi, who was in charge of observation, said in a deep voice.

At this time, there were only a few Vulture Cavalry soldiers monitoring the city of Gulang City. Other white-clothed soldiers had retreated to the basement. These basements were only excavated after the arrival of the White-clothed Army. The soil structure of the area where Gulang City is located is a bit similar to sandy land and is very dry, so it is not difficult to dig a simple basement. Anyway, the requirements for the basement are not high, as long as it can avoid shelling.

The only purpose of the basement is to avoid the bombing of solid bombs. Under the bombing of solid bombs, buildings are not safe, and only the basement is the safest. On the basement is thick and soft sand. This is the best defense against shells. No matter how fierce the solid bomb is, it has no lethality when it falls into the sand. Not to mention the small-caliber Flang machine cannon, even a large-caliber red-clothed cannon, it is impossible to smash the cover of the basement. This is the safest protection.

"Bangbangbangbang!"

Fierce artillery fired and the rebel artillery fired.

Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, solid bullets with fists were constantly shot out from the cannon chamber, drawing a looming trajectory in the sky, and finally landing around Gulang City. Some of the solid bullets hit the head of Gulang City directly, making a huge sound. The destructive power of solid bullets on buildings can be seen by the naked eye from five hundred meters away.

Some battlements were beaten so that half of them were removed, and gravel and sand splashed up. The bounced solid bullet continued to run backwards until it hit a stronger building. There were also buildings, such as bricks and tiles, and I don’t know where the solid bullet hit them. Large tiles fell down. Some part of the city wall was hit, and the bricks on the outside were broken, revealing the loess inside.

The worst thing is the Ximen Tower of Gulang City. This is the focus of the rebel artillery. Most of the shells fell around the city tower. Poor Ximen Tower of Gulang City was originally old and shaky. Now, it was bombarded again and was immediately split. As long as it was hit by a solid bullet, a large piece of it would have to be removed. Bricks, tiles, gravels, sand and other debris fell down sparsely, as if it was raining.

Fortunately, the cannon fires slowly, and it basically takes several minutes to fire once. The smoothbore cannon's accurate head is not very high, and the gunner cannot control the shells fired out. Among the 100 solid bullets, there may be less than twenty. The ones that can really hit the target can only be about ten. If all the shells shot out fall on the Ximen City Tower, the city tower will probably collapse soon and no longer exist.
