Chapter 372
Chapter 279, the main text volume of the Ming Dynasty, the most ruthless bandit, since the first rifled rifle was released, Huang Liuxi has been practicing 300 steps or even 350 steps to stop and kill.
The first rifled rifle was trained by him. He fired more than 100 bullets. The rifle inside the barrel was extremely worn and the lead was hanged to a certain extent, which was completely scrapped.
This is already considered. The Ming army's bird guns cut corners seriously, and they were seriously worn out after fifty shots, and even directly exploded.
To this end, Qin Chuan and Li Xuejing spent a lot of time exploring the heat treatment process to slightly increase the life of the barrel, but the life span cannot exceed 200 rounds.
With talent and a lot of practice, coupled with the high accuracy of the rifled rifle and Minnie bullet, Huang Liuxi's marksmanship can already achieve the level of shooting within a hundred steps. In the absence of wind, he can achieve a hit rate of 70% or 80% even with 300 steps.
There is wind today, but it is just a gentle spring breeze.
With a "bang", a Ming army who was struggling to pull the rope three hundred steps away fell down.
Almost at the same time, other sharpshooters scattered in the gun holes on the third floor also opened fire. Thirty rifled rifles, and after one round, more than twenty Ming troops fell.
Huang Liuxi skillfully broke open the faucet, opened the lid of the medicine pool, took out the gunpowder pack wrapped in paper, bite it, poured a little gunpowder into the medicine pool, closed the lid, then poured the remaining gunpowder into the barrel, took out the conical bullet with the plug, put it into the barrel, and took the through strips to compact it.
The whole process only takes about twenty seconds.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Liuxi poked the barrel out of the gun hole, leaned the stock against his shoulder, and aimed with his breath holding his mind.
After the gunshots, another Ming army fell down.
The sudden bullets and the fallen companions made the other Ming troops panic.
They didn't know what was going on, they only knew that the thief army in Ninghua Institute fired their guns, but how did those bird guns hit this place even though they were three hundred steps away?
No matter how good the bird gun is, it can be at most 120 or 30 steps. If you put more gunpowder, you will have to explode. How did the thief army shoot 300 steps?
And they were also able to hit the target accurately, with only thirty or forty gunshots, and there were more than twenty people who were shot!
Too unusual.
The Ming army could not understand that the more unusual things were, the more scared they felt, so they hid behind the siege tower and dared not show their heads.
The four siege towers either traveled slowly or stopped directly.
Wang Pu and others who were pressing behind also frowned, with their faces and expressions of confusion.
Judging from the gunshots and smoke, it is definitely not a cannon, it must be a musket.
What kind of musket can hit three hundred steps away, but still hit so accurately?
Just as he was puzzled, gunshots sounded again on the city wall of Ninghua Institute.
This time, even though the Ming army near the siege tower hid behind the tower, more than a dozen people were still shot, and bullets were shot from a very small angle on the side.
"You can't stop, use your shield to continue to push forward, quickly!"
Wang Pu behind didn't have time to think about what kind of gun it was, and just pulled his throat and shouted loudly.
Under the urging of other officers, the Ming army behind the siege tower ran out again with a shield or wooden board, quickly laying a trench in front, and holding the shield to continue pulling the rope forward.
The wooden shield could not withstand the high-speed rotating cone warhead, and was still penetrated by the shield, but the shield could barely offset part of the power of the warhead. After being hit by the bullet that penetrated the shield, many people were only injured to varying degrees.
Despite this, the speed of the siege tower has been greatly slowed down.
Many of the Ming army's slashers were killed by cannons without the chance to assemble, but five slashers were still assembled. The Ming army beside them loaded stones into the basket and placed large stones weighing 20 to 30 kilograms at the end of the boom.
Soon, the five catapults were projected together, and the five huge rocks made a harsh sound of breaking through the air, hitting heavily on the Ninghua Institute's city wall, making several roars, and the entire city wall trembled suddenly.
Qin Chuan frowned and hurriedly checked whether the city wall was crooked and whether there were cracks.
Fortunately, the city wall was fine, and only a few marks on the wall had been left with the skin that had been smashed off.
"Hurry up and knock out those catapults." Qin Chuan shouted hurriedly.
Forty cannons on the top of the city soon roared again, and more than 30 shells were concentrated on the five catapults of the Ming army. Three catapults were smashed on the spot, and the other two Ming soldiers were also bombarded to howl.
When twenty Franco cannons fired again, all the Ming army's catapults were scrapped.
Qin Chuan raised his telescope and looked at it for a few more times, then shouted: "Damn their big Franca cannon again."
The gunners quickly loaded ammunition or replaced it with sub-guns, and soon the induction medicine was ignited again.
With only three rounds of cannons, the opponent's dozen large Franca cannons were also silenced.
"Siege Tower, every twenty cannons fired a tower."
Hearing Qin Chuan's orders, the gunners turned their guns one after another, aiming at the siege tower that was still moving slowly more than two hundred steps away, and spewing out bright red flames.
The logs at the front end of the two siege towers that were walking in the front were smashed to pieces, with wood chips flying everywhere, and the entire tower was shaking, and it could collapse at any time.
The vanguards of the Ming army, who had not been greeted by artillery fire, had already reached a hundred steps away. They moved out small Franc and tiger squat cannons from behind the big shield and began to aim at the top of the city wall.
The sixty small Francisco machines and tiger squat cannons under Qin Chuan's command, as well as three hundred flintlock rifles, were waiting for this moment.
For a moment, gunfires were heard on the city wall, and shells, bullets, etc. were tilted towards the Ming army's gunners like heavy rain.
The Ming army had more than 110 small cannons. Although many gunmen were killed and injured by a wave of gunfire attacks, seventy or eighty cannons still spewed out flames, and shells of all sizes hit the cement city walls, making a rapid banging sound.
The Guandi Army was covered by the city walls, so it was difficult to hit them. Only a few small cannonballs that had left their luck or drilled into the gun holes or passed through the marching walls of the female wall. Several Guandi Army who had lucked their way home died in luck.
After three rounds of artillery bombardment and flintlock gunfire, the Ming army's gunners were seriously injured, and those who were not dead fled back, resulting in the silence of all artillery artillery.
At this time, the vanguard of the Ming army, who had not been greeted by artillery fire, had already pushed shield carts or ladders to the bottom of the city wall. Ninghua Institute had no moat, and a rushing cart went straight to the city gate, hitting the thick iron-covered gate with thick bumps of wood one after another.
The artillery could not be shot vertically, so the Guandi army on the top of the city began to throw rocks and roll wood down, but it did not cause much damage to the rushing cart made of logs on the top.
To be on the safe side, Qin Chuan hurriedly adjusted the tiger squat cannon and the little Franc machine to five each, and added fifty flintlock gunners to guard the door.
Because in order to facilitate his attack, he did not use bricks and stones to block the door hole, and only used more than a dozen logs to support the door.
Under the city wall, other Ming soldiers laid a ladder with hook claws on the wall and began to climb upwards.
The Ming army's long-range troops were abandoned, so the Guandi army stood up from behind the female wall and used muskets, stones, rolling wood and other means to greet the Ming army climbing up, preventing them from stepping onto the city.
As the battle continued, the Ming army's casualties became increasingly serious, and the Ming army, which had already reached the city, began to shake.
On the city wall, when eight general artillery artillery and twelve general artillery roared together, a siege tower suddenly tilted, like a giant suddenly falling down, overturning obliquely and falling to the ground with a bang.
The Guandi army on the city wall immediately cheered.
Wang Pu and others in the Ming army's rear formation had their faces ashen and were extremely ugly.
It took them six days to build these four extremely solid siege towers, but unexpectedly, one of them was knocked down by a Qin surnamed with cannons.
What made Wang Pu and others look even more ugly was that another siege tower soon fell down.
The last two remaining are about 150 steps away from the city wall of Ninghua Institute.
It seems that those two can't reach the city wall.
The Ming army on the battlefield also understood this fact. Once the two towers collapsed, hundreds of Ming soldiers under the tower were at a loss like headless flies. The Ming army under the other two towers also left the tower intentionally or unintentionally, so as not to be killed when it collapsed.
With the suppression of muskets and rock rolling wood, the Ming army, who was carrying the ladder, not only failed to climb up to the top of the city, but also left a corpse outside the city.
The iron-packed gate of Ninghua Institute was because there were more than a dozen logs on the roof at the back, and no matter how hard the car rushed, it could not be opened.
The morale of the Ming army was getting lower and lower.
Finally, when the last two siege towers collapsed, the Ming army could no longer withstand it. They first fled sporadically, but soon it turned into a large-scale escape.
