The problem arises again. Cannons are not other materials. This thing is bulky and difficult to move. A cannon weighs several tons at all. It is extremely difficult to transport such a firearm to the front line.

If the horse pulls people and pushes them, the cannons will be transported to the front line, and it will take at least three months to go.

Fortunately, Zhu Cilang was not in a hurry, so he decided to adopt the strategy of besieging the city first. The army of 80,000 Shenji Camp surrounded the Qing Dynasty Shenyang Shengjing, waiting for the arrival of the Red Barbarian cannons.

As soon as the cannon arrived, the siege began immediately. The cannon fire was in the middle of the sky, and Zhu Ciyang believed that Dorgon's great ability was unable to turn the world back.

The Qing Dynasty also had cannons, but compared with the cannons of the Ming Dynasty today, it was pale.

With the power of technology, the Ming army's red cannons had reached the peak of the Black Powder Period. The range was farther than that of the Qing Dynasty cannons and the accuracy was much more accurate.

What’s important is the application of the flowering bullet. This point is completely defeated by the other party. The flowering bullet was finally developed by the Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, the military battle situation made great contributions. Under the instruction and guidance of Zhu Cilang, the officials of the military battle situation finally overcame various difficulties and made a huge breakthrough in the Blossom Bulletin.

You should know that the cannons of the Qing Dynasty were all solid bullets. When they were fired, they were very powerful enough to make people scare people. However, solid bullets could not explode and their power was limited.

On the other hand, the Ming army had a blown-up bomb that fell to the ground. Zhu Cilang's skills were immature at that time, and he even sent Fan Wencai to the West. The bombing made Huang Taiji feel so terrible that he almost lost his life.

Dorgon had witnessed the power of the Flowering Bullet with his own eyes. At that time, when he saw the power of the Flowering Bullet, all the Qing troops were scattered.

How did the military battle overcome the problem of flowering bullets? The "flowing bullet" was originally called a hollow bullet, which is an empty iron shell with gunpowder placed inside and detonated through a delayed fuse.

The reason why flowering bullets have not been popularized is that the manufacturing process is too backward, so it is very dangerous when the cannon is fired. When the cannon is fired, the fuse on the "flowing bullet" must be lit first, and the fuse is forward when the flowering bullet is placed into the barrel, and then the drug-firing fuze on the cannon is quickly ignited.

At that time, the diameter of the gun barrel was larger than the diameter of the shell. After the launcher was detonated, it would spray out from the gap between the "flowering bullet" and the gun barrel, which would easily ignite the fuse exposed to the outside, resulting in advance explosion. Moreover, the casting process at that time could not produce the entire shell of the shell at one time, and half of it had to be produced and then pieced together. This shell was very fragile and could easily be destroyed by the launcher when it exploded.

Besides, in addition to danger, even if it is successfully launched, the power is very small, so the "flowering bullet" was in a bottleneck period at that time and could not achieve a greater breakthrough.

In order to fire flowering bullets, artillery soldiers need to take the huge risk of blowing the chamber. Often, one of the three cannons will explode. This is equivalent to betting on their lives.

Later, under the leadership of Bi Maokang and others, the Military Affairs Bureau invented another new type of delayed fuze: wood-pipe fuze, generally a conical fuze. This wood-pipe fuze is inserted into the inside of the shell, leaving only the ignition point exposed outside.

I have to say that Bi Maokang is indeed a genius. In terms of firearms, he is a top expert. Especially after Zhu Cilang's guidance and understanding the principles of firearms, he has improved and invented many powerful firearms.

The flowering bullet invented by Bi Maokang, the basic structure of the wood pipe fuze: both ends of the wood pipe are wood, a large section in the middle is hollow, and a medicine drum with a very stable combustion speed is placed inside. The wooden pipe is marked in advance. When firing, the artillery will estimate the time of the shell flying based on the distance, and then dig a hole in the corresponding scale to contact the gunpowder inside the shell, and then insert the wood pipe fuze into the shell.

The scales on the wooden pipe are marked according to the launch distance of the shell, and are calculated through a large number of experiments. For example, when firing, you can run ten kilometers within the time of burning an incense; then if you run five kilometers, use half incense, and mark the scales on the wooden pipe in advance.

Wooden shell brackets: The shell base is fixed with wooden brackets to protect the shell base. These are the results of countless experiments.

Moreover, the Ming artillery was precious and needed a lot of time to train, so that these artillery soldiers understood the principle of cannon firing.

To train an artillery, fifty taels of silver are required. It can be said that it is a sky-high price. The treatment of artillery in the Ming Dynasty is second only to the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army. Artillery is the treasure of the Ming Dynasty.

The ancients had infinite wisdom, which was admirable. Although the casting process was backward, the shell walls of the shell could not withstand the pressure of a large number of fired drugs after the explosion, and the flowering bullets were generally made with low-compression cannons, and the range was naturally greatly reduced.

However, Bi Maokang took a different approach. Installing a wooden bracket on the bottom of the shell can protect the "flowering bullet" when the launcher explodes. Moreover, after the "flowering bullet" is launched, the front end is heavy, the back end is light, similar to a badminton, making the ballistic more accurate.

When firing the wooden bracket "flowering bullet", you do not need to ignite the flowering bullet in advance, just ignite the fuse of the artillery firing medicine. After the launching medicine explodes, part of it will spray out from the gap between the shell and the barrel and directly ignite the fuse of the "flowering bullet" and then fire it out.

The launch principle of this flowering bomb is still adopted until modern times. The peak of black gunpowder is amazing after the flowering bomb explodes.

Unfortunately, the transportation of cannons was really slow, so Zhu Cilang could only adopt the strategy of siege the city first. He quietly waited for the support of the Red Barbarian cannons. As long as the cannons arrived, Shengjing would inevitably be broken.

No one expected that Dorgon would bet on his lair at this time. He used Shengjing as bait to lure Zhu Cilang to besiege Shengjing. He took the Manqing Navy into the sea through North Korea. Then, he landed in Yingkou and burned Zhu Cilang's food and grass in one fell swoop.

Although Zhu Cilang had a strict defense, he arranged the food camp in the rear and thought he was perfect. However, he didn't know that all this was within Dorgon's expectations.

War is always fair, and you won’t lean towards you just because you are Zhu Cilang.

Even if you don't underestimate the enemy, the enemy has been hiding his strength for so many years and has been working hard to deal with Ming arms.

To be honest, the Manqing Navy is not strong in combat, but is actually a weak chicken. However, it cannot withstand the surrendered traitors.

After the traitors of the Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's navy quickly grew stronger.

In fact, Dorgon didn't expect the navy to fight more, as long as he was familiar with navigation. After all, their purpose was to land on the shore and burn the enemy's food and grass.
