Chapter 382 The largest artillery battle in history

"Full firepower, fuck it!"

As Qian Dapao's firecracker sounded, three red flags were raised on the Pingyi Gate Tower, and then the sound of swan horns sounded. △,

Anderson Sanpao heard the sound of horns, turned his head and looked at the three flags on the Pingyi Gate Tower, and then gave the order to fire the gun with a plain expression.

The various types of artillery gunners in the turrets who were already ready, immediately started to operate excitedly. The cannons had already been in place, and all targeted the Qinglu cannon formation.

"The No. 1 gun is ready!"

"The No. 2 gun is ready!"

"The third cannon is ready!"

Anderson Sanpao heard the report below, walked to Fu Shan and stood attentively and saluted, and reported loudly.

"Anderson, deputy battalion commander of the Heavy Artillery Battalion, reported to the head of the town that the first group of 120 cannons are all ready to lock the enemy's artillery position in the east, and can open fire at any time, and request orders!"

"Open fire!"

"Open fire!"

"Open fire!"

Two groups of four artillery battalions, a total of 240 cannons opened fire at the same time. On the turrets on the city walls south of Liaoyang, waves of orange-red fireworks flashed, and then the sound of thunder like the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, followed by balls of black smoke spreading on the top of the city.

The two gun groups each had 120 cannons, each of which had four 4 pounds, two 8 pounds, one 12 pounds short cannon, the other four 4 pounds, two 8 pounds and one 12 pound long cannon.

There are four pounds, two pounds, one 12-top canonum, 24 pounds and 32 pounds canonum.

Three doors of 6-inch grenade and two doors of 8-inch grenade.

There are also three 8-inch mortars, two 10-inch and 12-inch mortars each.

Solid iron bombs, big stone bombs, shrapnel bombs, etc. suddenly hundreds of shells roared out.

For a moment, the world changed color.

As soon as the Chu army's artillery group showed its might, the Qing army was immediately confused. Dorgon was eating beef jerky under his white blue dragon banner at this time, and the Ming army had already been strengthened by the Ming army near Liaoyang. There was no one in Haizhou, and Dorgon's army still ate the food brought from Jinzhou.

The dried and hard beef jerky was so unpalatable that it was so stuffy that it was too stolen and could not digest it after eating it. Dorgon would rather eat human meat than eat this thing every day. At that time, they surrounded Daling River, Zu Dashou's more than 10,000 soldiers and insects in a few months, and finally ate more than 20,000 civilians and people. It is said that in ancient times, people often used military rations, and many northern tribes invaded the south, and often killed Han people and marinated them with salt as military rations. The Han people were called two-legged sheep.

In fact, when Dorgon was eating jerky, he wanted to catch a few Han people to slaughter them and eat fresh food. But now, Liaonan has become a completely uninhabited area. Apart from breaking through Liaoyang City, he might as well take over Jinzhou Lushun, otherwise he would not find a living person.

After taking Liaoyang City, he might consider killing two young Han people to try it out and see how the two-legged sheep tasted. While chewing the beef jerky desperately, he thought to himself.

Then at this moment, the sky changed color and thunder roared.

When he heard the terrifying momentum, Dorgon knew that it was the Chu army's cannons that opened fire. Then he compared the momentum of the cannon group when he attacked Jinzhou, and his heart thundered.

Because he recalled the scene at that time, he was not as powerful as today. It was not that he was not as powerful as he was, but that he did not even have half of the momentum today.

One third probably doesn't.

Then he suddenly thought of the information about the artillery fire of the Chu army that he had seen before. For every 5,000 people in the Chu army, there was a cannon battalion. There were 60 cannons, all of which were red barbarian cannons. In addition, there were four light cannons in each company of infantry, which were called light cannons. However, they could fire solid iron bullets ranging from 369 kilograms and 3500 steps away.

At that time, Dorgon completely disbelief and thought it was an exaggeration.

Especially those scouts didn't even know how to lie, but said that the light cannon was only fifty-five kilograms light, and the weight was only more than 100 kilograms, and it could be disassembled, two mules could be loaded, and three mules could transport a cannon, along with guns and shells. The range was three or five hundred steps, and its power was not less than a thousand kilograms of red barbarian cannons.

In particular, they even said that their cannons can not only send iron balls, but also explode bombs, and then explode when they fly overhead.

How could it be? He didn't believe it at the time.

But now, Dorgon regrets it, regrets why he didn't believe it at that time.

There are really cannons that can shoot more than 100 kilograms of large iron balls and big stone bombs, and there are also bombs that can explode before they are fired to the top of their heads.

But it's too late to regret it.

Dorgon's two artillery positions were now completely shrouded in the fierce artillery fire of the Chu army.

Many of the two artillery positions of the Qing army had just been working hard for a long time to remove the cannon from the car, push it to the designated position, push the tractor to the back, pull the ammunition truck to the front, and all kinds of gunfire were arranged. The gunner also called a bucket of freshly burned water behind the bucket, and prepared it to clean the barrel in a while.

The gunmen of each gun were adjusting the gun position and began to gesture at the Liaoyang city wall. After a while, they would first test the Liaoyang City.

But at this moment, the Chu army suddenly opened all artillery fire.

The Qing army's gunners were all dumbfounded.

They were all gunners, so they knew better about guns than Dorgon, but they listened to the roaring sounds filled with ears, looked at the dazzling firepower, smoke, and shells running around in the sky with sparks.

And those big cannon shells that could be seen from a distance, they were all stunned.

How many cannons are this?

"This is a historic moment, this is a showdown of artillery!" Anderson said excitedly, looking at the afterimage of the shells flying through the sky, he was as if he was looking at the beautiful meteor shower, and he couldn't help but make a wish for them: I hope that one day in the future, I would become the chief artillery of the Chu army and a guerrilla general of the Eastern Empire.

The princes and belles of the Qing Dynasty all had one bad habit, that is, they were overly superstitious about the power of riding and shooting.

Even though Huang Taiji discovered the power of firearms back then, he built Wu Zhenchao and equipped many guns and cannons, this Wu Zhenchao was a Han army.

After seeing the mighty use of artillery in western Liaoning, Dorgon also used the captured artillery force to build an artillery unit. This artillery was reused by Wuzhenchaoha, the name that had been expanded to the Four Han flags. The artillery was 5,000 people. There were gunners who operated cannons, drivers responsible for transporting cannons, as well as shield soldiers and gun soldiers who specialize in guarding artillery.

However, this brand new Wu Zhenchao is still a Han army. Not only are the gunners basically all the Han army and the captured Ming Dynasty gunners, but even the ones responsible for transportation are all Han people's coats, guards, shield soldiers, gunners, and Han soldiers.

After all, Dorgon just regarded artillery as the auxiliary troops of the Eight Banners, helping the Eight Banners to break through the enemy's city defense and light enemy formations. In his eyes, he actually needed the Eight Banners warriors to attack the city and destroy the enemy, destroy the front and trap the formation.

This idea was correct. The Han people were using cannons, the Eight Banners and the Cavalry of the Eight Banners, and each showed their strengths. But what he did not expect was that such a structure also had a major flaw.

The new Wu Zhenchao, composed of Baoyi slaves, prisoners of war, and Han army, had limited training and even less willingness to fight, especially they were not willing to fight to the end for the Qing Dynasty.

In the overwhelming bombing, the first reaction of this newly built Wu Zhen Chaoha was to run.

Unfortunately, this artillery unit is too new and has insufficient training. Not only is it not good at shooting artillery well, but many details are also not done well. History has long told us that details determine success or failure.

If Anderson and Sanpao were the main general of Wu Zhenchao, he would kick these men one by one.

Damn, each cannon must be at least three meters away. Don’t you know that your cannon can hit the enemy, and the enemy cannons can definitely hit you. You put all the cannons so closely because the artillery fire is more powerful? Then don’t you know that the artillery fire is too concentrated. If the enemy shoots it in one shot, it is likely that two artillery groups will be destroyed in one shot?

Also, if you use the tractor, just sway it to the side? How come you can drag the cannon truck to a farther place behind, and you can't lead the horse to a farther place to feed water and grass? Are you not accumulating good deeds and becoming virtuous? The sharper the cannon, the heavier it is, and you are more dependent on the cannon truck and horse?

You throw the tractor and horse-pulling behind the cannons. Don’t you know that this will make them the priority targets of enemy cannons? Without the tractor and horse-pulling, these three or five thousand kilograms of cannons, plus one or two thousand kilograms of cannon stands, do you want to carry them or carry them?

Also, the most important point is that you are so fucked that you are so unafraid of dying that you are not afraid of getting fire. Even if you are careful not to get fire, are you not afraid of enemy cannons aiming at your ammunition truck?

Solid large iron bullets are not afraid of explosions, nor can they be damaged. But there are gunpowder cannons on Nima's car. If you bombard the Chinese ammunition truck with one shot, it would be like a fire again, or even two shots and three shots.

The death of the ammunition truck is much better than the artillery shells fired from afar.

Unfortunately, no one told these half-bucketed amateur gunners, and of course An Sanpao would not tell them. He would now let his men stare at the enemy's ammunition truck.

It was completely within the range, and was still not afraid of death and was placed with the cannons. All the cannons, tractors, and ammunition trucks were all scattered together. The cannons, drivers, shields, gunners, and thousands of people were all crowded there.

Do you think you are going to the market?

The Jiutou Bird Cannon Camp is not a vegetarian. It is the best gunner today. They also operate the most sophisticated and advanced artillery today, and the shells they fire are all at the world's leading level.

The ammunition truck was hit, and it was so dense and so forward that it was hard not to hit it.

The ammunition truck exploded, and the ammunition trucks rumbling and exploded. The iron bullets and shot bullets on the trucks splashed and bounced around. The gunners, drivers, and gunmen who were not covered in armor were extremely fragile and were ruthlessly harvested.

The cannons fell apart, and the cannons even hit the sky.
