Yang Guozhu, Gao Yongming, and Su Ding, generals of Xuanfu, took He Xuan to the west of Songshan City.

Yang Guozhu smiled bitterly: "I heard Su Ding say that you are more aggressive, but you didn't expect to be so aggressive. This time, he offended General Ningyuan Wu Sangui. Be careful that he secretly takes action against you in the future. This person's temperament is a bit stingy."

"Wu Sangui wants to deal with me? Just rely on him? What tricks does he have to deal with me?" He Xuan said with some disdain.

Yang Guozhu was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "That's right, I forgot that you are the No. 1 He Shen General in the world. No matter what moves Wu Sangui has, he can't do anything to someone like you. By the way, today is just the time when I am on the charge of the West City Wall, so you will follow me to the West City Wall to see. You are my general. If the Qing army attacks, you can do your part."

He explained it afterwards, and only then did He Xuan understand how Songshan City is now deploying defenses.

Songshan City has four walls.

No matter which side, you may be attacked by the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the city defense of Songshan City is like this.

There are eight generals in Songshan City, namely Wang Pu, General of Datong, Yang Guozhu, General of Xuanfu, Tang Tong, General of Miyun, Bai Guangen, General of Ji Town, Cao Bianjiao, General of the Association, Ma Ke, General of Shanhaiguan, Wang Tingchen, General of Qiantun Guard, and Wu Sangui, General of Ningyuan.

And then the two were guarding the west walls of Datong General Wang Pu and Xuanfu General Yang Guozhu. The soldiers of Datong General Wang Pu came to guard the odd days, while the soldiers of Xuanfu General Yang Guozhu came to guard the odd days.

General Tang Tong of Miyun and General Bai Guangen of Ji Mansion guarded the East City Wall. General Tang Tong of Miyun guarded the even-day wall. General Bai Guangen of Ji Mansion guarded the city wall.

The General General of the Association of the ASEAN, Cao Bianjiao, and the General General of Shanhaiguan, Ma Ke, guarded the southern city wall. Cao Bianjiao came to guard the odd number of days, while the General General of Shanhaiguan, Ma Ke, guarded the even number of days.

Wang Tingchen, the general general of Qiantun Guard, and Wu Sangui, the general general general of Ningyuan, guarded the northern city wall. The soldiers under Wang Tingchen came to guard the odd few days, and the soldiers under Ningyuan, the general general general of Ningyuan, Wu Sangui, the general general.

And this day is an even day.

"I am very interested in killing the Tartars. I have no choice but to pay attention." He Xuan said.

Next, Yang Guozhu, Gao Yongming, Su Ding, and He Xuan went up to the west city wall. Although Songshan City was just a small city, it was still a real city after all. Its wall was quite thick, far from comparable to that of Qingshan Military Fort. The city wall was about six meters high.

Yang Guozhu held the bricks and stones on the city wall and said with emotion: "This time, our Ming Kingdom has accumulated in Songshan City, and the last elite will be the one. If you lose again in this battle, it will be unimaginable."

Yang Guozhu is indeed a passionate figure. In his original history, after the defeat in Jinzhou, Songshan, the Qing army persuaded surrender with high officials and generous salaries. Yang Guozhu fought to the death and did not surrender until he was shot. He was really patriotic, so he felt that the pressure on his shoulders was quite great.

"The general is worried. Now we have a total of 130,000 troops, and the exquisite command of the Commander Hong. He also has the help of the general, and I believe that he can defeat the Qing army." Gao Yongming said from the side. He was also quite touched at this time. He remembered that when he first met He Xuan, He Xuan was still a small official, as if he was just a hundred households. In a blink of an eye, he was already a commander of the third rank, and he was also known as the No. 1 god general in the world.

Now He Xuan's position in the Ming army is definitely not under him, the third-rank commander.

"I hope to defeat the Qing Dynasty." Yang Guozhu said.

...

At this moment, I suddenly saw the dense Qing army in the distance, leaning towards this side.

The Qing army is about to attack the city again.

Yang Guozhu's expression changed, "The Qing Dynasty has attacked the city again, everyone is ready."

I saw the Qing army in the distance pushing some cannons and directly arrived at about a mile away from the city wall of Songshan City and stopped, as if debugging cannons.

He Xuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his lips, "The cannon? He has been in this world for so long, and he seems to have never seen this before. But he realized it when he thought about it. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, firearms had appeared. However, because the power of hot weapons was not too strong, the cost was too high, and the explosion was too much, the era of cold weapons and hot weapons was formed.

A small group of Qing army must be cold weapons. For example, the first time he fought against the Qing army, and the second time he was 300 people per Niulu, all of them were like this. But later, when facing Jiergalang, Jiergalang was originally the excluded prince of the Qing Dynasty, with the lowest status among the many banner owners. He probably did not have any firearm troops under his command.

Now, I am facing the absolute main force of the Qing Dynasty. No, it is 80% or 90% of the Qing Dynasty's troops.

At this time, the firearm appears, which is normal.

Especially when siege, the original rushing car had to rush in front of me, and countless people were to die, so it was naturally not as convenient as the cannons with firearms.

To put it bluntly, the cannons of this era are to put a large iron ball, put some gunpowder and iron sheets in it. If the enemy is dense, it is fine to kill a dozen people and injure dozens of people. Of course, such cannons are best used to bomb the city walls.

And in this era, what is the range of cannons?

In the first month of the sixth year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty (1626), 68-year-old Nurhaci personally led 130,000 main forces of the Eight Banners Army to cross the Liaohe River and attack the nether city of Ningyuan. The Ming court sent Yuan Chonghuan to guard the city. Yuan Chonghuan used the "Red Barbarian Cannon" to severely damage the Eight Banners Army, "Each gun is in ruins, and the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses to the banner soldiers. Nurhaci was also injured and forced to withdraw his troops, and died in August of that year due to his injuries.

This section is a typical bragging.

The cannons of this era still want to be shot in one shot, and they are decayed for a few miles. He thought he was launching an atomic bomb.

Check the records of the Ming literati of that era. As for the range of cannons, we can find that the Dutch artillery, known as the Red Barbarian cannon, was the most powerful Western firearm seen by the Ming people. Compared with the Francs, its design and casting are more precise and show greater power. In the 33rd year of Wanli (1605), the Dutch people appeared in Guangdong, and the Guangdong people planned to fight against the enemy with the Portuguese Macau. The Ming Dynasty gradually learned about Dutch firearms from actual combat between China and the Netherlands. The giant gun was relied on by the Red Barbarians, "it was a short distance away, and it could poison people twenty miles away."

There are also comments that were shocked by Western artillery technology, such as: The Netherlands "a large gun is more than two feet long, and the middle is as empty as a four-foot wheel cloud. It can be used to hit the stone city for dozens of miles." (Mao Ruizheng's "Huangming Xiangxu Lu" Volume 5 "Helan") The red cannon "a ten miles a day, and everything is broken when it is done. Although I have a sharp blade, I cannot fight against the enemy; even if I have sharp soldiers, I cannot fight against the war." (Shen Guoyuan's "Two Dynasties' Remembrance" Volume 16).

However, everyone should also know that ancient literati really had no talent in mathematics. They habitually poured water into numbers, and there was no way. The imperial examination never took mathematics. They were quite idiotic in this regard.

The cannons in the Ming Dynasty hit ten miles and twenty miles, hahahaha, it's really funny.

During World War II, the maximum range of 75mm field artillery in various countries was only 9KM, or 18 miles.

According to the records of literati of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that artillery in the Ming Dynasty could be the same as in World War II.

So, just look at these data, don't believe it.

The following information is more reliable.

The range of the cannon is the information on the naval gun of the British "Sea King" in 1632.

First of all, there are 32 pounds and 30 pounds cannons.

According to records, "the weight of these guns exceeds 5,000 pounds, and the projectiles fired can be fired to 3,000 yards if they use a 14° elevation angle."

Then there is the 18-pound cannon, "a 18-pound cannon filled with 5 pounds of gunpowder can penetrate 2-foot-6-inch oak at a distance of 400 yards, and can effectively penetrate 1-foot-of-pine planks even at a distance of 1,000 yards."

So in this era, the best cannons in the British army can hit a thousand yards and have effective killing. A thousand yards is nine hundred meters.

If you study this history, you will find that the British army at that time had already led the Ming army quite far in terms of firearms.

Whether it is the Ming army or the Qing army, the effective range of their cannons cannot reach 900 meters.

After reading the records of the West, let’s take a look at the records of Qi Jiguang, a more reliable person in the Ming Dynasty.

"The True Record of Military Training" written by Qi Jiguang in 1560 is a summary of experience and practical combat when training soldiers in Jizhou Town. The number of Folang Machinery cannons equipped in the Qi family's army is the largest in China and the most complete variety. However, Qi Jiguang talks about the range of cannons, which is only 1-2 miles. "The True Record of Military Training·Folang Machinery Picture" says: "This weapon is the most powerful and extremely fast, but its weight is not suitable for marching. It is as good as the car camp, so it can only be used to guard the city by the side wall. Now there is a car camp,

Without heavy weapons, it is difficult to retreat and conflict with the enemy. The method of making is not limited by copper and iron, but it is mainly solid and thick. It is good to be seven feet long for each gun, so the medicine does not need to be built. Five feet is middle, three feet is only possible, and even shorter, it will be unbearable. ... The method of putting it out, first use the medicine to use the medicine with the size of the gun. Now, we will give one iron center, and send it to the entrance of the child, which is eight parts inside, and the body of the child is still round, and the Priligy can be used for more than one mile (1 step = four feet = 120 cm in the Ming Dynasty), and the man and horses pass through the hole."

To put it bluntly, Qi Jiguang could only hit a mile at that time.
