Chapter 488 Small Caliber Cannon

Qing Cang asked Wang Zongwei: "How is Minister Wang doing?"

Wang Zongwei said: "Report to the commander, all small-caliber cannons and shells have been cast, and there are more than a thousand people in total."

Qing Cang was overjoyed. Just a few days ago, he asked Wang Zongwei and others to recast small-caliber cannons. The distance of this cannon can be relatively close. It can play a huge role within a five-mile range. The cannon alone cannot solve the attack of Cao's army. This is filling the shortcomings of large-caliber cannons. According to Wang Zongwei, the range of these small-caliber cannons ranges between one to five miles, and the bridge is just one mile away. As a result, one big and one small, it is directly controlled by a range of one to ten miles. Now Cao's army has a headache.

For Chen Shou, it is not good news. Qing Cang has more and more trump cards now. With the addition of small-caliber cannons, I believe this war will end soon.

At the same time, guards came to report: "Report the division order. Cao's army gathered more than 30,000 people within five miles, and the number is still increasing. The fortifications outside are fully prepared."

Qing Cang murmured, it seemed that they were going to launch a large-scale attack.

"So fast? Minister Wang, I will ask you to put all the small-caliber cannons onto the city wall."

"yes!"

Wang Zongwei will go down and arrange it now.

Qing Cang left the city tower now, and the cannons had been fired, and the number of enemy troops had also decreased, but there were still a large number of enemies that had not been solved. He could not buy cannons anymore, because it would not be of much significance to use them anymore, and the enemy would still come, and his health was not infinite.

In his eyes, the enemy's fortifications had also been caused. After a large number of enemy troops gathered in the fortifications, some people had already started to move sandbags. They wanted to eat away the defense points and approach the bridge. Once they were allowed to get close to the bridge, they would probably charge.

The cannons from both sides continued to attack. After a while, Wang Zongwei asked the troops to bring up a thousand small-caliber cannons.

"Commander, the cannon has been brought on!"

"Walk, with the direction of the five major bridges as the center, each bridge is equipped with two hundred cannons, the target is to radiate ten feet from the surrounding edges of the bridge!"

He meant that within sixty meters opposite the bridge, the firepower concentration point would be the most fortifications there. I believe that this time it would definitely hurt Cao's army and pay a heavy price.

"yes!"

The small-caliber cannon is not as heavy as the large-caliber one, so it is very fast to carry it.

In less than ten minutes, a thousand small-caliber cannons were ready.

At the same time, Cao's army also showed signs of attack.

Qing Cang was about to take action first, so he ordered.

"Get ready for the cannon!"

With a blink of an eye, the people who operated the cannon began to load ammunition. The cannon was just a smaller version of the cannon and the method of using it was exactly the same.

"Start a fire!"

Bang bang bang

The sound of the cannon shooting was much lighter, but the power was definitely dozens of times greater than that of a musket.

The first shell flew out and directly bombarded the enemy's sandbag. The sandbag was directly bombarded with a football-like hole. At the same time, the enemy behind began to scream in pain.

"What's this! We're dead!"

"Didn't it mean that the Chinese army's cannons cannot attack our defense?"

"General Chen lied to us!"

"It's over, escape to the gully! Hurry!"

At present, a large number of shells flew past, destroying their defense, and fools stayed there and were bombarded by shells. The people on the front line immediately returned and hid in the gully that had just been dug for a while. There might be the safest place. In a short while, a large number of people retreated, and the number of people on the front line was directly reduced by half. Most of the people who did not run were fifty meters away from the bridge.

Seeing that Xiao Cannon had just seen results, Qing Cang directed again: "Stop fighting for me!"

Bang bang bang bang...

The Chinese Legion was crazily attacking Cao's army. This time, their target was even greater and they directly rushed to other places.

How could Cao's army stand such a crazy bombardment? After about an hour of fighting, Cao's army retreated.

At the same time, someone reported: "The commander's cannon shells are less than 100,000 left!"

This means that they only have fifty waves of attacks to use. Looking at Cao's army, it is probably a big deal now. After all, they have a large number of people and require a lot of food. If they have ammunition, they will bear more weight. There are not many shells in Huaxia City, let alone them.

Sure enough, after only five minutes, Cao's army's cannons stopped attacking, which meant that their cannons and ammunition were used up, and they would fight to the death head-on, use their lives to pile up, and attack Huaxia City forcibly.

"All the regiment commanders listened, led their troops across the bridge and seized the enemy's fortifications. The cannons stopped attacking, and the cannon aimed at a range two miles away, and beat me hard!"

At this time, Qing Cang was no longer passive. He wanted to turn passive into initiative and take the initiative to attack Cao's army.

After the order was released, the troops began to act. The small cannons continued to bombard artillery shells, and tens of thousands of Chinese troops crossed the bridge directly and occupied the fortifications established by the enemy. During this period, the two sides had a large amount of fire exchange, but the Cao army was insufficient to lie here and finally lost. This occupation caused the enemy to evacuate in large quantities.

At present, the Chinese army has the advantage, but if they dare not relax, because at the same time, the Cao army has begun to advance the army, and they are constantly approaching the moat. After entering five miles, they will step by step and build up a large number of sandbags. After all, it can play a small protective role than not.

Cao's army was advancing step by step.

Bang bang bang

The cannon also bombarded, and people kept dying, but they could not stop them from moving.

Rumble

And at this time, several huge figures appeared from behind the enemy.

Qing Cang murmured, "The car appeared in the city. Chen Shouzhen used everything and was considered a talent."

He saw about a thousand rushing cars appear. Their appearance can withstand the attack of his small cannons and make the army behind safer. This is not good news for the Chinese Legion. How to clear the rushing cars becomes very important. They are like huge shields. With their protection, the losses of the Cao army's army will be minimized.

At the same time, Wang Zongwei said: "Commander, I have left a secret door in Chongcheng car. As long as I pull it to a secret door, Chongcheng car will lose its power of movement."

"Oh? Tell me what's going on?"

"If the enemy strictly follow the drawings, they will not be able to see what the function of this secret door is, because it is also a major component. Without it, the rushing car would be a piece of scrap wood."

After hearing what Wang Zongwei said, Qing Cang was energetic. This made a thousand city-storming cars useless, and the situation would be reversed again. It now seems that it is very unfavorable for the Chinese Legion.
