Chapter 117 The cannon is coming

Sure enough, while the Jiannu soldiers were digesting their food after a meal, Azig ordered Wu Zhenchaoha in his army to check the cannon, and then set up a position to prepare for the attack.

In his mind, although it seemed that the savages had no intention of overwhelming all their troops with fortifications to fight our army to the death.

But looking from a distance, there are still many people in that area busy coming and going. It seems that although the fortifications are not completed, the savages still want to use the unfinished fortifications to resist our army.

It's good to capture the savage inside in this way, and get some information.

According to our common practice in the Qing army's campaign, a round of bombing is carried out first, and then the armored men who have finished digesting can swarm up.

If the Ming Dynasty was rich during the war, it would be the same way.

Brainless and easy to use.

So Azig’s pockmarked face looks very relaxed!

Not surprisingly, it’s another victory!

On the Black Flag Army side, Kalama and others, who had long been waiting for the bombardment, hid in the cave for a while, until they became bored again, so they popped up again to see what Jiannu was doing.

"Bang."

"It's just like what we thought at the beginning. We didn't break into groups of three or five people to charge. Tsk, you didn't even bother to lift your shield?"

Isn’t it just as useless?

"Jiannu's artillery bombardment didn't have the effect of killing or injuring the soldiers. Wuerte, you deliberately favored the attacking side before."

Moreover, for Azig, shelling the savages was a purely blood-losing business. It was painful to shoot with solid bullets! Naturally, it was impossible to use explosive bullets.

Fortunately, there is enough time.

"Dang Dang Dang!!"

"They're screwed."

The other tribal leaders did the same, paying attention to the holes drilled above their heads.

From their perspective, the savages began to flee crazily during the test shelling. When the second round of shelling came, not even a single figure could be seen from a distance.

As for the Black Flag Army?

Most of them had already straightened up when the Jiannu artillery fire stopped, raised their heads or even climbed half of their bodies to observe the direction of the Jiannu.

"Ah, yes! Me too!"

In this way, the soldiers who were already ready to go to war were naturally excited to hear the news.

Seeing the nearly 3,000 Jiannu soldiers divided into several battalions, heading straight for the trenches one by one, the black flag warriors who were specially selected to act as observers on the many watchtowers above the trenches naturally started to move.

The gong struck violently, alarming Zhu Youjian and others down in the cave.

But for the Black Flag Army to master this simple charter, the several Jin Yiwei who were responsible for this matter were so angry that they all had moles on their mouths.

It's different with Jiannu.

"Quick, quick, quick, give me a divine thunderwood, I want to hit it too!"

So Zhu Youjian was sitting in the hole and clearly felt a heavy shell falling on the hole.

Kalama came up and took a look, and immediately took a breath of air.

The training content is very simple.

When Zhu Youjian heard the sound, he also stood up and straightened his armor. He put on his helmet and buried his head very low before digging out. Otherwise, the lightning rod on the helmet would be knocked by the hole.

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw it.

Instead, the armored men and the newly recruited Han troops from the green battalion were prepared to press towards the trench position, while the heavily armored flag soldiers followed closely behind to press the formation.

During the previous simulation exercises, Wuerte had served as a referee several times, and the description of the power of the cannon in his mouth was much more powerful than the Jiannu cannon.

When the leader of Wuzhen Chaoha who established the slaves saw that the calibrated artillery piece had indeed fallen into the trench position, he immediately excitedly called on his men to prepare for a large-scale artillery attack.

After taking a quick look around, several people suddenly heard a small explosion, and then saw a small black ball slowly flying towards the trench from the distant sky in an arc.

Many black flag troops on the observation tower of the position also roared in time!

"hiss"

Azig, who stood on the top of the hill and looked far away, could see it clearly, so he simply called off the bombardment to save some money.

"The Jiannu bombardment has begun!!"

Zhu Youjian was extraordinarily tall. He could see the whole situation outside when he stood up. He saw that the charging Jiannu sergeants were indeed affected by the horse resistance in front of the trench. The multiple battalions gradually merged and headed towards the unknown.

Ju Ma's 'weak spot' came straight towards him, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

The elm cannon had already been set up on the trench, and the soldiers still had the time to fiddle with it. They took aim and only waited for the observer to give the order before firing.

He used the trenches to avoid the artillery fire of the Jiannu slaves. As soon as the artillery fire stopped, he stood up and looked outside. At the same time, under the command of the warriors on the nearby tower, he began to repeatedly load and fire the elm cannon.

"Hey hey hey."

So when Jiannu's first artillery shot hit the ground and bounced twice on the cold, dry and hard ground, there were almost no people in the trenches.

Although the location where the savages were entrenched was not very favorable, it was full of ravines and horses, so the cavalry was of no use.

After a while, the thunderous sound of artillery sounded continuously, and artillery shells of different sizes came straight towards the trenches.

At the same time, they also hugged the elm cannon that they had used as a stool under their buttocks, waiting only for the warriors on the watchtower to speak out!

When Jiannu was on his way, Zhu Youjian began to train the Black Flag Army in trench warfare.

After practicing this routine for more than ten days, about 70% of the Black Flag Army was finally able to execute it skillfully.

At the same time, you should also observe the elm cannon on hand. If it spontaneously ignites, discard it quickly and look for the nearest hole in the ground to obtain a new elm cannon.

Being in the trenches gives me a sense of security, the conversations among everyone are natural and casual, and there is not much enthusiasm for fighting.

Seeing this, he tentatively opened his hand, and luckily received a few grains of sand that were shaken down from the cracks in the wooden pile wall above his head.

"Look, the cannons of Jiannu are incredibly powerful. What came this time was one of the main force of Jiannu. It was because of this that I didn't mention it before. The trenches were not dug well and the countermeasures were not shown. The warriors were not good.

Drink and eat meat in peace."

"I'll let you see the people who were killed and injured when I get the chance later. Get ready first. Jianu shouldn't be shelling for too long. Our soldiers avoided the artillery fire and disappeared on the defense line. They should be there soon.

The charge is launched."

As a close combat fanatic, I can feel some empathy when I see soldiers of my own kind about to join together in a meat grinder.

Suddenly, the Black Flag Army, which was still moving in the trench position, looking in the direction of the Jiannu, or gathering above to chat, suddenly moved! One by one, they turned over and got out of the trench, or shrank their heads to avoid, or looked for the nearest ones.

Hiding in a cave.

Unfortunately, at this time, many Black Flag troops ran into the holes behind the trenches.

This set of regulations is simple to say.

The Black Flag Army here is waiting for work.

The Black Flag warriors on the watchtower were waiting for Jiannu to break into the second layer of horse-rejecting defense line that marked the range, and would immediately give the order to fire.

Jiannu on the opposite side was shouting and roaring one by one, preparing for the upcoming encounter with the enemy.

Also because the enemy savages seemed timid, they only poked their heads at the bottom of the ravine in the distance, and they were all distributed behind several ravines and hills, with no intention of climbing up the ravines to gather together to form a formation.

Naturally, there is a ferocious smile on the face.
