Chapter 2624 Who can match the power of the heavy artillery of the Guizi scroll (1)
Sajiala is not a fool. Although he has never fought the Zhou army head-on, he has also seen the power of firecrackers from the Jianzhou army. He knows that facing the Zhou army's camp is not so easy.
But he also knew that he had no way to shirk this task and had to continue.
Nurhachi asked the East China Sea Jurchen to go around the side wall for thousands of miles and then come in to fight this battle. He didn't let them come to accompany them, it was a real fight.
War requires death and sacrifices. This is the case for the Zhou Army, the Jianzhou Army, and the Donghai Jurchen.
Donghai Jurchen has no choice. Now that she has joined Jianzhou and wants to win a place for Donghai Jurchen in the future, Donghai Jurchen must prove her worth.
Jianzhou has won Anlezhou, Tielingwei and Shenyang. It turns out that the side wall built by Dazhou to defend against the enemy is also under Jianzhou's control. It has already formed an overwhelming advantage over Liaodong. If this battle is won, basically The entire Liaodong is in the bag, and the Donghai Jurchen needs to prove themselves in this battle.
Five thousand soldiers are the greatest sincerity that Donghai Jurchen can show, and they can also be regarded as votes, so this battle must be fought well.
These 5,000 people are selected from the East China Sea Jurchen. They are hunters who are good at hunting in the forest. Whether they are knives and forks or archery, they are not inferior to the so-called warriors of Jianzhou Jurchen.
After joining Jianzhou, the strict military training and disciplinary constraints also made the Donghai Jurchen warriors understand the difference between fighting and hunting. The mandatory military discipline also turned the five thousand soldiers of the Donghai Jurchen into a group of real warriors .
Although Zhou Jun's firearms were sharp, as Hu Erhan said, there were only a thousand people in such a camp, and the damage and threat it produced were limited. Relying on the thick large shield and the leather shield for the body, the power of the firearms could be offset to the greatest extent. Once they approach the camp, it's time for the Donghai warriors to show themselves.
As the order was issued, the East China Sea warriors under Sajiala began to file forward. The large shield held high was like a giant door panel, covering it in front of the soldiers. Hold the grip frame of the large shield, keep it upright and balanced, and advance towards the camp at a constant speed.
Even Tao Dasheng didn't expect that the Jianzhou army who came from afar could produce hundreds of giant wooden shields at once. This kind of wooden shields are thick and hard to penetrate with ordinary firecrackers from a hundred steps away, unless they are used Eagle-beaked guns, but this time, considering the integrity and the presence of tiger squatting guns, the camp was not equipped with heavy guns.
This makes the whole situation suddenly severe.
"Hu Er, did you see that? The Jianzhou Army has prepared so many large shields. Your tiger crouching cannon is probably enough." Tao Dasheng looked at Hu Er with an indifferent face, "How many long-barreled cannons did you bring?"
"Who the **** would have thought that these grandsons would go around hundreds of miles and still carry big shields? I only brought three long-barreled cannons as backup, and I almost didn't even bring these three. The brothers thought it was heavy, Mules and horses are too lazy to pull,..." Hu Er said angrily, "I really met him."
"Stop talking nonsense, put the long-barreled cannons quickly, and they will come in handy to some extent. You can't just watch the Jianzhou army come to the front and fight. Their bows and arrows are enough for us to drink a pot. "Tao Dasheng's heart sank when he heard that there were only three long-barreled cannons, but it was better than nothing, it depends on whether the rhythm of this artillery team is fast enough.
"If you want to tell me, **** it, seeing these grandsons using big shields, I knew that this battle was not easy for us, and we have already arranged it." Seeing Tao Dasheng's serious face, Hu Er curled his lips, "You don't want to look like your parents are dead. Although there are only three long-barreled cannons, the ground is enough for them to drink a pot. The ground is so hard that once a cannon is fired, they can be strangled into blood. Hulu, just watch, you let Pan Laosan and the others watch, once our artillery breaks through the enemy's shield formation, it will make a big gap towards me, I don't believe they can hold it steady!"
Long-barreled guns are more troublesome to arrange than tiger-squatting guns. The heavy gun barrel weighs more than two thousand kilograms, and more than ten people need to use a pulley crane with moving wheels to move it.
Fortunately, when I brought the long-barreled cannon, I had prepared tools for this. Feng Ziying also considered that it was inconvenient to carry and place the long-barreled cannon, so he introduced the pulley crane that had been widely used in the shipyard into the army and reduced the size. It facilitates the use of the artillery team.
There are not many places suitable for long-barreled guns on the high ground, so I had to move a few tiger squatting guns that had been arranged earlier, and then let the long-barreled guns settle down.
It took less than half an hour to complete this operation. At this time, the Jianzhou Army, actually the Jurchen infantry of the East China Sea, had already held up a large shield and overwhelmingly overwhelmed them.
Hu Er's eyes narrowed, and the muzzle of the long-barreled gun was adjusted according to the elevation angle of the gun carriage. The artillery soldiers began to determine the shooting distance according to the calculation method. It was not until the soldiers of the three artillery carriages raised their hands that Hu Er slammed With a wave of his hand, a word burst out from between his teeth: "Let go!"
The fuse was ignited, and there was a "sizzling" sound, and the burning process was quickly completed. Accompanied by a slightly dull but shocking loud noise, the three giant cannons all shrank back at the same time, and the huge recoil made them The entire sports car was shaking. Although a return spring was specially installed, such a strong recoil still affected the position of the entire gun carriage.
The soldiers immediately pushed the cannon back to its original position according to the determined position, and also began to raise the binoculars to observe the effect of the three cannonballs fired.
The three artillery shells roared out, forming a graceful and ferocious arc in the air, skimming the distance between the two sides, and heading straight for the shield array that was steadily advancing.
Considering the destruction of the formation of the shield formation, the gunners deliberately lowered the muzzle slightly, and used the huge kinetic energy of the shells to damage the entire shield formation after they hit the ground.
All the Jurchen soldiers in the East China Sea, including Sajiala in the back row, also heard this almost one sound, but in fact there were three muffled sounds before and after.
But at the same time as the sound of the cannon was heard, the three shells had moved from far to near, and quickly fell about twenty steps in front of the shield array, and then touched the ground and bounced up.
The ground was covered with thin ice, and the ground was frozen very hard. After the round shell hit the ground, it immediately bounced up and ran forward, but the bounce distance was not as high as expected. Less than four feet, almost crazily rushing forward along the ground.
None of the Jurchen soldiers of the East China Sea who were advancing steadily with their shields on their backs expected such a scene to happen. The soldiers who took the lead in raising their shields were all selected Hercules. Not only were they taller than their companions, but all of them were A person who is proficient in martial arts and has great courage, but in the face of this sudden impact, he still looks so vulnerable and helpless.
A cannonball bounced off the ground first and crashed into a wooden shield. The fierce force instantly shattered the wooden shield. The four soldiers who were supporting the wooden shield didn't even have time to call out. As soon as it was released, he was hit by the huge impact force, his bones were broken, his chest was sunken, and he fell to the ground spurting blood.
The shell did not lose its kinetic energy at all because of this obstruction, and continued to penetrate backwards swiftly and without ground, hitting the lower edge of the second wooden shield that followed.
It also penetrated without hindrance, smashing the lower half of the wooden shield, breaking the legs of a soldier behind the wooden shield and then bounced off the ground again, changing direction slightly in the air, and hitting another soldier who was holding aloft Soldier of pole bracket.
The soldier reacted quickly enough, and wanted to use the pole to withstand the sudden blow, but the wooden pole as thick as an arm broke suddenly under the impact of the bullet, and the bullet bounced out and knocked out a huge depression in the soldier's chest. Before he could hum, his internal organs were shattered.
But the projectile continued to run backwards, crashing into the feet of the soldiers with the third wooden shield, causing the legs and bones of the two soldiers to break before it stopped.
This is the power of heavy artillery.
And on this kind of winter day that has been icy and snow-hardened, even after running for twenty steps, the entire resistance composed of manpower and shields can be easily torn to pieces without any hindrance. force.
The two shells that came rushing in after that broke into the shield from both sides almost indiscriminately, and the result was almost the same as the first shell.
Especially since the third shell landed ten steps away from the shield formation, it bounced higher. It rushed into the shield formation almost only after touching the ground twice, tearing the first shield into pieces in an instant. , the four soldiers supporting with all their strength at the back all fell to the ground spurting blood, and then the shell smashed open three shields in a row, causing a series of casualties, and penetrated from the junction of the two shields, and directly Killing and injuring many soldiers was the only way to stop.
Just three shells, the damage caused to the entire shield is unimaginable. At least fifteen soldiers died in this **** catastrophe, and more than thirty people were injured, many of whom had internal organs. It may be difficult for seriously injured people who are injured or have broken bones and limbs to survive.
Sajiala, who was sitting at the back end, didn't know what happened in front of him for a while. He only felt that the whole formation seemed to stagnate suddenly in the middle, and even the entire forward formation slowed down. The screams and whines of heaven and earth came from the front, but under such a dense formation, unless the entire formation collapsed, even if he was the coach, he would not be able to quickly obtain intelligence information.
When he learned of this tragic situation from the words passed from the front, Hu Er's long-barreled cannon had already fired a second round of bombardment.
This round of bombardment is more precise than the first round.
The three shells almost all penetrated directly into the shield formation very cleanly.
Although in a short period of time, the Jurchen warriors at the front used the wooden shields at the back to re-complete a complete shield formation, but it was meaningless.
