Chapter 736
In the artillery position of Shenji Camp, everyone held their breaths, and the surrounding fields were quiet, as if they were waiting for something.

Chen Jiugao, the former battalion commander, took a deep breath and said, "Let's try the angle!"

The guerrilla general Chen Shihu of the Chinese army responded loudly: "Yes!"

He turned around and swung his right hand vigorously, and shouted majestically: "Command, the fifth gun position, test fire a gun, and calibrate the shooting circle!"

A banner soldier next to Chen Shihu heard the order, and first blew a series of trumpets, and then another banner soldier beside him raised two small triangular flags, one red and one green, and played a series of semaphores in succession. Raised straight ahead, the green flag was raised high and swung down violently.

Behind the fifth-ranked Hongyi cannon, a gunner stretched out his torch according to his order, and lit the fuse of a twelve-pound cannon. Sparking fire door fuse.

The lead wire flickered with sparks, hissing and burning, and suddenly the flames flashed at the fire door, followed by a deafening loud noise, a large piece of flames spewed out from the thick muzzle, and thick gunpowder smoke immediately filled the air.

Amidst the flames and smoke, the barrel of the cannon shook violently, and a large black iron bullet rushed out of the barrel at high speed, flying straight to the Qing Army Niangniang Temple position in the distance.

For a moment, all the people from both the Ming and Qing parties were engrossed in watching the flight direction of the iron cannon, guessing in their minds where it might land.

With a gloomy face, Niu Erjia asked the North Korean soldier fiercely, "Goryeo dog, what did you just say?"

The vest soldiers following behind him also looked at the North Korean soldier with the same ferocious eyes.

The Korean soldier was frightened out of his wits right away. He hurriedly bent down and knelt down on the ground, yelling something in Korean while kowtowing vigorously. Soon, his forehead was dripping with blood, but he was still as young as a child. It's like a chicken eating rice, and I keep kowtow.

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of head touching the ground is endless, like a rush of war drums.

Seeing this situation, the Korean soldiers next to them all had expressions of grief and indignation, and the feeling of sorrow for the death of the rabbit and the fox emerged spontaneously!

Seeing the expressions on the faces of these Korean soldiers, Geng Zhongming, King Huaishun of the Qing Dynasty, couldn't help frowning. He also looked a little displeased when he looked at the faces of the Korean officers.

Geng Zhongming touched the beard on his chin, and persuaded Niu Erjia: "Niu Erjia Niulu, why do you need to be angry with this little slave? Now that the war is imminent, peace should be the most important thing, and we should encourage the soldiers..."

He had just said this, when he suddenly heard a bang from the Ming army's position opposite, he quickly turned his head to look, and saw a black cannon flying through the air.

Niu Erjia was facing this direction, and he also heard the sound of explosions. The black cannons came from far to near, and he screamed: "Han Gouzi is firing!"

He rushed forward in a hurry, and threw his body behind the low wall in one fell swoop to avoid the shelling.

Like the ears of wheat blown by the wind, the Eight Banners soldiers, the Tianyou Army, and the North Korean Army behind the low wall were so frightened by Niu Erjia, and they all ran away in a hurry. They followed Niu Erjia's example and quickly dodged to the low wall, The body leans tightly against the wall.

But he heard the iron cannon cut through the sky and landed about ten steps in front of the low wall of the mountain with the sound of piercing wind.

There was a loud "boom", shocking.After shooting up rock debris and a large piece of soil, it continued to roll and jump forward, and finally fell into the ditch in front of the low wall, making a soft noise.

It seems that although the cannons fired by the artillery of the Ming army were powerful, they did not pose any real threat. The Qing soldiers and Korean soldiers behind the low wall immediately cheered.

Niu Luzhang Jingniuerjia also stood up and laughed wildly. He seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness just now. He pointed at the Ming army artillery formation in the distance and cursed loudly: "Haha, the cannons of the Han dog are pure bullshit, you, King Huaishun!" If you don’t bang him, give me a bad breath!”

The Ming army's cannon shot was empty, which made the Qing army and Korean soldiers stationed at the Niangniang Temple feel confident. All kinds of strange shouts, cheers, laughter and cursing were heard endlessly, and some people even sang all kinds of noises. ballad.

…………

While the Qing troops stationed at Niangniang Temple were celebrating enthusiastically, Chen Jiugao had directed the gunners of the Shenji Battalion to recalibrate the design angle of the artillery.

With a gloomy face, he first looked back at the location of the Chinese army where Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, turned around and waved his hands solemnly.

After receiving the order, the trumpeter of the Chinese army blew the sharp swan sound, and then waved the flag, and the military order was quickly passed on.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

The sound exploded, like a series of thunderbolts, continuous.

The thirteen Hongyi cannons on the entire artillery array fired their first neat volley. Amidst the deafening roar, thick white smoke gushed out in large strands, almost covering the entire artillery position.

Such a loud noise startled the herd of cattle and horses behind the cannon formation in the hills and screamed, and even the large formation of the Chinese army in the rear caused a commotion.

Although Hong Chengchou and others were a little far away, they also felt the power of the artillery, and felt their hearts beating violently: Hongyi Cannon, it really has such power!

…………

The Qing army and Korean army on the low wall outside the Niangniang Temple are like puppets, their smiles are stiff, and their bodies are also fixed there, motionless, as if they have suddenly pressed the pause button, but their eyes are full of horror, and they will They pulled back to reality.

Looking at the huge shells shot towards him in the distance, the sound of screaming through the air was many times louder than before, from far to near.

"Ah! Ah..."

Many people froze in place, only screaming loudly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

A large iron ball weighing more than ten kilograms whizzed towards it, and bombarded heavily on a low wall.

Amidst the loud noise, the low wall was hit hard by the big iron cannon, and a big gap was blown out. Several North Korean soldiers who were leaning on the low wall to avoid the gun were shocked by the strong impact and flew straight away. on the ground.

They were in a squatting position, and when they flew out like this, their internal organs were shaken out of place, and screams and howls arose everywhere.

Niu Luzhang Jingniu Erjia shouted loudly, and told Huaishun King Geng Zhongming to guard the outer artillery positions, then he lifted himself up and ran quickly towards the Niangniang Temple. In his opinion, these earthen walls are so fucking unsafe .

He ran nimbly, even though he was wearing two layers of heavy armor, he still ran fast, and behind him were those warriors in vests who accompanied him, also running along with him fearfully.

There was a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, it sounded like the water in the kettle was boiling, and when it was boiling extremely hot, it made people feel upset when they heard it, and they wanted to plug their earholes tightly. .
