The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 521 The Power of Heavy Artillery
Two thousand cavalry crossed the hillside and saw a jungle below.

It turns out that there is a jungle under the hillside.

The hillside is about a mile away from the jungle, and the road is downhill all the way.

The jungle is more than ten miles long, and there is no end in sight.

They hurried off their horses and quickly rushed into the jungle.

Almost at the same time that most of them entered the forest, the Qing cavalry behind them also arrived on the hillside, just in time to see their troops entering the forest one after another.

"It's all in the forest." Zakul and Solu shouted.

Solu's face changed slightly, and he didn't give an order to rush down immediately: "Ding Yinas is famous for his insidious work, will there be an ambush in the forest?"

"What did you say?" Zakuer stared at him puzzledly: "This is our territory."

Solu laughed dumbfounded, a little embarrassed.

Hearing that the Qing Dynasty had been defeated several times before, he thought about it.

It's in their territory right now.

Ding Yina might be ambush in the forest here.

Moreover, soldiers and horses from Yizhou in this forest have come here. In order to dig holes, they have cut down the spines, built a bunker similar to the Ming army at the top of the city, and organized a large number of people to come here to cut down trees.

This forest is very close to the sea, and the beach is less than 300 meters after passing the forest. The Ming army may not know the way when they first came here.

"Okay, this Ming army is really looking for death, hahaha, behind the forest is the seaside." Solu laughed.

"Let's go, kill the Ming army." He waved his hand, and the whole army was ready to go down.

Someone on the side said: "When we get to the forest, our arrows won't work well?"

There are many trees in the jungle, so it is not easy to shoot people with arrows.

"It doesn't matter, kill this group of smart dogs like a knife, kill." Zakuer yelled.

Rush, boom, four thousand cavalry rushed down and rushed into the forest.

Originally there was a saying that no one can enter the forest, but they relied on their home field and familiarity with the terrain, so they didn't pay attention to the Ming army at all.

And they have doubled the number of soldiers and horses, so there is reason to be afraid.

Four thousand cavalry rushed down mightily.

Seeing that there are still 300 meters to go to the jungle.

Sudden.

"Boom" a cannon rang out behind the forest.

Zakul and Solu almost thought they were hallucinating, why are there guns here?

Did not wait for them to respond.

Whoosh, a cannonball crossed the jungle and appeared in front of their cavalry with lightning.

Puchi, a cannon hit the cavalry.

"Ah!" There were many screams at the scene, and the cavalry rolled to the ground.

This cannonball is huge, at least it is a warship cannon weighing more than 32 pounds.

When flying over from the air, the Qing cavalry didn't see it at all because of the jungle blocking it.

When they saw it, they had already reached the top of their heads. As soon as the cannon went down, the cavalrymen within ten meters around the first landing point were shocked and fell off their horses one after another.

Boom, the cannonball fell to the ground like a mountain, and the surrounding people turned their backs, and the cavalrymen who were hit were smashed to pieces on the spot.

The cannonball jumped up, slammed, cut off half of the body of a cavalry behind, and then squeaked again, piercing through the horse behind, fell to the ground, and rolled forward.

Plop, plop, seven or eight cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another along the road.

The power of the heavy artillery was so great that at least [-] cavalry fell to the ground with one shot, and the screams of horses and screams of Qing soldiers kept ringing.

"Not good." Zaku suddenly screamed and lost his voice, and immediately understood why the Ming army wanted to run here.

Their naval warships are parked on the sea behind the jungle.

Is this Ding Yi a ghost?

How did he know that this side was just close to the sea, and there happened to be a jungle blocking his view, so he couldn't see the boat on the sea.

In fact, they could see the sea from the hillside they were standing on just now, but they did not see the ship, which proved that the Ming army's ship was very close to the sea and arrived ahead of time.

"Boom, boom, boom." Just five seconds after the first shot fell, there were repeated cannons on the opposite side of the jungle, and I don't know how many cannons exploded.

The Qing soldiers were still rushing forward at this moment and did not stop at all, and at this time, Zakuer and Solu did not dare to stop.

"Come on, just rush into the jungle." They yelled frantically, telling four thousand cavalry to rush into the forest.

All Qing soldiers accelerated crazily.

But Solu's complexion was a bit ugly, and the Ming army's artillery was loud and intensive.

I don't know how many cannons were fired continuously in an instant.

The sound of the cannon is that there may be dozens of cannon fired together, so it resonates and makes a huge sound.

What's more, it's so dense.

He tried to look up, trying to see how many shells were in the sky.

But you can't see it at all, it's all blocked by the jungle.

Sudden.

Puchi, a shell fell into the jungle, Kacha, a tree as thick as a bowl collapsed directly, the shell went forward, broke another tree, and hit the third tree, the third tree also fell, the shell fell Roll forward and stop under the fourth tree.

Almost at the same time as the shell hit the jungle.

Whoosh whoosh, black spots all over the sky fell into Qingqi's formation like rain.

"Longevity God." The Mongol Solu cried out in shock.

In this round of shelling, the Ming army fired at least 100 artillery pieces.

And many shells are comparable to or even larger than their Hongyi Cannon.

With such dense shells, [-]% fell on the cavalry camp of the Qing soldiers like a storm, [-]% fell directly in the jungle, and about [-]% hit other places.

But despite this, the lethality brought by the [-]% of the shells is extremely terrifying.

Just now, the Ming army's first shot almost overturned twenty cavalry. Although most of them survived, those who fell would also be injured.

Nearly a hundred cannons fell in right now, bang, bang, bang.

The scene was like a meteor shower, groups of horses jumped up and down again.

A large number of cavalry flew out, and some cavalrymen hit a subsequent shell in mid-air, puffed, and the whole person was smashed into pieces in mid-air.

The scene immediately looked like a hell on earth, and groups of cavalry were overturned and smashed to pieces.

A cannonball landed in a dense area, and with a plop, it could overturn the surrounding area on the spot.

Solu and Zakuer rushed the fastest, entered the jungle first, and immediately slowed down. The two of them stood at the entrance of the jungle, looked back, and almost vomited blood.

The cavalry behind were shot down in waves, and there were screams and cries everywhere.

It doesn't matter that many people were killed by a cannonball. Some people's legs and arms were broken, and some people and horses were knocked out in half.

Those who survived were crying and shouting, cursing and calling for help.

The two stared round their eyes, completely unable to believe it.

This wave of bombardment alone wiped out nearly a thousand of them.

They thought that the owner of this land, Dan Ding Yi, had asked North Korea to figure out the topographic map of the surrounding area before he attacked Yizhou.

With the cooperation of the Koreans, Ding Yi quickly selected this place for shelling.

His large warship had already arrived here when he fired the signal flare, and perfectly locked the angle and distance of the clearing attack.

And ten days ago, before hitting Yizhou, a ship had already come to measure the distance to ensure the accuracy of the artillery.

After this wave of artillery was fired, the morale of the Qing soldiers fell to the bottom, and those who were lucky enough to rush into the jungle alive were almost beaten out of courage.

After all, they have withstood one of the largest and heaviest artillery pieces of this era, and the most intensive blows.

In the battle of Beigou that day, Ding Yi fired hundreds of cannons, but it was not so fierce.

Because most of Ding Yi's guns at that time were 6-pound field guns.

Right now, they are all large-caliber heavy artillery on warships.
