The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 373 Rifled Cannon Shows Its Power!

A gunner of the Qing army was torn to pieces and sent flying into the sky by the shock wave!

It is indeed the best choice to use flowering ammunition to deal with the artillery of the Qing army.

Compared with solid bullets and shotgun shells, flowering bullets pose a much greater threat to artillery.

Because the killing effect of flowering ammunition on the artillery crew is far more than that of solid ammunition and shotgun ammunition!
To put it bluntly, the artillery of this era is just a big iron bump. Destroying a artillery is not as simple as imagined.

Unless it can directly hit the barrel of the artillery with a solid bullet.

Otherwise, it is almost impossible to destroy a cannon!
However, as long as the flowering bomb hits the vicinity of the artillery group, even if it cannot directly destroy the artillery, it can still reimburse the entire artillery group.

As long as the gunner is gone, even if the barrel of the artillery can't be destroyed, it will be a large ornament!
Fancy but not useful!
The gunners of this era are technical arms. The gunners are all dead on the battlefield. It is not as simple as imagined to find enough gunners in a while.

Rumble!
The flames formed by the explosion of the flower bomb caused the gunpowder on the artillery positions of the Qing army to explode.

Several barrels of gunpowder exploded together, and the shock wave directly lifted a cannon on the side into the sky.

With a bang, the cannon body was deformed when it hit the ground, and an unlucky Qing soldier was hit by the heavy artillery.

Below the waist and abdomen, it directly turned into meat paste, and the person died suddenly on the spot!

The Ming army's artillery concentrated its firepower and concentrated fire on the Qing army's artillery positions. Amid the rumbling explosions, the Qing army's artillery positions suffered heavy losses.

But the war between the two sides continues!

Shang Kexi ordered the artillery group of the Qing army to fight back, the roar of the cannons resounded, the artillery group of the Qing army also changed their target, and wanted to attack the artillery positions of the Ming army.

However, compared with the rifled guns used by the Ming army, the smoothbore guns of the Qing army had a limited range.

The artillery of the Ming army could reach the artillery formations of the Qing army, but the artillery of the Qing army could not reach the artillery formations of the Ming army.

The cannonballs flew into the air and landed on the ground!

Rolling forward on the ground, the kinetic energy was exhausted, and it was blocked by the artillery slope in front of the Ming army's artillery array.

It stayed on the ground drippingly, without the slightest movement!

"Little ones, cheer up your motherfuckers, pack enough medicine, don't make small moves."

"Aim at the cannons of the bright thieves, let these damned bright thieves see how powerful our red-clothed cannons of the Qing Dynasty are!"

Deng Yuan, who wore a green battalion jacket with a money rat tail, roared loudly.

Deng Yuan was full of confidence in the red cannon of the Qing Dynasty.

He was one of the first traitors who followed King Sanshun to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Over the years, he has conquered many strong cities and fortresses for the Qing Dynasty.

Fighting all the way from north to south, almost invincible!
The red cannons of the Qing Dynasty can produce amazing results in every battle, and he believes that this battle will be the same.

However, Deng Yuan's face was quite ugly seeing that his own cannons obviously had insufficient range and could not reach the Ming army's cannons.

But as an old gunner, he has a good understanding of the tricks of artillerymen.

Looking at the lack of range of the artillery, he thought it was because the gunners were afraid of exploding, so they minimized the amount of charge when charging.

Deng Yuan wandered around the several gun crews and supervised that the gunners had loaded [-]% of the ammunition, and then stuffed shells into the gun bores and ignited them.

boom!Boom!

There was a violent shelling sound.

Before the Qing army's artillery had time to fire, another round of shelling from the Ming army came.

As the shells flew across the sky, another large number of gunners from the Qing army were swept away for reimbursement!

Around the entire artillery formation, there are broken corpses and internal blood everywhere...

The smell of blood is mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke, and the stench is unpleasant!

The Qing army's artillery fired back again, and the shells flew towards the Ming army's artillery formation.

However, what happened next was completely different from what Deng Yuan imagined.

The shell still ran out of kinetic energy and landed halfway, and was easily blocked by the artillery slope built by the Ming army in advance.

Just now he personally supervised the gunners to reload, and he can be sure that the range of the Qing army's artillery is not enough, not because the gunners are playing tricks.

Now... the problem is serious!

Deng Yuan's face was extremely solemn. This was the first time in his life that he encountered the situation that the power and range of the red cannon were insufficient.

As the saying goes, no decision is made when things happen, cannons in red!
After so many years, Deng Yuan personally manipulated the red cannons and gnawed down fortified cities and fortresses for the Qing Dynasty. He fought bloody battles and was always invincible.

He has long been full of confidence in the red cannon.

Now, he suddenly discovered that the red-clothed cannon was no longer working!

After a burst of panic and confusion, what followed was a confusion similar to the collapse of faith!

"Quick, report to the prince!"

"The Ming thief's cannon is abnormal, my red cannon in the Qing Dynasty can't reach the Ming thief's artillery formation!"

It can only be said that the range and accuracy of rifled guns are completely different from smoothbore guns.

The roar on the battlefield continues!

The artillery power that the Qing army used to be proud of is now being beaten unilaterally.

Shang Kexi received the news reported by Deng Yuan, and his face became quite ugly.

But more is still at a loss!
The artillery is out of reach!

This very serious problem was clearly placed in front of his eyes.

After thinking about it, Shang Kexi ordered.

"Mobilize some poor horses from the supply camp, then pull the artillery forward, and shoot in!"

This is the only way Shang Kexi can come up with now!
Since the range is not enough, try to reduce the distance between the enemy and us as much as possible!

Just push the cannon forward!
Deng Yuan received the order, began to direct the manpower, and pushed the gun carriage forward.

As the artillery positions of the Qing army began to move, the shooting accuracy of the Ming army's artillery group dropped significantly.

Because the artillery of the Qing army moved, the gunners of the Ming army could not aim accurately. They could only predict the trajectory of the artillery of the Qing army, and then preset the shooting of Zhu Yuan in advance.

Therefore, the accuracy of shelling is rapidly reduced!
The artillerymen on both sides exchanged fire fiercely, and the sound of cannons resounded on the battlefield!

……

The infantry on both sides also began to keep closing the distance.

The infantry of the Ming army lined up and continued to advance towards the formation of the Qing army, and the sound of shooting never stopped along the way.

The guns crackled, and the battlefield was full of gunpowder smoke!
Before the two sides formally engaged in battle, the Qing army suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties.

If it weren't for the Eight Banners cavalry behind the formation, the Green Battalion fighting ahead would have been destroyed long ago!
The Ming army stopped [-] meters in front of the Qing army's formation, and fired crackling rifles with miniature bullets to inflict damage on the Qing army.

This distance is just outside the range of the Qing army's armor-piercing arrows!

The light arrow thrown may be able to hit it, but the damage of the light arrow to the Ming army is limited, so it is not worth being afraid of.

Seeing this scene, the Qing army had no choice but to take the initiative to attack in order not to be beaten unilaterally.

One by one, the green battalion soldiers shouted and rushed up!
"kill!"

"Kill the Ming thief, and the Qing Dynasty will win!"
