Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 108 Niming really has gods to help!

Ganzhou City Head.

Agui, Fukang'an, and Eredengbao are three Manchurian officials in Ganzhou City.

At this time, he was also bowed, lying on the battlements, holding up the binoculars to watch the artillery of the Ming army rumbling out.

After the "demon ball" of the Ming army rose into the air.

The Ming army pulled out several giant cannons.

A very tall and strong draft horse was used.

It looked like the shelling was about to start.

And before that.

In front of the soldiers of the Ganzhou garrison, Agui spilled the blood of the black dog on the city.

Let the defenders of Ganzhou feel at ease.

Now they began to worry about the defenders of the Golden Castle.

"The Golden Fort was originally a pure military fort. Where can I find the blood of the black dog?"

"What should I do? I can't withdraw even if I withdraw."

"What can I do, carry it hard, and then again, this God may not be on their side of the Ming Dynasty."

"That's right, that's right, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Li Zicheng, and God has already avenged them. Li Zicheng died without a place to bury him!"

"That's right, this grievance has a head and a debt, and you Daming and Li Zicheng have a big enmity."

A group of Eight Banners men were also lying on the battlements, looking at the two hot air balloons in midair.

It's really scary.

Ah Gui said it was a monster.

The masters of the Eight Banners themselves are a little bit unconvinced.

Would God help Da Ming or Da Qing?

The Eight Banners masters are not strong enough in their belief and self-confidence now.

After all, we are Tartars.

You wicked Tartar.

How could God help us?
But this cannot be said.

Who says who dies.

So everyone tacitly mentioned the matter of God.

Anyway, the blood of the black dog was used.

Whether it is useful or not is a matter for your gods.

Fighting between gods does not harm mortals.

This is the rule.

speak up.

Agui's set of operations really worked.

Everyone's morale has also stabilized.

On the one hand, the city of Ganzhou is high and deep, and on the other hand, it has sufficient supplies.

Why can't you keep it?

"Who is the guard of this Golden Fort?"

Zhu Daohua frowned and asked.

"It's Zhu Shedou, I heard he's a fierce general!"

Tao Biquan said.

"It's no wonder, Ah Gui sent a Chinese military officer from the green battalion to guard the Golden Fort. Zhu Shedou seems to have two tricks."

Zhu Daohua said regretfully.

Two more brushes were useless.

Now the battlefield is unilaterally transparent to the Ming army.

Plus there are powerful new shells.

This golden castle cannot be justified unless it is destroyed in a single battle.

Gunner Liu Dazhu whistled, commanding the artillerymen of his own artillery crew to untie the tow ropes hanging on the horses, and then slowly turned their heads under the pressure of the shells, and the black muzzle pointed obliquely at the Golden Fort.

"Stabilize the gun base!"

Liu Dakuang ordered loudly.

soon.

The six-man artillery crew was divided into three teams.

In groups of two.

Liu Dakuang and his deputy are in charge of the fixed support between the two wheels.

Pulling down the fixed support, he smashed the three-foot-long steel nail into the ground with all his strength, and firmly fixed the gun support on the ground.

Then two sandbags were brought in to compact the cannon brace.

at the same time.

The other two groups of gunners dug two small pits, pressed the two support feet extending from the cannon to the sides into the pits, fixed them with steel nails, rammed soil, and pressed sandbags.

As such.

A stable artillery position is considered complete.

It was almost finished with Liu Dakuang's artillery group, and there were seven other artillery groups.

There were only eight such artillery pieces in the Ming army, and all of them were pulled to the ground.

Next is.
Liu Dakuang looked in the direction of the hot air balloon.

"Aim at the future direction!"

Liu Dakuang said loudly.

Then a gunner turns the mechanical dial to turn the direction of the gun to the corresponding scale.

"Elevation angle of 1 degrees, level [-] propellant, test fire a round, reload!"

Three gunners opened the shell boxes.

The shells, propellant, and primer were taken out respectively.

A gunner opened the breech fire door.

The primer was plugged in first.

This is an activation device similar to a cap gun, and the firing pin is used to ignite the gunpowder of the primer.

The propellant is wrapped in silk to form a cylinder, which can just fit along the muzzle and is tightly plugged with a stabbing strip. The needles of the primer pierce the silk wrapping to ensure that the propellant can be ignited smoothly after the primer is activated.

Next came the shells.

It is a one-piece punched conical shell.

One end is pointed and the other is wide.

There is also a brass tube in the shape of a bell at the wider end of the steel shell.

Copper tubing is softer than steel.

Since the Ming army is still using front-loading guns, no rear-loading guns have been developed yet.

Therefore, in order to smoothly insert the shells from the muzzle, and at the same time allow the shells to engage the rifling smoothly after being excited-yes, this is a rifled gun.

It can only make such a compromise design.

After the propellant is ignited, the bell mouth will be expanded to achieve the effect of high-speed rotation and stable trajectory of the shell after engaging the rifling.

And this cannonball actually has a mechanical fuze-a simple conical mechanical device installed at the top of the cannonball.

After the safety is pulled out, the centrifugal force generated by the violent rotation activates the spring striker.

Ignite the wooden tube rotating fuze.

The safety and reliability of this mechanical fuze are much more reliable than the previous wood-pipe plug-in fuze.

It can be said.

This is the crystallization of the military technology of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the highest-tech front-loading rifled gun in the world.

Considering that you only need to conquer the technology tree of the rear-mounted gun.

This front-loading rifled gun is about to be eliminated.

Therefore, the quantity produced is not much.

Only eight were produced—and they were all produced in time for the Jiangxi battle.

Otherwise, according to Zhu Daohua's meaning.

At least this kind of artillery can only be considered mature after overcoming the technology of breech-loading guns.

Ironclad with breech-loading rifled guns.

This is the era of battleships that completely revived the "big gun ship".

"Report! Loading complete!"

"fire!"

"Yes!"

"fire!"

"fire!"

Every tactical action must be repeated loudly.

This is the regulation of the Ming military drill code.

Pull the cord with all your might.

The firing pin activates the primer.

The propellant detonated.

The violent explosion propelled the shells.

Rotating violently in the direction of the rifling.

Accompanied by a tongue of flame from the muzzle.

With a bang, the surrounding air trembled.

Both the gun barrel and the ground shook suddenly,
next moment.

Gunpowder smoke and dust rose.

But at the head of the Golden Fort, Zhu Shedou only heard a loud noise, and a black dot drew a parabola in the air, and then headed towards the direction where the weapon pills were stored in the Golden Fort.

"fine."

After seeing where the shells fell.

Zhu Shedou breathed a sigh of relief just now.

boom! !

An explosion hundreds of times louder than thunder suddenly sounded, and an earthquake occurred in the entire Golden Fort.

Zhu Shedou shook suddenly.

I just felt a black shadow passing over my head.

I haven't waited for him to respond.

A Ghoshha beside him suddenly fell backwards.

He turned his head to look.

His chest was smashed into pieces by something.

Zhu Shedou was not lucky.

He turned his head and looked into the Golden Fort.

The violent explosion made people around several feet idle, and the human body seemed to be blown by the wind. The leaves were floating, and then it seemed to have encountered a tornado and was torn to pieces by a huge force!

And on a larger scale.

Many soldiers were hit by fragments of the bomb.

Some are lucky.

Hit in the head or chest.

He died directly.

And some are concentrated on the arms and calves.

But he was watching his shattered and broken bones howling, slowly dying in pain and fear.

Zhu Shedou's ears were ringing.

He couldn't hear any sound.

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The scene in front of him completely overturned all his cognition.

in this world.
How could there be such a powerful weapon?
How could it not be?
This is a ball filled with 10 catties of yellow gunpowder.

That's about the same as the modern metric 7kg.

Although the Ming army also had flower bombs before.

But because it is wooden support, cast iron.

On the one hand, in order to resist the chamber pressure.

Don't dare to use too much propellant.

The resulting range is not too far.

Second.

It is because the wooden support and cast iron occupy too much volume.

Lead to insufficient charge.

Therefore, the explosion power is not great.

And now this shell.

It adopts a one-piece die-cast steel shell.

Shell casings are thinner.

While the amount of charge is larger.

There are also more propellants that can withstand.

Plus it has rifling.

Longer range.

The trajectory is also more stable! !

The technical reserve of this newly developed artillery.

If the technology for rear-loading guns can be developed again.

Then, on this basis, it is possible to develop a shell with a larger diameter, a larger charge, and of course a longer range.

Of course.

Now on land.

3 inches is more than enough.

but.

If it is on a battleship.

The three-inch/100mm size can only be regarded as a small water pipe at best.

On those steel behemoths.

Cannons with a caliber of two to three hundred millimeters at every turn.

Everywhere.

One shot past.

Liu Dazhu looked towards the sky.

on the sky.

Flags convey information.

"The azimuth is deflected by 1 degree, and the muzzle angle is reduced by 5 degrees!"

"Eight cannons with unified parameters!"

"Salvoe ready!"

"preparation!"

"put!!"

Boom boom boom!
The artillery group composed of eight three-inch guns shook suddenly.

The flames poured out.

Thunderous gunfire and white smoke.

composed a fatal symphony of death.

The artillery shells rushed over the city wall, and launched a cover bombing towards the suspected ammunition storage place!

"not good!"

Zhu Shedou turned pale with shock.

next moment.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The explosion of the shells bloomed flowers of death on the ground.

Maybe not long.

A dull explosion sounded.

the next moment.

On the ground of the entire Golden Fort.

The gunpowder thrown into the air detonated.

And then explode.

Produced even more terrifying explosion energy.

Zhu Shedou, who was standing on the city wall, snorted.

Then it was lifted by a huge shock wave.
The entire Golden Fort was engulfed in flames
This is not surprising.

Because the Golden Fort is just a fortress with a radius of only 50 meters.

There are more than 700 catties of well-made black powder stored in this fortress.

The black powder was thrown into the air by the bomb, causing a terrible deflagration.

The Qing army in Ganzhou City, and the Ming army stationed more than 800 steps away from the Golden Fort.

I only saw a group of sparks rising from this fort covering the entire fort.
"It's over."

"Niming really has gods to help!"

Many soldiers and generals of the Qing army who witnessed this incident.

In my mind, I couldn't help but think of the previous fairy fight.

Suddenly
Like falling into an ice cave.
