I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 166 Firepower Supremacy Carpet Bombing

Chapter 165

"It's really hard to fight, but..."

Sun Chengzong did not rush to ask Cheng Shijie what was wrong.

Cheng Shijie pondered: "However, victory must belong to us."

Sun Chengzong shook his head: "Don't be careless!"

"teacher!"

Cheng Shijie pointed to the direction of Ning Haijun's artillery unit, and said with a smile: "After the invention of the God of War, the barbaric force of the nomads will be useless."

"Be careful of Huang Taiji, this person is full of bad food, you should be more careful!"

"Teacher, don't worry, Huang Taiji's trick is useless to me!"

Sun Chengzong felt that Cheng Shijie's self-confidence was too strong. Of course, this was not a bad thing, because what Daming lacked was Cheng Shijie's self-confidence.

Cheng Shijie and Sun Chengzong didn't stay on the roof terrace of the RV for too long, after all it was too cold up there.

Return to the Central Command of the Ning Navy.

Luo Shi, who was dressed in men's clothes, hurriedly brought the tea soup to the table.

Sun Chengzong glanced at Luo Shi, and after just one glance, his brows frowned slightly.

Cheng Shijie didn't know what the conflict between Luo Shi and Sun Zhichen was. Anyway, watching Sun Chengzong come over, Luo Shijie did not show less courtesy in front of Cheng Shijie.

Of course, Luo thought that Sun Chengzong would be furious.

However, the Luo family's structure is too small. Sun Chengzong didn't mention why Luo family appeared beside Cheng Shijie, and he didn't even ask Sun Zhichen, as if he didn't see Luo family.

After the power was turned on, Cheng Shijie took the wireless microphone and once again climbed on the terrace of the horse-drawn car of the Central Army Command.

Cheng Shijie looked at the formation of Ning Haijun's soldiers. From the left-wing corps and forward corps, Ning Haijun's soldiers were all formed with spears like a forest and swords like a wall. As for the military capacity of the Dongjiang Army of the right-wing corps, the difference between Ning Haijun and Ning Haijun was not 01:30.

Cheng Shijie looked at his troops, and felt a sense of pride in his heart. This is the army he pulled out with all his efforts!This is the army he has fed with strict military discipline, cruel training and generous treatment!Maybe they have been in the army for a short time, and they are not yet capable of defeating too powerful enemies, but they will not be afraid of any enemies!
"I'm Cheng Shijie!"

As the sound of these five words sounded like thunder, all the officers and men looked in the direction of the Chinese army. Ordinary soldiers might not have a chance, but officers at the rank of sentinel commanders and general officers all had binoculars produced in southern Liaoning. Generals at the level of Bazong and Qianzong can have binoculars from later generations.

As Cheng Shijie's voice sounded, more than [-] soldiers held their breath, and needles could be heard on the entire battlefield.

"Last winter, the commander-in-chief led the officers and men of the Ning Navy and their families to southern Liaoning. What did the southern Liaoning look like when we came? You should still have an impression. It can be described in eight words, thousands of miles away, bones exposed wild."

Cheng Shijie continued: "This commander organized the army and civilians to brave the severe cold, dig nests, dig ditches, build cities, and reclaim wasteland. In April and May, we also encountered a rare drought in southern Liaoning, and there was no rain for two months. After a heavy rain, fortunately, all over the country are actively digging irrigation wells and repairing canals, and the irrigation of farmland has been strongly guaranteed, coupled with sufficient fertilizers, so we have a bumper harvest instead!"

To improve morale before the war, Sun Chengzong thought that Cheng Shijie would say something inspiring, but instead he talked about it like a daily routine.

"This year, we in southern Liaoning have harvested a total of 720 million shi of wheat, 52 million catties of cotton, 280 million tons of sweet potatoes, 280 million tons of potatoes, 15 shi of rapeseed, and [-] shi of sugar beets..."

After Cheng Shijie reported a number, the soldiers below were very excited. There is no doubt that Liaonan had a bumper harvest, but no one knew how much grain Liaonan had harvested.But I dare not imagine that the harvest will be so huge!So much food is enough to feed the whole Nanyang for several years!Farmers in ancient times worked very hard. They often had to harvest three consecutive years before they could save a year's surplus of grain. Once floods, droughts, locusts, and hailstorms caused a large reduction in grain production, famine would occur.Now that they have heard that so much food has been harvested, can they be unhappy?
In fact, the newly reclaimed land in southern Liaoning totals 520 million mu, and there are still more than 79 mu of private land. Of course, most of the private land has not been reclaimed. After all, there are too few thieves like Chen Dayong's father.

Cheng Shijie continued: "You also know that many people have migrated from the pass this year, a total of more than 67 people, and now we have officially exceeded 100 million people in southern Liaoning. I originally planned to reclaim an additional 900 million mu next year. The field, let you, your family members, all be able to live comfortably, even if you are killed or injured in battle, your children can live a prosperous life by relying on this inheritance. But..."

Cheng Shijie's voice raised an octave: "But Jiannu is here. They didn't come to make friends with us. They came with knives and guns. They wanted to take away the fields we had worked so hard to cultivate. They wanted to take away our hard-earned land. Harvest the food and take away your sisters, wives and daughters!"

At Cheng Shijie's words, the soldiers of the Ning Navy and the Dongjiang Army suddenly became heavy breathing, and red light burst out of their eyes.Originally, when Jiannu came to kill them, they were already humiliated enough, but now they heard that Jiannu came to rob them of their fields, food, wives and children, and they were jealous.

The Han people are a very modest and introverted nation, but this nation has a bottom line, which can also be said to be an unspoken rule. They can tolerate a little anger, beatings, and losses at ordinary times, but there are three things that are the bottom line. For example, it is the wife, children and Tian Dibianzi.

Jiannu came over to grab their food, wives and children, how could this be tolerated?Absolutely intolerable!
In southern Liaoning, 80.00% of the land is collectively owned, that is, it belongs to the military group of the Ninghai Navy. However, 13.00% of the land is privately owned. Assigned to the military job field, there are also most of the military merit fields.

Under such circumstances, Ning's navy officers and men will definitely not retreat. They have just had enough food for a few days?Want to go back to the past?

Especially those who have been starved would rather die than be starved again.

Cheng Shijie roared angrily: "Say, what should we do!?"

The soldiers of the Ning Navy took the lead in raising their arms and roaring like thunder: "Kill them all!!!"

"In order to develop southern Liaoning, this commander has ruined his own fortune. In this battle, this commander will not take a step back!"

Ning Haijun's face was flushed, and he roared out of his lungs: "I will never retreat!!!"

"Actually, you don't have to be afraid of them becoming slaves, and don't be intimidated by their false reputation! Our armor is stronger than theirs, our swords and guns are sharper than theirs, and behind us, there are countless people who are fully supporting us." We look forward to the news of victory!"

Cheng Shijie slowly walked down the terrace of the RV, riding a tall black horse: "Soldiers, you follow my battle flag, I will charge ahead, and lead you to press them to the bottom, break them, annihilate them, smash them They, until they broke the army and killed the generals, until their corpses covered the battlefield..."

At this moment, the angry Huang Taiji ordered the artillery to be fired.

The artillery units of the Han army under the command of Bao Chengxian and Sun Youguang began to fire. Hundreds of artillery pieces roared, and as the smoke gushed out, more than 100 solid artillery shells came through the air, fell into the Ninghai phalanx, and smashed out one after another. Coming to Blood Alley, the nearest shot landed less than 30 meters away from Cheng Shijie, splashing a cloud of mud and scaring Sun Chengzong into a cold sweat.

If Cheng Shijie was accidentally shot, then there would be no need to fight this battle, and Jiannu would definitely win.

However, Cheng Shijie was unmoved. He deliberately used his own method to boost morale. Morale is bound to plummet.

Cheng Shijie turned off the microphone and turned on the walkie-talkie: "Yuan Shiliang, have you found their artillery positions?"

"Report to Commander, three places have been found!"

"Very well, fire and blow their artillery to pieces!"

At this time, Yuan Shiliang was not commanding nearly 280 French machine artillery pieces, but only 24 three-inch guns with a diameter of 24 times. The intention is to promote the Ming system to the whole world.

Instead of adopting the British system or the Spanish system, in this era, the empire on which the sun never sets in the world is not Great Britain, but the Spanish Empire. It was not until the fall of the Dutch sea grooms that it was Great Britain's turn to become the world hegemon.

Following Cheng Shijie's order, in front of the artillery position, the artillery chief, that is, Yuan Shiliang, who enjoys the treatment of President Qian, held a walkie-talkie in his right hand and a telescope on his chest. He raised his right fist, drew a semicircle, and then slammed towards With the first wave, the 24 artillerymen pulled the matchlock in unison.

The breech breech struck heavily on the primer of the shell, detonating the red phosphorus, which in turn detonated the gunwool as the explosive. There was only a thunderous roar, and the howling sound of the shell tearing the air was like tearing silk, which made the hair stand on end. , During the eruption of flames, 21 shells roared and smashed towards the Jiannu phalanx at the rear. The momentum was more than ten times fiercer than the volley of the Jiannu artillery just now!
This is the function of Ning Haijun's system. When the fire blunderbuss is designed to emit incoming fire, this design concept is moved to the Thunderbolt blunderbuss, and from the Thunderbolt blunderbuss to the artillery.

Of course, the primer of red phosphorus as a combustion aid is a bit poor. Three of the cannons did not fire, but the impact was not great. You only need to remove the primer part of the shells and install new red phosphorus to continue firing.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

This is the first time that the shells have been in battle. The moment the shells hit the ground, both sides saw a bloody scene that they had never seen before. Large groups of orange fireballs rolled from the middle of Jiannu's artillery positions. , The Jiannu artillery was thrown high like leaves, and the broken limbs and arms rained down, hitting the living people with a puffing sound.

The hot, sharp shrapnel radiated to the surrounding layers layer by layer, easily shooting through the armor of the Jiannu soldiers, tearing their bodies apart, and letting internal organs and dirty blood pour out from the horrible wounds like mudslides out!Every time a shell fell, there were a lot of casualties, like a slaughterhouse.

Especially the three-inch 94mm shells, each weighing [-] catties, of which the charge is four and a half catties. This is not black powder, but more powerful nitrocellulose.

In terms of explosive power, nitrocellulose is even more powerful than TNT, but this thing is not easy to preserve. If you let the gunpowder experts of Ning Haijun find out by yourself, God knows how long it will take. Cheng Shijie searched for the passivator of nitrocellulose on Baidu. , which is the most common ether.

In this way, nitrocellulose can actually be called smokeless gunpowder. Four and a half catties of smokeless gunpowder can explode with great power. Row.

In the era of cold weapons, most of them are arranged in a dense formation, so the killing effect is better. If you are lucky, it is not a problem to kill a platoon.

Whether it was Jiannu or the generals of the Ning Navy, including Sun Chengzong himself, they were all stunned by the power of this three-inch gun.

Cheng Shijie smiled proudly: "Compared to my cannon, what kind of red cannon, what kind of tiger squatting cannon, and what kind of French machine are nothing? This is the real god of war!"

Sun Chengzong somewhat understood Cheng Shijie's confidence. This new type of gunpowder not only does not directly ignite the fuze with an open flame, but just pulls the rope, especially without cleaning the barrel. Just hit the bolt and fire straight away.

Standing too high, Huang Taiji could see it very clearly. In just one round of shelling, nearly one-third of the cannons he managed to get were misfired.

Especially when a shell hit the Jiannu cavalry formation, 25 people were killed and 13 others were injured.

Hauge cried out, "What kind of cannon is this? Why have you never seen Mingjun use it?"

Mang Gurtai looked at Yue Tuo: "Does it look like a flying thunder cannon?"

Yue Tuo shook his head and said: "This is definitely not a flying thunder cannon! The flying thunder cannon can't hit so far!"

Ning Haijun's flying thunder cannon was used in conjunction with the barbed wire defense battle. Many people in Jiannu have seen this kind of artillery that scares people to death. Once fired, it will absolutely shake the mountains. The range of the guns is too short, as long as they are farther away from the barbed wire fence of the Ming army, they will not pose any threat.

"Order the artillery, destroy the artillery of the Ming army!"

"Yes!"

It's a pity that while Jiannu's artillery was still nervously clearing the barrel, smoke and flames rose from Ning Haijun's artillery position, and the second round of salvo began.

This time there was no misfiring, and all 24 artillery shells were successfully fired. At this time, Jiannu's artillery had just cleaned the barrels of the guns, and there were still several artillery shells that had not been cleaned.

Huang Taiji lost his voice: "Ming army artillery, this rate of fire..."

Huang Taiji's words were drowned out by the sound of the Ning Navy's artillery. After the second row of shells fell, several pieces of no-man's land were opened in Houjin's infantry phalanx, and everyone within the killing radius became broken. corpses or wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs.

Soldiers in this era don't even know the common sense of lying down to avoid shelling. They just stand upright and naturally become the best targets, which makes the shelling effect of the Ming army very good. Any shot past will cause a lot of casualties. .

The rain of blood splattered, the pieces of flesh and limbs flying all over the sky, the wounded soldiers who had been blown to pieces and fell into a pool of blood, howling, all of these were frightening. Only two rounds of volleys were fired, and Jiannu's artillery was almost abolished. No, there is no way, the power of the three-inch cannon is actually far less powerful than what Huang Taiji saw, but the key is that the gunpowder barrels on the Jiannu artillery position were detonated one after another...

Although the artillery did not attack Jiannu's infantry and cavalry phalanx, they became confused when they saw Ning Haijun's artillery. Shock and fear swept across the battlefield, making their hands and feet cold, facing the fangs of the war. God, no one can not be afraid!

As the saying goes, the enemy's arsenic is my honey.

In the eyes of the Ming army, this extremely bloody scene is simply enjoyment.

Sun Chengzong watched without blinking through the binoculars, watched the artillery shells whizzing out, and saw the Jiannu army flying in flesh and blood, and murmured: "No wonder Beiping dared to fight Jiannu, so he has such a sharp weapon in his hand! "

Zu Dabi, who was standing in front of the outermost cavalry formation of the Guanning Army, and Zu Dale looked at each other.

"Second brother, if you don't go, I'll go, even if I lose my face, we still have to buy some of this kind of artillery!"

Zu Dabi will never forget that on the banks of the Daling River, the elite of the ancestral family army was surrounded by Jiannu, starved to death, dizzy, and then overwhelmed by the Jiannu cavalry rushing in like a tide.

Of the nearly [-] officers who died in the Battle of Daling River, there were eight or nine thousand direct descendants of the ancestral army, including his nephew and younger brother.

"Cheng Shuai, the last general..."

Zu Dabi's gaze never left Ning Haijun's artillery: "The last general..."

Cheng Shijie smiled and said, "You want to buy my artillery?"

"Such a powerful weapon for the country, who wouldn't want to buy it!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said, "It's a bit expensive, as you can see, I only cast 24 doors myself!"

"How much is it?"

Cheng Shijie couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, listen to me, this gun is not successful, first of all, the barrel, only more than 100 rounds are used, after a battle, it's time to change the barrel, and this gun is the last The most expensive part is the barrel!"

The more Cheng Shijie said this, the more anxious Zu Dabi became: "How much is it!"

"It takes seven to eighty thousand taels of silver for one door!"

In fact, Cheng Shijie didn't want to sell the artillery to Guan Ningjun, so he directly increased the cost price by more than 30 times and reported it to Zu Dabi. In fact, this one, including two spare barrels and fifty shells, the total ex-factory price is Two thousand five hundred taels of silver.

"That's 8 taels of silver per door, and our Guan Ning Army wants [-] doors!"

Zu Dabi knew very well that the army was the foundation of his family. In fact, as early as spring, when Zu Dashou redeemed more than [-] captives from Cheng Shijie, he began to copy Cheng Shijie's homework.

Of course, Zu Dashou just redistributed the army land he had annexed to his own soldiers, and each of them only had [-] acres. Ordinary soldiers of the Guan Ning Army did not have any land. The control power has also been significantly enhanced.

Zu Dabi can't actually be Zu Dashou's master, but he knows very well that if he doesn't buy this kind of artillery, Zu Dashou will kick him to death when he goes back.

Huang Long saw that Zu Dabi wanted to buy Cheng Shijie's artillery, and he also wanted to buy it, but unfortunately, he had no money in his hand, and no daughter to give Cheng Shijie as his concubine.

Although the heart is moved, but can't act, can only be anxious.

Huang Taiji no longer cared about studying why Ning Haijun's artillery suddenly possessed such terrifying lethality. He only knew that the artillery fire of Ning Haijun's artillery must be suppressed, otherwise the battle would be impossible!
Huang Taiji yelled at Chong's messenger: "Hurry up and pass on Ben Khan's order to let Bao Chengxian and Sun Youguang's artillery fire at the Ming army's artillery, if they miss again..."

While talking, a continuous and sharp cannon sound came again. Ning Haijun's artillery began the third round of shelling. Suddenly, a large cloud of white smoke rose from the artillery positions of the Ming army, and 24 shells shot at Jiannu's artillery positions. It smashed over and over.

These shells made Huang Taiji feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his hair stood on end: "The artillery is over!"

Just as Huang Taiji guessed, when the Jiannu artillerymen saw Ning Haijun’s artillery shells coming, they threw down the cannons and ran away with a scream. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the explosive shells fell from the sky. Then there was a thunderous explosion, and many Jiannu gunners were thrown into the air together with their cannons!

"Yueto!"

"The slave is here!"

Huang Taiji pointed at Ning Haijun's artillery position, his hands began to tremble a little: "Take the Ming army's artillery position, no, definitely can't let the Ming army's artillery fire a single shell!"

In fact, Yue Tuo also understands that the situation in the Dajin Kingdom is very bad now. If the artillery positions of the Ming army cannot be eliminated, there is no way to fight this battle. The cannon fodder of the Han army.

But the problem was that he could clearly feel that the Jurchen warriors were afraid of the artillery of the Ming army, and he knew it when he looked at the Jurchen warriors around him with their faces pale in fright. They were about to go crazy with fright.

"The slave leads the order!"

Huang Taiji didn't know that this was actually a big gift from Cheng Shijie.

No matter what tactics they used to defeat Huang Taiji or Jiannu, Jiannu would not be convinced, just like Azig's defeat in Jinshishan, they would not be convinced.

In the face of absolute strength, all strategies, strategies and tactics, and conspiracies and tricks are all scum, and firepower comes first and complete suppression is the kingly way.

Cheng Shijie's principle is actually the principle of later generations of flower growers. If you are poor, you will go round and round, and if you are rich, you will be carpet bombed.The current new type of rear-loading smoothbore gun is very expensive to spend, and every shell is a BMW.

Not everyone can afford the full 20 taels of silver.

However, as Cheng Shijie's pockets bulged, he could afford to play now, even if it was 20 taels of silver for each shell, he could use the shells to bury Jian Nu.

The flower grower in the later generations just likes to play with firepower first, and the majestic ghost and animal style of play is his favorite. If you can't be beaten to death, you will be scared to death!
