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

Chapter 299 Crazy output of cannons to wash the ground

On the front line of the Hunhe River in Liaoyang, in the Ning Navy camp, Ning Navy generals and soldiers were discussing the good news of Xingu’s high yield, and the fire ox carts in Liaodong, who married a wife and whose daughter-in-law was fierce. Whose daughter-in-law is virtuous and wise, and she doesn't feel the slightest sense of tension when the war is coming.

When Cheng Shijie arrived at the front line, he saw that the officers and men of Ning Haijun were very easy to talk to their parents, without the slightest sense of frustration of being frustrated in the attack.

Cheng Shijie was very satisfied with the performance of Ning's navy officers and men. The lion should be relaxed before jumping on its prey.

In front of an artillery position, except for a few sentries, most of the soldiers were sitting in the artillery hole, listening to what a young soldier was talking about.

When Cheng Shijie arrived, a member of the team recognized Cheng Shijie and hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Master!"

Cheng Shijie waved his hand, asked him to sit down, looked at the soldiers with a smile and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Dui Zheng said: "Xiao Wang, you are telling us the story of Lord Yue."

Cheng Shijie said indifferently: "Yue Wangye...that is a very remarkable man, he has brought out a disciplined iron army that can face the Jin Kingdom's iron cavalry head-on on the North China Great Plains without losing the wind. Although he He is dead, but his loyalty, his ambition to beat the enemy back to his hometown, can be described as eternal."

Zhong Ning said: "So we have to learn from Lord Yue!"

"Yes, I want to learn from Lord Yue and beat back all the enemies who dared to step into our homeland. The decisive battle with Jiannu is about to happen, are you nervous?"

Cheng Shijie looked at these immature faces. The speed of Ning Haijun's military expansion is actually very fast. Four years ago, Ning Haijun had less than 1 people, three years ago there were more than 4 people, and two years ago it was close to 10 people. There are more than 30 horses.

The team was patted on the gun on the back: "Nervous bird! With such a good gun and such sufficient ammunition, building a slave is nothing!"

Now the Ning Navy’s equipment has changed. In the original Ning Navy’s infantry, crossbowmen and shooters accounted for two-thirds of the proportion. Although the number of Ning Navy’s crossbows is still about 20.00%, most of these equipment are concentrated in the reconnaissance troops. In the hands of the firecracker, the crossbow machine has a greater advantage than the firecracker when touching the whistle or assassinating.

The firecrackers currently equipped by the Ning Navy are actually transitional products, so there is no large-scale equipment. This kind of firecrackers is flintlock with a caliber of four quarters, which is about [-] millimeters.

For muskets, the caliber between [-] and [-] mm is ideal. If it is smaller than this caliber, the lethality will be greatly weakened. If it is larger than this caliber, the musket will become deadly and heavy, and it must be mounted on a bracket to fire. .

After repeated experiments by the Ning Naval Gun Bureau, the caliber was uniformly set at [-]mm, which is [-]mm, which is just right for this bullet.

The difference from ordinary firecrackers is that the bullets of ordinary firecrackers are round, but this kind of bullet is cylindrical, with a pointed front and a concave back, and several layers of nitrocellulose are wrapped in the middle, which is very peculiar.

In particular, there are four rifling lines in the barrel, and the shooting range is much farther than that of ordinary firecrackers. It can break through double-layer iron armor within [-] steps, and can break through the three-layer iron armor of Jiannu Baijia soldiers within [-] steps. Even Jiannu's most elite white-armored soldiers are defenseless in front of Ning Haijun's gunfire.

The rate of fire of this kind of firecracker is also faster than that of ordinary firecrackers. It can even catch up with the bolt-action rifles of later generations, reaching [-] to [-] rounds per minute, and its performance is very reliable. Soldiers who tried it said that Works great, has great firepower, and doesn't have a lot of recoil.

In this war, Ning Haijun is actually participating in this new type of firecracker. The ammunition is open and supplied. Each musketeer has sixty rounds of bullets in his bullet bag. This is standard.

It is useless to have more, because after a battle, it is already very remarkable for the crossbow machine to be able to shoot thirty arrows.

Of course, Ning Haijun’s gun bureau not only launched this new type of firecracker, but also improved the Thunderbolt. It has become a six-pack, and the ammunition supply method is also the left-wheel type, which is more portable in this way.

Each team now has six flintlocks, plus a sextuple, a pair of two shooters, plus two revolvers, and is also equipped with two shields, and two long guns, which serve as covering units.

With such a firepower configuration, Ning Haijun's close combat is still very bad. Of course, Cheng Shijie is not equipped with a bayonet, because even if it is equipped with a bayonet, the length of the flintlock with the bayonet is just over 1.8 meters. The bayonet stabbing is not a disadvantage, but the problem is that this is the last afterglow of cold weapons. There are a large number of spearmen in the founding slave army, and the spears generally exceed two and a half meters.

Cheng Shijie equips the officers and men of the Ning Navy with a revolver. The revolver has six bullets. If the bullets are exhausted, they can use an imitation [-]-style engineer shovel for close combat. The engineer shovel is [-] centimeters long and has an excellent steel mouth. The shovel head is triangular in shape and very sharp. If you hold it with both hands, the effect is the same as an axe. If you swing it to the shoulder, the whole arm will fall off. If you swing it to the leg, the leg will be broken in two. It is easy to use. very.

With such excellent weapons and equipment, and well fed and warm clothes, the morale of Ning's navy officers and soldiers is extremely high. They have never had the opportunity to fight Jiannu in the past, and now they can't wait to rush up and tear these Jiannu up!

Now that the decisive battle was finally coming, they relaxed instead, chatting about daily chores, driving around, talking dirty jokes, without the slightest sense of tension about the approaching war.

Cheng Shijie chatted with the soldiers for a while, and was deeply satisfied to see the soldiers so relaxed. He gave a few words of advice, and then came to the forefront.

The forward position is only about a hundred steps away from Jiannu. At this distance, countless sharpshooters and crossbowmen aim at the opposite side. As long as Jiannu dares to show his head, they will open fire freely.

Cheng Shijie looked at Jianu's line of defense and frowned slightly.

This kind of trench is actually quite disgusting, and it will make the side with the advantage of firepower unable to exert its firepower advantage. Although Jiannu's firepower counterattack is not as intensive as that of Ning Haijun, the problem is that most of them are superior archers. In the end, you don't need to show your head, you can use bows and arrows to lob and shoot, so that the attacking Ning navy soldiers will return home in defeat.

Everyone will learn in the war, if four years ago, when the artillery of the Ning Navy fired, the Jiannu would be very panicked, now they seem to be used to surviving under the artillery fire of the Ning Navy.

The Jiannu soldiers under Hu Erqi's command shouted at Jiannu with their iron horns: "Brothers, don't struggle, Da Ming is stronger than you think, you can't beat Da Ming, you will never win this war, smart If you want to surrender, surrender to Daming, let the past go, you can have enough food every day...you don't have to worry about the cold anymore!"

Although Cheng Shijie couldn't understand the Jurchen language, he knew that this was an attack on the mind. There were many such Jurchen soldiers in the Ning Navy Army, and they participated in the battle as soon as possible, and now they are acting as propaganda.

Hearing the Jurchen language in his ear, Yue Tuo felt his teeth itch with hatred.

In these slogans for establishing slaves, there is too much food in Liaodong, there is so much cotton in Liaodong that it can be piled up into mountains, and there is unlimited salt in Liaodong, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough food all year round.What else is there to follow Huang Taiji to rebel against Ming Dynasty? There will never be a way out. They will starve to death every day.

If Huang Taiji or the Aixinjueluo family can be tied up, Ning Haijun will be rewarded...

Yue Tuo looked at the slave-building warriors around him, and he was a little moved. He said angrily: "Fire, fire!"

Yue Tuo's artillery of the Han Army Banner received the order and immediately fired at the frontline Jurchen propaganda team members. A few shells flew over the trenches without causing any damage.

It can be said that the trench warfare caused the artillery bombardment of both sides to be earth-shattering, but the damage caused was very small. Jiannu fired dozens of shells, and only one shell landed in the trench of the Ning Navy.

Of course, Ning Haijun's artillery bombarded with more than ten times the advantage of fire, hundreds of shells hit the past, and only caused casualties of a dozen Jiannu. I am afraid that this round of shelling can kill hundreds or thousands of them.

"How about it?"

Cheng Shijie looked at the three steam engine-type bulldozers with rather weird shapes. These bulldozers were about the size of a fifteen-horsepower four-wheel tractor in the rural areas of later generations. There is no bottom.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, it should be possible!"

"Can such a small fire bulldozer flatten the trenches of Jiannu?"

A technician smiled honestly and said: "It is really possible, we have already tested it!"

"That is handsome, you have to take a good look at it!"

At this time, on the artillery position of the Ning Navy, the fire dragon came out of the water, that is, the rocket launcher was making final preparations, and more than 20 six-packed rocket launchers began to fire.Half of the sky turned red, and fire dragons soared into the sky, flying towards Jiannu's trench.

The screeching sound that makes one's scalp explode, the dazzling flames like meteors chasing the moon, let alone the killing effect, the sound and light effect alone makes people feel dizzy.

Some Jiannu soldiers ran away in fright. As the rockets fell to the ground and exploded, orange-red fireballs exploded on the Jiannu defense line. It was a pity that the killing effect of these rockets was very limited.

Jiannu also killed or injured dozens of people. Yue Tuo looked at the effect of the blow and felt very proud. If they had adopted this method in the Battle of Baliwan three years ago, how many fewer people would have died ?
As this round of rockets fell, the Franco cannons also opened fire. For a while, the artillery roared and the smoke filled the air. Under the cover of the artillery and rockets, three Huoxu bulldozers, roaring, slowly drove towards Jiannu's moat.

Seeing the Huoxu bulldozer getting closer and closer, Yue Tuo became anxious: "Shoot the arrow, let the arrow go!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Jiannu's archers shoot arrows at the Fire Bulldozer, and the arrows rain down like rain for a while, but when the arrows land on the Fire Bulldozer, they will slide to the ground. Thin-skinned coffins have little problem with penetration.

But the problem is that the fire ox carts of these eras have an obvious industrial style, especially the casing of the steam engine, which is all thick steel plates, and there is no possibility of shooting through them.

Some firecrackers of the Han army flag also fired, but the result was still the same, only a shallow mark was left on the Huoxu bulldozer.

Of course, the gunners and crossbowmen of Ning Haijun are not plain, they have been staring at Jiannu, as long as Jiannu shows his head, a row of bullets will fly over, screaming continuously, seventy or eighty Jiannu fire The gunner was shot in the face and fell down screaming.

Looking at this scene, Yue Tuo was at a loss.

The firing range of Ning Haijun's firecrackers is more than three times that of Jiannu's arquebus. Let Jiannu and Ning Haijun officers and soldiers shoot at each other, which is almost the same as forcing the musketeers to commit suicide.

Soon a fire cow bulldozer came to the first trench, and the bulldozer was operated to push a pile of soil into the trench, then the bulldozer retreated, and then it was the second bulldozer.

In Cheng Shijie's view, this bulldozer is almost like a big toy. It can only push one or two hundred catties of soil into the trench at a time, and it is pitifully slow.

But the problem is that this bulldozer filled the first trench at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yue Tuo commanded hastily: "Fire, use artillery!"

The artillerymen of the Han Army Banner looked as if they were constipated. Although the army's artillery is more accurate than the navy's naval artillery, the problem is that due to the low muzzle velocity of the shell, and the solid shell can only cause damage when it hits directly , and those fire bulldozers have been moving.

It is very difficult to hit such a target, not to mention them, even the artillery of the Ning Navy, if it does not fire explosive shells, it is very difficult to hit a moving target with ordinary live ammunition.

But Yuetuo's order had to be carried out. They just had to fire at the moving Huoxu bulldozer. However, when they fired, the artillerymen of the Ning Navy also discovered the coordinates of the Jiannu artillery position, and immediately attracted a wave of overwhelming fire. bombing.

The most terrible thing is that Jiannu's luck is too bad. When Ning Haijun's rocket launcher bombarded the Jiannu artillery position, a rocket shell was about to hit, and the rocket shell detonated Jiannu's gunpowder barrel.

Barrels of gunpowder barrels exploded ping-pong-pong, and the living and dead who could not escape in the future were thrown into the air together.Rao Jiannu's soldiers are all veterans who have survived many battles, and they can't help but change their colors in horror when they see the purgatory sea of ​​flames!
Facing the double attack of the Ning Navy's artillery and rocket launchers, the Jiannu soldiers had no choice but to get into the holes they dug out to see the anti-aircraft guns.

When Jiannu was hiding in the defense hole, three Huoxu bulldozers finally filled a ditch about a dozen paces wide. Although it was still more than three feet deep, the problem was that the three-foot-deep trench could no longer be stopped. Sailor Ning charged forward.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Ning Navy regarded the three Huoxu bulldozers as tanks. They followed the Huoxu bulldozers directly to the first parapet, and with the three Huoxu bulldozers, they pushed down a parapet.

Seeing the opening, before Jiannu could react, more than 300 Ning navy soldiers took out grenades, pulled the fuses, and threw more than [-] grenades towards the artillery holes and trenches in Jiannu's second trench. go.

Although more than 100 grenades were thrown away from the ditch, more than 200 grenades were still thrown into the second ditch of Jiannu.

When hundreds of Jiannu saw the grenades flying in the air, they were scared out of their wits. Then, when Jiannu had no time to react, more than 200 grenades exploded in the trenches of Jiannu, and more than 200 grenades exploded. The nitrocellulose is turned into light and heat.

The shrapnel of the grenade and the shock wave of the explosion spread with overwhelming force, sweeping across the entire trench.No one knew what happened in the trenches at the moment before the end of the day, and the Ning Haijun soldiers who were watching nervously felt the ground shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, there was a thunderous and violent bang, the ground was flashed with lightning, the earth was torn apart, and tons of soil and stones were sprayed into the sky like peanut shells swept by a strong wind. Below them, a cloud of orange smoke Flame rises from the ground...

Cheng Shijie looked at this scene, full of joy, and looked like a future war.

However, Shen Mingyu commanded the officers and men of the Ning Navy to move the Feilei Cannon forward and bury the Feilei Cannon position in front of the second parapet that was just occupied.

The range of the flying thunder cannon is very short. Under normal circumstances, they cannot reach the second or third ditch of Jiannu. It is of little use for them to be able to penetrate the first ditch, because there are no Jiannu soldiers in it. ,

After the deployment of the sixteen flying thunder cannons, the Ning navy officers and men ignited the fuzes of the explosive cannons, and then ran back covering their ears.

"Dong dong dong..."

The dull sound of flying thunder cannons sounded, and the sixteen packs of explosives shot Xuan'er towards the third trench of Jiannu. Each flying thunder shell was like the power of a heavy howitzer shell, especially when it fell on the ground. The explosive package in the trench, the power of the explosive gun in the narrow trench increases geometrically.

Yue Tuo looked at the gunpowder smoke and flames rising 30 meters from the third trench stupidly, and felt that there might be some problems with his perception of the world...

Yue Tuo's lips trembled slightly, just as he was about to say something, there was another whistling sound, and another round of shelling happened unexpectedly.

"Master, we can't let them continue fighting like this!"

Zhepo said anxiously, "Three of their strange cars must be destroyed!"

"how to spell?"

Yue Tuo panicked.

Jepo said numbly: "Use explosives..."

Before Zhepo Magu could finish speaking, balls of flames rose from the trench in front of him. This was the scene of Ning Haijun's brimstone incendiary bomb exploding.

"Ruined!"

At this time, Jian Nu was beaten into a daze.

The Jiannu soldiers were blown out of their bodies by the overwhelming artillery fire, grenades, flying thunder cannons and incendiary bombs. They no longer dared to hide in the anti-cannon holes.

The soldiers on the front line had already collapsed, and Yue Tuo was also retreated by the guards.

Cheng Shijie watched Jiannu running away. At this moment, gunshots rang out, and the blunderbuss, which had an absolute advantage in shooting range, called the fleeing Jiannu one by one. (end of this chapter)
