Chapter 737 The Gap Between Civilizations

Chapter 737 The Gap Between Civilizations (Third Change)
Facing Huang Taiji's bewilderment and surprise, the patriarch of the Urad clan was bleeding from his heart. Seeing his clansmen falling under the arrows one by one, he couldn't help shouting anxiously: "Quick, protect it with a shield! Quick, Add another shield, two shields to protect one..."

Turning his head around, he yelled loudly in the direction of the large siege equipment rolling slowly from behind: "Hurry up, don't you have food, why don't you hurry up and take cover, you're going to die..."

The Mongols behind him were not his people, but other Mongolian tribes. They had no training before, and naturally there was no tacit understanding with each other. When fighting, it is very common to be out of touch with each other.

Huang Taiji looked at the back and frowned, and immediately ordered his personal guards to send orders to let the arrow towers and catapults behind them move faster. With their cover, the effect will be much better, and it will not let the Ming people on the top of the city. The army can shoot arrows with peace of mind.

At the moment when the leader of the Urad tribe was here, he had never felt that time passed so slowly.In just a short while, he felt that it was very long, and he felt that the distance was only about ten feet. The trebuchet and the arrow tower climbed over at a speed slower than that of a snail.

The catapult stopped a little farther than the arrow tower. The Mongols listened to the orders of the Eight Banners of the Han Army and hurriedly hit the pile with all their strength, trying to use the fastest Time fixed trebuchet.Behind them, carts of large stones were pulled over, and a group of Mongolians were rushing to move the stones to the trebuchet.

And on those tall arrow towers, many Mongolian archers have climbed to the top along the ladder at the back, and the ground is full of archers.The resulting burden is that these arrow towers are heavier, and the number of pushers and pullers is also forced to increase, slowly pushing the arrow towers to the distance where bows and arrows can hit the top of the city.

The leader of Jianlu watched all this from a distance. Among them, Dai Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, after the catapults and arrow towers are in place and functioning, the Ming army on the top of the city will be suppressed, and the pits will be filled and dug underground." The speed can be much faster.”

Huang Taiji nodded, looked up at the sky, and said with a little worry: "This battle must end early, it has been delayed for too long before, if the people who were full before are hungry again, and have no energy to fight, let alone the Ming army Anyway, even morale will definitely be affected!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. After the road is filled, under the cover of the arrow tower and the catapult, the ladder truck and so many ordinary ladders are on the way. The so-called ants attack the city, but that's all. This Gaizhou is not as strong as Ning Jin." The city, maybe even without hitting the city car, the city will be taken..."

Before Daishan finished speaking, he heard the sound of "boom boom boom" which interrupted his speech, causing him to turn his head in surprise.

He saw gunpowder smoke rising from the top of Gaizhou City, and he, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, knew at a glance that artillery had just been fired there.Looking down, I saw two arrow towers and a trebuchet gathered by iron eggs. Although those arrow towers and trebuchets were built of rough wood, they collapsed like paper at this time, and the arrows The archer on the tower has not yet shot an arrow, and the trebuchet has not yet thrown a stone, and it has been reimbursed.

Pieces of wood flew around, and the busy Mongols and people from the Eight Banners of the Han Army lay down in one piece. Those who were lucky enough not to be affected were all scared out of their wits. run.

Daishan was speechless, staring at Cheng's hair in a daze.Huang Taiji's face also became very gloomy, and he said in a hateful voice: "Fifteen artillery shells, it was the first shelling, and they hit three. Why are these artillerymen more powerful than Ning Jin's artillerymen?"

Originally, Huang Taiji was still a little lucky. The Ming army might not have brought heavy artillery with them when they suddenly captured Gaizhou.In Gaizhou City, there are at most a few small cannons taken by the Ming army.If it hadn't been for the loss of the skilled gunners sent to Jinzhou by the Qing Dynasty, this time they came to attack Gaizhou, they would not have used trebuchets but artillery.

Now, the facts in front of him completely shattered Huang Taiji's little luck.The Ming army not only brought artillery, but even such skilled gunners.He was sure that this was definitely not transferred from Guan Ning!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's probably just luck!" Dai Shan comforted after hearing this.

How to shoot artillery accurately is really a skill. At least the Manchurians are not like this, and only the Han people have this ability.The gunners that Qing had collected with great difficulty, and those selected from them, he had also gone to training, and it was impossible for him to have such a high hit rate.But even that kind of gunner is gone now.

In this comparison, Daishan is [-]% sure that the Ming army's shelling this time was luck enough!if not……

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking to Huang Taiji, he heard the sound of "boom boom boom" coming from his ears again. Hearing the sound, there were puffs of gunpowder smoke rising into the sky above the city of Gaizhou. The cold wind blows, and the gunpowder smoke is going away.

Turning his gaze back to his own position, he was surprised to find that this time, four arrow towers and two trebuchets were hit, and the scene was a mess again.

"This..." Daishan couldn't help but speak out, but he could only say one word, and couldn't continue.His old face was full of astonishment!
On the other hand, Huang Taiji uttered in astonishment, and finished speaking: "How is this possible!"

This may be the gap between civilizations. Although the Liaodong barbarians like Jianlu can chop people with knives and shoot arrows with bows, they can't possibly understand ballistics, and they don't know how to measure distances, mark, etc. That kind of accuracy, now that the new army artillery battalion has spent countless artillery gunpowder training results, it is no wonder that it is not dumbfounded!

However, Huang Taiji is a battle-tested person after all, so he quickly turned around and recognized the reality.The first time can be said to be luck, but the second time is definitely not luck, but strength.

He immediately issued an order in an anxious tone: "Send the order, speed up the advance, otherwise you will be a living target and will be blown away by the Ming army!"

After he finished speaking, he saw the Mongols and the people of the Eight Banners of the Han army fleeing on the front line, and shouted coldly: "Let the supervisory team go forward, and execute them on the spot if they flee back without the military order!"

As expected of the elite Jianlu, Huang Taiji's will was carried out as quickly as possible.Teams of Jianludu battle teams were at the front line, executing those who fled back one by one, and their bodies were kept in different places, which effectively frightened those who fled back.

And behind those large siege equipment, there are also Jianlu urging with knives and guns. It can be clearly seen that the speed of those large siege equipment has indeed accelerated!
 This is an addition to the recommended ticket.
