I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 37 Bombarding the Turkic Border, Shocking

Due to the renewal of materials and the mass production of gunpowder, the current Lingzhou Armament Workshop has exploded.

Artillery has also officially entered the army from continuous experiments.

The real weapon of war is finally showing its fangs first!
Thirty artillery pieces were dragged by more than sixty horses, followed by a 3000-strong armored army.

In Qin Mu's eyes, these cannons are still relatively simple, but in this era, they have already surpassed everyone's cognition.

"Qianhu, what if this thing is going to blow up, we all have to scrap it!"

Snapped!
Qianhu Wang Qin slapped the soldier directly, "What are you talking about, when did the weapons produced by the workshop have problems?"

"I'm just talking." The soldier wiped his head, smiled honestly, and looked at the black muzzle in front of him, which looked like a bloody mouth, preparing to devour his prey.

Border, Turkic City!

It used to be a place that the Turks didn't care about at all, and even sent thousands of troops to guard it.

They didn't take Tang Jun seriously at all.

But it is different now, in such a city, there are very few people, but the army exceeds tens of thousands!
Just because of the deterrence brought by that Jingguan!

Wang Qin ordered to stop, about one mile away from the city.

In fact, he didn't know that this thing could really hit that far, so he got closer.

"Listen to me, don't rush up casually, our task is to harass!"

"Yes!"

A group of soldiers followed orders and soon began to prepare artillery.

This time is not only a mission, but also an experiment, and it is also the first actual artillery battle.

Wang Qin rode a horse and rushed not far away, so that the soldiers in the city could see him.

"Barbarians, I'm here to see you!"

The Turks were furious, and everyone prepared strong bows. Unfortunately, the range and accuracy of the bows and arrows were far from enough, and there was no way to hurt Wang Qin and others.

shhhhhh!
Countless arrows rained down and landed firmly on the ground tens of meters away from Wang Qin.

The Turkic people were so distraught that they even wanted to leave the city, but were blocked.

"General, should we just let them mock here?" The soldiers refused to accept.

The general's face was gloomy and cold, and the eight-foot man was covered with bruises, but he could only swallow his anger.

"Do you think you can survive if you rush up? Khan's order is to defend, not to attack. If you rush out rashly, what will you do if the city is captured?"

"Those soft-legged shrimps, what's there to be afraid of!"

"Then you go!"

Hearing this, the Turkic soldiers were also discouraged.

Thinking about the scene many days ago, I feel terrified!

"Get out of the way!"

Suddenly, a flying crossbow arrow directly hit the soldier's head!

All the sergeants hurriedly lay down under the wall, not daring to show their heads.

"Bastard! They actually arranged for a surprise attack!"

Only then did the general realize that the opponent did not intend to attack directly.

In the distance, there is a piece of grass, and there is nothing unusual at all.

But on the ground, several members of the Special Forces lay there motionless, covered with turf.

They did the attack just now!

"I said you need to practice more, such a good opportunity, you can't even hit one person!"

The soldier "I" was very unconvinced. He expected to assassinate the general just now, but unfortunately he missed his shot and killed an unremarkable Turkic soldier.

"After you go back, practice more. In addition, you have recently started to equip matchlock guns in large quantities. You must seize the opportunity."

The captain said with a smile, his face was painted green, and his smile was particularly weird.

"Captain, is it possible that you have all been selected?"

"It is certain that we will be selected. You were brought out by me, so I hope you can follow along."

The soldier lay on the ground, his eyes showed firmness, "I want to join the artillery team!"

"I think you kid is wishful thinking, do you know what it is? You don't even understand the basics, so you can get in?"

"You can learn if you don't understand. The sage king said that as long as you have an idea, you must persist!"

To be able to enter the musketeer team is definitely a top soldier, after all the virtuous king attaches great importance to it!
The captain didn't know what to say, their training was based on the method of assassination, and the artillery team fought in coordination, not in the same direction at all.

"Withdraw, the rear is about to start!"

The three of them began to crawl back, and then retreated under a hill.

"Open your mouth and cover your ears!"

"Why?"

The captain stared fiercely: "What the hell are you talking about, just do it!"

This approach is actually what King Xian said, as long as you are within a hundred meters of the cannon, you must cover your ears and open your mouth when firing the cannon.

rear.

Wang Qin lined up thirty cannons.

"Load! Fire!"

boom!boom!boom!
There was a loud noise, as if the earth was trembling.

There was a screaming sound in the air, and the shell hit the distant city wall in an instant.

However, more are deviated from the intended position.

No way, they were using artillery for the first time, and they didn't know anything about ballistics at all, not to mention that this was a primitive artillery, and its accuracy was comparable to that of an arquebus.

The dense shells hit the city wall and roared!

One by one, the city wall shattered, and then was smashed through a gap.

"Get out of the way!"

"Run, the gods are angry!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers were thrown into disarray, and most of them were so dizzy by the roar that they couldn't even stand still.

However, the moment they just fell.
boom!
A shell directly hit the crowd, and instantly the corpse flew into the sky!

"General, run quickly, we don't know what is being used on the other side, we can't stop it at all!"

The general's face was pitch black, with blood stains on his face, and his eyes were empty and lifeless.

Obviously, he was frightened out of his wits!
"Get away! There are iron balls in the sky!"

The soldier quickly pushed the general down the stairs, but he was blown to pieces.

And the stairs down the city wall were also destroyed, thousands of soldiers above became targets!
Such an explosion, and a shocking scene!
Not to mention the Turkic people, even the soldiers on the border can feel it from miles away.

Wang Qin became more and more excited at this time, and shouted: "Focus on me, speed up the loading speed!"

In just this moment, he already liked this feeling.

That kind of shock, that kind of madness!
"Qianhu, that general is still on the tower."

"Focus on that position for me! I'm going to blow him to pieces!"

Seeing the crazy attack of shells, countless soldiers died as a result.

The general on the tower finally regained his composure, his body was covered in broken walls, and there were even a large number of corpse fragments.

It was like a scene of hell!
"General, order to retreat quickly. More than [-] of our people have died, and countless people in the city have been killed and injured, and all seven large warehouses have been destroyed!"

"What!" The general chattered his yellow teeth.
call out!
"Withdraw, withdraw!"

At this moment, dozens of cannonballs were fired, but fortunately they were blocked by the city wall.

"Qin Mu! I, Turk, will never die with you!"
