Chapter 627 Fighting with Cannons
The Ai Wannian Department and the He Ren Long Nian Department lined up on the left middle and left rear sides of the officers and soldiers formation respectively, quite a distance from the "Ziwei Star Fort" in the northeast corner of Luoyang City and the "Second Artillery Regiment" that fought from the north gate. close.

These two are also brave generals.Among them, when He Renlong fought against Xiao Qinhu, he was just a defensive player.Now he has defeated and killed the leader of the rebel army many times, and has accumulated meritorious service to the position of general.Because of his bravery in battle, he was given the nickname "Crazy He", which shows how capable he is.

And that Ai Wannian is even more famous.Their Ai family was originally the landlord of Mizhi, but because Li Zicheng did not pay back the money owed, Ai Wannian's father colluded with the government to humiliate Li Zicheng in every possible way.

Unexpectedly, in a fit of rage, Li Zicheng killed officials and rebelled. He beheaded the county magistrate of Mizhi and Ai Wannian's father, and divided his family's food.

Ai Wannian was serving as a general in Shenmu at that time, so he escaped the catastrophe.Under the hatred of the country and the family, one can imagine his hatred for the rebels.

In the following years, he conquered the rebel army one after another, fought against the "lighter" Zhao Sheng, "not sticking to the mud" Zhang Cunmeng, "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong, and "Sweeping King" Zhang Yichuan. ; Capture Fan Shandong, Ji Guansuo, Zhang Shiwang and others.Along the way, he went from participating generals to accumulating meritorious service to the post of deputy commander-in-chief.

The two men received the order, a battalion of troops rushed directly to the "Ziwei Star Fort" on the left, and a cavalry rushed directly to Li Shi'an's "Second Artillery Regiment".

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and quickly looked at Zhang Shun.Zhang Shun smiled slightly, and directly ordered: "Let Wei Congyi and Zhao Lizi stop this group of cavalry, and try not to let them harass the artillery to fire."

"Then what about 'Ziwei Star Fort'?" Gao Guiying asked without hesitation.

"Zhang Sanbai has [-] elite soldiers, more than [-] cannons, and [-] shi of food. If the officers and soldiers can't keep this, it will be a waste of my efforts." Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

No wonder Zhang Shun is so confident. Western-style bastions are still rare in China in this era.No matter how talented the attackers are, without a few months of thinking, they might not be able to break through the city easily.

Not to mention that Zhang Sanbai was originally a general he carefully trained.At the beginning of Zhang Shun's leadership, he was asked twice to command the army instead of him, but there were no flaws, which showed his ability.

In addition, not only did this person join the group very early, but he was also his brother-in-law, commonly known as "big brother-in-law".Both ability and loyalty are guaranteed, so what should Zhang Shun worry about?

While the people in the city were discussing, He Renlong had already left the formation of officers and soldiers, and rushed towards Li Shi'an's artillery like a goshawk.

When Li Shi'an saw the cavalry separated from the officers and soldiers, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This will come for me. The first and second banners obey the order, and immediately set up the cannons and load double shots. The rest of the cannons are ready, set up the cannons first, and be ready at any time." Reloading operations."

That Hong Chengchou wanted to use cavalry to make cannons, but he made a wrong calculation.Under Zhang Shun and others' meticulous preparation and training, the "flying iron cannon" of the rebel army not only completed the establishment of the "artillery company" similar to the later Napoleon's period, but also completed the work of custom-made propellant and shotgun.

In the event of an emergency, each artillery team performs its duties.When the gunner gave an order, the gunners had already moved the artillery from the transport state to the ready-to-fire state.

The gunner quickly checked the enemy's distance visually, and ordered the selection of ammunition packs and ammunition types.The gunpowder pack and the shot are loaded successively by the loader, and then the gunner uses the loading rod to press the ammunition into the bottom of the barrel.

The artilleryman had already lit the fire source, put the iron hook into the fire to be calcined, and was ready to fire at any time.

Fortunately, Wei Congyi and Zhao Lizi were not vegetarians either. After seeing the order ordering them to dispatch, they rushed out with their cavalry to intercept He Renlong's troops who were rushing towards them.

That He Renlong really deserved to be "Crazy He", he couldn't help frowning when he saw Wei Congyi and Zhao Lizi rushing towards him.So, he divided up [-] troops to entangle Wei Congyi and Zhao Lizi for the time being, but he led the remaining [-] people to continue to charge towards Li Shian's artillery.

It turned out that according to He Renlong's mind, if he continued to entangle with the "thief" cavalry, he would not be able to complete the task if he wasted time, and it would even delay the speed of the officers and soldiers to defeat the "thief".

Seeing this, Li Shi'an couldn't help admiring the boldness of "Crazy He".It turned out that Li Shi'an's artillery came out from the north, and it happened to be sandwiched between the army array in the northwest corner of Luoyang and the "Ziwei Xingbao" in the northeast corner of Luoyang.

He Renlong rushed forward so recklessly, it was undoubtedly like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.Once the attack is unfavorable and surrounded by the left and right rebels, the whole army will be wiped out.

Fortunately, Li Shi'an's admiration is nothing but admiration, should he be sent to the west or should he be sent to the west.When He Ren's dragoons approached the artillery position for more than a hundred steps, Li Shi'an couldn't help but ordered loudly: "The Eight Banners are ready, fire!"

With the sound of deafening cannons, He Renlong did not expect that he would not dodge or dodge, and continued to charge forward.The entire army of officers and soldiers was unscathed.

It turned out that the so-called "Eight Banners" was actually a cast iron cannon. Li Shi'an had ordered them to load a small amount of gunpowder in order to lure the enemy with false shots on purpose.

Originally, the officers and soldiers were far away in this case, and Li Shi'an was afraid that the artillery would not have enough lethality, so he just deceived the opponent.

But Li Shi'an didn't expect that this "Crazy He" was really crazy. He was not like other cavalry who wandered around the edge of the range to lure them, luring the opponent to fire before attacking, but rushed forward.

Li Shi'an hastily ordered: "One flag fires, the second flag prepares, and the third flag loads!"

There was another deafening cannon fire, but this time the cannon sound seemed a bit dull compared to the last time.

Immediately, a group of people turned their backs on their backs, and many people fell to the ground instantly, and the roar of people and horses resounded throughout the battlefield.

He Renlong asked the left and right to count the damage with a blank face, and about [-] riders were damaged.It is common to charge into battle and die under artillery fire.He Renlong ruthlessly ordered: "Keep going!"

He Renlong's subordinates all knew He Renlong's temperament, so they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only continue to charge with their heads sullen.

Then the second burst of artillery sounded, and the third burst of artillery sounded.Every time, it was like a god of death, harvesting the lives of a large number of people and horses.Moreover, as the closer to the "thief" artillery, the loss is also increasing.

The second time more than [-] horses were damaged, and the third time more than [-] horses were damaged.He Renlong's [-] or so riders had already lost one-third.

At this time, there were only twenty or thirty steps away from the artillery of the rebel army, and the officers and soldiers could already see the ragged clothes and somewhat panicked faces of the rebel army.

Seeing that they were able to rush to the artillery battalion with little defense, and fought to their heart's content.

Only the leader of the "thief" shouted loudly: "Four flags, five flags, six flags, seven flags, let go!"

Immediately, the officers and soldiers realized that there were already more than forty artillery pieces pointing at them mercilessly, and then the flames spurted out.

Immediately, the officer and soldier suddenly felt pain in many places, and then blood rained all over the sky.He only felt that his body was stunned, and he flew high, as if he was going to fly to the bloody and rainy nine heavens, and he couldn't come down again.

　By the way, I forgot one thing, at the beginning of the month I begged for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, thank you in advance!
