Chapter 629 Small win

Knowledge is power. Although Bacon, who had just died a few years ago, had already said this sentence, it was obvious that Ai Wannian, the deputy commander, had never heard this sentence.

Ai Wannian, the deputy commander who started his career with martial arts and military exploits, believes in a philosophy that is more similar to the saying "cannon is truth, and range is justice".But the facts have proved that even though the cannon is large and has a long range, it sometimes misses the target.

Deputy Chief Soldier Ai Wannian, guerrilla Zhao Guangyuan and others were a little confused, but Zhang Shun, who was a time traveler, was not.

In fact, the reason why the artillery can't hit Ziwei Star Castle is very simple, that is, the slope is very gentle and the guard slope is higher than the ballistic height of the shell to the castle.

Therefore, these shells were either intercepted by the guard slope, or passed over Ziwei Star Castle, unable to hit the castle wall.

Fortunately, Poe is dead, but man is alive.Under Ai Wannian's order, the gunner took the risk of pushing the artillery up the slope.

The King of Chaos took advantage of the city, and quickly ordered the gunners in Ziwei Star Fort and the trenches outside the castle to shoot.

Although the cannons defending the city are crude cast iron cannons, they are much heavier than Li Shian's field cannons. Fortunately, these cast iron cannons are not sensitive to excessive weight as "guard guns", let alone affect the power of the cannons.

The distance between the two sides is only about one hundred feet, and they have already entered the range with a relatively high hit rate.After two rounds of shooting, a shell flew into the crowd of officers and soldiers.

Immediately, three or four gunners were beaten into several pieces of flesh on the spot, with blood flying everywhere.The shells penetrated several gunners in a row before bouncing out.

These gunners couldn't help being shattered, and almost turned around and ran away.Fortunately, the guerrilla general Zhao Guangyuan came over at this time and led more than ten guards to suppress the gunner's movement.

Taking advantage of the reloading opportunity of the rebel artillery, the guerrilla general Zhao Guangyuan quickly ordered: "Speed, aim and launch!"

The general's cannon had already been loaded with gunpowder and shells, and the gunners quickly picked up torches and lit the cannon randomly.More than a dozen cannonballs finally flew out before the rebels fired again, and then, they actually passed Ziwei Star Fort again.

"Evil door!" Guerrilla General Zhao Guangyuan was already terrified, seeing this made him believe that the city is protected by ghosts and gods, he quickly abandoned the gunner, turned around and ran away.It didn't matter if he ran, the left and right gunners quickly abandoned their cannons and started running.

Zhang Sanbai could see clearly from Ziwei Xingbao, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly ordered: "Let He Jin lead [-] cavalry to attack and snatch the enemy's artillery!"

He Jin was already impatient waiting at the base of the city. Hearing this, he quickly got on his horse and led three or five hundred cavalrymen to rush out without hesitation.

When he got out of the ditch and looked down the slope, he saw more than a dozen cannons still lying on the ground, ready to be picked up for nothing at any time.Then why doesn't He Jin like it?He hurriedly rushed over with the cavalry whimpering.

The rebel cavalry rushed over here, and Ai Wannian, the deputy commander in chief, was not a vegetarian either.When he saw the guerrilla general Zhao Guangyuan running back in the lead, he couldn't help stamping his foot, scolded "coward, idiot!"

As a result, after he stopped Zhao Guangyuan, he felt the ground shake.Ai Wannian looked up, and saw the cavalry of the rebel army "rolling" down from the guard slope like landslides and ground cracks.

Ai Wannian's face changed, and he couldn't help shouting: "Follow me to recoil, don't lose the artillery!"

The people led by Ai Wannian, the deputy commander in chief, are all family guards, first-class elites.Seeing that the general was desperately fighting, they rushed forward one by one screaming.

When He Jin saw it, he couldn't help laughing, and quickly divided the cavalry under his command into three teams.One team went straight to where the general's cannon was, and the other two pairs were divided into two columns, one from the left and the other from the right, passing by both sides of the counterattacking officers and soldiers.

The heavy waist knife only needs to be leveled with a stroke.The knife borrows manpower, and man borrows horsepower. This stroke is even more ferocious than chopping with force, and it immediately brought down more than ten elite Ming soldiers.

Ai Wannian's vision widened again when the cavalry was gone.He looked up and saw more than a hundred cavalrymen were dragging more than a dozen cannons tied with ropes to the Ziwei Star Castle not far away.

Ai Wannian couldn't help but roared, still waiting to chase.It's a pity that He Jin's two teams of cavalry crossed behind the officers and soldiers. After adjusting their direction, they once again attacked from left to right.

It turned out that He Jin had such a big appetite that he wanted to eat not only this batch of cannons, but also this batch of guards!
Ai Wannian, the deputy commander-in-chief, is worthy of being a seasoned general. Seeing this situation, he was not afraid, but shouted loudly: "Where are the officers, soldiers and cavalry? Come quickly and rescue us!"

It doesn't matter if Ai Wannian shouts, why doesn't He Jin know that there is a "big fish" here?He quickly led the cavalry to rush forward, entangled Ai Wannian, Zhao Guangyuan and others tightly.

However, although there are not many officers and soldiers in this group, they are all elites with high martial arts skills and many battles. They all wear double armor, hold knives and guns, and fight endlessly to the death.

Although the cavalry under He Jin's command were brave, they couldn't do anything to this group of officers and soldiers for a while.Not long after, more than a thousand cavalry were also sent out from the officers and soldiers battalion, galloping here, if they don't leave, I'm afraid I will have to explain here today.He Jincai reluctantly abandoned Ai Wannian, the deputy commander, and fled back to Ziwei Star Castle.

Ai Wannian and Zhao Guangyuan have suffered such a big loss, how can they give up?They quickly ordered five hundred soldiers to attack Ziwei Star Fort along the guard slope.

This time, King Zhishi didn't even bother to waste the cannonballs. He just ordered the soldiers to put this wave of officers and soldiers into about eighty steps, and then fired both the guns and the Francois, and it was easy to climb to about two-thirds of the way in a short time. The officers and soldiers poured out a piece like harvested wheat.

The officers and soldiers fought back a few times with the bows, arrows and firecrackers in their hands, but found that they were almost useless, so they had to discard thirty or forty corpses, and retreated in despair.

Ai Wannian was still angry and wanted to fight again, but was stopped by the guerrilla general Zhao Guangyuan.Zhao Guangyuan said to him: "Mr. Ai, this castle is heavily guarded and well-organized. If there is no artillery, it is absolutely impossible to go down, and nothing can be done!"

Ai Wannian stared at him for a long while, kicked the guerrilla general Zhao Guangyuan to the ground, cursed "trash!" and ordered the whole army to retreat helplessly.

Ai Wannian's attack here was frustrated, and the camp of officers and soldiers there was not much better.It turned out that the cavalry led by He Renlong failed to attack Li Shi'an's "Second Artillery Regiment", so the rebel army pushed the artillery more than a hundred feet away from the officers and soldiers camp.

Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Chaotic King and others from the rebel army had already mobilized a large formation to guard, and Li Shi'an and others were at ease to bombard the officers and soldiers "City with Feet".

Regardless of whether it is an officer or a "city with feet", after all, it is not an iron wall, how can it withstand artillery shooting like this?

For a while, the chariots were smashed by the artillery, and the officers and soldiers were in chaos without fighting.Seeing this, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao and Chaotic King rushed forward.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers could not resist, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, had to wave the commander's flag and order the whole army to retreat.
