please make me king

Chapter 849 Breakthrough

Not to mention how Chen Changliang was fighting for his life here, let's say that Zhang Shun saw the rebels coming to Jindou Pass, worried that Chen Changliang would be alone, so he quickly sent a team to meet him.

Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers on the city also knew that it was time to fight for their lives, so they braved the gunfire of the rebels and moved the two Hongyi cannons over.

The two cannons were hidden behind the parapet, one on the left and the other on the right, forming a crossfire and shooting out a hail of bullets.

Only two cannon shots were heard, and the rebels who were quickly leaping towards the closed door fell down like harvested wheat.

Just when everyone panicked and fled back one after another.Suddenly, a young general jumped up and shouted loudly: "The enemy's artillery is exhausted. If we don't advance now, when will we wait?"

He took the lead and rushed over.Encouraged by it, the other soldiers couldn't help shouting, got up from the ground one after another, and rushed towards the checkpoint.Not long after, more than a hundred people rushed past.

Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief, quickly ran to the artillery position, and shouted sharply: "Aim the artillery on the city for me, and hit me hard!"

"King Shun, King Shun! It's dangerous here, just let me take command!" Dudu Zhang was startled when he saw Zhang Shun running in front of the cannon, and hurried over and said.

In this era, even well-cast cannons often explode, so the salaries of gunners are often twice that of ordinary soldiers.

Zhang Dudu was worried if he was not afraid of [-], he was afraid of what happened. If something happened, he would die without redemption.

"Don't pull me! If they are right, I will be right!" Zhang Shun said angrily.

Chen Changbing is his family's righteous brother, not only his core supporter, but also the one who rushes forward at critical times regardless of his wealth or life.

If he is defeated in this battle, not only will the morale of the rebel army suffer a major blow, but even the growing number of surrendered troops will be in danger of turning against the enemy.

Zhang Shun pulled the gunner away, closed one eye, and took aim according to the method of "three points and one line", and found that the "General Qingtian Cannon" had already aimed at the female wall that Jin Dou closed.

There was a hole in the female wall, and a red cannon still smoking from the muzzle was plugged into it.

Zhang Shun looked at the position of the female wall, estimated the distance in his mind, and then ordered: "Raise this cannon up half a minute!"

In this era, gunners have learned to use gun gauges, gun rulers, and charts for firing guns.

The blunderbuss ruler is used to measure the amount of gunpowder used for shells of different materials. The reference table is a simple table of shooting parameters, and the blunderbuss measuring rule is used to measure the shooting angle of the artillery.

Due to the low level of education of gunners in this era, it is difficult to calculate complex data, so normal shooting relies on corrected data and shoots according to the table.

As for the "Measuring Gun Gauge", Sun Yuanhua once described it in his "Xifa Shenji": the shape is like a cladding, made of copper, and the hook is more than a foot long.The stock length is one inch and five cents, and the Pythagorean is the heart of luck.Only make one quarter of the rule, the center of the rule is penetrating through the orifice, tied with a thread, and at the end of the thread, use a hammer to wrap around the edge according to the rule, and divide it evenly into twelve points.

Although this book was written in the fifth year of Chongzhen, the method of its use has already spread to the artillery camps of the Ming army in various places.

Generally, it is mastered by middle and low-level officers in the artillery battalion, and the trajectory can be adjusted and corrected at any time at critical times.

Among the rebels, there were quite a few people from the frontier army who knew how to shoot artillery. After being discovered by Li Shi'an of the "Second Artillery Regiment", he also promoted this skill to the entire "Second Artillery Regiment".

This gun gauge is actually a quarter of a right-angle compass, which is divided into twelve points, and each point is exactly 7.5° for later generations.

Now in order to accurately hit the target, Zhang Shun disliked that it was not precise enough, so he ordered to increase it by half a point.

The gunner got the order, and quickly used a wooden hammer to beat the trapezoidal wooden block on the tip of the Wanjin Hongyi cannon, lowering the rear end of the cannon slightly.

Zhang Shun took another look and felt that it was almost done, so he ordered: "Fire and shoot!"

Subsequently, the gunner issued orders one by one in accordance with the "Artillery Launch Regulations" to complete Zhang Shun's task.

Wait until the gunner shouted: "Fire!"

The "General Qingtian Cannon" spat out tongues of flame deafeningly, and a cannonball was placed in the middle of the female wall of the Hongyi Cannon, smashing it to pieces.

The clod of Sanhe soil splashed like a cannonball and hit the gunner behind the parapet, causing a burst of screams.

bingo?Zhang Shun was also taken aback. He thought he needed to correct a few shots before he could hit the target, but he didn't expect to be able to hit his soul with one shot!
"Play another one!" Zhang Shun gave the order decisively, regardless of his emotional agitation.

This time, without the good luck just now, Zhang Shun took aim and fired five or six times in a row before destroying the closed Hongyi cannon in one fell swoop.

The fight outside the customs is very lively, and the inside of the customs is also on the line of life and death.

Chen Changzhu made a decisive decision to block the way for the officers and soldiers to go down the stairs, but not long after, another twenty or thirty officers and soldiers surrounded him from behind.

It turns out that apart from this one ladder in Jindou Pass, there is another ladder behind the checkpoint.

Chen Changbing suffered from not knowing its structure, and was immediately surrounded in the middle.

However, although there are many officers and soldiers, it is still difficult to give full play to its numerical advantage.

Chen Changliang's men are all elites, and they wear double armors, so why should they be afraid of him?

Just rushing all the way, Chen Changzhu was worried that the soldiers under his command would be exhausted, so he ordered the soldiers to lean their backs against the city wall as much as possible to resist the two-sided attack of the officers and soldiers.

This not only reduces the contact surface between the two sides, but also saves energy, killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that this method is good, but it has a biggest problem.If there were no reinforcements, sooner or later, Chen Changzhu and the [-] to [-] people under his command would be physically exhausted, and eventually they would not even be able to escape.

How did Chen Changbing not know this possibility?But he trusted Zhang Shun, so he didn't care at all.

Inexplicably, Chen Changzhu remembered a sentence in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "We are called monarchs and ministers, but we are actually brothers".

The giri of men is completely different from the giri of men and women, and the giri of women.

"Three cups of Turanuo, the five mountains are light!"

Don't look at the usual laughing and joking between men, it seems that there is no serious friendship, but often at critical moments, they can stab each other for no reason.

Chen Changbing is such a person, he believes that Zhang Shun is also such a person, this is a man's intuition.

I can't help but see that this sentence is illogical. In fact, since Chen Changzhu was fifteen or sixteen years old, he traveled all over the world to escort and deliver escorts, and he only relied on this heroic spirit to travel the world.

People from all corners of the country are strangers to each other. If you want to make friends and make people look up to you, you can't do it without a little intuition.

So at the beginning, whenever Chen Changbing went to a mountain village to worship the mountain, he would "go to the meeting alone" and go up the mountain alone.

When he reached the mountain, he threw the Qinglong Yanyue Knife on the ground and shouted loudly: "We are all brothers in the four seas. I am Chen Changlan of Wen County. I pass by the treasure land and ask you for a bowl of wine!"

If the wine is successful, this matter will be seven or eight layers; if the wine is not successful, then this matter will probably go wrong.

And he, Zhang Shun, and Xiao Qinhu were the ones who drank this bowl of wine, and they were the wine of sworn worship by beheading the chicken head and worshiping the handle.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Changzhu held the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, slashing left and right, beheading several people in a row, unstoppable, and repelling the officers and soldiers who swarmed up.

Only then did he take two steps back, panting heavily against the city wall.

"You are desperate, when will you wait if you don't surrender now?" The officers and soldiers couldn't help but use their scheming.

"Hahaha!" Chen Changzhu couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Your defeat is imminent, why did you say that?"

The officers and soldiers saw that the thieves were stubborn to the end, so they had to attack again.Just as the two sides were confronting each other, suddenly there was a commotion behind the formation of officers and soldiers, and the sound of fighting sounded again.

Chen Changzhu's spirit lifted, and he couldn't help shouting: "The reinforcements have arrived, everyone quickly follow me to meet them!"

How could the officers and soldiers expect that Chen Changzhu and others dared to take the initiative to attack even though they were surrounded in the middle.

When they were attacked from front and back for a while, how could the officers and soldiers at the gate of the checkpoint resist it?

Not long after, Chen Changliang killed the officers and soldiers thoroughly, and when he looked ahead, it turned out that it was Zhang Rujing who came.

"What's the situation?" Of course, Chen Changzhu didn't think that Zhang Shun was taking military affairs as a joke and sent a doll over.

"The outside was blocked by officers and soldiers' Hongyi cannons, so many people couldn't get in for a while!" Zhang Rujing gasped.

Chen Changzhuan glanced at the people brought by Zhang Rujing, nodded and said, "That's enough, let me break the trap!"

The two sides converged into one place, and turned around to kill the officers and soldiers.

Chen Changliang is good at martial arts, even without the help of a horse, he is still a mighty fighter.

With Chen Changzhu as the arrow, and the officers and men as the backing, Zhang Rujing assisted them, and they lined up to launch a counterattack against the officers and soldiers.

Chen Changliang took one step at a time, one kill at a time, one drink at a time, like in a land without people.Fighting in this narrow space is just like what Zhao She said: like two mice fighting in a hole, the brave will win!

Chen Changliang was unstoppable and fought all the way to the stairs.

When he was in the middle of killing, he saw that the officers and soldiers were timid, so he simply climbed up the steps and continued to charge.

The Qinglong Yanyue Knife in Chen Changbing's hand became blunt, so he turned over and continued chopping with the back blade.

The back of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife is like a machete with a reverse edge, but its chopping ability is stronger.

Some officers and soldiers used shields to block them, but Chen Changlan split the wooden shield with a single knife, and then stabbed him to death on the steps.

Killing and killing, Chen Changzhu felt that the resistance in front of him was loosened, and he was impressively killed on the top of Jin Douguan.

Chen Changzhu looked at the hundreds of officers and soldiers who were closing the gate, and he wanted to kill them again with his sword.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, someone yelled "Damn!", then abandoned the knife and gun, turned around and fled to another step.

It turned out that during the fight all the way up, Chen Changliang was already covered in blood, and there was not a clean place on his body.

The officers and soldiers had experienced the double blow of "General Qingtian Cannon" and Chen Changzhu, and their morale was already on the verge of collapse.
