Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 225 Artillery Battle
Qi Jiguang frowned when he saw that Daishan had brought out something he hadn't used for a long time.

Qi Jiguang is very clear about the power of shield vehicles and siege ladders.

"Captain, it seems that you have a headache for those broken cars, so let the general lead the black armored cavalry out of the city to destroy them."

Seeing Qi Jiguang frowning at the shield car, Li Cunxiao said indifferently.

Qi Jiguang turned his head to look at this unparalleled general, and couldn't help smiling slightly:
"General, this is called a shield chariot. Ming cannons and flintlock guns can't penetrate it. If you let the black armored iron ride on it, what will you do if you encounter the firearms behind the shield chariot? Are you sure you will win?"

Hearing what Qi Jiguang said, Li Cunxiao couldn't help frowning, he was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that the black armored cavalry would suffer too much loss.

There were only 1 people in total. After several battles, although the losses were not large, hundreds of people died in battle.

The current war is very different from that of his dynasty. There are not only muskets but also artillery.

These firearms can pierce through the iron plate, even if the black armored cavalry is well equipped, they will not be immortal in the face of the artillery attack.

It wasn't that Li Cunxiao was afraid. If there were firearms that were not used, and the black armored cavalry were to attack, once they suffered heavy losses, the emperor would not be able to explain it at all.

Li Cunxiao was at a loss for words for a while, he couldn't answer Qi Jiguang's question.

Seeing that Li Cunxiao was a little embarrassed, Qi Jiguang patted Li Cunxiao on the shoulder and said with a smile:

At any time, iron cavalry is a sharp weapon for attacking cities and villages, the key depends on how to use it.

The artillery battle is over, the black armored cavalry is the harvester of life, and you are still the strongest unit in Ming Dynasty.

What Qi Jiguang said was not wrong, he was not flattering Li Cunxiao, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it still needs the cooperation of cavalry, otherwise it will become a pile of scrap iron.

After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he immediately issued an order:

"Huang Ming!"

Huang Ming hastily stepped forward to salute:

"Huang Ming is here, please order from the governor!"

Qi Jiguang pointed to the Dongyaodun driveway under the city:

"See, there are at least a dozen soldiers with bows and arrows behind each vehicle captured in the East.

Dongyao had only one army to attack the city, and immediately pulled red cannons from other city gates, temporarily gave up the flowering ammunition, and replaced them all with solid ammunition. Zhen also killed the bandit soldiers behind him! "

"Yes"

Huang Ming hastily received the order, turned around and arranged for the artillerymen to bring in the red-clothed cannons and replace them with solid ammunition.

The weight of the shells is too light. It is necessary to replace the shells with more than ten kilograms.

The Eastern captives under the city don't care about your red-clothed cannons, they are moving forward quickly.

The shield chariots in front were full of surrendered Han troops, and the shield chariots pushed by the Dongyao Tartars followed behind the Han troops.

Behind each shield car is a tiger squatting cannon, and there are a dozen musketeers and archers.

As long as the Ming army comes out to fight, they will definitely smash the Ming army into a sieve.

If the Ming army only defended and did not attack, they would soon be able to touch the city wall and set up ladders to attack the city.

Qi Jiguang kept watching Dongyao's shield chariot with a telescope, and when he saw the shield chariot entering the range, he immediately issued an order:

"fire"

"Rumble..."

Fifty red-clothed cannons roared together, and fifty artillery shells weighing tens of kilograms quickly smashed towards the Eastern captives.

"Boom bang..."

Most of the shells on the top of the city hit the shield car, and the shield car hit by the shell shook a few times and pushed forward again.

"Rumble..."

After the first round of shelling was over, the second round of shells hit the shield vehicle hard.

The seemingly simple shield car was still advancing, but the Han army behind the shield car was a little dizzy from the shock of the shells.

At this time, another fifty cannons mounted on the top of the city, and a hundred cannons slammed on the shield chariot.

The shield car was staggered by the bombardment, temporarily stopping its progress, but none of the shields were destroyed.

Of course, not every shell can hit the shield car, and the hit rate of the Ming army's shells is less than half.

If they could hit the shield chariots, those Han soldiers and Tartars who were pushing the shield chariots would be shocked to death even if they were not smashed to death.

"Ama, Minggou's shells are too dense, can our shield car hold up?"

Man Dahai watched the sky full of shells continuously bombarding the shield vehicle, and he began to worry.

Daishan laughed loudly:

"Don't worry, Ama's shield vehicles are all shockproof, so there won't be any problems for the time being."

"shockproof?"

Although Man Dahai didn't understand the meaning of anti-shock, he didn't continue to ask.

Daishan is really worthy of the old fox. It turns out that he ordered someone to add an insurance to the shield car.

Add another layer to the inner layer of the shield car, and fill the entire compartment with sand.

In this way, not only the thickness of the shield car has been increased, but also the shock resistance of the shield car has been increased.

"Rumble..."

The shelling did not end, suddenly several shells hit the two shield vehicles at the same time.

Under the joint impact of several shells, the two shield vehicles were blasted upside down.

As soon as the bodies of the Tartars and Han soldiers behind the shield car were exposed, they were smashed into meatloaf by the shells flying from behind.

"Grandma, these dog tartars are too strong, and finally got rid of two of them."

Huang Ming saw that the shield chariot was overturned and all the Tartars inside were crushed to death, so he couldn't help but swear.

Li Cunxiao was surprised by the defense of the Dongyao shield chariot, and looked at Qi Jiguang from time to time, he didn't know what else Qi Jiguang could do.

Because the artillery fire was too dense, the Tartars' shield vehicles could no longer move forward, and they all suspended their attack.

Seeing that the Dongyao shield chariot was beaten and unable to move forward, Dai Shan immediately called a Jiala Ezhen and said:

"Order the artillery to fire, so that Minggou can also taste the power of our artillery."

"twitter"

Daishan also brought more than a dozen red-clothed cannons this time, intending to use them to blast through the city gates, but seeing that the shield chariot could not move forward, he had to use the red-clothed cannons.

With a wave of the command flag in the hand of Dongyao Jiala Ezhen, the Tazi artillery positions immediately received the semaphore to fire.

The Tartar artillery immediately began to load ammunition, aimed at the head of Liaoyang city and started shelling.

"Rumble..."

"Boom bang..."

More than a dozen shells flew towards the city of Liaoyang.

However, their technology is really not very good, and the shells did not fly to the top of the city.

Instead, they all bombarded the city wall, smashing pits into the solid city wall.

Daishan held up the binoculars to see where the shells landed, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Aim at the point and keep firing!"

"twitter"

Dongyao Artillery agreed, continued to load shells, and then ignited.

"fire"

"Rumble..."

Dozens of shells bombarded the city wall again, but this time one slipped through the net.

One of the shells finally landed beside the Ming army, except for breaking some bricks and stones, it still did not hurt anyone in the Ming army.

After the first round of shelling in Dongyao, Qi Jiguang began to search for Dongyao artillery positions with a telescope in hand.

Finally, at the end of the second round of shelling, he determined the specific location of the Dongyao artillery position.

Qi Jiguang snorted coldly and called Huang Ming again. "

Huang Ming"

Huang Ming hastily stepped forward to salute:

"Captain."

After Qi Jiguang handed the binoculars to Huang Ming, he pointed to the location of the Dongcap artillery and ordered:
"That's the Dongyao artillery position. Fifty cannons fired together to destroy the Dongyao Tartar's artillery..."
