Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 431 The Real Artillery

"Bombardment!" The general of the Dashun Army dragged more than a dozen treasured bronze field cannons to the central army, aiming at the camp of the Ming army led by Yuan Chonghuan.

The Fu Liao army on the left and right flanks combined was only [-], while the Ming army in the middle had [-], which seemed extra heavy, so Li Zicheng and the others concentrated their artillery in the middle to deal with the Ming army.

"Bombardment!" Mangui's Ming army also had Franc machine guns and some old-style artillery.

These old guns had little elevation and were pushed to the forefront.Man Gui, the former commander of the army, wore armor and an iron helmet, and personally supervised the battle.

boom!The cannons of the Dashun Army were the first to attack, and one after another the artillery fell into the camp of the Ming Army.The firing of the artillery caused some panic in the defense line of the Ming army.

"Don't panic, we will launch a counterattack soon! You guys bring your own soldiers to supervise the battle, dare to destroy the formation and kill without mercy!" Man Gui decisively dispatched the supervisor team with the sword on his waist Go ahead and control the situation to prevent a large-scale rout caused by shelling.

In this tampered time and space, what Li Zicheng faced was not an opponent like Wu Sangui, but Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zu Dashou, Zhao Ledjiao and other Ming army generals led Ningyuan's elite soldiers, which could barely fight against the Eight Banners.

After the supervisory team came to the front line, they quickly stabilized the situation.

boom!The artillery of the Ming Army also fired afterward, bombarding the [-] bandits led by Liu Zongmin.

This was the first time that Liu Zongmin and the others fought face to face with the elite regular army of Ming Dynasty other than attacking Hong Chengchou!
The howling shells pierced through the rows of rogues, and dozens of people were smashed to pieces by the shells!These rogues are numerous and concentrated together, there is no formation at all, the shells are like iron plows plowing the field, and one shot can pass through several formations!
scare!These rogues nervously avoided their comrades who were killed by shells, their faces pale.

Liu Zongmin saw that the army's heart was shaken, and looked anxiously at Li Zicheng, the main banner of the Chinese army.

Finally, the Chinese army heard the sound of attacking drums, and Liu Zongmin breathed a sigh of relief.He drew out his saber: "The whole army marches forward!"

The [-] bandits started to move, charging the Ming army with all kinds of weapons!

Li Zicheng's left army and right army also started to attack, and their opponents were about [-] Fuliao army respectively!
The artillery officers of the Second Artillery Brigade heard the artillery of the Ming Army and the artillery of the Dashun Army firing at each other, and they couldn't help talking.

"Listening to the sound of the artillery, it is a bronze cannon that we have eliminated, and the artillery of the Ming army is probably similar to that of the Dashun army, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"I can't stand it anymore, let them see what real artillery is."

The officers of the Second Artillery Brigade watched the artillerymen of the Dashun Army and the artillerymen of the Ming Army peck at each other, and wanted to show their hands itchy.They have excellent smoothbore guns that are 200 years more advanced than this era. No matter the range, rate of fire, or power, they are not comparable to the artillery of the Ming army.The obsolete goods secretly sold to Li Zicheng were nothing more than cannons similar to those of the Ming army.
"Load the ammunition and prepare to fire!" The artillery chief urged the artillerymen to load the artillery from the ammunition pile into the barrel, and the artillerymen next to them held torches and prepared to ignite.

"Bombardment!" The hundred cannons of the Second Artillery Brigade roared in unison, bursting out with blazing flames!
Like a big earthquake, the Ming army soldiers in the middle could feel the slight tremor of the ground, and everyone's eyes on the battlefield were focused on the artillery brigade's position!

Liu Zongmin's troops, who had rushed towards the Ming army, paused. Liu Zongmin first looked at the place where the artillery exploded, and then turned his head to look at the right-wing troops on his side.

I only saw hundreds of shells falling into the position of 3 people on Li Zicheng's right wing!Solid bullets pierced through the formation of the rogues, and the fragile human body was easily smashed like tofu in front of the iron block!Accompanied by the solid bullets and the fuzed blooming bullets, they exploded among the rogues, and the broken fragments blew up the surrounding rogues.

The rogues who had been shelled ran away with their heads in their arms, and the morale of the right wing that was originally high was basically exhausted because of this shelling.The war horses scrambled uneasily in fear of the sound of the artillery, disrupting the nearby formations.The generals of the Dashun Army tried their best to rein in their horses, otherwise they would throw themselves to the ground.It's just that ordinary soldiers can't control their fear and start to waver.

What was even more frightening was that after the first round of shelling fell into the camp of the Dashun Army like pouring rain, the second round of shelling soon followed! There were loud noises of shells exploding and ground shaking one after another!
"This is the real firearm. Our General Cannon and Franco Cannon are like fireflies in front of them. How can they compete with the sun and the moon!"

The artillery generals of the Ming army in Shanhaiguan trembled when they heard the devastating momentum of the artillery owned by the thousands of people in the Liao army.

The heavy artillery of the Ming army is often used to defend the city, and basically only small-caliber old-style artillery can be loaded and unloaded for field battles.

This poor artillery looked very weak in front of the powerful artillery unit of the Fuliao Army.

Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Zu Dashou and others were all shocked by the powerful strength of the Fuliao Army! Although the number was small, there were only 1 people from the Second Artillery Brigade and the Horqin Cavalry Brigade, but they became the focus of attention of the audience! Even Li Zicheng's 20 refugees were overshadowed by this powerful artillery offensive.

"No...no!" The right wing, which was constantly being bombarded, couldn't bear the constant artillery bombardment. These rogues who knew the fear found that their companions were smashed to death by shells from time to time, and the death was tragic.

The huge gunshots seemed to explode in their hearts, breaking down the last line of defense in their hearts!
I don't know who took a step back first, more and more people ignored General Dashun's urging and retreated back again and again!
Boom! Not only the artillery brigade has powerful artillery, but the seventh and eighth infantry brigades that deal with Li Zicheng's left-wing troops also have their own field artillery!
Dozens of hundreds of cannons were thrown into Li Zicheng's army on the left and right wings at the same time, and the enemy troops on the left and right wings were quickly collapsed!
"The Horqin cavalry attack!" The upstart Wu Keshan of the Horqin tribe rode on a Mongolian horse, held his cavalry sword high, and led [-] Horqin cavalry to attack quickly! The [-] roaring horses first trotted, and then accelerated, galloping like lightning!

"The first line moves forward!" Xu Shi, the commander of the infantry brigade on the left, pulled out his command saber, allowing the line musketeers to launch an attack almost simultaneously with the right wing under the cover of artillery!
The artillery was suppressed, the infantry and cavalry began to purge, and all the actions were completed in one go. The heads of Li Zicheng and the generals of the Dashun Army who were originally on the offensive side were blank.They didn't expect that the 6 people on the left and right wings would be quickly defeated!
