The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 367
Everyone knows that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and Na Hai is no ordinary person.

He especially cherished the opportunity to fight face to face, because at this time the artillery and firecrackers of the Ming army seemed to have stopped, and they could finally fight freely.

Nahai yelled: "Boys, fight hard, defeat the Ming army, and let those Nikan know how powerful our Jurchen warriors are!"

Jiannu went mad and shouted: "Nikan, please die! The warriors of the Kingdom of Jin are invincible! Kill!"

The two armies collided fiercely, the shadow of the sword, the light of the axe, and the whistling wind when the mace was waving, blood splashed on the city of Jinzhou, and the fierce soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, and everyone fought to the death.

A Jiannu Ba Yala wielded a mace and smashed the head of a warrior of the Ming army, and a Ming army corporal next to him had sharp eyes and quick hands, regardless of the spikes on the mace, and clamped the mace with one arm.

Because the mace had thorns and was pinched by the opponent, it really couldn't be pulled back. This Ba Yala was sad, and the big knife in the hand of the Ming army corporal who had clamped the mace had already been slashed over with his shoulder and shovel.

Jiannu has rich experience in fighting. He let the knife go straight into the arms of the Ming army without retreating. In the end, both of them threw away their weapons and hugged each other. I went, the two fingers of the Corporal Commander of the Ming Army were bitten off by Jian Nu...

At this moment, the Ming army under the city really can't help much, so they can only step up to increase the strength of the city.

Fighting Jiannu "Red Banner Army" has always been proactive. At this time, all the minigun shooters are concentrating on looking for opportunities to fight. They shoot miniguns from time to time, but even if they are extremely careful, they will inevitably accidentally injure Paize.

The Ming army continued to step on the ladder and leap to the top of the city to join the bloody hand-to-hand combat. Jiannu was also unambiguous, and the third wave of people who had assembled and stood by also swarmed up.

Na Hai did not expect that the Ming army's attack would be so sharp. Nine out of ten of the first and second echelons he arranged were adults, and most of the third echelon were minors from the Eight Banners.

The reason why he personally led the second echelon to the city to fight against the Ming army was because he imagined that as few older children as possible would die as little as possible.

But the cruel reality has no second choice, and Nahai can't support it without reinforcements.

Although most of the third echelon that came up were older children, the quality of the new force led by Nahai was much lower, but newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the fighting enthusiasm of these children is unparalleled. After the Jin army's defeat momentum.

Looking at the Hou Jin army at the top of the city, the troops continued to increase, Huang Han decisively issued an order: "All the cannons will fire at fifteen paces."

The accuracy of smoothbore guns in this era is limited, and it is very likely that the two armies caught in the melee will attack indiscriminately. Therefore, Song Pengfei did not dare to give the order to continue the shelling. Seeing the Ming army at the top of the city fighting with Jiannu, he could not help. Busy and anxious.

Huang Han gave the order to continue firing, and the artillerymen, who were all on high alert, raised the muzzle slightly and shot out the 26 iron balls that had been loaded in the barrel.

"Boom boom boom..." The cannon roared again, and luck was not too bad, 23 of them crossed the western city wall of Jinzhou and entered the city within a range of about one to thirty paces.

The three iron balls directly smashed into the top of the melee city. It is not known whether more Jiannu were killed or injured or more Ming soldiers were accidentally injured, but one thing is certain. The spirit of the army was lifted, and Jiannu's little heart trembled.

The number of Ming troops going up to the top of the city was even greater. Jiannu finally couldn't hold back and was beaten and retreated steadily. When he was about to be driven off the top of the city, a huge explosion suddenly sounded in the city. It was Jiannu who was hiding. The artillery fired in the alleys and streets.

The iron balls ranging from one to two kilograms to five kilograms fired by more than twenty Franco cannons shot directly at the top of the city at a distance of about 120 steps, and none of them missed. More than 100% of the direct shots were from the Ming army. There were nearly [-] casualties.

After the Jin army only had 37 Fran cannons of various sizes, when it was discovered that the main attack direction of the Ming army was Ninghaimen, Ma Guangpu adjusted his deployment and arranged more than half of the artillery to aim at Ninghaimen.

Although the airtightness of these artillery is poor, the range is far less than the effective range of the Hongyi cannon. The larger caliber can only hit about one mile, and the smaller caliber is probably only one or two hundred steps away from the range of the gun.

But these guns actually have an advanced place, because they are all rear-loading guns.

Book friends who know a little about the development of artillery know that after-installation of artillery is a trend.Today's Fran cannon actually has the prototype of the artillery of later generations, and it works in the mode of mother and child guns.

The function of the subgun is similar to that of the artillery shells of later generations. It is a round iron cylinder with a length of about two feet and a diameter of about half a foot. There is a handle on it and a hole for inserting a fuse at the top of the tail.

The female gun is a round iron tube with a hollow and thick tail, ranging from five to eight feet in length.

When firing the cannon, insert the sub-gun filled with gunpowder and shells into the hollow at the tail of the mother gun. The mouth of the sub-gun coincides with the mouth of the mother gun. The gunner ignites the fuse, and the gunpowder in the sub-gun explodes. The bore forms a ballistic attack aimed at the target.

A mother gun is equipped with multiple sub-guns. At this time, the artilleryman quickly grabs the handle on the empty sub-gun and carries it away. Another artilleryman carries the next sub-gun that has been loaded with gunpowder, shells, and pressed the fuse to continue. fire.

The efficiency of this is at least three or four times higher than the firing speed of the Hongyi cannon when there are multiple loaded sub-guns.

Under the command of Ma Guangpu, the gunners of the Han army fired indiscriminately. Each artillery piece emptied three guns. The Ming army's offensive was successfully contained. Hundreds of Houjin troops regrouped to counterattack the city.

After being attacked by more than [-] shells, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties. Chen, the deputy general of Dongjiang Town, was unfortunately hit directly by a shell weighing about four catties. cut two pieces.

Mao Chenglu was smeared all over his face and body with the flesh and blood of his comrades-in-arms. He was lucky not to be hit directly by the shells, but that doesn't mean that he had a full beard and tail. where?

At this time, he lost his mind, only knew that the mountain ax in his hand was still there, and he still had enough strength to swing the ax to chop up slaves. He went all out and shouted: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Brothers, the only way to survive is to move forward!" , can't retreat, kill!"

Mao Chenglu didn't command his troops to fight to the death. He had rich experience and knew that his subordinates would die faster if they fled at this time and exposed their backs to Jiannu.
