Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 615 Bloody Battle in Tieling (5)

"Arrow attack!!"

Roars rang out in the east city of Tieling. The Jianlu who were guarding various parts of the city wall were running around like crazy. They couldn't help but run away. The Ming army outside the city was simply crazy.

The arrows that covered the sky and covered the sun hit Tieling East City like rain.

"Shhhhhh..."

The sound of arrows breaking through the air gathered together, which was extremely shocking.

The Ming army besieging Tieling had launched an arrow rain offensive in previous sieges, but they had never been as crazy as now.

A wave of arrows flew from mid-air, followed immediately by another round of arrows, and there were even a lot of rockets mixed in with the arrows.

This is obvious! !
"Chief Rong, do you really want to keep launching arrow attacks on Tieling East City like this?"

The general holding the telescope said with a somewhat complicated expression: "If the fight continues like this, the arrows in our army's reserve will be empty. If the Tiger Army does not capture Tieling City, the next battle will be difficult to fight. Don’t forget that the Ministry of Finance has issued a strict order before, and Tieling must be taken within ten days, otherwise we will be severely punished!”

"Shut up!"

Liang Zhongshan shouted in a low voice, but his bright eyes were fixed on the direction of the front line constructed by the Tiger Army. He found that there were many athletes of the Tiger Army running towards the front line as if holding something in their arms.

How could he, Liang Zhongshan, not know about taking Tieling City within ten days?

And this deadline is getting closer.

But what Huben Jun did made Liang Zhongshan confused.

Liang Zhongshan is also considered a battle-hardened warrior and has experienced a lot on the battlefield, but what the Tiger Ben Army did surprised Liang Zhongshan.

Whose cannon is buried in a pit?

Whose cannon has such a big muzzle?

Whose cannon has such a high firing angle!

Who stuffs gunpowder packets into cannons?
What the Huben Army was doing now not only surprised Liang Zhongshan, but also shocked the generals and artillerymen who were playing with cannons in the permanent artillery formations scattered outside the east city.

"Is this a fucking cannon?"

In an artillery array, a burly gunner stood next to an artillery piece with his eyes wide open, and said in shock: "The caliber of this cannon is too damn exaggerated. The angle of fire is set so high. What a damn thing it is." It's beyond the limit of the cannon. You can't do this with any cannon!"

"Are these chicks from the Tiger Army crazy?"

At the same time, in another artillery formation, an artillery flag officer glared and said: "You fucking buried the cannon in the soil and then increased the angle of fire. Aren't you fucking waiting to explode?! !”

"General!! Run and report to the commander-in-chief, don't let these fools from the Tiger Army do this!"

And in a certain artillery formation, the first artillery commander ran towards his subordinate general in excitement, regardless of his own artillery position, "It's going to kill people, go find the commander in chief!!"

"late…"

When the general heard this, he stood there with a complicated expression, and the telescope in his hand fell to the ground.

"Load it in place!!"

"Load it in place!!"

Under the sound of arrows piercing the air, and under the gazes of countless people, shouts rang out from the front of the Tiger Army outside Tieling East City.

An artilleryman of the Tiger Army holding a torch knelt on one knee beside his flying thunder cannon. Their eyes were so determined! !
"Beep!!!"

"Burning hair!!"

As the sharp military whistle sounded, roars followed, and the artillerymen of the Huben Army holding torches lit their gunpowder twists one by one.

Smoke began to fill the air. "boom!!"

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Accompanied by the constant sound of arrows piercing the air, the sound of bombardment began to sound alternately, but in just a few seconds, the sound became more rapid...

The arrow rain offensive that had been continuously launched towards Tieling East City was gone when this wave of thunder cannons launched its offensive. !
"It didn't explode?! How is this possible!!"

Liang Zhongshan, who was observing the battlefield, saw that the gunpowder packets stuffed into the artillery by the artillerymen under the command of the Huben Army not only did not explode, but instead flew towards the Tieling city wall very quickly. At this moment, Liang Zhongshan felt shocked. Things beyond his cognition happened intuitively before his eyes. Apart from being shocked, he felt crazy! !
"What's going on!"

"Why didn't it explode?"

"This is impossible!"

"Did I read that correctly?!"

What was even more shocking than Liang Zhongshan were the generals and artillerymen scattered in the artillery formations outside Tieling East City. Their years of experience with artillery were completely shattered at this moment! !

In particular, the Armament Clearance Department in Beijing developed a set of standards, such as the installation of gun lists for light and medium-sized artillery, clear shooting angles, secret positions, rulers, etc., as the Huben Army launched a round of battle outside Tieling East City. Regarding artillery fire, do many people think that the artillery they played with earlier was fake?
In order to speed up the development and breakthrough of artillery, the Armaments Qingli Department under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu was in Beijing to standardize and develop various types of artillery. In compliance with the emperor's will, some aspects of artillery were explored. All of this was done in order to Increase the power of artillery on the battlefield!
Just to achieve this fundamental goal, a group of heroes headed by Song Yingxing, with the assistance of the artillery major of the Royal Military Academy, launched many batches of artillery test firings in order to find out a set of artillery weapons. Complete system! !
Even during this period, the Armed Forces Clearing Department sent personnel to battlefields in Liaodong, Sichuan and Guizhou, etc., followed batches of participating armies to summarize, and hurriedly reported various summarized situations to Beijing.

Promoting reform through war is by no means an empty phrase. Just to achieve this strategic plan, Zhu Youxiao did not know how much money he spent in various fields! !

"Boom boom boom..."

Deafening explosions rang out in the mid-air and even above Tieling East City. The air waves generated by the explosions impacted the surroundings, and countless fragments and marbles were even shot out in the smoke generated by the explosions...

"Hurry up and clean up the gunpowder residue!!"

"The artillery crew returns to position!"

"hurry up!!"

"Fill the gunpowder!!"

"Damn you, be careful, I want your fucking chest to explode!!"

"Gunpowder twist loading..."

Under such commotion, shouts were heard one after another at the Huben Army line outside the East City. The artillerymen in charge of the flying thunder cannons were busy under the shouts of their generals.

"In two rounds at most, this Tieling East City will be destroyed!!"

Ma Xianglin, who was observing the city wall, saw the gunpowder smoke hovering in the air, and clenched his hanging hands tightly, "Send flags to Liang Zhongshan's troops in the East City, and ask the flag soldiers left behind to convey military orders to the generals and continue the arrow rain offensive!" !”

"Here!!"

The flag soldiers beside Ma Xianglin immediately roared in response, then raised the two command flags in their hands and waved the command flags towards the rear of their own formation.

"Hu Ben's military flag order, keep up the arrow rain offensive!! Hurry!!"

"Hu Ben's military flag order, keep up the arrow rain offensive!! Hurry!!"

The flag carriers of the Huben Army stationed everywhere, after seeing the flag signals issued by their own formation, ran towards the top general of their respective fronts one by one.

The shock and impact caused by the Tiger and Ben troops going into battle not only affected the artillery under Liang Zhongshan, but also had a great impact on other arms.

"The future life is terrible!!"

As a new round of arrow rain started, Liang Zhongshan raised his telescope to observe the east city of Tieling and said with a complicated expression: "The Tiger Ben Army is indeed the emperor's own army!!!"

When the generals gathered around Liang Zhongshan heard what their commander-in-chief said, they all looked at the Tiger Army front with complicated expressions...
