Iron gun Yang Tiexin

Compared with the artillery of the Song Dynasty, the artillery of the Yingzhou Army was much smaller.

Due to the limitations of ironmaking and gunpowder technology, the artillery technology of the Song Dynasty was relatively rough.

In order to pursue the power of artillery, they had to develop these things in the direction of stupidity and blackness.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, when the Yuan army went south to the south of the Yangtze River, the guard of Jingjiang Mansion led 250 soldiers to ignite a big iron fireball to die for the country when the city was broken.

The exact size of the big iron ball is unknown, but it is said that the thickness of its iron shell is as high as one inch! [

Although the artillery of Xue Ji's firearms battalion is not so exaggerated, it still takes a rough route.

Although such a large-caliber artillery is powerful, it is also troublesome, not to mention heavy and unsuitable for handling, and it often causes problems.

For example, the accuracy is not enough, charging is troublesome, and heat dissipation is also a problem. Due to the limited level of cast iron, once the gunpowder is loaded too hard, it is not uncommon to explode and boring.

It is precisely because of this that this kind of large artillery could not be popularized in the Song army, and it was generally only used for city defense.

The Song Army's conventional firearms are mainly rockets and flamethrowers.

The so-called rocket is to tie a bamboo tube firecracker in the middle of the arrow shaft. As for the flamethrower, a bamboo flamethrower is added to the ordinary wooden spear.

Although the two weapons are considered firearms, their power is limited and they can be used repeatedly, so their effects are limited when the two armies are confronting each other.

Compared with the clumsy artillery of the Song Army, although the firearms of the Yingzhou Army developed late, due to the clear research direction, a development strategy of standardization, refinement, and miniaturization was established early on.

Although the artillery technology of Yingzhou Island has been flawed so far, compared with the artillery of the Song Army, it is obviously much stronger in terms of range, power, and convenience.

While the soldiers of the Song Army Artillery Battalion were still busy filling gunpowder barrels, that side was at the head of Hangzhou City.Now that all the cannons were fired, hundreds of rounds of cannons were crushed to cover the Song Army's artillery positions.

This time when they went to Hangzhou, Yang Tiexin's troops had a hundred large warships and a thousand cannons.

Now Yang Tiexin ordered half of the cannons to be dismantled and moved to Hangzhou City, which was also [-] pieces of artillery.

And this was facing the direction of Song Army's main camp, Yang Tiexin arranged two hundred artillery pieces in one go.

The overall performance is quite good.Coupled with the convenience of being condescending, the Yingzhou Army's firing almost enveloped the Song Army's artillery battalion and its surrounding guards.

The first shot hit the Song army's position. In addition to the well-trained Yingzhou artillery, the short distance and enough artillery of the Yingzhou army were also very important factors.

But after hearing the rumbling sound of earth-shattering explosions.The [-] troops at the front of the Song Army were bombed to pieces on the spot, with many casualties.Although the remaining ones escaped by chance, most of them were dizzy, their ears were ringing, and their eyes were blackened by the huge explosion.

As for the Song army artillery that was given special attention, there was an exception, which was blown up to ashes in the artillery fire.Coupled with the subsequent gun sacrifices, the entire artillery battalion and its surroundings were within a range of [-] feet.None of them saved a complete human form.

After seeing the success of the first shot, the morale of the Yingzhou army was greatly boosted, and the second round of design began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

After three rounds of volleys, the [-] troops in the front of the Song Army had completely lost their formation.Those who survived in the end were only three or four out of ten, and most of them were so frightened that they fell to the ground tremblingly, not daring to get up. [

but.Next, the Yingzhou army did not bully these cannon fodder soldiers, but began to extend their artillery fire, aiming at the main force of the Song army behind.

Compared with the longest range of the Song Army's artillery, which was only two miles, the range of the Yingzhou Army's artillery was obviously much longer. The farthest was seven or eight miles, and the effective range was four to five miles.

But this time Xue Ji felt that he was sure of victory, and the main force was all at the front.It is very close to Hangzhou City, but it happens to be within the range of Yingzhou artillery.

As a result, as soon as the Yingzhou army started to extend its artillery fire this time, these Song army gates were a disaster.

Before the Song army recovered from the shock of the vanguard being wiped out, the artillery of the Yingzhou army had already penetrated viciously into the main formation of the Song army.

After another round of three salvos.The Song army's formation was completely disrupted, and the injured sergeant cried and shouted for his father and mother, rushing here and there.Those who were lucky enough not to be bombed were all panicked, anxious like dogs that lost their homes, and hurried like fish that slipped through the net, lest they were too slow and the guns would fall on their own heads.

The imperial army in the Song Dynasty was not of high quality, and it would be even worse if they were in chaos now.Tens of thousands of troops shoved each other, clashed left and right, and contradicted back and forth. After tossing for a long time, they didn't run a few steps away.

There was that ferocious person, seeing the cannons flying over the city of Hangzhou getting more and more fierce, he simply became ruthless, drew his knife directly, and started attacking his former robes.

As the lord of the three armies, Xue Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, had pretty good luck.Xue Ji didn't suffer any injuries until the three artillery rounds from the Yingzhou Army passed by, but he was quite frightened.

As early as when Shangpu fired the cannon in Hangzhou City, Xue Ji's war horse began to be frightened and kicked.

Thanks to the guards around Xue Ji, they restrained the frightened horse in time and caught Xue Dashangshu who had rolled off the horse.

But just as Xue Ji straightened up from his shock, the Song Army's artillery pieces had already begun to cover the Song Army's brigade.

Being so frightened that his heart was thumping wildly, Xue Ji couldn't care less about commanding the three armies, so he shrank his neck and hid in the heavy guards of the guards at the first moment.

Fortunately, Xue Ji hid fast enough, because Xue Ji just hid in the blink of an eye, and a cannon exploded about a foot away from Xue Ji's side.

As a result, although Xue Ji was not hit by the blast, nearly half of the guards around Xue Ji were killed or injured by this bombardment.

He was dizzy and had cramps in his calves from the sound of the rumbling guns. After a while, Xue Ji barely regained his composure under the pull of the guards. However, Xue Ji's first reaction was not to command the army to retreat, let alone launch a Jedi counterattack, but , Escape by yourself.

In fact, even if Xue Ji wanted to direct, he couldn't.

Because, under this kind of artillery fire that is almost unmatched by manpower, these Song troops have been completely chaotic, trampling and colliding with each other, showing the badness of the human form to the fullest.

The same is true for Xue Ji at this moment, reluctantly commanding less than two hundred personal guards to surround him, Xue Ji's only thought is to quickly hide away from the Hangzhou city!

It's a pity that at this moment, the Song army has become a mess, everyone is struggling for their own lives, how can anyone care about Xue Ji, the master of the three armies!

After several conflicts, Xue Ji's line was always blocked by the surrounding chaos, and Xue Dashangshu finally got really angry.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill all these thieves!" [

With glaring eyebrows, Xue Ji pointed at a group of rebels standing in front of him, and shouted sharply at his guards.

Xue Ji's personal guards are all dead soldiers of the Xue family. He was trained by the Xue family since he was a child, and he has always believed that Xue Ji, the master, is loyal to him.

Now that Xue Ji gave the order, these guards naturally didn't know who was standing in front of them, so they raised their butcher knives and started the bloody slaughter.

As expected of the elite dead soldiers of the Shangshu Mansion, when these guards started to attack, they were full of swords, heads rolled everywhere they passed, and Xue Ji was brought forward by more than one zhang with just one charge.

"Yes! Let's kill like this! These thieves dare to be their own officials! It's against you!"

Seeing the guards killing his sergeants, Xue Ji not only did not feel the slightest sense of guilt, but was quite righteous, with beast blood boiling, and he couldn't help shouting loudly.

After Xue Ji yelled like this, someone finally discovered the abnormality of Xue Ji's small group of disorderly troops.

"Damn it! The officials are killing people!"

"Fuck his mother! The officials are bullying us big soldiers again!"

At the beginning, there were still one or two people muttering and shouting, but officials bullying soldiers, this kind of thing is very popular, and it is easy to arouse the sympathy of those grassroots leaders.

As a result, in less than a quarter of an hour, the news of Xue Ji's murder of his comrade spread throughout the battlefield.

Amidst the shouting and cursing, finally the guy with a strong revolutionary spirit started to open his mind.

"Prince and general, would you rather be kind? Anyway, it's only a death, let's fight this dog official!"

"Yes, fighting this dog official..."

"boom!"

A sergeant had just chanted the slogan when he was hit by a cannon on the top of his head. After a thunderous explosion, the sergeant, along with dozens of sergeants around him, were all dead.

Although there were survivors among the remaining sergeants, they didn't pay much attention to Xue Ji's matter, and then ran to the rear in an even more frenzied posture.

It's a pity that these Song troops were too chaotic. Although most of them fled in the rear camp of the Song troops, conflicts between them were still inevitable.

Although most of the scattered Song soldiers did not dare to attack Xue Ji's "big team" alone, Xue Ji did not escape because of this.

On the contrary, since the other Song armies had basically been scattered, the large group of more than a hundred people under Xue Ji's department seemed very obvious, and as a result, it inevitably attracted the attention of the Yingzhou Artillery Sect.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst a series of muffled sounds, a total of more than ten cannons went straight to Xue Ji's position and enveloped them.

Due to the improvement of the artillery of the Yingzhou Army, not only the power of the gunpowder is much greater, but also the scattering ability of the piece is more than stronger than the artillery of the Song Army. Often, one cannon can cover a space of three or four feet.

At this moment, more than ten cannons arrived, although they were not evenly distributed, they basically covered Xue Ji's pro-army.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was an almost continuous explosion sound, and in the next instant, smoke, dust and fire mist soared into the sky, covering Xue Ji and others. (To be continued.
