Kai Fu Han

Chapter 254
These two types of artillery shells were extremely effective in killing enemy soldiers, causing a brief gap in the enemy's offensive.

Let’s not talk about the shotguns. Liu Zhimu designed the shells in a unique way. The front-end trigger fuze could not be produced for the time being. Finally, a "wooden disk" fuze was installed inside the shell.

The wooden disc fuse is not really made of wood. It just borrows the principle of the wooden disc fuse and uses a disc-shaped fuse pressed with iron sheets.

When the propellant pushes the shell out of the barrel, it also ignites the iron plate fuze at the bottom of the shell. The burning fuze advances along the channel of the iron plate and enters the shell after one breath (6 seconds), igniting the fuse inside the shell. Explosives.

The exterior of the cannonball was marked with lines in advance, and the explosive also contained some iron nails, iron pieces and other debris.

The pattern allows the shell of the shell to be broken apart better, increasing the lethality. The iron nails and pieces of iron thrown out by the explosion of the explosive can clear out living creatures within a certain range.

The moment I remembered the sound of artillery, there was an earth-shaking scream in front of the low wall of the trench. Any place swept by shotguns and cleared by explosive shells was like a boulder thrown into a lake of blood. Life was in danger in the face of such a powerful weapon. Too fragile, hundreds of Jurchen Tatars fell to the ground covered in blood.

Most of the Puppet Qi-Han Army and Jurchen Tatars who were hit died as soon as they fell to the ground. There were also a few lucky or unfortunate ones who survived for a while and were twisting and struggling in a pool of blood!

The Pseudo Qi-Han Army and the Jurchen Tatars who were charging forward were completely stunned by this scene. The enemy's formation, which was originally charging the trench defense line with great momentum, was suddenly stagnated like a fast horse that was suddenly pulled on the reins.

With the support of artillery, the defense of the first trench was obviously stabilized.

Boom!Boom!Boom! …

boom!boom!boom! …

Musket fire and artillery fire were sounded at intervals, interspersed with crossbow arrows fired by the logistics troops.

The enemy troops who wanted to attack from both sides were also blocked by the [-]th Infantry Battalion.

"Come on! Kill the Tatars! Kill the traitors!"

The musketeers who retreated to the second trench charged back with bayonets attached to their guns.

Liu Xinqi, who had killed an unknown number of enemies, knew that this was because he had run out of gunpowder and could only engage in melee combat with bayonets.

This wave of charging was extremely fierce, and the enemy troops who had rushed into the first trench were immediately pushed back.

"Courage is also needed in the battle of husband and wife. With one effort, it will be weakened again, and exhausted three times. The other is exhausted and the other is filled, so we restrain it."

The enemy army lost consecutive battles tonight, and the entire camp that was hit by the impact retreated at once, and morale plummeted.

Seeing that a huge rout was about to occur, the enemy general immediately ordered his troops to retreat.The gold was raised in time, and the enemy troops managed to maintain their last bit of morale and retreated in an organized manner.

"Stop chasing!" Liu Xinqi ordered, recalling his own officers and soldiers who wanted to pursue him.

The number of soldiers of the Xinghan League was too small, and the muskets had no ammunition. Coupled with the lack of terrain advantages and artillery support, the field battle was bound to suffer heavy losses.

The enemy still has a large number of reserve troops that have not been put into the battlefield. If they pursue closely, they may be betrayed.

"Will they come again?" Liu Xinang, who retreated, asked while wiping the long knife in his hand.

"This attack was all done by Han troops from the Qi Dynasty. The Jin soldiers did not rush forward, so I am not sure whether they will attack again." Liu Xinqi replied.

The third time they charged into battle, all the golden soldiers were in the role of supervising the battle and did not come forward to engage in close combat.

The first sneak attack, the second shield defense, and the third shield vehicle defense, Xinghan League has been almost explored by the opponent. If there is a fourth offensive, it must be an offensive and defensive attack, such as catapults, fire attacks, etc. They must all be here.

"Leader, look, there seems to be trouble in the camp opposite." Liu Zhimu pulled Liu Xinqi who was thinking.

Liu Xinqi looked across and could see from a distance that the camp opposite was bursting with flames, lighting up half of the night sky.

"It's done!" Liu Xinqi secretly said. …

The time goes back to Haishi on November [-]th.

After Jiao Rui and Liu Xinyuan left the headquarters, they immediately returned to the station and led [-] soldiers northward out of the defensive position.

The 32 people went all out, not much slower than the horses.

Half an hour later, they bypassed the huge camp of the Jin-Qi coalition and arrived at the rear of the camp.

Several carts were found on the official road between Huang County and Yingzhai.

"Master Gu asked us to just send him here." The Huang County government official who was guarding the cart reported to Liu Xinyuan. Liu Xinyuan had been following Gu Yi recently, so everyone in the county government basically knew him.

"Okay, where's the seal?"

"it's here."

The yamen officer took out an envelope and identification certificate from his chest pocket and handed them to Liu Xinyuan.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, you can go back."

Time was running out, and Liu Xinyuan was not interested in being polite. He took the seal and arranged for the soldiers to hand over the cart and then directly let the delivery officials return.

Several government officials also knew that there must be something fishy and secret in these things, so they didn't dare to ask or talk more, so they immediately turned around and returned after the handover was completed.

"Let's go."

32 people pressed two carts and walked towards the Jinqi coalition camp.

"What's in it?" Jiao Rui asked, he only knew that the two cars would contain some valuables, so that they could slip into the vicinity of the camp of the Chinese army.

"Good wine, good meat, and some money." Liu Xinyuan replied.

"You are so bold. This is quite valuable, yet you dare to let these government officials escort it."

"These people are Gu Yi's confidants and are trustworthy, and their families are all under Gu Yi's control. As for safety issues, if these people are robbed by the Jin-Qi coalition, they will tell them that it is for General Liu and Wanyan The general’s gift is still very safe.”

The 32 people sped up and hurried on, and the two carts were pulled very fast, and soon they arrived in front of the camp gate.

Liu Xinyuan stepped forward to show his seal and negotiate with the guards at the camp gate. The guards originally did not agree that the items should be sent directly to the Chinese Army, but requested that they be sent to the logistics camp. However, Liu Xinyuan repeatedly emphasized that this was a gift from the Huang County Magistrate and needed to be given directly to Liu Xinyuan. lion.Finally, part of the bedding was lifted, revealing the wine jar and money before being placed near the camp.

In order to show his courtesy, the head of the guard also arranged for a deputy to lead the way.

"You don't need to lead the way at all." Jiao Rui whispered.

"It's just because everything is going well for the time being. If something happens, it will be necessary." Liu Xinyuan replied angrily.

Then he signaled Jiao Rui to stop talking to avoid causing trouble.

There were enemy soldiers leading the way. The 32 people were all wearing Huang County military uniforms, and their weapons and equipment were hidden in the cart. The cart was full of wine, meat and money. Everyone arrived outside the Chinese army's tent smoothly.

"You guys wait here, I'll go in and report."
