Become a feudal king from today

"We can't take it lightly. The lessons of the Iron Wood Tower are right in front of us." Mule Hongzhen looked forward, "We also dug trenches and relied on our strength to slowly fight against them."

Under the guidance of Russian officers, they mastered many tactics.

The current Beidi army no longer fights like before, but has learned to fight like the Westerners.

Coupled with Xitu's muskets and artillery, Beidi is still completely transformed.

"Yes, Khan." After receiving the order, the king of the royal tent returned to his respective armies and ordered the soldiers to dig trenches on the spot.

At this moment, they were about five miles away from the trench of Dasong's army.

From here, they would dig trenches forward until they reached the opponent's trench.

In the end, they launched repeated charges and defeated Dasong's army in Lingwu County.

at the same time.

Mule Hongzhen was observing the trench fortifications in front of Lingwu County.

Bai Shang is also observing the Beidi army.

This time, in order to stop the Beidi army, he dug trenches from the Jin River and extended to the pig's head.

The trench fortifications span five kilometers and are more than 600 meters in length and breadth.

The soldiers were distributed in the vast trench fortifications, and there were also breech-loaded howitzers and rifled guns deployed throughout the trench fortifications.

"They are digging trenches. The Beidi people have learned a lot from the Rus." Bai Shang put down the telescope and said to Huo An beside him.

Now, all four branches of the Central Army obey his orders, and Huo An temporarily becomes his deputy general.

"Can we still let them dig trenches leisurely? How about letting them taste the new howitzer first?" Huo An laughed twice.

Beidi dug a trench five miles away, so he was naturally afraid of their artillery.

But they would never have imagined that their artillery has been updated and can shoot up to ten miles.

"That's for sure." Bai Shang licked his tongue.

The ice and snow made him and the soldiers very cold, and it was all the Beidi people's fault.

How can we make the soldiers feel comfortable if we don't show them some color?

So, he immediately conveyed the order.

This time, the artillery units of the four armies of the Central Army were sent to the battlefield.

This brought their number of howitzers to 480 and rifled guns to 240.

There is such a huge disparity in the numbers of the two types of artillery.

This is because howitzers have become an important force in killing enemy soldiers on the battlefield.

Rifled guns are more about destroying the opponent's artillery positions, and there is no need to install too many.

Soon, Bai Shang's order spread among the artillerymen.

The artillerymen, who had been frozen stiff for a long time, finally got a chance to move.

The artilleryman responsible for observation uses a telescope to determine the distance, and the artilleryman responsible for correction corrects the muzzle angle.

After that, the loader immediately pried open the ammunition box, unscrewed the gun bolt, stuffed the shells in, and screwed on the gun bolt.

"put!"

Everything was ready, and the artilleryman on the right side of the artillery waved the chess piece from top to bottom.

The artilleryman holding the matchlock gave the rope a sharp tug.

The firing pin struck the flash cap in the ammunition, detonating the propellant charge.

With a sound of "Boom.", the snow around the artillery was shaken up, the muzzle flash flashed, and the artillery shells flew towards the Beidi Army five miles away.

After the first howitzer, the remaining howitzers fired.

The shells drew a huge parabola in the sky like raindrops, making a "whooshing" sound of tearing the air.

The Beidi soldiers who were gathering together to dig trenches with tools suddenly heard a "swish" sound.

By the time they raised their heads and looked overhead, it was already too late.

The heavy shell tilted into the soil beneath their feet, and then exploded suddenly.

There was a collective scream, and dozens of Beidi soldiers surrounding the shell were thrown away.

Some artillery shells exploded in the air, and shrapnel fell into the Beidi army like scattered flowers, killing and wounding a large number of soldiers.

"Boom boom boom..."

For a time, explosions continued to sound, and balls of flames rose among the Beidi Army.

Mullerhonzhen was also within the range of howitzer shells at this moment.

When a shell exploded, a chill ran down his spine.

Bamutuo and other kings immediately rushed to his side and surrounded Muller Hongzhen to prevent him from being hurt by shrapnel.

But they also knew that there was nothing they could do to stop the shells from landing right on top of them.

So Bamutuo said, "Khan, get on your horse and leave here immediately. It's too dangerous here."

After saying that, everyone pushed Mulehongzhen onto the horse, and they also got on the horse, escorting Mulehongzhen to evacuate further north.

As they fled the shelling, the shells seemed to have eyes, exploding all around them.

The more they ran, the more frightened they became. They couldn't imagine that Da Song's artillery could shoot so far.

Just when Mulehon really ran away in embarrassment.

In the trench fortifications of the Central Army in Lingwu County, Bai Shang and Huo An looked satisfied.

This satisfaction is naturally for the new howitzer.

On the battlefield, this howitzer not only has an advantage in range.

It also has a great advantage in terms of rate of fire.

The howitzer can fire six rounds in one minute, whereas before, two rounds in one minute was pretty good.

It is for this reason that the bombardment of this bombardment was very dense and could be said to be continuous.

He believed that the Beidi soldiers would suffer heavy casualties during the period when they retreated beyond the range of the artillery.
