5 Bombing the Tartars

"Bang!"

A cannonball roared across the Yangzhou city wall and landed into the Qing army formation at a speed of 1,800 meters/s, exploded and blossomed.

After landing, a fireball formed instantly, with a radius of about three meters. There were about a dozen Qing soldiers covered by the fireballs, and they were instantly burned to charred corpses.

The impact wave formed by the gunpowder explosion covers a radius of about twenty meters. Most of the Qing army within this range were shocked to roar with their ears. In severe cases, the five internal organs were burned and bleeding from their mouths and noses.

Accompanied by the shock waves, countless steel beads and small steel arrows in the shell casing exploded in the posture of a celestial girl scattering flowers and flew in all directions. All the Qing army hit by the armor was broken, the skin was blooming, and the flesh was blurred.

This shell fell into the dense Qing army formation, killing at least fifty people, and injured no less than fifty people.

Sadu and other Qing generals who were commanding not far away were shocked and their glasses in their hands fell to the ground: "Damn it, what's going on?"

Some Qing army generals thought it was a red-clothed cannon that exploded, and cursed: "Grandma, was it because the cannon barrel that exploded? It seems that at least a dozen brothers died."

"Bang!"

Another shell flew into the Qing army formation and landed next to the squatted red cannon. The red cannon that was ready to go was dismembered, the barrel of the cannon was deformed, and the two wheels flew out.

The Qing army, who were about to fill shells around the red-clothed cannon, had no time to scream, and the remaining limbs of the bomb flew away, and in an instant, fifty or sixty people were killed or injured.

Sadu and a group of Qing generals reacted this time, and almost exclaimed at the same time: "Oh...no, this is the Ming army's shells! Flying out of the city!"

Before Sadu finished speaking, another shell roared over and landed about ten meters behind him.

The huge explosion shattered his eardrums, rolling his internal organs, and a mouthful of blood gushed out along his throat. His whole body was surrounded by heat waves, and he felt that his whole body was almost about to be roasted.

Raindrop-like steel balls came one after another, hitting Sadu's eyebrows and cheeks, piercing his armor, drilling into his body, internal organs, and flying all over...

The aggressive Qing army was completely stunned by the bombing and they all hugged their heads and lay on the ground: "No, General Sadu was killed by the bombing!"

The Ming army on the northern city wall struggled to support the fierce artillery fire of the Qing army. Seeing that it was about to be defeated, the monk was confused by the sudden change, and they all subconsciously stopped the movements in their hands.

The Ming army's artillery range was limited and could only shoot up to about one thousand meters at most, and it could not threaten the core position of the Qing army's artillery.

But at this moment, they witnessed the successive artillery shells flying into the Qing army formation, killing countless enemies, blowing up the Qing army's red-clothed cannons, killing the Qing army artillery commander, blowing away the Qing army's commander flag, and blowing up the Qing army's corpses flying all over the sky...

This shell is not only long-range, but also amazingly powerful.

When they were hit by the shells of the red-clothed cannon, there were at least five or six people and as many as more than a dozen people. The number of "explosive groups" formed by the shells flying out of the city was probably about a hundred people.

Within the explosion range, blood flowed into a river, and no one could complete the corpse.

The Ming army on the city wall was boiling and raised their weapons to cheer.

"It was the shell fired by the iron armored beast!"

"That iron-armored beast is his own person and a friendly army of our Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Zhaoji, who was commanding the battle, did not care about the blood on his face, raised the telescope with a broken lens in his hand and looked out of the city. He was deeply shocked when he witnessed the heavy casualties of the Qing army.

"This, this... the shells fired by this iron-armored beast are simply bolt from the blue, and their power is no less than thunder from the sky!

Five shells fell into the Jiannu formation, with hundreds of casualties, nearly ten artillery damage, and several enemy generals died. This... Is this the God Blessing of the Ming Dynasty?"

"I'll take a look!"

Deputy General Zhuang Zigu took the telescope from Liu Zhaoji's hand and was also deeply shocked when he saw the clear scene of casualties. The corpses all over the ground were in a mess, which made Zhuang Zigu, the powerful general, fearful.

"Damn it, this shell is so powerful. If we blow up our city walls, we will just come up with just a dozen shots, and I'm afraid that Yangzhou City will not be able to be protected!"

Chen Yujie, the "Architecture Advisor" next to him, was the nephew of former Cabinet Minister Xu Guangqi. He loved invention since he was a child and was immersed in the artillery industry for many years. Many red-clothed cannons from the Ming Dynasty came from him.

After the fall of BJ, Chen Yujie fled to Nanjing to join Shi Kefa. He was valued and promoted to "Ministry of War" to be responsible for the artillery of the Southern Ming army. At this moment, he was following Liu Zhaoji to defend the city wall.

After hearing the amazement of Liu Zhaoji and Zhuang Zigu, Chen Yujie silently took out his own small telescope from his arms and looked into the Qing army formation, and was shocked.

"Hiss... Chen has been studying artillery for forty years, and even visited the Red Barbarians entrenched in GD. Such artillery is unheard of!"

Liu Zhaoji put away the telescope and ordered his personal soldiers around him: "Check out where the armored beast comes from immediately? Is there someone controlled it? Who is the controller?"

"yes!"

The soldier agreed and turned away.

Lin Yu controlled Mekava and fired five shells. He didn't know how many Qing troops had killed. Anyway, the Qing troops outside the city were densely packed, so he guessed that he could kill one or two hundred people, right?

What surprised Lin Yu was that after five shells went down, the Qing army outside the northern city wall almost stopped attacking, and there was no more gunfire sound, only sporadic gunshots and scattered arrows flew to the top of the city.

However, there were still rumbling cannons outside the three walls on the east, west and south. Although the Qing army, who was unknown, was frightened by the extraordinary explosion, did not stop attacking and continued to attack under the command of their respective generals.

"Grandma, I won't cry until I see you, and I'll hit you five times when I see you!"

Lin Yu, who was sitting in the cockpit, immediately clicked on the screen, turned the cannon barrel to the east, clicked the launch button, and five grenades roared out of the city wall and landed in the Qing army formation.

Wherever the shells arrived, people were overturned, flesh and blood flew everywhere, artillery was destroyed, ghosts were howling, and there were at least three or four hundred casualties.

In the face of huge lethality, Greena, the deputy commander of the Qing army who was responsible for attacking the East City Wall, hurriedly ordered the attack to stop, investigate what was going on first, and sent someone to report to the artillery battalion leader Nikanbele.

The main function of the tank is positional attack, so the range is not too far, and the Mekava tank controlled by Lin Yu has a range of only about three kilometers.

Lin Yu is only a few hundred meters away from the East City Gate and not far from the North City Wall, so he can easily attack the Qing army in the east and north directions.

Yangzhou City is vast and majestic, with a length of more than twenty miles from east to west and seven or eight miles from north to south. However, Lin Yu did not dare to fire artillery in the south in both directions to prevent shells from falling into the city and injuring innocent people.

The Ming army's inquiry sounded from the city wall: "Dare you ask who is in the iron armored beast? General Liu asked you to come out and talk, are you my Ming soldiers inside?"

"In the future, whether I am lucky draw or buying supplies from the store, I will need gold coins. If others feel emotional about me, I, Lin Yu, become famous."

Lin Yu thought of this and immediately opened the cockpit and crawled out, whispering: "I am the deputy guard Lin Yulin Town!"

Lin Yu's position was deputy garrison in Yangzhou, and he was only gained by Shi Kefa's glory. He was insignificant among the generals and officials in Yangzhou City, and there were not many soldiers who knew him.

However, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the son-in-law of the Yangzhou governor, the name Lin Yulin Zhenjiang is well-known among the Yangzhou defenders.

"So it's Mr. Lin, it's so great!"

"Young Master Lin is mighty, where did you get the iron-armored beast? Could it be that Tianyou Daming?"

"Young Master Lin Shenwu, it depends on you whether you can defend Yangzhou City. I hope you will attack Jiannu and avenge your brothers!"
