Chapter nine hundred and seventy fifth shelling
"We can't take it lightly, the lesson of the Iron Tower is right in front of us." Muller-Honzhen looked forward, "We also dig trenches and rely on our military strength to slowly waste them."
Under the guidance of the officers of the Ross State, they mastered many tactics.
The Beidi army now no longer fights like before, but learns to fight like the Western natives.
Coupled with the muskets and cannons from the West, Beidi was still reborn.
"Yes, Khan." After receiving the order, the king of the tent returned to his respective troops and ordered the soldiers to dig trenches on the spot.
At this moment, they were about five miles away from the trench of the Dasong army.
From here, they will dig the trench forward until they approach the other's trench.
Finally, he repeatedly launched a charge and defeated the Dasong army in Lingwu County.
at the same time.
While Mule Hongzhen was observing the fortifications in front of Lingwu County.
Bai Shang was also observing the Northern Di 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.
The soldiers were distributed in the vast trench fortifications, as well as loaded rear-loaded howitzers and rifled guns, which were deployed in various places in the trench fortifications.
"They are digging trenches, and the Beidi people and Luo Siguo have learned a lot." Bai Shang put down his telescope and said to Huo An beside him.
Now, all the four Central Army troops obeyed his orders, and Huoan temporarily became his deputy general.
"Can they still let them dig trenches leisurely? How about letting them taste the new howitzer first?" Huo An chuckled twice.
Beidi was digging trenches five miles away, so he was naturally afraid of their artillery.
But they would never have thought that their artillery would be updated and the range could reach ten miles.
"This is for sure." Bai Shang licked his tongue.
The snowy and ice made him and his soldiers very cold. It was all the blame for the Beidi people.
How can the soldiers feel comfortable if they don’t give them a little color?
So he immediately conveyed the order.
This time, the artillery of the four Central Army troops was sent to the battlefield.
The number of howitzers of theirs reached 480 and the number of rifled guns reached 240.
The number of the two artillery is so different.
This is because howitzers on the battlefield have become an important force in killing enemy soldiers.
The rifled gun is 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 artillery, which had been frozen for a long time, finally got the opportunity to move.
The artillery responsible for observation uses a telescope to determine the distance, so that the artillery responsible for correction can correct the angle of the muzzle.
After that, the filling force immediately pried open the ammunition box, unscrew the gun bolt, stuffed the shell in, and twisted the gun bolt.
"put!"
Everything was ready, and the artillery on the right side of the artillery waved the pieces from above and down.
The artilleryman who held the ignition pulled the rope violently.
The firing needle hit the fire cap in the ammunition and detonated the launching medicine.
With a "boom.", the snow around the cannon was shaken up, and the fire flashed by the muzzle, and the shells flew into the Beidi army five miles away.
After the first howitzer, the remaining howitzers rang out one after another.
The shells drew a huge parabola in the sky like raindrops, making a "whizz" sound of tearing the air.
The Beidi soldiers who were gathering together to dig trenches with tools suddenly heard the "swoosh" sound.
When they looked up at the top of their heads, it was too late.
The heavy shells tilted into the soil under their feet, and then exploded suddenly.
A collective scream occurred, and dozens of Beidi soldiers around the shells were blown away.
Some shells exploded in the air, and shrapnel fell into the Beidi army like shrapnel, killing and injuring a large number of soldiers.
"Boom boom boom..."
For a moment, explosions kept ringing, and clusters of flames emerged among the Beidi army.
Mullehnzhen is also within the bombardment range of howitzer shells at this moment.
When a shell exploded, his back couldn't help but feel cold.
Bamutuo and other kings immediately rushed to him and surrounded Mulehonzhen to prevent him from being damaged by shrapnel.
But they also knew that they could not stop the shells from falling on their heads.
So Bamutao said, "Khan, get on the horse and leave here immediately. It's too dangerous."
After saying that, everyone pushed Mulehnzhen onto the horse, and they also got on to the horse, escorting Mulehnzhen to evacuate further north.
As they escaped the shells, the shells seemed to have eyes and kept exploding around them.
They became more and more frightened as they ran. They could not imagine that Da Song's artillery could hit so far.
Just when Mullehnzhen ran away in a panic.
In the Central Army trenches fortifications in Lingwu County, Bai Shang and Huo An showed a satisfied look.
This satisfaction is naturally for the new howitzer.
On the battlefield, this howitzer not only has an advantage in range.
The rate of fire also has great advantages.
In one minute, the howitzer can shoot six shells, and before, it would be nice to shoot two shots in one minute.
It is precisely for this reason that the bombardment rains were very dense and can be said to be continuous.
He believed that the Beidi soldiers would suffer considerable casualties during the period when they retreated beyond the range of the artillery.
