Chapter 2327: Who is the king of the fire dragon's roar, long-range shooting, scaring the monk
The 24-pound flowering bullet that exploded was broken into countless pieces of ammunition of all sizes.
They made a sharp scream under the push of gunpowder and pierced their heads towards the target without mercy.
At the place where the shells exploded, countless Mongolian army trenchers were blown away by shock waves, and the trenchers fragments splashed around in an instant! With the place where each shell exploded as the center, a sea of blood immediately became a sea of blood within the twenty or thirty meters of the surrounding area! The wooden structure of the trenchers made a "crunching" sound, and they moaned and broke and fell.
A large number of broken limbs and broken human organs were blown into the air, and the Mongolian army's catapult position was in chaos!... "Drop the stone bombs! Counterattack them!"
At this time, the Mongolian army commander Zhalaer saw the scene in front of him, and his eyes immediately turned bloody! When he saw the hole of a black cannon on the top of the city, he knew that this battle was probably not easy.
In fact, after Bolu's crushing defeat in Laotieshan, all the generals of the Mongolian army had an extremely complicated mood about this artillery.
On the one hand, they were shocked by the power of enemy artillery and felt that these things fell into the hands of their opponents. They really didn't know what their Changshengtian thought.
On the other hand, some people can hardly describe the huge lethality of this kind of artillery in their minds when they are imagining.
So they were both disbelief, contempt and disdainful in their hearts.
I always feel that one day after seeing it with my own eyes, this weapon that made Bolu describe as if he was a god's punishment from the sky might be like this.
But this time, Zhalaer finally saw the terrifying power of this weapon with his own eyes!... In later generations, it is not unreasonable that artillery was called the King of War.
For a long time after the emergence of the artillery, the caliber and range of the artillery were representative indicators of the combat effectiveness of an army.
Even Otto von Bismarck, the first prime minister of the German Empire, known as the iron-blooded prime minister, once said: "Axioms and justice are only within the range of the cannon!"
From this we can see how unreliable this matter is to use a catapult to shoot at the cannon! So, the commander of the Mongolian army, Zhalaer, also finally understood why General Bolu showed such strange expressions on his face every time he talked about such artillery.
Because this is a weapon that they find difficult to understand and cannot accept in their hearts no matter how it is! So when the shells explode in his position, Zhalaer knew it clearly.
If this powerful weapon continues to be fired and let it rage on its own trencher position, he will completely fail this time! So Zalar ordered the trencher to fire stone bombs into the city without hesitation, trying to destroy the opponent's powerful weapon.
Under his command, the catapults that were ready for projection and were not damaged by artillery fire immediately made a heavy whistling sound, shooting stone bombs up the city.
...When Monk Wanyan Chen and the others arrived on the north city wall, they saw twenty or thirty huge stones roaring at them as soon as they showed up! The three people were immediately scared to shrink their necks... Then they saw General Shi Baoying in the city with his hands on his back, standing high above the city, pulling his waist straight like an iron spear! Seeing this scene, the three people gritted their teeth and looked down at the city.
At this time, the stone bullets had already thumped on Nanjing City.
But at a distance of 500 meters, it is not easy to hit the top of the three-meter-wide city wall with a catapult?
The people on the city saw some of the huge rocks hit the facade of the city walls, making a thunderous sound.
Some of them roared over their heads and kept shooting into Nanjing City.
There were even a few closest stones that smashed the battlements of the city wall like a destruction.
Then they jumped for a while and rolled over! But just as these stone bullets flew over the air, Monk Wanyan Chen and the others were surprised to see that the Tongzhou artillery soldiers were not even raising their heads! Their movements were orderly, agile and fast.
Each member of the gun team was clearing the chamber and loading the ammunition, restoring the cannon, but no one paid attention to the huge rock passing by.
Then, the gunners raised their right hands next to their artillery and made a gesture of "firing ready to be completed".
Shi Baoying immediately ordered the second round of attacks on the city.
This time, all twenty-four artillery pieces were ready. When they aimed at the target, they immediately shot the shells at the enemy.
Under the surprised gaze of Wanyan Chen and the others, the guns were seen as the deafening sound of the cannons, with the deafening sound of cannons, the heavy cannon body jumped violently on the ground like a bean on the snare drum! Then the cannon body was violently seated, exhausted its recoil on the parabolic gun stand, and returned to its original position under the action of gravity.
At the same time, the twenty-four artillery shells that were out of the borehole rushed towards the Mongolian army's catapults! The Mongolian army's catapults line was once again caused by these artillery shells to make a tide of blood and fire!... Monk Chen and his friends saw that the shells were 160 feet apart, which was more than five arrows apart, but the shells arrived in an instant! Then, the Mongolian army's catapult positions were blown up and overturned.
A large number of wooden components were blown up and then flew into the sky, including a large number of Mongolian military armor and limbs.
A large area of enemy troops on the ground was instantly swept down by shrapnel. The enemy's catapult swayed and groaned under the violent explosion, and fell to pieces. The entire enemy position was like a boiling furnace with blood and fire! "My... mother!"
At this time, Monk Wanyan Chen felt his heart beating "bangdong" sound.
He widened his eyes and looked at the scene in the distance with rapid breathing.
The extremely powerful weapon of the Tongzhou Army has caused the killing effect in the Mongolian army camp that has completely confused the Great Jin general! Once upon a time, they were still so powerful that they could not raise their heads by the catapult under the city.
Every time a stone shot like a heavy rain would cause tragic deaths and injuries to the soldiers.
But now, compared with the artillery of the Tongzhou Army, these catapults are like children's things! Before this, Monk Wanyan Chen felt that he had tens of thousands of enemies in his hands, and he had already made him extremely powerful.
He even felt that as long as the number of enemies of ten thousand people was enough, he would have the confidence to stick to this Nanjing city forever in front of the Mongolians.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately thought of shockedly.
If these artillery were not on their own city, but on the location of the Mongolian army's catapult under the city... what a miserable scene would it be in Nanjing at this time?
