Since the Ming army left Datong Town and entered the grassland, the artillery carried by the Huwei Army artillery played a huge role, but several artillery pieces never fired.

These three cannons have not fired. Although they did not fire, the three cannons that cost the most human and animal power during transportation were the three cannons. Thanks to the fact that the Huwei Army used soft leather ropes to connect pack horses, which could discharge many horses on the column, a total of sixteen strong horses.

Even an ordinary single-horse and double-wheeled cart can transport goods of about 600 to 800 kilograms. How much does it weigh if a sixteen horse can drag a strong horse?

In addition to the many horses used, the gun mounts and gun vans carrying these three cannons also have spare ones, which are specially dragged by several horses. This gun van is just an iron chassis with large iron wheels or wooden wheels. One gun is equipped with one set, and each of these three cannons is equipped with two sets.

It is also troublesome to move on the road. At this time, the weather was severe and the north was extremely dry. The road surface was hard, but it was even crushed by the wheels of the cannon truck. When it encountered potholes, it was either paved with prepared wooden boards or pushed by humans. Fortunately, it also walked along the way.

After the captives of the Tartars were cleaned up under the city of Guihua, the three cannons were dragged forward, and the Cube became the focus of the entire Ming army. Not to mention the soldiers from Jizhen and Datong, even the soldiers of the Huwei Army were paying attention.

About 260 steps away from the city, it is the artillery position of the Shuwei Army. The sixteen horses dragged by the horses are very long, so it is impossible to make the horses too prominent. If stone bullets or mud bullets are fired in the city and disturb the horses, it will be troublesome.

So the artillery stopped in front of the position, and the soldiers began to move forward and drag. A group of people shouted horns and pushed the artillery towards the calibrated position.

Most of the artillery soldiers of the Huwei Army were already guarding their own artillery positions. Many of the artillery soldiers here were from Jizhen. They were also full of enthusiasm and were full of expectations. Such artillery was obviously the last artillery that was taken out. What kind of power did it have?

At this time of the battle, the Ming army soldiers were no longer nervous. Someone was talking loudly while pushing the cannon: "This cannon weighs ten thousand pounds, and there are almost hundreds of brothers coming!"

Someone pushed the cannon directly, and some tied the rope to the cannon to drag it. A more mature man replied loudly: "If there are tens of thousands of horses, I'm afraid it won't be able to drag it. There are still a few thousand pounds. Tsk tsk, look at the cannons made by Tianjin Wei, and look at them. Look at our cannons, it's worse!"

"I helped move the shells a few days ago, and the shells cost about ten pounds!"

"The twelve people from their imperial guards are called twelve jin cannons. It's amazing. Our general cannons are just about 10 jin shells."

"When will we have such artillery?"

"I heard from the above that when I go back to Jizhen this time, I will buy some cannons from Tianjin Wei!"

The artillery gradually landed, and the artillery of the Huwei Army began to clean the barrel and load the bullets. The fires loaded by the Huwei Army were all wrapped in cotton cloth. All cannons of any caliber are quantified. After cleaning the barrel, they directly stuffed the cloth bag, then loaded the shells, and then tamped them with wooden sticks: nearly thirty cannons with more than six kilograms were aimed at the wall facing the trench that had just filled, and the rest of the cannons were prepared at any time.

Behind the artillery positions, the infantry of each army retreated for a distance. The generals shouted and asked them to line up and stand by, and the cavalry also avoided it. Wang Tong and the personal soldiers of the generals at all levels rode horses across the teams, shouting and asking everyone to block their ears when firing the artillery. The cavalry also got the order early. The cavalry blocked the ears of their mounts with cloth strips, and their ears were also blocked with cotton balls.

At such a long distance, what effect can the cannons hit the city wall? Moreover, it is winter. At most, it will be broken out of the wall bricks outside, and the rammed earth is still strong, and the defenders on the top of the city are hiding behind the marching gates.

Cannons under six kilograms were shot into wooden wedges in the middle of the cannon stand, raising the muzzle. If someone pays attention, it will appear that the three kilogram cannon's injection volume has also increased a little.

Wang Tong checked the cloth strips on his mount's ears and said, "Yang Jin doesn't believe that he can enter the city today. He will believe it later. Send an order! Fire a cannon!!"

He gave a loud order, and the personal soldiers around him waved the red flag to send a message. Mu En and Zhang Wu's eyes were always looking here. Seeing the red flag slashed, Mu En and Zhang Wu looked at each other, and Mu En shouted loudly: "Are all the cannons ready?"

Starting from the periphery, the small cannon captain next to each cannon began to report in sequence. Mu En said loudly again: "Remember to cover his ears. After being deaf, you can't hear such a pleasant movement!"

Everyone laughed in unison, Mu En took a breath and shouted at the top of his throat: "Fire the fire!!"

"Fire the fire!!!" "Fire the fire!!!"

The sounds passed one after another, and the artillery soldiers approached the bow with the burning iron nails. The only way to kill the Shenyang factory, the world seemed to be quiet in this time.

A "boom..."

I don’t know that the artillery next to the cannon moves faster, I don’t know that the cannon fires first, and the cannon group roars violently.

Even if you cover your ears and block them, you can hear this shocking sound, and the horses are shaking and running around and neighing.

The ground seemed to be shaking, and some artillery soldiers in the artillery array could not even control their balance. They sat directly on the ground, covering their ears with their hands and dared not leave, and fell in a very embarrassed manner.

The infantry behind, the cavalry and cavalry near the front row, stared at the city wall in front with wide eyes, wanting to see what the effect of such an amazing shelling would be.

The smoke filled the gunpowder and nothing could be seen. Everyone's ears were buzzing and they could hear nothing. They just felt that the battlefield was extremely quiet and it took a while to recover.

There was wind on the battlefield, and the smoke in front of the city wall was quickly blown away by the wind. During this process, everyone also saw the appearance of the city wall being bombarded.

The upper half of the city wall was already incomplete, as if some giant beast had bitten a bite in the air. In fact, at such a height, the infantry could already climb and attack.

A burst of cheers suddenly broke out from the Ming army formation, but Mu En, who covered his ears, frowned. He stared at the direction of the city wall and said to himself: "The location of the muzzle is wrong, and the medicine for the twelve kilograms of cannons is less!!"

"The artillery that suppresses the city wall continues to fire, add 12 kilograms of cannons and four liang of medicine, and the rest of the cannons are ready, and the second round of heavy artillery is still a volley!!"

The cheers of the soldiers behind him, but the destruction of the city wall made the artillery's morale immediately rise. While roaring, they quickly loaded the bullets.

It is much easier to load light guns on both wings of the artillery array. Their second round was already started. The raised gun mouths hit the shells as much as possible. The defenders behind the suppressed warheads could not even raise their heads. Many artillery fired ranges were not enough, but the shells fell on the bricks and splashed the debris, so they dared not let people appear.

In fact, there were not many people living on the city walls on both sides of the gap. The volley of dozens of artillery guns was extremely trembling on the city wall. Some people were directly shaken off the city wall, and even killed on the city wall.

"fire!!!"

The roaring orders came out one after another, and everyone hurriedly covered their ears. The ground was trembling again, and gunpowder was filled with smoke. When the smoke that blocked their sight dissipated, the Ming army's array was quiet first, and then a huge cheer burst out, and the bombarded city wall collapsed.

The collapsed city bricks and rammed earth formed a slope. You can even see the buildings behind the city wall at the Ming army's location. At this time, you can attack the city. The Ming army soldiers and generals were ready to go forward to take action, but Mu En continued to urge his soldiers to load the bullets.

&1t;博>博友, prepare for the next round of shooting.

At this time, Wang Tong's personal soldiers came over to pass the order and shouted loudly: "The general has an order. The twelve-jin cannons and nine-jin cannons fired three rounds into the gap. The remaining artillery continued to suppress the defenders on both sides of the gap. The muzzles were raised, and the army was ready to fill the trenches!!"

Muen agreed loudly, and the artillery soldiers raised the muzzle with big wooden hammers and wooden wedges, and then began to shoot again. The defenders who did not even show their heads at the gap. The dark gun muzzle was facing each other. Who would dare to rush up to seek death?

But the city was opened, and the defenders had to come up to block it, otherwise what was the significance of this city? When the third round of artillery was about to be loaded, Tartar soldiers appeared at the gap. The formation was very chaotic. I don’t know whether to block the gap or defend: Li Hai became the target of heavy artillery, and the three twelve-pound cannons were loaded a little slower, but just as the defenders appeared, the artillery roared, and the just-appeared defenders were immediately erased, and heavy shells flew high, and everywhere they passed, they were shattered flesh and blood, unstoppable.

It seemed that someone drove the Tartar soldiers behind them. After one wave, another wave came up, but the other heavy artillery shells fell on the edge of the gap, and the bricks and stones were blown up. Such damage was like shotguns, almost forming a barrage of death, and no one dared to come up again.

The shooting of the six-jin cannons, nine-jin cannons and twelve-jin cannons began to spread. Their range was long and they could hit the back of the city wall. It was even easier to land on the top of the city. Under the coverage of heavy cannons, the catapults were silent and light cannons suppressed. Although there were no defenders at the top of the city, there were still sporadic stone bombs that were shot out, but they had no effect.

"Fill the trench!!"

Wang Tong's order was issued again, seizing the Tartar horses and the Tartars' chariots, loading them with the earth, rocks and broken wood that had just been demolished, and began to head towards the trench. The artillery had already begun to shoot sporadically, and the chariots slowly came out and headed towards the trench.
Chapter completed!
