Chapter 114 Let’s touch it

"Bang!"

The elm cannon exploded, spraying out gravel and iron sand that fell on the black soil of the construction site.

The tribal leaders looked at each one and nodded.

Simple and straightforward.

"And staying in the trench, the range of the elm cannon is approximately the same as the range of the Jiannu heavy archers. At this time, our soldiers only need to put the elm cannon up, and the Jiannu heavy archers and the heavy archers can

Soldier A can only stand and be beaten."

The leaders nodded blankly.

None of them have any military qualities to begin with.

Now that I see the tactical fortifications more than three hundred years later, my three views are suddenly overturned.

Of course, the matter about the trenches was the result of Zhu Youjian's careful consideration, combined with the available troops and firepower, and Jiannu's conventional military tactics.

First of all, if the elm cannon is not regarded as a "cannon", but only as a heavy, bulky, easily damaged but powerful backward shotgun, then there is no individual weapon in the world that can compete with it.

have a look.

It can be said that this kind of medium and short-range weapons, which are extremely low-cost and powerful enough to crush all the muskets in the world today, will be a hot commodity whether they fall into the hands of the Ming army or the Qing army.

But the journey was pleasant, the problems faced were simple and crude, and he was able to directly collide with the Jian slaves on the front line, tearing open a hole and ruthlessly tearing apart their flesh and blood.

Why are you so happy?

The cannons that the slaves were so proud of would feel powerless in front of the trenches.

Emperor Longwu was tensed up. After all, he had wanted to defeat the bandits from the beginning, and he did not express his stance clearly as he pursued martial arts.

The tribal leaders watched Zhu Youjian's operation. Although their heads did not turn around for a while, they also tried hard to prove the practicality of this fortification.

The Ministry of War and the generals of the Ming Army were overjoyed. Such cheap and easy-to-use firearms greatly increased the combat power of our army! They quickly deducted a sum of silver to reward themselves. The Ministry of Industry was also overjoyed and hurriedly priced the iron hoops binding the elm cannon at five

Start with two silver coins.

This can also prevent them from easily bypassing our defense lines. If everything goes well, there will be two lines of defense that can be used to consume the cannon fodder of the Jiannu, and after the high casualty difference has worn down their will to fight, they can fight to the death here."

But if you imagine that you are the attacking party, but actually hold the people in the trenches, there is nothing you can do.

I feel very dull.

A leader has spoken.

Um.

The Lee family of North Korea also diligently gave up a share of their profits and worked hard to secretly purchase gunpowder and materials for making gunpowder. For this reason, they even planned to find ways to go to the Ming Dynasty territory to purchase it by sea.

Because Jiannu occupied the capital.

Zhu Youjian reached out and picked up a handful of snow outside the trench.

OK.

Why bother?

If he wins this battle, Zhu Youjian will finally take a solid step towards his goal of completely changing the overall situation.

For Zhengheiqi, which has a lighter logistical burden, Tianshi also occupies the space.

At least after the Qing army destroyed Li Zicheng, Emperor Longwu did not come up with any plan to give Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the Guanmen Gate, the title of Xibo, and be promoted to the Duke of Ji.

, the operation of sending officials and sending gifts.

And he directly put an end to the policy of "uniting the captives to attack the bandits" which was very popular in the DPRK, otherwise it would be very difficult.

Zhu Yujian was quite confident at this time.

Zhu Yujian was still very restrained.

Then the leaders thought for a while.

The ammunition is simple to load and the power is acceptable. Except for the somewhat poor range, the Elm Cannon has no problem at all when used for trench defense.

The Black Flag Army is relatively stable internally, and has a solid trench defense line, so it can be considered that it has gained the advantage of geographical location and people.

Then.

When the news reached Nanjing, Shi Kefa went directly to "Qing Qing and Destroying the Kou Shu".

Can't you just be happy?

It sounds like these days, fire guns can have high accuracy without exploding their barrels.

After listening to what Zhu Youjian said, Karama and others still looked weird.

Zhu Youjian saw what they were thinking and sneered secretly.

Perhaps going south and settling in Nanjing is also a feasible path.

"Piyu's men were all young and strong, plus slaves and armored men. It took almost twenty days to dig out such a small area. Before this trench, two lines of defense had been dug. If the first line was lost,

The soldiers can retreat directly to the second line of defense, and the same is true if the second line of defense is lost.

So Kalama copied Zhu Youjian's operation.

Other leaders also responded: "Then the slaves will rush into the trenches."

This is nothing.

While I was confused, I was also a little happy.

His voice was also quite loud. The Jinyiwei relied on the military power of the Zheng family to barely compete with the Donglin Party, and because of Zhu Youjian's roll call, although Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others were officials in the Longwu Court, they were not reused.

Even if you are not afraid of exploding the barrel or spontaneous combustion, you can just hold it in your arms or put it on your shoulders to take aim.

That is to say, just looking at a trench is enough for you to enjoy it for a while, otherwise you would have to take a look at the pseudo-mechanized tactics of adding elm cannons and sleds to French cannons.

So what is His Majesty Nanming Longwu doing at this time?

Zhu Youjian couldn't help feeling a little emotional as he spoke.

"But Jiannu will drive the slaves to block the power of the divine thunderwood."

Not to mention that when Jiannu charged, he was playing close combat.

That is to say, this elm cannon was not born in the right era.

Zhu Youjian had naturally expected this, and pointed to the slope at the back of the trench for entry and exit: "Then our soldiers will run away. Of course, this line of defense cannot run away. If Jiannu attacks here, then hand-to-hand combat will

By unavoidable, I mean the front line of defense can run."

Then there is "But since the Qing Dynasty can kill thieves, it is to avenge me. To give it a righteous name is because it follows the trend. The former country's hatred is so great that it especially forgives its former sinners and uses its strong military strength to wipe out all the ugly ones. It is also inevitable today.

It’s all about counting.”

Where did this go?

That is to say, the long-range firepower of the Black Flag Army is really inferior, and it lags behind the Jiannu in both quantity and quality. Otherwise, what is dug here may be directly a defense line of earthen fortresses, rather than trenches and local prismatic firepower points.

It's frustrating just thinking about it.

That's right.

At this time, the legitimacy of the Longwu court could not be said.

The enemy blasted the enemy, and the beaten enemy still forced the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty to death, the rebel army that caused trouble in the capital.

An elm cannon can be operated by a single soldier.

Individual weapons.

"Front?"

He specifically emphasized that "the most urgent thing at the moment is to deal with the bandits."

"This is a crucial battle. Let's wait for the slaves to come and test the law."

The Qing army was overjoyed, and the heavy armor and heavy arrows turned into armored death squads carrying elm cannons and charging to the death.

The snow is not thick enough, but fortunately the weather is cold enough.

What?

Explosion and accuracy?

Following Zhu Youjian's burning, killing and looting for several months, they felt that their knowledge of war had been greatly expanded, but facing the extremely reliable trench fortifications, they suddenly felt something was wrong.

We can only use human lives to fill the gap and resist.

It can also lead to a weird but long-term path.

Because Jiannu blasted a wave of intruders, and at this time still had the intention to use troops against the intruders.

Therefore, although Ning Nanbo Zuo Liangyu's greetings and reports came a month or two late, they never stopped coming.

Recently, He Tengjiao, the magistrate of Nanyang County, reported that Nanyang had received a large number of old troops of the Ming army who had fled from the north to the south, as well as bandits and surrendered troops, and was waiting to be dispatched.

Zhu Yujian naturally asked him to recruit the soldiers.

So the current military momentum in Nanming seems to be very good.
