Chapter 82 The Power of the Elm Cannon!
Chapter 82 The power of elm cannon!
Not to mention the power of the elm cannon, its sound is quite powerful.
More than fifty elm cannons fired in unison, relying on their low cost to send flying rocks crashing onto the wall of Jiannu City!
Want to fight back?
You have to wear armor and be careful to protect your face, otherwise the stones thrown by you will hit your face. If you are lucky, your nose will bleed, but if you are unlucky, your eyes or teeth will suffer!
For a time, the already low city wall was in a state of chaos, and the slaves who were driven up the wall either hid back or were fighting with the Qing army to grab the battlements and hide themselves away from the flying rocks.
"Spread out! Spread out on the city wall! Find a shield! It's just a stone! Can you fucking kill someone!?"
In the chaos, Xingjia's roar and the bloody knife in his hand had some effect. The Qing army began to use shields as cover to try to fight back, and the war slaves scattered on the outer city walls.
Zhu Youjian, who was wearing heavy armor and commanding from the front, saw this and immediately ordered a ceasefire.
"Release the gunpowder in the elm cannon and cease fire! Replace the cracked elm cannon and reload it! Load large stone bullets! Keep moving forward!"
Hearing this, the tribal warrior who was carrying a large wooden shield and was in charge of lighting the fire immediately lit the last round with a grin. Then the warrior in charge of pushing the elm gun carriage also held the shield on top, filled it with powder and stuffed in apple-sized stones.
Then continue pushing the cart forward.
At this time, they were probably within shooting range, and some large firearms also appeared on Ninggu Tower City.
However, due to the previous rain of rocks, the already turbulent momentum of the Black Flag Army could no longer be stopped!
You still need to push to rush the car. Those tribal warriors carrying shields or baffles remembered Zhu Youjian's orders. If they were not worried about being too out of touch, they would have rushed to the city wall at this time.
The half-man-sized cannon was carefully lit and then made a muffled sound.
It's okay to put up a ladder.
One of the two tower-type rams was hit by two cannonballs. It suddenly tilted and was in danger of collapsing. The Black Flag Army below naturally dodged hastily, which gave the defenders some comfort.
Even the cannon has baffles on its side!
As soon as they reached the distance, the soldiers behind the shield took out their bows and started shooting furtively! The arrows that went up to the top of the city limply due to nervousness were a bit insulting!
This is the way to play.
The artillery left behind after Chun Chun bullied Ning Guta's main force left was so small and few!
In desperation, Xingjia could only rely on the gunmen at hand and ordered them to quickly shoot at the sneaky savages behind the screens.
More than fifty elm cannons were fired at close range. The momentum was astonishing and the effect was impressive.
In this way, after the Qing army fired three volleys and the Black Flag army broke into the car and was shot four times, the tribal warriors inside finally couldn't stand it any longer and escaped from behind the barrier, leaving behind a few rotting corpses!
The power is still too small.
Even if the tower rushes the car, the end result in the siege battle is usually to become a meat grinder for the siege team.
In a word, several tribal warriors who had seen their companions smashed into pieces by iron bullets actually found some courage again, and tremblingly picked up the shields thrown by their companions!
Hearing this, the Black Flag Army pushing the cart quickly retreated, leaving behind a Black Flag Army carrying a thick baffle, who took out his fire sickle and hit the four-in-one fuse that had been put into the elm cannon!
Almost no one at the front of the entire siege team was uncovered!
The shell visibly landed near an assault vehicle and then made no sound.
The Qing army, who originally thought it was just another pile of rubble, only heard a series of whistling sounds! There was a loud bang on the city wall! A companion nearby was also hit by a stone bullet! The whole man whined and some blood foam exploded from his mouth! Directly from the
Flying off the city wall!
Zhu Youjian and the guards around him were immediately happy when they saw it.
In the midst of the blue smoke, two four-in-one elm cannons exploded on the spot! Wood chips flew everywhere, and half of the barrels flew high!
Let’s not even talk about the weird and outrageous wooden cannon that can actually fire such a thing!
But after running back for a while, I saw the tall figure of Wuerte standing at the front of the array.
Relying on three cars to rush the car, I didn't even consider the option of building a ladder physically!
The soldiers pushing the car in front are always protected by soldiers carrying baffles! Not to mention those baffles with shooting holes!
After all, it is a cannon that can use gunpowder, and its characteristics determine that it is more reliable than small and medium-sized trebuchets.
But the rush car is getting closer and closer!
More importantly, that outrageous wooden cannon is getting closer and closer!
Xingjia, who only had five cannons on hand, looked at the ramming cars, then at the wooden cannons, gritted his teeth and asked the gunner to continue bombarding those ramming cars!
It’s just gravel! Just bear with it and it will pass!
But we must not let the savages scale the city wall so easily!
There were also some experienced veterans among the defenders. After receiving the order, they shouted and poured artillery fire on the broken door with the thickest and thickest wooden planks on top of the car!
Afterwards, Zhu You assessed the distance and gave an order to the savage soldier pushing the elm cannon in front!
"ignition!"
Capture a city simply by relying on a siege ladder?
That is to die.
Smoke and ash exploded! The Qing army's casualties on the city wall were unknown, but in an instant a large area shrank down without showing its head, and several bricks were blown off the wall stacks. The Black Flag Army naturally cheered for a while.
The gun seems to be a prototype of the Jiajing-year-old Franchise machine, but it still fires solid bullets.
The reason why we have to push it closer before firing is that after testing, if the elm cannon is used to hit large stone bullets, the pressure on the gun body will be greater when firing, and it will be easier to explode the barrel, and the range will be shorter.
Even if the slaves who built the Black Flag Castle looked down on the Black Flag Army, they were just trying to get ahead of themselves.
But the other twelve aircraft successfully fired large stone bullets!
Dozens of stone bullets were shot towards the Ninggu Pagoda wall!
"Raise your shield and follow me forward! You are already very brave!"
It would have been an extremely helpless choice to release it more than three hundred years later. It is a good time to release it now!
Five small cannons were fired and fired, finally achieving some results.
Zhu Youjian felt helpless when he saw this.
The ground is a bit damp this morning, so it’s hard for solid bullets to bounce!
This somewhat eye-catching effect seemed to irritate the defenders on the city, and after a while they pulled out four more cannons.
Not even using ammunition?
As long as you pour oil on it and light a fire, you don't even have to look at that section of the wall once it's burned.
Now that the effect was achieved, Zhu Youjian naturally urged the Black Flag Army to continue loading and shooting!
A large number of elm cannons were placed at the back.
A series of explosions sounded!
Xingjia on the city wall can be understood at a glance!
No wonder these savages stayed for two days before starting to attack the city!
They are so cowardly!
After seeing it lit, he covered himself and ran away quickly!
“Bang bang bang!”
Well made!
While the second stone bomb was brewing, the Black Flag Army cheered and cheered again, and each one of them looked ready to charge.
It turned out that the Qing army had fired a volley of artillery and cannons to suppress the towers and rush into the car, hitting the baffles and wood chips flying everywhere. Fortunately, the Black Flag Army behind was wearing heavy armor and the damage was not fatal! It was just that the advance was slow.
However, the Qing army hurriedly dodged under the pressure of a round of stone bullets from the elm cannon. The Black Flag Army pushing the cart took a deep breath. After pushing hard, the tower rushed the cart and it had already leaned against the city wall on the edge of the east gate of Ninggu Pagoda.
Seeing this, Zhu Youjian waved his hand!
"Catch the slaves up!"
