Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh: ten thousand guns fired(2/2)

The fortifications were completely destroyed, the earthen walls were blown up, and there were bumpy holes everywhere, which looked exactly the same as the earthen walls Zhao Wen had seen before.

If the earth wall before was a tall wall, then the earth wall now is at best the foundation of the earth wall, and it is not even considered a foundation.

At least the foundation is flat, unlike now, where there are bumpy holes everywhere.

At the same time, Huang Taiji also saw the earthen wall after it was destroyed.

He looked at the destroyed earth wall in front of him and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

These earthen walls were fortifications that took him more than a month to die and countless workers to build. Huang Taiji devoted a lot of effort to this fortification. However, unexpectedly, the fortifications that had been built with a lot of energy did not hold on for a day, and were easily blown up under his nose.

"They are going to attack the city, they are going to attack the city, they are going to attack the city!" Looking at the destroyed fortifications, Huang Taiji trembled and reacted.

If the fortifications are destroyed, then after being removed, it will definitely launch an attack on Shengjing City.

When Huang Taiji thought of the scene where he bombed the earth wall just now, his scalp became numb.

"Let me pull all the Ming people gathered up to the city wall. I want to see if they dare to shoot fire to attack the city!" Huang Taiji yelled at Oboi beside him, and then looked for Dorgon's figure in the city gate tower.

Just as he was confused, Dorgon rushed over, "Khan, I'm afraid they are going to attack the city!"

"That's right, they must be attacking the city. Hurry up the Ming people who had already gathered in the city and go quickly!" Huang Taiji roared anxiously at Dorgon.

Dorgon didn't say anything nonsense and led his men to rush under the city wall.

At this time, Zhao Wen put down the telescope in his hand, pointed at the knife that had been inserted back to his waist and pulled out again, "Tell me the order, target Chenyang City, fire with all your strength!"

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, more than a dozen messengers rushed towards the artillery position ahead with Zhao Wen's order.

Because the barrel needs to cool down, it is relatively late to fire this time.

About half a quarter of an hour later, all the artillery on the artillery position aimed at the Chenyang City in front.

At this time, Dorgon led his men and horses to the Ming people's gathering area and was pulling the Ming people out.

"Swoosh!!!"

When the first shell flew out of the barrel, all the cannons on the artillery position roared.

Each time the 152mm Cannon howitzer fires, it will cause a lot of smoke and dust.

The 107 rocket launcher was like the firecrackers set off during the Chinese New Year, flying one after another towards the top of Chenyang City.

Not to mention the 120 mortar and 40 fire, they also flew forward one after another.

Huang Taiji's face changed drastically as he looked at the fire on the cannon position ahead.

Huang Taiji really didn't expect that the cannon would come so quickly, and Dorgon fired the cannon before he could bring the Ming people up to Xuanzhen.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji heard a dense sound of breaking through the air.

Listening to the sound of breaking through the air, Obai hurriedly threw Huang Taiji to the ground.

"Kill, be careful!" Obai pressed Huang Taiji under his body and shouted.

As soon as the sound fell, after a few breaths, the shell landed on the head of Chenyang City.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

A series of shells exploded on the head of Shenyang city, and fires continued to appear on the head of the city with the explosion.

The defenders on the citytop were too late to hide, and they were shrouded in huge explosions.

"ah!!!"

A wave of air caused by the explosion of the King of Huangqi Niulu Zhangjing suddenly lifted out of the city wall and fell outside the city wall.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and screamed and fell under the city wall.

With a "bang!", he landed on the floor tiles at the base of the city wall.

Although he was protected by cotton armor, how could he protect his cotton armor after falling from the walls of Chenyang City?

"Bang!"

A shell landed on the turret of a red-clothed cannon on the top of the city, and the high temperature generated ignited the gunpowder stored in the turret.

The second explosion occurred, and the bricks and tiles in the fort were blown away and the soldiers around who had no time to hide were hit.

Although the brick fragments are not as sharp as bullets and shell fragments, they are heavy and very fast, so they can easily penetrate the cotton armor on these soldiers.

Some soldiers who were closer to the turret were blown away by the air waves caused by the explosion.

There is also an attic built by Huang Taiji on the top of Chenyang City to store gunpowder.

In order to ensure safety, Huang Taiji asked people to build the attic with long stones.

There are two layers of long stones, one layer on the outside and one layer on the inside, and rammed earth is sandwiched in the middle.

The firearms of this era, if you want to blow up the attic where gunpowder is stored, it will be difficult to explode in a very short time unless you keep bombing it.

However, under the high explosive bomb of the 152mm Canon howitzer, the attic storing gunpowder is like a toy building block in the hands of a child, and is not worth mentioning.

A high-explosive bomb fired from a 152mm Canon howitzer hit a loft where gunpowder was stored.

The moment it hit, a huge explosion lifted the bricks and tiles on the attic and exploded the rammed earth inside.

The rammed earth layer in the attic is not as good as the rammed earth layer in the city wall. The rammed earth layer in the city wall is very thick, while the rammed earth layer in the attic is very thin. Although it can withstand the attacks of many firearms in this era, it cannot withstand the high-explosive bombs fired by the 152mm Canon howitzer.
