Wang Fuhai hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his hands, then closed it hard, took deep breaths, and relaxed his emotions as much as possible. According to his experience, if there was hallucination, it must be because he was too nervous. It was not until his emotions completely relaxed that Wang Fuhai slowly opened his eyes.
No cannons were seen.
It's indeed a phantom.
Wang Fuhai breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s really scary to be scary. What if the military households have cannons?
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
Why are there two more stuff under your nose?
After a closer look, Wang Fuhai was completely stunned...Folang Machinery Cannon!
It’s not that I can’t see it, but that the Flang machine cannon has been pushed closer to the city!
"The artillery is real..."
Wang Fuhai murmured to himself in pain in his heart.
Since the military households successfully blocked Fushan City, the people inside had no idea what was going on outside. Therefore, Wang Fuhai and his son were unaware of the information that Zhang Zhun captured two cannons. Originally, they still expected fifty or sixty muskets to block the military's attack, but they did not expect that the military households actually had guns! How could the muskets be the opponent of the cannon?
For a moment, Wang Shixin's servants also became panicked. The military households even pushed up the cannons, and they must be in danger. However, their fate was closely linked to Wang Shixin's fate. Even if they wanted to rebel, it was too late. Given the blood debts they owed before when suppressing the military households' wages, they also believed that once the military households won, they would definitely not let them go.
There is no way, I can only fight.
But, do they have the capital to fight?
Outside the city, Zhang Zhun looked at Fushan City with a calm expression. This was his first time observing Fushan City. He had passed by Fushan City before, and had never carefully observed this city. Now that the battle is about to begin, he finally has time and it is necessary to carefully look at this military fortress.
From the second to seventh year of Hongwu, that is, from 1369 to 1374 AD, the Japanese pirates attacked the coastal areas of Jiaozhou six times, and the people suffered a lot, and even "avoided the Japanese and moved inwardly". Therefore, in the 21st year of Hongwu (1388 AD), in order to prevent Japanese pirates, the imperial court set up the "Fushan Preparation Thousand Houses Office" (i.e. Fushan Office) in the western foot of Fushan, which had a natural barrier to coastal defense, and was under the jurisdiction of Aoshanwei, and established a thousand households (fifth rank), a deputy thousand households (fifth rank), and ten hundred households (sixth rank), and their ranks were higher than the seventh rank of Jimo County.
Subsequently, Fushan Station began to build a large-scale city. The city walls built at that time were all made of rammed earth, more than two meters high (about 8 meters). The surroundings were rectangular, long from north to south, slightly narrow from east to west, and blue bricks and stones were built on the outside to reinforce the walls. The construction of Fushan City took fourteen years, and it was not completely built until the fourth year of Jianwen (1402 AD).
The Fushan City was quite solid at that time. After the construction was completed, the Japanese pirates had harassed the Fushan District many times, but they were all repelled. The most intense battle occurred during the Jiajing period. About a thousand Japanese pirates landed from Heilong Bay and tried to occupy Fushan City, but they happened to meet Qi Jiguang. After a bloody battle, the Japanese pirates left hundreds of corpses and left in a mess.
Decades have passed, and Fushan City has been much more ruined than during the Jiajing period. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, the number of Japanese pirates gradually decreased, and the number of pirates gradually decreased. Fushan City temporarily lost the need for defense. Therefore, the court no longer paid much attention to Fushan City, and no funds were allocated for repairs due to disrepair. In fact, not only Fushan City, but also the entire Shandong coastal garrison, were in this situation, only Dengzhou City was slightly better.
From a place 200 meters away, you can see the mouse holes appearing on the city wall. The largest may be as big as a bucket, and the smallest is as big as a sea bowl. The brick gap between the blue bricks and the stones was blown by wind and rain, and the sun was exposed to the rain, and the deep cracks became as wide and deep as a ditch.
The city gate of Fushan City is also old. The city gate that was originally bright red has now turned completely black, and the traces of insect worms are clearly visible. The city gate can actually be opened with a squash. Zhang Zhun believes that it does not cost too much to break the city gate. However, since there are cannons, what else should I do? If you use a squash, you will have to pay the price of casualties. In addition to muskets, the defenders on the city also have bows, arrows, rolling stones, tincture oil, bricks, stones, etc. At the last moment, Wang Shixin could not have brought out all the defensive weapons reserved by Fushan City.
The effective range of the Flanger cannon is only about 500 meters. Now that it is pushed to a position that is only 180 meters away from the city wall, the hit rate can be greatly improved. As long as it hits accurately, the city gate can be easily exploded. Of course, even if it is only 180 meters away, it is quite difficult to accurately hit the city gate. Because these two Flanger cannons do not have sight or sight, and rely entirely on the experience of the gunner.
Since Yang Guohua and others decided to surrender to Zhang Zhun and were approved to join the guard team, they naturally had to perform hard to gain Zhang Zhun's deeper trust. They were still familiar with the operation of artillery. When Rubink came ashore, in case of precautions, the one left on the ship was a professional gunner. For Yang Guohua and others, it was much easier to place the cannon in a fixed position and attack the fixed city gate than to attack the enemy's sailing warships on a shaking warship.
"Team A is ready!"
"Team B is ready!"
"Team C is ready!"
...
Each team sent people to report to Zhang Zhun, who was fully prepared for combat.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available.
Zhang Zhun nodded to Yang Guohua.
"fire!"
Yang Guohua immediately started yelling hard.
The original pirate gunners were all very active today. They skillfully put the projectiles and artillery into the barrel, and then quickly lit the fuse. The fuse slowly burned, constantly bursting out dazzling sparks, mixed with hissing sounds.
Soon, the fuse burned out.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A deafening loud noise came, and the surrounding land was slightly shocked.
Two Flang machine cannons spit out huge flames one after another and fired the projectiles out. A ball of fire at the muzzle, and a large amount of black smoke came out, completely covering the cannon and the gunner.
The caliber of the Flang machine cannon is about 80 mm, and it fires a spherical solid bullet. The projectiles are made of pig iron, and the weight of each projectile is about fifteen kilograms. After being fired, the destructive power is still quite large.
"when!"
A faint sound came from over there.
Zhang Zhun stood in the upper wind, avoiding the obstruction of black smoke, and carefully checking the bounce point.
Not hit.
A shell should have hit the city wall near the city gate, and a hole as big as a pot lid was smashed, gravel, bricks, and soil fell down one after another. The other shell was not sure where it flew, and there was no point in the blast.
The hit rate of the smoothbore gun is really unfair. However, this is also impossible. If you want to pursue accuracy, you have to increase the rifle in the barrel. However, the technical difficulty of the rifle is quite high, let alone the rifle gun. Since it is not hit at one time, continue until it hits.
Although neither of the two solid bullets hit the city gate, one of which was even completely shot away, it was already a great shock to the defenders on the top of the city. At the moment the cannon was fired, some people were even so scared that they wet their pants. There was no way, the military households were so afraid of muskets, let alone guns. The power of cannons was much greater than that of muskets. How could Wang Shixin’s servants not be afraid of guns? Now the guards are still firing solid bullets. If they switch to flowering bullets in a while, the lethality will be stronger.
It was Wang Fuhai, who looked dead at this time, and felt that his heart was beating rapidly and unyieldingly. He could clearly feel that he was really scared and timid. The guard even had the cannons out, and they were no match for it at all. How many of them were killed by the guard's cannons like this? If Zhang Zhun promised to give them a way out at this time, they might have surrendered without hesitation. Unfortunately, Zhang Zhun never gave them such a chance.
"Good fight!"
"Good fight!"
"Good fight!"
The military households applauded.
Compared to the frustration and fear of the defenders, the military households outside the city were full of joy and cheering up. These damn guys just set a random firearm to scare me, but now, they finally taste the consequences?
You have muskets, we have cannons!
Muskets or cannons, see which one is better!
Kill you dog gods with artillery!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two Flang machine cannons continued to fire.
The sound of cannons rumbling, gunpowder smoke filled, and black smoke rolled.
Outside the west gate of Fushan City, two huge smoke pillars rose and rushed into the clouds. A gust of wind blew, blowing the smoke pillars away, but soon after, the smoke pillars gathered again and continued to head towards a higher sky.
Solid projectiles were continuously fired out, and the sound of Dangdang came intermittently on the city wall. Most of the solid projectiles hit the city wall, smashing holes with large pot covers on the city wall, causing gravels, bricks, and mud to fall down. Not to mention the damage caused to the enemy by the projectiles, I felt that they were quite powerful. The howitzers in later generations were not so powerful, just that there was too much black smoke. The gunners were smoked into a black-faced Guan Gong in a while.
In fact, the power of the Flang machine cannons is far inferior to that of the Red Cannon. If the solid bullet fired by the Red Cannon is hit on the city wall, it will definitely be as simple as smashing a hole. It is not impossible to completely collapse a section of the city wall. In fact, based on the disrepair of Fushan City, if the red cannon is shot, it will at least collapse a piece of it if it is shot. The Flang machine cannon has a small caliber and its body tube is not long enough, so its power is not enough. However, no matter what, it is a cannon after all, it is not?
Zhang Zhun believed that under the bombardment of artillery, Wang Shixin's servants would not last long. He adjusted the Flang machine cannon, and what he valued most was the deterrent effect the artillery caused to the enemy. The psychological effect of pirate artillery to attack the beach near Yangjiatun was also quite shocking to the guards. Otherwise, what would be said that new recruits were afraid of artillery and veterans were afraid of machine guns? Under the huge shock caused by artillery, the psychological quality of servants would definitely slowly collapse.
Sure enough, under the continuous bombardment of the Flang machine cannon, the enemies on the city could no longer resist. Wang Shixin's servants were better. After all, they were armed with a large amount of silver and were quite loyal to Wang Shixin. However, other personnel who were forcibly recruited by Wang Shixin and fought with the servants could no longer bear it. They had already begun to look around, closely observe the movements around, and tried to retreat.
Even the deputy Qianhu, Baihu and other officials of Fushan City were already scared at this time. They could not believe that Wang Shixin's fifty servants could use muskets to resist the bombing of Zhang Zhu's cannon. At present, Zhang Zhu still bombarded with solid bullets and would not cause a large number of casualties to them for the time being. However, in a while, Zhang Zhu would definitely use the flowering bullet. At that time, they would most likely be sent to the Western Paradise with one shot.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The Ferlang artillery continued to bombard the city gate at a speed of about one round per minute. Under the bombardment of the artillery, the morale of the enemy in the city was getting lower and lower. The morale of the military households and guard soldiers outside the city was getting higher and higher, and they were full of confidence in the victory of the battle.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang came.
Zhang Zhun looked at it and found that a solid bullet hit the city gate. Suddenly, a large hole was smashed at the old city gate, and wood chips were flying around. Through the smashed hole, you can see that some enemies were gathering behind the city gate. As a result, after the solid bullet smashed the city gate, it continued to move forward and smashed the enemy behind the gate into a straight line. Blood splattered and blood was blurred. The frightened enemy hurriedly dispersed in a mess.
"That's the angle!"
Yang Guohua shouted excitedly.
As the launch position was constantly adjusted, more solid bombs began to hit the city gate. The gate of Fushan City was not very strong at all. After one shot, a big hole had been smashed. When the second shot went down, another big hole was another. Without a few shots, the city gate was smashed into pieces. Finally, after six or seven solid bombs were hit in succession, multiple gaps appeared in the city gate and finally fell down with a bang.
"The cannons fire at the city tower!"
"The musket takes turns shooting!"
"Fire cover!"
Zhang Zhun immediately issued an order.
The Folang machine cannon raised its muzzle and bombarded the city tower to suppress the enemy's muskets. At the same time, the musket team led by Yang Zixuan and others continued to fire guns less than 100 meters away from the city wall to suppress the enemies on the city tower.
