Chapter 137 Assistance (Part 2)
Seeing this, Zhang Daojun hurriedly asked the soldiers to check the enemy situation and found that there was a fire not far away, reflecting a neat team. It was no one else, but Zhang Shun's team coming to support.
Zhang Daojun was surprised to see that there were bandits who actually used artillery to deal with him. He thought about it and guessed that it was the bandits under the command of "Zijinliang" who used artillery to bombard his Douzhuang.
This was really an enemy who was very jealous when they met. Zhang Daojun immediately ordered a counterattack against Zhang Shun with artillery. The two sides were far apart, and the large number of Fran aircraft carried by Zhang Daojun had to fight back, but they had to fight back with a few Western cannons.
The so-called Western cannon is actually the Red Cannon. It is just that the Ming people are called differently according to the different objects of contact with European firearms. The artillery that was learned in the Netherlands is called the Red Cannon, while those who imitate learning from Spain are called the Spanish cannon.
It is called a Western cannon.
Later, the Ming people found that the shapes of these artillery were almost the same, so they were called the Red Cannon. Later, it was spread to the Qing Dynasty, and because the Qing Dynasty was taboo on the word "Yi", it was renamed "Red Cannon".
Zhang Daojun made a small Western cannon for Ji Liao. It weighed between 300 and 500 kilograms, with a diameter of more than two inches, and a diameter of about twenty times. It was just compatible with the two-inch squat of the Ming army's regular envoys.
Small cannons such as cannons.
The batch of artillery in Zhang Daojun's hand was well-made, and it was quickly and accurately. He killed seven or eight soldiers under Zhang Shun's command with just one volley.
This shocked Zhang Shun. Although Zhang Shun knew that the officers and soldiers also had many cannons, he had never encountered officers and soldiers using cannons in many battles, so Zhang Shun almost thought that this was his unique skill.
At this time, the night was dark, and both sides could not see each other clearly and could not bombard the other's gun positions. They had to set up their own guns and shoot back and forth. Zhang Shunsheng had a larger caliber and more powerful; Zhang Daojun had a Western gun.
Well-made and precise shooting.
Seeing this, Zhang Shun hurriedly asked the soldiers to extinguish some of the torches and hide the location of the main force and artillery. Zhang Daojun could not see clearly where Zhang Shun's team was. Western cannons suddenly seemed like blind people, and they were all attacking Zhang Shun's soldiers, but they could not attack them.
On the contrary, Zhang Shun had many artillery under his command and was very mobile. Under the command of Li Shi'an, he often hid in one place and loaded it. After a volley, he immediately put it on the mule and horse and quickly moved.
As the commander of the ambush officers and soldiers, Zhang Daojun did not dare to extinguish the torch, for fear that the officers and soldiers would lose their position as the commander during the chaos, their morale would be greatly reduced, and they were killed so hard that they would not be left behind. However, this turned into the life of Zhang Shun's artillery.
The target was bombarded by the gunners under Li Shi'an's command and was about to die.
What's more, Zhang Daojun's Western artillery shells are only about one pound, while Zhang Shun's three-inch caliber artillery has poor technology, but it has a standard six-pound gun caliber. The shell weighs four and a half pounds and penetrates into the crowd, with a huge difference in lethality.
Zhang Daojun's small cannon only penetrated three or four people with one round, and Zhang Shun's cannon could almost penetrate dozens of people with one round. So after being passively beaten for two rounds of shooting, Zhang Daojun couldn't sit still. He had no choice but to take the initiative to attack.
, eliminate or force Zhang Shun's team to retreat.
Zhang Daojun is not a brainless person. He knows that both field and melee combat are not good for him, but he also has a large number of Franco cannons. This Franco cannon was learned from Spain's rear-mounted smoothbore cannon because of the technique of holding air at that time.
Due to the underground reason, the range and power of this kind of artillery are not very good, but the advantage is that it is fast loading and good firepower continues.
After learning such artillery by the Ming army at that time, they found that it was particularly suitable for dealing with the Tartars in the north, so they developed a large number of models of Fran cannons. The large ones were tens of thousands of pounds, while the small ones were basically one.
Just a musket
The Franchise aircraft in Zhang Daojun's hand are basically small and medium-sized models. For the convenience of carrying, the heaviest one is only about 100 kilograms. The range of this type of artillery is only between fifty and sixty steps and two, three or four steps. Zhang Daojun feels
As long as your team reaches such a close distance, the fierce firepower will definitely defeat Zhang Shun's team.
Zhang Daojun's team set off, holding a torch to shine on the road, and rushing down the hillside. Due to the influence of night, Zhang Daojun's team was not fast. Li Shi'an was very happy to use the cannon to "name" the place with the dense flames, and
Zhang Daojun was so angry that he wanted to tear Li Shi'an and others into pieces.
When Zhang Daojun's team was about fifty steps away from Zhang Shun's team, Zhang Shun had already secretly ordered the soldiers under his command to squat down. After Zhang Daojun's Franc cannon was bombarded with a series of bombardment, because the night was unable to see the movements of Zhang Shun's team.
He only thought that Zhang Shun's troops had suffered heavy losses, so he took the opportunity to order a charge.
As a result, Zhang Shun let them go about ten steps in front of his formation, twenty or thirty cannons fired together, shooting out dense rain-like shotgun, sweeping away Zhang Daojun's hand-to-hand killer team.
After the huge cannon sound stopped, Zhang Daojun endured the uncomfortable tinnitus and Mu looked at the dark position in front of him. In the light of the cannon just flashing, he clearly saw his hand-to-hand killer team being hit by the opponent's cannon.
It was so spoiled, like a cut wheat, falling down in pieces.
Angry, Zhang Daojun can no longer be angry. Although he is not an excellent general, his decades of military career tells him that his hand-to-hand killer team has been finished, and that he has carefully planned the ambush battle, and he is ready to make up for his achievements.
The plan to climb up the sky is over.
He also wanted to bet, but reason told him that he could not continue to bet anymore. If he continued to bet, he would not only not be able to make a profit, but he might also have to get in. He had no choice but to bite his teeth and swallow it blood, and decisively ordered his retreat.
When his deputy general Liu Wei heard this, he couldn't believe his ears and shouted loudly: "General, the extraordinary achievements of the ages are in front of him, are you willing?"
"I'm not willing!" Zhang Daojun said gritting his teeth.
"If you don't want to give up, let me lead someone forward and rush forward again!" Liu Wei said angrily.
"No!" Zhang Daojun shouted with all his strength, "My soldiers rely on fire weapons. Now fire weapons are not as good as people, so what can I do? I have a melee team of fighters who are well-raised by the servants left by my father.
A try. Now the killer team is completely ruined, what can we do about it!"
Liu Wei was speechless when he heard this, so he had to retreat in a bad mood. So, the sound of the officers and soldiers sounded, and the officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel in chaos when they heard this.
As a result, the rebels did not take the opportunity to chase and instead lay one by one on the ground, glad that they finally survived the catastrophe. It turned out that the officers and soldiers, the rebels fought from last night until dawn, did not get a grain of rice and took a sip.
Water is already at the end of its strength.
In addition, the two sides fought in chaos and had already lost their command and organization, so the rebels were powerless and could not get up to pursue them.
