The armored hammer-throwing artillery... is composed of a shield car equipped with iron armor, a light mortar used to fire super-caliber sugar-powder explosive shells, and is responsible for pushing the cart, shooting, shooting, and hand-to-hand combat.

It is a highly integrated advanced unit consisting of infantry, artillery responsible for firing artillery, and grenadier cavalry responsible for covering the artillery and infantry advance, and launching an assault after the enemy's formation collapses!

In short, it is very powerful and advanced!

However, this "highly synthetic" advanced military unit is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. In fact, it is just to upgrade the shield vehicle to one level and cover the surface of the wooden shield with a few thin iron sheets. This is not easy.

It was penetrated by lead bullets fired from shotguns and turtle-dove muskets, as well as shot from artillery.

Of course, this upgraded version of the armored shield vehicle can only withstand lead bullets and shotguns at a relatively long distance. At close range, it can only block shotguns at most. It is impossible to block muskets, let alone artillery.

.

But this "relatively long" bulletproof distance is enough for the light mortar following the armored shield vehicle.

This kind of light mortar, coupled with super-caliber bullets, can only hit one or two hundred paces. It can't hit no matter how far it is, and even if it can hit, it won't be accurate.

At a distance of about a hundred paces, the armored shield vehicle is enough to defend against lead bullets fired from muskets and shotgun shells fired from artillery.

Moreover, the height of this kind of shield vehicle is relatively low, just as high as a person, so it is not easy to hit it with solid shells fired by cannons.

As the sound of drums continued to sound in front of Shilipu, armored shield vehicles flashing coldly under the sun were slowly pushed out from the Wu army's newly formed formation, and then again

An "iron wall" was pieced together.

Judging from the fighting rising behind the Qing army's formation, behind these "iron carriages" were thousands of infantry, cavalry and dozens of carriages carrying unknown items.

Some of the infantrymen were responsible for pushing the iron cart. They were not wearing armor and only wore short coats on their upper bodies. They bent down to push the push rod of the "iron cart" and shouted the slogan "Long live the President...Long live!"

forward.

Behind them were rows of musketeers, archers, pikemen, hammer-throwers, and sword-throwers. A rough count showed that there were sixteen or seventeen rows, each with no less than 200 people.

There are more than 3,000 warriors in these alone.

These soldiers were all neatly dressed, wearing Ming Dynasty-style flying saucer helmets and cloth face armor, and they slowly pushed over like a wall.

Behind them were more than a hundred carriages. What was placed on the carriages? They were all covered with oilcloth and could not be seen clearly from a distance. Beside each carriage, there were five or six soldiers on foot.

The final showpiece was thousands of cavalry, all wearing flying saucer helmets and cloth face armor, carrying bows, arrows and spears, walking slowly.

At the end of the team, there was a young general wearing scale armor, a red cloak, and a shining silver phoenix-winged helmet. There were people beside him holding the general's flag for him, with an eye-catching mark on it.

The word "Wu".

Although this unit is still relatively far away from the Qing army's position, the murderous intent is already rolling in!

Zhuo Butai murmured in a low voice: "This is... Wu Shicong, right? What are these iron chariot soldiers doing?"

Zhuo Butai had never met Wu Shicong, but he had heard that Wu Sangui had a very capable "eldest grandson" who could lead troops to fight at a young age and never lost when he attacked various chieftains in Yunnan.

"It's so far away, this is going to..." Seeing the train formation slowly approaching him, Zhuo Butai suddenly understood something, and immediately opened his mouth and shouted: "Fire the artillery, order the artillery team to fire!"

Under the Wangdou stood the trumpeters, drummers and messengers of the Qing army. After hearing Zhuo Butai's roar, a trumpeter immediately blew the horn.

The Qing Artillery Team is about to take the field!

It is said that the artillery of the Qing army during the Kangxi period was not weak!

In addition to the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon, the Wucheng Yonggu General Cannon and the Weiyuan General Cannon, there are also lighter general cannons and mother-and-child cannons.

In particular, the sub-cannon improved from the Fran cannon is extremely sophisticated. This type of artillery is very light in weight, only 80 to 100 kilograms. The barrel is slender, the sub-gun is made very precisely, and it is extremely airtight.

Jia. Not only can it fire iron sand bullets, it can also fire solid bullets to bombard enemy warships.

However, including the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon, the Wucheng Yonggu General Cannon, the Weiyuan General Cannon and the Zimu Cannon, these relatively advanced muskets are all so-called Eight Banners firearms!

In the early years of Emperor Kangxi's reign, there were still mother-and-son gun cannons in Green Camp. However, in history, after the three feudal lords were pacified and Taiwan was taken over, Kangxi told the bachelors and others that "the mother-and-bone cannons are the Eight Banners' firearms and must be made by each province."...

...Of course, during the Kangxi Dynasty, the green battalion soldiers were not completely incapable of being equipped with such advanced Eight Banners firearms. It was just that the Emperor Kangxi’s court no longer gave money to buy equipment. There were good slaves below who really loved the Qing Dynasty and “donated it” from their own pockets.

"Made", this "Holy Lord" is really embarrassed to refuse, but he will agree.

Who gave Emperor Kangxi so much face? The people below loved the Qing Dynasty so much. How could you, a holy king, not allow it? You are not allowed to love the Qing Dynasty. You look like a coward!

For example, the old slave Sun Sike, who became worthless after the defeat of San Francisco, and the slave Jin Guozheng named Tianfangjiao, both really loved the Qing Dynasty and spent their own money to build cannons to defend the imperial court.

However, in the Yongzheng Dynasty, slaves who really loved the Qing Dynasty had to spend their own money to build cannons for the court and were not allowed to do so! Yongzheng did not have such a good face, and he could not rub the sand out of his eyes...

Later, the craftsmen down below were left without a job, and the soldiers had no cannons to play with, and gradually they stopped working.

It is a pity that the gunsmiths and artillerymen of the Qing Dynasty are still very good at casting and firing cannons, so Zhuo Butai gave an order and the more than a hundred general cannons, sub-mother cannons and Weiyuan general cannons that were placed in front of the formation were fired together.

.

For a moment, in front of the Qing army's formation, there was the roar of cannon and smoke rising!

However, the armored hammer-throwing artillery under the command of Wu Shicong did not stop advancing because the Qing army opened fire. Instead, it continued to move forward despite the Qing army's shelling. However, the cavalry who were originally riding on horseback dismounted to reduce the risk of being shot.

Probability.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, these artillery pieces of the Qing army are not very effective at attacking armored shield vehicles. Their general cannons are nothing more than light cannons of three to four hundred kilograms, and they shoot solid

The bullet is only about one kilogram. Although it is enough to destroy a shield vehicle, it cannot hit it from a distance because of its poor shooting accuracy.

As for the Weiyuan General Cannon, it was a mortar, but now it fires solid bullets... It's just to scare people.

The only thing that may threaten the armored shield vehicle is the slender barrel cannon!

This kind of artillery is called a cannon, but it is actually a large musket. When firing solid lead bullets, the accuracy is good because the tube is long and the lead bullets can hit the target. At a distance of more than 100 to 200 steps, it can also be compared.

Easily hit those armored vehicles.

But now, those shield cars are still far away...

At the same time, more than a hundred general cannons weighing more than 1,000 kilograms in Wu Sangui's army roared!

These general cannons weighing more than 1,000 kilograms fired stone bullets weighing three to four kilograms, and their firepower was much more powerful than the Qing army's cannons. Moreover, the targets they shot at were not slowly moving vehicles, nor were they arrayed in front of the Qing army's formations.

Instead of the cannon, it was the Qing army's infantry formation that had just been set up.

Stone bullets weighing three to four kilograms one after another roared through the air and hit those Green Camp soldiers who were "already slaves", "already coated" and "will be coated"——

Even if the green camp soldiers become slaves, they are inferior to the coated slave soldiers and the Eight Banners soldiers!

So when it comes to getting shot, they have to go first!

However, the masters of the Qing Dynasty still prepared "anti-gun shield vehicles" for the green camp slave soldiers - ordinary shield vehicles, placed in front of the "green slaves", coupled with the tiger head shields specially used by the green camp soldiers.

In this way, most of the green minions can't see the Wu army's cannons firing... If they can't see it, of course there's no need to be afraid.

And even if you are afraid, you can only endure the bombardment now!

Because the coated slave soldiers and the Eight Banners soldiers are now pressing down behind them. Anyone who dares to take even a step back will be shot to death!

Fortunately, the stone bullets used by Wu Jun will not bounce back after falling to the ground, and will only turn into scattered gravel. Although they will beat the Green Camp slaves to bloody heads and make them look ugly, their miserable screams will immediately be heard by the Green Camp slave soldiers.

There was a sound on the battlefield.

But the "green slaves" can still hold on, because the coated slaves and the Eight Banner slaves behind are still very safe. As long as the second master and the big master are fine, what do the green camp slaves have to complain about...

That’s it!

Just when these "green minions" felt that the casualties were bearable, a harsh suona sound suddenly sounded from the front. Then the slogans of "Long live the President..." suddenly stopped.

Some Green Camp soldiers looked forward through the gap between the shield vehicles and found that the row of shiny "iron shield vehicles" had stopped moving forward at some point... about 200 steps away!

Is something bad going to happen?
