Yang Fan's trebuchets were originally going to be taken back, but Chongzhen insisted on buying them, so Yang Fan had no choice but to sell them to the Jingying camp. Yang Fan was not reluctant to part with them. The main reason was that the power of these trebuchets was greater than the Xiangyang return artillery of the year.
It poses a great threat to the city walls of the capital.
If these weapons accidentally fell into the hands of Jian Nu, there would be serious consequences. Therefore, Yang Fan specifically asked Zhou Yuji to arrange a person in the trebuchet unit. This person did nothing. He just carried a backpack.
Once there is any disagreement, use explosives to blow up the key parts immediately. In this way, the slaves cannot use it even if they get it. The most steel materials they can seize are steel materials. Similarly, on 500 chariots, there are 500 kilograms of copper hairpins.
In the corner next to the cannon, there is also a red wooden box that will never be opened.
This box contains a red medicine bag. As long as the red medicine bag is filled into the barrel of the gun and the fuse is ignited, the artillery barrel can be blown up. This is the back-up left by Yang Fan. Otherwise, these artillery and advanced technology
Once prepared to fall into enemy hands, the consequences will be devastating.
Because it was a short distance, the net bag on the trebuchet was filled with 150 kilograms of gravel at a time. It was thrown out at once. There were hundreds of stones. Fifty trebuchets could throw four to five thousand stones at a time.
Such dense rocks fell down like raindrops, which was very lethal.
According to the instructions, each launch was based on the instructions issued by the observation post of the watchtower, and based on the density of enemy soldiers, fifty trebuchets were aimed at an area and launched. Four to five thousand stones all fell on a small area.
area to increase lethality.
"Area No. 8, release." As the order came from the semaphore soldier, the operator quickly pulled the wrench, and the counterweight suddenly fell to the ground. The rocker flew up suddenly and hit the crossbar limiter with a bang, and the net pocket
The rubble flew into the sky.
A Jia La in the square of area No. 8 just entered this area, and four to five thousand stones fell down with thunderbolts.
Jia La'e Zhen Su Zushu was immediately frightened and his hands and feet were numb. The sky was dark and full of gravel. He quickly grabbed a shield and huddled on the ground.
Li Yongfang's heart trembled as he watched from behind. He saw the gravel falling to the ground like raindrops. The gravel weighing one or two kilograms with a shield fell from high in the air. It couldn't be caught with a shield. On the rattan shield covered with iron, it was directly
The iron sheet was flattened. If Teng Dun had not had certain cushioning properties, his arm would have been comminuted and fractured.
Despite this, many people's shoulder and elbow joints were stabbed, and they screamed in agony.
Those heavy infantrymen without shields were directly hit by stones on their armor, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. The eight-petal iron helmet could not withstand the stones thrown from high altitude, and the triple armor was ineffective against heavy weapons, let alone
These are the rubbles thrown from high altitude.
They tried in vain to dodge, but four to five thousand stones were thrown at one area, which was very dense. Many people were hit instantly. They subconsciously used their arms and weapons to block, but their arms were broken and their weapons were smashed away.
A crowd of people fell on their backs, and more than 200 people were killed and injured. A flying stone flew diagonally, hitting Su Zushu's knee. He screamed, hugged Xie Gai and howled. The armor plates and leather armor of the skirt did not rise at all.
It worked. The knee was considered a comminuted fracture.
Su Zushu knew that his leg was useless and he would be able to walk with a stick from now on. In this era, comminuted fractures cannot be treated well.
"Hurry up, rush over, hurry up." He yelled at the top of his lungs. His head was so painful that he was sweating. If he still lingered here, he would have to wait until the next round of four to five thousand stones to fall again.
Huang Taiji stared at it with his slender eyes. There were trebuchets in Jianzhou, but there was no trebuchet with this kind of performance. It could throw so many stones at once and throw them so far.
It can be seen that the trebuchets are at least a hundred meters away from the city wall. They are arranged beyond the shooting distance of the Eight Banners and the Mongols' riding bows. In this way, they can be projected to a distance of more than 100 meters outside the wall. Isn't it possible that these trebuchets can
Throw it to a distance of three hundred meters.
Because Shenji Camp occupies a small mountainous area, the trebuchets are located at a higher position and can be seen from the outside. These trebuchets on the mountainside cannot be seen clearly from the outside, but the general outline is there.
Daishan was also watching. He was helpless and had no choice. At this distance, the Eight Banners had no effective means. Neither riding bows nor firearms could hit there.
The 15,000 Han-flag heavy infantrymen stared at the stones thrown above their heads and ran forward quickly. At this time, they were no longer running a zigzag route. They just wanted to quickly get out of the range of the trebuchet.
Zhou Yuji looked at the dark, densely packed heavy infantry below and ordered: "Start shooting with the Rumi gun."
The Han military flag entered within 100 meters. At this distance, the Lumi gun was the best in both accuracy and accuracy.
Bang bang bang! Bursts of musketry rang out from the wall. These soldiers are no better than the old Beijing camp soldiers. They are severely undertrained. Each veteran musketeer has fired at least a thousand rounds of ammunition. These people are just recruited into the Beijing camp.
I just fired a dozen or so hasty muskets and gave it up.
The Ministry of War believes that there is no need to waste gunpowder during training.
Moreover, the Ministry of War does not provide maroon gunpowder, and they do not have the technology. Now the propellant used by the Jingying musketeers has returned to the old-fashioned black powder. Not only is the smoke huge, but the combustion is also unstable.
Zhou Yuji had no choice. He couldn't defeat the gentlemen of the Ministry of War. His backer was Zhang Fengyi, who had not come back yet. He did not dare to go to the emperor for such a matter. According to the unspoken rules of official circles, it was only in line with the rules for him to ask Zhang Fengyi to come forward.
Therefore, Zhou Yuji simply adopted a group of ten people and used volleys of guns instead of free fire. After all, increasing the shooting density can effectively increase the hit rate.
The soldiers on the city wall volleyed their rifles in groups of ten, and the effect was immediate.
The iron-clad shield cannot stop the large-caliber lead bullets of Lumi Gun. Some of these lead bullets are left over from Yang Fan's era. They are all lead-clad steel ball bullets. Because of their steel core, they have strong armor-piercing ability. However, because
Black powder is used, and it is inferior black powder. The range and kinetic energy are seriously reduced.
The Gorou card at the front successfully blocked the steel core bullet of Rumi Gun at a distance of 100 meters. The people in the front row immediately cheered. They turned their bodies sideways to reduce the area affected by the bullet and rushed forward quickly. And the ones behind them
The man held up his round shield and tilted forward and upward, trying to block the shots from Lumi's gun. He also howled and charged upward.
However, these shields were not enough to see. They were penetrated one after another.
The people behind screamed and fell down.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to 70 meters. This time, the rigid and soft bullets in front of him also failed. At this distance, the steel core bullet of Rumi gun has very strong penetrating power. It penetrated the rigid and soft bullets and could also penetrate the chain armor.
, beat the shield soldier to death.
"Don't stop, no matter the casualties, rush to the wall." Li Yongfang yelled.
He knows that at this time, if you are sailing against the current, you will retreat if you don't advance. If you hesitate even a little, you will retreat. The previous losses will be in vain.
