He was startled, and he quickly turned his head to look.
I saw this black ship, with the huge chimney in the middle spewing out billowing smoke again.
The paddle wheel behind the boat began to spin again.
The steamship, whose power had been restored, was no longer afraid of the Mongolian soldiers rushing up on rafts.
Chen Zhijian made a full left rudder to the end, and the Dawn made a circle sideways.
All the rafts were knocked over, and the people on the rafts fell into the water one after another.
Mo Desi excitedly patted the railing on the bridge.
He shouted: "This time it's your grandpa's turn to show off his power. Get ready for artillery fire. Let's blast him."
Oshika watched as the black ship came sideways, and the black muzzles of the three Franco machine guns were aimed at the hill where he was.
Ai Hua is a seasoned veteran, and he immediately turned his horse and left without any hesitation.
He abandoned his subordinates who were unaware of the situation, whipped his horse, and galloped towards the back of the hill.
Then, boom, boom, boom, three cannon shots were fired in succession. The shotguns came crashing down like a storm.
The Mongolian cavalry who had no time to react were knocked down in large numbers, including their men and horses. Countless people fell down in a pool of blood and wailed.
Seeing this strange and terrifying black boat, it knocked over the raft. The Mongols also realized that the raft could not deal with this iron-clad boat. In addition, the artillery fire started again, so they rushed towards the shore.
Run away.
Fu Laoliu lay on the gun window and looked at it for a while, then said: "Have you seen the guy in armor? This mountain armor is not cheap. That guy looks like a high official at first sight, so let me fuck him
.”
The apprentices immediately hummed and shook the steering mechanism, rotated the fort, aimed the muzzle, and were surrounded by hundreds of Mongolian cavalry, preparing to escape.
Oshika is not stupid. After fighting for so long, he did not do anything to this strange black ship. Instead, more than 400 people died. This battle is still a fart. Why don't you run and wait for the red cannon to come over?
Fu Laoliu directed his apprentices to stuff a custom-made, cylindrical silk-wrapped propellant pack into the barrel of the cannon, and poke it into the bottom of the barrel with a long pole.
Then install a solid spherical bullet on the cork holder, and then load it into the barrel together. Use a wooden pole to poke it in again, and press it until the bottom is compacted.
Hu Dahai is Fu Laoliu's eldest disciple, and they are usually responsible for leading the junior disciples.
He has the best eyesight, so he takes aim himself.
This artillery has a simple aiming device. It is a three-point and one-line aiming method for the front sight and the rear sight.
The juniors shook the handles, drove the height controller and steering gear, and adjusted the pitch angle and direction.
Hu Dahai nodded to the master, indicating that he had taken aim.
"Fire!" Fu Laoliu yelled.
The young apprentice warmed the water, immediately grabbed the red-hot steel drill from the stove, and thrust it into the fire door. The artillery made a deafening noise.
Then he suddenly reared back, and the huge power of the red cannon caused the entire ship to shake violently.
For this gun, Yang Fan added a rope and pulley device. After the gun is fired, when the gun moves backward due to the recoil force, the rope and pulley can be used to buffer the recoil travel. It also makes it easier for the gunner to pull the rope to reset the gun.
The cannonball and sabot stock rushed out of the muzzle, followed by thick smoke and fire. The sabot stock shattered, and the lead bullets roared, flying at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, towards a large group of cavalry who were escaping in the distance.
Fu Laoliu and others watched as the group of cavalry started from behind and were hit by the thirty-six-pound lead ball, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
Body parts, fragments of armor, weapons, and even horse stumps were flying everywhere.
Wherever the cannonball passed, it was invincible, and all obstacles were shattered by the high-speed rotating lead ball.
Oshihua only felt a strong wind blowing from his right side, and then he found that half of his body was also blown away by the strong wind.
With only half of his body left, he fell off the horse with a thud.
The death of Yihua completely destroyed the confidence of the Mongols.
The Mongols shouted and fled in all directions.
The cavalry came and went as fast as they came, and in the blink of an eye, there was nothing but corpses in the river, those killed by shotguns on the bank, and those wailing in a pool of blood.
Mo Zhui didn't even look at the dead bodies and the injured.
Once dark, the wolves on the grassland will clean them up and turn them into fertilizer for the grassland.
There is no need to worry about grinding the table.
"Let's go to Duolun City at full speed." Mo Zuo ordered.
After the order came from the microphone, the stoker kept filling the boiler with coal with a shovel. The black ship's boiler burned more fiercely, the steam increased, the paddle wheel spun rapidly, and it accelerated towards the city of Duolun.
Two hours later, at noon, the Dawn finally arrived at Duolun City.
At this time, the secretly numb Mongolian soldiers were climbing the city.
Countless simple ladders were set up on the city wall. The Mongolians, holding a cowhide buckler in their left hand and a scimitar in their right hand, were desperately climbing up the city wall. Their faces were ferocious, showing no fear of death.
The Mongols had ruled the Central Plains and were familiar with siege weapons. Although their ladders were not cloud ladders, they had two iron hooks at the top.
Once it is set up on the city wall, the hook will be hung on the city wall. Coupled with the weight of the ladder itself and the weight of the Mongolians climbing the ladder, it will be extremely difficult for the defenders to lift the ladder down.
In the movie, a wooden pole was used to push down the ladder, causing everyone on the ladder to fall to death. That was a lie. Such a heavy ladder, with a hook attached to the city wall, would hardly be able to push the ladder over backwards.
At this time, a log that was studded with steel awls and looked like a mace was thrown down from the city wall.
This log is one foot thick and weighs hundreds of kilograms.
The logs rolled down sideways, carrying countless steel awls, rolling, directly hitting the Mongolians on the ladder from the top to the bottom.
Smash it to the bottom!
It was really a collision of death and injury. The flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Even one side of the ladder was broken, it shook a few times and fell apart.
Those who were knocked down either died directly, or they vomited blood and died before their eyesight.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Squadron leader Guo Qiliang was in charge of this section of the city wall. He stuck his head out from the battlements, took a look at the effect, and then retracted. He shouted: "Well done, you will be killed and injured."
Twelve. Start the winch quickly and bring the Yaksha back."
This rolling log with sharp metal thorns is called a Yasha Lei. It has wheels at both ends and is fixed with ropes. After being thrown down, it can be pulled up again with a winch on the top of the city for repeated use.
Because there is less wood and less stone on the grassland, if the rolling wood thunder stone is used once, it will be used up in a few days. Therefore, An Sanxi decided to make a large number of equipment such as racket poles and yaksha beaters that can be used repeatedly.
Although it costs a lot of money, especially labor and materials, it can be used for many years after being made once. In places where wood and stone resources are scarce on the grassland, it is more cost-effective.
When the Dawn entered the river between the castle and Duolun City, braving billowing black smoke, it was stunned by the scene in front of it.
The rammed-earth city wall of Duolun City was covered with ants on all sides. The Mongolians were climbing up the wall in dense numbers. Both sides were scared and had to fight each other regardless of casualties.
Outside the moat, the Mongols fired their bows and arrows.
There were also a few trebuchets throwing stones at the city walls.
The rammed earth wall was not covered with bricks and was not strong enough. There were gaps in many places.
When the grinding table saw any gaps, they filled them with soil filled with straw bags.
The defenders on the city wall were also struggling to resist. The boiling golden juice was poured down with a large spoon, and the Mongolians below howled miserably.
Whole bags of quicklime were dumped and floated down the wind towards the Mongols. These people who had just climbed out of the moat were covered in wet water, and when they came into contact with the lime, their skin and flesh were immediately burned to pieces.
Some had lime in their eyes, covering their eyes and screaming wildly. Others were slashing with knives, looking like crazy.
Looking at the densely packed ladders on the city wall and the swarming Mongolian soldiers.
Mo Zuo ordered: "Send the boat into the moat, circle along the moat, cover both sides, use cannonballs, and bombard the enemies climbing the city and the enemies outside the river.
As the order was given, the black ship turned and sailed into the moat.
At this time, many long ladders were erected on the river with wooden planks laid on them as bridges for the Mongolian soldiers to cross the river.
The black ship increased its power and drove directly over, knocking over all the ladders.
A large number of enemies fell into the water. Those who fell into the water from the bow of the ship were run over by the hull. Those who did not drown or choke to death were crushed by the paddle wheel after the hull passed.
The people who fell into the water on the side of the ship were also sucked in by the paddle wheel as the ship passed by, and turned into a pile of minced meat.
The Folang machine gun on the right side of the ship opened fire at the Mongols climbing the city and the Mongols outside the moat. The dense shotgun blasts from behind knocked these Mongols off the city wall piece by piece. They fell to the hard ground.
Broken bones and tendons.
The artillery fire on the left was aimed at siege equipment such as trebuchets and trench-filling trucks. They opened fire fiercely.
The fixed-load ammunition has a very fast rate of fire. The personnel operating around these siege equipment were beaten into a sieve by the dense steel balls sweeping across the fan.
These improvised and crude siege equipment were also riddled with holes and were on the verge of collapse.
Khan Ahai and others were currently on a watchtower watching the progress of the attack.
Today is the day when the siege has made the most progress in more than a month.
Selected warriors from each tribe climbed onto the city wall for a time, but were then driven back down by the defenders.
The west gate changed hands several times today, and the fighting lasted from morning to noon. It was obvious that the strength of the defenders was somewhat insufficient.
Seeing the opportunity, Khan Ahai immediately ordered the entire army to attack and besiege the city from all sides.
At this moment, a black ship that had never been seen before rushed into the moat, emitting black smoke.
All the ladders and trench-filling trucks erected on the moat were broken. A large number of warriors fell into the water and were crushed by the wheels on the butt of the boat.
The boat kept spinning along the moat, firing at the Mongols on both sides with artillery fire. It directly cut off the Mongols on both sides of the moat. The situation was immediately reversed.
The ones leading the charge today were the elites of the Taijis from each tribe, and it was Khan Ahai who agreed to take it out after he had spoken out. Seeing the tragic situation in front of him, his intestines were filled with regret. For a moment, everyone was so distressed that they almost jumped up.
"This is the black ship that came from there," Khan Ahai roared. "Hurry up and find out."
