Chapter eight hundred and twentieth eight: ten thousand guns fired
Zhu Junjin closed his eyes in despair, and a trace of pain flashed across his face, but soon, he returned to normal. When he opened his eyes, he flashed with a cold color and said slowly: "Now the morale of the army is unstable, I will be in the king.
I know, there have been many people swaying around recently, right?”
Liu Yangzheng came here specifically for this matter. The morale of the army has indeed been shaken, and the hearts of the people are actually not much better. Now people's hearts are floating. If measures are not taken, I am afraid that Nanchang City will become in chaos.
.
Liu Yangzheng said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I have heard of many such things. Some people even hide the secret spies of the Jinyiwei and make ill plans. If a few are not punished severely, I am afraid that someone will be more and more arrogant."
Zhu Junjin shook his head and said lightly: "Severe punishment is useless, and severe punishment cannot be suppressed. People's hearts are unpredictable. Let's talk about this matter slowly. What we need most now is not to severely punish those who are swaying from side to side.
Instead, a great victory is urgently needed to enhance the morale of the military and civilians."
Liu Yangzheng smiled bitterly: "But..."
Zhu Junjin waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have already made up for it. As long as they dare to come, I will keep them from going but not returning. Once the official army is frustrated, the morale in the city will naturally be high."
Liu Yangzheng was relieved. No matter what, since the prince was sure, he didn't have to be afraid.
The reason why Zhu Junjin is confident is because of his strong city defense. He believes that it is impossible for the official army to break through Nanchang for a year or two, and once it cannot be captured for a long time, the morale of the official army will definitely be frustrated.
It was the time for him to fight back.
Zhu Junjin spread another piece of white paper and looked like he was about to splash ink. Liu Yang bowed his hand in a tactful manner and was about to say goodbye. Suddenly, a rumbling cannon sounded, and the entire Ning Prince's Mansion suddenly shook.
Zhu Junjin couldn't stand firm for a moment, and was shocked by the sound of the huge cannon, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
The cannon sound obviously did not stop. Instead, it continued. Liu Yangzheng said in horror: "Prince, I'm afraid they have already attacked the city."
"So fast?" Zhu Junjin's face was a little pale. He hurriedly said, "|Hurry, follow me to see... The sound of cannons rumbling, and shells poured down towards the top of Nanchang without mercy.
The city suddenly showed panic, and many unprepared defenders directly exploded. The rebels guarding the city had to hide behind the female wall and dared not come out of their heads, but this was not safe. Some shells hit the female wall directly.
The female wall was suddenly collapsed, and the gravel flew around, and the sputtered gravel immediately shot the person behind the female wall with holes.
Ning Wang Zhu Junjin appeared on the top of the city, watching countless bullets flying around, iron bullets mixed with burning ashes of gunpowder. They smashed towards the city wall like meteors, and Zhu Junjin's face changed. He looked down at the city.
Hundreds of cannons set off and kept firing. The position formed by the cannons was like a long snake, and countless flames emerged, spewing out flames.
Zhu Junjin was stunned for a moment, his face pale as paper. Liu Yang was stumbled and rushed up. Qiqiai Ai Ai said, "The king... the prince... this place is too dangerous..."
Zhu Junjin looked at Liu Yangzheng coldly and said with a ferocious look on his face: "Don't say too much, hurry up, send the order and fight back!"
With the order, someone hurriedly set up artillery on the top of the city. King Ning had quietly purchased a lot of artillery at the beginning of the rebellion to defend the city, but because everything was going on in secret, the artillery was used.
Most of the rebels had not been trained before. At this time, they were in a panic. Under the urging of the military officer, they hurriedly set up artillery fire. After half an hour of tossing, they barely stabilized their positions, but in this process
Among them, the city was already in a mess, with corpses everywhere. Under the roar of countless artillery fire, everyone could not raise their heads. Several walls actually knocked down several small gaps.
Zhu Junjin hid behind the city tower and stood on the city tower, staring fearlessly at the roar of cannons under the city that had not stopped yet. He took a deep breath. There were at least five hundred cannons under the city, which was more than he imagined.
There should be more.
"Prince, you're ready,"
A general rushed over.
Zhu Junjin raised a sneer on the corner of his mouth and said, "|Retaliation!"
"Abide by the order!"
Immediately afterwards, Bailaimen artillery on the top of the city finally roared, and countless iron bullets rushed towards the artillery positions under the city like meteors.
The roar was like the sound of nature in King Ning's ears. Although the official army had many artillery, there were no fortifications to block it under the city, and his artillery was condescending and occupied the advantage of the territory. Although the number was not large, it was also
It's enough to give the officials and soldiers some color.
But……
After several rounds of counterattacks, things were not as simple as Ning Wang imagined. He actually found that the shells fired by the artillery on the top of the city could not reach the opposite artillery position at all.
Zhu Junjin couldn't help but be furious. Things were obviously beyond his expectations. How could this be possible? It was clearly because the defenders' artillery was condescending, but why could the opposite cannon hit the city wall, and the defenders' artillery were enough.
Go to the opponent's artillery position.
The matter was so strange. The military officer in charge of the gunner came over with a pale face and rolled and saluted Zhu Junjin, saying, "The prince... I'm afraid... our cannon..."
King Ning knew nothing about artillery, but he felt incredible. After asking him angrily, he finally understood what was going on.
These artillery were purchased by Ning Wang through various channels. Most of them were first purchased in the name of the vassal states, and then quietly transported to Nanchang. In other words, these artillery were specially sold a year or two ago.
The firearms given to the vassal states have a special feature, that is, both the power and range will be greatly reduced. The artillery under the city tower is the latest artillery after seven or eight improvements, and the artillery that is the main attacker is even more good at a long-term
The attacking smoothbore cannon has a long range, which is not comparable to these cannons.
In front of the sharper artillery, the defenders' artillery became a decoration. Ning Wang was stunned. In fact, he had no sense of artillery at all. From top to bottom, there were very few people who knew artillery from the rebels to the bottom.
, And the imperial court, after the continuous improvement of nephew in recent years, the artillery system has gradually been improved. Before siege, the Jinyiwei had investigated many parameters of the defending artillery, and after confirming the range of the other party's artillery, it was targeted.
The artillery positions were set up, and the result was that the defenders were passively beaten and did not even have the chance to fight back.
He didn't know that in order to attack the city, the military officers of the New Army's artillery battalion had been in a row for two days and nights, constantly calculating and referring to finally arrange the artillery array.
The so-called artillery tactics are not as simple as setting off artillery... On the artillery position under the city tower, the novice artillery were busy working. These new recruits were really unfamiliar, and some even moved when they heard the cannon.
It was amazing, under the leadership of the veteran, he finally started to start to move the gunpowder, and some people used water to continuously water the reddish gun barrels. As for calibration and
The fire was taught by veterans. At first, everyone felt novel. When the fire was actually started, they were shocked. However, under the leadership of the veterans, they gradually got used to it. They found that the so-called
The artillery is actually very simple. You just need to do your own thing step by step. Everyone should do their own thing well, and everything will not be a problem.
However, the new recruits are unfamiliar, which makes the artillery accurate head a little bit off. In addition, the speed of carrying shells and filling gunpowder is not fast, which has led to a great impact on the shooting interval of the artillery. As for the mastery of the temperature of the artillery body,
Not to mention, after the launch, the temperature of the barrel had not dropped yet, and someone rushed to fill the gunpowder, which almost caused an accident. Fortunately, there were veterans watching, and they could finally be timely about all kinds of irregular things.
Stop it, nothing big happened.
The artillery training began. According to the imperial envoy, such training will continue within the next half month to two months. Yang Rang, the artillery battalion officer, was really nervous. Such training was to make him
He was a little scared. What Yang Rang feared the most now is an accident. Once something happened, he couldn't afford it.
And seeing the cannons firing almost before calibration, 40% of the shells were shot in a direction, Yang Rang felt distressed. It was all money. If you continue to practice like this, the consumption of this day
Just tens of thousands of taels of silver, and a cannon fired a thousand taels of gold. This sentence was said by the imperial envoy, and it was indeed true that what he said was true.
Fortunately, this kind of training method is indeed pretty good. At least half an hour later, these new recruits finally became quite good.
"Sir, do you want to take a break?"
A team official trotted over and asked in a low voice.
For military officers and veterans, such shooting methods are really a bit terrible and are too wasteful of money. Everyone feels a little distressed... It was a little late to update, and I sent my brother to work for a long time. I'm sorry.
