Oshika heard the roar of the steam engine restarting.
He was startled, and he quickly turned his head to look.
I saw this black ship, and the huge chimney in the middle was 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 Zuo excitedly patted the railing on the bridge.
Shouted: "This time it's your grandpa's turn to show off his power. Prepare for artillery fire. Bomb him."
Oshika watched as the black ship came sideways, and the black muzzles of the three Folan cannons 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, three cannons were fired in succession. The bullets hit him 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 in a pool of blood and wailed.
Seeing this weird and terrifying black boat, it knocked over the raft. The Mongols also realized that rafts could not deal with this iron-clad ship. In addition, the artillery fire started again, so they all ran towards the shore.
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 glance, so let me fuck him .”
The apprentices immediately hummed and shook the steering mechanism, rotated the fort, and aimed the muzzle. Surrounded by hundreds of Mongolian cavalry, they prepared to escape.
Oshika is not stupid. After fighting for so long, he didn't do anything to this weird black ship. Instead, more than four hundred people died. This battle was 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 a solid spherical bullet is installed on the cork holder, and then loaded into the barrel together. Use a wooden pole to poke it in again 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, and he takes aim himself.
This gun has a simple aiming device. It is the three-point-one-line method of aiming the front sight and rear sight.
The juniors shook the handles, drove the height and direction machines, 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 roar.
Then he slammed back, and the huge power of the red cannon caused the entire ship to shake violently.
Yang Fan added a rope and pulley device to this gun. 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 stroke. It also makes it easier for the gunner to pull the rope to reset the gun.
The shells and sabots rushed out of the muzzle, followed by thick smoke and fire. The bullet 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 sometimes horse stumps were flying everywhere.
Wherever the cannonball passed, it was invincible, and all obstacles were shattered by the high-speed rotating lead ball.
Oshika 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 Oshihua completely destroyed the confidence of the Mongols.
The Mongols shouted and fled in all directions.
The cavalry came and left quickly, 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 Zui 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 continued to fill the boiler with coal with a shovel. The black ship's boiler burned more fiercely, the steam increased, and the paddle wheel spun rapidly, speeding 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.
Bidige
The Mongols had ruled in 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 set up on the wall, the hook will hang on the wall. Coupled with the weight of the ladder itself and the weight of the Mongolians climbing the ladder, it was 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 their death. That's a lie. Such a heavy ladder, with a hook attached to the city wall, would be difficult to push and tip over backwards.
At this time, a log studded with steel awls and maces 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 close to death and injury. The direct hit caused flesh and blood to fly everywhere.
Even one side of the ladder was broken, and after shaking a few times, it fell apart.
Those who were knocked down either died directly, or they vomited blood and died before their eyesight.
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, twelve were killed and injured. Quickly start the winch and beat the Yasha back."
This rolling log with sharp metal thorns is called Yaksha Lei. There are wheels at both ends, 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 mass-produce equipment such as racket poles and yaksha rings that could be used repeatedly.
Although, it consumes a lot of money, especially labor and materials. But once made it can last for many years. In areas 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 walls of Duolun City were covered with ants on all sides. Densely packed Mongolians climbed up the city wall. Both sides were stunned. Fighting together regardless of casualties.
Outside the moat, the Mongols fired their bows and arrows.
There are 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 grinder saw any gaps, he filled them with soil in straw bags.
The defenders on the city wall were also resisting vigorously. The boiling golden juice was poured down with a large spoon, and the Mongolians below howled miserably.
Whole bags of quicklime were dumped and flown down the wind to the Mongols. These people who had just climbed out of the moat were covered in wet water. 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: "Drive the boat into the moat, circle along the moat, cover both sides, use shotgun shells, 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 Franco machine gun on the right side of the ship opened fire on the Mongols climbing the city and the Mongols outside the moat. The dense shotgun blasts from behind photographed these Mongolians from the city wall piece by piece. He fell on the hard ground and his bones were broken.
The artillery fire on the left was aimed at siege equipment such as trebuchets and trench-filling vehicles. Fire fiercely.
Fixed loading ammunition, 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 crudely crafted siege equipment were also riddled with holes and were on the verge of collapse.
Khan Ahai and other Zhutai Ji 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 scaled 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 defenders were not strong enough.
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.
Break all the ladders and trench-filling trucks erected on the moat. 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. Directly cut off the Mongols on both sides of the moat. The situation immediately reversed.
The ones leading the charge today were the elite Taijis of each tribe, and it was Khan Ahai who spoke out before agreeing to take them out. Seeing the miserable situation in front of me, my guts turned green with regret. For a moment, everyone was so distressed that they almost jumped up.
"This is the black ship from there," Khan Ahai roared. "Hurry up and find out."
