The enemy is already five miles away
At this moment, the drums were beating loudly on Ma'an Mountain.
The personnel at each defense position were constantly operating, waiting to fight the Qing army.
Li De, as the commander of the army, naturally cannot stay here any longer.
"Little brother, give these bullets back to you. For the sake of the King of Han and the happiness of the people in the world, kill more Qing dogs." Li De, who had just taken the bullet from Li Liqun, returned the bullet to Li Liqun again.
"Yes, I will obey Commander Li's teachings. For the sake of the King of Han and the people of the world, I must kill more Qing dogs." Li Liqun said with a respectful salute.
After Li De also bowed to Li Liqun, he left and returned to his tent.
At this time, in the camp, all the staff generals were waiting for his arrival.
"Everyone, we found the Qing army five miles away. I believe they will arrive at the foot of Ma'an Mountain soon. Regarding the deployment of defenses, just act as planned before." Li De said.
"As for other words, I won't say more. I just want to tell you one thing. The King of Han is on Ma'an Mountain right now, with us. The King of Han trusts us and is willing to put his life in our hands. In turn, you are worth it." Can’t you trust the King of Han?”
"I am willing to go through fire and water as the King of Han to repay your kindness..."
"I am willing to be the King of Han and defeat all enemies without any hesitation..."
Under the call, Ma'anshan's defense system is all ready.
…
Four miles away
…
three miles away
…
two miles away
"Dong...dong...dong..."
Accompanied by the loud sound of military drums, the bandit-suppressing army soldiers on Ma'an Mountain could even see the Qing troops arriving.
"Hmph, it's just a small hill. No matter how well the low wall is built, or how many trenches are dug, what will happen? I have tens of thousands of troops here, and even one person can level it with a handful of mud. I still want to use it. It's a joke to resist us." Eji Hemuler said arrogantly, holding up a telescope.
"Someone is coming!"
"Go back to the master, my servant is here." The flag officer on the side immediately stepped out of the queue and responded.
"Go on, tell the artillerymen to quickly push up the cannon and fire a few shots to rub off their energy. Let them know that we also have cannons, and they are powerful red cannons." Eji Hemuler ordered .
"嗻…"
Immediately, the chess and card officer continued to wave flags on horseback and gave orders to Eji Hemuller.
With the flag waving, at this moment, ten heavy red cannons were pushed to the front of the battlefield by the artillerymen.
Under each cannon, the traces of the wheels sinking into the grass showed the strength that the cannon should have.
The Qing army had no choice but to use such artillery. Because the muskets of the bandit suppression army have a relatively long range, if the Qing army uses small guns, they may directly enter the range of the muskets of the bandit suppression army. At that time, a large number of artillery soldiers will die, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
For this reason, Niu Hulu Fu Sen had to use his power to mobilize these ten heavy red cannons.
Ten red cannons are not too many, but not too few. In the view of the Qing army, if they use ten red cannons to attack the small Ma'anshan, even if they cannot flatten it, they can easily capture it.
Slowly, the red cannons of the Qing army were pushed to the front of the army, two miles away from Ma'anshan.
The reason why the Qing army chose the distance of two miles away was because they considered the effective range of the red cannon.
Although the Manchu and Qing court has always claimed that the red cannon can shoot ten miles, in fact, it can only fly this far under special circumstances, but in fact it has no power.
According to the many years of experience of the Qing army's artillery, the maximum effective range of the red cannon is three miles. Considering the problem of ricocheting into mountains, the distance of two miles was chosen.
Also, the Qing army believed that the range of two miles away was completely sufficient to attack the rebels without having to worry about being hit by the rebels' artillery.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
The drums of the battlefield progressed rhythmically and powerfully.
The green battalion soldiers at the forefront of the Qing army watched the artillery being disassembled, installed and debugged. As long as the red cannon was available, they were in a good mood.
"My dear, if so many red cannons were fired at the same time, it would really be enough for the rebels on Ma'anshan to drink a pot!" A thin green soldier said with a smile.
"No, I have never seen a cannon in my whole life. I have seen so many of them this time, and they are such big cannons. It is really eye-opening. I saw that the barrel of the cannon is so wide, and when a shell goes down, Is there no one left?" Another green soldier next to him who was shorter than him replied.
"That's right, don't even think about it, this is called a red cannon. According to others, it can hit ten miles away, and anything the cannonball touches will be immediately shattered. Even stones are the same, let alone people. If it hits someone on the body, it's fine, and they basically don't feel anything. But if it hits a hand or foot, it will be painful." The thin green soldier continued.
"Well, if this really hits someone, it's really unimaginable pain. It's better to die to avoid suffering." As he said this, the shorter green soldier even showed sentimentality.
"Hey, what's going on with you? Even if you are injured, it won't be you. It will only be the rebels on Ma'anshan who are injured. You don't even look at this red cannon, but what do you have on our side? Are you so scared?" The thin green soldier said, actually looking down on the short green soldier.
"I'm just thinking about it! I didn't say I was scared." The short green soldier explained feebly.
"Okay, okay, I know. I know you're very powerful. If you're going to be a gunman later, you'll have to cover your ears quickly so you don't pee in fear. I'll see how you explain it." The thin green soldier said with a smile.
"Screw you, tell me to take care of yourself first!" The short green soldier who was laughed at said with some embarrassment.
