Ganzhou City Head.
Agui, Fukang'an, and Eldenbao were three Manchu officials in Ganzhou City.
At this time, he was hunched over and lying on the battlement, holding up his binoculars to look at the Ming army's artillery that was rumbling out.
After the Ming army's "demon ball" rose into the air.
The Ming army pulled out several giant cannons.
A very tall and strong draft horse was used.
It looked like the bombardment was about to begin.
And before that.
Agui sprinkled the black dog's blood on the city in front of the Ganzhou garrison soldiers.
This gave the Ganzhou defenders a lot of peace of mind.
Now they began to worry about the defenders of Golden Castle.
"The Golden Castle was originally a pure military fortress. Where can I find the blood of a black dog?"
"What can we do? We can't even withdraw."
"What can I do? Just hold on. Having said that, God may not still be on their side of the Ming Dynasty."
"Yes, yes, to be honest, it was Li Zicheng who destroyed the Ming Dynasty. God has already avenged them. Li Zicheng died without a burial place!"
"Yes, this injustice has its owner and its owner. It is you, Ming Dynasty, and Li Zicheng who have the greatest enmity."
A group of Eight Banners men were also lying on the battlements, looking eagerly at the two hot air balloons in mid-air.
It was so scary.
Agui said it was a monster.
The Eight Banners men themselves were a little unconvinced.
Would God help the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty?
The current belief and self-confidence of the Eight Banners men is not strong enough.
After all, we are Tatars.
Tatars who do all kinds of evil.
How can God help us?
But this cannot be said.
Whoever says it will die.
So everyone tacitly mentioned the matter of God.
Anyway, all the black dog blood was used.
Whether it's useful or not is a matter for you gods.
The fight between gods does not harm mortals.
This is the rule.
Talk about it.
A Gui's set of operations really worked.
Everyone's military morale has also stabilized.
On the one hand, Ganzhou City has a high city and a deep pool, and on the other hand, it has sufficient supplies.
Why worry about not being able to hold on?
...
"Who is the guard of this Golden Castle?"
Zhu Daohua asked with a frown.
"It's Zhu Shedou, I heard he's a fierce general!"
Tao Biquan said.
"It's no wonder. Agui sent a Han military officer from the Green Camp to guard the Golden Fort. It seems that Zhu Shedou has two skills."
Zhu Daohua said with regret.
Two more brushes were useless.
The battlefield is now unilaterally transparent to the Ming army.
Plus there are powerful new artillery shells.
This golden castle cannot be justified unless it is defeated in one battle.
...
Gunnery commander Liu Dazhu whistled and directed the artillerymen of his battery to untie the tow ropes hanging on the horses. Then he slowly turned his head under the weight of the shells, and the dark muzzle pointed diagonally at the Golden Fort.
"Stabilize the artillery base!"
Liu Dakuang shouted an order.
soon.
The six-man gun crew was divided into three teams.
Work in pairs.
Liu Dakuang and his deputy were responsible for the fixed support in the middle of the two wheels.
He pulled down the fixed support and smashed the three-foot-long steel nails into the ground, firmly fixing the gun support on the ground.
Then two more sandbags were brought in to compact the front support of the gun.
at the same time.
The other two groups of gunners dug two small pits, pressed the two support legs extending from the sides of the artillery into the pits, fixed them with steel nails, then tamped the soil and pressed them with sandbags.
This way.
A stable gun position is complete.
Almost as complete as Liu Dakuang's artillery group, there are seven other artillery groups.
There were only eight such artillery pieces in the Ming army, and they were all
Next is...
Liu Dakuang looked in the direction of the hot air balloon.
"Aim...in the future direction!"
Liu Dakuang said loudly.
Then a gunner turned the mechanical turntable to turn the gun's direction to the corresponding scale.
"Sixty-degree elevation angle, level 1 propellant, test fire one round, reload!"
Three gunners opened the shell boxes.
The shells, propellant and primer were taken out respectively.
A gunner opened the breech fire door.
The primer is stuffed in first.
This is an ignition device similar to a flash cap gun, which uses a firing pin to ignite the gunpowder in the primer.
The propellant is wrapped in silk into a cylinder, which can just fit along the muzzle and is plugged tightly with a poke strip. The needle of the primer pierces the silk outer cover to ensure that the propellant can be ignited smoothly after the primer is activated.
Next came the cannonballs.
It is a cone-shaped cannonball that is stamped in one piece.
One end is pointed and the other is wide.
There is also a bell-shaped copper tube on the wider end of the steel-cased projectile.
Copper pipe is softer than steel.
Since the Ming army is still using front-loading cannons, it has not yet developed rear-loading cannons.
Therefore, in order to smoothly insert the cannonball from the muzzle, it also allows the cannonball to smoothly engage the rifling after being fired - yes, this is a rifled cannon.
We can only make such a compromised design.
After the propellant is ignited, it will expand the bell mouth, achieving the effect of high-speed rotation and stable ballistic trajectory after the shell engages the rifling.
And this cannonball actually has a mechanical fuze - a simple cone-shaped mechanical device installed at the top of the cannonball.
After the safety is removed, the centrifugal force generated by violent rotation excites the spring firing pin.
Light the wooden tube rotating fuse.
This kind of mechanical fuze is much safer and more reliable than the previous wooden tube plug-in fuze.
It can be said.
This is the crystallization of the current military technology of the Ming Dynasty. It is the most high-tech front-loading rifled gun in the world.
Consider that you only need to conquer the technology tree of the breech-loading cannon.
This kind of front-loading rifled gun will be eliminated.
Therefore the quantities produced were not large.
Only eight were produced - and they were all produced in time for the Battle of Jiangxi.
Otherwise, follow Zhu Daohua's wishes.
This kind of artillery will not be considered mature until at least the technology of breech-loading guns is conquered.
Ironclad ship with breech-mounted rifled gun.
This can be regarded as a complete revival of the battleship era of "big gun ships".
"Report! Loading completed!"
"fire!"
"yes!"
"fire!"
"fire!"
Every tactical move must be repeated loudly.
This is the provision of the Ming military drill code.
With a hard pull on the drawstring.
The firing pin fires the primer.
The propellant exploded.
A violent explosion propelled the shell.
It rotates violently in the direction of the rifling.
Accompanied by a tongue of flame from the muzzle.
The bang made the surrounding air tremble.
The cannon body and the ground shook suddenly,
next moment.
Smoke and dust rose.
At the top of the city of Golden Castle, Zhu Shedou only heard a loud noise, and a black spot drew a parabola in the air and headed towards the direction where the weapons and elixirs were stored in the Golden Castle.
"fine..."
After seeing the impact point of the cannonball.
Zhu Shedou just breathed a sigh of relief.
boom! !
An explosion hundreds of times louder than thunder suddenly sounded, and an earthquake occurred throughout the Golden Castle.
Zhu Shedou shook suddenly.
I just felt a black shadow passing over my head.
Before he could react.
A Goshiha next to him suddenly fell backward.
He turned around and looked.
My chest was beaten to pieces by something unknown.
Zhu Shedou was not thankful.
He turned to look inside the Golden Castle.
The violent explosion knocked people around for several feet into silence. Their bodies seemed to be floating in the wind like leaves blown by the wind, and then they seemed to be torn apart by a tornado.
And on a larger scale.
Many soldiers were hit by bomb fragments.
Some are luckier.
Hit in the head or chest.
He died immediately.
And some were concentrated on the arms and calves.
He was watching his own pulpy and broken bones wailing, dying slowly in pain and fear.
Zhu Shedou's ears were buzzing.
He couldn't hear anything anymore.
He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The scene before him completely subverted all his perceptions.
In this world...
How could there be such a powerful weapon?
How could it not be?
This is one loaded with 10 kilograms of yellow gunpowder.
It’s almost the modern metric weight of 7 kilograms.
Although the Ming army also had explosives before.
But because it is wooden and cast iron.
On the one hand, in order to resist chamber pressure.
Don’t use too much propellant.
As a result, the range is not too far.
Secondly.
It's because the wooden supports and cast iron take up too much volume.
Resulting in insufficient charge.
Therefore, the explosion power is not very powerful.
And now this kind of shell.
It uses a one-piece die-cast steel shell.
The shell casing is thinner.
At the same time, the charge capacity is larger.
It can withstand more propellants.
Plus having rifling.
Longer range.
The trajectory is also more stable! !
The technical reserves of this newly developed artillery.
If the technology of breech-loading cannon can be developed again.
Then based on this basis, artillery shells with larger caliber, more explosive charge, and longer range can be developed.
Of course.
Now on land.
The 3-inch size is enough.
but.
If it's on a battleship.
With a size of three inches/100 mm, it can only be considered a small water pipe at best.
On those steel behemoths.
There are often two to three hundred millimeter cannons.
They abound.
One shot passed.
Liu Dazhu looked at the sky.
on the sky.
Semaphore conveys information.
"The azimuth deflection is 1 degree, and the muzzle angle is reduced by 5 degrees!"
"Eight cannons have unified parameters!"
"Prepare to fire!"
"preparation!"
"put!!"
Boom boom boom!
The artillery group composed of eight three-inch guns suddenly shook.
Fire poured out.
Thunderous gunfire and white smoke.
A deadly symphony of death.
The shells flew over the city wall and launched a blanket bombing towards the suspected ammunition storage area!
"not good!"
Zhu Shedou was shocked.
next moment...
boom!
boom!
boom!
The explosion of the shells bloomed flowers of death on the ground.
Maybe not long.
A dull explosion sounded.
The next moment.
On the ground of the entire Golden Castle.
The gunpowder that was thrown into the air exploded.
And then explode.
An even more terrifying explosion energy was produced.
Zhu Shedou, who was standing on the city wall, groaned.
Then he was lifted up by a huge shock wave...
The entire Golden Castle fell into a sea of fire...
This is not surprising either.
Because the Golden Fort is just a fortress with a radius of only fifty meters.
There are more than 700 kilograms of well-made black powder stored in this fort.
The black powder was thrown into the air by the bomb, causing a horrific explosion.
The Qing army in Ganzhou City, and the Ming army stationed more than 800 steps away from the Golden Fort.
I only saw a ball of sparks rising from this fortress that covered the entire fortress...
"It's over..."
"Ni Ming...there are really gods who can help!"
Many Qing soldiers and generals witnessed this incident.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the previous fight with gods.
Suddenly...
Like falling into an ice cave.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
