Is the roaring sound of the cannon coming from the front or behind?
Nuerjia was in a panic and couldn't be sure. With a loud "rumbling" sound, the earth wall behind Nuerjia suddenly exploded. A large iron ball weighing more than 20 kilograms broke through with a sweeping momentum. The low wall.
In an instant, several large and small stones piled up on this section of the low wall were stirred up and flew in all directions. The effect was like the shells of a squatting cannon fired at close range.
"Puff...Puff...Puff...Puff..."
Behind Nuerjia, the white flag and vest warriors who were following him were surging in front of or behind him or on their heads. Shoot out streams of blood mist.
No matter how sophisticated and thick the armor on their bodies is, they can't withstand the impact of such sharp rocks. Shooting, six or seven people were hit by gravel and fell to the ground on the spot, rolling and wailing.
"Boom! Boom boom..."
A large iron ball weighing more than 20 kilograms exploded against the earth wall. The powerful impact stirred up dust in the sky, and debris and rocks flew across the entire Qing army's position.
Many people were hit by flying boulders, like sacks. They were thrown out one by one in different postures. Blood spurted out from their mouths, and there was a loud sound of broken bones.
Niuluzhang Jingniurjia fell to the ground with a somersault, and a bloody human head rolled in front of him. The helmet had already fallen from nowhere, revealing a slender pigtail like a money rat tail on the back of his head.
Those eyes were wide open, full of fear and disbelief, and also contained a strong sense of unwillingness.
Nuerjia felt that the head in front of her seemed familiar. When she thought about it carefully, wasn't it the famous warrior Mieleqi in his Niulu?
Next to Mieleqi's blood-gourd-like head, there was a severed arm. It was unknown which unlucky guy it belonged to.
Suddenly, Nuerjia felt something was wrong with his helmet. He stretched out his hand and pulled it, and unexpectedly pulled out a large intestine and small intestine.
Whose?
Whose fuck is this?
Niuluzhang Jingniuerjia had experienced many battles, so he was naturally well-informed about the bloody heads and intestines, so he didn't take it seriously at the moment. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong with his butt.
Could it be that I am missing a piece of meat from my butt?
When I stretched out my hand to check, it was a bit sticky, but it was no big deal. The majestic warrior of the Qing Dynasty, Niu Lu Zhangjing of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, what's the fuss about a small piece of meat on his buttocks?
It would be incredible if there were big rocks inside!
At this time, he vaguely heard the sharp swan sound again from the Ming army's artillery array. Nuerjia couldn't help but trembled. He jumped up quickly and strode towards the main hall of the Empress Temple, followed by The flow of people was obviously much thinner than before.
Just after returning to the main hall of the Empress Temple, I heard the "rumbling" sound of cannons again, deafening, and the iron cannons roared again. There were continuous thunderous explosions, and big iron balls kept coming. They hit the earthen walls, and some even hit the Empress Temple.
The rumbling sound of collapse continued. A newly built lookout post in the northeast corner of the Empress Temple was hit and collapsed instantly.
In the flying dust, screams continued, but more of them were screams and screams. Not only the Korean soldiers and the Tianshu Army were in chaos, but even the Eight Banners warriors responsible for supervising the battle were in chaos, not knowing what to do. good.
King Geng Zhong of Huaishun was clearly calmer. He had been exposed to artillery for a long time and knew that it was difficult for artillery to hit at such a distance. If he ran around and bumped around, he would be more likely to be hit.
He and his subordinate Jia Lazhang Jing He Chenggong were commanding the soldiers of the Tianyou Army to adjust their artillery array. The two of them also had a clear division of labor. Geng Zhongming commanded a group of Han army gunners to adjust the angle of the artillery. The muzzle of the gun was facing He Zhenxiong's Ming on the mountain road. military.
As long as they took a few dozen steps forward and entered the range of his own artillery, he would launch a bombardment and give the Ming army a taste of being bombarded.
And He Chenggong was commanding the Tianyou Army soldiers to brave the artillery fire, move several large-caliber artillery in the direction of the Ming Army's artillery array, and deploy them as far forward as possible. No matter whether they could hit the Ming Army's positions or not, they couldn't just hit them. Just be bombarded like this and not fight back.
…………
Niuluzhang Jingniuerjia was still in shock. He hid in the main hall of the Empress Temple, listening to the continuous bombardment outside, with rumbling explosions coming one after another.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" and a big iron cannon crashed from the top of the hall. Bricks, broken wood and bricks flew everywhere, and the whole room was filled with dust.
After the cannon fell, it continued unabated, injuring two Eight Banners warriors one after another, and one person was pinned to the ground by a broken log and could not stop wailing.
Niurjia was extremely angry and cursed: "What is King Huaishun doing? Why don't you fight back?"
After scolding Geng Zhongming, he noticed the appearance of everyone around him. He saw all of them with gray heads and faces. Many of them were covered in blood, and they didn't know where they were infected.
In particular, the left arm of Uta, the number one warrior in his Niulu, was actually empty. At the broken point, the white bones were exposed, and there were still some remaining red meat strands on it. The condition was horrible to look at.
Uta couldn't help trembling. His right hand was tightly covering his broken arm. Bean-sized beads of cold sweat couldn't help falling from his forehead. It turned out that the broken arm Nuerjia saw just now was actually his.
Everyone in the main hall of the Empress Temple was stunned, including Niu Luzhangjing of the Heavenly Blessing Army who was originally guarding the hall, and the chief and deputy chiefs of the Korean Army.
The Ming army's artillery fire was so fierce that they were all blinded. Following Niuluzhang Jingniuerjia's gaze, only then did the army notice the tragic situation of Uta.
Everyone was shouting: "Uta is injured, bandage him quickly..."
Finally, someone noticed Nuerjia’s butt: “Ah, Nuerjia Niulu’s butt is injured, quickly...quickly bandage it...”
…………
In the artillery array in the front camp of the Shenji Camp of the Ming Army, the gun cleaners of each artillery immediately started cleaning the gun barrels with woolen wooden brushes moistened with water immediately after the artillery was fired. They could hear the continuous "whistle" sound of water vapor evaporating. White steam, like mist, kept coming out of the muzzle.
After the gun barrel was cleaned, the loader took a new propellant pack and filled it in. At the same time, a gunner's thumb pressed on the fire door to prevent the airflow from flowing back and igniting the unclean embers.
Finally, the iron marbles were introduced, compacted with a stick, and a new ignition cord was installed at the fire door, and everything was ready.
Since the four-wheeled gun mounts used by the Hongyi cannon in the former camp were fixed with piles, the artillery retreat was smaller and it was easier to reset, making aiming and calibration easier.
Chen Jiugao was very satisfied with the results of the artillery bombardment. Although he could not see the situation inside the Qing army's artillery array, his own artillery bombarded the Qing army's artillery array, but the Qing army's artillery array was like a mute. In this way, Hong Duchen, Commander Zhang, and everyone How can I not make him happy when he shows his face in front of the commander-in-chief?
He roared loudly: "Hi, sons and daughters, let me blow up my mother-in-law so hard that I will blow out all the shit and piss from the Tartars!"
The sharp sound of the swan trumpet continued to be heard, and the artillery roared from the artillery position of the front camp. The deafening sound was endless, the smoke was thick, and the large and heavy iron bullets roared away, rushing towards the Qing artillery at the Empress Temple. Array.
