The chain bomb is completely learned from the Florians. Two solid bullets are connected by iron chains. When fired, they will form a rotation. Anything that is swept down by iron chains will be discounted, whether it is a human body or a mast. However, this ammunition is very large in size and cannot be fired by ordinary cannons. Only ten heavy cannons, or twenty-four-pound cannons, can be used.

When Yan Qingshan ordered to go to the first artillery deck, the sailors took out something like a bucket from the ammunition box. This is the chain bullet, with thin iron sheets on the outside. After the two solid lead bullets are released, they will tear the thin iron sheets on the outside due to different speeds. At the same time, the two lead bullets are connected with intermediate iron chains, forming a rotation effect and breaking all blocking things on the road. Because the chain bullets are very heavy, they can only use large-caliber cannons to have combat effectiveness. In this way, heavy cannons with a caliber of fifteen centimeters become the only choice.

At this time, the eight tower ships of the Manqing Navy opposite were close to five hundred meters. The sailors loaded the chain bullets into the cannon and waited for the orders of the gun captain.

"Aim at the largest tower ship in front and fire the gun!"

With the command of the gun and cannon leader, ten heavy cannons opened fire. The chain bullets were unfolded ten meters after being released, and hit the target in a second. At this time, the deck of the Qing Dynasty tower ships were soldiers ready to jump gangs, and two chain bullets hit the crowd. One-meter-long iron chain passed through the crowd like a guillotine, and the soldiers were cut in half.

Zhao Zhilong was frightened by the tragic situation on the deck. He didn't expect the cannon opposite to be so powerful. Just as he was stunned, the second round of chain blasts came over. This time he was unlucky. A chain blast hit the main mast. The main mast was interrupted, and the flagship's speed immediately slowed down.

At this time, Yan Qingshan's fleet was at the best position from the Manqing Navy. His own light and heavy artillery could hit enemy ships, but their artillery did not have such a large range and could only be beaten. The maximum range of the tiger squat cannons on those tower ships was less than 500 meters, while the Folang machine cannon was only 200 meters.

Because Yan Qingshan's distance was closer, the accuracy increased greatly. At this time, the Mengchong and Fire Attack ships that had been cleared, Yan Qingshan was able to bombard the opponent with all the artillery. Yan Qingshan ordered the big ships to be attacked first, mainly because the eight tall building ships pose too much threat to Yan Qingshan.

At this time, the flagship with the main mast broken was in trouble, and all the firepower was concentrated on it. After several shots under the waterline, the ship, which had a capacity of 1,000 tons, began to sink. Zhao Zhilong on the ship was already dead due to the rain of shotguns.

Zhao Zhilong's death brought chaos to the Manqing Navy. Yan Qingshan took advantage of this chaos to expand the results and began to bombard other building ships.

At this moment, Zhao Guoliang and his group of eight small boats passed by the battlefield from afar. Qian Sunai saw the water battle in the distance and asked, "General Zhao, is the King of Chu's fleet there?"

"Which side has few people, did the young master see five large ships connected into the front line? That is the navy of the King of Chu."

At this time, Yan Qingshan was firing around a tower ship, and bursts of smoke and cannon sound came over. Qian Sunai was excited to see it and asked, "General Zhao, how many big ships are there in my brother-in-law like this?"

"I don't know this, but Navy Admiral Yan said that one of these big ships can be launched every two months."

"That's great. I have to be a captain when I go to Guangdong. It's so majestic."

Zhao Guoliang is an army and looks down on these water rats very much. Seeing Qian Sunai wanting to be a navy, he couldn't help but say, "Young master, you haven't seen the heroic figure of our army. It's much better than these water rats in the navy."

Qian Sunai, who was interested, was about to ask the army what good things were when Chen's voice came from the cabin: "Ai'er, come in quickly, there is a war outside, don't hurt you." Chen also saw the war outside in the cabin being overturned. As a housewife, he didn't understand why a man was energetic when he mentioned the war. At this time, he heard Qian Sunai in the cabin that he was going to join the army, so Chen could agree. In her heart, her child was going to take the exam for fame and status, so how could he become Qiu Ba?

Qian Sunai is Qian Qianyi's second son, and his eldest son is with Qian Qianyi for many years. Although Qian Sunai was born to Zhu, he was raised by Chen when he was a child, so Qian Sunai and Qian Yuting had a good relationship. Chen was afraid that Qian Sunai would really go to join the army with impulse, so he spoke out and asked his son to come back.

Qian Sunai heard his mother's voice and entered the cabin reluctantly. Zhao Guoliang smiled distractedly. He saw a lot of young people like Qian Sunai. Outside the Dongguan military camp, there were young people who were attracted to the army's beautiful military uniforms every day. However, his military uniform was so handsome that Zhao Guoliang couldn't help but sort out his clothes when he thought of this.

At this time, the water battle on the Yangtze River opposite had come to an end. After more than a dozen large ships were sunk, the other small boats began to flee in all directions. Yan Qingshan was not in the mood to care about them. Now he was going to go back to rescue Qian Yong from Jiangyin as soon as possible.

Qian Yong was not feeling well. When the navy ship left, Yan Qingshan gave Qian Yong the time to persevere for one day and he would come back.

Boluo, the general of the Qing Dynasty's southern expedition, saw the five giant ships on the dock leaving from a distance, and the navy on his side followed him. Boluo ordered Liu Liangzuo and Kong Youde to lead all 200,000 Han troops to attack the city immediately.

Boluo was not sure whether his navy could defeat the Ming army's navy, so he had to attack the city with all his might and strive to capture Jiangyin City in one go. In order to boost morale, Boluo also ordered to enter the city without a knife for three days. This command would be to be the whole Han army to be excited. Why is it for the soldiers? Isn't it just to make some money? So the Han army was ready to attack the city.

At this time, all the red-clothed cannons in the Qing Dynasty had been repaired. Four of them were really not repaired, and there were twenty red-clothed cannons to be used. Now these were also operated by the gunners trained by Kong Youdexin, and they were ready to start bombarding the north gate of Jiangyin.

Why choose the North Gate? Because this place was bombarded by artillery more than ten days ago. Although it has been repaired, it is still incomparable to the original city wall, so Boro also sets the location of the general attack at the North Gate.

The unlucky guy Liu Liangzuo's butt injury had not healed at this time, but he had no choice but to carry it to the battlefield by four personal soldiers.

When he arrived outside the north gate, Liu Liangzuo saw Kong Youde and hurried forward to thank him for his life a few days ago. Kong Youde sighed.

"General Liu, don't thank you for your kindness first. It would be fine if we can take Jiangyin this time, but we both will be in trouble."

"This time the sea ships opposite are gone, isn't King Gongshun still not confident?"

Kong Youde shook his head and said, "General Liu doesn't know that water battles are not entirely driven by quantity. The Ming army's ships are large and the firepower is strong. I think our navy may not be able to win."

"What should I do?"

"There is no choice but to attack the city with all your strength and strive to capture Jiangyin City before the Ming Navy returns."

At this time, Boluo's messenger came and shouted: "Kong Youde, Liu Liangzuo obeyed the order, the general of the Southern Expedition had the order, and immediately began to attack the city!"

Kong Youde cursed in his heart that such a small Manchu messenger didn't take him seriously and even called him his name. But there was no way, the situation was better than others.

Kong Youde sent the order and the gunner started shooting. The artillery profession is a purely technical job, not just a few laborers to train for a few days. Although the Qing Dynasty could fire, the accuracy was much worse. It would be good if ten shells could hit one. Fortunately, the range of the Qing Dynasty artillery was far stronger than that of the Ming army in the city, so there was no need to worry about being retaliated and hit.

Qian Yong in the city saw that the opposite Qing Dynasty began to attack, and quickly ordered the battle to prepare. Qian Yong's artillery on the side were all army artillery, with a range of only two miles, while the opposite Qing Dynasty was all 10,000 kilograms of red-branded cannons with a range of three miles. This kind of artillery can only be beaten but not fight back.

Qian Yong saw that the Qing Dynasty mainly bombarded the North Gate and knew that the main attack direction was still the North Gate. Qian Yong said to Yan Yingyuan: "Yan Dianshi, I think the main attack direction of the Tartars is still the North Gate. I will take people to guard the North Gate, and leave you an artillery company at the east gate."

"Okay, please contact General Qian, North Gate, please rest assured."

Qian Yong nodded and led his people to the north gate.

Because a section of the city wall has been collapsed, the emergency repairs and construction in the past few days are not very solid, so Qian Yong is still worried about this place.

The facts also proved Qian Yong's concern. Although the red-clothed cannon on the opposite side was not accurate enough, it could not withstand the accumulation of time. Two hours later, the rebuilt city wall finally failed to hold on and collapsed with a bang.

Kong Youde outside the city saw the city wall collapse and said to Liu Liangzuo beside him: "Sir Liu, it depends on you this time. Whether our buddies can be promoted or made a fortune is in your hands."

Liu Liangzuo cursed in his heart. It seemed that Kong Youde could not conquer the city with him, but there was no way. Kong Youde was better than him and had higher qualifications. If he was unlucky, he would be the first one to be unlucky.

Liu Liangzuo was a typical example of forcing Liangshan. There was no way to do it if he didn't fight his life. Liu Liangzuo climbed down from the stretcher regardless of the pain in his butt and shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers, it's just this time that the promotion and wealth are the ones who break the city and don't seal the sword. The silver women are all for everyone. I am here to guarantee that I will never take one tael of silver from you. How much do you rob me?"

When Liu Liangzuo's subordinates heard this, their morale was greatly boosted and they howled and rushed towards the city wall.

Kong Youde, who was next to him, saw the new army rushing up and ordered his Han army flag to follow him.

Qian Yong in the city saw that the city wall had collapsed, so he quickly ordered a defense circle to be formed at the collapse of the city wall to prevent the Qing army from entering the city.

It has just half a day passed since Yan Qingshan agreed to, and now it has been dark. Qian Yong knows that he will rely on himself for the battle tonight.
