"What kind of firearm is this thief using? How could it be so sharp?" The Qianmasters of the battalions watching the battle on the sand slope were shocked.

They have seen firearms, but whether they are muskets or cannons, they fire solid projectiles.

Even if the mortars transmitted by some Westerners can use flowering bullets, the explosion cannot be such a big killing, right?

In fact, it is not a big deal that these Qing soldiers have never seen the world. In fact, this kind of thing will not appear in China more than three hundred years later.

If Liu Yu on Luzon Island was here at this moment, he would probably be very surprised.

The Ming army mortar cannons and stone casters did not fire any projectiles or flowering bullets.

Instead, a gunpowder jar filled with black gunpowder.

While fighting in Anhua County, the Ming army used black gunpowder tanks to cause huge casualties to the Qing army.

Now the Ming army's copper mortar cannon and catapult are launched by this modified black powder tank.

In order to increase lethality, the Ming army also specially asked the craftsmen to modify a batch of black gunpowder to increase the capacity of the can, which is more than twice the size of the black gunpowder tanks that the Ming army carried with them before.

A large number of sharp objects were added to it, such as iron nails, iron spikes, etc.

Although this thing is not at a high range, even if it is fired with a mortar, it is only a distance of 200 or 300 steps.

But the lethality is really amazing, with just a dozen gunpowder tanks.

Just on the battlefield below the city, more than a dozen shallow pits with black smoke were cleared out.

Two or three hundred Qing soldiers who rushed up died and injured in a short time.

You should know that this is only tens or hundreds of breaths away from the Qing army's rushing to the range of the mortar cannon.

If the Ming army guarding the city had to use bows, arrows, muskets and cannons repeatedly blocking the attack, it would probably take a quarter of an hour to blow up this effect.

The effect of this artillery was even shocked by the Ming generals who were defending the city, let alone the Qing officers and soldiers who were sieging the city.

For a moment, the Qing army officers and soldiers guarding behind each opened their eyes wide and looked at the battlefield filled with smoke in front of them with horror.

Where did the Guangdong Green Camp soldiers present have seen this scene?

After all, it has been more than ten years since the last war to triumph against the Three Feudalists, and these soldiers are newly recruited. If they were asked to fight against the thieves with real swords and guns, it would be fine.

After all, those who can enter the military camp and dare to go to the battlefield are all bloody.

But they have never seen this scene where the enemy has not seen it, the city wall has not touched it, and it has become a blood clot in the sound of thunder-like explosions.

Looking at the dusty battlefield, even the Qing generals were panicked for a while.

"This must be because the thief buried a large amount of explosives under the city wall, it must be like this." Li Qidou, deputy general of the Humen Battalion of the Qing army, said pretending to be calm.

"Yes, yes, what the general said is that the thieves must have buried a large amount of gunpowder under this Qiongshan City." Several other generals present also agreed.

After all, the scene under the city is really too terrifying, so I can only explain it this way.

A large amount of gunpowder was buried under the city, and then ignited with a rocket, which eventually triggered a big explosion.

At this moment, the Qing army generals could only find such a reason.

"Soldiers don't have to be afraid. This is just that the thieves buried gunpowder under the city tower." Li Qidou led his horse to the Qing soldiers and shouted loudly.

"This thief is so treacherous. He buried gunpowder under this sand. Now the vanguard army has cleared the gunpowder formation for us. The soldiers can fight with peace of mind." Several thousand generals from the Humen Camp stepped forward to explain.

"The first person to attack the city tower will receive one hundred taels of silver." Li Qidou shouted loudly.

As the saying goes, there must be courage under heavy rewards.

Soon some Qing troops who were not afraid of death continued to move forward.

In fact, most Qing soldiers didn't know what gunpowder was at all.

The reason why they were afraid was that the sudden bursts of thunderous explosions and the inexplicable explosions of blood and blood, falling down in pieces.

Now, seeing that there were leaders who were not afraid of death and continued to rush, these Qing soldiers naturally rushed up.

"Sir, the Qing army continues to attack the city."

Looking at the Qing army officers and soldiers who continued to rush towards the city, Wang An sneered.

In fact, he thought that these thunder cans did not have much effect.

Who would have thought that it would bring such a big surprise to the Ming army guarding the city.

Now Wang Anba cannot continue to charge the Qing army under the city.

In this way, the Ming army would kill and injure more Qing troops under the city, and avoid the Qing army from attacking and killing in other directions of prefectures and counties.

"It seems that seven or eight hundred Qing soldiers were slaughtering towards the distant fort." A assistant chief said.

"There are only 300 defenders on the fort. Will something happen?" Several Ming generals looked sad when they saw the Qing army split their troops and rushed towards the fort.

"If the elite troops of Huben Town, which the Governor relied most, cannot stop the 800 Green Camp soldiers, then Zhu Linyu should commit suicide and apologize." Wang An snorted coldly, not paying attention to the direction of the fort.

After all, the war under the city is more intense now, and the Qing army has at least two thousand people under the city.

"Brothers, rush." ​​This time, General Huang became smart and did not lead the team to rush.

The last time he was lucky, the closest fire thunder can was twenty or thirty steps away.

But the eyes were only damaged by the flying sand and rocks raised by the explosion.

But they were still staying in front of the central army, which made the Qing soldiers present excited and shouted to kill the enemy and serve the country, and rushed towards the city wall in front.

But what greeted them was not the arrows and projectiles of the Ming army, but one black pot after another.

These clay pots are reinforced with a layer of copper.

It prevents it from falling to the ground and blowing.

The fuse ignition speed is quite fast, giving the Qing army only one or two seconds to react.

There were waves of muffled thunder and sounds.

What followed was the dust and blood that soared into the sky.

Every dozens or hundreds of breaths, more than a dozen gunpowder jars will fly over.

Every time it is a baptism of ghosts crying and howling.

The battlefield was full of smoke and dust.

In addition to the large number of iron nails and iron pieces filled in the gunpowder jar, a large number of Qing soldiers were killed and killed.

Some Qing soldiers were not injured by the blowout at some distance from the gunpowder tank, but the iron nails that flew out of the explosion stabbed their arms and thighs.

The explosion effect of black gunpowder is naturally not as strong as that of those in later generations, but the effect of using cans and cans is different if it is used for dozens of kilograms or dozens of kilograms.

At this time, under the city walls, there were corpses of Qing army officers and soldiers everywhere, but more were wounded Qing army soldiers rolling all over the ground.

Many Qing army officers and soldiers were covered with iron nails and wailed and howled.

With just a few rounds of artillery bombardment, most of the five or six hundred Qing troops charged were lost.

One or two hundred Qing army officers and soldiers who rushed under the city wall were baptized by the Ming army's bronze skin fire thunder.

At this moment, hundreds of Qing soldiers were covered with corpses of hundreds of Qing soldiers, and hundreds of Qing soldiers were covered in blood, lying there wailing.

Less than half a quarter of an hour after siege, the Qing army actually lost five or six hundred people.

This made General Huang, who was sieging the city, still unable to recover from his senses for a long time.

"Bandits, bandits!" General Huang yelled with a steel knife, his eyes covered with blood, and was forcibly pulled away by several Qing soldiers beside him.

In this battle, all the Qing soldiers who attacked the city were scared.

They did not attack the city and set up ladders. They did not even see the enemy's shadow, and then they lost five or six hundred people.

Looking at the entire battlefield, hundreds of Qing soldiers' bodies were lying there in a row, and hundreds of Qing soldiers were lying on the ground wailing.
