In the north direction of Fancheng defense circle, He Feihu set up nine general cannons and twenty-five chariot and cavalry general cannons.

Hundreds of gunners made preparations before firing according to their respective gun groups in an orderly manner, and experienced gunners adjusted their shooting angles at their own pace.

They faced a large number of Song army camps set up on traffic roads, next to waterways and on hills and high grounds.

Most of these military camps are simple fortresses, with relatively strong external defenses, with arrow towers, watchtowers inside, and long-range strike weapons such as bed crossbows and powerful crossbows. They are also equipped with a certain number of firearms, which can strike condescendingly against the Ming army approaching the attack.

The Ming army's response to this was to give full play to the advantages of artillery and use the advantages of artillery to carry out dimensionality reduction strikes on the Song army camp.

Xu Tong, who was unfamiliar with all this, said nothing, followed He Feihu honestly and listened to his orders. Seeing his actions, he did not dare to cause any trouble to him.

Time passed by little by little, and soon, the time for preparation for attack came, and the gunners also fully completed the preparation for firing.

The effective range of the General's cannon is larger, so the General's cannon is the first to fire.

After the general artillery destroyed the external defense of the Song army camp and caused panic among the internal defenders, the chariots and cavalry general artillery entered their predetermined range and launched a round of shooting at the remaining military camp residues and the Song army in the military camp.

The shooting of chariots and cavalry generals is fast and effective. The purpose is to completely destroy the defense facilities inside the Song army camp, to smash them into ruins, and completely lose the ability to counterattack.

After the shooting of the chariots and cavalry generals' artillery is over, the Song army camp will basically be in ruins. At this time, the infantry and musketeers of the Shenji Camp will begin to advance, clear away the remaining enemies, kill all the remaining Song soldiers, and create conditions for the artillery group to further advance and establish a new artillery position.

Then there is the next round of General's cannon repositioning and shooting.

It takes about half an hour to prepare for a new round of shooting of the General Cannon, so in an ideal state, the chariot, general cannon and infantry of the Shenji Camp should strangle the remaining enemies within this half hour. When the General Cannon is ready, the next round of shooting will begin.

This cycle continued until all the Song army camps were destroyed together.

According to such a proper established tactic, the loss can be greatly reduced while using the advantage of artillery to greatly increase the casualties of the enemy, which is very conducive to maintaining the continuous combat capability of the Shenji Battalion.

Seeing that the time was almost over, He Feihu nodded to the messenger beside him, indicating that the gun team could start firing cannons.

The general's cannon, who had never been on the battlefield, is finally about to show its strength here.

The long and desolate horn sounded slowly, and the leaders of the artillery groups of the major generals yelled and issued the firing order. The members of the artillery group stuffed iron bullets into the muzzle and lit the leads with torches.

He Feihu signaled Xu Tong to cover his ears as he did. Xu Tong was confused and did as he did, covering his ears.

He originally thought that doing this seemed a bit too much, and he thought that what would happen if the sound sounded again, but when the explosion sound and the sudden earth shocked him, he realized that it made sense for He Feihu to let him do this.

Even though he covered his ears, the bursting sound still penetrated his palms and stimulated his eardrums, making him feel a palpitation.

The earth's vibration caused by the huge movement was truly conveyed to him through the soles of his feet.

A huge white air mass suddenly exploded, and the entire artillery position was filled with a large amount of white smoke.

At the forefront of his sight, he seemed to see the huge iron bullets swiftlying away with a strong airflow falling to the ground, smashing the wooden military camp of the Song army that blocked it, and smashing the unlucky Song army soldiers on the ground to pieces, without any corpses.

In fact, the same is true.

At such a distance, even within the effective range of the general's artillery, the shells fell steadily and accurately into the Song army camp, and in an instant it was a collapse of the sky and the earth.

Many Song soldiers were directly hit by artillery shells, instantly completing the transformation from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, realizing their own artisticization.

Some Song soldiers were not directly hit, but within the power range of the shells falling to the ground, the huge impact force directly tore their bodies apart, and one charming and cruel blood flower bloomed in the air.

The soldiers who stood farther were not two-dimensional, nor were they torn apart, but the huge impact force still lifted them up to fly ultra-low altitude, and then hit some obstacles heavily.

Unlucky, he was shocked by the reaction force and died on the spot. He fell to the ground and rolled a few times. He felt that his internal organs had shifted and he almost lost his combat power.

In this case, those who can maintain their combat effectiveness and do not die, can be called the son of God.

However, there are also those who are relatively weak in the Chosen Son. They were directly hit by such a wave of dimensional reduction strikes that they had never seen before. Although their body was not dead, their spirit was already dead.

The shells of the general's cannon are several times heavier than the shells of the chariot and cavalry general's cannon, and the amount of gunpowder fired is several times greater. The power it fires far exceeds that of the chariot and cavalry general's cannon, and the cannon of the chariot and cavalry general's cannon is enough to destroy these military camps, let alone the cannons that specifically target cities like Xiangyang.

The reason why the general's artillery was put on the battlefield was to increase the combat experience of the general's artillery team and make them more familiar with the human weapon they operated.

The second is to speed up the progress of the battle and reduce the combat time of the entire battle, so as to reduce the economic losses that Ming Dynasty needs to bear for this battle, and save as much as possible.

Such a simple concept of saving is certainly not something that ordinary people can understand.

Although Xu Tong is his own person, he has never seen such a cruel weapon on earth, so his mind is blank and he is at a loss.

Of course, similar to Xu Tong, there are also the ones who have a blank mind and are at a loss in the city of Song Jun, the former acting coach Zhou Benyuan.

He stood at the highest point at the head of Fancheng City, climbed up to see the distance, and from his perspective, he could clearly see the Song army camp destroyed by Ming army artillery shells.

At that time, he was patrolling the city and looking into the distance, trying to see the Ming army's troops deployed. Then he was frightened to see that several military camps in the north were subjected to a strange blow. A high tower of a military camp even collapsed directly after the attack, and the military camp was completely destroyed almost instantly.

What's even more strange is that the loud roar like thunder was only heard after he saw the scene of the military camp being hit hard.

What is that?

Zhou Benyuan didn't know.

At the same time, on the city tower of Dongcheng, several officers and soldiers also witnessed the scene of several military camps being hit by terror. The solid military camp was destroyed and in a mess.

Although the distance is relatively far and they don't see it very clearly, they probably can see that the complete building was hit and damaged.

That was in a moment, it was a moment.

In the past, if such a situation occurred, it would have been a trencher, and it would have been a super-large trencher. In fact, the Song army anticipated this situation, so they made some plans for the attack on the trencher, and even made some plans to deal with the attack on the Ming munitions.

But all of this seems meaningless.

Zhou Benyuan was shocked and immediately sent someone out of the city to inquire about the specific situation, and then brought the latest news to him. More and more generals also climbed to the top of Fancheng City, watching the terrifying scenes in surprise.

Once the attack of the Shenji Camp begins, it will not end easily. Although the General's cannon takes more time to readjust the angle, compact the land, and water and cool down, the huge power is still real.

Xu Tong and He Feihu stood together and saw with their own eyes that the shells fired from the general's artillery rapidly penetrated the frontal defense of a Song army camp, causing a burst of dust to fall into it. The village suddenly fell to the ground in pieces, and the people inside didn't know how many people were still alive.

At the same time, in the other two directions, eight general artillery bombarded the Fancheng defense circle, and the roar of artillery was deafening.

Before Xu Tong could react, the three rounds of bombardment had ended, and the general's gun mission was completed. The next step was to cool down, maintain, clean the inner chamber, adjust to the next launch position, etc.

The next thing belongs to the remaining infantry and cavalry and musketeers in the chariot and cavalry group and the Shenji Battalion.

He Feihu led his troops forward, and Xu Tong also followed He Feihu forward. Until they could clearly see the tragic situation of the Song army camps destroyed by the general's artillery, He Feihu ordered the entire army to stop advancing.

The chariot and the general's artillery car move forward, the gun group begins to load ammunition, adjust the shooting direction and angle, and prepare to shoot.

After a series of operations, He Feihu issued an order and the chariot and generals began to fire.

The firing of the chariot and cavalry general's cannon was much smaller than that of the general's cannon. At least He Feihu did not remind Xu Tong to cover his ears again, but the thunderous roar still made Xu Tong not very adaptable.

Despite this, the bombardment of the chariot and generals was also quite successful.

The general artillery was equivalent to destroying the main structure of the Song army camp. The general artillery stepped forward and worked harder to destroy other tall buildings that could threaten the Ming army's march, and attacked and deterred the Song army soldiers in the army camp.

When he saw He Feihu picking up the clairvoyance to watch the situation of the Song army camp, Xu Tong realized that he also had a clairvoyance, so he quickly took it out to look at the Song army camp. Then he saw the soldiers running around in the Song army camp.

There are still many people living, which seems to be unsatisfied with He Feihu.

So He Feihu ordered artillery bombardment, and a large number of chariots and generals could completely destroy the Song army camp in front of him in one round of volleys, and completely destroy the buildings that did not fall.

The towering arrow tower and watchtower were destroyed by artillery shells and fell to the ground as if they were broken. The Song soldiers in the military camp were affected by the artillery shells, which made them unable to resist.

The smoke and dust were intertwined, causing extremely heavy casualties to the Song army defenders in the military camp.

However, at this moment, they did not even bring even a slight injury to the Ming army.

Even the crossbow and the bed crossbow were useless.

They had no idea about the Ming army's new firearms, and they had no idea that the Ming army had already won many battles with these firearms and had accumulated rich combat experience.

The kinetic energy and direct shooting angle brought by the gunpowder explosion quickly destroyed the supposedly solid wooden structure military camp. This black technology that did not belong to this era quickly tore up the defense line of the Song army inside the military camp and defeated their fighting will.

And all this is not over yet, or it is just beginning.
