Chapter 100 Cannonball
Li Guodong has no favoritism for these people who surrendered in the past. This is also the reason why you are yourself.
Many people say that they surrendered with the general, but the general did not tie up your hands and feet. You can never let them live without them, but no one left. Therefore, you have asked for such a result.
Nothing worthy of pity.
Li Guodong was ready for battle, but he did not order the soldiers to advance, which was also what Zhu Cixuan told him.
One of the primary conditions for our progress here is that we can only have artillery here. If there are no artillery, we can only defend on the spot.
Any kind of formation is OK. As long as we are honestly gathering here, no matter how the opponent charges, we are all similar to a hedgehog, but if we want to attack, we must have artillery.
As soon as the cannons rang here, the sound of animals calling came from behind.
It is completely different from the north when it comes out of the south. There is no way to find so many horses, so all the large animals in the south were collected.
Whether it is a cow or a mule, as long as it can pull the cannon, it was bought by the army. When Li Guodong heard this sound, he knew that our cannon was coming.
The artillery soldiers had been trained for a long time, especially knowing what to do at such a moment. Without waiting for Li Guodong to issue an order, they immediately began to build artillery positions.
During training in Nanjing, they were required to enter the battle within ten minutes. If the situation was urgent, they had to fire the first shot within five minutes.
The situation in the Qing Dynasty is now unclear, so we still have enough time. They took about ten minutes to place the twelve artillery pieces.
With these artillery, Li Guodong has become confident. We didn’t dare to attack just now, which does not mean that we are not saying a word now.
"I inform the artillery to fire the artillery and let the Qing Tartars see how powerful our new army is today, and I will sell me some strength. This is our first stop with the Qing people. If anyone dares to retreat halfway, I know you, but if my pistol doesn't know you, I will fire me."
As soon as Li Guodong finished speaking, the two big flags behind him began to wave. In today's era, there are no other communication equipment, and this is the best communication equipment.
In addition to these two big flags, there are two big drums with a diameter of one meter in the team, but they have not been pulled over now.
If you pull it over, there are two ways of control, which is also a fear that the other party will not be able to see clearly or hear the sound.
This is the use of two control methods. After Li Guodong issued the order, two cavalry captains rushed to the artillery battalion on horseback to issue orders, which can be said to be the three insurances.
With the order of Li Guodong, more than a dozen cannons fired at the same time. Many soldiers at the close distance felt their ears buzzing.
When Errenzi saw our guns firing here, he was a little disdainful. He had seen the artillery of the Ming Dynasty before. If there was a little power on the city wall, a stone egg rolled over in a place like the wilderness. Can't we see it?
The guy snorted coldly, and before he could make a sound, a shell exploded thirty meters behind him. Because the queue was neat, five or six soldiers flew up directly, and nearly twenty people around him were injured by shrapnel.
War horses had never seen such a situation before, so many war horses jumped up. Although the Qing people had riding skills very well, this sudden appearance caught them off guard.
Not only Erenzi has never seen such a situation, but Fang Dayou turned out to be an official of the Ming Dynasty and was quite clear about the artillery of the Ming Dynasty.
Judging from the other party's head, it can reach about one or two miles at most. It is impossible to hit them, but there are soldiers scattered and fleeing everywhere behind them. How can this be explained?
Fang Dayou suddenly thought of the letters sent by his good friends, all of whom were officials in Nanjing.
They all hoped that Fang Dayou could surrender to the Southern Ming court, but Fang Dayou did not do well in the court. Dorgon could be said to be his soulmate, so he was preparing to do so in the Qing Dynasty.
The letter clearly stated that His Highness the Crown Prince began to reorganize the army. The combat effectiveness of these new armies is amazing. A city cannot hold on for three days. If it continues to follow the Qing Dynasty, there will definitely be no good results in the future.
Fang Dayou thought that what his friends said was a bit exaggerated. It took five or six years to build a city wall.
Moreover, in the next few decades, this city wall will be strictly repaired. You said that such a thing cannot be persisted in three days. Isn’t it just a cannon?
When we haven't seen artillery before?
Now he regretted it a little. If he had believed the letter at that time, maybe we would have been standing opposite us now, how could we be bombed here? The originally neat queue was hit by more than a dozen shells and could not be arranged...
Especially the Han soldiers in the team, who were crowded with people killing people in front of the position just now, and they were already quite dissatisfied. Now that such a situation has happened, they are even more reluctant to fight desperately.
When the Manchu cavalry saw that these Han infantry soldiers were about to run around, they immediately surrounded them and then directed them back to their original queue.
The idea was very good, but the number of Manchu cavalry was not as large as that of the Han people, so those who chased after him did not recover the people, but their own queues were in chaos.
Erlunchi never thought that he was a reorganized team of thousands of people, and there were some cavalrymen coming from other places, with a total of 1,500 people.
Now that I haven’t done anything, I’ve lost one-third of my staff.
The other party's artillery had no intention of stopping. He could see clearly that a shell closest to him blew up all his three personal soldiers to death, and his whole body was dark. He couldn't even think of that scene.
What's going on? After they entered the pass, they also saw many soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, but they had never seen such artillery. At the beginning, they saw these people dressed differently, and they thought they were pretending to be mysterious. Now it seems that they have little knowledge.
