Come to Daming with military supplies

The battle was approaching, but Yang Chendong didn't take a look at the situation in front of him. Instead, he squatted down and stroked a few iron objects covered in army green like he was stroking a beautiful woman.

If there are soldiers of later generations who can see this scene, they will definitely shout out immediately, "This is a mortar!"

Yes, it is a mortar.

Yang Chendong thought for a long time last night, and finally rejected the idea of ​​taking out the cannon from the big warehouse.But he didn't do nothing, and he still took out a new type of weapon, the mortar, for today's war.

Now that he has a big warehouse in his hand, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't make good use of the things inside?

Whether it is a cold front, an auxiliary soldier, or even a temporary auxiliary soldier, the seeds of the future cold front are not easy to cultivate.If he had the ability to make them sacrifice less, of course he would not be stingy and give some more.The mortar is what he prepared.

The mortar is a curved-fire smoothbore artillery with a short barrel, a large firing angle, and a high ballistic arc. The seat plate bears the recoil force.

The gun is loaded from the muzzle and mainly uses curved fire. It has a short barrel and a relatively short range. It is light and flexible, and can shoot targets behind shelters.

Since its inception, the mortar has been an effective suppression weapon to support and accompany the infantry in combat, and it is an extremely important conventional weapon for the infantry.

And what Yang Chendong took out was the 100mm-China active regiment battalion mortar.

100 mm - The caliber of mortars used by Chinese active regiments and battalions.The total mass is about 100 kg, the maximum range is 8000 meters, and the effective killing radius is about 20 meters.

This kind of mortar is neither the largest nor the smallest, and the weight of 200 catties is not considered heavy. At least a few people can easily lift it together.

When five mortars appeared in Yang Chen's east tent in the morning, only Hu Mang and Yang Er were surprised.Fortunately, they have seen such things a lot, since the young master didn't explain it to them, they naturally wouldn't ask questions.

As for the others, seeing that Hu Mang and Yang Er didn't express the slightest surprise, they wouldn't even ask, thinking that this was originally arranged by the Sixth Young Master.

Yang Chendong could feel the puzzlement in the eyes of Humang and Yang Er, but he didn't explain.Don't you all regard yourself as a god?Then just keep going. In fact, he really didn't know how to explain it.

Chapter 5 Thirty Bombardment of the Tower

The time is getting closer to noon.The west and east gates of the city are indeed closed, and there is a sense that I will stand still if you let the wind and rain fall.But if you can walk into the east gate and take a look, you can see that many Jiaozhi troops have gathered here.

Among them are the elephant soldiers riding on elephants, the black soldiers with darker skin than ordinary people, and the soldiers directly under the prince and the king's guard who look uniformly dressed and in good spirits.

A total of 10 people gathered outside the East City Gate. Because of the large number of people, this team had already lined up to ten miles away from the city.This was originally the tactic of the Cochin Army, that is, once the battle starts, they will use the crowd tactics to attack. As long as they can rush to the side of the mercenaries, it is equivalent to seeing the hope of victory.

As for the nearly 15 Cochin Army, 5 people were left in the city to protect the trebuchets and the security in the city, and another 10 people came to the north and south gates, waiting When the main force rushes out, they can make a detour from the side to outflank.

In a word, they just want to use the most advantageous number of troops and mercenaries to fight to the death.

At the inner gate of the east city, ten thousand soldiers directly under the prince holding iron shields are ready to rush to the front line.Behind them are ten movable iron carts.Inside the iron cart are some brute force men using their feet to help them move, and in the eye holes exposed in the iron cart, there are [-] crossbowmen who are ready to shoot their crossbows at any time.

These are the protective measures made by the Cochin Kingdom in a short period of time, and they are aimed at the attacks of muskets.Regardless of whether it is an iron cart or an iron shield, once the bullets can be blocked, the soldiers behind will have more opportunities to rush forward and fight in close quarters, so that the Cochin Army is expected to win.

The Cochin Army has made final preparations.The mercenaries outside the city were also checking their guns and ammunition for the last time.

Compared with the tense faces of the Cochin soldiers in the city, their faces were more excited.This is the battle of destroying the country, and the Sixth Young Master is watching them behind them. Every soldier has the opportunity to perform. Everyone wants to make a contribution in this battle, and then return to Chixian City with the military medal to welcome their families Congratulations and friends.

The only thing that puzzled Luo Po, the leader of Leng Feng's second regiment, was that the Sixth Young Master didn't give them an order to attack the city. surrounded.

"Commander, what do you mean by the Sixth Young Master? Can they rush out voluntarily if we keep guard like this?" Kong Quanxin, the commander of the third battalion, came to Luo Po with the same puzzled expression and asked.Obviously he is also confused about this formation.

Of course Luo Po would not say that he did not know how the Sixth Young Master arranged it. As his superior, he gave Kong Quanxin a hard look, "Go back to your commanding position. Do you need to say more about obeying orders and obeying commands?" ?”

After being rejected by the door, Kong Quanxin reluctantly retreated to his seat, and then made a gesture of looking up at the sky. He seemed to be watching the sun rise to the sky, to see if it was noon up.

And just when he was doing this action inadvertently, a few huge flames flashed across his pupils. He swore that the flames instantly attracted all his attention, and his eyes moved instinctively. Then he saw the fire light falling in an arc in Xiyu City, and then there was a loud sound that made him stunned and the whole earth trembled.

Boom boom boom boom!

The power of the mortar was fully highlighted at this moment.Especially when those shells fell into the coordinates that had been adjusted long ago, that is, west of the city and east of the city, the lethality and destructive power it brought was very amazing.

The streets and even the alleys were full of elite Cochin soldiers at this moment. They were waiting for the mercenaries to approach to a certain level, then opened the city gate, and rushed out in a rush.Although such an impact would inevitably result in a lot of casualties, how could there be any undead in a war?

And the generals above have said that once they can really rush to the side of the mercenaries, the balance of victory will completely move towards them.It also said that no matter who it is, as long as it grabs an advanced firearm in the hands of a mercenary, it can go to the top to exchange 200 taels of silver.

200 taels of silver, compared to the Jiaozhi soldiers whose monthly salary is only about two taels of silver, that is their income for nearly ten years.How can such a reward not stimulate them all to be new and exciting?

Even some impatient people couldn't help but want to open the city gate and rush out.The fact that people die for money is vividly expressed at this time.

This is also the reason why there are so many Jiaozhi soldiers piled up in the East City Gate, but there is still no chaos, and there is no fighting between soldiers.Maybe everyone's attention is on the outside of the city, on the battlefield, and they are all thinking about how to make meritorious service and earn money. Who would like to make extra troubles right now?

It was precisely because these people gathered together densely that when the mortar shells fell into the east city, the destructive and lethal power it caused and produced was also very astonishing.

Many soldiers didn't look up, naturally they didn't know where the shells would fall.Of course, even if they go to see it, they still don't know where is the safest place even in this short period of time.

Based on the fact that the speed of sound transmission is the fastest, the roar sounded first, but then, within a second, the shells that were enough to deafen the ears and burn people fell on the ground. And demonstrated its powerful power.

Every time the shells crashed down, the area around 30 meters away became the most dangerous area.In particular, as the center of the cannonball's fall has a radius of about three meters, it directly becomes a big deep pit. No matter who it is or what building it is, it will become a scorching fire in an instant.Then there is an area about ten meters away, where anyone standing here will be dismembered almost in an instant. It was so bombed that even his parents couldn't recognize him.

Even on the periphery, at a distance of about 30 meters, there are still a lot of shell fragments flying around, but if anyone is unlucky, once such fragments get on his body, even just one piece is enough to make him fall to the ground Wah-wah screaming, while completely losing combat effectiveness, that miserable cry also greatly affected the morale of the surrounding soldiers.

Five mortars fired five shells in five different directions in a very short period of time. The lethality and destructive power caused by the shells falling to the ground can no longer be described in words. .

For some Cochin soldiers, death is death, there is nothing to fear, or they don't know what to fear.It's just that for those who are still alive, it is indeed a great shock. The feeling can really be described as life is worse than death, because they don't know where the thing that looks like the anger of the gods will fall next time, whether it will Will it just fall on their heads?

You know, this is a mortar taken out of the big warehouse, and even the shells are also produced by the big warehouse.This makes them extremely powerful both in terms of accuracy and explosive power.These are also developed by the modern army of later generations after countless efforts and experiments, and they are to be deployed to the grassroots army. The degree of ease of use is not ordinary.

25 shells fell, which is equivalent to 25 records of the wrath of the gods. This has already frightened the high-level people of Jiaozhi. King Li Li of Jiaozhi was stunned at this moment. To describe the current mood.

Maybe it must be said, King Li Li will definitely scold his mother, but you have such a powerful weapon but don't say it, and you only use it now, then this battle is a fart.If such gods were more angry, maybe there would be no need to fight this battle, Xiyu City would be blown into ruins, and all of them would become fertilizer and be buried in this land forever.

"Father, what should we do?" The crown prince Li Yuanlong was also made lose his temper by the anger of the gods, and lost his position. He looked at his father with endless panic and fear in his eyes.

"Open the city gate and rush out. No matter what, we can't just admit defeat like this. In addition, find a way to keep some of the elite. Let's go out from the west gate to the capital city." With an ugly face, King Li Li had no choice but to Prepared for the worst.

Abandoning Xiyu City and going to Duwei City was originally a move that Li Li had prepared, but he thought that this step might not be taken, and it might take a while before he took it.But now it seems that it has to be activated in advance.

"Yes." Prince Li Yuanlong settled down for a while because of his father's words, and then went down to convey the order.

West outside the city, the mercenaries were also frightened by the enormous power of the mortars.

In fact, this is not the first time for some of them to see the power of shells, and even the power of shells they have seen in the past is far greater than the power of mortars.It was only because I hadn't received any news before that I was frightened by this sudden change.

"Look, the city gate is open, and the cochin soldiers are about to rush out." Some Leng Feng suddenly shouted, diverting everyone's attention.

As the commander, Luo Po, the leader of Leng Feng's Second Regiment, still felt the buzzing in his ears.But in any case, being able to be qualified for the position of head of a regiment is enough to prove his high psychological quality, so when he saw the city gate open from the inside, he began to shout loudly, and at the same time gave orders Saying, "Everyone get ready, here's our chance to show up, check the guns, prepare the grenades."

Chapter 531 Forced to Fight

The shouts were conveyed one by one, and soon a Lengfeng main battalion, seven auxiliary battalions, and more than 3000 soldiers raised their guns and aimed at the Cochin soldiers coming out of the city.

What I have to say here is that the elite is indeed the elite. Whether it is the guards of the prince holding shields or the guards of the iron king who are moving out, the rhythm of leaving the city at this moment is not flustered. It seems that the impact of the artillery fire is not Very deep.

This is the fact. The attack of the artillery fire just now fell mainly in the east of the city. As guards under the city gate, they were not affected at all, but the sound of the explosion was a little louder.

They were not affected too much, so that the moment they walked out of the city, they appeared to be orderly, and even revealed a solemn and majestic posture.
