The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Chapter 78: Cannonballs wash away the ground and destroy the city

Following Wang Fugui's order.

The main gunner immediately adjusted the shooting elements, and the ammunition hand took out the shell and removed the safety, installed the propellant to the tail, handed it to the main gunner, and then the shell was stuffed into the barrel.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

There is a clear difference between the deafening roar when the barrel artillery fires, and the sound of the mortar fires is slightly crisper.

But this slightly crisp sound of artillery was more terrifying to the Qing army than any other sound in the following period of time.

"Hey~"

The dense roaring sounds in the air made the Qing soldiers in Chijiang City tremble with fear, and they looked up blankly.

Some people with good eyesight can even see the small black dots that are falling rapidly.

The next moment, the shell hit the ground and exploded.

"Boom boom boom...!"

The effective killing range of the 82mm mortar reaches 20 meters in radius!

And how big is Chihkan City?

The explosion range of these 72 shells almost completely covered the entire Chikan City!

Countless flying steel ball shrapnel instantly beat a large number of Qing soldiers into bloody pieces.

Fortunately, those who were directly killed were all over.

If he was not dead, he could only lie on the ground holding his wounds and moaning in pain.

General Bachtan was hiding in the corner with his head in his arms, his body swaying uncontrollably.

He was completely stunned. He really couldn't understand why the Ming army's artillery shells were so powerful?

And it looks like a small and thin iron bucket. How can it launch the cannonball so far?

In his impression, shouldn't it be a stupid big guy like the red cannon who can shoot the cannonball so far?

No one came to give him an answer...

By this time another round of shells had fallen.

The Type 90 82mm mortar equipped by the Ming army was extremely fast. Under the skillful operation of the artillerymen, the interval between each round of shelling was only a few seconds.

This small red-walled city was like a small boat in the ocean under the violent storm, and it could capsize at any time in the dense rain of shells.

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the small Chihan City was completely covered in smoke and fire.

The 10 rapid fire rounds ended quickly. Zhu Heyi waved his hand, and soldiers from an infantry regiment immediately launched an attack on Chichan City.

Because the shelling caused too much damage to the Qing army in Chikan City, the infantry regiment encountered almost no resistance during the charge.

It wasn't until they approached the wall of Chican City that the Qing soldiers discovered the Ming army rushing up.

The Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to survive used bows and arrows to fight back at the charging Ming soldiers on the city wall covered with rubble and rotten meat.

But before they could fire two arrows, the lead bullets fired in front of them splashed blood on them.

Moreover, it was difficult for their bows and arrows to cause harm to the Ming army.

Because when he decided to attack the Qing army, Zhu Heyi had already ordered the entire army to re-armor.After all, they are now facing the Qing army using cold weapons.Although armor cannot protect against bullets, it can still block swords.

The sporadic resistance on the city wall was quickly cleared by the Ming army.

Several bundles of cluster grenades were stuffed under the city gate.

"boom!"

There was an explosion, and the wooden city gate was blown to pieces in the firelight, and a large number of Ming army soldiers immediately entered the city.

"Sir General, the city is broken! Let's run away quickly. The Ming army's weapons are fierce and cannot be stopped!"

A Qing general with a face full of gunfire found General Baktan hiding among the corpses, and the latter still had not recovered from the round of bombing just now.

"Master General!"

"Ah, Bayak, how many more people do we have?" Colonel Baktan asked hurriedly, listening to the gunshots that had been fired in the city.

How could the general know how many people were still in the city? The Ming army's bombing just now was not just targeting the city wall. Under the covering bombardment, no one knew how many people were left in the Qing army.

There was no answer, and Bachtan immediately understood.

He stood up from the pile of corpses with his sword in hand.

"Let's go to the horse camp, we will retreat to the Anping Uniform Bureau!"

Bakhtan's idea was simple, go to the horse camp to find a war horse, and then retreat to the Anping Military Equipment Bureau, which had more complete defenses and taller walls.

Just when Bakhtan was preparing to flee with a small number of Qing troops, some Qing army officers organized soldiers to launch a counterattack against the Ming army that invaded the city.

"Warriors of the Qing Dynasty! Raise your steel swords and let these remnants of the Ming Dynasty see the power of my Eight Banners disciples!"

At the corner of the street, a Qing army officer wearing three layers of armor raised a steel knife in his hand and shouted loudly to dozens of cavalrymen behind him who were also fully armored.

Opposite them were dozens of Ming army infantry who were forming a line formation.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, dozens of Qing cavalry shouted and rushed towards the Ming army's line.

"Fire!"

As soon as the Qing cavalry launched their charge, the Ming army officer also gave the order to fire.

"Bang bang bang..."

Gunshots roared, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and blood mist suddenly exploded on the dozens of Qing cavalry who rushed forward.

The Mini rifle is not a three-eyed blunderbuss. Even if the Qing army is covered with three layers of armor, it can be easily penetrated. More than a dozen Qing army cavalry were shot and fell off their horses.

But even so, the Qing cavalry continued to charge forward.

The three-stage shooting tactic is absolutely effective against infantry, but when faced with extremely fast cavalry units, its effectiveness is greatly reduced.

The Ming army knew this, and the Qing army also knew this.

But what the Qing army didn't know was that in addition to being equipped with powerful Mini rifles, each infantryman also had four large bombs hanging on their waists.

After three rounds of volleys, most of the charging Qing cavalry fell. Some soldiers in the Ming array were also hit by arrows thrown by the Qing cavalry in parts unprotected by armor.

"Grenade!"

At this time, the Ming army officer shouted again, and dozens of smoking grenades were thrown out.

"what is that?"

Although they have never seen grenades, their intuition tells them that these hammers thrown by the Ming army are definitely not simple!

"Get around those iron knots, be careful of the Ming army's deception!" A Qing army shouted.

But, can it be bypassed?

"Boom boom boom..."

The flames flickered and the smoke filled the air.

"what!"

Many Qing cavalrymen and horses were torn to pieces by the brutal shock wave before they even had time to react.

In the flashes of fire, broken limbs and arms flew in all directions.

When the explosion subsided and the fire dissipated, there were no traces of the Qing cavalry anywhere. There were only pieces of corpses and a few seriously injured but not dead horses left on the ground, wailing in pain.
