sweeping the world

Chapter 642

The moment the bronze cannon was fired, Li Tan and other generals, who had never seen a firearm explosion, were stunned.

The loud noise was very sudden, a yellow light flashed from the muzzle of the bronze cannon, and then a lot of smoke came out, a huge thrust pressed the two wheels of the base and fell backwards, and the next moment was a piece of earth and rocks splashing on the other side of the city wall .

The people standing around, one by one could feel the vibration of the ground, they hadn't reacted from the bewilderment, and there was a slight tinnitus phenomenon, and they didn't really listen to Ran Min who didn't know how to yell. What.

"The elevation angle is raised by one degree, and the muzzle is adjusted to the left by two degrees."

"The shooting elements have been adjusted."

"fire!"

The passwords shouted by the artillerymen were very hasty, mainly because Ran Min was worried that the group of people on the city wall were escaping and jumping over there, so that the group of people who didn't know the situation had a feeling that although they couldn't understand what they were doing, they thought it was amazing. look.

A series of cannons exploded quickly, and not all the cannons were fired at the same time, and one was followed by the next.This is due to the vibration generated by shooting. There are intervals between the bronze cannons to prevent vibration after firing. The force will be greater, which will inevitably change the adjusted muzzle.

The 29 bronze cannons were ignited and fired one after another, and the position was soon shrouded in smoke. On the other side, Ran Min was asking loudly about the shooting effect, and the answer he got was that most of the bronze cannons hit.

The first bronze cannon to fire had the mission of proofreading, and it used solid bullets.

Liu Yan not only produced solid ammunition, but also produced flowering ammunition after research. Compared with solid ammunition, it was more difficult to manufacture, and there were more than one accidents.

Ran Min distributed the projectiles fired by the thirty bronze cannons as follows: twenty fired solid bullets, and the other ten fired explosive bullets.

After the thirty bronze cannons fired one after another, not all the projectiles landed on the same landing point, and it seemed that they were distributed within a range of ten meters.

"This..." Li Tan was really shocked: "It's too powerful, it's terrifying!"

The target that was mass-fired, the female wall above the city wall has been flattened, and the figure standing there must have disappeared.

The people gathered here had their ears ringing from the loud noise just now, and their minds were confused for a moment. With the smoke blocking their vision, they could not see the effects of the launch.

The soldiers of the Han army arranged in a phalanx watched the whole process just now, and saw a very shocking scene. It was the rammed earth wall flashing bursts of roars in a few moments, and after the solid bullets hit the ground, everything was smashed. Take off, and then there is an explosion of flower bombs.

If it wasn't for being notified in advance, let Rang be a little psychologically prepared for what is about to happen, even if it is a troop with firearms, there will be riots, and many people wonder if the gods are showing their power or something.

I don't know who yelled "Han army is mighty" first, and then was shouted out alternately with "Wan Sheng", and the whole army immediately entered the stage of bursting morale.

"Fortunately, the cavalry was arranged far away, and we didn't ride on horseback to wait and see, otherwise..." Li Tan was happy, scared and shocked. The moment he reacted, he thought that there would be a startled horse, and his eyes were fixed on the left and right wings. The dispatched cavalry said to Ran Min, "That cloth bag is more powerful?"

Ran Min was sure that the distribution of the bullet points was relatively concentrated, and that the person who wanted to kill would be crippled or stunned even if he didn't die, so he grinned mysteriously: "Rui will find out soon."

The cavalry on the two wings continued to charge, and the troops at the front of the battle line, apart from the artillery, also began to move forward.

The artillerymen are cleaning the barrel of the gun. At least one person can be seen repeatedly stabbing the barrel of the gun with a wiper rod wrapped in a white cloth. Those who got into the carriage were also busy.

To put it bluntly, the trebuchets are really larger than the bronze cannons equipped with wheeled bases, and it is more troublesome to move. They are slowly pulled forward by human and animal power. There are specialized people who will assume in the trenches Supplied with passed planks.

"This baby is heavier than a catapult!" Ran Min tried to lift it up, and he could move the catapult, but he couldn't lift the bronze cannon with the wheeled base: "Today, we will finish the enemy army. Get someone to tamp down the aisle quickly, or it will definitely collapse."

This matter should have been done before launching the attack, but Ran Min was too excited, and the rest of the generals who had the right to speak basically didn't understand, and those who understood didn't dare to leapfrog the suggestion, so it was made into a temporary homework.

Li Tan's mind is not on commanding the troops now, he is pestering Ran Min asking if the bronze cannon will be equipped with all the standing troops.

"How does someone know about this?" Ran Min really didn't know if he would deploy the whole army, so he said what he knew: "Now there are only a hundred bronze guns of various calibers in the country, and it is said that it took nearly a year and a half Made it?"

The song brought by Ran Min is not in the standing army sequence. The firearms troops that went to participate in the battle of destroying Yan, as long as they were equipped with bronze cannons, they were also regarded as auxiliary troops. They were temporarily linked to a standing army, and they were not fixed in the standing army. sequence.

A hundred doors can be produced in one and a half years, and that is on the premise that there is a system to provide cold weapons to each army. If each workshop needs to manufacture cold weapons, based on the current number of craftsmen in the Han Kingdom, and then judged by the yield rate, one It is still unknown whether twenty doors can be produced in a year.

The loud noise outside the city had already spread to the palace city of Dingxiang, and no one knew that those people who went out to observe and gathered together had been reimbursed for a while.

There were a few people who did not get together, they were very lucky not to be killed by the bombing, but they were so frightened that they were so weak that they delayed the time to escape on horseback from the city wall, and were blocked by the Han cavalry entering the city, and became prisoners .

No one knew what those loud noises meant. They only knew that their desperate breakthrough seemed to have gone bankrupt in the preparation stage. There were Han cavalry charging into the city on all sides of the city wall, and the Han infantry also entered the city afterward.

The Longteng guards who were placed in the ruins of the city lost their supreme commander, and the mid-level commanders who stayed in the army could only carry out the orders they had before, relying on the ruins to fight street battles with the Han army entering the city.

The generals and soldiers of the Han army, who believed they were protected by the gods, were at the stage of overwhelming morale. The guards of Longteng fully realized that today's Han army was more fierce than usual, and they couldn't stand it after contacting the enemy.

The Longteng guards on the battlefield, they discovered a strange phenomenon, when a weapon stabbed or slashed a Han soldier, that Han soldier would leave a sentence "death to death" before the moment. He firmly believes that he will become a god after he dies in battle.

Out of ignorance, seeing that shocking scene again, I will really be connected with some nagging things.Because I believe that there are gods to help, don't you just believe that you can become a god after you die in battle?

Religion fanaticism is of course undesirable, and Liu Yan has never thought about prospering religion.

Of course, belief is inevitable, that is, there must be a degree of moderation, coupled with correct guidance. The Han Dynasty did not prohibit religions, but it did not allow each religion to spread arbitrarily.

Both the East and the West have dark ages because of religion.

The east side is better. Some Samanas want to build a Buddhist country, and they really make the emperor and dignitaries of a country become believers. Among them, there is no shortage of fanatics. screwed up.There are not many conflicts in the East because of the power of the gods and the imperial power, but generally the power of the gods cannot play against the imperial power, which has the power of force.

The religions in the West are more slick, and their ability to make up stories is much better and more real than their counterparts in the East. Religion is above the royal power, to the point where the kings of all countries need to be crowned by divine power if they want to secure the throne.

After the soldiers of the Han army died in battle, they would be restrained, and their ashes would be transported to the martyrs' garden in Changguang County. Private individuals could go to sacrifice and offer incense all year round, and the government would also hold a memorial ceremony every year.In today's era where being able to enjoy incense means becoming a god, there is a big difference between the worship of relatives and the sacrifice of state behavior. From a certain perspective, the latter is really honored as a god.

The previous battle to become a god is just talking about it. Seeing the power of gunpowder weapons makes the understanding of soldiers who do not understand science sour. They must become extremely fearless if they don’t understand and believe that they can really become gods in battle. It is only natural that death is more ferocious than usual.

When Ran Min led all the generals into the city, he was somewhat surprised when he got the report that the enemy had been defeated and retreated to Miyagi.

"I've been trapped for two years..." Ran Min finally knew how to lower his voice: "The Dragon Guard's combat effectiveness has dropped so much?"

Li Tan felt extremely harsh when he heard it. They had fought against the Dragon Guards for nearly a month before, and a standing army lost [-]% of their combat power and withdrew from the battle sequence. What does it mean that the combat power of the Dragon Guards has dropped so much that it is impossible to have a pleasant chat with them!

"Hmm..." Ran Min still wanted to save some face for Li Tan, "Haha" said with a smile: "Understood, I was frightened by that baby, and also at a loss after losing the Shangguan."

Li Tan responded by saying "hum" in a nasal voice, don't be reluctant to talk to Ran Min at the beginning.

It was Ran Min and other Han who were about to enter the city, and the remaining Jieren forces in Miyagi foreshadowed the seriousness of the matter.

Zhang Huezhu was Si Yu, the head of the Ministry of Works. He did not leave the palace to see what the Han army was doing. Most of the others who did not go out were also people with low status.

When the Han army entered the city aggressively and besieged Miyagi, they subconsciously felt that something was wrong, that is, no one was looking for Shihu's heirs, and they only got together according to their past friendship.

"It's too often, what should I do!" Zhang Hezhu took Zhang Hao's thigh as a matter of course before, and ordered people to search Mangongcheng, but he couldn't find Zhang Jack. He was thinking about finding a new thigh to hug, so he went to Fu Yu. : "Generals, you won't come back once you leave. Now that the Han army is approaching the city, you still have to take charge of the overall situation!"

Fu Yun held a quarter of the command of the Longteng Guards, and he participated in Shihu's death, and he was still the mastermind.He originally wanted to go out of Miyagi to see what the Han army was doing with his own eyes. According to his habit, he made a fortune teller for himself before going out, and he stayed in Miyagi honestly when the hexagram was very ominous.

"They went out and didn't return, but the Han army suddenly came to kill them, didn't they..." Zhang Hezhu had lost his position: "Did they run to surrender?"

Fu Yun hasn't figured out the matter yet, but one thing he can confirm is that if Han Guo is willing to accept the surrender and let it go, he can even serve as an official, including him, he will surrender immediately even if he hesitates.

"Han general Li Tan has repeatedly stated that he does not accept conditional surrender." Fu Yun said so, but he was surprised in his heart, and said: "If you don't care what happens after surrender, you can try it."

Of course Zhang Haozhu thought about it, and he sent people to test it secretly more than once. The problem is that the people who went there never came back, and he didn't have the courage to try it himself.

Just when the two were testing each other in all kinds of surprises and doubts, their confidantes came over one after another to report, saying that the Han army had already set up a battle, and the siege equipment such as catapults had been pushed to the front. A weapon never seen before appears.

Fu Yu and Zhang Hezhu went up to the top of the city together, and it seemed that everyone who was supposed to come was there, but the scene was a bit terribly quiet.

"Huh!?" Zhang Hezhu raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the Han army: "General Hussars, Ran?"

In the current era, as long as he is a qualified general, he will definitely have his own banner. Zhang Hezhu will be surprised if he confirms Ran Min's identity. This is the first time in two years that the general banner of the Han army has changed. It is no longer "General Zhengbei— Li", and there are not many people with the surname Ran these days, and even fewer can become generals of hussars.

Having said that, they had been besieged for two years, and they really didn't know too much news, including not knowing that Ran Min had become the Hussar General of Han.

Fu Yu also saw the banner of the chief general of the Han army, and guessed the truth almost instantly: "That rebellious minister and traitor turned out to be a general of hussars!"

In their impression, two years ago, there were no hussar generals in the Han Dynasty, and even the generals at the "Zheng" level were not assembled. What is more incredible is that even some important civil servants are empty and empty. This joke Liu Yan established a Caotou Dynasty.

The traitor in the population of the remnants of the Jie people, left the Shijie Zhao country and ran to Guanzhong to stand on his own in the Ran family Qin country, but couldn't get along. The whole country surrendered to the Han country, and later personally ordered hundreds of thousands of Jie people to be killed. He is known as the living overlord Ran Min, he is holding up the binoculars and having fun.

"A lot of acquaintances." Ran Min really knew a lot of famous people in Shi Jie and Zhao Kingdom. He turned to Li Tan and said, "Since they don't want to learn a lesson, why don't you start the fire this time?"

What lesson?It is also necessary for the enemy army to figure out what happened first, and they don't know how to teach them to learn the lesson!
There are countless MMPs in Li Tan's heart that he really wants to tell Ran Min, and he makes it clear that he doesn't want to take this kind of bullshit.

"Not happy?" Ran Minhuan usually dared to show his face, the lightest thing was a slap in the face, but now he was in a good mood, and ordered with a smile: "It really must be Rui Cai."

A joke is a joke, and the order is really an order. Li Tan went to follow the artillery's instructions with a dark face, holding a torch and igniting the bronze cannon that had been calibrated to shoot at Zhu Yuan. After a loud noise, he heard that he was on target.

At that moment, although Li Tan had nothing to do with shooting Zhu Yuan or anything, he immediately turned his head to look at Ran Min, who was a little surprised, thinking: [At least I am sure you are accurate! 】
