Lord of Ming Dynasty

Every 400 meters between these places, there are four 9-pound guns, a total of 24 cannons, which can provide long-range firepower at a distance of 500 meters and effectively kill the enemy at a distance of 300 meters.

The 36 six-pound guns are evenly distributed, with six guns every 400 meters, which can cover an area at a distance of 350 meters to 200 meters. They form a firepower belt with the 9-pound guns. If the enemy does not break through with extremely heavy casualties, they must You cannot rush to the front and attack the city wall.

This kind of defense can be called an iron barrel, and the castle cannot be broken without strong firepower.

Chapter 2 The iron bucket was smashed into tofu skins for him

A group of generals of the Ming army gathered together and observed Chixian City with a binoculars on a hill in Wulidi of Chixian City.

Their perception of Chixian City is the same as that of the defender of Chixian City, John de Boer of the Netherlands. This castle is too difficult to fight.

Not far away, behind the hill three miles away from the castle, a trench in the shape of "Feng" is extending. From yesterday afternoon to this morning, about 1 laborers started to build roads and bridges ten miles away. Extended to the back of the hill three miles away, and then began to hollow out the hill. Under the hill, a cave about five meters high, 30 meters wide, and about ten meters deep was dug to store cannons and ammunition, and Rest for those digging, transport the wounded.

Due to the terrain, the fort on the third floor of the castle, which is about 100 meters higher than here, began to fire guns to stop the diggers. It can shoot more than 1000 cannons at a height of nearly 2000 meters. It is just because of the terrain that there is an extra mile. The ground range can hit nearly 3000 meters away.

This is equivalent to six miles.

In this way, no matter whether the enemy's cannonballs fly so far, whether they can hit people, or whether they still have strength, but such a big cannonball, even if it doesn't have much strength when it falls, it can still crush a person's body by its weight. The head or body was torn apart, the muscles and bones were shattered, and even if they were not dead, they would be seriously injured.

Although the 800-pound gun has a short range, it can shoot [-] meters, nearly four miles, which caused a lot of damage to the excavators.

There are many people here, and there are many guns over there. Even the luckiest people will inevitably be tricked.

When paving the road, three unlucky people were seriously injured when they were close to six miles away, and five people had their legs broken or their arms smashed.

When digging the bunker here, more than a dozen people were injured. Although they were slightly injured, because of precautions, the people scattered farther away, so fewer people were injured at this time.

When approaching Si Li, more than 20 people were injured and six people died.

When they dug a bunker on a hill three miles away and advanced to the position, more than 30 people were injured and [-] people died.

The enemy's artillery shells are like raindrops, and they don't need money to fall. When the area is ten miles away, the enemy can only hit six miles.

When it was dusk, when it was close to the three miles, the number of artillery that the enemy could shoot increased, and the casualties began to increase.

It was already dusk when we started to move forward from Sanlidi, and the diggers were digging in the dark under the moonlight. The enemy's shells flew around and earth and rocks splashed, but there were fewer injured people, only about five unlucky ones Slightly injured by splashing earth and rocks.

When the excavation reached 500 meters, the enemy's artillery shells could hit the ground even in the dark. At this time, the casualties began to increase suddenly, and the enemy's artillery participating in the shelling reached an unprecedented 60 artillery pieces.

In the first attack, hundreds of people were injured and more than 50 people died.

By dawn, 200 people had been injured and more than 80 dead.

In the early morning, the final work began to finish, and the diggers hid in the trenches and behind the high mounds. At this time, the casualties began to decrease. Only more than 80 people were injured and more than 20 people died.

Today, the trench bunker has been formed, and the diggers are doing the final temporary addition work, digging to 300 meters, but not on the ground, but at a depth of two meters underground, multiple passages are being constructed together, and finally at 300 meters M out unfolded and connected.This is the trench for the Tibetan soldiers. When the time comes, dig it up and blast it together to form a trench that allows soldiers to attack and suppress fire, so that the soldiers can attack in a safe place and attack the city wall.

The 48-pound, 36-pound, 32-pound, and 18-pound guns began to enter the positions.

One morning, the captives were doing one thing, which was to transport those heavy cannons to a distance of 500 meters through a wide trench.

The enemy's shells still fell for free, and many people were injured again even though they were covered by the trenches. Those cannons were too heavy. There is a gun mount, and the gun mount is mounted on the wheels, but the wheels are made of wood, which are not only big, but also heavy. To move forward on the soft ground in the ditch requires a lot of people and a lot of effort.

At noon, the enemy's shelling was a little more relaxed. After firing so many cannons, even the best quality cannons were worn out, and some even exploded. The number of enemy cannons began to decline.

It is estimated that there are still more than 40 cannons that can be used to directly attack the Ming army, and the frequency of enemy firing has dropped from one and a half minutes to one salvo every five minutes.

Liu Guoxuan wiped the sweat off his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "The enemy finally knew that they were doing futile work. Although we suffered more than 600 casualties, we finally achieved our goal.

We are approaching the base of the enemy's city wall. In the past, we had to send soldiers ten miles away, carrying ladders, and pushing siege vehicles to reach the outside of the city wall. We had to lose nearly 800 people, and only half of them could be used to attack the enemy.

Just clearing the enemy’s outer obstacles, we had more than 3000 casualties, adding a moat, even with the cover of night, we had more than 1000 casualties, and tearing down the enemy’s parapet, we had more than 5000 casualties. Many people think so To attack a castle is worse than besieging the city for a long time, and attacking after the enemy has run out of ammunition and food. Maybe the enemy will surrender without attacking. "

Zhang Qiang knew that Zheng Chenggong had indeed given up the offensive after suffering heavy casualties in history. He originally wanted to surround the city and wait for the enemy to run out of ammunition and food. As a result, when they attacked Nanjing City, many elite troops were restrained in Treasure Island.

In addition to Zhang Huangyan and other civil servants leading the army, Zheng Chenggong fought with newly recruited soldiers, and was attacked by the Qing army under the city of Nanjing. The Shili Company Battalion was defeated by the enemy without much fighting, and less than 2 of the [-] troops fled back.

Since then, Zheng Jiajun’s pirates have been in decline, and they are no longer as brilliant as Zheng Zhilong’s era. Zheng Chenggong’s last name in history is because he drove away the Dutch and recovered Treasure Island, but the history writers of the Qing Dynasty did not write that way. They think It was the capricious Shi Lang who regained Treasure Island, the man who often betrayed others for his own self-interest, but became a hero.

Although in the [-]th century the emperor of the Qing Dynasty rectified the names of some resisting figures in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong also left some good reputations, but his achievements are no match for Shi Lang. Shi Lang stole the limelight and enjoyed the journey of his life The fame and fortune inside.

"Okay, the work is finished, let the soldiers enter the trenches, fire artillery, and attack the enemy for me. Also beat the iron bucket into tofu skin for him." Zhang Qiang waved his hand vigorously.

On the city wall, John De Boer was worried and approached a distance of 500 meters. Due to the frequent firing of his cannons, the quality of his cannons declined, and many of the cannons simply blew up. The cannons on the four-story Lingbao can only shoot three miles away, and if they shoot again, they may hit the first-story city wall, and their own people will hit their own people.

The third layer can hit six miles, but the enemy is approaching 500 to 700 meters, and the shells are also very dangerous. The muzzle cannot be lowered so low, and it can only shell the enemy's horizontal trenches 800 meters, 1000 meters, and [-] meters away. , it is useless at all.

Only the second floor can hit the enemy at the city wall at 300 meters. If the enemy runs within 300 meters, it will not work.

We can only rely on the cannons on the city wall.

Don’t even think about the 18-pound and 12-pound cannons on the city wall. 80 meters and 250 meters are dangerous. If the enemy rushes within 250 meters, only those 9-pounders and 6-pounders are left. 3 pounder.

Of course, this time is the range of the matchlock gun.

Matchlock guns can shoot 300 meters away, but if the bullet can hit the enemy at a distance of 120 meters, it can only be blessed by God. In general combat in the West, most of them fire at 50 meters away, a little farther, 80 meters, 75 meters away, The damage to the enemy is more efficient than rushing up to deal with it with a sword, and it is not even as useful as the English longbow.

The English longbow can still cause damage to the enemy's civilian soldiers at a distance of 120 meters, but due to the appearance of armor and shields, the lethality of the English longbow is greatly reduced. The damage is almost negligible.

Although the English longbow can still cause damage to musketeers who have given up their full-body armor, cannons have also appeared. The longbow team had to collapse before reaching the enemy array. In the end, the reason why they had to withdraw from the stage of history was that , the cost and time of training an English longbow can train ten or even twenty Musketeers.

Although there are still riflemen, but those are few after all, and those guns are expensive to make, the cost is too high, and they are not equipped with too many, only a hundred of them, and the governor took twenty of them away, and the battle with the Ming army ahead Lost ten of them, although those guns can shoot 350 meters away, the effective range can also shoot 150 meters away, and can accurately hit the enemy at 120 meters away, causing damage to the enemy, 100 meters away can kill the enemy, and can be loaded Too much effort, you have to use a hammer to hammer in, and the shots are too slow. In the face of countless enemies, their power is not as useful as a volley of guns.

Although the firing time of the improved rifle has been greatly shortened, the power is smaller and the range is shorter. It can kill the enemy accurately at 80 meters, and can kill the enemy at 100 meters. The enemy's time is too long, 120 meters away can cause damage to the enemy, and the farthest range is nearly 30 meters.

The improved matchlock guns are no longer called matchlock guns, they are called quick-firing guns, but the failure rate is the biggest problem. After five shots out of ten, no more than five can continue to shoot. , There are only seven or eight guns that can fire.

There are many problems, which is the biggest problem restricting new guns.

Even so, John de Boer arranged these gunmen on the city wall, ready to meet the enemy's attack.

At the same time, the regular army was sent. This time, he felt that the enemy was serious, and the enemy was preparing to launch a major attack. Not only the regular army, but also half of the remaining militia, about 2000 people, and two hundred women and old men with cold weapons.

With more than 100 sailors, if the enemy cannot be stopped on the city wall, then he is no longer ready to fight. The remaining regular army around him is less than 50 people, the militiamen are 300 people, and the number of people who can gather to fight is 400 people, a total of 750 people. Pointing people is useless at all. For the Ming army with a large number of people and the attacking side, if such a small number of people defend the city, even if there are complicated streets and strong castles, he knows that it is just a fight between trapped beasts. It's worth dying for.
