"Okay!" Xu Zhi'an put down the binoculars and said calmly. "There are not only shield chariots, but also elephant soldiers! It seems that the treasure can't be hidden!"

"Pull it out, let me see it!"

Zheng Zhilong smiled and rubbed his hands expectantly.

Xu Zhi'an smiled, and told his soldiers:

"Go to Mr. Chen and ask him to pull out those cannons!"

"Yes! General!"

The soldier ran away excitedly.

After a while, they came to the heavily guarded place in the back, found the person in charge, showed Xu Zhian's badge and said:

"Mr. Chen, Uncle asked his subordinates to come down and inform you that they are pulling our artillery to the front."

"Okay! Go now!"

Chen Yujie immediately nodded in agreement, and shouted to the people behind him:

"Brothers! Bright guys! It's time for us to play!"

"Ow~"

The artillerymen who had never had the opportunity to make meritorious service on the battlefield cheered.

Running all the way to Cochin to fight, can't it just be for the double salary during the war?Be ambitious!Make a military contribution!

What is military merit?

Military exploits are money!

What can money do! ?

flower!

Splurge!

But the mortar and Chongzhen 4329 can already cope with most battle scenarios, and the Chuyang is useless!

That's right, the artillery was made by Sun Yuanhua.

Named after his surname.

As for Chen Yujie, he was naturally involved.It's just that he was determined to independently build larger and more advanced artillery, so he rejected Sun Yuanhua's request to name him.

In fact, Zhu Youjian doesn't like this name very much.Because Chu Yang didn't sound domineering at all, without a hint of might.

But thinking about it again, Chuyang's elegant name coupled with his enormous power is a bit cute in contrast.So he approved the name Chuyang, but there was really no other way, he couldn't let Sun Yuanhua change his name, right?

Although it is called Chuyang, it still has a prototype.

Armstrong cannon.

It's a serious Armstrong cannon, not the "Armstrong Whirlwind Jet Armstrong Cannon" in a certain soul.

And it is an improved Armstrong gun that uses a partition bolt breech block.

After long-term development, the Armstrong guns of later generations have many models, the largest of which is hundreds of tons, and the shells fired are close to one ton in weight.

Although the Armstrong gun became bigger and bigger later, its original design was to facilitate field battles.

Under Zhu Youjian's instruction, Sun Yuanhua created three different models of Armstrong guns.

The prototypes are three types of artillery, 5-pound, 20-pound and 40-pound.

Among them, the 5-pound one is the lightest, called the Chuyang-[-] type, which can be lifted and walked by two strong men.

The 20-pound one is slightly heavier, and it is called Chuyang Type II, weighing about [-] kilograms.

The heaviest of 40 pounds, known as Chuyang Type III, weighs [-] to [-] kilograms.Considering portability and practicability, Chuyang Model [-] was not brought here this time.

Only 50 Chuyang Type 10 and [-] Chuyang Type [-] were brought.

It doesn't look like much, but it's actually quite enough.

The former Dayin Empire defeated [-] soldiers of Manqing and [-] Mongolian soldiers in actual combat.

And only 12 Armstrong guns, but 12-pound guns.

It is said that when the shell of this gun explodes, 42 shrapnel will be separated, and 42 Manqing soldiers will be killed at the same time.

Although it is unlikely, it also tells the great power of the Armstrong cannon.

And now.

Behind Chen Yujie, there were sixty Chuyang cannons lying quietly!

With Chen Yujie's order, the soldiers of each artillery team began to move.There are no teams of ten people, those who pull the cannons pull the cannons, and those who pull the ammunition pull the ammunition.

And the ten 10-pound cannons had to be pulled by animals.

Fortunately, the wheels and bearings used on all the artillery are products of the new era, and it saves a lot of effort even if they are pulled by livestock.

The army gave up a wide passage for these artillery.

Chen Yujie was the first to find Xu Zhian.

"Uncle, the placement of this cannon is up to you."

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry." Xu Zhi'an was very polite. He had seen the power of these cannons, and he also knew how talented the people who could participate in the creation of such cannons were. He deserved to be called Mr. Chen.

After speaking, he was not polite, and quickly assigned a thought.

The target of the 50-door Chuyang No. [-] is naturally the opponent's shield car.

The 10 Chuyang II models have to aim at the elephant.

Zheng Jun has launched a charge, and the speed is still very fast.

They knew that the first thing they faced was the Ming army's mortars, and they couldn't find a way to crack them.But if you run faster, you can kill fewer people.Because no one knows if it will be him who dies.

Naturally, Xu Zhi'an would not let them down, the mortars swished into the sky, and then fell again.

Zheng Jun is used to this kind of scene, even though the two sides have only been fighting for two days.

But isn't that the case?You get used to frying and frying.

Yesterday they broke through the blockade of the mortars, successfully entered the range of the opponent's muskets, and advanced nearly [-] steps.This time, they used the shield car as a cover, and they were completely confident in smashing the enemy's formation to pieces!

The leaders of the army think so, the soldiers think so, maybe even the elephants think so.

So they rushed forward happily with their tusks raised.

boom!

The Wumen Chuyang Type [-] on the left wing opened fire!

The artillery shells weighing nearly [-] kilograms roared and smashed into the herd of war elephants.

The elephant's target is big, and a hundred of them gather together to charge, and it is difficult to miss it.

Five shells exploded among the elephant herd.

The elephant is very big, so the inertia when it charges is big, and people will definitely not be able to stop it.

Coupled with the rough skin and thick flesh of an elephant, it is really difficult to kill it with one knife or two.This has also led to the fact that elephant soldiers are basically at the peak of invincibility on the battlefield in the cold weapon era.

But times have changed!

Who would use the cold one when there is hot one?

Soldiers have seen artillery, and elephants have probably seen it too.

But neither the soldiers nor the elephants had ever seen such a powerful cannon!

The cannonball of the Chuyang [-] type fell to the feet of an elephant. The raised legs of the running elephant disappeared before it could fall down. The huge body was also overturned, and the elephant on its back was directly thrown The soldiers were crushed to death on the spot.

It was not over yet, the shrapnel produced by the explosion splashed all around, and the elephants around were basically hit by the shrapnel, screaming pitifully.The more serious ones also fell down.

Although he couldn't die for a while, at least he lost his ability to fight.

As for people, they will either die or be disabled when they touch them.

There are five rounds of such shells at a time.

The elephant soldiers were all bombed.

They are simply the kings of soldiers in the army. They planned to drive the elephants they were proud of in the past to make great contributions, but they didn't expect to run into the enemy's artillery just a few steps away?

But is this artillery too powerful?

Sadly, the Ming army did not give them time to be dazed, and in a daze, five shells struck again.

boom!
