Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 959

[Chapter 959 Shelling]

“Don’t take it lightly, the lesson of the Iron Tower is right in front of you.” Mu Lehong looked forward, “We are also digging trenches, relying on the superiority of our troops, and slowly consume them.”

Under the guidance of the Ross State officer , they have mastered many tactics.

The current Beidi army no longer fights like before, but has learned to fight like the natives.

Coupled with the guns and artillery of Xitu, Beidi is still reborn.

“Yes, Khan.” After receiving the order, the kings of Wangzhang returned to their respective armies and ordered the soldiers to dig trenches on the spot.

At this moment, they were about five miles away from the trench of Da Song’s army.

From here, they would continue to dig trenches until they came close to each other’s trenches.

In the end, he repeatedly launched a charge and defeated the Dasong army in Lingwu County.

at the same time.

Mule Hongzhen was observing the front trench fortifications in Lingwu County.

Bai Shang was also observing Beidi’s army.

This time, in order to stop Beidi’s army, he dug a trench from the Jin River to the pig’s head.

The trench fortifications spans five kilometers and is more than 600 meters in length and width.

The soldiers are distributed in the vast trench fortifications, and there are also breech-loading howitzers and rifled guns deployed in various trench fortifications.

“They are digging trenches. Beidi people have learned a lot from Ross.” Bai Shang put down his binoculars and said to Huo An beside him.

Now, all four armies of the Central Army obeyed his orders, and Huo An temporarily became his deputy general.

“Can you still let them dig trenches leisurely? How about letting them taste the taste of the new howitzer first?” Huo An laughed twice.

Beidi dug trenches five miles away, naturally fearing their artillery.

But they would never have imagined that their artillery had been updated and had a range of ten miles.

“That’s for sure.” Bai Shang licked his tongue.

This world of ice and snow froze him and the soldiers, and it was all the Beidi people’s fault.

If you don’t give them a little color, how can you make the soldiers feel at ease.

So, he immediately conveyed the order.

This time, all the artillery pieces of the four armies of the Central Army were sent to the battlefield.

Let the number of their howitzers reach 480, and the rifled guns reach 240.

There is such a disparity in the number of the two types of artillery.

This is because howitzers on the battlefield have become an important force for killing enemy soldiers.

Rifled guns are more about destroying the opponent’s artillery positions, and there is no need to install too many.

Soon, Bai Shang’s order spread among the artillerymen.

The artillery, which had been freezing for a long time, finally got a chance to move.

The artilleryman in charge of observation uses a telescope to determine the distance, and the artilleryman in charge of correction corrects the angle of the muzzle.

Immediately afterwards, the loader pried open the ammunition box, unscrewed the gun bolt, stuffed the shells in, and screwed on the gun bolt.

“Let it go!”

Everything was ready, and the artilleryman on the right side of the artillery waved the chess pieces from top to bottom.

The artilleryman holding the match gave a jerk on the cord.

The firing pin hit the cap in the ammunition, detonating the propellant.

“Boom.” With a sound, the snow around the artillery was shaken up, the muzzle fire flashed, and the shell flew to the Beidi Army five miles away.

After the first howitzer, the remaining howitzers sounded.

The shells drew a huge parabola in the sky like raindrops, making the sound of “swish” tearing the air.

Beidi soldiers who were digging trenches together with tools suddenly heard the sound of “swish”.

When they raised their heads and looked overhead, it was already too late.

The heavy shell smashed obliquely into the soil under their feet, and then exploded suddenly.

There was a collective scream, and dozens of Beidi soldiers around the shell were blown away.

Some shells exploded in the air, and the shrapnel fell into the Beidi army like a goddess, killing a large number of soldiers.

“Boom boom boom…”

For a while, the sound of explosions continued, and flames burst out in the Beidi army.

Mule Hongzhen was also within the bombardment range of the howitzer shells at the moment.

When a cannonball exploded, a shudder ran down his spine.

Bamutuo and other kings immediately rushed to his side and surrounded Mule Hongzhen to prevent him from being hurt by shrapnel.

It’s just that they also know that they can’t stop the shells from falling right on top of their heads.

So Bamutuo said, “Khan, get on your horse and leave here immediately, this place is too dangerous.”

After that, everyone pushed Mu Lehongzhen onto the horse, and they also got on the horse, escorting Mu Lehongzhen to the north. Direction to evacuate.

As they fled the shelling, the shells seemed to have eyes and exploded around them.

The more they ran, the more frightened they became. It was impossible to imagine that Da Song’s artillery could shoot so far.

Just when Mu Lehong really fled in embarrassment.

In the trench fortification of the Central Army in Lingwu County, Bai Shang and Huo An showed satisfaction.

This satisfaction is naturally for the new howitzer.

On the battlefield, this howitzer not only has an advantage in range.

The speed of fire also has a great advantage.

In a minute, the howitzer can fire six shells, while before, it was good to fire two shells in a minute.

It is for this reason that the bombardment of this bombardment was very dense, and it can be said to be continuous.

He believed that during the period when the Beidi soldiers retreated beyond the range of the artillery, they would suffer a lot of casualties.
