I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 581: Artillery blockade

To the west, the Huajun's 33 division, Shi Shouye Department.

The troop configuration is almost the same as that of Li Lianfan.

The only difference is that their division has more than one hundred twelve-jin cannons.

These cannons are amazingly powerful, much more fierce than the previous six-pound red cannons, and they can also fire howitzers.

However, Shi Shouye did not build fortifications here.

After all, they had previously attacked Hankou in this direction.

It was Zhou Daqi who was in charge of attacking Shi Shouye's troops, whose strength was more than that of He Tengjiao's troops, as high as fifty-five thousand.

Facing so many enemies and no fortifications, Shi Shouye didn't panic at all. The reason was the one hundred cannons.

The existence of more than one hundred cannons allowed them not to defend the entire line of defense like Li Lianfan did.

Shi Shouye only needs to send people to keep these cannons, and keep the artillery positions, leaving blanks in other places.

With the range of five or six miles of these cannons, the entire front can be covered.

Given Zhou Daqi a hundred courage, he didn't dare to ignore these cannons of the Chinese army, and passed by the side of the gap, and then attacked Li Lianfan's back.

When I passed this section of the road, I was baptized by the artillery of the Chinese Army. It was really true that there were not enough soldiers to die.

The lethality of these cannons on the plain battlefield is several times stronger than that of the siege.

After all, these shells rely on four-shot shrapnel to kill the enemy. Without bunkers like city walls, these shrapnel can fully kill the enemy.

Zhou Daqi had no choice but to eliminate this artillery unit of the Chinese Army. Only through here can he cooperate with He Tengjiao.

And Shi Shouye knew this very well.

Immediately after discovering that the enemy had taken the bait according to the predetermined plan and started a full counterattack, he arranged for the artillery to retreat some distance, and then the infantry garrisoned around him, putting on a posture of death protection.

They do not have the protection of a parapet, but they are dense enough, several times denser than Li Lianfan's scattered defense.

And the denser the formation duel, the more advantageous it is to the Chinese army.

Therefore, facing the overwhelming Ming army, Shi Shouye didn't panic at all, even a little impatient.

The feeling of bullying an opponent with advanced weapons is quite good.

Zhou Daqi's soldiers were divided into three groups. They were said to be three groups. In fact, the interval between each group was about one mile.

The frontal impact in the middle road, the left and right sides circled to the Chinese army's flank to launch an attack, forming a three-sided attack, and exerting the advantage of the force as much as possible.

Strive to attack as many Chinese soldiers as possible at the same time.

Divided into three groups, the Chinese artillery can't stare at one unit to bomb it, and it can also reduce the pressure of a single unit being bombed.

If there is only one way forward, the bombardment of artillery can make them vomit blood.

There is no cannon to restrict the opponent's cannon, and it is quite a disadvantage to charge against the cannon.

Before the charge, Zhou Daqi's general persuaded: "Should we bring the cannons deployed in Hanyang? It would be a disadvantage if there is no cannon."

Their cannons were originally used to prevent Dahua navy commanders from driving straight in and cutting off the Yangtze River.

At this time, they had already begun the final battle, so the blockade of the river has become less important.

They defeated decisively, and the Chinese army would inevitably flee.

If they were defeated in a decisive battle, they would not be able to block off the river and station them in these three towns in Wuhan.

In short, this decisive battle in Hankou can already determine everything, and it is natural that all forces need to be invested in it.

"I'm afraid it's too late in time."

The other two sides had already launched an attack, and he couldn't stand aside and wait for the cannon.

Otherwise, the Chinese army will have leisure to support other troops.

Said so, but in the end Zhou Daqi sent some people to transport the cannon.

He was also not sure how long this decisive battle would take, and whether he would use cannons later.

A small force went to transport the artillery, and the remaining large force began the offensive.

Of the three forces, the two wings are faster, and the center is slower, so that the offense can be synchronized later.

As the enemy began to act, the Chinese army’s artillery also sounded decisively. Their twelve-jin cannon, the range theory

The Shang has reached five or six miles.

The actual effective range is about two to three miles.

Even if the two armies are still far apart, the artillery is already within reach.

The sound of the artillery sounded, the first few shots did not hit, and the shells fell in the empty space where there was no Ming army.

Tens of thousands of people seem to be a lot, but they don't seem to be many when they are scattered on this battlefield. Many places are still blank, and there is no Ming army.

The Ming Army was not happy because they could all see the observation balloon of the Chinese Army in the distance.

On the observation balloon, the soldiers of the Chinese Army judged the impact point of the shells, and then relayed information to the people below, adjusting the shelling parameters of the shells.

After a few cannons were adjusted, the shells of the Chinese Army began to fall into the phalanx of the Ming Army.

Next is the nightmare of the Ming army. From now until they are close to the Chinese army, they will be slaughtered by artillery shells.

And they have no choice but to endure and move forward.

Moreover, even if the shells landed around them, they were not allowed to run, and they were still able to walk past them at a normal speed.

After all, the road is still very long. If you start running now, you will be exhausted if you reach halfway.

Not allowed to accelerate, the psychology of this pair of soldiers is simply a torture, watching the shells fall in their own square, the soldiers will instinctively want to run.

boom.

Another howitzer fell on the Ming army’s phalanx and exploded. At least hundreds of shrapnel were fired.

A large amount of shrapnel was shot on Ming soldiers, and those shot to the head were basically directly reimbursed.

However, most of them were shot onto the torso and limbs.

Those who have been shot are generally unable to move forward.

Even if it was shot in the arm, under such severe pain, there was no way to move on to fight. It is better to go back and clean the wound for treatment, maybe it can be saved.

The injured were left behind, and the uninjured moved on.

"Disperse dot matrix, widen the front and back distance, and ensure five positions."

In order to reduce the loss, the general of the Ming army issued an order.

Open the front and back distance, so that the formation becomes evacuated.

However, this formation has greatly slowed the team's forward speed, which has advantages and disadvantages.

The Chinese Army’s more than 100 guns attacked the three-way army at the same time, and on average, each army could only be allocated more than 30 guns.

This number is nothing compared to the huge number of Ming troops.

Therefore, even if their artillery can hit from time to time, the Ming army’s advancement has no effect at all, and it continues to advance.
