Chapter two hundred and seventy-one: welcoming the enemy gentleman

"General, it looks like it will be very dark tonight!"

When Qia Taiji, who was dozens of miles away in Dongsheng City, was smiling confidently at the dim sky, at the Yulin Guard camp where Jun Zijin had just set up camp, Zhu Dingchen, who had been promoted to the rank of Qianhu Official, had something to say.

He pointed at Wang Bing and smiled.

"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and get ready? If a Tatar is allowed to rush into the camp tonight, I, the general, will only ask you!"

Seeing the embarrassed look on the young master's face, Wang Bing, who was laughing and cursing, raised his leg and kicked him!

"General, don't worry. The general has already surveyed the artillery position. We are just waiting for the general's order, hahahaha!"

After nimbly dodging Wang Bing's kick, Zhu Dingchen immediately called to his group of artillerymen who had been prepared long ago, and ran towards the pre-explored artillery array with the Crouching Tiger Cannon and ammunition.

Thanks to its lightness and ability to deal with cluster attacks, the Crouching Tiger Cannon has become one of the three standard equipment of the Habayashi Guards along with the cannon and grenades.

The entire Yulin Guard is equipped with a total of 1,500 Tiger Crouching Cannons, commanded by three artillery Qianhu officers, Zhu Dingchen, Zhang Weixian and Wu Changsheng.

And this Wu Changsheng was the son of the man named Wu who vowed to let his son enter the Yulin Guard after meeting him for the first time. He was also the first Qianhu official born as a commoner in the Yulin Guard.

.

"Lao San, didn't we bring so many landmines this time? How about we just open the business?"

After seeing Zhu Dingchen leading the artillery to set up the artillery array, Wu Youren looked at Wang Bing with a smirk on his face.

"Well, yes, with the guidance of mine explosions, we can better identify the direction of the Tatar attack. But you have to mark it well, and those that have not been detonated can be taken back when daybreak, otherwise it is not a joke to blow ourselves up.

of."

Wang Bing agreed to Wu Youren's proposal after some thought.

In fact, speaking of it, whether the Yulin Guards are currently equipped with grenades or landmines, Wang Bing, a time traveler, sometimes feels very unfulfilled.

There is no way, people in the Ming Dynasty had already invented these things, and they were very 'modern'.

Take the current mines as an example. They had been invented in the early years of the Ming Dynasty. However, the early mines were mainly made of stone as the shell, so they were called stone bombs. Their power was amazing.

In the Battle of Baigouhe in the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di, who later became Emperor Chengzu, was bombed down to three cavalrymen and was almost captured alive.

After Zhu Di succeeded to the throne, he also attached great importance to this kind of stone explosive cannon that had caused him great losses. So by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, not only had the stone explosive cannon developed an iron shell, but also its

The ignition device has also been upgraded from the original open flame fuse to a steel wheel ignition.

After upgrading to this kind of steel wheel ignition device with a similar principle to the flintlock gun, as long as it is stepped on, the flint inside will rub against the steel wheel to ignite the gunpowder, thus triggering an explosion quite accurately.

And that's not all, even the kind of serial mines that explode as soon as one mine explodes, the other mines will also explode, have also been invented.

So faced with such a 'modern' landmine, what Wang Bing could do was to rely on the power of brown gunpowder to make it smaller while maintaining the explosive power.



"Boom boom boom boom..."

Along with the dazzling firelight, a deafening roar also sounded immediately. After waiting for most of the night, the Yulin Guard soldiers who were already a little drowsy felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they became energetic instantly.

stand up.

Especially Zhu Dingchen, the Artillery Qianhu Officer, his face was red with excitement. With his small eyes wide open, he was carefully judging the direction of the enemy's attack by the bright and flickering firelight.

"The first group, the third group, the fourth group, free fire!"

Soon, with the light of the mine explosion, the excited young man locked the direction of attacking the enemy and began to order the tiger crouching artillery that had been in position to bombard them.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Following Zhu Dingchen's order, several groups of squatting tiger cannons were ordered to ignite the fuses of the squatting tiger cannons in an instant, and then in a roar that was not inferior to landmines, pieces of lead were sprayed out.

The stones, like a big net, covered the Tatar cavalry who were lucky enough to break through the mine array.

"Ah~"

"Herod..."

Accompanied by the explosion of landmines and the roar of Crouching Tiger Cannon, in the thick darkness, the extremely sad roaring and neighing sounds of the Tatar cavalry were immediately heard.

However, compared to the earth-shattering explosions and roars of the Yulin Guards, the roars and neighs of those people at this moment seemed so small and insignificant.

"Group 2567, give me a blast!"

With the explosion of landmines and the continuous bombardment of Crouching Tiger Cannon, the Tatar cavalry who suffered heavy losses were not fools, and then took advantage of the mobility of their horses to change directions and continue the attack.

It's just a pity that a guy like Wang Bing, who suffers from the "phobia of lack of firepower", has infected the whole Yulin Guard, from generals to sergeants at all levels, who are also suffering from the "phobia of lack of firepower".

For this reason, the Habayashi Guards went on an expedition, preferring not to bring any food but to make dried meat in tea soup every day, so as to save their transportation capacity and carry ammunition.

Therefore, these Chiataji's cavalrymen were too naive to think that they could avoid being bombed by attacking in another direction.



"It's boring, I haven't even fired the gun yet!"

When it was just getting dark, Zhu Dingchen issued an order to stop the bombardment, and the whole battlefield suddenly became quiet.

Of course, this quiet moment was just face to face. After the roar of the Crouching Tiger Cannon disappeared, the noisy and shrill roar of men and horses neighing on the entire battlefield became clearer at this moment.

"General, do you want to clean up the battlefield immediately? Hehe!"

As the bombardment ended, Zhu Dingchen, who was eager to know the detailed results of the battle, couldn't help but run to Wang Bing and plead.

"Okay, young master, if you are not afraid of flying on a plane, you can go, hehehehe!"

By the light of the torch, Wang Bing encouraged the young man with a wicked smile on his face as he looked at the excited young man.

"Tu Fei Chicken? What is Tu Fei Chicken? Can it be fried?"

Hearing the new term that came out of Wang Bing's mouth, this young man who was completely obsessed with cannons and bombing his mother immediately started asking curiously.

"Third brother, are you still happy? You have never thought about how many horses we have lost!"
