Chapter 94: Bombarding Cai's Frontier Defense

Because the use of gunpowder has been liberalized, the current production capacity of the arsenal has also exploded, artillery has finally been mass-produced, and large-scale war machines have finally appeared.

A full hundred locomotives bouncing on the road; 60 three-wheeled locomotives took the lead, mainly snipers on them.

There are 40 latest four-wheeled locomotives behind them. These locomotives are still very simple, but their transportation capacity is already very strong, and the load has exceeded ten tons. The most conspicuous thing is that ten of the locomotives have a two-and-a-half-meter-long iron pipe on the back, which is as thick as a thigh-needless to say, this is a cannon! Caliber, 150 mm!

Knowing that gunpowder could no longer be owned by himself, Li Xian immediately ordered the production of artillery. Today, the ten cannons are ready to show their destructive power in this world. The thirty four-wheeled locomotives in the back transported all shells.

This time it was Liu Leigang's turn to chatter, "General Cheng Jiming, you have to take care of it later. From now on, this artillery will be commonly used equipment by everyone, so you must take a good look at it.

In order to take care of you, I specifically asked the young master for instructions on this first attack, and let you be the first to follow and observe. Don't waste this opportunity. That would disappoint me and the young master. "

"Shut up!" Cheng Jiming blushed like an apple.

"I can shut up, but you have to promise that you will not waste this opportunity."

"I promise! You can shut up now."

"Wait, there's more, I said..."

"You're enough!" Cheng Jiming jumped up and beat Liu Leigang to the ground; Cheng Jiming, who was already at the golden core stage, was still Liu Leigang at the foundation stage; besides, Liu Leigang still had a broken arm.

The locomotive team soon arrived at Cai Guo's border gate, and they were familiar with the road; Liu Leigang had dark circles on his face, looking at the situation majestically; the surrounding soldiers gritted their teeth hard to hold back their laughter.

Liu Leigang stopped a mile away from the Great Wall of Cai Guo’s border defense, completely out of range of the ballista; then General Liu swaggered and waved to Cai Guo’s border guards: “Hey, how are you? I’m here to see you!”

Cai Guo's frontier soldiers were furious. Some people mobilized the crossbow bed to shoot, but they couldn't hurt Liu Leigang at all; instead, the soldiers in Anyang laughed loudly.

After saying hello, Liu Leigang ordered 10 cannons to line up, and gave the order to attack freely! To put it bluntly, today is to test guns and collect data! Checking and attacking, hugging grass and hitting rabbits are both correct.

Everyone was in the groping stage, and the ten cannons attacked freely, but with the experience of using sniper rifles, the officer in charge still consciously used salvo.

"No. 1 gun, use a 45° elevation angle; No. 10 gun shoots flat. The rest reduce the elevation angle by 10%. Countdown, 10, 9... 2, 1, 0! Launch!"

"Boom!" The ground shook, completely different from the weakness of guns, the artillery showed its violent side from the very beginning. The 150 mm caliber produced a huge recoil force, and the artillery was actually retreated by as much as half a meter. The smoke of the fired ammunition was like a cloud of smoke around it.

There were several screams in the air, and the shells completed their attack in the blink of an eye.

Of the 10 cannonballs, the nearest one was flat-fired, and exploded after firing only half the distance. The sand field in front of the city wall was directly blasted, and in the dust, there were countless dead bones flying around. I don't know when the dead bones were left.

The second shell cleverly landed on the heel of the city wall, and with a roar, the defensive formation on the surface of the city wall rippled like water ripples.

The third and fourth shells all hit the city wall, and the violent explosion made the city wall seem to shake slightly. And the shock wave of the explosion caused many Cai Guo soldiers on the city wall to collapse to the ground, dizzy.

As for the remaining shells, they all fell behind the city wall.

And the tenth shell flew the furthest...

"The general is not good, the general is not good! Anyang is calling again! It's that kind of strange locomotive again!" A soldier ran to the mansion of Cai Guo's border general in a panic.

The frontier general at the moment is still Lu Chenggang. Unlike Prime Minister Yan Ze'an, Yan Zhengqing, one of the top generals of the Imperial Forest Army, and others, border generals cannot be changed casually. Therefore, Lu Chenggang still sits here.

But now Lu Chenggang is struggling - the new prime minister has secretly expressed that he should surrender quickly, otherwise he will go to hell with the former prime minister.

Just as he was struggling, Lu Chenggang heard the soldiers shout: "Anyang is calling again!"

A stream of ignorant karma rushed to the top of his head, and Lu Cheng just jumped up, "Come again! Okay, I want to personally raise the army to step on Ping'anyang!"

Suddenly a guard shouted: "There are stones in the sky..."

"Boom!!!" It's not a stone in the sky, but a shell! The tenth shell closely followed the soldier's footsteps, and just landed in the middle of the courtyard of the General's Mansion, where a center blossomed.

Seven or eight guards around were instantly thrown away by shells, and a few unlucky ones were torn apart on the spot.

Unprepared, these soldiers on the seventh and eighth floors of the Qi refining period are not much different from ordinary people. A few more clever ones circulated their true energy in advance, and their internal organs were also displaced, and the purple-red internal blood was sprayed out without any money.

And Lu Chenggang looked at a piece of shrapnel inserted into his shoulder stupidly. Finally, the pain stimulated Lu Chenggang to wake up, "What's going on? What's going on?"

It's a pity that the soldier who came to report the news was just torn apart, and now it has been scattered to all corners of the yard.

But there was no need for soldiers to send messages, and soon the second wave of shells landed. Different from the first wave of artillery shells, the second wave of artillery shells were all concentrated on the city wall; a few black and gray smoke and dust rose from the city wall in front of it, and there were continuous explosions and screams.

The sound of the explosion, Lu Chenggang is too unforgettable!

Seeing the sound of explosions coming from ahead, soldiers screaming, and clouds of smoke rising into the sky, Lu Chenggang felt angry and even more frightened!

Looking at the tragic scene in the yard, looking at his bleeding shoulder and the broken iron pieces (shrapnel), it made Lu Chenggang feel a kind of speechless fear! This kind of fear is not only the fear of shells, but also the suspicion of the past - after decades of practice, it is no match for a pack of gunpowder!

As expected of being a border general, Lu Chenggang finally bit the bullet and led his own soldiers to scout ahead. When Lu Cheng first climbed onto the city wall, the attack had already been carried out five or six times; the defensive formations on the city wall had been partially damaged, and some corpses were lying on the city wall in a mess.

When Lu Chenggang went to the city, the Anyang soldier responsible for observing the situation here shouted: "Lu Chenggang is here!"

"Ha, set the fire, set the fire, set the fire for me!" Liu Leigang was so happy; it was so cool! After a while, Liu Leigang fell in love with this kind of shocking feeling - shocking others.

However, when Lu Cheng just stepped onto the city wall and saw that there were only a hundred locomotives instead of a large army, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to encourage everyone with a few words, when a corporal next to him grabbed Lu Chenggang, "General, get out of the way, They're all pointing their way at you!"

"What?!" As soon as Lu Cheng turned his head, he saw ten shells flying towards him.

The ingenuity of the Jindanqi master came into play; Lu Cheng just grabbed the corporal leader and jumped off the city wall at once. But the soldiers in the rear and so on don't have this reaction speed.

"Boom...boom..." Ten shells exploded at the same time, and more than 30 soldiers got on the earth plane at once.

Ten shells fell on the city wall that had already been shattered at the same time; not only were more than 30 soldiers reimbursed, even the city wall could no longer withstand the toss, the upper half of the city wall finally collapsed with a crash!

Lu Chenggang, who was still in mid-air, had red eyes immediately, "Li Xian! I will never die with you!"
