Chapter 399 Jiang Liangping worried
A good face, of course, is a bad face after losing the battle.
It’s a shame to see Yan Hong running.
"I’m guilty. I underestimated the thief army."
"A lot of people died just now?"
Yan Hongliang took a deep breath and said, "What do you have to say?"
"The thief army is very strict in its defense. It is difficult to fill the moat ditch at night. Besides … there is no other way."
Yan hong ran to see honestly admit that his ability is limited. Yan hong Liang was angry, but he couldn’t think of a better way to let Yan hong run to see off with a wave of his hand.
After getting off to a bad start, the first battle suffered a lot of setbacks and obstacles. The river city was far more tenacious than Yan Yanliang imagined, which made Yan Yanliang start to worry that he would lose too many troops after the battle.
However, the river city is very important, so we have to capture it, but we can also continue to appoint soldiers to continue to command the army.
In the next few days, Wan Yanliang asked the army to organize attacks day and night to fill the river ditch with arrows, rain and firearms in exchange for the progress of filling.
Hundreds of people are killed or injured every day because firearms are put into the Jin army. The number of dead people is increasing, and the number of wounded people is also increasing. Fortunately, the progress of filling is also increasing, and the advantages accumulated by the people have not been lost.
But this is when the war just started.
Even for the goal of conquering the river city, it is also a beginning. Even if the moat ditch is filled, it will take a lot of effort to attack the city wall. Isn’t it too much to lose a lot of troops?
Scattered out to explore the news, you rode back and reported that there were no signs of people around the river city, as if the river city was an ancient city, and there was no help around them. They seemed to be fighting with trapped animals.
Isn’t there a supporting army around such an important river city?
There should be, right?
Yan hong ran to see a little confused about what the Guangfu army really wanted to do, but it was also able to order Youqi to continue to go deep into Hebei and continue to explore the field troops and human settlements of the Guangfu army
He can’t find anyone if he doesn’t believe it.
Just when Yan Hong ran to see worried, 8 Jin J firearms finally arrived.
Yan Hongliang rejoiced in the past and immediately arranged for the army to launch a firearms counterattack against the river city to enhance the attack on the river city.
They also have many different types of firearms, but the two are the most common at the siege end.
One is the rocket-the gunpowder barrel is tied to the front end of the arrow to launch the arrow, which is no different from the Guangfu Army rocket.
The other is artillery-a kind of firearm that makes gunpowder ignite incendiary bomb.
This is the fireball of the Guangfu Army, which is very different.
The fireball of the Guangfu Army is a new gunpowder weapon obtained by mastering more advanced gunpowder manufacturing and technology after the explosion injured the enemy and improved the gunpowder quality.
The main purpose of Jin Jun’s artillery or combustion is burning damage.
Of course, they also have explosive properties. The gunpowder weapon was born out of the thunderbolt gun in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is said that the iron cannon can be used individually or as a catapult.
But their explosion effect is very poor.
The sound is really loud and thunderous, but the way to kill the enemy is not the impact of gunpowder explosion, but the impact of the iron shell after it is broken.
It is said that after the explosion of the iron cannon, the fragments of the iron shell can penetrate the armor and the horrible flame can burn the armor red.
Sounds powerful.
However, it is not the case after Su Yonglin captured the test of the individual iron artillery of the 8 Jin Army.
This level and magnitude of gunpowder can generally blow the iron shell into three or five pieces, some of which are not of good quality. It can really blow through the armor at close range, but you have to be very lucky to hit the target at close range, otherwise you will just listen to it.
What can burn the armor red after the explosion is an exaggeration? Art can be seen on paper but not in reality.
What is really effective is that the sound is really loud after the explosion. A little carelessness will deafen the ears, which is really terrible.
However, this kind of single-soldier iron artillery is generally not a field battle, but when the soldiers are guarding the city, they ignite the iron artillery and throw it into the city, waiting for it to explode and hurt the enemy. It is almost impossible to do field battle.
The effect is just like that
Moreover, it is very important that the probability of successful explosion of this kind of iron artillery is very low.
Su Yonglin took apart the iron cannons that failed to explode, and there were only a few problems.
Either the powder is filled with too much powder particles, and there are not enough gaps, and the gas is not enough to burn and not explode.
Or it’s wet and caked and won’t burn.
Either sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal are separated by themselves during the transportation of gunpowder, and it can’t explode.
More than half of the 100 iron guns have such problems, and the authenticity of this firearm can be seen.
The powder root can’t be made on the spot for a long time before the powder granulation treatment, otherwise it will either separate itself or get wet and agglomerate.
In this era, Jin Jun went further because Song Jun firearms were not troubled by this.
