Chapter 134 Driven
The large fixed-fitting bulk tube was clumsyly stuffed into the tiger squat gun mouth by Ya Nian recruits. They stuffed the medicine line into the tail of the cannon with two Shuntian flag troops. Another Shuntian flag troops raised the fire pole in turn to ignite it, and roared the sky outside Muzhai, Spain.
Hundreds of sparse numbers were instantly bombarded into the air, and parabolas were drawn at the highest point and fell into the camp like hail from the sky, screaming in shock.
The tiger squat cannon is useless to buildings. Even in the simplest wooden camp, the camp made of thick logs is still not something that the tiger squat cannon is used to kill people. Even if the scattered cannon is hit by the village wall, it can only be deeply embedded in the wall.
For soldiers wearing high-top helmets, mail or plate armor in the camp, the ability of tiger squat cannons to cause chaos to them is obviously greater than that of fatal ability. If you are unlucky, you will be smashed with a bruised nose or a bruised forehead on the spot, most people will only suffer very serious fright and minor injuries.
The real power of the tiger squat cannon is suppression and also brings a catastrophe to the armorless enemy.
For example, soldiers in the camp who transported weapons to defend the city, transported shells, and carried logs, and flew stones quickly fell from extremely high altitude, with a lethality of guns fired from a hundred steps away.
Eight-gate tigers squatted and shot in the first round. Three unlucky Spanish soldiers were killed on the spot. More than 30 soldiers guarding the northwest were injured to varying degrees, and eleven of them could no longer continue to participate in the battle.
The company commander in the battalion was a retired captain who had fought with Ottomans. A few years ago, he crossed the ocean with a sword and obtained gold in South America and bought a full set of black Milan plate armor. The tiger squat cannon's squat cannon hit him and could only hear a jingle sound, and he could not hurt him at all.
However, he was not used to wearing the helmet covering armor every day, but with his sensitivity to combat, he saw that unknown army knocking stakes for strange light cannons outside the camp, but he still took off a pair of high-top helmets from the soldiers and buckled them on his head.
Originally, no one thought the shells would hit him. In normal people's imagination, the artillery would first bombard the Muzhai Gate. However, according to the light gun caliber carried by the army, the Muzhai Gate could not hold on to one shot, let alone eight artillery pieces.
Although the captain did not believe that such a large caliber can shoot shells without blowing them up, as a Spanish officer with professional qualities, he ordered the soldiers to prepare for hand-to-hand combat after the village gate was broken.
He put on his helmet just to lead his troops to fight for the only two remaining cavalrymen in Muzhai. I don’t know which country’s navy has landed in New Spain. The Governor must know this news.
This saved his life.
Who would have thought that someone would shoot shotguns at the city wall! This howitzer was so ballistic!
In the Continental War, people occasionally used shotguns, but no one would get the howitzer that fired shotguns so close and hit the targets so concentrated.
This will cause the shotgun to collide in the air and fall into the enemy without any power.
Three spoons fell on the captain's high helmet. Two had collided with other spoons in the air when they fell. The only one was like a small hammer hitting the captain, almost fainting.
When he took off his helmet in a daze, the edge of the high-top helmet had been sunk, and a sticky feeling was flowing down the ends of his hair. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, but the experienced captain did not waste time looking.
His next move was to skillfully take off his plate armor gloves, tear his shirt and sleeves to bandage them on his head, and at the same time, he did not forget to shout to the village: "The wounded soldiers rely on the village wall to bandage the wounds on the spot. Everyone should not panic when looking for cover, they have no means to break the city!"
At this moment, the captain heard a wounded soldier yelling in a struggle: "It's the Chinese Empire, the Ming army! It's the Ming army!"
Ming army.
These two words have a much greater impact on morale than the eight tiger squatting cannons firing at the same time.
Not many New Spanish soldiers have actually seen the Ming army, but no one does not know that there is the Ming army in another direction in the world.
Everyone who had seen the Ming army was dead.
In the Philippine Islands, the Battle of Guam left four indigenous legions in the Governor of New Spain, two mixed-race corpses, one Spanish corps, two escort fleets, and one treasure fleet disappeared.
Even the attacks of the musketeers who continued to shoot at the indigenous people were paused due to the news from the Ming army.
The captain saw that his most undevoted subordinates were kissing the cross.
Blood flowed from his forehead and his right eye was covered with mist. At some point, the monks who followed him with the cross flagpole had climbed to the top of the city and walked to the captain with a blank expression.
"The Spaniards will never surrender!"
Captain: "????"
"The Spaniards will never surrender!"
The monks were determined, even in the new and old Spain, no one was firmer than them, because they were the guardians of secrets.
All New Spanish people know that their exploration of North America is disorganized because the North faces more risks than the South, and the adventurers' brave exploration also originates from several legends.
Florida has the springs of immortality, South Carolina has a Diamond Mountain, Texas has the Kingdom of Granquevila, and Arizona has seven cities full of wealth.
This is made 3g, that is, for gold, gods, glory.
Behind the legend is that the kingdom needs a large number of adventurers to spontaneously protect the hegemony of the Gulf of Mexico waters, and compete with the French for the finances of the countries in the Eastern Front of North America. The Christian alliance is also facing an aggressive invasion by the Ottomans. Philip has no energy to explore North America, but they need America.
Anyone in any country is willing to continue these legends as long as he set foot on this land, because it is in their favor.
Everyone.
The captain knew that he could not surrender, not that it was not like it, but that even if they surrendered, the indigenous people would not leave them a living.
If there were children among them, some indigenous people would raise their children and add the prisoners to their tribes after performing rituals for the prisoners, but they did not have children.
The attack from the village would not work, and the captain did not think they could be guarded against the attack of the Ming army while facing the attack of the indigenous people.
"Cheer up, just one"
Magui's subordinates did not have any scramblers, they did not have professional artillery, and only one of the flag troops carrying tiger squats was from Shuntian, who barely received some training on ballistics on Kuwu Island.
There were many flag troops like him, but most of them were transferred to the Japanese battlefield by the court during the year when the news broke. Most of the people who followed Ma Gui by luck would freeze to death and starve to death in the northern ice field. Even if those who were not dead were disabled, they would stay at Shuihu Peak.
Only one Shuntian Flag Army left can be called a little understanding of artillery.
Even so, when the tiger squat cannon was loaded for the second time and bombarded the village wall, it still beat the soldiers on the wall so hard that they dared not raise their heads, although they did not hurt a few people.
But Ma Gui faced the direction of the indigenous people, and his raised right arm slowly pushed towards Muzhai.
When the Spanish soldiers were suppressed by the tiger squatted cannons and could not fight back outside the camp, the indigenous people rushed towards Muzhai like a tide. Magui turned his head to the North Korean formation soldiers who had not deployed the order, "Cut a few trees in a while and take out the small hollow core."
