"The number of musketeers is very limited." Li Si knew the number of musketeers very well.

"The current number of muskets manufactured by Da Qin can produce 120 to 150 muskets per day. Moreover, Da Qin's musket fleet only has 300 muskets, which is less than the total number of muskets produced by Yan State. And currently

The number of artillery pieces equipped is also very small. There are only ten artillery pieces." Li Si said slowly.

"That's why it's even more important to call." Wei Liao said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Mr. Qin is awake. Mr. Qin is awake." Zhao Gao shouted regardless of court etiquette.

"What?" King Qin said happily.

"I'll go take a look right now." King Qin immediately stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qin is awake." Zhao Gao said breathlessly.

"Zhao Gao, prepare the chariot." King Qin said loudly.

Li Si and the others looked at each other, at a loss.

"You guys should come along too. If you want to discuss this matter of guns, you must ask Mr. Qin." King Qin turned around and said.

A battle with artillery as the protagonist is taking place in the north.

The Yan army, supplemented by twenty artillery pieces, immediately began a major counterattack against the Zhao army.

The leader of the team this time was Ju Xin. King Yan thought that he knew the best about artillery, so he personally appointed Ju Xin to take charge.

The Yan army marched out of the city with 30,000 troops and arrived outside the Zhao army's camp.

Zhao Jun refused to leave and the whole army was under martial law.

The Yan army was divided into formations, with thirty thousand soldiers on the left, center and right, and twenty artillery pieces placed in the middle.

"Report, Zhao Jun will not come out. Guard the camp strictly." A spy horse flew up to report.

"No, hehe, no," Ju Xin said with a sneer.

"He didn't come out. Well, I will tell him to get out." Ju Xin said harshly.

"Come here, order the artillery team to aim at Zhao Jun's camp and hit hard." Ju Xin ordered.

"Here." A school lieutenant responded after receiving the order.

Twenty artillery pieces were lined up in a row. The muzzles were slightly too high and they were aimed directly at the Zhao army camp.

"Get ready, each artillery piece," an artillery battalion commander shouted loudly. The Yan army learned the artillery battery system from the Qin army. After having twenty artillery pieces, an artillery battalion was quickly established. This artillery battalion consisted of

Four artillery batteries. Each company has five artillery pieces.

"Aim." The battalion commander shouted loudly, raising his arms high.

"Let go." The battalion commander waved his arm.

"Bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang." The cannons were fired one after another.

"Whoosh". The artillery shells roared towards Zhao Jun's camp.

"What a pity." Wang Ben, standing on a high ground, shook his head with a telescope.

After three days of intense training, these Yan Army artillerymen did not perform well.

Most of the artillery shells fell on the Zhao army camp. Only a few artillery shells fell on the Zhao army.

The high wooden fence erected in Zhao Jun's camp was smashed to pieces. Zhao Jun's camp near the fence was completely destroyed. Those shells that did not hit Zhao Jun's camp fell to the ground and bounced up. Hitting the fence, Zhao Jun was killed

Several gaps were made in the fence.

The first round of artillery fire was barely okay. Wang Ben commented in his heart.

Regarding artillery shooting, Shang Wen once warned Wang Ben that if you want to continue shooting, it is best to wait longer. Only in this way can you continue to shoot. Wang Ben taught this to the Yan army without reservation, and Wang Ben turned his attention to

Arrested the artillery camp of the Yan Army.

"What a bunch of idiots." Wang Ben scolded fiercely.

"I have already warned them to stay longer so that they can continue bombarding. These idiots are actually firing at such a high speed." Wang Ben cursed loudly.

"Bang, bang, bang." The artillery began to fire continuously. The rhythm of the firing was a bit chaotic, because the second round of the artillery of some companies had not been loaded yet.

"Whoosh." The artillery shells roared towards Zhao Jun's camp.

This time the artillery was quite accurate. The Yan army was more serious about shooting Zhu Yuan with its artillery. The artillery used by the Yan army was equipped with aiming equipment. These are the equipment of the Qin army, and now they are in the hands of the Yan army. They naturally learned

arrive.

"Ah. It hurts so much. Help." Zhao Jun howled like ghosts. This time, a lot of camps were hit. Many Zhao Jun in the camps ran out one after another, so the killing effect of the shells flying everywhere was more obvious.

Many Zhao soldiers had their heads knocked off by the ejected cannonballs while running. Blood splattered from the broken necks. The people running in front did not get better either. The cannonballs that bounced on the ground shortened the soldiers' legs.

When it encounters a cannonball, it breaks off in response.

Then the soldiers began to shout loudly, holding Zhao Jun who had a broken leg and shouting loudly. But the soldiers on the side could only hide away. Such a scene could only frighten them, and then they would instinctively hide away.

Zhao Jun, who did not know the situation behind, had no choice but to rush over in order to survive. As a result, some of the injured Zhao Jun soldiers were trampled to death.

The frequency of artillery firing was very high. There was no regard for shooting principles. The Yan army's gunners fired randomly. As soon as the loading was completed, they fired immediately. Even the gunpowder that was not extinguished in the barrel was not dipped in water to extinguish it.

Wang Ben was worried about these bold artillerymen of the Yan army.

Zhao Jun's camp began to collapse. Zhao Jun had lingering fears about this weapon. In that siege, most of Zhao Jun's casualties came from firearms. Among the casualties from firearms, artillery was the largest. This weapon is not only powerful.

, and it can hit far, as far as two miles, almost Zhao Jun

All the weapons in it are incomparable, and the most terrifying thing is its killing effect. The soldiers standing aside didn't know what was going on, and their heads were knocked off in one fell swoop, or one of their arms was missing.

.As long as you hit something flying and get seriously injured, you are lucky.

Moreover, this kind of injury cannot be treated. Most of the soldiers injured by Zhao Jun in the last siege died within a few days. And they died very miserably. They cried for help all the time.

Some couldn't bear the pain and gave themselves a knife. For those who insisted on living, most of their wounds gradually rotted away. In the end, they couldn't stand it anymore and chose to commit suicide.

But the very painful cry made the tortured Zhao soldiers frightened.

Today's cannons kept ringing like thunder, destroying the last bit of Zhao Jun's courage.

As Zhao Jun's camp was continuously bombarded, Zhao Jun finally collapsed and the entire army fled.

After Li Mu failed to attack the city, he had decided to withdraw his troops on his own initiative, but King Zhao strictly prohibited it. Li Mu had to go to see King Zhao in person to explain the reason. The army was temporarily taken over by Sima Shanglai.

When the cannon sounded, Sima Shang had no idea what was going on. However, when the army collapsed, it was no longer controllable.

Zhao Jun fled in all directions, and most of the soldiers were in chaos.

All the carriages, horses, tents and other baggage were thrown away.

In order to reduce weight, the soldiers even threw away their weapons. Some experienced veterans even threw away their armor. The Zhao army only knew how to escape, not to resist.

Sima Shang brought his personal guards and couldn't control them at all.

Ju Xin was very happy to see this situation.

After only a few rounds were fired, Zhao Jun could no longer withstand it, so he loudly ordered: "The whole army pursues."

Thirty thousand Yan troops began to launch a rapid pursuit. They had been holding back their energy for a long time and gave Zhao Jun a hard lesson.
