six red cannons were pulled away from the city walls with white cloth for shielding.

the gun barrel made of pig iron is dark and cold. After filling the shells quickly, we aim at the location of the trebuchet cars and fire!

Boom!

there were six deafening roars in a row, and the barrel of the red cannon emitted real blue and black smoke.

the shell shot across the sky like a meteor, flew over the position of the Liao army, and went straight to the position of the trebuchet behind the Liao army.

it's just that the artillery of this era is far from satisfactory in terms of power and accuracy.

if the bulky red cannon wants to hit the target, apart from relying on the gunner's experience, the rest can only be left to providence.

but the huge firing cost of the red cannon doomed the court to invest too much in training the gunners in firing skills, so when a cannonball went out, it was almost entirely closed by providence.

under such a premise, its accuracy can only be described as miserable.

six red-coat cannons were fired together and six shells were fired, of which only two were slightly more reliable, but only two trebuchet trucks were injured and another four shells, killing dozens of people, but the trebuchet was still intact.

in today's red cannon, the function of gunpowder is to push huge solid shells out of the chamber, causing physical damage with the potential energy of the shells themselves, and gunpowder is hardly involved in the explosion.

so its power is extremely limited.

and its filling is very troublesome.

you can only shoot one shot at a time of incense.

because of its low efficiency and unreliable power, although the red cannon has been around for many years, it has never been able to play a leading role in the battlefield.

Today Li Chen really saw its limitations. There are a total of eight trebuchet cars opposite

. After a round of firing of six red cannons, all of them still have the ability to throw stones again, but the stones are about to be hit in the second round, and the red cannons on their own side are still being loaded with ammunition.

this efficiency can only be useful against targets that are large and immobile in positional warfare.

such as the Hall of Supreme Harmony during the chaos in the capital at that time.

Li Chen frowned, pulled in Wu Jingcang and said, "immediately find a group of sharpshooters with superior arms and carry Daqin Shenlei with arrows to destroy the trebuchet of the Liao army!"

the city wall is far from the location of the catapult, so it is impossible to kill it effectively by ordinary means, and the only deterrent red cannon has proved that its target is really unreliable, so Li Chen can only use Sima as a live horse doctor.

before Chen Tong sent a batch of Daqin Shenlei over, so Wu Jingcang was no stranger to this thing. When he heard Li Chen's attention, he immediately lit up his eyes and immediately ordered people to prepare.

by this time, the second round projection of the trebuchet is coming.

"your Highness, this is really not a place to stay for a long time. If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, he asks the temple to go under the city wall!" Xu Wei said hurriedly.

clenched his teeth, Li Chen glanced at the Liao army, which was still coming like a tide, and said angrily, "Let's go down first!"

he knows that staying here at this time is not only not helpful, but also a drag.

Smart people should make the right choice at the right time. The TV series that force the halo of protagonists and heroes to show the halo of protagonists and heroes when they know it is extremely dangerous are all set by cerebral palsy.

if Li Chen raised his arms and forcibly boosted morale at the front, the Liao army's archers and trebuchet cars would target him like a mad dog.ts and think of a way out."nodding, Zhao Xuanji said, "well, Brother Zhang, I always feel at ease when you do things.""by the way, I'm going to send someone to kill the crown prince."this earth-shatte...
