A moment later, artillery fired almost at the same time on the two earthen cities! Round shells roared at the crowd that was still busy. When Shandong soldiers heard the cannons fired in the city, they not only did not hide, but instead accelerated their movements.

They have all been trained, and artillery soldiers will fire air cannons at them at a very close distance, or want them to fire shells beside them to adapt to their fear of shells. Moreover, the officers have repeatedly emphasized that this smoothbore cannon has limited accuracy. As long as it is not a dense formation, it can only be said that this person is not lucky!

But training is actually not like this! The first artillery bombardment of the Qing army, the landing point of the shell was very close to Shandong artillery! And more than a dozen people were killed! Some died on the spot, while others were broken limbs, and their screams were very miserable!

The artillery officer was shocked when he saw this and immediately shouted loudly: "Distract, disperse! The enemy's artillery had tested the fire! Go and look for the marker immediately!"

The artillery officer's order was timely. Under his command, the infantry quickly retreated, leaving only a small number of people to cooperate with the artillery officer to find the markers.

The artillery officer knew the use of artillery and knew that it was impossible to shoot the guns at once. It was impossible to have no markers! Even after ranging and test firing! The artillery officer was very clever. He knew that he could not find the markers for a moment, so he shouted to the soldiers: "Take all things that can be moved away, as long as it is not in place!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers moved away everything around the artillery position, including various stones of different sizes. In fact, these stones happened to be the mark of the Qing army artillery.

The soldiers braved two rounds of fire from the rear artillery to remove all the stones, wooden stakes and other things on the ground, and at the same time moved the cannon position. This made the Qing army's fourth round of artillery obviously deviate when it came!

This made the artillery officer feel relieved, and he shouted loudly: "We were cheated by these bastards, so we must retaliate! Brothers, hurry up and build the artillery position to fight back!"

When the Qing army artillery fired the sixth round, the fire was re-arranged

The artillery position has finally taken shape! The artillery soldiers are also ready to fight back! They stare at the city wall one by one, and the anger in their eyes is clearly visible!

After all, over the years, they were the only ones who could beat others. Today, they were actually shot in a few rounds of artillery, and many people were killed and injured! This was a huge humiliation for the artillery!

The artillery officer who was commanding the search for the markers just now also felt the artillery thoughts and immediately said: "Boys, please make me a little bit accurate! Knock off all these artillery positions and our mortar can move forward! At that time, blow this group of dogs to death, and the mother raised it!"

The angry artillery soldiers also shouted loudly, saying that they would defeat all the artillery on the city! Then the artillery soldiers fired the first round of counterattack artillery under the command of the officer! The artillery shells flew toward the city with roaring dust!

Moreover, these artillery soldiers do not stay in the same place and shoot continuously. According to the artillery rules, when the enemy artillery has a preset position, the artillery position must be changed every five rounds of shooting!

This is the benefit of easy movement of Shandong artillery. Every time they need to rotate, a few soldiers drag the artillery to move to the new artillery position, which is very convenient!

But even so, the Shandong artillery lost two artillery and five soldiers in the early attack! But their counterattack did work. With the constant interference of the shells, the Qing army's gunners performed significantly abnormally!

Except for the first few rounds, the landing points of the other rounds of shells were relatively large! Shandong artillery instead took this opportunity to start fighting back fiercely, and the shells hit the city walls and splashed dust, seriously interfering with the shooting of Qing army artillery!

However, overall, the Qing army, which had a high advantage and measured distance, had obvious advantages! During the artillery battle in the morning, the Qing army destroyed seven artillery pieces of Shandong soldiers and horses, but lost only two artillery pieces!

However, the Qing army also had an unfavorable factor, that is, their artillery was too heavy and the artillery position could not be moved at all! Therefore, although the initial losses of Shandong soldiers were a little larger, by noon, they were getting more and more accurate! From time to time, shells hit the brick walls outside the Qing army's artillery position. It can be seen that the destruction of this

It's only a matter of time before some gun positions!

After Liu Pei arranged all the battles, he went back to the camp to rest. However, he still needed to put more pressure on the Qing army! When the artillery on the city was almost destroyed, the Qing army would probably not be able to sit still.

In fact, this day came much earlier than Liu Pei expected! After a one-day artillery battle, Shandong soldiers paid the price of more than 20 artillery damage, killing seven or eight of the two Qing army's central parts! Moreover, the artillery has marked all the Qing army's artillery positions, and they are waiting to be knocked out one by one!

The artillery positions that have been knocked off of Haoyou are a good breakthrough. Shandong artillery soldiers are ready to use this gap to push the artillery to the formation! Once the artillery has stood its heel, there is no need to think of artillery on the wall in front of them! Because the flowering bullets will blow the artillery together with the artillery positions!

Moreover, even after the Qing army had already made up for the gap, the artillery troops were confident of completing their tasks! Because after the new artillery was arranged, the original ranging data was equivalent to being invalidated! Judging from the existing accuracy of the smoothbore gun and the level of the Qing army gunners, it took them a long time to calibrate the artillery, which was enough for the mortar gun troops to blow them all into the sky!

After a whole day of artillery battle, it finally ended in the evening. With the help of night cover, the artillery dragged the artillery back to the camp. This was to prevent the enemy from sneak attacking at night.

Under the cover of the same night, the Qing army's positions sent many people to attack the artillery positions. Because of the cover of the night, it was impossible to see how many people there were in the Qing army. These people carefully touched the periphery of the artillery positions before stopping to rest.

Their stay was clever, in the darkness outside the firelight! In order to prevent the enemy's night attack, there were many fires lit outside the artillery position. This traditional defense method is very troublesome, but it is very effective. The firelight illuminates a large open space, and anyone who appears in this area will be discovered!
