Li Yan didn't even have time to see where the shell flew, and quickly asked people to fire the second shot.
The reason why this artillery adopts the rear-loading cluster bomb method is to increase the rate of fire, and the other bullet is pushed in quickly.
After the installation was completed, Li Yan lit the fuse of the cannon again.
At this moment, he quickly raised his head and saw a cannonball suddenly hit the position where Nurhaci was.
Nurhaci was standing on the hillside at this time, and he had already turned his horse and started running back. He had already seen the artillery shells flying straight towards his own people.
Nurhaci was also shocked and quickly turned his horse around to escape.
The artillery shells fly very slowly, but in fact their speed is very fast.
Before Nurhaci could turn his horse around, he subconsciously clamped his horse's belly, and the cannonball arrived.
After the shell landed, there was a loud rumbling sound, instantly splashing the dust on the ground, and a crater was instantly blown out around it. Shrapnel from the shell flew out instantly.
The shrapnel bombs were taken from one of the central flowers, and a lot of iron nails and other things were placed in it, which also scattered out instantly.
This shot directly knocked Nurhaci off his horse, and Amin beside him was not spared either.
The personal guards who were protecting Nurhaci were also blown to pieces.
You have to know that this shell weighs more than ten pounds, and that's because it's loaded with shrapnel. If it were replaced with live ammunition, it could even fire a live ammunition weighing dozens of pounds, and its power would be even more invincible.
The first shell exploded, and before the guards could react, the second shell had already arrived.
When the personal guards on the side saw this scene, they immediately pounced on Nurhaci.
At this moment, the second shell also exploded.
Then came the third, fourth, fifth... shells coming down like they were free.
At this moment, Li Guangrong also saw this scene. He waved the saber in his hand and shouted loudly: "The wild boar skin has been blown to death. Follow me! Kill the head and claim the credit!"
After saying this, Li Guangrong took the lead and rushed away with his men.
Li Yan, who was standing on the top of the city wall, jumped up excitedly after seeing this scene.
"Can we continue fighting?" Xiong Tingbi clenched his fists excitedly, turned around and looked at Li Yan and asked.
His voice was trembling a little, and it was obvious that he was trying to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"No, we need to run some cold water over the barrel to cool it down." Li Yan shook his head and said, "The pressure inside this type of artillery is too high. We can't fire it continuously, or it'll explode easily."
"The shrapnel we're using now is relatively weak. If it were too big, it would explode. The Baigong Academy is still refining the process, so this is just a semi-finished product."
Hearing Li Yan's somewhat regretful tone, Xiong Tingbi nodded slightly. In his heart, he roughly understood what His Majesty meant. He knew why His Majesty insisted on defending Liaodong, and why he would not let him go out to fight even if he had an advantage.
Perhaps what Your Majesty is waiting for is this kind of artillery and the research results of the Academy of Craftsmen.
Ever since he arrived in Liaodong, good things from the Baigong Academy have been continuously sent to him.
More advanced matchlock guns, various types of cannons. Once all these things are ready, Your Majesty will definitely come to attack Liaodong.
Thinking about the future, Xiong Tingbi was excited.
What a grand scene it would be if hundreds of cannons were fired at the same time?
At this moment, the Wild Boar Skin's formation was in chaos.
Nurhaci was attacked and the entire command system was in chaos.
Manggurtai and others led the ambush troops and no longer cared about ambushing the Ming cavalry.
Originally, Nurhaci led his troops to resist the Ming army head-on, while the ambushes on both sides rushed out and caught the Ming army off guard.
But looking at the current situation, it is no longer possible to charge the Ming cavalry head-on, as the situation there is already in chaos.
The soldiers and horses ambushed on both sides did not care about that and rushed out from both sides. What they had to do was to stop Li Guangrong's cavalry and prevent them from going up the hillside.
The two sides soon met in front of the battle, and the confrontation between cavalry began at this moment. The battle between the two sides instantly became fierce.
Li Guangrong and his men were determined to take the hillside and capture Nurhaci there.
The others tried their best to stop Li Guangrong and would not let him go up no matter what.
In an instant, screams were heard everywhere.
Shouts and the neighing of horses resounded throughout the battlefield.
