Heavy fire cannons were banned, and a larger number of light Franco cannons, crossbows, and bird cannons were used instead, which increased the density of firepower against light cavalry.
Compared with the car camps in the era of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, these new light car camps in the middle and late Wanli period, which were composed of light vehicles, required weight reduction in pursuit of mobility. Compared with the previous old car camps, the firepower density was higher.
It has been increased several times to adapt to new enemies that have lost the ability to maintain equipped cavalry and turned to using light cavalry for armed raids.
Yang Fan has enough heavy draft horses, and Yang Fan also has a four-wheeled heavy caravan.
On a better basis, Yang Fan rebuilt a heavy tank for this army.
The chassis of the car is made of I-beams and rivets.
The wheels use second-hand bearings from Hyundai and old rubber tires.
The armor plates use three millimeter corrugated steel plates.
Vehicle-mounted large rolls of wire mesh and portable removable angle steel brackets.
After parking, the exterior wall can be assembled with corrugated steel plates and assembleable angle steel brackets for defense.
In terms of weapons, the vehicle is equipped with a bronze cannon. The bronze cannon is a large artillery in the Ming Dynasty and has been used since the Jiajing period.
It weighs 500 kilograms and has a range of about 500 meters. The fired projectiles weigh four kilograms and are about a hundred shotgun shells. It can also fire five-pound spherical solid lead bullets.
Yang Fan's own troops used three-pound guns for long-range shooting.
Yang Fan's three-pounder gun was forged into a cylinder using open-hearth steel ingots, and then the bore was drilled out using a boring machine. It could withstand extremely high bore pressure and had a range of up to 700 meters.
It weighs less than 300 kilograms and can be pushed away by two infantrymen. It is currently the main field artillery of Yang Fan's infantry.
Other artillery pieces are too heavy to carry.
Melee weapon Yang Fan replaced the three-eyed blunderbuss with a nine-shot blunderbuss gun. Each person has one, which is used for close combat. Among the cold weapons, each person also has a Swiss halberd and a wild goose feather knife.
On the armor, each person has one collar, black cloth armor. Although it looks the same as the frontier army from the outside, the color is different. However, the inner armor pieces are stamped three-millimeter steel plate armor pieces. The defense power is
Far superior to iron plate armor.
This army was the army of the imperial court. It was not Yang Fan's private army. It was used by Yang Fan to prepare for the imperial court. Therefore, the equipment was similar to the imperial army on the surface, only more sophisticated.
