"Okay, brother Cong, it's time to start!" Because this is the first experiment, there is no need to consider accuracy or anything like that, as long as the range and damage range can be measured, so Zhu Qiji taught it simply, and the officers and soldiers of the Special First Battalion also learned quickly!
"Okay! All troops gather!"
After giving the order, tens of thousands of resting soldiers immediately found their positions and held their heads high in the biting cold wind. No one muttered in private, and no one made any small movements. The small snowflakes suddenly floated,
It’s more like a blessing from God to them!
Looking at this new army, Zhu Qiji couldn't help but feel extremely envious. If only I had such a well-trained army that could obey orders and prohibitions. Those little Liaodong Tatars are as honest as a tortoise? How dare they disturb me?
Border, kidnap my people and claim to be emperor? With such a powerful army as the backing, why should I support the Wei eunuch to fight with the Donglin scholars? Why should I be forced to hide in Luoyang? However, it doesn’t count now.
Wan. The commander-in-chief of this army is my brother Cong, the unique general who governs the country in the Ming Dynasty!
"Soldiers!" Zhu Youcong picked up the loudspeaker again, "What you are about to see are the new weapons that will be equipped in the future. I want you to keep in mind its power and how to use it, and also remember your guns.
The ones you always target with your mouth are the enemies, and the ones you protect are always the people of Ming Dynasty!"
"Defend our people! Promote the prestige of our country!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers once again burst out with shouts from their hearts, loudly declaring the oath they would abide by throughout their lives.
"The experiment begins!"
"boom--"
The first thing to test was the divisional mountain howitzer. As Zhu Youcong waved his arm hard, a ball of flames spit out from the muzzle, and a cloud of dust quickly rose up from the hillside at least ten miles away.
"Boom - boom -"
The small infantry cannons also roared one after another, causing dirt to fly and dust to fill the sky several miles away.
"Rapid shot!"
The officers and soldiers participating in the test were all busy, constantly loading, shooting, and ejecting shells. A series of explosions sounded, and in less than half a stick of incense, the empty shells piled next to several new cannons were already as high as a person.
The rising smoke and dust made it difficult to see the scenery more than a mile away.
"Stop! Check the artillery! Check the effect! Set up a wooden target one mile away!"
"Report to the general! The artillery is intact, no damage!"
"Report - the furthest shooting distance is seventeen miles, and the largest crater is twenty paces in radius!"
In less than half an hour, good news came one after another.
"Mom, we have to change it again!" Lu Xiangsheng lamented happily. The training plan he had made a few days ago was useless again.
"Just qualified!" Zhu Youcong nodded. The effect has basically met the design requirements. Now it can finally be finalized and produced. With the current production capacity of the institute, it will take about half a year to equip the entire army.
Sun Chengzong, who was staying aside, wanted to jump up and wake up this ungrateful little fat man. What does it mean to be qualified? Just right? Do you know that the most powerful Hongyi cannon in the army can barely reach about ten miles?
There is no way to compare the explosive bullets with this one of yours. It has a radius of twenty paces. If it falls among the enemies, who will be hit by it will know!
"Rifle team, come forward! Two magazines! Shoot!"
The new rifle tested this time was improved by Zhu Qiji on the basis of the original old slide. The position of the trigger connecting rod and the latch was optimized, and it was equipped with a magazine that can hold twelve rounds of bullets, which greatly improved the launch efficiency.
Speed. Because it was just developed and time was tight, only fifty were produced.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."
A sound like fried beans sounded, but before everyone could recover, it was over.
"Report, 1,200 rounds fired, two duds! The gun is intact!" The results were reported relatively quickly this time, after all, all you had to do was squat on the ground and count the bullet casings...
"It's okay!" The current production technology is still very backward, and the dud rate is already very low; besides, Zhu Youcong, the little fat man, is not stupid enough to ask the soldiers to fight the enemy alone. On the battlefield, tens of thousands of them
A volley of rifles can be tolerated even if dozens of them don't go off!
Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chengzong no longer had the energy to argue. Now, not only did the artillery training have to be changed, but the infantry training also had to be changed, and all the tactical arrangements had to be overhauled.
"Now test the last piece! Push it up!" Zhu Youcong obviously hasn't had enough of it yet.
What’s more? Lu Xiangsheng looked at Sun Chengzong in despair. Now we will squat in the army and don’t want to go anywhere. By the way, I’ll make a report and move my family over! Our lives are miserable, just look at this
What else can the little monster come up with!
The three wooden carts were pushed half a mile away. They were loaded with ten cylindrical objects about six feet long, with pointed heads and four thin iron pieces at the tail. Look at the craftsmen pushing the carts.
Dispersed, obviously this thing is for them to test personally. Yes, this is an improved version of the famous Baihuben - rocket launcher! It was also used for final testing, and the research institute only produced so much.
"ignition!"
This is not just a slogan. The two craftsmen took out the fire sticks and lit the long lead wires at the back, and then started running back. Before the electric detonator was broken out, this was the only way to use it.
"Hiss-swish-swish..."
As the fuses shortened little by little, thirty rockets flew away. It was difficult for everyone to see the final landing point with the naked eye. They only heard bursts of explosions, and dust seemed to be flying in the distance!
"Report to the general! The shooting distance is forty-five miles!"
It took more than an hour for the results to come back this time. The reason why the diameter of the crater was not reported is because the unlucky hillside has disappeared, and the land is thinner than a farmer plowing with a hoe. Crops will be planted next year.
Definitely higher!
"Only forty-five miles?" Zhu Youcong was a little disappointed this time. How could it be so close? Others in later generations used sugar and nitrate fertilizers to hit farther and more powerfully than I did! Forget it, I
I've tried my best, and I'll leave it to Old Man Sun and my cousin to improve slowly so they don't bother me all the time!
Lu Xiangsheng had been beaten to the point of losing his strength, otherwise he might have picked up a kitchen knife and chased this little fat man back to the palace! Damn it, we have been beaten forty-five miles, what else do you want? Is it possible?
Do you still want to hit Liaodong from Luoyang at once? He didn’t know that there was something called a missile in later generations. It’s really not difficult to hit Liaodong from Luoyang!
Sun Chengzong now finally understands what an army armed to the teeth means! The attack will start dozens of miles away. When the enemy is knocked upside down by the explosion and reacts to start charging, the second wave of attacks will be hit more than ten miles away. Good luck.
You can rush to about five miles, then congratulations! There are countless small cannons and mortars waiting for you here! Okay, you run fast, you have the blessings of the gods and you can withstand this third wave of
Destroy, but you will regret it; you will face a sky full of grenades, and the ultimate prize is specially prepared for you - a steel storm formed by tens of thousands of rifles!
It's boring, it's so boring! Sun Yuanhua, who had been doing statistics by the side, shook his head quietly, "How can we start such a battle in the future? If I were your opponent, I would just tie myself up and surrender with three kowtows in one step!"
I couldn't even see them face to face, so I went to meet the gods from all over the world in a daze like this. Isn't it unfair?
Zhu Qiji only felt his blood boiling in his chest! This is the weapon of my Ming Dynasty, this is the army of my Ming Dynasty! Wash your necks clean from the Tatars of Liaodong! And the Tatar barbarians, the Annan bandits, and the Japanese pirates from the East China Sea, all of you, give me a look
!The day this tiger and wolf warrior comes out of seclusion! It will be the end of you! Brother Jian, please be patient for a while, our brother Cong did not let us down! The moment he breaks out of his cocoon, it will be
When my Ming Dynasty is powerful and powerful all over the world!
"Have you seen them all?" Zhu Youcong asked loudly.
"The general is mighty!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers don't have so many ideas. They are not afraid of death, but they want to live to see a powerful Ming Dynasty! Now that the little general has prepared so much for them, they have more reason to be invincible and invincible.
!Any opponent standing in front of them will eventually be crushed into powder and melted into ashes!
"I announce! Starting next month, the entire army will gradually begin to change their equipment!" Zhu Youcong was very glad that he decided to send students to the institute from the beginning to learn the craft. Otherwise, even if the dozen new and old steam engines are running at full power, all the machine tools
There is no need to rest, and hundreds of craftsmen are busy working day and night. It is really impossible to change the entire army within half a year!
"Wonderful victory! Ten thousand victory! Ten thousand victory!"
