Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 85 Fire Gunners


"The 300,000 army is the limit that we can dispatch in Dorton, including 60,000 cavalry and 240,000 infantry, and we have to leave 100,000 to guard the northern border." Mariinsky also knew that since the other party had already Speaking to this point, it is already desperate to put all the eggs in one basket. Mariinsky also understands that everyone has no choice but to fight as hard as they can.

"Our Kingdom of Poole can dispatch 350,000 cavalry, 250,000 infantry, and we have to leave 100,000 people to defend the Roebuck tribe in Boyin. The most elite 50,000 cavalry guards are provided to the allied forces, and if they fail, they will be benevolent, and the outcome will be determined here!" Sezerif IX also showed his determination and fortitude as an army of a country at this time.

"Master Pokaninski, we Kamanians will never descend, with 400,000 people, you also know that we have to face the most powerful Doer tribe in Boyin, this is already our limit, hehe , to tell you the truth, this battle is really lost, and Datang can also drive straight into our capital without any obstacles. What about you Xisluo people?" Hua Xili's eyes were shining with blazing light, as if to melt the eyes get everything.

"Master Huaxili, please rest assured, since everyone is working so hard, we Heathrow people will naturally not be far behind! We will do our best to gather an army of 500,000 troops. We all know what this battle means, and if you lose, you will all perish. The Liberians have been prosperous for a hundred years after victory, and the Heathrows will not have descendants!" Pokaninski said proudly: "Let the people of Tang come to see the bravery and strength of our Liberians. We will use our invincible The armored cavalry of the subway trampled those Tang people into hell, and the Liberian soldiers will teach them a good lesson."

Just when Pokaninsky and his colleagues vowed to use the bravery and strength of the Liberian soldiers to defend the honor of the Liberian countries, a large training ground 30 miles outside the imperial capital was turned on. The sound of "bang bang bang bang" sounded continuously, and the whole training ground was filled with gunpowder smoke. The pungent smell of smoke made Wufeng almost suffocate. This smell is too choking. And looking at the performance of the soldiers, they are obviously used to this taste, and they don't even have any abnormal reactions.

The flagpole 300 meters away has been shaken, and the cavalry galloping forward reported the shooting results to the commanders. The small flag waved, and another two hundred soldiers marched forward in unison, holding them flat and kneeling As the commander waved the small flag, several levels of heralds shouted "Let go!", and there was another "bang bang bang bang" sound.

Although this smell is very unpleasant. However, Wufeng showed a keen interest in this new type of weapon drill that had already begun to equip troops on a small scale before actual combat, although the guards next to him asked His Majesty the Emperor to try to avoid this kind of testing ground full of uncertain factors. But Wufeng remains unmoved. He needs to observe the actual combat performance of this new weapon, including range, power, accuracy and control performance.

Wufeng is quite satisfied with the range from individual shooting to continuous shooting. It seems that the Privy Council has put some thought into the promotion of new weapons, although the Privy Council has only ordered 30,000 of these firecrackers in total. However, after receiving the first batch of goods, the Privy Council began to recruit recruits, conduct training directly, and strive to form effective combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

Wu Feng silently figured out what he had observed, that this kind of firecrackers in single row is obviously very fragile. The low defensive power determines that this kind of firecracker is similar to a crossbowman in nature. It is very risky to take the initiative to attack, but it is very valuable in defense, especially this kind of firecracker that fires metal projectiles within 250 meters. It can even easily pierce through fist-thick wooden boards. Even the armor of heavy cavalry within two hundred meters cannot resist the shooting of metal projectiles propelled by the explosive force of gunpowder. It is said that the biggest problem is the shooting accuracy, which is poor This problem has always plagued the designers of the Technology Development Department, but now it seems that they have found a solution to the problem of design accuracy.

The circular shooting of multiple rows of firecrackers is undoubtedly imitating the tactics of crossbowmen, but the powerful power of firecrackers has made the officials of the Privy Council realize that this kind of firecrackers that adopt multiple circular fires may become a heavy weapon The Terminator of the Overlord will fight in the Cavalry Plain area, although there are still many problems to be solved. For example, the quality of firecrackers, moisture problems, etc., but this has made everyone realize that this weapon may bring changes to the army battle.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Although it is not the first time to check the shooting results of the firecrackers, Ling Tianfang is very happy with the excellent performance of the firecrackers this time. The serial shooting was done in one go, and the skilled operation procedures of the soldiers also greatly improved the shooting efficiency of the firecrackers, which can also avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy.

"Very good, the progress is far beyond my expectation, let's be honest. Although I can't say it's perfect, but I'm quite satisfied." Wufeng didn't want to hide his joy, this Ling Tian put in these new things He was always able to take a step forward. If he seemed to be inferior to Bo Jinchen in the use of strategies and tactics, then his foresight and acumen in this regard far surpassed everyone in the army.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. This mainly depends on the resolution of a series of technical problems in the Science and Technology Development Department. Otherwise, Your Majesty will not be so optimistic when he sees this scene." Ling Tianfang is also not a greedy person. The establishment of this new army is entirely based on the continuous innovation of new technologies, otherwise it is still far from being used in actual combat.

"Well, I know this better than you, but although the new technology has been introduced, it is not an easy thing to form combat power. Tian Fang, you have done a good job in this area, and you are more active and more active than me. Sensitive." Wu Feng was a little emotional, "There is too much lack of visionary people like you in the empire. Many of our officials are still wallowing in old ideas, blindly clinging to old ideas, rejecting new affairs, thinking This old way can maintain the nobility and dignity of the Tang Dynasty, but the situation is just the opposite, the more you follow the old ways, the more you will be eliminated. No matter how much I emphasize this point, it will still be difficult to get a response."

Ling Tian could not intervene more in this regard. Some of His Majesty's overly radical policies have caused a backlash from some conservative forces in the empire. In particular, the introduction of a series of industrial and commercial regulations has aroused opposition from the conservative forces in the empire. Well, the "Beijing Times" run by Situ Yutang has faintly become a banner and a fortress for these conservative forces. They continue to express their views through this mouthpiece and criticize some policies of the empire, but it should be said that they still follow the law Within the regulations, this makes it difficult for the Imperial Press Prosecutor's Office to intervene too much.

Seeing that Ling Tian didn't answer for a long time, Wu Feng also realized that his words were a bit off topic, and he returned the topic with a self-deprecating smile: "Well, by the way, what are the problems or shortcomings of this firecracker now?"

"Well, the problem of range and lethality has been basically solved with the continuous improvement of the quality of the gun barrel and the quality of gunpowder. The biggest obstacle is the problem of accuracy. The rifling has solved this problem, not only has the accuracy been greatly improved, but also the range and power have also been improved a lot. This is the key to the real use of the firecrackers in actual combat. It is said that the latest firecrackers will be more lethal than Three hundred and fifty meters, within three hundred meters will have a terrifying lethality. If the rifling has not been invented, I am afraid that this kind of firecracker will be used for close combat at most, but now, I can proudly say, As long as the minister is given some more time, the gunfire soldiers will surely become the nightmare of the "proud heavy cavalry" of Liberia and the Maqihan people! "Ling Tianfang said confidently.

"Oh? So powerful?" Wufeng was also surprised. He didn't expect the rapid development of firecracker technology. The range of 200 meters is already quite impressive, although it is still a little short for cavalry charges~IndoMTL .com~ But it is enough for a skilled firecracker to fire a few rounds. I dare not say that I can achieve a perfect record, but Wufeng is already very satisfied, and now the new firecracker will have a shooting power of more than 300 meters, which is fully improved A hundred meters away, that will win a few more rounds of shooting opportunities for the musketeers, and undoubtedly double the chance of death for the cavalry, which will really become their nightmare. "What are the shortcomings of the fire gun?"

"The current disadvantage of firecrackers is still that the operation process is too complicated, and it is difficult to improve efficiency. Although we have strengthened the training intensity, such a few actions will take so long anyway, especially when used on the battlefield. In actual combat, I'm afraid the situation will be even worse, so this is why our Privy Council and the Science and Technology Development Department have been concentrating on research to find a way to simplify the procedure. Another fatal problem is the problem of damp gunpowder, not just the rainy day. The power is greatly reduced, even negligible. In the south, even some humid weather will greatly reduce the power of the firecracker, and even the phenomenon of the blunderbuss being destroyed. The minister also entrusted the technology development department to step up the development of this issue , strive to achieve a breakthrough." Ling Tianfang was a little reluctant to say these words, as if he was worried that this would damage the image of the fire gun.

"Then how many firecrackers you are familiar with just now?" Nodded slightly, this question is Wufeng's most concerned issue, how many firecrackers can be used in the upcoming battle with the Liberians On the battlefield where the war is fought, this is the core issue.
