Release that Witch Chapter 81: Gunner training

Every day this training will last for two to three hours. After that, he will return to the city wall and continue to do his old business. The guys in the same dormitory have signed up for the firearms team, and now they are carrying the brand new firearms, standing behind them and showing off constantly. If it wasn't for disciplinary requirements, brawls would not be allowed, Van'er could not wait to sew his mouth up.

But he also saw something wrong.

How many days have the folks from the joining firearms team been training? Began to hone shooting skills in the battle with Evil Beast's, and the artillery team? Not even one shell was fired. And, then the heavy cannon, simply impossible transported to the city wall.

Looking at the top of the wall, two people standing side by side almost blocked the aisle. Usually, everyone is used to running on the **** on the inside of the wall. Even if it is steeper, it is better than preventing teammates from doing a spear. As for cannon ... the two wheels alone are wider than the top of the wall, plus shooting downwards, it doesn't feel practical.

Couldn't this thing be used against Evil Beast's?

The following exercises confirm the conjecture of Van'er.

Four artillery teams were taken to the river by Iron Axe. He found that I don't know when, there was a huge "boat" in Scarlet Water River! No ... he wasn't sure if it was a ship. The shell looked just like the stones that built the city walls. It was wide and short. Except for the two bare masts, where was the ship? The Van'er group is still arguing for this.

"This is clearly a floating bridge," the first to conclude is Jop. He has followed the mine-shipped sailboat to Longsong Stronghold, and often boasted that he was well-informed. "A few feet wide deck is obviously for stability! I ’ve seen more when I traveled south and north. If it ’s a boat, how can I move when there is no wind? The river was flooded in the past, and the wooden bridges in stronghold were washed out. People in the city use floating bridge. Instead, make a bunch of wide wooden boards nailed to the flat boat, and then pull up the cables to form a row, how to go and how stable! "

"The farthest place I've been to is Longsong Stronghold, and I've gone north and south," Rodney chuckled. "floating bridge requires two masts, for fear of being blown away by the wind?"

"And look at the tail end, isn't the steering wheel horizontal? floating bridge can't use this." Nelson said, the two brothers have always had a nostril, "In addition, how the wooden frame in the middle looks like It's about to build a shed, but it's not finished yet. This is a boat, no doubt.

Van'er is not very interested in whether it is a boat or not, he only cares about the next training content. The answer was soon revealed, and Iron Axe asked them to catch the horse-drawn carriage to H.M.S. Little Town --. That is the name of the ship, or His Highness the Prince himself. After listening to the introduction of Iron Axe, Jop suddenly became stiff, and the two brothers were proud of -- and then tied the cannon wheels to the reserved blocking rod.

There are two groups of such blocking rods, four in each group, located on the centerline of the deck, arranged one behind the other. Obviously two doors of cannon can be loaded at one time.

Well, Van'er thinks, it can be determined now that they are not dealing with Evil Beast. -- Scarlet Water River flows from north to south. There is no such spacious river in Hidden Forest.

When first stepping onto the deck, the Van'er immediately felt its outstanding stability. The river flowed along with the hull, and stone ship remained motionless, as if standing on the ground. Only when the horse is caught up will you feel a little sway.

He also noticed that every time a group of artillerymen completed a round of boarding and disembarking exercises, Iron Axe recorded the time. Linked to the blocking bar on the deck, it seems that only two groups of the four teams can come in handy. Van'er secretly told the news to the group members, and everyone immediately worked hard. Each step took ten percent of their energy. If you do n’t get kicked back to the Lances team, it ’s still a trivial matter to face it. It ’s a big deal to raise your salary!

On the seventh day, Van'er finally ushered in the long-awaited live-fire training.

On this day, His Highness the Prince also came to the scene to watch the artillery practice. All of the four groups held their chests high and walked vigorously.

Because everyone has been familiar with the ammunition set, the first shot was soon launched by the Van'er team.

This is also the first time he has witnessed the power of cannon. In the deafening roar, an iron ball twice the size of a fist fell in the snow outside a mile away, setting off a large amount of snow and mud, and bouncing forward and flying far away. And his naked eye could not catch the Orbit by the iron ball.

This makes Van'er a little bit scared when it's excited. How did His Highness the Prince create such terrible weapon? If you face a cannon attack yourself, even if you have a full body armor package, I am afraid it will not help.

After each group fires a round, His Highness the Prince will ask a person to insert a flag at the first landing point of the shell and intercept a twine from the flag to the muzzle position. After four rounds, when it was the Van'er group again, he heard the command to change the muzzle firing angle.

There is a scale with a scale engraved on the part where the gun barrel is connected to the turret at both ends. It is marked with five scales of 0, 5, 10, 25, and 30. Although I do n’t quite understand what this means, I follow the instructions. Operation is just fine. Iron Axe shouted: "Five shooting angles!" The Jop with the strongest force immediately pressed the gun brush rod under the gun chamber, prying the cannon from the rear end, and Van'er twisted the screw on the gun frame until the first white engraved line. Submerged into the hole, Jop released the gun brush.

The rear end of the gun barrel is backward, slightly shorter than the initial position, and the muzzle is lifted up, indicating that the scale falls exactly on the figure 5.

Four rounds of shooting, flagpole insertion, rope interception, and shooting angle adjustment.

Van'er gradually understood what His Highness the Prince did.

He is collecting the distance shot by each iron ball, and the larger the muzzle rise angle, the farther the iron ball falls to the ground.

Van'er has a deep understanding when using a bow. When you shoot upwards, the arrow can shoot far. If you shoot flat, you will soon land. I did not expect cannon to be the same, but because of its fast speed, the flight distance was much longer. He couldn't help but wonder, if the iron ball was fast enough, would it never land?

*******************

Scarlet Water River side, H.M.S. Little Town sea trials are also in full swing.

Considering that to use Wendy as power, the people on board must be absolutely reliable. So Roland selected a group of politically strong hands as the first crew of H.M.S. Little Town. The captain also serves as the commander Chief Knight Carter, the helmsman is Brian, the sails and the sails are in charge of attendants under Carter, and the messenger is Tigu Pine. These people often come into contact with witch, and with their silent thought reform, they have no prejudice against witch. Tigu is love house and black, spreading their love for their daughters to the entire witch group.
