Chapter 125: Cannon Roar
In addition, what Ying Zheng didn't expect was that the Arms Bureau could produce three types of artillery so quickly.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the difficulty of creating the first artillery of the three types is the greatest.
They have undergone a miraculous change from nothing to something.
"Zhongda, this time your Arms Bureau is fast enough!" King Qin said with appreciation.
Sima Yi arched his hand: "This is also thanks to the Moke talents that Your Majesty has added to the Arms Bureau, without them, it would be impossible to manufacture these three types of artillery so quickly!"
What he said was the truth.
King Qin added 300 outstanding graduates of the Arms Department, including the champion of the Arms Department, to the Arms Bureau, which made the Arms Bureau so efficient.
Ying Zheng heard this and nodded.
It seems that in the future, it is necessary to cultivate more Moke talents and develop various technologies in Daqin.
......
A few hours later.
Outside the city of Xianyang, in a valley.
King Yingzheng of Qin, Prime Minister of the Left and Right Sides, Tai Lieutenant, General Shang, General Shenwei, Duke Qi and Wang Gong stood in a clearing in the valley.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the three metal bumps in front of them.
They resemble three sleeping beasts, and once they wake up and show their fangs, they will be terrifying!
These are the Tiger Squat Cannons, the Furlong Cannons, and the Red Cannons.
Tiger Squat Cannon.
The head and tail are 2 feet long, with 7 iron hoops around the body, weighing 36 pounds, and the gun head is erected by two iron claws, and there are iron stumbling.
It looks like a tiger is full of wind, like a fierce tiger lying there, so it is named Tiger Squatting Cannon.
This cannon was invented in the Ming Dynasty of China, equipped with Qi Jiguang's Qi family army, and played a major role in the process of fighting against the Japanese invaders.
Bombarding the Japanese battle formation, effectively suppressing their frantic offensive.
When the tiger squat cannon is fired, the large and small bullets fly together, the roar is like thunder, the lethality and radiation range are very large, and the weight is light, especially suitable for field combat.
Tiger Squat Cannon
Under the watchful eyes of King Qin and others, the Moke champion personally loaded the special shells for the Tiger Squat Cannon into the barrel and ignited the cannon.
Blazing flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and shells flew out.
Boom ——!
With a deafening roar, the shell hit the target at a distance of 500 meters.
There stood dozens of costumed wooden dummies.
King Qin took Bai Qi, Xue Rengui and others to check, and found that all the wooden dummies' clothes had been blown up, and small lead bullets were embedded in the wood for several inches.
If it is replaced by a real person or a war horse, I am afraid that the sieve has been opened and the blood is flowing like an infusion.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked by the power of this tiger squat cannon.
"Your Majesty, I'll show you the power of the Franco cannon!" Moko Champion Road.
Ying Zheng nodded, and returned to the launch site with Bai Qi, Xue Rengui and others, staring at the other artillery.
Furlong cannon.
It is composed of a female gun and 9 child guns, with a total weight of about 300 catties.
The female body is slender and has a small caliber, and the body is equipped with a front sight and a light door, which can aim and shoot at long-distance targets.
There are gun lugs on both sides of the gun body, which can be placed on the bracket and can be tilted to adjust the firing angle.
The rear part of the gun is thicker, and there are long holes and grooves to fill the guns.
The sub-guns are similar to the small firearms, each mother has 5 to 9 children, which can be pre-loaded with ammunition for later use, and the mother guns can be loaded and fired in turn during battle, thus increasing the firing speed.
A series of nine roars rang out, and the Fran cannon fired the ammunition from the nine guns in turn.
The same destructive power is enormous.
After Ying Zheng, Bai Qi, Xue Rengui and others saw it, their eyes were full of brilliance.
They have seen the difference between the advantages and disadvantages of the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong Cannon.
Knowing the power of a single cannon, the Tiger Squat Cannon is stronger than the Furlong Cannon, and the weight is lighter, and it is more convenient to move, which is the advantage of the Tiger Squat Cannon.
However, the Tiger Squat Cannon fires slowly, and if the nine cannons are fired sequentially, the power of the Furlong cannon will exceed that of the Tiger Squat Cannon, and the weight will be much heavier than that of the Tiger Squat Cannon.
These two types of artillery have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the specific situation, choose which artillery to use to attack the enemy.
After demonstrating the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Franc Cannon, the Moko champion walked to the last large artillery.
This cannon is a red-coated cannon, weighing two thousand catties.
The barrel of the red-coat cannon is long, the wall is thick, the caliber is large, and the overall shape is gradually thickened from the muzzle to the tail, which conforms to the principle of bore pressure from high to low when gunpowder is burning.
There are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, which can be used as an axis to adjust the firing angle and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder.
It is equipped with a crosshair and a light gate, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, which is very accurate.
As the Moko champion lit the fuse, an earth-shattering roar sounded, and a huge cannonball shot out violently, exploding thousands of kilometers away, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains, billowing smoke and dust, and blazing into the sky.
Its destructive power and range far exceed that of the Francophone cannon and the Tiger Squat cannon.
This is the advantage of the Red Cannon.
However, its disadvantages are that it is too bulky, inconvenient to transport, unresponsive, etc.
Ying Zheng, Bai Qi and others were taken aback by the power of the red-clothed cannon.
The tiger squat cannon and the Franco cannon just now couldn't hurt these gods and demons, but if they were hit by the red-clothed cannon, even the gods and demons would be seriously injured.
"Okay, with such a national weapon, our Qin army can take advantage of it, whether it is attacking the city or defending, and the enemy army will cry and shout!" Admiral Bai Qi praised.
Shenwei General Xue Rengui clenched his fists: "With these artillery, even if the Hun cavalry army is equipped with the Three Treasures of the Horse, we can send it to the Western Heavens!"
"Great, the red-clothed cannon, the Franco machine gun, and the tiger squat cannon should be called the important weapons of the country, and they will make great contributions to the unification of the gods and desolations of Great Qin!"
"With this sharp weapon, plus the general, General Shenwei and other famous generals in the world, why worry about the east corner!"
“......”
The three veterans, Meng Hu, Wang Di, and Qi Gong, were also enthusiastic and excited.
Ying Zheng nodded, looked at the top of Moke and the other outstanding graduates of Moke, and said, "You have done a good job, you have worked hard!"
"It is our duty to forge sharp weapons for the country and share worries for Your Majesty!" The champion of the Moke family is neither humble nor arrogant.
Ying Zheng said approvingly: "Well said, Daqin needs ingenious talents like you." I hope you will continue to work hard to create more and better artillery, not limited to books, but bold and innovative!"
"No!" The outstanding graduates of the Moke Branch knelt down on one knee under the leadership of the Moke champion.
With His Majesty's words, they are even more motivated.
Although there are all kinds of firearms in the books brought by the right minister, these excellent craftsmen who graduated from the Moke Department did not stop there, and still wanted to improve, optimize, and innovate the firearms in the books.
Of course, it takes time, a lot of effort, and money.
"Get up!".
Ying Zheng looked at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, the task assigned last time, you have to lead the Arms Bureau to complete it with quality and quantity. In addition, if the Arms Agency needs something, you will withdraw it from the treasury!"
King Qin wants to create a large number of divine machine battalions equipped with artillery and other firearms as soon as possible, shocking the world!
