Chapter 1337: Young Marksman
Subsequently, the artillery of both sides launched a terrifying shelling of each other. But what made Marin extremely depressed was that his previous plan to quickly clear the opponent's artillery had failed......
The remaining artillery of the enemy, as soon as they saw that the artillery of the Beihai State was asking for goods, directly lay on the ground to hide. And the artillery bombardment of the Beihai State is a flat fire, as long as the artillery of the coalition forces in front of the formation lies down to dodge, then the cement ball shells of the Beihai Country will fly over their heads with a roar. Although it will take the lives of many enemy soldiers, it will only hit the unlucky Beihai infantry behind, but it is difficult to hurt the coalition artillery lying on the ground.
What made Marin even more depressed was that because the opponent used a rear-mounted Fran cannon, those enemy gunners could also strengthen their courage while lying on the ground. After all, the Furlong cannon was small, like a large steel goblet. The opposing gunners could dodge the cannonballs on their stomachs while filling the glass-shaped guns with gunpowder and stone projectiles......
In this way, Marin's plan to use artillery to clear out the artillery on the opposite side first actually fell through. What made him even more depressed was that because the three-pounder guns of the North Sea Kingdom were front-loading guns, the artillery had to be loaded standing up. When the enemy artillery fired, those artillery were difficult to dodge......
Fortunately, the artillery on the opposite side was fired at a small angle, not flat. Otherwise, the artillery of the Beihai State failed to clean up the opponent's artillery, but would have been wiped out by the opponent's artillery......
"No, this passive situation must be changed!" Marin, who was standing on the high platform behind the formation and observing the battle situation with a telescope, was very anxious. If he continues to shoot like this, I am afraid that his artillery will die first......
At this time, his eyes suddenly fell on a group of young men with childish faces on the side......
This group of teenagers is very special, although they are not very old, but each of them carries a big killing weapon......
……
So, what is the big killing weapon in the hands of this group of teenagers? That's it - a steel-core one-headed bomb!
The steel-core single-headed bullet is a special bullet made by Ma Lin before he went to Daming two years ago, which is to engrave a rifling line at the top of the lead bullet. After the bullet is discharged, because the male-rifling wire at the top acts as a wind grille, under the resistance of the oncoming wind, it rotates up to achieve the flight state of rifled gun bullet rotating forward. In this way, the trajectory is much more stable. Although it is not as long as the conical warhead of the rifled gun, it can also reach an effective range of 200 meters.
Moreover, in order to improve the armor-piercing ability, and to prevent the iron bar from piercing the male-rifling line on the top of the lead bullet during reloading, Marlin also added a steel nail to the single-headed bullet as a center shaft. In this way, when loading, the iron strip will not be able to poke the elevated wire at the top of the lead bullet, and only the steel nail will be stabbed. And the sharp nail head of the steel nail can also strengthen the ability to break through armor and attack fortifications. If you shoot within 50 meters, this steel-core single-headed bullet can easily penetrate ordinary plate armor, and the power is terrifying.
Originally, after developing this powerful steel-core single-headed bomb, Marin feared that this mass killing weapon would fall into the hands of ill-intentioned people and be used to assassinate himself. So, he did not equip ordinary soldiers, even reliable veterans.
In the end, Marin came up with a way - from the group of elementary school graduates at that time, select a group of elementary school scumbags who have been brainwashed all year round and are extremely loyal to Marin, as the users of this new type of bullet......
And Marin's original selection criteria also made people speechless - that is, they were excited to see his portrait, and they were so excited to cry when they saw him in real person......
Such a person is basically a brainless fan of Marin, and loyalty must be no problem. Moreover, as a scumbag, his brain is already simple. Unlike those top students, who have too many ideas, it is difficult to control. Therefore, in ancient times, there was a saying that "every righteous person slaughters dogs, and most of them are readers". The dog slaughterer is simple-minded, and he will be loyal if he teaches him loyalty. And the reader is not so easy to fool, you make him loyal, he is like this on the surface, and he doesn't know what to think in his heart. And Qi Jiguang chose soldiers, and he also chose those simple-minded farmers, rather than well-informed city people. Because, a simple-minded farmer, if you let him charge, he will honestly rush and kill. And the well-informed city man, if you call him Chong, he may retreat......
Therefore, Marin still trusts these elementary school scum who are brainless by themselves. I was away from home for two years, and these elementary school scum practiced shooting every day. After he came back, these elementary school scum were all so excited that they burst into tears, and they all moved Marin to tears......
No, this will be a battle, and Marin brought this group of elementary school scum with him. However, he did not want these fifteen or sixteen-year-old children to participate in the war at first, but intended to let them feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. After all, they are still young, and they have a long way to go. Therefore, this group of loyal elementary school scums, Marin did not arrange them to the front row, but followed him, standing in the back row to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield.
But unexpectedly, because the artillery operation was unfavorable, it was difficult for Marin to kill the opponent's artillery. In this way, this group of elementary school scum who can accurately hit the target has a place to use......
So, Marin commanded:
"Hank, get out of the ranks!"
Hank is the leader of this group of elementary school scum, the most loyal elementary school scum to Marin, and he trembles with excitement when he sees Marin. Hearing Marin call himself, Hank, who was only 16 years old, immediately stood up and shouted:
"Here!"
Marin was very satisfied when he saw Hank, who was in good spirits. But he deliberately asked:
"Tell me, Hank, are you 'teenage marksmans' scared?"
"Don't be afraid! Willing to die for the Grand Duke! Hank yelled, looking up at his chest.
"Willing to die for the Grand Duke!" Hank's 99 friends also shouted excitedly!
Marin nodded with satisfaction and said:
"I don't need you to die, I want you to live well to fight for me. Now, brave boys, I have an honorable mission for you......" Marin suddenly turned into an NPC in the game and turned on the mission release mode. However, unlike those quest NPCs who reward money and equipment, the stingy Marlin will not reward experience, but will only give a few compliments......
When they heard that Marin would award them the medal of "Young Warrior" after completing the mission, the 100 loyal elementary school scum were all excited. But how did they know that the so-called "Young Warrior" medal, there is no such thing at all, it was simply Marin who came up with it to fool these elementary school scum on the spot...... Of course, after the war, Marin will definitely compile a "Young Warrior" medal, after all, he can't lose his trust......
In this way, the 100 loyal elementary school scum who were so fooled by Marin that they couldn't find the north, each carrying a delicate little box on their backs, moved forward from the crowd and came to the side of the artillery position......
Their task is to kill the opponent's artillery......
At this time, the artillery of the Chinese troops on both sides was facing each other, and the distance was about 120 meters, which was a little farther than the musketeers who fired at each other on the flanks. But this distance is the distance that the "young marksmen" are good at. Don't look at other musketeers, but they have a steel-core single-headed bullet that can aim at a distance of 200 meters, and it can completely kill the opponent's artillery......
……
After another round of shelling by the North Sea Army, the artillerymen were busy cooling the barrels and cleaning the chambers. On the opposite side, the surviving gunners of the coalition forces took the opportunity to stand up and began to load the sub-guns of the Furlong cannon and prepare to shoot......
And these hapless coalition artillerymen did not know that there were 100 young sharpshooters diagonally opposite, who had already aimed their muskets at them......
Of course, these coalition gunners saw a bunch of children aiming at them, but they were not nervous at all. Because, the distance between them and those elementary school scum is about 120 meters in a straight line, and the diagonal distance is more than 150 meters. Such a distance...... In the thinking of those coalition artillerymen, it is - you aim casually, and Lao Tzu will let you shoot......
"Put!" With Hank's roar, the 100 teenagers calmly pulled the trigger......
In an instant, 100 clockwork muskets erupted in flames. And 100 steel-core single-headed bullets also flew out of the barrel and flew straight forward, heading straight for the enemy's artillery position......
During the flight, the cork butt, which had been moving, fell off due to air resistance. The steel-core single-headed projectile in the front, after being resisted by the wind, began to slowly rotate forward. Although the rotation speed cannot catch up with the rifled gun bullet, the flight trajectory is relatively stable. At the very least, it is stable within 200 meters......
And the artillery crews of the coalition forces on the opposite side are still giggling and reloading, ready to open fire. They don't know - death has come......
