On 15 September, Li Zhi stood on a shooting range south of Fanjiazhuang, operating a "strange" new weapon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Xing, who returned to Fanjiazhuang to transfer troops, had never seen such a weapon.

This weapon consisted of sixteen rocket launchers. The sixteen canisters were divided into two rows, eight each. The canister contained sixteen rockets. The fuse of the rocket peeks out of the hole in the tail of the canister. All you need to do is hold a torch and you can set fire all 16 rockets one by one.

Unlike the shoulder-fired bazookas, which weigh more than a dozen kilograms, the rockets in this new weapon have a larger caliber and longer length. Li Xing felt that the weight of this new bazooka was at least 40 kilograms, and the power was probably even more amazing.

The warhead of this kind of rocket is more than 40 meters close, and Li Xing has never seen the power of 40 catties of nitrocellulose gunpowder explosion.

It must have been very powerful.

The bazooka launcher is tilted upwards, and the angle of inclination is controlled by a rotating lever. The angle between the rocket launcher and the bottom platform is topped by a nameplate on which different distances are marked at different angles. For example, if you rise up about 15 degrees now, it's just a kilometer above the nameplate.

Underneath the dense bazooka are four wheels, which turn the entire launcher into a car that can move quickly. Behind the wheels are iron rods that hold the vehicle in place, which can stabilize the vehicle during rocket fire and prevent the entire vehicle from moving backwards.

Li Zhi gave this weapon a very loud name, called the "Hell" rocket car.

Li Xing looked at the rocket car again and said, "Big brother, how can this rocket car feel murderous, there is so much gunpowder hanging on it, it is really terrifying." ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Hell car, naturally, is not an ordinary thing. ”

Li Zhi stood next to the rocket car and instructed the "rocket car crew" to make a final inspection of this weapon.

Soon, the inspection was over. Li Zhi clapped his hands and asked the rocketeers to start shooting at targets eight hundred meters away.

The rocket soldier aimed at the target 800 meters away from the scope on the rocket launcher and adjusted the horizontal angle of the rocket vehicle. Then he took out the range-measuring tools commonly used by the artillerymen and carried out a simple ranging of the target. Finally, the rocketeers began to turn the joystick next to the launcher, adjusting the elevation angle of the rocket launcher to a position of 800 meters.

After completing a series of maneuvers, the Rocketeer ignited the rocket fuse on the rear of the rocket car.

The rockets were ignited one after the other, so they were fired one after the other. Only a loud jet was heard, and huge flames and shock waves continued to emerge from the tail of the rocket car. The shockwave sent sand and rocks flying behind the launcher, and all the debris and dirt on the ground were sprayed into the air.

Sixteen rockets shot out one by one like sixteen bolts of lightning. The rocket made a dozen beautiful arcs in the air, and finally landed 800 meters away.

In order to save gunpowder, the training bombs did not have a combat department and would not explode. All sixteen rockets were plunged into the dirt and scattered dozens of meters of the target area.

Li Zhi led everyone to the target area to observe the landing point of the rocket.

Li Xing looked left and right near the target area, frowned and said, "Big brother, this rocket is a bit off." One in the east and one in the west, at least 40 meters away from the target. Look at that one, it all fell more than 60 or 70 meters away from the target area. I'm afraid it's a waste of ammunition. ”

After a pause, Li Xing touched his chin and said, "But there is no way, the rocket will definitely be very biased at such a distance." ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I'll blow one up for you." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand, and everyone retreated. The rocketeers loaded a normal projectile on the rocket car and fired at the target area again.

The ordinary bullet flew with a scream and plunged headlong into the dirt. After three seconds of silence in the dirt, the rocket exploded with a loud blast, sending out a huge shock wave.

The iron debris in the rocket rushed out with a huge shock wave, setting off a storm of flames within twenty meters. In the end, all the shock waves and flames turned into a large fireball more than twenty meters long, emitting a dazzling light, which blinded Li Xing, who was holding a telescope to observe.

By the time the fireball turned into black smoke and drifted into the sky, the ground was scorched black, leaving a shallow crater more than ten centimeters deep.

Li Xing was shocked by the power of this heavy rocket, rubbed his eyes and was speechless.

"This heavy rocket is more powerful. Even if the landing point is not accurate, sixteen shots can blow up the target area with a length and width of dozens of meters into a sea of fire. Of course, such bombing may not be able to destroy all the targets in the target area, and perhaps half of the targets will not be hit. ”

"But this weapon is designed to deal with a dense cluster of enemies. In the face of such a violent explosive force, the lethal effect must be extremely great. Accuracy is not so much of a problem. ”

Li Xing rubbed his eyes vigorously, nodded and said, "This new weapon is powerful!" Big Brother is mighty! ”

In Kaifeng City, Li Zicheng sat on the throne of the second hall of the Zhou Palace, and took a heavy breath.

The military generals under Li Zicheng's tent sat on the chairs at the bottom. These people are all from the bottom of society, and they sit up and stagger. Some put one foot on the chair, and some simply squat on the chair. Only Li Guo and Niu Jinxing, two civil officials, sat upright, which can be regarded as a bit of a sitting appearance.

However, everyone's faces were gloomy, and they seemed to be under pressure.

This pressure undoubtedly comes from Li Zhi. A few days ago, Li Zicheng arranged a whistle in Tianjin to deliver news that Li Zhi had completely defeated the North Koreans. Today, North Korea has become a province under Yi Zhi.

In this way, the situation of the three sides of the Korean, the Chuang army and the Jiangbei army besieging Li Zhi has become a situation in which the Chuang army and the Jiangbei army face Li Zhi's soldiers and horses alone.

What's even more terrifying is that with the development of the war, Li Zhi's 40,000 recruits have been training for half a year. In this way, Li Zhi's recruits also have considerable combat effectiveness. In other words, Li Zhi, who used less than 50,000 troops to entangle the thieves and the Jiangbei Army in the past few months, can now at least transfer 70,000 or 80,000 troops to the south.

Such a situation made Li Zicheng feel that a catastrophe was coming.

Li Zicheng is very afraid of Li Zhi.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng conquered Luoyang and besieged Kaifeng with the prestige of killing King Fu. As a result, in Kaifeng, Li Zicheng met Li Zhi, who had just finished killing Zhang Xianzhong, and was defeated by Li Zhi at once. In that battle, Li Zhi fought extremely lightly, and Li Zicheng's more than 30,000 soldiers and horses collapsed without even touching the corners of the clothes of the Tiger Army.

Now Li Zhi's soldiers and horses are stronger, and Li Zicheng has a feeling of powerlessness against Li Zhi.
