"Wow!"

Everyone watched, and saw that after the thunder flew out of the bazooka, with a long tail flame and a terrible roar, it jumped more than a hundred steps, and if the meteor in the sky fell, it would fall to the land of its target.

Everyone had a feeling of palpitations, as if a different window had opened in front of them, which was a different feeling brought to them by the power of science.

Yang He watched the rocket fly, the initial velocity was about more than 100 meters per second, the speed was not very fast, but it was not slow, at least faster than the bow and arrow.

When the rocket flies, it keeps rotating under the action of the tail inclined spiral plate, maintaining a certain accuracy and stability. It is a pity that the pyrotechnic trajectory of the rocket is slightly skewed, not very straight, and may be affected by the wind direction. Fortunately, it won't fly back like a fire crow.

In the blink of an eye, the thunderbolt warhead hit the ground, and then it was stuck diagonally on the ground, and there was no movement.

Everyone opened their eyes, and Luo Xianjue said, "What's the matter, dumb?" ”

At this moment, there was a loud bang over there, the flames were as bright as fireworks, and a large cloud of gunpowder smoke rose up, carrying dirt and gravel or something, and swept in all directions.

Everyone shouted, and this thunder explosion was more fierce than 10,000 enemies.

Looking at it, it makes people feel excited.

Chang Rusong fired three shots in a row, and each time the thunderbolt jumped out of the barrel, it was radiant, like a meteor falling.

Everyone sighed, and Luo Xianjue said: "This flying thunder is good, but the accuracy is a little worse." Fight farther than 10,000 enemies, but not much, if only farther away. ”

Zhang Chujing said: "This flying thunder consumes a lot of iron and gunpowder, and the farthest is only more than 100 steps, and it is very inaccurate. If you want to be accurate, I'm afraid you have to put it in sixty or seventy steps, which is the 10,000-strong enemy of the far side. In terms of the power of the head, I am afraid it is not as good as artillery. ”

Zhang Songtao said: "Otherwise, 10,000 enemies are thrown, and you need to run in front of the enemy." However, this flying thunder can be launched far from the rear, and its own advantage is great, and the enemy and thieves cannot guard against it. ”

Zhang Zhugong said: "Flying thunder can deal with big targets, thieves form a military formation, or where the thief's military flag is located, you can make the flying thunder hand with the warrior assault, and shoot a few flying thunderbolts at them from afar, and the thief enemy will definitely suffer heavy losses, or even be defeated because of this." ”

Yang He listened to their remarks, and talked a lot about ideas, thinking that these subordinates had also been trained.

Indeed, rockets have many drawbacks, and later generations are known for their inaccurate accuracy, let alone the rockets of this era.

He studied rockets, which were used as grenades thrown farther away, especially against large groups of enemies. At this time, the military formation was dense, and a few flying thunderbolts were fired at their heads from a distance, and the killing radius of these flying thunders was ten to fifteen meters.

As for the flying thunder that was struck, it didn't matter if it was thrown accurately by 10,000 enemies, and it was not as good as the range was short, and it was greatly affected by the wind direction and wind speed.

Anyway, his main goal is to deal with most of the enemy, or when he is decapitated by surprise, a few rockets fall near the military flag, and obviously he will achieve good results.

For the time being, the Thunderbolt also aims with direct gaze, and will gradually use the jumping eye method in the future to increase the accuracy of the rocket.

Everyone discussed that there were pros and cons to this thunderbolt in general, but one thing was universally recognized, that is, the consumption of iron gunpowder was very large.

A flying thunder costs three catties of medicine, if a hundred rounds, a thousand rounds, is there so much gunpowder in the village?

Zhang Chuxun said that there is no need to worry about this, Zhuangzhong originally had 20 large pottery urns, which could produce 700 catties of high-purity nitrate a month, and has now increased fivefold to 100 large pottery urns, which can produce 3,500 catties of high-purity nitrate per month.

According to the proportion of nitrate, mixed with sulfur and charcoal, the monthly dispensing of black powder amounted to 4,700 catties.

This number is very staggering; in the case of gunpowder, each round of ammunition is now used for one dollar and five cents, and one pound of gunpowder can be used for more than 100,600 rounds of cartridge ammunition, and 4,700 catties can be used for 500,000 rounds of cartridge ammunition.

That's six million rounds a year.

Now the six hundred guns are simply not used up, and there are a lot of reserves in the treasury.

Even if some of this gunpowder is used for 10,000 enemies, flying thunder artillery, and so on, if 1,000 catties are taken out every month, it can be equipped with 24,000 10,000 enemies a year, or more than 3,600 flying thunders.

Enough for the time being.

If it is not enough, add a large pottery urn, there is saline-alkali land everywhere, and the nitrate resources are endless.

Everyone was relieved that it was good that they had a large amount of cheap and easy-to-use gunpowder.

For others, many people make purified gunpowder is still very primitive, such as the need for a large number of eggs, etc., the cost of a pound of gunpowder is almost one or two, like the use of gunpowder like the Xin'an Army, it must not be able to use.

……

Everyone was in high spirits, and after seeing so many new weapons, they all felt unsatisfied.

The last thing the crowd looked at was the armor.

The Quartermaster Institute brought some samples over, including the general's armor and the non-commissioned officer's armor.

The school armor is only used by captain-level officers, which is similar to the armor that Yang He originally wore, with a helmet weighing about 40 catties, with a large heart guard in front and back, a throat guard, a crotch guard, shin armor, etc., and the protection is very outstanding.

The quartermaster has tested all the tests, and for this kind of armor, even if the opponent uses a twelve-force bow and uses a special conical armor-piercing arrow, he must go within twenty paces to break the armor, and if it hits the heart guard, it will have no effect at all.

There are still very few enemies with a twelve-force bow, and if an enemy uses a ten-force bow, which is a one-stone strong bow, they must go within fifteen paces to break through the armor.

If the enemy uses the Eight Force Bow, which is a hundred-pound bow, they use armor-piercing arrows, and they must go within ten paces to break the armor.

If the enemy uses eight forces to go down, no distance will be useful against this armor, and the protection is very good.

There are several types of soldier armor.

The cold armor and gun armor of the ordinary corps, and the armor used by the sentinel team, the baggage team, the artillery team and others.

If a large amount of armor is equipped in the future, Yang He will not be organized according to the current pure team, but a mixed team formation, so that they can line up more quickly and cooperate more tacitly.

For example, a total of four teams, each team of five people, that is, according to the shield soldier armor, the sword without the sword and the spear soldier two armor, all in one team. There were forty shieldmen, eighty gunmen, and eighty spearmen.

With armor, there is no longer a large shield hand, but a square shield hand, so that their vision is broader.

They are equipped, the shield soldiers hold rattan cards, weigh about nine catties, the front looks rectangular, more than one meter high, less than one meter wide, there is a hemispherical iron cover in the middle of the rattan card, the two sides are inlaid with iron sheets, although the guns can not be separated, but the arrows and stones and guns and knives can be covered.

Their armor is inlaid with iron cotton armor, and the long body is covered with armor, the length is almost to the knee, and the armor style is bright. The nail piece is inlaid on the outside of the cyan cotton cloth, in the form of a large piece of armor, the corners are stacked on top of each other, only to the waist, and then there are heart guards on the front and back.

The shield soldiers have iron helmets and neck-guarding necks, but the armor on the throat side is not integrated with the neck, but is a separate throat guard.

The throat armor is lined with thick flannel, and the front looks like a large "V" shaped armor, which is considering that the opponent's archery skills are elite in the future, and the throat is softer, it is better to use this kind of curved, hard large armor piece.

In order to protect their faces, the shieldmen also wore curved iron masks on their iron helmets.

The iron mask is made of fine iron, and there is a thick silk velvet inside, and in case the mask is broken, the inner lining can play a role in protection.

The iron mask is covered all the way to the chin, and there is a slit in the eyes to act as a line of sight. Then the iron mask is inlaid on the right side, and there is a hard armor piece extending from the helmet here, and the iron mask is inlaid on this side, like a door and window hinge.

When using, cover from right to left, and the left side has a thick and small nail slot, and the iron mask is covered, and that end can be stuck inside. When not in use, the iron mask can be opened and lifted behind the right side of the helmet.

In this way, even if the opponent has excellent archery skills and fierce bows and arrows, Yang He also provides the greatest protection for the square shield soldiers in the first row under his command.

Then the shield soldiers also have arms, shin armor, and knee armor, which are basically protected in place.

The firecrackers and spearmen are basically the same, and they also have armor to protect their throats and iron masks to protect their faces.

Later, they fought, all in five rows in front and rear, and then the enemy came, the square shield soldiers squatted, two rows of gunned soldiers stood and shot, one row squatted down after fighting, and one row stood up, taking turns in front and rear.

The lower body is protected by the two sides, but in the face of the enemy's sharp bow and arrow, the protection of the face and throat is very important.

The same is true for spearmen, where the protection of the face is as important as the throat if the two sides are in hand-to-hand combat, at very close distances to each other.

But they don't have knee pads or shin armor.

The three are used in ordinary soldier armor, and the helmet weighs more than 30 pounds.

Their armor is concentrated in the upper body, especially at the chest thick, and even if the enemy uses a twelve-force bow, it will take twenty-five paces to pierce the armor. With the Ten Force Bow, you need to go up to 20 paces to break through your armor.

With the Eight Forces Bow, you must go within fifteen steps to penetrate the armor and cotton lining to hurt the flesh, and the protection is not bad.

Although the cotton armor under each person is not inlaid with armor leaves, only copper nails are nailed, but it is as thick as three layers, which can prevent projectiles from fifty steps away, and has outstanding protection.

……

This is an ordinary non-commissioned officer, and there are also baggage teams, grenadier teams, sentry teams and other types of troops in the army.

The baggage team was similar to the ordinary non-commissioned officer's armor, but it had no arms and hands, no throat armor, knee armor, shin armor, iron masks, and so on.

The grenadiers were even more cotton armor only up to the middle of the thigh, but with knee pads. They are dressed up, holding shields, carrying broadswords, carrying bags of 10,000 enemies, and entangled with fire ropes in their hands, fighting with 10,000 enemies at a distance, and slashing with broadswords when they are close, brave and invincible, heroic warriors.

The cavalry sentry team is a type of military that Yang He attaches more importance to at present, and because of the strength of the opponent's sentry in the future, it also needs sophisticated equipment.

They have large pieces of fine nails that go all the way to the middle of the thighs. There are knee pads that extend above the thighs. There are crotch armor, there are shin armor, there are specialized military boots. The soles are crusty and have teeth to walk on ice.

They have arms and hands, iron helmets, elbow armor, throat armor, front and rear heart guards, etc., and the whole appearance is crisp and neat, and there will be no sound of armor leaves when moving.

Their armor also weighed about thirty pounds, which was a must, and their opponents were soon Qing soldiers' horse armor and white armor, and there were countless people wearing two or three layers of armor. When the bullet is finished, what should I do if I have to fight hand-to-hand, the knife and gun have no eyes during the fight, and the armor must be thicker.

They have a variety of equipment, and they have to carry 10,000 enemies.

The Mandarin Duck Formation Ruibing team is also so armored, it turns out that among their team of twelve people, the captain uses a flag gun, the two captains use a round card, and also use a waist knife and a javelin. But Yang He now thinks about it, the captain carries a flag, a shield, a big sword, a bag of 10,000 enemies, and carries eight 10,000 enemies.

The same is true of the two round card players, Wu Chang, who also carries eight 10,000 enemies and carries a big sword, so that the battle is more powerful.

Finally, there is the commando, and in the future, Yang He will be used as a mountain-shaking army, and the existence of the camp will be very amazing.

A very thick armor, knee-length, front and back crotch armor, shin armor, arms and hands, iron mask throat armor, etc., the whole body armor weighs sixty or seventy pounds, step armor, iron Futu, refers to this kind of this.

They were covered in thick armor, armed with large axes, giant knives and heavy hammers, and they were as strong and stubborn as a wall.

In order to fight a tough battle in the future, this kind of heavy infantry is indispensable.

……

After watching the armor samples, Yang He ordered some officers and soldiers to put on armor for display, and Minister Yang was so excited that he also put on the general's armor himself.

Soon everyone was in armor, all of them were buckled at the back, red armor, with a crimson cloak, because it was summer, it was made of lighter felt material, and there was no wool collar. The length of the inner officer's cloak was to the calf, and the soldier's cloak was to the knee.

Seeing them change their clothes, their temperament changed in a blink of an eye, solemn, solemn, with cruelty and flying.

In the sunlight, their armor shone with a cold metallic light.

Yang He sighed, he looked at them one by one, especially when he saw the shield soldiers, fire guns, and spearmen, he saw that they were covered with iron masks under their iron helmets, and only a pair of eyes were exposed on their entire faces, which were faintly hidden under the brim of the iron helmets.

Underneath their iron masks were thick throat armor, and under the throat armor was thick armor, especially the heart guards on their chests, which were dazzling.

Their upper bodies are so tightly protected, and they are protected by thick shields underneath, such equipment, such opponents, it is really desperate.

Seeing them standing majestically, Yang He thought to himself, there is still a little less armor, if only all the armor under his command were there.

He couldn't help but fantasize about the scene of continuous iron armor and cold light of armor flashing on the horizon. A sea of dazzling red light, armor and weapons. The army array spread all over the mountains and fields, and the army in iron armor marched sonorously. They are large and orderly, and every step is a slaughter.

They marched, the cold wind could not stop them, the rain could not stop them, the snow could not stop them, no matter the scorching sun or darkness, only the sound of metal resounded over the earth.

There was a voice next to it, but there were two samples of the sentry armor, Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan volunteered to put them on, and they were playing in armor at this time.

Yang He looked at the second daughter, the sentry armor was gray, whether it was a helmet or a nail leaf, and the cloak was black, seeing that the second girl was wearing armor, it was neat and neat, and the large and fitting armor leaf protected them, Li Ruwan looked mighty, and Qian Sanniang was heroic.

She is tall and tall, but when she wears armor, she appears taller, and her lower body armor may only reach her thighs, and then she is set off by knee pads, crotch guards, shin armor, etc.

She and Li Ruwan laughed and laughed, and her powerful military boots stepped on the ground, as vigorous and powerful as a female leopard.

I saw Li Ruwan carrying an axe and said, "Aha, where did the little lady come from, how about going back with me to be a lady of the village?" ”

Qian Sanniang held a heavy sword and said: "Dare to tease me, I will kill you." ”

Probably sensing Yang He's gaze, Qian Sanniang glanced at Yang He quickly, and hurriedly turned her head back, her eyelashes trembled, and her cheeks were a little red.

Half-ringing, she couldn't help but turn her head and secretly glanced at Yang He, her eyes were happy and shy, just like flowing water.
