223 The people of the Moon clan are guilty

In the state of Zhao, the cavalry of the Zhao army was finally able to achieve a series of combat mission requirements after arduous training. Li Mu immediately ordered the Zhao army to maneuver in the direction of Fangcheng.

The number of cavalry that could be used this time amounted to 5,000, of which only 2,000 were issued with iron and bronze stirrups, and the rest were all used, with hemp rope, hemp belts, and leather as stirrups. This is a capable force that Zhao Jun hastily cobbled together. In the battle against Yan, it will play a key role.

However, the Yan State was pouring Qin artillery on a large scale. And he cleverly poured a large number of large-caliber iron artillery. Ju Xin also thought that the people of Qin were stupid and took good copper to make artillery. As everyone knows, this move will bring great disasters to Yan State's war against Zhao State. Moreover, the pouring method of Yan State is not the inverted pouring of Qin State, but the horizontal pouring. This added to the weight of the gun, and at the same time, a large number of bubbles were created when pouring. And the craftsmen think this is normal.

Ju Xin didn't know what was going on with this technology, so he sent a large number of poured artillery pieces directly to the Yan army in Julu City, and the propellant was just ordered from Qin State, and it was directly sent to Julu City before it was checked.

Considering that he was able to pour a large number of artillery, Yan Guo sent an order to Qin this time. Only artillery propellants, muskets, bullets, etc. were ordered in the order, and artillery was not ordered.

Both sides are planning to deliver a fatal blow to the other. The Qin side also began to deliver the first batch of weapons to the Qi State, which mainly included ten two-inch guns, ten three-inch guns, two hundred muskets, and a large number of cannonballs, propellants, bullets, etc. Since Qi Guo did not have any special instructions, the types of shells exported this time were very simple, and they were still solid shells.

After Qi received a batch of munitions, Guo Kai of Zhao State hurriedly sent a large amount of money to the rear of the envoys of Qi State, and then took ten two-inch guns, three three-inch guns, and fifty muskets from Qi State.

Shang Wen has long known about this kind of private practice between Zhao and Qi, and it can be seen from the number of orders that it is impossible for Qi to be able to open such a large amount of money, and more than half of them are Zhao's. Moreover, Zhao is particularly in demand. Because they have war needs. On the contrary, it is impossible for Qi State. Because Qi is recuperating and trying their best to avoid war, but what they don't know is that when the war is fought, everyone will understand what is going on. I'm afraid that Qi Guo is going to be involved.

"Are the clothes I want to order ready?" Shangwen asked.

"Yes. It's done. A weaver took a wooden box and handed it to Shang Wen and said.

"That's all?" Shangwen asked. Shang Wen himself can remember clearly that he sent a lot of headache drawings. There are more drawings than the clothes in this box.

"It's not just these, there are a lot of that, Director Ying'er said that it won't be ready until the afternoon." The weaver said.

"Oh. When you're done, send it to my room. Shang Wen said.

"Whoa." The weaver agreed.

"Later, yes." Shang Wen emphasized. Shang Wen was a little unaccustomed to this kind of answer.

"Yes." The weaver replied.

Shang Wen is going to go to the artillery workshop to take a turn. After trial and error, the four-inch ten-caliber cannon was finally decided to be used as a horse cannon for cavalry. This horse cannon weight can be pulled by two horses. It doesn't take long from unloading to launching, and it's able to hit and run. This is very much in line with the operational specificity of the cavalry. In addition, most importantly, the gun carriage was all made of iron, and in order to reduce weight, iron pipes were used in some places. If you calculate the cost, it is already more than the five-inch artillery used by the infantry.

As for the power that the artillery can achieve, at an angle of five degrees, it can hit 1,200 steps, and at an angle of ten degrees, it can reach 1,700 steps. The range is much lower than that of infantry artillery, and the power is not known. This kind of experiment can't be tested.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency. I want to apply for a patent. Shang Wen was checking the artillery data when he was suddenly startled by a voice.

"Oh. Something. Shang Wen stabilized his mind.

"Little Zhang Da. Apply for a patent for this bullet. As he spoke, the middle-aged man named Zhang Da took out two kinds of bullets.

Shang Wen took the bullet and looked at it carefully.

The first is a bullet included in grease paper, which has a relatively large caliber. The second type is a mini bullet, the difference is that in the rounded warhead of the bullet, a piece is concave.

"It's hollow bombs." Shang Wen handed over the name of the second bullet at once.

"Adults know about this bullet." Zhang Da asked in a low voice.

"This bullet, how do you say that." Shang Wen hesitated a little. This hollow bullet is just as notorious as the dummy bomb. The lethality caused is more terrifying than ordinary bullets, the bullet enters from the front, maybe it is just a small hole, and there is no difference from ordinary bullets, but the difference is in his penetrating ability, and the damage to the inside of the human body after entering is far greater than that of ordinary bullets.

"Please make it clear." Zhang Da said respectfully.

"You can see the results of this kind of bullet." Shang Wen really couldn't explain this guy, and Shang Wen was still thinking about whether to stop using this kind of bullet that could be specified with one shot. After all, it's somewhat immoral. After such a bullet is fired, it is not dead but also seriously injured. Considering that the object of the battle now is the Yueshi people. Shang Wen felt that those Yue people were quite pitiful. Die and die. And to die from this terrible bullet.

"What kind of bullet is this?" Shang Wen said with another bullet.

"This is a shotshot, and the small one came up with by looking at the shotshots fired by adults." Zhang Da said.

Oh my God, this bullet is even more terrifying than the one just now, the scattered bullets shoot out a barrage of bullets, and they shoot indiscriminately. The Musketeers will soon become Shotguns. There is no difference between a musket and a shotgun equipped with such a bullet. When the musketeers shoot, they hunt the Tsukishi like rabbits. War will turn into a one-sided hunt. The difference is that the prey is the Yueshi people.

"Okay. Both of these bullets can be produced in large quantities. You go back to Master Meng Yi to fill out the patent application form. Shang Wen said helplessly. Faced with the needs of the war, Shangwen could only mass-produce this bullet. Although somewhat immoral. But the demand for this bullet is far greater than that of other bullets. When close to melee. In order to distinguish the enemy. Such high-destruction bullets are often what soldiers need most. They don't want to see the onrushing enemies just wounded, and they're still wielding their machetes, they want to shoot you off your horse with a single shot. Something that kills you with the last shot.

All right. Yueshi people, you are so pitiful. Shang Wen made up his mind in his heart.
