Chapter 310: Artillery!
Chengshan Military Port in Weihai County, two years ago, it was a barren place, but now, it is a prosperous area, according to the military villages on both sides of the port has already developed into a small town, with more than 100,000 residents, and there are also some of the most important factories of the Han army today. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On this day, Liu Chen and Wu Yong came to this emerging town, and Liu Chen always had a look of expectation on his face.
"King Han, what the arsenal has developed is really so amazing?" Looking at Liu Chen's expression, Wu asked curiously.
Hearing this, Liu Chen smiled and said: "When the time comes, you will know, if it is really according to what Old Man Li Mu said, then this time we will undoubtedly be much easier to use troops in Goryeo!" ”
Hearing Liu Chen say this, Wu Yong was also looking forward to it, two days ago, Liu Chen suddenly found him, saying that he was taking him to see something, Wu Yong was still a little stunned, but Liu Chen's order, Wu Yong naturally would not refuse, so he came, but he found that Liu Chen seemed to attach great importance to the thing in his mouth.
"By the way, has the army to go to Goryeo been arranged?" Liu Chen and Wu Yong walked side by side on the road of the town, and Liu Chen suddenly asked.
"It's arranged!" Wu Yong immediately replied, "As for the 40,000 people of the two independent regiments under the command of General Meng Yi and General Guan Ying, plus the tiger and leopard cavalry in Luanbu in Hebei and the Praetorian Guard Battalion in Situ Jiannan, a total of 50,000 soldiers, in addition, his subordinates asked Yang Zhi to take the 10,000 soldiers he carefully trained to accompany the King of Han, what do you think?" ”
Liu Chen's footsteps paused slightly, Meng Yi, Guan Ying, Luan Bu and Situ Jiannan walked together, Liu Chen didn't have any opinion, but Wu Yong mentioned Yang Zhi, but it made Liu Chen pay attention, because he knew that Yang Zhi had been training a special army, and that was the Modao team.
"Now the Modao team has a scale of 10,000 people?" Liu Chen asked.
"There are 30,000 people, but the other 20,000 are still in training, and it will take some time to hone before they really set foot on the battlefield." Wu Yong said.
Nodding, Liu Chen said: "Then let Yang Zhi go with me, to be honest, I'm also quite curious about what kind of power the Mo Dao team can exert on the battlefield, and it is a good choice to use those Goryeo warriors for experiments." ”
In this way, the army soldiers who were going to follow Liu Chen to Goryeo were decided.
"See King Han!" Unconsciously, Liu Chen and Wu Yong had already come to the foundry, and the old man Li Mu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, knelt down on Liu Chen's knees and bowed respectfully.
"Old Man Li, it doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly!" Liu Chen strode forward, helped Li Mu up, and said with a smile, "Haha, it seems that Old Man Li has been quite moisturized recently, and now he still looks very healthy!" ”
Li Mu is now sixty-eight years old, but it can be seen that he is still very healthy, which is much younger than two years ago.
After listening to Liu Chen's words, Li Mu laughed and said: "Everything is given by the King of Han, the old man, I am in good health, and I want to witness the day when the King of Han ascends to the throne!" ”
If in the past, if someone said this, Liu Chen would definitely scold, but since he had made up his mind to dominate the world, he didn't care about these anymore, when the Han army was still weak, he was afraid of causing an attack by big forces, but now that the Han army has nearly one million armor, he himself has become the peak powerhouse of the king realm, and he is no longer afraid of other hegemonic forces on this continent.
"Don't worry, old man, this day will not be too far away!" Liu Chen said with a smile.
"Okay, good, the old man can see the rise of an empire in his lifetime, and die without regrets, come on, King Han, according to your request, we have cast this kind of artillery, and the power is amazing!" Li Mu laughed, and led Liu Chen in one direction.
But two quarters of an hour, on the edge of a cliff, Liu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he found that dozens of meters away, six artillery pieces that were exactly the same as the ancient artillery of the Chinese world in his memory were quietly placed there.
As early as before, after Li Mu and the others developed gunpowder, Liu Chen left drawings and asked Li Mu and them to try to cast artillery, but they didn't think that in just one year, the finished product was produced, which surprised Liu Chen.
"Old Man Li, have you tried these artillery?" Liu Chen asked Li Mu.
Li Mu said with a smile: "Of course, King Han, each of these artillery pieces has fired ten shells, as far as we are concerned, the maximum range of each artillery is about one mile, and according to the angle of the muzzle, the artillery can bombard all places within a range of one mile!" ”
"Good, good!" Liu Chen was overjoyed, and said three good words a year, the firing range of one mile, that is, the distance of 500 meters, if in a field battle, this would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the enemy's shock troops.
"ShellsAccording to King Han, we have made two kinds of shells, one is a completely solid iron bullet, and the other is a bomb that can explode!" Li Mu continued, "But this kind of artillery has some flaws, we have experimented, each artillery continuously fires as many as ten fifteen shells, and then you must rest for a quarter of an hour, otherwise, there will be an explosion, if it is fired every half an hour, it can be fired more than thirty times at most!" ”
Liu Chen felt excited again, this flaw in Li Mu's opinion, in fact, is not a big thing, even in the ancient times of the Chinese world, being able to fire ten times in a row is already burning high incense, so Liu Chen is very satisfied with the artillery they built, a small half quarter of an hour is equivalent to three minutes, if the number of artillery is enough, it can completely form a covering strike, so what Li Mu said is not a problem.
"King Han, this is the important thing you said?" Wu Yong, who was listening to the clouds, didn't know what Liu Chen and Li Mu were talking about, so he asked.
Hearing this, Liu Chen looked at Wu Yong with a smile on his face and said: "Of course this is a very important thing, this thing is called artillery, it can be said to be a big killer on the battlefield, if it is used properly, it can completely affect the outcome of a war!" ”
Hearing Liu Chen say this, Wu Yong became even more interested in the artillery in his mouth, and said, "Since this is the case, I wonder if I can see it?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Chen also looked at Li Mu and said, "It's useless, I also want to see with my own eyes, Old Man Li, how about trying to fire two shots?" ”
"No problem at all!" Li Mu grinned, and then ordered the soldiers who followed him to the foundry and let them start to prepare.
Soon, four soldiers came over carrying two large boxes, Li Mu led Liu Chen and Wu Yong to one of the cannons, and then his automatic hand, cleaned the chamber, filled the cannonball, and then lit a torch in his hand, walked to Liu Chen's side, and said to Liu Chen: "King Han, how about you come to light the fire?" ”
"Hahaha, okay, I'll come!" Liu Chen laughed, stepped forward, took the torch, and then pointed towards the fuse at the end of the artillery.
Sneer!!
Bang! Suddenly, a sound came out, and then Liu Chen and Wu Yong saw an object fired from the artillery, whistling away at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to see.
Rumble! Nearly a mile away on the sea, there was a roar, and a huge wave was lifted, all of which was clearly seen by Liu Chen and Wu Yong, two martial arts powerhouses, Liu Chen's face showed a touch of joy, and Wu Yong's face was full of shock!
"This shell is filled with gunpowder, and now I'm loading a solid iron bullet!" Li Mu looked at Liu Chen and Wu Yong's expressions, explained beautifully, and then began to reload the shells.
Bang! A voice came out, and an iron bullet weighing more than ten catties roared out at an indescribable speed, falling far into the sea, Liu Chen was completely happy.
