Chapter 102: Armored Fighting Vehicles

It's a pity that with the current technology and craftsmanship level of the Huang family, stainless steel cannot be produced, otherwise the armor will be stronger and tougher, and the weight and thickness are only enough for ordinary steel plates. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the future, the Huang family's troop carriers will have some rainproof shelters that can be flexibly assembled and disassembled, so that when it is windy and rainy, the soldiers will not have to survive in the bitter wind and rain.

Three chariots is a not-so-mature idea of Huang Sheng, he is going to let the four-wheeled carriage in front and pull the horse behind, which is not to pull the cart, but to push the cart forward.

In the Ming Dynasty, I had never seen a horse pushing a cart, and in later generations, Huang Sheng had seen a tricycle pushing a pedal.

In his hometown, the tricycle is in the back, everyone thinks that this should be taken for granted, and later in the north, found that many tricycle compartments are in front, Huang Sheng thinks that although the flexibility is a little worse, but it is more reasonable, because the owner can see his goods all the time.

Huang Sheng summoned the craftsmen and coachmen and told them about his design ideas.

He was going to design these three chariots so that they could charge directly into the enemy line and pull a strong mobile fortress that could be quickly transferred, so that they did not need to think about preventing artillery bombardment, but only about the power of the Jiannu Infantry Bow to shoot directly.

There is another requirement that cannot be ignored, that is, flame retardant, in case the Jiannu attack with fire, the company camp can not be burned.

At the front and rear ends of the carriage, there were nine brackets designed to allow the flintlock rifling guns to aim flexibly, and the two musketeers carried one gun with themselves, and after the eleven guns were loaded before engaging the enemy, they could theoretically shoot eleven times in a row.

In addition to the five guns that had been scrapped, the Huang family now had exactly thirty flintlock muskets that were well-maintained and ready to fire, which were enough to equip these three armored combat vehicles.

Now only himself, Huang Dongshan, and Gu Shanhe are qualified flintlock rifled gun shooters, each with four loaders to use a chariot, and when the troops retreat, they are not afraid of the Jiannu cavalry biting their tails and causing casualties among the soldiers.

Because the range of the flintlock pistol is more than double that of the enemy's bow and arrow, the power should not be underestimated, the bullet is different from the bow and arrow, the Jiannu can't see it at all, it is difficult to block with the weapon, and the effect of the leather shield block is not good.

If the Jiannu cavalry pursues with an iron shield, it is simply a joke, it is difficult to maintain balance on a horse with such a weight, how to gallop on a horse?

Heavy cavalry is used to charge into battle, and light cavalry is the best type of force to pursue the enemy.

He and Huang Dongshan can shoot the Jiannu cavalry who are chasing close while escaping, as long as the other party is not hundreds or thousands, it is not certain who will chase whom in the end, which is similar to the Mangu Gangu tactics of the Mongols!

Zhao Shimin, Gu San, and the skilled craftsmen listened to the request, patted their chests and assured that the troop carriers would be completed in five days, and the three combat vehicles would be ready for use in eight days.

They are full of confidence, the cars are semi-finished, shock absorption, wheels, and girders are all qualified products that have been tested for performance, and adults only require firmness and do not need any decoration.

It is too easy to prevent the Jiannu bow and arrow, just cover the wooden planks with the iron sheet, and the rocket will not burn for a while on the iron sheet.

The landing sortie force consisted of 36 hoplite pikemen and 18 cavalrymen, which was exactly 54 people of the standard general flag of the Ming army. In addition to Xiong Zhaoqi and his six family members, he brought Gu Shanhe, Huang Dongshan and twelve loaders, and sixteen coachmen equipped with helmets, visors, and cuirasses.

The sortie force was unprecedented, reaching 92 people, close to the total of 100 of the Ming army.

The landing site was preset with a small position, with fourteen four-pounder guns on board, twenty-eight gunners ready at all times, and sixteen guns for thirty-two sailors to control and wait for firing at any time.

This firepower was enough to provide a long-range strike force for the fighters who retreated to the dock to prepare to flee on board.

Sixty Lumi shooters used the fortifications as cover to break through the Ming Dynasty's traditional three-stage attack, and continued to shoot the scattered Jiannu who broke through the fire net and the trap area to ensure that the soldiers boarded the ship safely, and then everyone alternately covered all the ships and sailed to the sea.

Huang Sheng thought that as long as such an arrangement did not provoke the thousands of Jiannu troops to gallop over, it was entirely possible for everyone to slip away, and the premise was that the chasing troops should not exceed 100, and if the enemy was too much, the casualties of his own team would be unavoidable.

There are too many of the sixty Lu Mi Gun Shooters, all of them are student soldiers, so they shouldn't play a big role, Huang Sheng intends to take them through the war, so that they can learn to fight from battle.

A pre-war mobilization meeting was held on Huangjiashan Island, and both veterans and recruits were looking forward to the coming of the battle.

Huang Sheng boosted his morale again and told the 100 slender student soldiers that this time he would choose 50 people to follow him to kill Jiannu, survival of the fittest, everyone should fight for it!

Immediately after the meeting, 100 Lumi guns were distributed, and the loaders of Huangjiashan Island instructed them to load and shoot, and half of the children with outstanding grades were selected to take them away when they set off.

Teenagers are the age of impulsiveness, but also the age of the strongest receptivity, since they recognized the head of the family and settled in the Huang family, not only live a comfortable life, but also full of confidence in the future.

While training them, the Black Tigers often tell these children stories about adults taking them into battle.

also told the teenagers that being a family member in the Huang family would be promoted and make a fortune, and several of the family members who came to the Huang family first had become officials.

People who are full of hope for the future are of course full of energy, and these slender young men who used to work hard every day have practiced so much that they forget to sleep and eat in order to get the opportunity to choose one of the two.

Huang Sheng was going to reconnoiter along the coast of Gaizhou, he was too bad, he knew that Jiannu was blown up twice, and there should be all the grass and trees, and there should be secret posts along the coast to spy on the movements of the Ming warships on the sea.

He brought four warships and four horse boats, and the thick-skinned Lord Huang unceremoniously embezzled the property of the Ming army, and named the two warships 'Jinzhou' and 'Fuzhou'.

Guan Zhi was appointed as the captain of the 'Jinzhou', Yan Bixin was appointed as the captain of the 'Fuzhou', and Shi Zhong was appointed as the chief dispatcher of the horse ship.

The Huang family's fleet came to the coastal waters of Gaizhou, Huang Sheng held a meeting for everyone to arrange reconnaissance tasks, and Huang Dongshan took the 'Jinzhou' and a horse boat to the place where Jiannu could find it 100 nautical miles south of Gaizhou.

If you can reach them with guns and artillery, you can give them a few clicks, use binoculars to observe the terrain, record the number and movement of the garrison troops in Jiannu, and if possible, measure the water level at the landing site to see the road to the shore.

The same is true for Gu Shanhe to take the 'Fuzhou' to the south of Gaizhou, and Huang Mingdao to carry out the same task near 100 nautical miles to the north with the 'Gaizhou'.

Let them not be afraid to startle the snakes, and strive to be able to kill a few Jiannu who are watching from the seaside, but no one is allowed to go ashore to pick up the head, and those who violate the order will be beheaded.
