Chapter 320: Shooting Randomly
Mobile reading
Xu Wei squinted at the person, to be honest, Zhang Cunmeng at this distance didn't look like a grain of rice, he raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up to compare the target of the bright silver armor. This is the ranging method that Chinese taught him - in fact, it is the ranging method of the American military in the old world, straighten the arm and place the finger between the line of sight and the target, and observe the target if it can be crossed the width of the finger in one step, then the distance target is one hundred yards, and two steps is two hundred yards...... By analogy, this method is more simple and crude than the eye-jumping method used by the PLA. The reason why the senator in charge of training taught this ranging method is very simple, the Zheng family is not an enemy of the Senate, but a customer, and the purchase of the Senate rifle must of course provide a certain degree of training in order to exert its power. However, the Zheng family was not friends and could not teach them the "core technology", so they taught this ranging method with a high error rate and complex calculations.
The reason for the complex operation is mainly the inconsistency of weights and measures, which is different from the weights and measures of the old world, the distance unit of the old world is either the imperial system or the metric system, and the conversion between the metric system and the imperial system alone is already very cumbersome, and this US military ranging method must be converted from the imperial unit to the metric unit, and then the metric unit is converted into the ruler and zhang unit, so at this moment, Zhang Cunmeng's more than 300 yards are converted to Xu Wei's mind at this moment to become more than 140 zhang, and then it has to be converted to more than 300 meters, and then notify the soldiers to change the ruler. Don't underestimate the replacement of the ruler, at this moment, the scales on the rifle ruler of the Senate can all be used in the "Indian numerals", those crooked numbers Zheng Jiajun soldiers actually can't understand, they can only memorize the scale, and the officer shouts as many meters as he pushes the scale.
"Three hundred meters away, the position of the enemy general, concentrate fire, aim!" Xu Wei calculated for a while, then confirmed, and then shouted the order.
With the shouts of the officers on the city wall, the soldiers hurriedly pushed the ruler to the scale of three hundred meters, then checked the ammunition inside, and then aimed at the bright silver armored officer in the distance - he was so conspicuous that his armor reflected the light in the snow, which was extremely eye-catching, so the muzzles of all the rifles were aimed at Zhang Cunmeng.
"What's going on?" Zhang Cunmeng felt a chill in his neck for no reason, he didn't know where this cold came from, but he knew that the reason for this cold was definitely not because it was really cold, and even though he realized that there must be danger approaching, he turned his head to look in the direction of the city wall.
The officers and soldiers on the city wall have no movement at the moment, and the gunpowder smoke from the previous launches has now drifted away with the wind, and he can see that the officers and soldiers are holding those fire guns towards the sky, and he doesn't know what they are aiming at. He couldn't help but sneer, turned his head to look at He Yilong again, and said, "Okay! It's no problem to insist on three quarters of an hour, even if it is for an hour, I'll leave Zhang Cunmeng's words here! Today, you must stay until Monk Wang says you can go, otherwise you will raise your head to see him! He Yilong nodded, turned the horse's head, patted the horse's buttocks, and walked back, leaving Zhang Cunmeng and a few of his own soldiers there to continue to command the battle.
"Launch!" Seeing that the soldiers around him had already completed their aim and maintained a preoccupied attitude, Xu Wei nodded and ordered loudly. At this time, there was a dense sound of shooting on the top of the city again, and white-gray gunpowder smoke suddenly erupted, covering the vision, and the shooting target could no longer be seen from the city wall at this moment.
With the sound of shooting, hundreds of projectiles rose into the air, drawing an arc in the air, and flew towards Zhang Cunmeng's location. The firing distance of the Senate rifle is 70 meters, but because the industry of Dongfang Port is too much ahead of this time and space, the soldiers of Zheng Jiajun found that if they are loaded with twice as much ammunition, the accurate range of the Senate rifle can be increased to about 180 meters, and it will not explode, so the bullet charge they are now equipped with is about one and a half times the number of bullet charges provided by Dongfang Port, which can basically ensure that the Senate rifle they purchased can reach an accurate range of about 130 meters. Like the reason why the ruler on the Mauser pistol in the old world can reach 1,000 meters, the ruler on the Senate rifle is also divided into a scale of 800 meters, so Zheng Jiajun himself has figured out a set of methods that rely on the ruler for ultra-long-distance shooting, that is, to raise the muzzle of the gun, let the bullet fly out of a large parabola in the air and then fall down and hit the target.
However, the Senate rifle has no rifling, the bullet is hit in the chamber and barrel, and the trajectory is difficult to determine, so the hit rate of the target beyond 200 meters is very low, basically a little higher than the probability of hitting the moon, and now the distance of the target is more than 300 meters, and theoretically it is impossible to hit, but so many guns are shooting at that target at the same time, what if there is one that can hit? Therefore, Xu Wei made up his mind to make a salvo, anyway, the worst-case scenario is just to miss, what if it hits? Then today's battle is over.
At the same time, Zhang Cunmeng also saw the smoke cloud gushing out of the city wall, saying that the scene of gunpowder smoke when hundreds of rifles were fired at the same time was quite amazing, the city wall was like a fairyland at the moment surrounded by smoke screens, he couldn't help but praise a few soldiers around him, "The official army has such a neat military formation, and the power of shooting is ......" Before the words fell, he heard a strange whistling sound in the air, he raised his head to look in the direction where the sound came from but couldn't see anything, and when he hesitated, he suddenly heard a popping sound, I saw that the two pro-soldiers not far away suddenly shook their bodies, and they fell on the snow with their backs, blood gushing out from their chests and abdomen, and the two pro-soldiers died on the spot after two convulsions on the snow. At the same time, a few more pro-soldiers around him invariably let out a cry of pain, and in the blink of an eye, a huge wound suddenly appeared on the shoulders of those few people who were driven away, and blood splattered outward.
Although he had never seen such a situation, he also guessed that the salvo target at the head of the city just now must have been fired at him, and the soldiers around him were shot purely as scapegoats for themselves. Thinking of this, he quickly turned his horse's head and wanted to flee into the distance, now the distance of about four hundred steps seems to be unsafe, it is better to go farther. As soon as he turned the horse's head around, he heard a crisp and loud sound from his helmet, and a strong thrust came to his neck, causing him to tilt his head to the side.
He couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly took off the helmet and flipped it over to see, there was a deep pit on it, it seemed that it should be a bullet hit on it, but fortunately it was blocked by the warhead, it seems that if it weren't for this helmet, his life would be gone. Just thinking about it, suddenly he felt that his neck was numb, and his eyes were dark, and when his consciousness was finally dying, he felt that the sky was spinning in front of him, and he fell from the horse to the ground with a thud, and several pro-soldiers exclaimed beside him, "Brother Zhang has been shot!" "Brother Zhang!"
In fact, he was looking for his own death, and the warhead just now flew over a distance of more than 300 meters and hit his helmet, but because the strength of the helmet was higher than that of lead, it failed to penetrate, and even failed to cause him any damage. But the moment he took off his helmet, another bullet fell from a high bevel angle and hit Zhang Cunmeng's right shoulder and neck straight at the junction, this bullet had already undergone a huge deformation in the skin, directly cutting his carotid artery, and the gushing blood flew directly out of three meters away, and he quickly lost consciousness and fell off the horse. If he continues to ride away after being hit in the helmet, the best case scenario for this bullet is to hit his back armor, at this distance the power of the lead bullet has reached the end of the crossbow, and it is difficult to penetrate his armor or helmet, but he took off the helmet and tilted his head to see the pits in the helmet. Although I don't know who fired it, the bullet actually burrowed through the flesh on the lower right side of his neck, breaking his central nervous system and causing him to collapse without pain.
The ship is far away, and the ship hates Zhanyang Leng Yuji
The pro-soldiers who were not shot around hurriedly rushed forward to try to help him up, but Zhang Cunmeng didn't move at all, he didn't even move his eyes, and blood gushed out from the aorta below his neck, spraying several pro-soldiers around him. Now everyone knows that this non-muddy Zhang Cunmeng is already an immortal and can't be saved, so he hurriedly carried a few personal soldiers on his back and retreated towards the rear.
"Kill the boss!" There was a sudden burst of earth-shattering cheers among the cannon fodder, and although they were still in a fierce battle, they all saw the "non-muddy" flag in the distance and crashed to the ground because of the panic of the flag bearer. Although they don't know who the boss is, and they don't know who this flag represents, it is definitely not wrong to shout it first, at least it can make the rebel army who is fighting with them chaotic, and when one person shouts out, thousands of people will shout out at the same time, shocking the nearby rebel army that is still resisting.
The sword and axe men involuntarily turned their heads to look behind at this moment, and the flag that was still fluttering not far away was indeed gone, and those pro-soldiers were crowded together and still retreating, so it must be that the main general was really killed. Now that the main generals are dead, what are you still fighting here? Hurry up and run, so these knife and axe men quickly turned around and ran back.
When the cannon fodder saw that the knife and axe men who were still inseparable from themselves before, they suddenly turned their heads and ran, which strengthened their belief that the main general was dead, and hurriedly shouted together, and rushed forward with their weapons. Seeing the cannon fodder rushing over, the knife and axe hands were even more frightened, and they only hated their parents for having two legs less, and just ran with their heads down, lest they run slower than the "comrades-in-arms" around them and fall into the hands of the enemy, and they didn't even have the heart to resist at all.
After settling a distant hatred and long-distance relationship, he investigated the secret department of the moon
As the saying goes, the defeat of the army is like a mountain, Wang Ziyong couldn't help but shout loudly "damn" and scolded a few words, the sudden collapse of the siege army in front of him was something he did not expect, even if his own people could not climb the city wall just now, at least they were still inseparable from the group of cannon fodder on the ground, and he asked He Yilong to come forward and inform Zhang Cunmeng that he must guard for three more moments, He Yilong also replied that Zhang Cunmeng would be able to hold it with his head. But why did it suddenly collapse like this? Isn't it just the flag down?
Seeing this situation, several of Zhang Cunmeng's personal soldiers knew that it was the collapse of the front caused by the fall of the flag, so they hurriedly stepped forward to put up the flag and shouted to the soldiers who ran by them to step forward. But this group of swords and axes has now lost their will to fight, and they don't have the courage to turn around and rush forward at all, but continue to run back with their heads down. The crowd of people came and swept these futile soldiers into pieces, and they had no choice but to flee back with the crowd.
After the hatred and hatred of independence, the technique is not to pick up Yangji
"We're going to rush out!" Zheng Zhihu excitedly slapped on the cold battlements, the color of ecstasy was overflowing, today's victory was far from what he expected, almost nearly 10,000 people attacked the city, and even the city wall collapsed so dramatically, except for shooting a few arrows to the city wall, the rebel army in front of him failed to pose any threat to Taiping City at all, except for two unlucky Zheng family soldiers and a villager Yong who were injured by arrows, there was no loss to the defending troops at all.
"No, you're not messy enough, are you?" Xu Wei waved his hand, although Zheng Zhihu was the commander of this army, but now after the victory of these battles, Zheng Zhihu can be said to be obedient to his opinion, basically what he said Zheng Zhihu would be absolutely obedient, so Zheng Zhihu stopped turning around and beckoning the soldiers, turned his head to look at him and said, "Why?" Now is the time for the enemy to be defeated, and it is a good opportunity to send the army to sweep up and expand the victory! ”
After the hatred of the local department, the ship Chamo Leng Yuan ghost appeared
"Poor Kou Mo chasing, I haven't missed this sentence since ancient times," Xu Wei said, pointing to Wang Ziyong's camp in the distance and continued, "Although the enemy army has broken down at this moment, its main formation has not been impacted, and the rebel army that launched the attack still has a large number of reserves, if we open the city gate now, the chaos below will inevitably pour in in large numbers, not to mention pursuing the enemy army, it is impossible to even rush out of the city gate." If the enemy counterattacks at this moment, the rebels will inevitably be in chaos, and they will bring us and the others with a great chaos, and perhaps the city will fall. And the thousands of chaotic people below, the number is huge and mixed, and there will definitely be a large number of spies mixed in them, if they are all put into the city without screening, it will definitely cause great hidden dangers to the city. ”
"So what do you say?" Zheng Zhihu thought about it carefully, and hurriedly asked, Xu Wei quietly glanced at the chaotic people below, and whispered to Zheng Zhihu, "Wait! ”
