This kind of artillery, which is only half a person's height and weighs only more than 500 catties, is the latest type of artillery developed by nearly 100 Western and Chinese technicians on King Crab Island, a liquid spring re-entry howitzer. [No pop-up novel network]

However, there are only 12 of this kind of artillery at present, and this time to bring this new type of artillery to the battlefield, it is natural to test its power in the northern plains, but to be honest, in the process of developing this kind of artillery, Liang Pengfei's subordinates are really not very interested in this kind of small artillery with a caliber of only 70 millimeters and a ammunition weight of only 8 pounds.

After all, the mortars that Liang Jiajun has now are divided into three different types of mortars in terms of caliber: 60 mm, 80 mm, and 100 mm, and the shelling effect of the largest 100 mm mortar has also made the commanders and fighters of all units of Liang Jiajun very satisfied.

And Liang Pengfei is now making this strange artillery, with a caliber of 70 millimeters, but the weight is several times the overall weight of the mortar, except for relying on animal power to pull, it is impossible to rely on manpower.

This kind of artillery made Liang Pengfei's subordinates complain, thinking that Young Master Liang had another tendon and was blind to these things.

However, what does Young Master Liang want to do, who can persuade him, and Liang Pengfei, who was annoyed and angry, swept all those who wanted to talk crookedly under the table with one sentence. "You army don't want it, Lao Tzu will make it for the navy to play, and starve to death you turtle grandchildren."

And when Liang Pengfei threw those plans and various materials about the development and future prospects of this new type of artillery into the eyes of these stupid people, these guys were all dumbfounded, the accuracy of this kind of artillery is above the mortar, and its range is far more than that of mortars, and the concealment of the artillery is stronger, so that the artillery can cover the hostile targets at a safer distance.

In addition, mortars are mainly used as artillery support at the battalion and company levels, although they are lightweight, but there is a serious problem, that is, the caliber is not large, and the ability to attack fortifications is insufficient, just like when attacking Fuzhou City, the number of mortar shells consumed can be a lot.

In a word, the mortar is good, but the artillery is not bad, and more importantly, the combination of the two types of heavy firepower will allow the Liang Jiajun to greatly leap to a higher level in long-range fire support.

…… As a result, after those army generals repented, changed their ways, and slapped their ass, they finally obtained the priority to use this new type of artillery.

And at least if the navy wants to use it, I'm afraid it will have to wait for a while, after all, the battleship is not as good as the land, and the artillery used will naturally have to be redesigned. An important reason is that Liang Pengfei considered that the current replacement rate of warships is too high, so the development of naval guns is mainly based on experimental surnames.

After all, in this era, with wooden sail warships as the main battleships, they still rely on the intensive shooting of artillery, and rely on artillery fire to cover the victory in the naval warfare era, to install large-caliber long-range naval guns is simply, and it is very likely that the enemy did not even fight, and their own battleships scattered first.

However, at present, the Krawang Island Naval Laboratory has still made some breakthroughs in the development of naval warships, at least the battleships made by the old-fashioned welding process cannot be built too large, but its durability and defense are indeed a great leap.

As for the weapon locked in the tail building of this flagship, it is Liang Pengfei's favorite weapon, which is a terrifying weapon that weighs more than a hundred pounds than the cannon on the deck: the water-cooled heavy machine gun, the birth of this weapon is equivalent to the end of the heavyweight note of the cold weapon era, and it can even be said to be the end of the cold weapon era.

This was the most wonderful gift that Liang Pengfei brought to the Manchu rulers. "I'll be there myself." Liang Pengfei rubbed his fingers, and happily savored the heavy metal rhythm when he tested the machine that day, which was really wonderful to the extreme!

In addition, according to the knowledge in the mind of Liang Pengfei, the researcher of the generator has made breakthroughs, and the lead-acid battery has also made progress. It's just that the power of the current generator is really not very good, and in addition, the lead-acid battery is equal to zero in the current situation, and the dangerous surname is very high, but it is very popular in the laboratory on King Crab Island.

Because of these two things, many experiments have finally been able to be carried out smoothly, especially by scientists who are engaged in metal smelting and extraction.

When Liang Pengfei's fleet went up the river to the outside of Tianjin, the cavalry division had already outflanked it, and the battleships used their outrageously dense artillery to collapse a third of the city wall along the river, and then, with the cooperation of the marines and the cavalry division that had arrived in advance, plus a regiment of the special 1st division that had landed five miles away from the city of Tianjin, unexpectedly and easily took the city of Tianjin.

Until this moment, the soldiers seemed to be fully awake, they had really come to the north, they had captured Tianjin, the gateway of Yanjing, they were only three hundred miles away from Yanjing, the base camp of the vampires who had been riding on the head of the Chinese nation for more than a century was already close at hand!

"The general of the defeated army, Ahabao, the chief soldier of Tianjin Town, see my lord." A general's robe was dusty, and it was damaged in several places, the official hat on his head didn't know where it flew, and he didn't know whether he had rolled on the ground countless times on his face, or crawled a few kilometers in the gutter, in short, the blood stains and scars on his face, coupled with his frightened eyes, made Liang Pengfei feel that this guy was like a small tenant who came to the bully landlord's house to borrow grain, well, it made him feel a sense of accomplishment.

Liang Pengfei looked at the chief soldier of Tianjin Town who knelt down in front of him, and said with a smile: "Lord A doesn't have to be like this, today, Liang came to visit Tianjin, but the soldiers under General A are really a little blind, and actually blocked me out of the city, no way, I only knocked on the door and came in, and I hope Lord A will not be surprised?" Hehehe......"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Ahaboo raised his head with a sad face and replied, looking at Liang Pengfei, the anti-thief who led the army to break through Tianjin City in less than two hours, he really couldn't find any suitable adjectives to describe the feeling when facing this guy.

But one thing is certain, he let those black-clothed thieves pull them out of the cellar, since he didn't slaughter himself at that time, it means that he may still be of some use, so he has been guessing Liang Pengfei's intention to leave his surname.

"Don't be nervous, my lord, I won't kill you, at least now I'm not interested in slaughtering a straw bale soldier hiding in the kiln and crying with his mother's thigh." Liang Pengfei took a cup of hot tea from the white scholar's hand and took a sip, looking at the Tianjin wharf that was crowded with soldiers of the Liang family army who were lining up, and didn't even look at the Tianjin general soldier.

"I'll leave you a surname, let you eat and drink well, rest for a night to recuperate, tomorrow you set off with us, we will send you to Yanjing City, and wait for Lao Tzu to play in Yanjing City. will let you go and give me a word for your emperor Qianlong. The Manchurians have been riding on the head of our Chinese nation for long enough, and they had better take the initiative to roll down and surrender unconditionally to me, otherwise, I will not mind using 1,300 artillery pieces to burn the entire Yanjing City and the more than 578,900 bannermen in Yanjing City. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Hearing that he could live, and he also asked himself to give a message to Qianlong, Ahab Bao knew that his old life was saved, but after hearing the content of the words that he wanted to let himself carry in the past, Ahab Bao felt that there was something wrong with his ears, or whether the guy in front of him was crazy.

1,300 cannons, it sounds really scary, Tianjin City let them take it down without much effort, it can be said that their artillery is really frightening, but the problem is that the city wall of Yanjing City is much stronger than Tianjin, and the city defense and artillery of Yanjing City are also far superior to Tianjin City.

Don't forget, there are nearly 80,000 green battalions of soldiers and horses stationed in seven towns in Zhili Province, not to mention that although more than half of the soldiers and horses have been sent to Shanhaiguan in Yanjing City, there are still 50,000 forbidden brigades and eight banners in the capital.

With tens of thousands of people under his hands, does he really think that he is an immortal? At least in Ahbabao's thinking, Liang Pengfei's words are tantamount to blowing the cowhide to the limit. Arrogance, arrogance, as if only these two words can be worthy of the thief in front of him.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, your emperor will take my words very seriously, because, until then, I will let them enjoy a beautiful slaughter."

After the general soldier was taken into custody, a cadre of staff officers under Liang Pengfei began to continue the unfinished issues. "Yanjing City is divided into the inner and outer cities, and the inner city is all based on the Eight Banners, defending the imperial city. The outer city has Han people living together, and its city gate is divided into nine inner cities, seven outer ones, and four imperial cities. In addition to the inner city in the south, there are three gates leading to the outer city, seven gates in the outer city, and six gates in the inner city, so there are thirteen gates in total, and if we count the cavalry division, that is, five divisions outside the artillery brigade, thirteen city gates, what should we do? ”

"The inner city wall of Yanjing City is about 12 miles wide from east to west, and about 11 miles long from north to south, while the outer city is located in the south of Yanjing City, and the circumference of the outer city wall is 28 miles. If we have four infantry divisions, one division is responsible for one direction, the cavalry division is the mobile force, and the artillery brigade is reinforced at the junction of the inner and outer cities, and the two regiments of the Marine Corps are responsible for controlling Beicang, north of Tianjin, as well as Dong'an County, to ensure the smooth flow of our logistics......"

"In a word, Yanjing City, we have to eat it, whether it is fried or fried, we have to serve it in one pot!" Liang Pengfei finally made a summary at dinner.
