Chapter Eighty-Six: The Manuscript Is Written
"It's good to be a horse, and your willingness to personally lecture to the craftsmen in order to screen iron ore is already a great merit to the border war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Ruixiu also hurriedly didn't dare to say hello, because King An's sense of existence was too low, Li Ruixiu almost only remembered chatting with Mr. Du, and agreed on the time to train the craftsman, Li Ruixiu sent the guests away, turned around and sighed with emotion.
Back in the study, Li Ruixiu immediately rummaged through the magic weapons of the fairy world, especially those that can deal with cavalry, as he said before, the immortals are all a gun team can solve problems across a hundred meters, how can there be any special weapon design to deal with cavalry.
Li Ruixiu flipped through the arms, all of them were steel cannons with barrels and gunpowder, he could see it or not, he could only look at the previous history of the fairy world again, the cavalry in the history of the fairy world also galloped thousands of miles, invincible, and the later decline began when a large number of simple firearms were used, and the peak of this period can be said to be a book, Sun Chengzong's "Cheying Buckle Answer Compilation".
Looking at the name, you know that this book is mainly written about the car battalion, which has chariots, infantry, cavalry, and baggage, which are arranged according to a certain formation, and use strong firepower to impact the cavalry, and the chariot pulling the firearm will not drag down the mobility of the army too much.
The book is divided into four parts: "Cheying One Hundred and Eight Buckles", "Cheying One Hundred and Eight Answers", "Cheying One Hundred and Eight Sayings" and "Cheying Diagrams". These four volumes were written out of more than 70,000 words, Li Ruixiu helplessly picked up the pen, rewriting little by little, but no matter how to rewrite Li Ruixiu also felt a little chaotic, talking on paper, even if it was a simple copy, he couldn't do it, this is still compiled according to the specific situation of the terrain of the fairy world, Li Ruixiu wanted to transform into the situation of the Great Ying Dynasty, but because he had never been out, he didn't know the specific situation at all, he deleted and reduced, and tried his best to get this set of works out first.
The core of the car camp is firearms, Li Ruixiu only knew that there were firearms in the Ying Dynasty, and they were also used in the war on a large scale, but he never understood, I had heard that this thing was unstable, the lethality was average, it was easy to hurt the soldiers, and it was still dead, King An probably suffered from firearms when he was in the army, so the weapons bureau, the staff bureau, and the gunpowder bureau in the capital were all required to focus on the development of firearms after the new emperor ascended the throne.
Li Ruixiu stopped writing, he couldn't compile a firearm-centered barracks formation before he had a suitable firearm, which directly became a castle in the air.
Li Ruixiu called Li Zhan and wrote a letter, he needed to know what firearms the Chinese army was currently equipped with, and judge whether he needed to make new artillery to match the formation.
The letter was sent to Mr. Du, some of the firearms and equipment in the army can be passed on, and some are confidential, and Li Ruixiu is obviously not a person who can know the secrets, Mr. Du asked people to sort out the firearms information commonly used in the army, and also kindly sent Li Ruixiu a few samples, of course, they are all goods that have been used on the battlefield for a long time, and they are not new achievements of the Internal Government Supervision Bureau.
Li Ruixiu thought that he could only get some catalog descriptions, but he didn't expect Mr. Du to send samples, bird guns, three-eyed guns, and rockets are said to be used by the Southern Army to cooperate with spears, wolf guns, swords, shields, etc., and they can't be used against horsemen in the north at all, and the cannons that Mr. Du provided him with are only the drawings of military cannons and artillery, and these iron bumps are all erected on the city wall, and they can't be sent to Li Ruixiu's hand immediately.
Bird guns and arquebuses can barely cope with the needs of the formation, but the cannon, to be able to mount on the gun carriage, but also the firepower is not light, this is difficult to do, the book describes a kind of Furlong cannon, this kind of cannon is characterized by the rear loading smoothbore Gadan, with a crosshair and a door, can aim and shoot.
Li Ruixiu used his pen to draw the pattern of this cannon, this cannon is very rough, it can be made with clay fan as an abrasive, and the molten iron is still used for pouring, and the gunpowder does not need to be reconfigured, and the current black powder is used. It is said to be simple, but in fact, the structure of this thing is very complicated, Li Ruixiu has a headache when he paints, there are a bunch of drawings in the car camp compilation, and the number of words is also a lot, plus this Franc machine, this is to be sorted out, isn't it necessary to write and draw for four or five days without stopping.
I was a little displeased with the plagiarism of this kind of unnutritious formation, sending troops, and heavy supply of grain and grass, Li Ruixiu still tried his best to immerse himself in the design of the artillery, although this design in the fairy world has been rotten to be regarded as an antique, but in Li Ruixiu's view, there is still merit, in order to ensure flexibility, the Furlong cannon is made of a thousand pounds of weight, but it can not sacrifice the lethality too much, and at the same time, it is also restricted by the fact that the material can only be cast iron, and the Furlong cannon must be thick and heavy, in case of explosion, the finished drawings of the Furlong machine, It is the result of balancing many constraints, embodying the wisdom of the immortals, and it is the best thermal weapon that can be made at the current level of the country.
Li Ruixiu was in good spirits when he drew the artillery fire, but when he copied the Cheying Q&A, he really felt that it was a waste of life, and finally made a set of books and a set of drawings, he couldn't put it down while holding the cannon, and felt more and more that the design was exquisite, and first ordered Li Zhan to send the "Cheying Deduction and Answer Compilation" to the Chinese army, and he copied and painted a set of Fulong machine guns, ready to slowly taste the wisdom in it.
In the past five days, Mr. Du has also sent his henchmen to inquire about Li Ruixiu's behavior, knowing that he has been holding in the study, taking a fire gun and not coming out, as if he is studying in the house, and he has also seen him go to the back mountain to open fire. But in just a few days, Li Ruixiu actually took out a set of military books for the car battalion, including sending troops, transporting troops, and logistics supplies, Mr. Du didn't see the magic of this set of military books, he saw that Li Ruixiu wrote the book in just five days, how to win people's trust.
Open the book of war and examine it carefully, this is a kind of artillery car as the core of the art of war, with a kind of Furlong cannon, see the picture painted this cannon is slightly smaller than the artillery, can be pulled by the carriage, but I don't know how powerful it is, each time the cannon needs to be loaded and plugged and a series of actions, it is very time-consuming, so the cannon must be erected on the city tower or used to prevent the attack by the enemy when attacking, the range of the cannon is far, but once fired once, the Tatar cavalry can hit the cannon body before the second fire, the prince has used firearms in the northwest, As a result, they were scattered by the impact of the Warats, and they didn't have time to fire a few times, and the enemy came closer. He didn't know how light the Furlong cannon was, and how fast it could move when it was dragged by a carriage, so he immediately shook his head, how to ensure the range and hardness of the cannon if it had no weight.
Mr. Du is not a blind person, he sees the unreality of horse-drawn artillery, but more of what he sees is the discussion of the logistics of marching and fighting in the book, the discussion of the formation of the entire barracks around the artillery, and this side also combines the terrain and the characteristics of various places, these things are not at all Li Ruixiu, who has never been out of the capital, can understand.
