Zhang Feiyang used this mine, and soon blocked the attack of those Jin troops, and those Jin troops had nothing to do with Zhang Feiyang's mines. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info because they found that this mine was almost unsolvable, and no matter what method they used, those mines had a way to deal with them. First of all, Zhang Feiyang can not only fight with mines that detonate immediately, but also lengthen the fuse inside, and even delay it for more than ten minutes before exploding. And from a mine that explodes immediately, to a jumping mine that can fly into the air and explode. Even all kinds of mines that trap people, just directional mines that hurt people and rarely kill people, all of them made those Jin troops suffer.

Of course, the Jin army soon learned well, and they carried out demining by pushing logs. Then, every time they pushed the logs, it would take more than ten minutes before they continued to attack, so as not to be harmed by the mines that exploded in a delayed manner. Since the Jin army adopted this method, there have been no casualties due to landmines. Unfortunately, this method has a fatal weakness, which is that their speed is very slow, they can hardly attack effectively, and their attack speed has been reduced to the lowest point. Originally, these distances could only reach Weizhou City in one or two days, but now they have been delayed by this mine for seven or eight days, and they are still moving inch by inch, which is really very sad. The journey of a day or two was not completed for seven or eight days. Maybe even go to the enemy next, I don't know how long it will take.

The morale of the Jin army was completely wiped out. Originally, these tens of thousands of gold troops rushed over with great interest, but they were helpless in the face of these mines, and even their morale was wiped out. Although there are very few kills from mines, they are disgusting! Not only disgusting you from casualties, but even disgusting you from all kinds of morale and confidence, this is the reason for the low morale of the Jin army.

"Hahahaha, this time Zhang Qianhu, you have made a great contribution again! This time the Jin army is going to be in trouble, they will not be able to attack for a long time, and if we use mines in the future, those Jin troops may not be able to attack at all, so that we can destroy their morale, and then we will have a lot easier to fight them! Yang An'er said happily.

Yang An'er is also paying more and more attention to Zhang Feiyang, this world is so realistic, those who have the ability to eat meat, and those who don't have the ability to eat. , especially in troubled times. This is what it looks like in troubled times, what fights dad and what spells relationships fight backstage, it is already secondary. Those who are capable and helpful in the war can be given priority promotion, and even the leaders will reuse you, not paying too much attention to your origin and identity. So now that Zhang Feiyang has been reused, it is normal.

"Leader Yang An'er, the relationship between me and Miss Yang Miaozhen, you ......," Zhang Feiyang asked.

However, Yang An'er was also helpless for a while, this Yang Miao's real marriage was really not something he could completely solve. Because Yang An'er has no confidence that he can force Yang Miaozhen to marry Zhang Feiyang, if Yang An'er can be persecuted, then he will not hesitate to persecute him. However, Yang Miaozhen is strong in martial arts, and her status in this red jacket army is almost no less than that of Yang An'er, if it weren't for the identity of the eldest brother, I'm afraid Yang An'er might not be able to lower Yang Miaozhen. Therefore, in terms of this marriage, if Yang Miaozhen herself is unwilling, then Yang An'er is really not good at forcibly marrying.

"Hmmm......"

Zhang Feiyang saw Yang An'er's embarrassment, and he also took the initiative to say: "Since this is the case, let's talk about it later!" I have now come up with another way of making firearms. ”

"What method? Is there any other way than rockets, mines? Yang An'er asked.

Zhang Feiyang hurriedly replied: "The rocket is too wasteful of gunpowder, and it can't hit accurately." Mines are too passive to be able to effectively attack actively. So, I had an idea, and that is to make artillery! ”

Zhang Feiyang is also a senior technician who made artillery by testing artillery, so he naturally knows the importance of this. What he is best at is making artillery, and of course he will not let go of this ability. Of course, he knew that he had to come up with an artillery that was in line with this era, and it was impossible to force the artillery of later generations. The artillery of later generations is unrealistic in this era, but with his ability, it is okay to make artillery that can be suitable for this era, anyway, he is not an artillery technician in vain.

"This is called the Tiger Squat Cannon, and this is my design drawing!" Zhang Feiyang said.

Zhang Feiyang took out a design drawing, and then drew a small cannon, looking at this cannon is very light and tiny, in terms of the weight of later generations, it is about forty catties. The gun was made of steel, had a simple structure, and was very lightweight. If you need one, you can carry it on your back, and you can even move with the horse. And this artillery, there are two supports underneath, so that it looks like a tiger squatting, which is the source of the tiger squat cannon.

"This really looks like a tiger squatting, what's the use of this?" Yang An'er asked.

Zhang Feiyang took the initiative to explain: "This tiger squat cannon can install some gunpowder inside, and then place some gravel and broken porcelain pieces outside, and then ignite the gunpowder and explode." The force of the explosion fires the broken piece of rubble, which can then kill and injure enemies. Especially for those enemies who are not wearing heavy armor, it is extremely lethal. This Tiger Squat Cannon is very useful for killing and injuring the enemy's living force, which can kill a large number of enemy living forces. ”

Although Yang An'er doesn't know some of Zhang Feiyang's terms, such as what vitality is. However, he could quickly understand the context, that is, the main weapon is to kill and injure the enemy's soldiers, and this weapon is very useful for killing and injuring the enemy. Yang Nan'er quickly thought of the thunderbolt, and the thunderbolt was also a vital force that killed and injured the enemy. However, the power of the thunder is not as great as this, and the range of the strike is not as wide as this. So this is very useful, if it is used to hit the enemy, it is a big hit at a time!

Zhang Feiyang used this tiger squat cannon, which was actually the tiger squat cannon used by Qi Jiguang during the Ming Dynasty. Although this Tiger Squat Cannon looks lightweight, it is the most suitable weapon at the moment. At present, it is impossible for Zhang Feiyang to make the kind of alloy cannon steel in later generations, and he does not have the ability to smelt high-grade alloy steel, so he cannot make artillery in later generations. Not to mention alloy steel, even some bronze is currently unobtainable to him. Bronze is an alloy of concentrated elements, and even Zhang Feiyang can't get it at all. In particular, copper ore is not easy, and at present, it can only be used locally.

Bronze is not easy to get at the moment, but it is still very easy to get steel. Steel can be obtained, for example, a lot of people here are using steel, so there is still a lot of steel. And these steels are too "brittle", and if you use a gun with a large charge and high chamber pressure, it is easy to blow up. At present, these steels are too inferior, so Zhang Feiyang can only retreat this time and choose some low-pressure artillery, so as to kill the enemy. At present, the most needed are low-pressure artillery to kill and injure the enemy's vital forces, and as for the muskete-pressure artillery for siege, they are not needed for the time being, and they are not capable of making them.

In Zhang Feiyang's memory, this tiger squat cannon is also very useful. The Tiger Squat Cannon is a commonly used artillery used by Qi Jiguang during the anti-Japanese war, and his advantages are light weight, simple shooting, easy operation, and even easy manufacturing. This kind of tiger squat cannon can also be made of cast iron, and the chamber pressure is low, and it is not easy to blow up the chamber. And he can install some gravel and other bullets, this kind of gravel is easy to obtain, and there is no need to be too specialized in manufacturing, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost, as long as you can find some gravel at random.

If such artillery is fired, it will be a dozen and a large area, and the enemy's infantry will surely suffer very heavy losses. Even if you don't die, you can't effectively fight back, and this is the ruthlessness of the tiger squatting cannon. Of course, this Tiger Squat Cannon, especially the small-caliber Tiger Squat Cannon, can only be used for those miscellaneous soldiers. This cannot be used to siege the city, and the ultimate firing range of this Tiger Squat Cannon is no more than 500 meters, and even the effective firing range is only within 200 meters. At most, this Tiger Squat Cannon is used to hit some enemies who do not have strong firepower and do not have many firearms.

At present, these Jin troops are exactly like this, although they seem to have a large number of people, but they have a single means of combat, and they all rely on forming dense formations to fight. Therefore, this is the favorite enemy of the Tiger Squat Artillery, and under a direct attack, a large area can be struck, and the enemy will suffer heavy losses at all.

"Can this really do what you say?" Yang An'er asked.

Zhang Feiyang said with certainty: "Yes, it is completely possible." As long as we can fight the enemy, then we can kill and wound the enemy's soldiers. Of course, the siege is still not enough, and we can only use it to suppress the soldiers on the enemy's walls during the siege. Of course, once we stop the bombardment, they can all go to the walls again to defend. And when our soldiers attacked the city wall, we couldn't open fire to avoid accidental injury. Therefore, our tiger squat cannon can only be used to defend the city, or it is still used as a means of dealing with some small groups of enemies in the field. If you really fight in a large army face to face, the effect is still relatively poor. ”

"Well, it's good to be able to defend the city and fight the squad, after all, no weapon can cover the world." Yang An'er also expressed her understanding.

As a person with many years of battlefield experience, Yang An'er naturally knows that no weapon can conquer the world, so it is certain. Yang An'er also knew that although this firearm was hugely powerful, there was not just one weapon that could completely defeat all enemies. From this time, it seems that the cost of rockets is high, and it is suitable for hitting enemy walls or large army corps of the enemy. Mines are suitable for blocking the enemy and slowing down the enemy's attack. This Tiger Squat Cannon is suitable for the current defense of the city, and there are also various skirmishes.

This is actually different weapons have different uses, and there is no most powerful weapon in this world, only the most suitable weapon. Many people may compare this and that, and think which weapon is the best. But in fact, there is no such thing as the most powerful weapon in the world, only the most suitable one. Too many people don't understand this truth, but only with a certain amount of battlefield experience, they naturally understand this truth very well.

"Well, I'll have a lot of artillery in the future. When the time comes, I can make a siege cannon that can damage the enemy's gates in one shot. Moreover, this kind of artillery wastes much less gunpowder than rockets, and it is also more accurate than rockets. It can even be aimed directly, allowing soldiers to aim directly, as if shooting with a crossbow arrow, which is much easier than shooting with a bow. Zhang Feiyang said.

"Good, good! I think my sister will definitely like you then, like Brother Zhang, who doesn't like you! Yang An'er said.

Zhang Feiyang thought disdainfully in his heart: "Hmph, you wrote me a blank check here!" I'm afraid that you can't decide Yang Miaozhen's marriage at all, you're just fooling me into selling my life! Of course, if you can decide Yang Miaozhen's marriage, maybe you will be eager to marry her to me right away. However, if it was just an ordinary woman, I still wouldn't bother to marry it! ”

Of course, Zhang Feiyang knows that if he wants to gain a foothold here, of course, it will not be so easy. He soon began to prepare for the Tiger Squat Cannon. Although the Tiger Squat Cannon is simple to manufacture, he still has to keep an eye on it personally, especially the first batch of finished products of the Tiger Squat Cannon must be personally supervised. Only when the people under him have experience can they really let them make their own products.

"Senhu-sama, according to your method, we made one, what do you think!" Zhang Feiyang's blacksmith said.

At present, Zhang Feiyang, a thousand artillery households, is a hodgepodge. About three or four hundred of them were responsible for the manufacture of artillery, while only more than 100 were in charge of using firearms. Of course, those who use firearms must also rely on Zhang Feiyang's command, otherwise they will not be able to use firearms alone. This artillery thousand households can be said to be the production and use of his subordinates, but Zhang Feiyang will definitely plan to form a special artillery unit next. In the future, it is necessary to separate this unit for the production and use of artillery, which is conducive to the use and manufacture.

If the use of artillery and the manufacture of artillery are not separated, then it is easy to create all kinds of problems in the future. Even if Zhang Feiyang uses an industrial phrase, that is, the combat department and the production department are not separated, then the combat effectiveness of the combat department will definitely be dragged down by the production department. The army is also specialized in combat, and if the army is involved in production, then this will definitely reduce the combat effectiveness. From the decline of the Ming Dynasty's guard troops, to the later period of military business in New China, this is a stupid thing that seriously reduces combat effectiveness.

Not to mention the production and construction corps, the fastest reduction in combat effectiveness is definitely the so-called production and construction troops. Therefore, the production department and the combat department must be separated, and this is the trend that Zhang Feiyang plans to do in the future, and it is necessary to form a real artillery unit.
