Chapter 230 Shen Zhi made contributions
It can be said that the plan formulated by Su Meiduo is very detailed, and the two parts of the plan are interlocking, and whether it is against Niu Tianci's home or the attack on the ordnance factory, it is necessary to attack it. No matter which side is attacked first, the defenders of Dragon City will desperately rescue, and this will inevitably reduce the defense force of the other side. Sumedo knew that it was impossible to achieve two goals at the same time, so after careful consideration, he chose the Ordnance Factory. However, before the operation, he handed over the power of temporary decision-making to Ulit, and Sumedo believed that with Ulit's understanding of Dayan, he would definitely do his best to accomplish this mission.
After Ulit infiltrated Youzhou, after careful observation and analysis, he put two-thirds of his strength on attacking Niu Tianci's home, and the remaining one-third was all composed of the elite of a hundred battles, and he personally led the sneak attack on the ordnance factory.
Ullit is taking risks and gambling, and he wants to achieve two goals at once. Ulit is also ruthless enough, and the resentment against Niu Tianci in his heart makes him unconsciously take attacking Niu Tianci's home as the main target.
Just when Yuan Yuan and the others were fighting desperately with the elite of Rong Yu, the five hundred elites of Ulit had already entered the outer cordon of the ordnance factory, and were heading towards the armory and the main building of the R&D Department where various technical materials were hidden. But when they came to the courtyard of the main building, they were blocked by a minefield buried there.
According to Niu Tianci's regulations, within half a mile outside the main building of the R&D department, mines will be planted every night, that is, an enhanced version of the tripping thunderbolt. In addition to the guards inside the main building knowing where the safe passage is, outsiders who want to break into the main building must first pass through this minefield that is half a mile wide, and they must also face the fierce attacks of the guards in the main building.
Ulit looked at his subordinates who were constantly flying into the air after being bombed, and he was very anxious, they couldn't clear mines, and it was too slow to use people to clear mines. What was supposed to be a sneak attack has now turned into a strong attack, and the most precious thing is time. Ulit and the five hundred elites never thought that they could get out of here alive, and if they couldn't get those materials, they would destroy them, this was Sumedo's order, and it was also the mission that Ulit and the others had to complete. Looking at the guards swarming around him, Ulit ordered ballistas to be erected to bombard the minefield and the main building. He was going to blow up a passage and rush into the main building to defend it. Occupying the main building allows the guards to throw rat traps, and they will never dare to attack themselves with ballistas, and then they can calmly collect information.
Ullit's idea is correct and the method is effective. There were not many guards in the main building, and they were killed and wounded under the frantic bombardment of Ulit. The minefield that blocked Ulit was also blown out of a passageway, and Ulit shouted and led his men to rush towards the main building. But just as this was about to be done, a mysterious force appeared on the other side of the main building, and their arrival completely extinguished Ullet's hopes.
Not to mention that Ulit didn't know about this mysterious unit, even Niu Tianci only knew that he had such an experimental force, and he was not very clear about the equipment and combat power of this force. This force totaled about 300 people, led by three generals personally selected by Niu Tianci, and was directly under the command of Shen Zhi. The name of this unit is called the Shenji Battalion, and as the name suggests, the weapons equipped by the Shenji Battalion are completely different from the current equipment of the Flying Tiger Legion, which is a unit that uses new ******.
Shen Zhi's flintlock pistol was constantly improved, but limited to the level of craftsmanship of this era, without lathes, milling machines and precision machining equipment, it was difficult to make a qualified bolt-action rifle. Among other things, the processing of the barrel alone is very difficult. No alloy knives can make a good barrel at all, and the low life of the cast barrel is outrageous and unsafe.
But the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated, since he couldn't make the rifle Niu Tianci said, Shen Zhi gave full play to his imagination and finally made a large-caliber flintlock pistol. When he showed the sample to Niu Tianci, Niu Tianci patted his head, blaming his mind for being in sync with this era, how to forget the ******. As a result, a new formula for explosives, paper-based ammunition, was born. However, the firing pin firing mechanism is still under development, and if he wants to make a firing pin firing mechanism, Shen Zhi must improve the existing processing technology.
Shen Zhi is worthy of being a genius, anyway, no matter what method he used, he finally completed the development of the firing mechanism and produced 300 Dayan version ******. This gun is still very primitive compared to modern ******, and can only be fired in one shot. And it can't be reloaded in case the barrel is overheated, and despite all the faults, you have to admit that this is definitely an epoch-making superweapon.
Three hundred ****** equipped with the Shenji Battalion, and in the continuous experiment and improvement, Shen Zhi wanted to find a chance to try it in actual combat, and now the opportunity has come.
Bang bang bang, with a dull sound, Ulit's subordinates, who were in the midst of the rapid impact, screamed and fell down, and some of them were actually carried out by the impact because they were too close. The so-called ****** is a large area, which is often used in modern hunting large game, and an adult wild boar will be turned over when it shoots at a ******, let alone a human.
The soldiers of the 300 Shenji Battalion were divided into three rows, adopting the lying position, squating position, and standing posture respectively, and fired in turn under the command of the three brigade commanders. For a while, the gunfire continued, the bullets flew sideways, and the five hundred elite people who were beaten turned on their backs, and fell to the ground one by one with bloody holes all over their bodies. Ulit looked at the strange troop in front of him in surprise, and for the first time he felt panicked.
"Oh my God, what kind of weapon is this, it's terrible."
Shen Zhi stood behind the Shenji Battalion, observing the battle situation with clairvoyance, recording while watching.
"Well, the effective range is five hundred paces, and there is lethality beyond five hundred steps, and the most lethal distance is about three hundred steps. Still no, I have to tell the lord that I have to continue to develop that rifle, and the bullet has to be changed. ”
Tech maniacs are like this, in the face of the bloody battlefield, they still think of experimental data. In the face of the force in front of them, which kept making loud noises and spraying deadly bullets, Ulit couldn't hold it anymore. The dense rain of bullets is not something that can be resisted by courage, and when you encounter crossbow arrows on the battlefield, you can also resist them with heavy armor. But when you encounter ******, you have to wait for death, because when you hear the bang, you are already covered with bloody holes.
The Shenji Battalion approached step by step, and the continuous shooting did not stop for a moment. Ulit and the others had to retreat, not because they didn't want to rush, but because they couldn't. Ulit and the remnants of dozens of men retreated to the weapons test site and into a concrete bunker. Here they are finally safe for the time being.
The guards of the ordnance factory surrounded the place in a storm, and at this time, Guan Changyun, Ma Qimeng and Zhao Zilong also led the army to arrive. As soon as they saw that the ordnance factory had not been greatly damaged, especially the main building was intact, they let go of their worries.
Guan Changyun came to Shen Zhi and asked, "How is Old Shen?" Is the loss big? ”
"The Shenji Battalion has no losses, but it can't be loaded with ammunition now, and the barrel is overheated and needs to be cooled. Those wolf cubs went into the bunker, how was the city? ”
"The lord's father and mother have been killed, and the lady is about to give birth, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Grandma, these wolf cubs should be killed. Lao Guan, give me all these dozens of people, and I'll try my new equipment. ”
"Okay, they won't be able to live anyway, Yan Shuai said, even if there is a living, it will be chopped up and fed to the dogs."
"Okay, you can see, get ready for the fortification."
Boom, two elephants pulled a huge cannon and walked over slowly, and two elephants pulled a cannon, which shows that this cannon is heavy enough. Just look at the cannon rack that is actually four wheels, and after the fortified cannon is built, even Ma Qimeng was amazed.
"Old Shen, when did you build this treasure, I'm afraid this big guy can collapse a section of the city wall with one shot."
"I think so, I haven't tried it yet, so I'll try it today. Reload, put. ”
Boom, a loud bang shook the earth, and the people around the fortified artillery were shocked in an instant, and their ears buzzed, and the thick pillbox collapsed in an instant, turning into a pile of rubble.
"That's it? Just a shot? It's so enjoyable. Lao Shen asked me to put a few shots to try. ”
"No, there are only a few shells, and I still have the measurement data. Okay, let's see if those wolf cubs are all dead. ”
"Even if you don't get blown up, you'll be shocked to death."
Several guards ran towards the ruins of the bunker, but they were shot to the ground by several wolf's tooth arrows halfway through.
"It seems that the bunker is only half collapsed, and the load-bearing pillars inside are working. No, I'll try a different guy and get a thunderbolt. ”
A four-wheeled cart was pushed over, and a huge turntable was installed on the car, on which was a double-row iron frame with a small lattice, and the load-bearing part of the iron frame had a turntable and a crank handle, and Ma Qimeng didn't understand what it was used for a long time.
"Reload. The distance is two hundred paces, the elevation angle is three, and the launch. ”
I saw that with Shen Zhi's order, the craftsmen of the ordnance factory held a thick, long iron cylinder with a tail wing, and put it into a small lattice on the iron shelf, a total of six. The craftsmen quickly turned the turntable, slowly adjusted the angle with the crank, lowered the crank, locked it, and lit the fuse of the tin tube.
Whoosh, this time the sound was much quieter, six iron cylinders flew towards the bunker ruins one after another, boom, boom, explosions became one after another, and the bunker ruins became a sea of fire.
"Old Shen, is this thing specially set on fire?"
"No, it's based on the description of the lord when he was drunk, and it can fire incendiary bombs and flowering bombs. The lord said that it is most effective to deal with armored clusters, what are armored clusters? ”
"Probably a collective charge of heavy cavalry. Indeed, a thunderbolt cannon is six rounds at a time, which is much more powerful than a field artillery, and if there are hundreds of guns fired together, 100,000 iron horsemen will be wiped out in an instant, which is really a good thing. ”
"Okay, let's see if there's anyone alive this time."
This time, the guards did not approach rashly, and they slowly walked towards the ruins of the bunker with their tower shields raised. Whoosh, doo. A wolf-tooth arrow is shot accurately at the tower shield.
"Hey, there's still a living one, isn't that a slap in my face? I'll give you another awesome one. Fire dragon car, on. ”
With a bang, a fire-fighting water buggy was pushed up, and the craftsmen of the ordnance factory approached the ruins of the bunker under the cover of the guards. By this time, Ulit was the only one left alive in the rubble, but his legs had been broken and crushed by the collapsed beams. Ullit saw a strange car approaching, he didn't know what it was for, but his feelings told him that the car was extremely dangerous, and he would die a terrible death. Ullit had no strength to draw his longbow, and he picked up a wolf's tooth arrow and aimed it at his heart.
"Karalongtai."
Just as Ulit was about to stab down, with a snort, a dragon erupted from the strange car, and Ulit seemed to be thrown into the furnace, screaming as he stabbed the wolf's tooth arrow into his heart with the last of his strength.
The news of the attack on Longcheng spread throughout Dayan, and the people scolded Rong in unison, denouncing Long Xingrong for destroying the Great Wall. Long Langyue didn't understand why things were like this, she wanted to ask Huang Xin, but Huang Xin was nowhere to be found. Niu Tianci, who returned to Youzhou by water, issued an order on the Shenlong: "Kill Huang Xin and imprison Long Langyue." (To be continued.) )
