Chapter 883: Shandong's Fourth-Generation Artillery!
Zhu Jiajun came not only from the artillery team, but also because he was slow, and because he had to transfer new ammunition and hot air balloons. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as they arrived here, as soon as they did the old-fashioned generals and officials, they saw the hot air balloon corps, under the command of Zhu Zilong, quickly reassembled. Then it took a few more hours, filled with gas, and pulled up.
The people who went up took a large group of leaflets, and Hong Chengchou and the others who saw it didn't know why, so they had the heart to ask.
Zhu Zilong gave them one with a stroke of his hand, but after reading it, it was a propaganda leaflet for recruiting traitors.
A few eunuchs thought suspiciously, haven't I heard of the queen's side, saying that she agreed to let go of the traitor?
The answer I got was Zhu Zilong's four words. Attack the heart also!
The Qing army on the hill looked at the hot air balloon in the sky, instinctively dispersed, and then came out with a group of long-range shooters holding rockets. All the ammunition on the mountain is stored in deep pits, which is also very clever.
However, Zhu Zilong came to throw leaflets and attack his heart first.
Yagen didn't ask the people on the balloon to pull down and throw explosives, so they all flew high, and the Qing army archers looked at it for a long time, their necks were sore, but they found that they had no chance to release the arrows at all.
When some of the Qing generals were talking, pieces of paper suddenly flew in the sky, and the balloon soldiers of the Zhu family army threw down a bunch of persuasion letters.
A casual Qing soldier and a traitor soldier picked up one from the ground and looked at it. The content is as follows: "The people of Daming on the mountain, surrender, the queen has a will, spare you from death." Don't have any illusions, don't talk about conditions, surrender is the only way to survive. Look at Li Dingguo, after the first-class thief also surrendered, he still continues to be a general, what is your crime? It is born from the same root, and it is too urgent to cut each other! ”
Dolgon's face was black, and he had the leaflets gathered and burned. Then, he told the traitor soldiers that they should not believe this, it must be a conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty.
It's a pity that this kind of leaflet throws down a batch every ten minutes, and the words are becoming more and more like the real thing, and it can't be burned.
In the end, it can be clearly seen that some traitor soldiers are really tempted.
On the side of the Qing army, on the top of each mountain, the Houjin soldiers looked at the traitor soldiers beside them, and their eyes were strange. Instinctively, each of them retreated a few meters, and an eerie atmosphere spread through the crowd.
The Ming army's position retreated a few miles, but the artillery and arrows on the hill of the Qing army could not threaten the hot air balloon.
Some people who had faith in their side of the defense are now unconsciously shaken. I thought, if these things flying in the sky are not throwing propaganda leaflets, but throwing 10,000 enemies or explosives, wouldn't there be heavy casualties on my side?
When this terrifying mood reached Dorgon's ears, he hurriedly issued a decree to declare it.
The thing in the sky is called a hot air balloon, and it is something similar to a Kong Ming lantern. Affected by the force of the monsoon, the higher the pull, the more explosives are thrown, and the lower the rockets can hit, so there is no need to be afraid.
I have to say, Dolgon guessed a little bit right.
Even the plane flew too high, and the explosives thrown seemed to be thrown accurately, but in fact, it was a fraction of a centimeter, x thousands of miles.
Not to mention a simple hot air balloon, since the little brother of the giant eagle and the intelligence officer of Wanli Kill, after detecting that there is a replica of the eight-bull crossbow on the mountain of Houjin. Zhu Zilong gave up. Let the hot air balloon regiment launch an air raid regardless of the dead and wounded.
The eight-ox crossbow is another name for the three-bow bed crossbow. Song Zeng Gongliang et al. "Wujing General Essentials of the Former Collection: Instrument Diagram": "Three bows and crossbows, the first two bows, and the last bow, are also known as 'eight bull crossbows'. ”
Known as "one gun and three swords and arrows", the arrows are like javelins, and they can be nailed directly into the city wall when fired at close range, and the siege soldiers can climb up and show their might on the battlefield.
God knows how TM's post-gold side succeeded in modeling. It can only be said that they are finally talented on their side!
Of course, if Zhu Zilong wants to imitate this thing, he can also do it.
It's just that he's always valued thermal weapons, and this temporary place to go.
Besides, in the final analysis, this thing is still not as practical as artillery shells. It's just that if you tilt a little angle, because of the attack distance of the weight, it seems to have no other effect except that it can barely be used as a semi-air defense weapon.
However, Zhu Zilong's air force is also a copycat, which is called a copycat hitting a copycat, and it happens to be a rat trap with each other.
Unless he is willing to fight hard, Zhu Zilong can't use a hot air balloon to launch an air raid without any scruples.
Of course, the balloon flew high, but the accuracy of the bomb was difficult, and it was not completely without advantages, in general. As long as Zhu Zilong is willing to expose his hole cards immediately, he can still beat Houjin out of in minutes.
However, after looking at them, Hong Chengchou and Zhu Zilong just arranged for the ground artillery regiment of the Zhu family army to start the operation.
The distance between the garrison and the mountain is only about five miles less.
At this distance, Kong Youde's few cannons, if they attack desperately, the cannonballs can barely reach it. But just as a bullet is not a threat after it flies a few hundred meters, when a shell flies more than five miles, it is basically just a solid iron ball.
On the hot air balloon, the layout of the platoon on the head of Houjin Mountain was clearly seen, and after the flag was reported, Zhu Zilong smiled proudly and said: "Start shelling!" ”
With Zhu Zilong's order, the fourth-generation Shandong artillery began to prepare to fire.
Shandong's fourth-generation artillery is similar to the French 1897 Type 75 field gun, but the appearance is still similar to the general's cannon.
It is only that the barrel of the gun can be slid on the cradle by means of a guide wheel, which is mounted on the gun carriage, which is connected to the piston rod in the reentry barrel. (It is all modern materials, and no one in the Ming Dynasty can imitate them, which is equivalent to Zhu Zilong forcibly letting the henchmen of the artillery regiment learn how to use and maintain them, but they are not built in the Ming Dynasty.) )
When the rear of the gun is seated at the end, it returns to its original position under the reaction of compressed air.
Zhu Zilong is equivalent to a general, the world's first cannon that appeared more than a hundred years later, and the old general cannon that came to fight Houjin in advance.
Members: 6. Weight: 1,544kg. Rate of fire: 10 rounds / min (maximum).
Range: 5550m (grenade)/6000m (grenade), 4500m flowering. That's right, it's no longer a solid bullet!
Muzzle velocity: 300 m/s (1,600 ft/s)!
"Hit me hard! Grandpa Guo is waiting for our performance! The commanders of the Zhu family's artillery battalion and the thousands of generals looked hideous and shouted at their subordinates.
Hong Chengchou and the old generals of the Ming Dynasty looked at Zhu Jiajun's fourth-generation artillery with curiosity for some reason, thinking that this small cannon like the Tiger Squat Cannon, so far away, what role could it play?
However, it was the "Tiger Squat Cannon" in front of them, and after putting strange shells one after another, the ignition line was missing.
Just as they continued to wonder why, they heard a bang.
The rear-loading Daming cottage cannon, or the firing pin type, fired one after another.
I saw that orange-red flames rushed out at the muzzle of what they thought was the "Tiger Squat Cannon".
Then countless orange-red flames turned into starlight, one after the other filled the sky. Like a bright and dazzling skyfire meteor, roaring away.
