"This one doesn't have an accurate head?" Zhao Yun discovered a very important problem, whether this thing hits or not is completely a matter of luck!

"No! My brother once said that if you don't have the right head, the enemy is more afraid! Wu Xiaoya patted the cannon.

Zhao Yun thought to himself, "Instead, you're more afraid?" Makes sense! You see that the muzzle of the cannon is not facing this direction, but the shell is fired to the right, and the next shot, it may be fired to the left. Thinking about the enemy standing in front of the cannon is indeed terrifying! ”

"Wait!" Seeing that the artillery was about to fire a third cannon, Zhao Yun stopped them.

Ten minutes later

Zhao Yun handed them a special shell.

Now the cannonball has been tied to a round wooden board the same size as the muzzle, looking at everyone puzzled, Zhao Yun didn't explain much, "Try again!" "Watch as the artillerymen stuffed this particular shell into the barrel.

"Tom!" There was another puff of white smoke, accompanied by a loud bang, and a fist-sized hole appeared again in the wooden target fifty meters opposite the cannon.

"Huh!" In this shooting, everyone found that the shooting accuracy of this earthen cannon has improved.

"Try a few more times!" Without waiting for Zhao Yun to speak, Wu Xiaoya directly ordered the artillery to open fire.

"Tom!" "Tom!" "Tom!" It was fired three times in a row, and each time the shell tied to the wooden board could be fired at the target, although there was still a certain deviation, but compared with not being able to hit the target, the shooting accuracy was much improved.

"Boss Zhao, why is this?" Wu Xiaoya asked curiously, although the title between the two has changed, but the relationship between Wu Xiaoya and Zhao Yun does not seem to be estranged, but because Zhao Yun stayed in the mountain for a few days, the relationship between the two has become closer.

"Don't sue you now, and then sue you later!" Zhao Yun knew that although this was only a small wooden board, it would involve a series of principles such as aeronautics to explain it clearly, and for Wu Xiaoya, who could be slightly literate, it was no less than listening to heavenly books. I can only bring it along and explain it later.

After the solid bullet was tested, the effect of the scattered bullet was tested again, and this time the effect was significantly better than that of the solid bullet, and this time even orange fireworks were spit out from the muzzle. Wu Xiaoya forgot to ask questions for a while.

The effect of the iron-core wooden shell cannon shooting out with scattered projectiles makes the opposite target full of pockmarks and pits, but there are no iron eggs to penetrate the wooden target. It can be seen that the power of this thing is still not good, but it is still good to defend against close enemies.

One morning, until noon, a total of more than 40 cannons were fired in the back mountain, and Zhao Yun, who was shocked, still had rumbling cannons in his ears when he ate.

Tests have proved that the twelve-pounder cannon is powerful and has a long firing range, so it is a good choice to form a high-end match with the iron-core wooden shell gun. As for the mighty general cannon of the Qing Dynasty, forget it, Zhao Yun is afraid that it will blow up!

But after lunch, there was something good, grenades!

That's right, this is the grenade developed by Zhao Yun and invited fireworks and firecrackers from other places to make zuò. It is divided into long-handled grenades, that is, tactical grenades; Short grenades are called defensive grenades.

The grenade has been around since the Song Dynasty, and it was called the "Thunderbolt Fireball" at that time, which was used to release poisonous smoke or set fire, and its secondary function was to explode and injure the enemy. The power of the grenade is determined by the gunpowder inside it, and the gunpowder in Zhao Yun's batch of grenades is a high-explosive Nobel brand bought from Shanghai. The power is huge, and after the camp can be produced, it will be mass-produced.

Wu Xiaoya looked at the grenade and frowned, "What's wrong?" Any questions? "This afternoon's test, Zhao Yun was not going to bring her, but since Zhao Yun came, she is a relatively idle person in the cottage, so she can't resist her curiosity and come over to take a look, "No, I've seen this kind of similar thing, but it's much bigger than yours, like a small wine bottle, why is this one of yours so small?" Wu Xiaoya asked curiously.

"The goods in this are different, the gunpowder in this one is more powerful, and besides, it's too heavy to throw away!"

Seeing Wu Xiaoya's suspicious look, "You don't believe it?" Look at that! I'll have someone throw one for you! "Zhao Yun didn't dare to take out these three axes to offer treasures, but there were many capable people in the camp. One of the spear throwers was designated as the grenade thrower, and at once threw a long-handled grenade fifty meters away.

In that place, when he was eating at noon before, Zhao Yun first asked people to set up a few scarecrows in the horizontal and vertical places, and then asked people to find a few wooden planks, string the two planks with ropes, and hang them on the scarecrow's neck, so that the humanoid target wearing armor was completed.

When the grenade was thrown in the middle of the scarecrow, it didn't explode immediately, still "Shh After waiting for two or three seconds, "Boom!" The sound was like a thunderclap, and Wu Xiaoya, who was not mentally prepared, took a few steps back, and rolled Zhao Yunzhen's blood, which had never expected the explosion, and her ears buzzed, "This Nobel brand thing is really genuine!" It seems that the quality of the things sold by the foreigners to the foreigners is different from the things sold to the Chinese! ”

When the people on the shooting range came to their senses, Zhao Yun and the others slowly approached the scarecrow of the test, and the air was full of the strong smell of fireworks and the burnt smell of straw and wooden planks. The scarecrows that were scattered in a scattered form had been scattered all over the place, and four or five meters from the center of the explosion, none of the scarecrows were intact, and out of this range, the scarecrows were also put down by the shock wave.

"How? You alright! Zhao Yun looked at the surprised Wu Xiaoya and asked, thinking that if this gunpowder was bundled into an explosive package, the power would be enough to blow up the city gate.

Wu Xiaoya was confused for a long time before she came to her senses from the shock, "Brother Zhao, is this really thrown with your hands?" ”

"Ugh!" Zhao Yun thought about a lot of questions that Wu Xiaoya would ask, but he really didn't think of this, "Didn't you watch my people throw?" ”

"Did you really throw it by hand? How can that be more powerful than a cannonball? ”

"This?" Zhao Yun was depressed again, he couldn't explain nothing, but to explain, it was a long story, and he needed to make a long story short.

Since the construction of the castle, the castle has been able to produce the Miè Destroyer, a man who resists the powder keg. Powder kegs also appeared in the arsenal and became the standard weapon. Zhao Yun once wanted to develop landmines, or buy some mines from abroad. However, the mines of this era were basically used against the infantry, and the power was not great, and it was difficult to achieve the effect of the night when he was attacked in Zhoucun, and only by burying four or five hundred catties of gunpowder in the ground like that day could such an effect be achieved.

As a result, Zhao Yun lost interest in these old-fashioned mines, and grenades became the focus of Zhao Yun's development. Foreign high-explosive gunpowder was adopted, the power of the grenade was acceptable, and immediately after the completion of the test, they were equipped with their own, spear-throwers, turning them into grenadiers.

In Wu Xiaoya's envious gaze, Zhao Yun tried another grenade, which was more powerful than a long-handled grenade, and Zhao Yun was still disgraced by the dust raised thirty or forty meters away. However, after only experimenting with these two things, it is not over, and the next thing is the main event.

Gun grenades and individual guns!

Gun grenades first appeared at the end of the 16th century, and in the 17th century there were grenades fired with black powder. At the beginning of the 20th century, gun grenades were fired with an empty cartridge using a grenade with a tail rod, inserted directly into the muzzle.

Zhao Yun used the French gun and grenade at that time, and this thing was taken out by Zhao Yun from the arsenal under the command of General Deng, and he didn't take cannons and other weapons at that time, but only took cannonballs, so this thing was also brought out by Zhao Yun. Of course, the French grenade was replaced by a new product in the camp, and it was much more powerful than the original French grenade.

With the grenade, the musketeer had another means of attack, making up for the fact that grenades could not be used with muskets.

However, the grenade is a direct fire, so it still needs to be equipped with some grenadiers modified by the spearthrower.

As for the individual cannon, this is what Zhao Yun saw in the military museum, and some of it was remembered because of the tour guide's key introduction, and later found the blacksmith in Zhou Village and began to imitate it. This thing also has a name, the "English Crossbow".

As for why Zhao Yun didn't choose the grenadiers and mortars that were very famous in World War II? That's because Zhao Yun didn't listen carefully when he visited these two things, he only saw the appearance and what the internal structure was, and he really didn't know. And this thing is because of its special appearance, which Zhao Yun remembers.

This thing resembles a bow and crossbow, and Zhao Yun decided to ration it to the elite crossbowmen who use the bow and crossbow. The English crossbow is actually the British infantry anti-tank launcher PIAT, which was invented by the British during World War II. At the beginning of World War II, the original anti-tank rifles and various anti-tank grenades of the British were very limited in their power against targets such as German tanks, so a new type of anti-tank weapon was developed. Although the British knew nothing about anti-tank rockets at the time, they developed a catapult infantry anti-tank launcher that resembled a mortar.

The point is that it is a catapult launcher, not a gunpowder launch, which is why Zhao Yun adopted it. The caliber of this guy reached 90mm, and if it was advanced with gunpowder, it would be a cannon.

When striking a single target such as a tank, the effective firing range is 100m, and when dealing with fixed large targets, the effective firing range can reach about 300m, and the maximum firing range can reach 700m. It is generally a direct fire, but it can also be fired like a mortar.

Think of a team of 40 men armed with grenades and English crossbows, which in a frontal field is equivalent to a team with 40 mobile guns. It is estimated that any opponent will be enough for them to drink a pot.

"I'm leaving, I've been out long enough, and if I don't go back, they'll come looking for me. Now this place is still used for military training, and if you train your team well, it will come in handy when you have something in the future! "Zhao Yun sued Wu Xiaoya after the gun test.

After Wu Xiaoya heard it, she seemed very calm, "I know! I hope you can come back soon, they don't have your bullet pressure, I'm afraid I'll take them apart again. ”

"Hehe, I left you two hundred! They are all equipped with "Hanyang-made", and they have left you 200 in the warehouse, and then you will teach them marksmanship in the cottage first, and when you are done, you will notify me! "Zhao Yun feels good about Wu Xiaoya, a little girl, but she has to bear such a big burden at such a young age, and the responsibility is really not light!

Several masters learned that Zhao Yun was leaving, and sent them all the way to the foot of the mountain. After they left, Zhao Yun, who was standing at the foot of the mountain, watched Wu Xiaoya and them disappear in the mountain, "With a team of four hundred who can listen to your orders, it is estimated that they can save your life in the troubled times, hey!" The future of this trip is uncertain, and I hope there will be a chance to meet next time! After speaking, he took the cavalry team and went to Zhou Village.
