303, palm thunder and rocket (above)
Jing Wentong guò made that statement about the mechanics of war, and successfully retained his position as the envoy of the disgraced army. And the Snow Shame Army will also be the main force in the battle, because they can withstand the cold, and their mobility is very strong, so they can attack and work wonders. The meeting soon dispersed, and everyone went their separate ways to prepare the battle plan for more than a year. And now, Jingwen is responsible for managing the Snow Shame Army, and then training the Snow Shame Army, and the future battle will definitely be inseparable from him. Now Jingwen very much wants to get the merits, so that he can be qualified to marry Cheng Lin home.
After Jingwen left the palace, he immediately came to Pingyu County and held a high-level meeting of the Snow Shame Army.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has just held a meeting during the day today, and I will tell you now. I tell you that this is a top secret and cannot be told to anyone. We've all vouched for it, so don't tell it. Jingwen said.
"Jie Shuai, please speak! None of us are the kind of people with big mouths. Feng Yong said.
Jingwen looked at the three division chiefs present, and immediately said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to fight the Turks in a year or two." Moreover, this battle is a national war, and our goal is to destroy the Turks. ”
"Really?" Feng Yong asked excitedly.
Almost all of the people in the Snow Shame Army had an undying hatred with the Turks, so when everyone heard the battle, not only did they not have any fear, but they also had excitement.
"I tell you that this matter is true, and you should not tell the people below! In addition, we must conduct winter training to be able to adapt to winter operations. I can tell you that this battle is definitely going on in the winter. Jingwen said.
Hearing Jingwen's statement, everyone was excited, because they happened to be familiar with the Turkic winter climate.
"Alright, I'm here for the first purpose of delivering news, and the second purpose is to see the two firearms here!" Jingwen said.
Soon. At a special training ground in the distance, where some firearms were stacked. And one of them is round, and the outside seems to be a ball. And there is also a lead on it, which looks like a firearm to be ignited with gunpowder.
"How's this thing?" Jingwen asked.
That Yuan Hua, that is, the original Qingfeng Xiaodao Tong, immediately said: "My lord, this is palm thunder." According to the adult's design, it is used to hold it in the hand and throw it out. This is made of a thin iron shell with gunpowder in it, and when it is time to ignite, it explodes. And the gunpowder was also mixed with some broken iron nails. Used to kill and injure enemies. ”
Yuan Hua is no longer the little Taoist boy he used to be, now he is an "expert" in the study of gunpowder weapons, and he is now using it to make gunpowder according to the concept proposed by Jingwen, and the weapon is studying the method of gunpowder to kill the enemy. Originally, gunpowder was only used for ambushes, but now it can be used not only for ambushes, but also as grenades. This is also one of the most primitive uses of gunpowder, and zuò became a grenade.
Jingwen picked up a grenade and then took the fire fold. Ignited this grenade. After Jingwen lit the grenade, he immediately threw it out, throwing it for more than twenty meters.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the grenade exploded in the distance.
And the grenades of this era. Because it uses ordinary gunpowder, it is not powerful enough, and the maximum killing radius is only about five to ten meters. However, this loud sound can shock many people. Moreover. If the horses had not been trained for this kind of explosion, they would probably collapse after hearing this sound. The army that has always been good will be inexplicably defeated because of this. This is the power of the original grenade.
Jingwen led everyone to the location of the grenade explosion just now. Then I looked at the grenade. But Jingwen frowned, because this grenade explosion was different from what he imagined. This grenade exploded, but at least it split into two pieces at once, and it was not able to shatter the grenade shell into countless pieces as Jing Wen knew, and then kill and injure the enemy. If it just shatters into two pieces, how many enemies can it kill? And if the iron nails inside are all broken like this, they won't be able to exert the greatest effect!
"My lord, I can't help this! When the palm thunder shatters, it is broken into two pieces, and sometimes it can't be completely cracked at all. I've tried a lot of things, but I can't do it like what adults say, shattering into countless pieces. Is it a mistake of adults, this kind of palm thunder can't do this at all. Yuan Hua said.
Jingwen seriously recalled the appearance of the grenades in the original life, and the grenades in later generations all had grooves, which is said to increase the friction between the grenade and the palm, making the grenade more stable to hold. And he has another use, which is to increase the number of increased fragments at the moment when the grenade explodes. With these slots, the grenade can shatter into pieces when it explodes, so that the killing effect can be maximized. The current grenades are all smooth and not notched, so the effect of killing the enemy is reduced a lot. If there is only this kind of grenade broken into two pieces, it can only be used to scare people, and it cannot be used to have much actual combat effect. Once the enemy gets used to this grenade, isn't the grenade useless?
When Jingwen proposed to make a groove on the grenade shell, Yuan Hua immediately patted his head, as if he understood the reason. Yuan Hua has been working on this firearm for this period of time, and he has some experience in firearms. As soon as Jing Wen proposed this method, Yuan Hua immediately knew that this should work. Yuan Hua quickly made a new type of grenade, and then tried it.
"My lord, this grenade is very good! It was shattered into thirty or forty small pieces at once, and it would be powerful to kill the enemy! Yuan Hua said.
"Well, when the time comes, if necessary, let a company of people from the firearms battalion form grenadiers specially used to throw grenades!" Jingwen said.
"My lord, are you going to see the rocket next?" Yuan Hua asked.
"Hmmm! Check it out! Jingwen said.
In addition to proposing the theory of grenades, Jingwen also came up with the idea of rockets. An ancient rocket is actually a big firework. And making fireworks is not a difficult task for Jingwen, who has already studied chemistry in junior high school. And coupled with the hands of Yuan Hua, a person who often comes into contact with chemicals, it is even more powerful. (To be continued......)
