"Whoosh-" One * shot along the parabola towards the dirt slope target position a hundred meters away, and nailed it five or six meters in front of the target position!

"Whoosh-" Before everyone could see the effect of the shot, the second* was fired.

The crowd was overwhelmed, and their eyes moved back and forth between the crossbow truck and the target position, not only to observe the operation of the repeater when it was launched, but also to pay attention to the air attitude of * and whether it hit the target.

"Whoosh-whoosh-" One * after another*, the sharp whistle pierced the sky, shocking everyone present, ten rounds* were continuously sent in a minute and a half minutes, the main controller immediately flicked it with his hand, and the empty * tube fell to the ground, and then shouted "Change the tube!" ”

The two assistants on the side of the ballista immediately lifted the * barrel and grabbed the ballista to the ballista, and the installation was completed in a few seconds, with a cry of "In place!" ", and with another "whoosh-" sound, the eleventh shot* shot out again!

"Stop!" Without waiting for the main controller to send another one*, Altai shouted a shout.

I saw Altai shake his head, as if thinking about this, his face was depressed, and then said: "The range did not reach 100 meters, none of the eleven shots hit the target, and most of them* basically fell at a distance of ten meters in front of the target, this work is considered a failure!" ”

Higg smiled, and then asked Shante beside him, "General Shante, what do you think?" ”

"It's perfect!" Shante didn't come back to his senses in shock, and was called out by Higg before he said in a trance: "If you don't reach the range, of course you can't hit the target!" But this is not a problem, you can adjust the launch elevation angle of the ballista, the current shooting elevation angle is estimated to be just over 20 degrees, but if you increase the elevation angle, there is absolutely no problem to reach a range of 120 meters! ”

"Nonsense!" Altai said, "The elevation angle has been increased, although the range can be increased, but the trajectory of the * will increase too much, and more energy will be lost in the air, and even if the range requirements can be met, the lethality will be reduced a lot!" ”

Shante said: "Master, you can't be too demanding, and you can't do everything in the workshop. Since the range is required, of course part of the lethality will be sacrificed! This heavy weapon also meets the requirements of ultra-long range and fast fire, even if you sacrifice a little lethality, it is not impossible! Nothing is perfect! Master, I think this piece of equipment fully meets the needs of the battlefield! ”

"What about precision?" Altai continued to sneer, "If you can't get close to flat fire, there will be a great loss of accuracy!" ”

Shante said with a smile: "Master Altai, you are unique in the field of manufacturing, but the master may not be an expert in the use of the things you make!" ”

Shante said, ignoring Altai's disgruntled look, stepped forward and said to the operators participating in the test: "You are all crossbow riders carefully selected by me, and you use ordinary ballistas well, so let's see if this new guy uses them well!" There are nine shots left*, you make adjustments first, I want you to have at least one gun hit the target! ”

"General!" The lead commander said, "If it can be adjusted, if less than three* hit the target, a few of us are willing to receive military law!" ”

Higg smiled: "If three of them can hit the target, this commander will give all of you a first-class meritorious service, and the military rank will be promoted to three levels in a row!" ”

"Marshal, is this true?" Barely believing his ears, one of the assistants said in disbelief, "But please give us the first three* without firing in a row, we need to adjust the ballista according to the first three*!" ”

"There is no joke in the army!" Higg said with a smile, "According to what you said, the first three shots are single, and the last six shots are fired in succession, whether it is the first three shots or the last six shots, as long as three shots hit the target, Ben Shuai will definitely not break his word!" ”

Without saying a word, the five operators immediately ran to the ballista, and began to adjust the launch angle of the ballista while discussing.

A few minutes later, after the proofreading was completed, and without reporting to Higg and the others, the main controller sat on the ballista, stepped on the motive with both feet, and "whoosh" The * cut through the sky again with a swish, and excited away along the more curved parabola towards the target position. * Fly in mid-air at high speed, then go straight to the target, and fly over the target, landing directly about seven or eight meters behind the target, stirring up a burst of dust.

The five operators continued to fine-tune the repeater and fired again, this time again at the back of the target, less than three meters from the center of the target.

After missing two shots, the sweaty operator adjusted the angle nervously again, and after the off-string * slashed through the sky, it finally landed in the center of the circle drawn with lime on the slope, and firmly rooted in the dirt.

Everyone cheered in unison!

All the operators also showed a knowing smile, and then the main controller stepped on the motor bracket gear again in a row, "whoosh-" sounded, * concentrated on the target again, and everyone had no time to get excited, and "whoosh-" "whoosh-" sounded, and the ballista continued to excite, but unfortunately the subsequent several * basically fell two or three meters in front of the target, and none of them hit. The experienced observer immediately fine-tuned the angle, and "whoosh" the last one* shot out, which would undoubtedly be a lot of disappointment if this one* didn't hit the target.

The peculiarity of this repeater tank is that it allows the elevation angle to be fine-tuned during successive firing, and the angle of fire in parallel directions can be adjusted at will in the range of plus or minus fifteen degrees, if the repeater tank loses this maneuverability, then it is completely meaningless! Firing ten * in a row all hit the same target, which is of little significance in real combat.

The last* hit the bull's-eye as everyone watched, followed by cheers of excitement.

A few operators who were shocked into a cold sweat smiled again. Immediately, several people came to Hig and Shante and said, "Lord Marshal, I was a little big just now, but fortunately I didn't disgrace my life!" The power of this repeater chariot is simply amazing! But we found that in the control, a single shot and a continuous shot can not hit the same target, after the third shot, the fourth shot is the first hit of the continuous shot, until the adjustment to the last ninth shot to hit the target, in fact, the real burst hit is the adjusted ninth, because the fourth shot is the first shot of the burst, can be regarded as a single shot......"

"I don't want to hear what you guys say!" Higg smiled, "How to understand the habits of the repeater chariot, that's your business, in fact, you have achieved three hits, I will definitely not break my word!" ”

"Can you really be promoted three levels in a row?"

"Where is it just level three?" Shante said with a smile, "A few of you will be the chief instructors of the crossbow chariots, which is equivalent to the level of deputy commanders, but I need you to train at least fifty groups of combat units within eight days, that is, two hundred and fifty people, and you can choose any manpower in the army, including my lieutenant general, can be your subordinates!" But at present, there is only one ballista for teaching, and how to train is your business! ”

"Lord Xie, the lowly rank will do his best!" The master controller said.

"It's not about trying, it's about getting it done!" Higg said solemnly, "Your mission is directly related to the success or failure of the defense of the Giscoll fortress, and the commander does not require you to train them to be good players like you, but at least they must be close to today's level!" Ben Shuai knows that the main control hand, observation hand and auxiliary hand are easy to find, but the mechanic is not easy to find in the army, Ben Shuai will discuss with the Altai master, let him send someone to assist you, train some mechanics, so that there will not be too many shortcomings! In a word, after completing the task, Ben Shuai will remove the sub-word of your deputy commander-in-chief's rank, and in addition to this military merit promised by Ben Shuai, I will give you an additional addition! ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" The five cheered excitedly.

"Hmph, there are still so many things in my workshop that have not been completed, and you have assigned me the task of training mechanics again, are you going to exhaust me to death this old man?" Altai, who had lost his face, said to Higg with an unhappy face, "Besides, this tank still needs to be improved slightly, and I will take it back to the workshop to make adjustments!" ”

"Old man, you are really wronged by a good person!" Higg smiled, "The task assigned to you to train mechanics is for your sake, old man!" You think, the work that you were not satisfied with originally played a perfect role in these big soldiers. Did the master think that the mechanic should only work in the workshop, and that the things produced should not be taken into account by the user's own feelings? How can such a mechanic grow? Only by experiencing the effect of using the finished work can it be slowly improved in the production process, isn't it? Since the old man of this ballista has ideas for improvement, wouldn't it be better to integrate those improved ideas into the repeater chariot produced later, so as not to delay production or training? Maybe they can give you other detailed advice on your production! Do you still think those big-headed soldiers are simple? ”

Seeing that Altai's face was full of unhappiness, Lan Xian'er immediately smiled and said: "Master, your work ultimately needs to be operated by soldiers to reflect its true value, and only those soldiers can really understand the excellence of your work!" If the master doesn't believe it, Lan Xian'er makes a bet with the master, if the proposal to modify the repeater chariot is accepted during training or actual combat, master, you need to pay the proposer 100 gold coins for each suggestion, how about it? I'm sure you'll lose a whole year's worth of booze, maestro! ”

"Wow, wow, wow!" Altai said angrily, "Miss Blue Fairy, you have gradually become bad with this kid, and you have buried me, an old man!" Well, I've made up my mind, I don't believe that my Altai work has so many flaws that it can cost me a whole year! ”

Higg smiled and said to the operators, "Did you hear what the master said?" Madame has found you a shortcut to get rich! ”

"Don't be too happy, pay attention to read the operation and maintenance regulations carefully!" Altai also said to several operators, "Be sure to remember that if you fire more than fifty* in a row, you must replace the bowstring, otherwise it will cause the bowstring to be irrecoverable, and the tank will be scrapped!" ”

"Yes, Master!"

"Oh, it's not early, there's still a repeater chariot that hasn't been tested, Noah is waiting over there in a hurry!" Altai hurriedly said.

"Then go ahead, the repeater chariot bow and arrow cart is our real killer weapon! Hey! Higg said confidently.
