Truth is only within the range of a cannon.

Rand has always believed in this saying, especially after inexplicably crossing over to this ghost place, and he has become even more convinced that force is the basis of everything.

The scarcity of troops is not a fatal weakness.

Advanced weapons are the way he can outperform other forces, and sometimes the number of troops does not determine the outcome of a war, and crowd tactics often do not work when facing opponents with strong equipment and weapons.

Think of the scene of using flesh and blood to resist the Tiger tank, tsk.

The army is fine, loyal, not many.

Rand understood this very early, the number of elite troops of the Holy See is not very large, as the supreme commander of the five powers, the Pope has less than 100,000 troops in his hands, but the Holy See Iron Guard named after the "Scarlet Crusader" has the world's top combat power, they are uniformly equipped with expensive plate armor and chain mail, this kind of armor requires a very demanding manufacturing process, to ensure that every joint and even every finger can be unaffected.

As the Holy See, which took over most of the wealth of the Kingdom of Peru, they possessed unimaginable wealth and wealth, and used this wealth to build their own armies in order to consolidate their dominance.

Rand's classroom teaching was not without effect, in fact, the craftsmen studied very seriously, because Lante promised them, who can master the development and use of new technologies in the shortest time, can get the position of foreman, enjoy double pay and treatment.

Under the heavy reward, the craftsmen worked hard, and even before going to bed at night, they carried the cylinder operation sequence with their fingers on their backs in the bed.

......

When rocket artillery was first invented, the accuracy was poor, and the weight was very large, the gun body plus the accelerant weighed almost 40 kilograms, the heavier the gun body, the more materials were used, and this kind of * could not be carried by a single person at all, the maneuverability was extremely poor, and the flight balance of the rocket artillery that relied on the gyroscopic effect of the turbojet was not stable enough, these are all areas that need to be improved.

After a short period of sleepless days, Rand optimized the parameters of the rocket artillery, first of all, he reduced the combustion chamber in the rocket artillery to reduce the weight of the shell as much as possible, after repeated measurements, 107 mm, 19 kilograms This data has been close to perfect, if the weight of the shell continues to be reduced, then it is bound to reduce the amount of filling, so as a result, the firing range is bound to be weakened a lot.

In fact, Rand was able to make more elaborate rocket launchers, compared to 50 mm and 70 mm, but after testing, the power of these two types of warheads was too small to meet Rand's expectations, so he decisively cut it off.

In terms of power, Rand chose an anti-recoil device to propel the launch of rocket artillery, this power plant is simple to manufacture, and powerful, and most importantly, it is extremely convenient to launch, only a strong soldier can carry a light gun mount and a *, and in the case of skill, it is completely possible to complete a strike against the enemy by himself.

All in all, the technical content of this kind of weapon with * as the power and main lethality is far inferior to the pistols or repeating guns equipped with free bolt machines in later generations, and its main problem is still in accuracy, in the absence of a gun barrel, it can only rely on the tail and adjust the gun carriage to hit the bombing area.

During this time, the boring knives responsible for drilling and grinding were damaged very quickly, usually due to improper operation by the craftsmen, and the boring process was very cumbersome and expensive, which made Rand distressed.

The cost of these molds is quite cheap, but the boring cutter is really expensive.

There is no way, before the craftsmen have mastered these techniques, the loss is unavoidable, what he can do is to train the craftsmen to deal with various emergencies as soon as possible and minimize the loss.

"My lord, word has come from the fortress wall, there have been scattered barbarians for the last two days, they are hiding out of the range of the ballista," Payne followed behind Rand, "they are observing the gaps in the fortress wall, although I have instructed the craftsmen to repair the wall as soon as possible, but due to the weather, the marble that acts as a binder cannot effectively stick to the stone. ”

"The barbarians have long since assembled their ranks, and according to the Rangers, their tribe has been unified, and I think it won't be long before they will storm the town of Cabins. Rand put down the cannonball in his hand, wiped his hands with a cloth, took a deep breath and said, "After the last battle, the beast tide has been much quieter. ”

"Barbarians are more difficult to deal with than beasts, and their sheer size and simple intelligence are enough to give a headache. Payne nodded and said, "Defenses like traps or stakes won't work at all. ”

Payne's heart was heavy, if the number of barbarians exceeded two hundred, then the town of Cabins would be difficult to hold.

"Don't worry too much. Rand laughed, "Wisdom makes them strong, and it makes them fearful and afraid. ”

"We only need to kill a quarter, no, a fifth of them, and they will have a strong fear, I don't believe that a newly unified group can be very cohesive, blood may inspire them to avenge their comrades, but more likely, they will flee the battlefield in a hurry for fear of death. ”

"Cut off the head of the slain barbarian and hang it on the wall of the fortress, so that they can see what fate will happen to the invaders. Rand commanded.

The tradition of hanging enemy heads outside the city walls has a long history, and although Rand considers this behavior a bit barbaric, he has to admit that it has a clear effect on the psychological blow of the enemy and the morale of the other side.

According to rumors, Feynman, the "Devil's Duke" who enjoys a great reputation in the west of the mainland, once killed 20,000 enemies outside his castle and hung their corpses on sharp wooden stakes.

War transforms people.

Rand snorted softly.

Hehe, war makes people perverted.

He closed his eyes gently, in this environment, no one who is full of compassion can live longer, only an iron heart and will can support himself to the end.

Beheading or mutilation.

As long as they can ensure their own interests and the people.

You can't do too much about the enemy.
