CHAPTER XLII - ARTILLERY
……
In the following months, Zhang Yun took Tang Chunlai and more than a dozen scouts to start the hell training mode.
I gave them all the things I could think of......
During this period, some people returned to the team one after another, but the number of people who participated in the training remained only a dozen or so.
Because there are too many non-combat attrition, the new source of troops cannot be replenished. As a result, the scale has never come up.
But to Zhang Yun's relief, at least these dozen or so people, under the fact that they did not hesitate to buy all kinds of precious medicinal materials for supplementation, have basically reached the level of the so-called king of soldiers in later generations!
To some extent, they have basically reached the level that Zhang Yun wants them to achieve. At least it's no problem for them to bring in new recruits now......
The bright moon was hanging high, and Zhang Yun stood in the tent for the last time to give a lecture to more than a dozen people, "Because the battle of Sichuan is coming to an end, Poor Dao must go to Sichuan, so Tang Chun will train you next......"
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Chunlai again and found that after a month of hellish training. This little kid, who is only a teenager, already has a little determination on his face at this time. I can't help but feel more at ease.
In the end, Zhang Yun left a lot of cultural courses and told Tang Chunlai to supervise everyone to do a good job.
When I return to Yunnan from Sichuan again, I will conduct a civil and military assessment, and once someone does not meet the standard!
"Hey......
Leaving behind a threat, Zhang Yun immediately turned around and left, packed his bags and prepared to go to Sichuan.
……
Panzhihua.
When Zhang Yun just arrived here, Li Dingguo had been waiting here for several days according to the agreement!
After meeting the two again and greeting each other, they went straight to the point.
Zhang Yundao: "The drawings that Poor Dao gave you not long ago, have you already made the real thing?" Can you demonstrate the power of the poor road......"
Seeing that Zhang Yun was so concerned about this matter, Li Dingguo didn't talk nonsense, and led the way directly to the artillery position erected on the top of the mountain.
Zhang Yun was stunned, "This has already been built?" I muttered two sentences in my heart, it won't be a defective product, right? ”
Seeing that Li Dingguo didn't answer, he could only move to follow......
"This hill is two or three miles away from the opposite hill, and with these sample artillery under our feet, it is no problem to attack the target on the opposite hill, but the accuracy is still poor." ”
After Li Dingguo finished speaking, he patted the steel smoothbore gun in front of him.
In fact, there is no need for Li Dingguo to explain it, Zhang Yun has already read all six artillery pieces, but he has never said anything, anyway, the donkey is drawn out for a walk!
"Boom... Boom ......"
Seeing that Zhang Yun was as noncommittal as ever, Li Dingguo also somewhat understood what Zhang Yun meant, so he ordered the six artillery pieces that had been prepared for a long time to fire one after another.
With a few loud noises, the entire mountain top was immediately filled with a smell of gunsmoke, and Zhang Yun couldn't wait for the smoke and dust to dissipate. endured the pungent smell of gunsmoke and took out his homemade binoculars......
At first glance, Zhang Yun's nose was crooked, and none of the six artillery pieces hit a target several meters wide. The most recent shell was several meters away from the target!
But Li Dingguo next to him was smiling, and when the smoke cleared, he saw Zhang Yun's solemn face. Puzzled, he asked, "What else is the Taoist chief not satisfied with?" With such a huge power, it must be invincible for our future siege of the city! ”
"Dao Chief, look at that solid bullet down, it hit a two-foot-wide hole in the ground, if this power is converted to the city wall, and then concentrate a dozen such artillery, even if it is a strong city like Jinling, Lao Tzu has the confidence to break it."
Zhang Yun shook his head when he heard Li Dingguo's words. Said: "King Li, I can't agree with what you say, no matter how powerful it is, it must hit the target, otherwise it will be a good-looking firework......"
"Ahem......"
Before Zhang Yun finished speaking, Li Dingguo coughed again and again, until Zhang Yun stopped, Li Dingguo said: "How many times have you told the Taoist, why do you need to be so polite to Li, as far as Li knows, the Taoist may not be polite to that Chongzhen, why is he like this to Li?" ”
Zhang Yun smiled a little embarrassedly, and then continued: "Okay, then the poor road will call you Li Dashuai, but then again, how can Chongzhen, the dog who guards the household, compare with you Li Dashuai?" ”
"There is also the fallacy of Li Dashuai, Poor Dao does not agree, but you only have such conditions now, and the rifled cannon must not be able to be manufactured, so the quasi-head Poor Dao of this kind of artillery will not say anything."
"But you must remember that the drawings and principles of those rifled guns given to you by Poor Dao must be manufactured as soon as the technical conditions are ripe......"
Li Dingguo listened to Zhang Yun's tone today, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. However, seeing that Zhang Yun's interest was quite high, he didn't say anything about losing his interest!
Next, the two of them watched the artillerymen fire several times from the hill, whether it was solid or grenades. Zhang Yun was dissatisfied with them.
But there is no way, now there is only such conditions, at least one, there is no way to make the rifling in the barrel......
On the way down the mountain, Li Dingguo kept explaining the data of this artillery with a piece of paper, and from time to time took out the data on the renderings given by Zhang Yun to compare.
In the end, a conclusion was drawn that compared with the so-called Napoleonic cannon made of bronze, this kind of artillery imitated by our Onishi military steel has been greatly improved in terms of weight, range and power. It is fully guaranteed to be able to maneuver in the rainforest. Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, there must be a dirt road......
As for Li Dingguo's half-show-off and half-serious narration, Zhang Yun always only replied with one word. Well!
It didn't take long for Li Dingguo, who was excited, to understand a little, and then thought of some conjectures on the top of the mountain.
Li Dingguo decided to ask straight to the point, so as to reassure himself.
"Dao Chief, Li was on the mountain before, I saw that you have always had an urgent mentality, as if you want to teach everything to Li, and then think of some of your urgent actions in the past month, Li took the liberty of asking, are you leaving Li?"
After asking Li Dingguo, he stared at Zhang Yun's face, but Zhang Yun was stunned. I didn't expect that Li Dingguo would be so sensitive!
But after thinking about it, there are really things that should not be hidden from him. So Zhang Yun nodded. Then he admonished: "You don't have to talk about this speculation to others. ”
"And in the next period of time, Poor Dao will teach you a lot of things, ideologically, technically, in short, you have to keep it in mind......"
