Chapter 100: Artillery and Education
In the fortress, Mr. Skillful is waving his tentacles and throwing stones at the warriors of the flower planters. This was an exercise organized by Sun Licheng to test the results of the recent training.
Mr. Skillful threw the stones very accurately and quickly, and from time to time the screams came from the battle array of the flower planters, and then someone fell to the ground. Because there is a magic array for healing, Sun Licheng is not worried about his subordinates being injured at all, as long as he does not die, all injuries can be healed quickly.
Faced with the raindrops, Little Medusa used the weapon in her hand to dispel the stones while supervising the formation of the warriors. As soon as he noticed someone flinching, he ran over and whipped his big tail hard, causing the unruly guy to scream.
Soon, the troops marched to about a hundred meters from the wooden fortress, and there were only fifteen men left in the entire battle formation.
"Stand ...... Definitely!"
With a command from Vena, the remaining warriors stood on their feet and quickly filled the vacant seats, and then began to shoot at the fortress under the command of Little Medusa.
At this time, Mr. Skillful had already withdrawn from the fortress and flew back to Sun Licheng's side. Listening to the continuous gunshots and looking at the flying sawdust on the fortress, he said to Sun Licheng: "This kind of combat method can indeed make up for the shortcomings of the goblin's lack of combat effectiveness, but it is not easy to deal with large demonic beasts. The power of the Flower One Rifle is difficult to penetrate the skin of that high-level magical beast to deal with cluster targets, and the number of rifles is insufficient now. ”
Sun Licheng saw that the chaotic fortress had not collapsed, nodded and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Mr. Skillful replied, "We have a lot of magic crystal cannons that we can use here." ”
Sun Licheng nodded, but then shook his head.
Although the magic crystal cannon is good, the consumption of magic crystals is too large. Sun Licheng remembered that in every major war on the earth, the number of cannonballs was shot out in the tens of millions. Although there are many magic crystals found in the underground fortress, there are more places to use, and it is really heart-wrenching to consume such a cost. In addition, the Crystal Cannon mainly uses rays to hit enemies, and is not as effective against buildings as fortresses, and is not as good as throwing stones at swarm targets. Therefore, Sun Licheng felt that the troops could only use the magic crystal cannon as an auxiliary weapon.
After thinking about it for a while, Sun Licheng finally made a decision and equipped the troops with gunpowder artillery.
In the design of the artillery, Sun Licheng directly abandoned the ancient front-loading bronze cannon, and instead aimed at the Franc machine gun.
As a traditional artillery variety in China, the Franc cannon has been in service from the date of introduction to the Anti-Japanese War, and it can definitely be regarded as a great achievement. On the earth, because of the limited technology and manufacturing process at that time, the range and power of the Franc cannon were not large, but here, in a magical world, Sun Licheng has a very thick golden finger, and the artillery produced is naturally incomparable.
After a test firing the next morning, Sun Licheng's artillery was able to shoot a five-kilogram projectile more than two kilometers out, and its accuracy was very good. The point is that this kind of artillery can be replaced with shells very quickly, and it is only necessary to pull the bolt to hook out the shell, and then you can put in a new bronze launcher and fire again.
The only problem was that the gunpowder burned with residue, and every five to eight shots it was fired, the chamber had to be cleaned, but this did not affect the high opinion of this type of gun.
Sun Licheng designed a total of three types of shells: a solid bullet, two flowering shells, and two magic shells. The solid bullet is relatively simple, it is a bronze ball, which is mainly used for tackling tough problems. The shape of the flowering bombs is the same, but the explosives filled inside are different, one is the black powder newly researched by Sun Licheng, and the other is the black fish bile explosive used in the salt mine cave. Although the black fish bile explosive is relatively cumbersome to make, in addition to the destructive power after the explosion, it will also release a violent poisonous smoke, and the lethality in the enclosed space is amazing. Both types of magic bullets have a magic crystal placed inside the cannonball, which will emit fire or lightning when detonated, which can be used to set fire to enemies behind cover.
Sun Licheng used the magic array as the trigger fuse of the cannonball. For carving small magic arrays, Sun Licheng and skillful hands are already very experienced, and even made special small machine tools and fixtures.
Before the cannonball is fired, the warriors can use special equipment to charge the magic array with magic crystals, which will emit violent lightning when it touches a hard object at high speed, which will activate the explosives or magic crystals in the projectile. In order to prevent the shell from exploding, except for the solid shell, the other warheads designed by Sun Licheng are conical, and it is easy to judge the installation direction of the warhead.
After making several shells, Sun Licheng and the others conducted a test firing, and the magic array was running well, and there were no duds.
After solving the problem of the cannon body and shells, Sun Licheng imitated the style of the Napoleonic cannon, installed a large wheel gun carriage for the artillery, and designed a gun carriage, which completely solved the problem of the artillery accompanying the infantry.
"Fire!"
Following Vina's order, two cannons, named the First Year Cannon, roared at the fortress in the distance, and at the same time, twenty warriors with a Flower Type 1 rifle on their shoulders lined up in two horizontal lines and slowly pressed towards the fortress.
Seeing the continuous explosions around the fortress, but the wooden fortress itself was not a, Sun Licheng's face suddenly darkened. The test guns a while ago were all operated by Mr. Skillful, and the artillery fire was very accurate. But it was really up to the goblins to start operating, and Sun Licheng really understood why artillery was a technical branch. Artillery is different from bows and arrows and muskets, this thing is curved, the distance of the blow is long, there is no mathematical concepts such as trigonometric functions, and it cannot be played at all.
Of course, it's okay to fight the enemy with a bayonet on the cannon, but isn't that pure SB?
At this time, the musketeers began to fire in turn, but the two cannons still did not collapse the fortress, and the angry little Medusa Vina was flushed, and the goblin gunners were scurrying with their heads with their big tails.
"Alas, they still need to be culturally educated!"
Looking at the hilarious scene in front of him, Sun Licheng sighed and said secretly in his heart.
Grant has been in great pain again lately. Ever since he was beaten by the little Medusa because he failed to hit the target during an exercise, his luck seems to have been swept away.
After that exercise, Patriarch Sun Licheng announced an order that all the goblins in the tribe should participate in an event called a night school, and that they would be lectured every day.
By the way, after the boss came back a few days ago, he announced an order, in the future, all goblins and goblins are collectively called goblins, which makes us feel a little awkward, how can civilized goblins be called barbarians? Later, in night school, the boss said that in ancient times we were all called goblins, and goblins mean betrayers, so they must be called back goblins, and whoever disagrees will have no food.
Well, because of the problem of eating, we finally gave in. So, we goblins began to study and live painfully.
"Can anyone tell me that a goblin warrior needs to read?"
After Grant finished shouting in his room, he looked down at the bronze plate in his hand again, and began to study carefully, and the bronze plate was engraved with the words of the Goblin Kingdom.
