493: Artillery mounting
Mortars, a small type of artillery, are very light and agile to use. It is composed of four parts: gun body, gun carriage, seat plate, and sight. The main feature is a ballistic curve, which is suitable for overshooting at targets behind concealed objects, such as hills. It is easy to reload and can fire twenty to thirty rounds per minute. The firepower is fierce and the lethal effect is extremely strong. It is also light in weight, small in size and strong in mobility. Moreover, the structure is simple and easy to operate.
There are many models of mortars. The mortar that Xiao Sheng obtained from the arsenal of the Dongguotuo Republic belonged to the "M252 mortar". The muzzle velocity of the shell is 250 meters per second, and the maximum range is 5,600 meters. The weight is only thirty-six kilograms. Ordinary people can also make adjustments and move around at will.
The soldiers selected by Yan Fulong and He Wuji, in addition to having a certain guarantee of cultivation, more importantly, they are all flexible people. Not only is he very capable of accepting new things and new knowledge, but he is also very shrewd and clever in drawing inferences from others.
Xiao Sheng only demonstrated the use of various arms to them once. They themselves have a full grasp of the use of these munitions.
Of course, there is still a big gap between knowing how to use a mortar and becoming a skilled artilleryman. Therefore, Xiao Sheng also specially left a batch of shells for these newly transferred artillerymen to practice and enhance their proficiency.
After these soldiers have fully mastered the relevant skills, they can use them as instructors to teach other soldiers of the Wuchuan New Army. At the same time, with these 100 mortars erected on the city wall, even if the fierce ancient barbarians sent another 100,000 troops to attack the city, they would still be not afraid.
Xiao Sheng believed that under the fierce artillery attack of mortars, the army that was still undisturbed, morale, could endure casualties, and continued to bravely attack the city did not exist in the Dahao world at all.
Xiao Sheng knew that the quality of the Wuchuan New Army under his command was much worse than the private soldiers under the command of other princes in all aspects. and the He family army carefully trained by the general He Qianli, the general of the chariot and cavalry, is even far away.
I want to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Wuchuan New Army in a short period of time. Then equipping them with new weapons is obviously the best way, and the effect is the most immediate.
And there's one more benefit. Weapons like mortars, Gatling heavy machine guns, and individual rocket launchers don't seem to have complicated constructions. In fact, behind them is a world of industrial civilization that is completely different from the world of Dahao. Without the support of the entire system of industrial civilization, it is completely impossible to create the same weapons.
In other words, even if the second prince or someone else is keen on these weapons and wants to imitate them, they can't imitate them at all. Even if they snatched all these weapons taken out by the Fourteenth Prince. When the ammunition runs out, the munitions are also wasted.
Only Xiao Sheng, because he had obtained a veritable mountain of ammunition in the arsenal of the Dongguotuo Kingdom in the hunter world, was able to supply ammunition to his soldiers endlessly. Even if these weapons are used up, they can use the large amount of gold and silver they have accumulated before to buy arms from the hunter world again through the Gara Temple.
However, if you do this, you will also be charged a fee of space-time energy points. However, compared to those items that can only be purchased with space-time energy points, and cannot be obtained with ordinary gold and silver jewelry, it is obviously much cheaper.
Watch Xiao Sheng teach the soldiers of the Wuchuan New Army to learn to use these new munitions. The eldest prince, the second prince, the ninth prince and others next to him couldn't help but be stunned, and they felt extremely envious in their hearts.
As for the general of the cavalry, He Qianli, he smiled even more. You must know that among the more than 200 soldiers, at least 60 or 70 are from the He family's army. Moreover, those cannons were also erected on the Great Wall of Rock, and they were also part of the fortifications of the Great Wall of Rock in disguise. Without much effort, I got a batch of powerful weapons, but where to find such a good thing?
Of course, with He Qianli's cleverness, he can also imagine it. If these new munitions were to leave the Fourteenth Prince, they would soon become a pile of scrap metal. Therefore, even for the sake of the He family, he still remained neutral and did not dare to show an attitude of favoring any prince. But invisibly, He Qianli no longer objected to his son He Wuji's approaching the Fourteenth Prince.
You must know that in the past period of time, the two fathers and sons quarreled fiercely several times over this matter.
After explaining, it was getting late. According to past experience, the four fierce demon arrays three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, will inevitably gather into dark clouds to envelop the city, releasing evil qi to intrude. But I don't know why, now that the time has come, the four fierce demon arrays are still the same as before. Although there are dark clouds in the sky, they are extremely thin and cannot be gathered into a demonic appearance.
I don't know why, but it's always a good thing anyway. At the moment, He Qianli handed over the matter of city defense to his eldest son He Wuji for the time being, and then held a large feast, not only to celebrate Xiao Sheng's achievements, but also to comfort everyone for their hard work in defending the city for several days.
On top of the feast, the wine passed three rounds. The eldest prince finally couldn't bear it anymore. Relying on the good relationship between them, he picked up his wine glass and walked to Xiao Sheng, and said, "Old Fourteen, today you went out in time, manifested the Yuan Shen Fa, and helped us break the four fierce demon arrays. and single-handedly repelled the 100,000 army of fierce ancient barbarians. Piles and piles are all great achievements. Come, a toast for your brother. ”
Xiao Sheng stood up with his wine glass and said with a smile: "Big brother has won the prize." If it weren't for the royal brothers and Heche riding to protect the Great Wall with all their might, I am afraid that the Great Wall would not have been able to wait for the younger brother to heal from his internal injuries and get out of the pass, and the Great Wall would have been broken by the fierce ancient barbarians. Therefore, if you want to talk about the credit, the royal brothers and the Heche ride are the first credit. I'll start with a toast to all of you. ”
Although he has always been at odds with Xiao Sheng. But these few words, the second prince and the ninth prince also listened to it very comfortably. He Qianli smiled happily and raised his glass to drink.
The eldest prince also drank all the wine. Then he asked: "But speaking of which, Old Fourteen, what kind of magic weapon did you use to repel the fierce ancient barbarians just now? Where did you get all this stuff?"
As soon as this question came out, in an instant, everyone present pricked up their ears and listened attentively. Because these questions of the eldest prince are also the questions in their hearts. It's just that the second prince and the ninth prince have a bad relationship with Xiao Sheng. He Qianli felt that the relationship between them was not familiar to that point, so he couldn't help but ask.
Since Xiao Sheng took out the things and used them, he naturally thought of a rhetoric a long time ago. He smiled and asked rhetorically, "Big brother, do you remember, why did I go into retreat this time to heal?"
The eldest prince nodded and said, "Of course I remember." Because the demon girl Jade Liuli taught the fierce ancient barbarians to cast the Broken Sea Thunderbolt Cannon, and arranged cannons outside the city to attack the city. Old Fourteen, you destroyed the cannon, that's why you were injured. ”
Xiao Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." The jade glass is the descendant of the Tianji Gate. The Split Sea Thunderbolt Cannon is also an invention of the Tianji Gate. It just so happens that I also know a real heir to heaven. He once gave me a messenger talisman that allowed me to speak to each other even if we were separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.
Therefore, during the retreat, I used this messenger to tell the Celestial Messenger about the events on this side of the Great Wall of Rock, and asked him for help.
After the heirs of the heavenly machine learned about it, they said that the so-called Split Sea Thunderbolt Cannon was just a game of his early years, and it was actually not a really powerful thing. In recent years, he has devoted himself to research and invented three new weapons, which are even more powerful than thunderbolts.
The first of these three new weapons is called the Thunder in the Clouds, the second is called the Rainstorm Gun, and the third is the Sky Bombardment. The descendants of the Heavenly Machine used the teleportation array to send a batch of them, asking me to make good use of these weapons, clean up the portal for the Heavenly Machine Gate, and eradicate the traitor who betrayed the country and sought glory from Yu Liuli. ”
"Oh, what do you mean, old fourteen, those magic weapons just now are all weapons invented by Tianjimen?"
The second prince finally couldn't help but interject and asked, "In other words, when you were in retreat, you had contact with the real Tianji Gate heirs? He also brought so many weapons to you?" Haha, Old Fourteen, we are not deaf and blind. If there is such a big movement, how can it be that there are nearly 200,000 people in the whole city, all of whom are unaware?"
Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "This is exactly the genius of the Heavenly Machine." As for how he did it, I don't know. If there is a chance in the future, the second brother can personally ask the heirs of the heavenly machine. ”
The second prince frowned and asked, "What is the name of this celestial heir, why didn't you recruit him to join the army and serve the country?"
Xiao Sheng smiled and said: "This kind of master, how can anyone come and go at any time? As for his name, second brother, please forgive me." Without the permission of this senior, I can't just leak his name to outsiders. ”
The Tianji Gate has always been mysterious. Although the imperial court has a lot of dealings with Tianjimen, the only people who can be contacted are some outer disciples. As for the real heirs of the heavenly machine, no one knows how many there are, what their names and appearances are, and where they are.
Therefore, the fourteenth prince's answer can be described as leaky. Although the second prince was dissatisfied, he couldn't find anything wrong. I had to snort coldly, sit down and drink alcohol.
The Nine Emperors said coldly: "It turns out that there is a descendant of the Heavenly Opportunity to support you, no wonder Old Fourteen, you dared to boast just now, saying that before sunset tomorrow, you can break the magic array arranged by the demon girl of Yuliuli." It should be that Heavenly Genius Descendant who taught you the method of breaking the formation?"
Xiao Sheng smiled: "It's not. Even if it is the same heir, the knowledge of Tianjimen is as deep as the sea, so the heirs in the door also have their own strengths. The one I know only has a slight dabbling in the Qimen formation. What he is really proficient in is the art of various organs, so he can invent various magic weapons such as thunder in the clouds, rainstorm guns, and sky-bombing cannons. ”
He Qianli nodded and said, "So, Your Highness Fourteen, you have mastered a magic weapon that is enough to break the formation?"
Xiao Sheng nodded and said, "That's right." However, to activate this magic weapon, a lot of energy needs to be consumed. Only by taking the Golden Soul Pill can you have enough vitality to break the formation with the magic weapon. So, second brother, for the sake of the Great Wall of Rock, for the sake of the world, please borrow the Blood Rong Fruit and the Golden Soul Pill to use. ”
