455 Datang's combat power (II)

After the Modao soldiers left the field, many soldiers put the dummies in the distance a little closer to the Mingde Gate.

Li Yuanji introduced on the city wall: "The one who came down here is the musket unit of my Datang Dynasty. ”

This team of only 600 musket team can be said to be one of the strongest combat forces in Datang now.

They were all armed with the latest rifled flintlock pistols.

This rifled flintlock pistol with rifled flintlock in the barrel has an effective range of 200 meters.

In addition, the loading method is also used to speed up the reloading, and the projectile is loaded into the muzzle with linen soaked in grease, which not only speeds up the reloading, but also plays a role in holding the breath, and the accuracy is improved, and the firing range is also increased.

It can be said that such a simple rifled flintlock pistol is the embodiment of the highest scientific and technological level of Datang.

The process used for the barrel, the process for gunpowder and the process for projectiles are all the extremes that Datang can do now.

The six hundred men also walked to the Mingde Gate with their guns on their shoulders, and then turned to the south, facing the dummies that had been placed two hundred meters away.

"Ready!"

One of the musketeers came out of the ranks, holding a small flag in his hand.

"Put!"

With his order, 100 of the 200 people in the front row stood and 100 squatted to shoot at the same time, and immediately retreated to the back after the shooting.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

The second musketeer of two hundred men began to shoot with the same action, and then the third.

By the time the third musketeer had finished firing, the first two-hundredman had finished reloading and began firing again.

The six-hundred-man musketeers used this classic three-stage shot to shoot continuously for two minutes.

The dummies that had been placed two hundred meters away from them had long since been beaten into a sieve.

"I have long known that Datang's fire gun is powerful, but now I know that it is so powerful!" An envoy on the wall said with some fear.

"With such a dense attack, even the cavalry can't rush in front of it!"

"No, I should say that no class can stand in front of them!"

The Mo Dao soldiers just now were powerful enough, but now that they saw the three-stage shots of the six hundred musketeers, the hearts of many envoys sank to the bottom of the sea, and they were cold.

This is not what they are now

In the force that can resist, the six hundred musketeers are constantly firing like this, and even tens of thousands of troops cannot rush in front of them.

And if you don't get close to the musket, you will always have to be beaten.

The only drawback seems to be that the smoke is a bit big when the gun is fired, but fortunately, these musketeers are all treasures of the Tang Dynasty, and each of them wears a mask, which can not only isolate the smoke of gunpowder, but also play a certain defensive function.

"Long live Datang!"

After the shooting, the musketeers shouted at Li Shimin.

"You've worked hard!"

"Serve Datang!"

The envoys of various countries and the people of Datang watched the musketeers leave the scene, and they all discussed that this should be the strongest combat power of Datang now.

Such muskets Datang will only make more and more, and when there are 5,000, 10,000, or 50,000, how invincible should that Datang be?

Just when everyone was thinking so, Li Yuanji shouted again: "By appearing, it will be the strongest corps in my Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Xuanjia rides?"

"It's Xuanjia riding here!"

"Today I can finally see the style of the Xuanjia Ride!"

Hearing Li Yuanji shouting the strongest regiment in the Tang Dynasty, everyone speculated whether it was a Xuanjia cavalry.

The musketeers were powerful, but they didn't have any actual records.

The Xuanjia cavalry began to fight in the south and north before the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, and made a lot of achievements.

Speaking of the strongest corps in the Tang Dynasty, everyone thinks of the Xuanjia Cavalry.

However, what Li Yuanji said below denied their ideas.

"Datang First Tank Corps!"

"Tank Corps? What is a tank? Hearing Li Yuanji's words, everyone started to talk about it.

The envoys on the city wall also looked at each other, they all had many spies in Chang'an, but they had never heard of such a thing as a tank.

And what kind of existence can be called the strongest corps in Datang?

On the west side of the moat below the Mingde Gate, there is a row of beings covered with red cloth.

At the beginning, many people were speculating about what it was, but now when they heard Li Yuanji say about tanks, everyone looked over.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yuanji's words fell, all the red cloths were torn off.

"What's that?"

"Is it a steam locomotive?"

"Look there's smoke coming from behind there, it must be a steam locomotive!"

"But how come this car doesn't have wheels? Look down there! ”

"Don't look down, look at the top, that slender tube, isn't it?"

"Datang Shenwei Cannon! Could this tank be the Tang Shenwei cannon that can move? ”

When the envoys saw the musketeers just now, they were only shocked, but now they shouted directly.

They came to Chang'an with a steam locomotive, and Li Shimin came to pick them up, and they all knew the speed of the steam locomotive.

But if the speed of the steam locomotive is combined with the Datang Shenwei cannon above......

"Too ...... It's horrible! An envoy squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

But no matter what they thought, the steam tanks that had been started a long time ago began to accelerate, and they were getting faster and faster.

And following the ten tanks lined up, there were a thousand musketeers.

However, unlike the starting musketeers, they used flintlock muskets, which were much simpler to build than flintlock rifled guns.

Although the range is not as long as rifled guns, and the accuracy is not as high as rifled guns, they are used in conjunction with tanks.

The range of the tank reached more than a thousand meters, so they did not need that far range and accuracy, what they needed was to strike at the enemy at close range.

Now the people of Datang also know why such a large piece of open space was cleared in front of them, if it weren't for this, this monster called a tank would not be able to be used at all.

The tank drove to the front of the Mingde Gate, and then turned to the south, today Cheng Zhijie did not stand on the hot air balloon, but stood on the tank in the middle.

The command flag in his hand waved: "Datang Tank Corps, No. 1 Advance Tactics, Charge!" ”

All the tanks began to gallop south, and then several more shells were fired in succession, and they launched an attack on the dummies to the south.

The armor of those dummy regiments looks the same as the best light plate armor in Datang from a distance, but in fact, they are all film and television props.

Even if Datang had the strength to create so many light plate armors, they were reluctant to use it like this.

It's just that the envoys on the city wall don't know, and they all feel that their hearts are bleeding at the same time, and they are also sighing, no matter how powerful such a plate armor is?

In front of this monster called a tank, what is the difference between it and papier-mΓ’chΓ©?
