Chapter 126: The New Army's Awesomeness (Part 1)

The drums of war began to sound, and all the soldiers of the new army began to take off their back-loading powder guns and began to reload gunpowder.

Sun Yuanhua commanded the artillery, pushed twelve of the thirty-six cannons that had now been cast, and set up an artillery position directly a hundred paces behind these musketeers.

Qin Liangyu, the two staff generals of the white pole soldiers, Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming, saw this scene and laughed on the spot.

Qin Zuoming whispered to Qin Zuoming: "It seems that these soldiers of the new army also know that they can't compare to our white pole soldiers, and even the cannons have been pulled out to help." ”

Qin Zuoming was obviously a little more stable than his younger brother, he knew that if these words were spread, it would be a slap in the face of Zhu Youxiao, after all, the soldiers of the New Army were forcibly pushed by Zhu Youxiao.

He hurriedly reprimanded Qin Zuoming and said, "Shut your mouth, you will lose too many words, haven't you heard of it?" How does your aunt usually teach you? ”

After Qin Zuoming heard this, he also felt a little weak.

Although he is surrounded by the generals of the white pole soldiers, but the Jinyi Guard is powerful, he has heard of it, who can guarantee that the generals of the white pole soldiers around him will not have the spies developed by the Jinyi Guard.

Qin Zuoming realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly closed his mouth, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.

In fact, I have to say that among the generals of these white pole soldiers around, there are really spies developed by Jinyiwei.

After all, it has been two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Jinyiwei, as a professional intelligence agency, can be said to be pervasive.

Even every minister who is only a high-ranking minister has no way to guarantee that there are no spies of Jinyi Wei around him.

At this time, the parade of the soldiers of the new army had officially begun, and the artillerymen began to stuff a cylindrical shell into the barrel, and then stuffed the propellant, and with a "click", the artillerymen closed the bolt.

The generals of these white-pole soldiers present were also a little surprised when they saw this scene of the artillery operation.

It's not that they haven't seen rear-loading guns, but they have seen the previous Franc cannons.

The defects of the breech-loading guns were very large, and the generals of the white pole soldiers were very aware of this, so they did not understand why the soldiers of the new army had to reinstate the breech-loading guns.

Even in their opinion, this kind of rear-loading is even more powerful than the redcoat cannon.

But unlike other white-pole generals, Qin Liangyu discovered something different.

When she looked around, she saw that the targets of these soldiers were placed four miles away.

The firing of the Hongyi cannon could only launch the iron cannon town three miles away.

But these new army set targets four miles away, and even Qin Liangyu looked at it, and the dense ones were all the targets that these new army soldiers were filling.

The first reaction of other months is absolutely impossible, there is simply no artillery that can withstand four miles away, let alone this kind of artillery that you are still rear-loading artillery.

He turned his face to look at Zhu Youxiao, but he saw Zhu Youxiao quietly watching the performance of these artillerymen, as if he had seen them countless times, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the operation of these artillerymen at all.

The power of the Emperor's golden gun of the Apocalypse is very clear in his heart, but he wants to see how these soldiers cooperate with each other.

The artillery cannon began to fire, and with a bang, the cannon was ejected, and it flew off into the distance.

The generals of these white-pole soldiers showed a look of wanting to see a joke.

But I didn't expect that a moment later, a huge explosion occurred in the middle of the dense targets in the distance.

With a "bang", the places where the scarecrow targets were inserted were instantly cleared out of an open space.

Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming looked around, and the open space was nearly ten zhang long.

The two of them jumped up on the spot, looking into the distance in disbelief.

No way!

It's absolutely impossible!

How could it be so powerful as artillery!

It must have been these soldiers of the New Army who planted explosives in the middle of the target early.

They unexpectedly found that these soldiers of the new army fired flowering shells.

The insecurity of the flowering shell, that is known to everyone, the probability of exploding is very high.

Aren't these soldiers of the New Army afraid of death?

They would use such a suicide-like munition, not to mention that it could shoot four miles away, and the power reached such a terrifying level.

This is simply not something that a rear-loading gun can make.

They can't accept this cruel fact.

But they soon saw that the artillerymen quickly opened the bolt and cleaned the chamber of the gun from the residue of explosives.

Later, the soldiers of the Forces nouvelles stuffed a new cylindrical shell into it, also with a packet of propellant, and the second shell was immediately fired.

Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming's eyes widened even more.

They didn't want to believe what they had just seen, and they wanted to see the flaws in their falsification from the firing of the new army's artillery.

The firing rate of these new shells is even only a quarter of that of the Hongyi cannon.

In other words, the time it takes for Hongyi shells to fire one round is enough for these rear-loading guns to be fired four or five times.

What a terrifying power.

If the new armies really did not plant explosives in the middle of the target, then the power of this rear-loading artillery is simply immeasurable.

The second shell landed quickly, with the same power as before.

Although Qin Zuoming and Qin Zuoming were reluctant to admit it, they had to admit that it was impossible for these soldiers of the New Army to bury any gunpowder in the middle of the target to fake the explosion scene.

Because according to their observations, it can be clearly found that the shells fired by this artillery did indeed fall in the middle of these targets.

Those are flowering shells, and if they were really solid shells, there should have been shells that fell to the ground and bounced multiple times, but they weren't.

With the second round of artillery coming in, the third round of projectile packs was obviously smaller than the second round.

Because of the artillery of this era, there is actually no way to adjust the height of the muzzle to change the firing distance of the artillery.

They were only able to reduce the charge to adjust the firing distance.

Obviously, the amount of these propellants is also the result of countless previous tests.

Only they know how far they can shoot with how many propellants they stuff.

Then the third round of artillery was fired, the fourth round of artillery was also fired, and then the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds, and the firing distance of the artillery also extended from four miles to half a mile.

At least 20,000 or 30,000 targets were placed along the way, but now these targets are crooked.

If these were not targets, but some oncoming cavalry, then all of these cavalry would have returned to the west.
