795th Shelling
Under the bright sunshine, six second-generation Shenwei military cannons were pushed out.
Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers of the walled city, the gun jacket and the cloth that stuffed the barrel were removed, and the trench was dug to fix the gun carriage in the earth.
The native soldiers of the Sauron tribe looked confused.
Yang Chengying was on the side, and the Mongolian soldiers and native soldiers were also confused.
Even the soldiers were a little confused.
Because they saw Yang Chengying fiddling with a gadget, which they had never seen before.
The soldiers on Yang Chengying's side only heard that this thing was called the Artillery Team Mirror.
Yes, with the development of artillery technology, the observation instruments should also be changed.
In the past, the bullet point was calculated in an extremely simple way.
A cannonball shot like that can actually only be regarded as a surface.
It's still far from the real point.
The important thing is that the previous shells had a limited range, so it was no problem to rely on simple tools.
The second generation of General Shenwei artillery has a firing range of 5 km.
The range is long, and it will not work by the previous methods.
Through long-term experiments, Yang Chengying used crystal as a raw material to make an eight-fold artillery mirror.
The diameter of the exit pupil is 3.1 mm, the outside is fixed with brass, and the bottom is also made of brass to make a tripod, and the total weight reaches 17 pounds.
If it was on the battlefield in the future, Yang Chengying would not dare to make such a swaggering observation, and it would be easy to become a target for fire.
But here, even the technology of the telescope is still at the most basic level, and Yang Chengying is not afraid at all.
Calibrate the elements, and adjust the design angle and orientation of each gun.
"Artillery fire in place!"
Sun Long shouted, and the artillerymen successively opened the boxes that had been transported to the position, which contained shells one after another.
"Start loading!"
The artilleryman opened the bolt and stuffed the shell inside.
"Gun No. 1 is loaded!" "No. 2 gun reloaded......"
"Prepare ......!"
Hearing this, the artillerymen stuffed cotton into their ears.
Yang Chengying also stuffed cotton into his ears and picked up his newly designed telescope.
This is a telescope with a Paul prism structure, which is also polished with crystal.
The exterior is made of brass as a structural material.
I didn't need to look so closely before, just see one.
It's pretty much the same as the reason for making the Cannon Mirror.
In order to determine the accuracy of artillery and artillery mirrors, complex military telescopes are now required.
"Put!"
With a wave of the flag, the artilleryman pulled the rope.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble......
The first round of shelling smashed in front of the walled city, smashing the ground into potholes.
The Liaodong Army looked at each other, but they didn't expect the first round of artillery to be so crooked.
Everyone looked at Yang Chengying, but saw that there was no sense of frustration on his face.
"Put!"
The second round of shelling began.
Shells fell on the rear of the walled city.
People can't see the situation inside the walled city clearly, they just think that this cannon is far away, and the head is not good!
"Put!"
The third round of shelling began.
The cannonballs smashed on the stone and wood walls, and immediately the wood and stones flew wildly, and the soldiers on the walled city flew out with a wave of air.
Sparks fly, stumps fly!
"Put!"
A huge roar, like thunder, startled the horses to neigh.
The chiefs and native soldiers, who rarely saw cannons, were dumbfounded. They felt their souls tremble, involuntarily.
It turned out that the first two shells were actually measuring.
After each shell is fired, minor adjustments are made.
Luck almost took five rounds of shelling to find the spot.
However, this time the luck was not bad, and the three shells had completely found the right spot.
"Lord Thunder is powerful! Run. ”
The native soldiers of the Sauron tribe were so frightened that they turned pale, and they only wished that they had lost one leg, and they got off the walled city in a panic and wanted to flee north.
"Put!"
Another round of shelling.
The huge walled city fell into a sea of fire.
The Sauron men are on the run.
The conscientious chieftain, finding that Bomu Bogol had not fled, turned back to him.
"Chief!"
The chief pushed open the door to the room where Bomu Bogol was, but saw that it was empty.
He glanced at it and prepared to go elsewhere.
It was normal to accidentally find that the table was shaking, the shells were coming down, and the tables and chairs were shaking, and the chief was not surprised.
But the table shook so badly that he still saw the clue.
As soon as the chief lifted the table, he found a man shivering under the table, and looked closely at Bomu Bogol.
"Chief, let's go quickly, the Han people will come in in a while." The chief shouted.
"I ...... I want to go, but I'm leaving...... Can't walk. ”
Bomu Bogol's voice trembled.
The chieftain guessed that the chief's legs were weakened, and he hurriedly called two native soldiers to carry Bomu Bogol away with him.
As soon as they came out, the shells smashed on the roof, blowing the wooden house to shreds.
Frightened, they fled as fast as they could.
Outside the city, Yang Chengying felt that the fire was ready, so he ordered to stop shooting, and then sent flags to the tribes to quickly dispatch troops.
With a wave of the flag, the various departments rushed with a roar.
This is a great opportunity to show loyalty and make war achievements, and no one wants to miss it.
Yang Chengying saw through the telescope that many Sauron native soldiers were captured by his own army.
In the wilderness, there are fleeing native soldiers.
It was followed by the pursuing Liaodong Army.
All over the mountains, like chasing ducks.
Knowing that the overall situation had been decided, Yang Chengying simply stopped looking at it and put down the telescope.
"King, can you lend me a look?"
Duoduo stepped forward, his eyes full of curiosity.
Yang Chengying smiled, took off the telescope around his neck, and handed it to him.
Duoduo only glanced at it, and then let out a "wow".
Much clearer than a telescope.
This aroused the curiosity of the other Mongolian Taiji and tribal chiefs, and they looked at Yang Chengying pitifully with a pair of eyes.
What is this like? Like a miserable child, he looks at you and begs for a meal.
How could Yang Chengying refuse: "You all go and see it, just don't break it." ”
"Okay."
The Mongol Taiji and tribal chieftains rushed up, all grabbing binoculars from Duoduo's hands and looking ahead.
As a result, Duoduo, who was the first to borrow a telescope, fell behind.
Duoduo snorted angrily, and turned to Yang Chengying: "King, you can make me such a telescope." ”
"It's not hard to make, but you have to pay for it." Yang Chengying said with a smile.
"No problem." Duoduo patted his chest and said, looking like he was rich.
However, he did have a lot of money.
Duoduo reacted: "No, the king, you are the king, and you asked me for money as a courtier. ”
"I spent a lot of money on this telescope."
Yang Chengying immediately put on a philistine face, "Since you want it, of course you have to spend money." And I can tell you that the money is not for me, but for the craftsmen and merchants, and I only charge a referral fee. ”
The corners of Duoduo's mouth twitched a few times, and he gritted his teeth: "Here it is!" Smash the pot and sell iron. ”
"Then I don't have to ask you for money, but you have to give me something else!" Yang Chengying said.
"What's that?"
"The land in your name."
"Uh...... Given! ”
