"Third row ready!"

"Fire!"

The Shenji battalion fired in rows and rows, and after the first row of guns, they retreated to the last and continued to reload.

The second row comes forward, finishes the third row, and so on.

Feng Cheng had tried to have the first row lying on his stomach, the second row squatting, and the third row standing.

Later, it was found that after a round of three rows, the loading became a problem.

Lying on your stomach and squatting, you can't reload at all!

The smoothbore gun needs to be pointed upwards and stabbed with a cane, otherwise it will not be able to shoot far.

In the end, you still have to switch to the rear reload.

There are also three rows of passes, the first row is only responsible for shooting, and the second and third rows are responsible for loading and passing guns.

It's a little less efficient.

After a few rounds, the sound finally stopped.

A gust of wind blew, and the smoke gradually dissipated.

Everyone on the stage was engrossed in watching the sergeant drill below, and everyone was surprised.

Liang Guogong Lan Yu applauded loudly: "With such a rate of fire, it is several times faster than before!" ”

At least three or four times as much!

"It's sharper than the three-stage attack of King Muying of Qianning!" Song Guogong Feng Sheng also nodded in praise.

Everyone is the boss of the Ming army, and they know that the fire gun is sharp and abnormal, how can the flesh and blood stop it?

In the past, the rate of fire of the firearm was a hard wound, and if you put it for half a day, it could only be used as an auxiliary.

Now watching the Shenji Camp drill, these waves go down, like raindrops, who can stand it?

The momentum of the volley of guns is scary to look at!

Yan King Zhu Di's focus was on the fire gun in the hands of the Shenji Battalion.

These strange firecrackers are obviously different from the equipment in the Ming army!

Where did the imperial grandson get it from?

The officials were amazed, and they discussed it privately, just with the hand of the Shenji Battalion, the emperor and grandson managed the army in a good way!

Lan Yu did not shy away from saying bluntly: "The imperial grandson is a rare handsome talent!" ”

Looking at the high-spirited Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Di felt a huge pressure in his heart.

He thinks that he is good at leading troops and ranks first among the princes.

Now the emperor's grandson actually understands military affairs, and he has created new ideas.

The point is that he is only fifteen years old!

When I was fifteen years old, I still dig bird's nests in the palace garden every day!

It wasn't until he was twenty years old in Beiping that Zhu Di followed his father-in-law Xu Da to learn to lead troops to fight.

The sunlight was refracted on the fire, and the cold light shone, showing the sharpness of the Shenji Battalion.

Here's the highlight.

Zhu Yunxi waved the flag.

The freshly clad Shenji battalion re-lined up to form a huge phalanx, and everyone hugged their fire guns diagonally to their chests and crossed the point in unison.

When passing through the Dianjiangtai, the Shenji Battalion all changed to a straight walk, and the muskets were held diagonally forward.

The posture is strong, the footsteps are sonorous and powerful, and they converge into a neat marching sound.

When passing by Dianjiangtai, all the Shenji Battalion shouted in unison: "Long live!" Banzai! Banzai! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face: "Taisun is interesting. ”

It was the first time he had seen such a peculiar way of reviewing.

Looking at the heavily armed Shenji Battalion.

Zhu Yunxi greeted Feng Cheng: "It's best not to wear these face armors." ”

Visor affects vision and breathing.

Of course, you can usually wear it, handsome!

It is not advisable to start a war.

Especially the firecrackers, it affects the operation too much!

Zhu Yunxi saw with his own eyes that a guy seemed to have a crooked face armor, struggling to reload the sub-medicine, and seemed to be operating by feeling.

The review is not over yet, and the following is the appearance of the artillery of the Shenji Battalion.

Zhu Yunxi returned to the point and stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang.

The grandfather and grandson talked in a low voice.

Feng Cheng took over the command, ordered the flag to dance, and four hundred artillerymen, in groups of two, carried up two hundred tiger squatting cannons.

They lined up and performed a salvo of 100 cannons.

Suddenly, the cannon roared and resounded through the sky.

First, it is loaded with solid bullets and covered with three rounds.

Later, it was changed to lead ball shotgun.

The target was a dense pile of straw men, swept by a shrappel, like a torrential rain sweeping leeks.

The scene was huge and spectacular!

There were also flowering bombs, which blew up a black cloud.

"What's that?"

Zhu Di looked at the rise and pointed to the front and asked.

Not only was it the first time he had seen a shell that could explode, but everyone present had also gained a lot of knowledge.

Zhu Yunxi replied: "That's called a flowering bomb, and the technology is not yet mature. ”

Before the 18th century, artillery shells were basically iron balls and stone balls.

It's like a cannon in a movie and television, and the cannonballs fired explode at every turn, that's complete nonsense!

It's not that the ancients didn't make a flowering bomb, but they didn't dare to use it, so that few people have seen generals who often fight.

The casting technology of the early flowering bomb was backward, and the hollow shell used in it was basically composed of two separately cast hemispheres.

The strength of the material is low, and it generally cannot withstand the bore pressure of long-barreled guns.

If you shoot it, it may not be a shell, but a cannon!

Explode directly in the barrel and blow up the chamber!

Artillery destroys and kills!

Therefore, the Shenji battalion uses flowering shells and uses large-caliber short-barreled mortar cannons to fire, which has a lower bore pressure and is safer.

Flowering shells look better to explode, but in fact, they are not as powerful as solid bombs.

The inside is filled with less powerful black powder, and the amount of powder is small, and it may even only break in half after exploding, which has very little lethality to people.

And solid bullets, like bowling balls when fired, can break rows of soldiers.

Cold weapons warfare, it is customary to use infantry phalanxes, and dense people are close to people.

A solid iron ball can easily penetrate a twenty-row infantry column.

If the cannonball hits the ground, it will bounce and continue to attack, rolling far away, and everyone who touches it will die!

The reason why Zhu Yunxi experimented with flowering bombs was not to blow him up.

But...... Develop gas bombs!

As soon as it is launched into the enemy army, the scene of poisonous smoke filling the air and scattering birds and beasts should be very beautiful!

The final finale of the Shenji Battalion was a heavy artillery.

Weighs 5,000 pounds!

There are multiple reinforcing hoops on the gun body to prevent explosions.

It can fire five-pound and ten-pound buckshot bullets.

This is a heavy artillery cannon with a combination of car and cannon, and it can be said that it was the first heavy artillery of the 14th century!

A gunner of the Shenji Battalion lit the fuse of a cannon that hit a ten-pound cannon.

Everyone's expressions were nervous and excited, staring at the hissing sparkling fire gate lead.

The fuse on the fire door burned out, and the thick muzzle of the 5,000-pound cannon suddenly flashed, and the cannon body shook.

With a loud bang, a huge iron ball roared and flew into the distance.

The sound was like thunder, rolling away.

Rao is point to the general, a group of bigwigs on the stage have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they were also taken aback.

Cao Guogong Li Jinglong was seeing this big guy for the first time, stood up and stretched out his head to look, and suddenly this huge cannon sound staggered in fright.

It's embarrassing for a while.

"This thing, it's all caught up with Lei Gong!"

Chang Sheng, the founding father, sighed with emotion, and his little heart popped for a while.

The calmest person in the field is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yunxi had already informed in advance that the movement of this cannon would be very large.

"Look at your little bit of talent!" Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded.

Li Jinglong hurriedly knelt down: "If you lose your honor in front of the minister, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"That's it!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

In the eyes of everyone, Emperor Hongwu is the true son of the dragon and fearless, no wonder he can be the emperor!

It took a long time before someone reported the location of the impact point.

This cannonball hit three miles away!

The nobles present were all impressed by the powerful strength of this heavy artillery.

"What kind of cannon is this?" Lan Yu asked eagerly.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Lone calls him the Great General Cannon!" ”

"General Cannon?"

Lan Yu's face was happy, tailor-made for me?

The emperor's grandson is so good to me!

Fu Youde, who has always been silent, was surprised: "This thing is a good thing!" ”

Those who are in the industry can see the doorway, and the general's cannon is not only long-range, but also powerful.

And most importantly, there are on-board guns!

Not to mention such a large artillery, even a cannon weighing hundreds of pounds, it is only installed on the city wall or on a warship.

Rarely moves.

And this general's cannon is so heavy, the gunners of the Shenji Battalion can push and pull the gun cart, and they can fire at the enemy, which shows its mobility!

In war, warplanes are especially important.

With this vehicle-mounted gun, the speed of artillery participation in battle will be greatly increased!

Moreover, the artillery carriage is on the battlefield, and it is used to block and attack the enemy.

It can be used as a chariot to block the rapid impact of the northern ethereal cavalry.

You can also set up a barracks, use firearms and stack formations to kill enemy cavalry!

If Zhu Yunxi knew what several veterans were thinking, he would definitely admire it deeply!

It is worthy of a famous general, all in the details!

"Hey, it's a pity that there are no cavalry in the Shenji Battalion!" Zhu Yunxi sighed.

He wanted the Shenji battalion to be equipped with a few more cavalry to cover the artillery and firecrackers.

Zhu Di said: "The Shenji Battalion is full of firearms operations, and its own defense is too weak, so it really needs cavalry cover." ”

"Fourth Uncle thinks so too?"

Zhu Yunxi's face was overjoyed: "I heard that the Yan army often goes in and out of the grassland and desert, and the cavalry is unparalleled in the world, does the fourth uncle want to sponsor some?"

Zhu Di's face froze: "When I didn't say anything." ”
