Everyone finally returned to the point platform to watch the artillery fire, and found that a large number of soldiers rushed up to replace a new batch of dummies! Directly on the ground a phalanx. Look at how far apart they are in a normal army formation!

As soon as the dummy was set up, there were already five guns in place on the other side of the playground! Qi Jiguang estimated that the distance between the artillery and the dummy was about half a mile! So he nodded secretly in his heart, sure enough, these soldiers have been seriously trained! This distance happens to be the distance with the most accurate and lethal power of the artillery!

However, instead of looking at the dummy this time, he pointed his binoculars at the artillery position, and he wanted to see how this new type of artillery could be used! Isn't it more convenient and powerful than the artillery used today?

As soon as the artillery stopped, two soldiers picked up shovels and quickly dug two shallow trenches on the ground! As soon as they got together, the two people behind pushed the cannon forward, and the two wide wheels fell directly into the shallow pit, and the cannon was parked very securely!

At this time, the two soldiers threw away their shovels, and each took two hammers, and quickly crouched down behind the tail of the cannon and beat them hard! Although Qi Jiguang couldn't see clearly what the two of them were fighting, he was as smart as he immediately figured out what they were doing?

He was sure that there must have been two rings or spikes or something like that in the little tail of the artillery! Just drive the spikes into the ground and you'll be able to jam the artillery!

Thinking of this, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but feel a little complacent! I feel like I've seen through the use of this new type of artillery at once! And he is sure that this kind of artillery will definitely develop after today! Because it's so convenient to use!

Then he saw a soldier walking quickly to the muzzle of the gun with a bag of gunpowder on his shoulder, and stuffed the bag directly! Then a soldier picked up a wooden pestle with a thick top and pushed the medicine bag to the end! Then another soldier shoved a heavy solid cannonball in both hands, and was pushed into the bottom of the barrel by the wooden pestle! And the soldier at the end of the cannon has already stabbed the medicine bag in the fire door with an iron hook to install the fuse, and the gun is ready to shoot!

At this time, Qi Jiguang put down the telescope and said, "Master Li, why did you stuff the cloth together when charging the artillery?" In this way, there is too much debris in the gun chamber when you reload next time, and it is not easy to clean up! ”

Liu Haojia said: "So that Lord Qi can know that the cloth with the medicine is the best silk!" These silks are just as you see them, there is almost no residue, and it is very convenient to clean the gun chamber! Much faster than using other pill packs! ”

Emperor Wanli was dumbfounded when he heard this: "With silk? Isn't that too extravagant? ”

Liu Haojia hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! The reason why they use silk medicine packs is to be able to clean the chamber quickly! You must know that there are not many moments on the battlefield, but many moments add up to a long time! The minister has estimated that if you don't use a silk medicine bag and use a silk waist, if you use a silk medicine bag, you will have to shoot one more round of artillery every eight rounds! Maybe just one round of artillery can decide the winner, so you can't be frugal in this regard! ”

Emperor Wanli nodded again and again to indicate that he understood. Qi Jiguang also nodded and said: "Lord Li can be so meticulous about artillery shooting, it can be seen that he is extremely attentive!" ”

Liu Haojia also liked this feeling, but he still raised his hand and said, "Attention, the artillery is about to shoot!" ”

Everyone hurriedly looked up, only to see that the artillery on the position fired in turn, and there were five more gunpowder tracks in the sky in an instant! At the very front of the trajectory are rapidly rotating iron balls smashing towards the dense dummies!

The results of this round of shelling are very good! Each shell knocked over at least two or more dummies! There was even a cannonball that miraculously pierced the line from the head of the line to the line, shattering all ten dummies in a row!

This scene caused a burst of cheers and amazement! By the time the five rounds of artillery are fired, most of those dummies will be complete! Those civilian officials all looked very regretful, but Qi Jiguang knew that if the ordinary army encountered this density of shelling, I am afraid that it would collapse directly! If it was the gang of wastes in Jingying, they would have fled without waiting for the five rounds of shooting!

Before he could sigh, a large number of soldiers rushed forward to remove all the damaged dummies and relocate their new families! However, to everyone's surprise, the number of dummies has doubled this time! Moreover, the soldiers also erected a thick wooden wall among the dummies, covering the back half of the dummies, and all the chests down!

This time, Qi Jiguang was very smart and said directly without waiting for Emperor Wanli to ask: "Your Majesty, there is a female wall on that wooden wall, it seems that it should probably be imitated by the city wall!" It's just that the minister doesn't know how this cannon can shoot at the city wall? ”

Emperor Wanli said confidently: "Since Liu Aiqing dares to arrange it like this, then there must be a reason for him!" I'll just wait and see first! ”

At this time, about 50 paces from the dummy, artillery had already begun to build positions. The first to enter the position was the Franc cannon pushed by two soldiers! As soon as the gun carriage was stopped, two soldiers took two sharp stakes from the cart, stuck them in one part of the car and knocked them with a mallet! Everyone understands that this is a fixed gun carriage!

And then there came that strange mortar-like artillery! However, this kind of artillery is much more time-consuming to arrange. The soldiers had to rough level the ground before lifting the guns from their cars and putting them on the ground, and then nailing the corners to the ground with iron cones!

When everyone saw that the two sets of artillery were ready, they all watched with bated breath! With just one order, the gunner of the Franc cannon was the first to start loading!

Because the Franc Cannon is a cannon with its own gun, it is much faster to reload than a normal gun! I saw a soldier pick up a gun with both hands and put it on the huge gap in the barrel, and then rotate it half a circle, and this gun was basically stable!

But they're still not done! A soldier fastens the tail of the gun to the gun carriage with a hammered wooden bolt behind the barrel. At the same time, another soldier pushed up two semicircular metal rings from the side of the barrel! The soldier on the opposite side caught it and snapped the metal ring to the barrel!

Qi Jiguang keenly found that these two iron rings were all stuck in the places where the Franc cannon was easy to leak in the past! With these two iron rings, plugging the leakage, reinforcing the barrel by the way, everything is complete! This made Qi Jiguang even more admirable for Liu Haojia's carefulness!
