Chapter 424： Event shooting shed

.

The second day Marin arrived in Lübeck City, the day when the Bossa Allied Forces set off, the sky suddenly began to rain. Farmers are naturally happy because God is helping them irrigate the wheat field. However, Marin was not happy. Because, the matchlock gun can no longer be used ...

This is a very serious problem, because if it is raining and Marin ’s matchlock loses its effect, then the city ’s offensive and defensive warfare is a battle of pure cold weapons. The previous offensive and defensive war in Dublin fully proved this point. On rainy days, Edward's matchlock gunmen completely lost their function and lost their firepower advantage. And the rainproof shed they tried to build was completely burned down by rockets in England when the rain stopped. In this detail, Sahin inserted in the Edwardian army has already written a detailed report.

Seeing that the Bossa coalition is coming, if the problem of not being able to fire on a rainy day is exposed, the savvy of Frederick III will definitely use it.

Therefore, Marin must find a solution in time ...

In the drizzle, Marin wandered at the foot of the city wall of Lübeck to see the soldiers setting up tents on the open ground. On the edge of the street, the residents and the soldiers had a dispute.

Marin hurried over to see what was going on ...

It turned out that because there was no empty space at the foot of the city wall, the three soldiers put their tents on the streets. Originally, this was fine, but the problem was-their tent blocked the door of the residents ... So, the dispute happened like this ...

Finally, Marin ordered the soldiers to remove the tent. He personally supervised the three soldiers and carried away the small military tent they lived in ...

"Take away ..." Marin suddenly thought of something and stood there stunned ...

After a while, Marin snapped his head and laughed:

"Haha, I thought of a way!"

Malin learned from the scene just now-since the Musketeer only needs to cover the rain when it rains. When it doesn't rain, you can lift up the rain shelter and take it away ...

Edward's army was relatively rigid when fighting against the British, and built a rain-proof thatched house on the city wall. Of course, when it rains, the musketeer can continue to shoot. But when it didn't rain, he didn't tear it down. The British army can see it? The rocket was fired directly with the English Longbowmen, and the thatched house was burned. And Edward can't stop building thatched houses. After all, there are not so many building materials in the city. And building a stone house on the city head, not to mention the material problem, is the construction period, which is also very long and inconvenient. Moreover, that investment is also huge ...

But Marin realized from the previous scene that-since the musketeer only needs to cover the rain when it is raining, why not make an active rain shield and block the musketeer from the rain?

When it rains, I will lift this thing up to the wall for the musketeer. If it doesn't rain, just carry it ... Anyway, there are a lot of people ...

The rocket can indeed burn out the rain-proof tent, but when the rain stops, let Min Zhuang carry it down, and it makes no sense to launch the rocket ...

Thinking of this, Marin immediately found the Speaker of the Lübeck Tagfacht to discuss the matter. Originally, Marin planned to produce a large parasol similar to the kind used in future generations. However, in this era, there was no umbrella at all in Europe, so there were no craftsmen and accessories for making umbrellas. When the craftsmen developed the umbrella, they might have finished the battle.

Then, Marin considered using a tent. However, there are also problems with tents. The tent is made of cloth, and it can't resist the bow and arrow at all. The enemy's bows and arrows cannot use rockets to burn tents when it rains. However, the arrow can also shoot through the tent. Once the fabric of the tent is cut by the arrow, there is no rainproof effect ...

Marin also thought of building a masonry hut on the city wall, but the construction period was too long. Seeing that the enemy arrived within a few days, we must figure out a way as soon as possible ...

Marin's fingers tapped on the table, making a muffled noise. Then, Marin's eyes couldn't be moved away on the table ...

Suddenly, Marin got under the table and put his fingers together, making a shooting gesture:

"Bang--" Marin gave a voice in his mouth. On the edge, Kahn, acting as a bodyguard, froze. He couldn't figure out why Marin suddenly got under the table and made childish movements. So, he came up with an idea-is the young master crazy?

But Marin quickly got out from under the table and then patted the table all over the floor:

"In this form, it can block the rain and the arrows that can be projected!"

Then, Marin hurried to the residence of the Great Speaker of Tagfakht. Kahn saw it and quickly chased it out-he was worried that Marin was crazy, so he had to follow it ...

Fortunately, Marin wasn't crazy. He just went to the Speaker of Tagfakht to discuss the urgent construction of a wooden shed ...

Marin designed a wooden boarding shed, which was opened before and after, and the top and four feet were all wooden boards. And the sides are hanging cloth. The cloth hanging on both sides is to prevent rain. And the wooden board above the head is to guard against the archers under the city.

The archer under the city wall cannot directly shoot the musketeer with the battlement cover, but can only shoot in a curve. Most bows and arrows come down from above. Therefore, if you want to resist, it is best to use wooden boards on it.

This cuboid shaped wooden shed can accommodate two people, and the person in front is naturally a musket shooter. The latter are responsible for filling the musketeers. Each wooden shed is placed in a lookout for easy shooting.

Moreover, because the matchlock gun has to stick out of the wall and shoot down. Therefore, in this kind of wooden shed, there is a board extending to the front, just to keep the rain out when the musket is extended, and to prevent the humid rope from getting wet.

Because only the top plate and the four brackets are made of wood, and only rags on both sides are used to prevent rain, this wooden shed is not only convenient for shooting on rainy days, but also easy to move. The two civilian husbands can step down the city wall or lift up.

Soon, under the arrangement of the Speaker of Tagfacht, the carpenters of Lübeck produced a sample. After testing, this wooden shed is very beneficial to the firing gun in rainy days. Moreover, it is very convenient to withdraw. Therefore, such a humble wooden shed is called a mobile shooting shed.

After the test was successful ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The Speaker of Tagfacht immediately ordered the carpenters of more than a dozen shipyards in Lübeck to build a shooting shed for this kind of activity to facilitate the use of Marlin's matchlock shooters on rainy days. .

Moreover, on weekdays, if this kind of activity cuboid shed is also covered with windshields before and after, it can be used as a single tent, which is a double benefit.

As for whether several thousand shooting booths can be built in a few days? This is not a problem at all. Because Lübeck is the shipbuilding center of this era, there are more than a dozen shipyards and thousands of shipbuilding craftsmen. And each shipbuilding craftsman is an excellent carpenter. Besides, do n’t store too much wood in the shipyard ...

As for cost? For Lubeck, a wealthy man, is it a matter?

In this way, thousands of shipbuilding craftsmen put down the shipbuilding task, found the suitable wood from the shipyard, and began to build this simple mobile shooting shed. In addition, the Speaker of Tagfaht also ordered city residents to donate rags not used at home, and then the city hall organized women to sew those rags into large-sized cloths to cover both sides of the active shooting shed ... .
