Chapter 488： Spring lance

It was very exciting to watch the team contest, Marin watched hundreds of armored soldiers pierce each other with a spear without a spear, and was very excited. The time of the scene.

However, to be honest, although the scene of Gudouza is fierce, it has no rules at all, that is, the middle school students fight, the most intense.

And Marin's veterans' group fights are different, they are more cautious. Moreover, they use spears, and the action is not to cut but to stab. At most add some plucking action, mainly used to block the spear from the enemy.

However, when it comes to lethality, stabbing is much more deadly than chopping. Stabbing and hacking are two concepts. Chopping people is scary and bloody. However, if the fatal part is not cut, it is injured and hospitalized. But the sting is different. Even if you can't stabb the heart, but stabbing on the aorta can cause excessive blood loss and lead to death.

Therefore, the gangsters used choppers to hack people, while the killers used daggers to stab people. Therefore, killers killing people is also called assassination, not hacking.

If Hongxing's gangs are brought in, even if they are over a thousand, they can't beat the spearman of this company. First of all, the spears of the veterans under Marin were stabs at the enemy, not hurt. Moreover, the 6-meter spear is much longer than the choppers of Hongxing gangsters. Before the opponent is close, there are a few more blood holes in his body. How can I fight this?

Of course, this is on the field battlefield. The spear is long, which is conducive to head-on confrontation. But if you come to the city alleys of Xiangjiang, then it is another situation. In a small space, a 6-meter spear is difficult to turn, and facing a machete may not win. Of course, if you change to a sword and shield soldier, you can also play the fool.

The spearman's duel is the most exciting, but the musketeer's duel is much more boring. After all, it's more of a target practice than a fight. There is no blood in it. But on the real battlefield, the barrels of these muskets were sprayed to death, and the armor didn't work ...

In the cavalry game, because there is no duel, it looks more like a fancy equestrian game. Unlike equestrian competitions, riders need to **** the swaying grass ball with a spear ...

Because Marin himself doesn't like bulky lances, Marlin's cavalry, when charging, basically use a spear, which is similar to the Eastern cavalry.

However, the disadvantage of using a spear is that the cavalry cannot rush too fast. Because, if the cavalry rushes too fast, the impact force is too strong, and the reaction force is even greater. If you use the hollow lance, you can also use the rifle to break to cast the recoil. With a spear, it is not easy to break like a hollow lance. Therefore, the Asian cavalry has two solutions when using a spear to charge-one is to reduce the horse speed and avoid too large a recoil; the other is to choose to let go and discard the spear when it is really unbearable.

Therefore, the Eastern cavalry, although they like to use a spear when charging. However, they were also equipped with cavalry knives such as scimitars, so that after discarding the spears, they pulled out the cavalry knives to continue the fight.

Right now, the cavalry of the Crimean Khanate uses this method-starting with a spear. However, if the recoil force is too high, the Crimean cavalry will throw away their spears and pull out the scimitar to continue the fight.

Later, the Polish Lancers in the Napoleonic Army mainly used two weapons, spears and sabers. The spear is mainly used for the first charge and the impact of infantry. When impacting the infantry, the cavalry can slow down completely. Because even if the speed is slowed, the cavalry is very impactful to the infantry. Moreover, at full speed, the spear is not easy to let go.

At present, the cavalry under Marin is temporarily using a spear and slowing down to perform an overall charge.

Marin now also wants to understand why the wall charge will slow down. In addition to the necessity of maintaining a neat formation, the fear of too fast a rush to cause excessive recoil is also an important reason.

However, after slowing down the speed, the impact of the cavalry really dropped a lot ...

In the face of the plate armoured knight, the cavalry's impact is not enough. Moreover, because the plate armor knight's protection is too high, the spear is difficult to pierce. What's more, the plate armor knight itself has strong impact. After rushing to each other, the spears of the cavalry cannot be guaranteed. And if you throw your hand, the cavalry will definitely not beat the knight ...

It is for this reason that Marin hoped to go to the East so as to find the manufacturing method of the Eastern Ma Cha to compensate for the weakness of the cavalry weapons. Ma Chan can be reused because it can cast energy by bending. Unlike the Cavalry Cavalry's hollow lance, it is easy to break after a rush, and it is useless when it is broken. You need to go back and change the lance.

And if Marin ’s Lancers had horses that were not easy to break, that would be great. The other party ’s lance is broken and they have to go back to change their weapons, but the Marlin cavalry ’s horse is not broken.

However, Marin is not sure now that he can find the production process of Ma Chao in the East. Moreover, even if found, many of those materials are not available in Europe. In addition, the cost of Ma Chan is very high ...

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, Ma Chan was generally owned by the general family. Ordinary people simply cannot afford Ma Cha. Qin Qiong and Cheng Biaojin, commanders of the strongest Xuanjia Army under Li Shimin, are good at using Ma Cha. Moreover, they have a common identity-after the former government officials ...

As for Chi Gong, another commander of the Xuanjia Army, although he was of ordinary background, others were born in the blacksmith family and played iron in his early years. Ma Lin believes that when Wei Chigong played iron in his early years, he should have been in contact with Ma Chan, which might be a blacksmith who specialized in building weapons. Otherwise, he will not be proficient in horse fighting and become an important general of the Xuanjia Army.

However, the production cost of Ma Chan is too high. Not only are the materials expensive and difficult to find, but the craftsmanship is very demanding and time-consuming. According to records, a horse chaff not only consumes a lot of precious materials, but also has a production cycle of up to three years, and the pass rate of the finished product is low, and the cost is very alarming. A powerful feudal dynasty like the Sui Dynasty, but a total of 5,000 Youzhou Tieqi using horses and horses were formed. The commander is Luo Yi. And Luo Yi, relying on these 5,000 armored horses, steadily guarded the northern frontier and hindered the Turkic cavalry from going south. In the period of Emperor Sui Wen, he also took the initiative to attack the Turkic cavalry. The Xuanjia Cavalry of the early Tang Dynasty actually had only one or two thousand people.

It can be seen that the production cost of Ma Chan is too high and the production cycle is too long. The future war will definitely be a battle of large groups. The elite cavalry who use a small amount of horses may have a great effect, or a small effect, which is difficult to make clear. Therefore, Marin has begun to doubt the correctness of his original decision to go to Daming to find the production method of Ma Cha and to form an elite cavalry unit using Ma Cha ...

When Marin was in deep contemplation, beside him, the number one squadron, Kane, the bodyguard headman with Dian Wei as a template, suddenly jumped up and shouted. It seems that I saw a wonderful performance of a cavalry ...

"Okay!" Kahn jumped on the carriage, and when he fell, he weighed heavily and pushed the carriage down a few centimeters ...

However, the four axles of the carriage have springs on their support shafts. So, although the carriage was pushed down by Kahn's bounce for a few centimeters, it quickly bounced back ...

However, this shock still awakened Marin and made Marin startled ...

But soon, Marin's eyes shine straight ...

"I really want to find the inspiration for the new lance instead of Ma Cha ..."

What inspiration did Marin have? From the deformation and recovery of the car just now, he thought-whether it is possible to install a spring on the barrel of the rifle to buffer the recoil when telling the collision ...

Tell Mercedes ’cavalry that the impact is bound to be amazing. Hitting the target with a lance point will definitely bring a huge recoil.

However, if a spring is installed on the barrel, most of the recoil can be fully removed to avoid the knight's arm fracture.

The specific method can refer to the spring on the axle. Marin intends to install a spring with good elasticity in the handshaking position of the rifle, and put it on the barrel of the gun. At the front of the spring, a joint is set to catch the spring.

Then, the knight's handle position, put on an iron pipe. Between the iron pipe and the joint, there is a spring that covers the barrel of the gun ...

The front part of the rifle, imitating the eastern horse chap, uses a half-sword model. This allows the lance to be used not only to stab enemies, but also to be used as a sabre, swipe, and make a cameo when the stab does not hit.

...

During the charge, the tip of the rifle-shaped horse's gun touches the enemy first. Because of the high-speed charge of the cavalry, and the sharpness of the horseman-type spear itself, its kinetic energy must be very powerful. Even if no one is holding a rifle, such a heavy horse's head, relying on the inertial impact of high-speed movement alone, is enough to knock down the enemy that the gun touched or hit the horse.

But such powerful kinetic energy will also bring huge recoil ...

If there is no buffering method, the knight's arm will definitely be scrapped by the recoil.

However, in the spring lance designed by Marin, the knight is holding the steel sleeve behind the spring, and a strong spring is separated from the lance.

When the huge recoil force comes, it first reaches the joint part, and then transmits the recoil force to the spring. It is then transmitted to the steel casing by the spring.

However, because of the contraction of the spring, most of the recoil can be removed. When the power is transmitted to the knight's arm, there is little left, and the knight's arm cannot be discarded ...

After repeated thinking, Marin thought that this design was very reasonable. The only problem is that the spring connecting the steel casing and the lance is very demanding.

At least, the craftsmen of this era cannot be made. But Marin is different. Previously, he had made artisans such as Ada, apart from carbon spring steel, have all the materials to make such a high-energy spring. Then, tin is plated on the surface of the spring to ensure that the spring has strong performance and can fully ensure that it does not rust.

Of course ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Tin plating is not the best choice. Because, if the tin plating layer is worn out, the spring will rust. But Marin is now sending people to find the Bakens lead-zinc mine on Newfoundland. When the zinc mine is found and zinc smelting is started, then the galvanized spring will have stronger anti-rust ability and more durable.

Moreover, because only Marin has professional spring steel in the world, although it is the lowest carbon spring steel in the industrial age of later generations, others can't make it. In this way, Marin not only solved the problem of the huge recoil of lances, but also achieved a monopoly in technology and materials. Even if other people want to copy the spring riding gun like a cottage, there is no qualified spring ...

Thinking of this, Marin laughed proudly. After the laugh, he asked the herald soldier to return to China to convey Marin's order-to keep the manufacturing secret of spring steel strictly confidential. At the same time, began to develop a high-energy spring for the spear barrel ...

Once researched, the cavalrymen under Marin can use spring cavalry to launch an impact on the enemy at high speed. And when the speed is low, they can also hold the part other than the spring system and use the spring lance as an ordinary spear ...

The most important thing is that this lance is not a one-time use, cavalry can use this lance to continue fighting. Moreover, similar to the tip of the gun of the horse, the cavalry can use the lance as a saber with a long handle, and use the blade to sweep the left and right to cut the enemy ...
