Chapter 751： Test

Shen Rui and Liu Meng, the two ambassadors, patronized the big ship, but did not notice what the batch of guns for Daming was. Although there are guns on the ship, they are all mounted on wooden four-wheel gun mounts.

When the gunners of the Grand Duchy of the North Sea, with the help of the generals of Ming Dynasty, pushed 40 Folang cannons to the shooting range, Shen Rui and Liu Meng were surprised to find that-these entered the public, I always wanted to treat Fan Bang. The 40 bronze cannons of Shanggong in the Beihai Kingdom, although of high value, will the return of the courtesy be lighter? In short, they will definitely be satisfied. "

"Brother Zixian makes sense!"

...

As the two ambassadors talked, 40 artillery pieces were ready to be put in place ...

"The arrangement of the Western artillery is so fast!" Liu Meng, who knows a little about the military, exclaimed.

Just at the time of their chat, 10 of the 40 artillery pieces had been deployed to the intended location and aimed at the target. This speed is incredible in Liu Meng's eyes.

You know, Daming's artillery is a thick barrel. On the battlefield, the soldiers of the artillery battalion had to use the poles and ropes to lift the thick gun barrel to the front of the position. Then, dig a pit with a **** to arrange the artillery.

But the copper cannons of Beihai, because of the wheels, were simply arranged—the artillery pushed the gun carriage to the front, placed the **** behind the gun mount on the ground, and then began to visually aim.

Of course, the **** of this era is different from that of modern artillery. Because modern artillery has a recoil machine and a muzzle brake to counteract recoil, the modern artillery's **** often needs to be fixed on the ground. Before deployment, we must dig a pit to fix the hoe, to avoid the movement of the artillery after the bombardment and affect the second shot.

However, the artillery of this era obviously does not have hydraulic retreat and muzzle brakes. Therefore, after each bombardment, the huge recoil will be transferred to the gun mount, and finally to the point where the **** is in contact with the ground. Eventually, the artillery will retreat as a whole.

Therefore, after the shelling, the artillery needed to push the artillery back to its original taste. This practice is called reset ...

Whether it is an infantry gun or a naval naval gun, there is this process. Of course, naval guns will use ropes to pull the gun mount. The huge recoil produced by the naval gun will break the rope. This process will offset the recoil of most gunboats. Otherwise, the retreat of the gun mount may be large.

However, infantry artillery is less troublesome. When deploying, there will be several cone-shaped iron members resembling nails in the place where the **** touches the ground. During deployment, these "nails" will pick up the dirt. After the shelling, the gun mount recedes, and the touch points will use the friction with the ground to counteract the recoil, so as to reduce the distance the gun car recedes.

The reset of this infantry artillery is very simple-just return to the original position. Before firing, the artillery will draw white lines on the initial deployment site with lime. After the shelling, the artillery pushed the artillery back to the white line position, which was extremely simple.

And re-aiming is relatively simple. Why? Because the artillery of this era is generally flat fired. The enemy is generally only two or three hundred meters away. At this distance, there is no need to calculate the trajectory, as long as the muzzle is directed directly in front of it, at most, the muzzle is slightly raised. The role of Wangshan and the sight is to let the artillery see the target in front and the muzzle aligned ...

According to the agreement, the soldiers of the Thousand Houses erected several broken doors a hundred steps away from the shooting range as targets for shelling. If you can break the goal within a hundred steps, it is definitely a very powerful old gun ... Ab, it is an old gunner ...

In the Guangzhou avant-garde, a gunner who can accurately hit a hundred-step outer target with an artillery on the shooting range can count it with one hand. Moreover, those who can do this are basically middle-aged men of uncle level.

However, the Beihai artillery brought by Kong Tai this time were all young people, not even a middle-aged man who looked reliable.

According to the traditional concept of the Daming people-"no hair on the mouth, not firm in work", can these young gunners really hit the goal of a hundred steps away?

In the eyes of the officials and soldiers of Daming who were expecting or watching jokes, the artillery of the Beihai Kingdom were preparing in an orderly manner ...

Because it is a gun for Daming, it is natural to use powdered gunpowder instead of granular gunpowder. To this end, before the North Sea artillery fired, they had to be busy with one thing-stirring gunpowder ...

This is because black gunpowder is actually a mixture of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal, rather than a single compound. The three substances have different densities. After long-distance transportation, after bumps, it is prone to stratification-the lower the density, the lower, and the lighter upward ...

Therefore, in the era of powder gunpowder, the artillery had to use a wooden spoon to gently stir the gunpowder powder before firing the gun, before they could charge. The same is true if you switch to Musketeers.

After the gunpowder powder is stirred, it is officially loaded with ammunition. The loading method of the Bronze rear gun of the Francis machine is very peculiar, because-it is a rear loading ...

A Fran cannon is usually equipped with several sub-cylinders. What is a sub-cylinder? In fact, it is similar to the copper shell bullets of later generations. Of course, unlike the copper shell bullets of later generations, the copper shell bullets were already installed. The Fang machine gun's guns need to be loaded on site.

With the surprised eyes of the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the young gunners of the Beihai Kingdom easily filled all five sub-cylinders with gunpowder, pressed the iron ball shells, and stuffed them with rags to hold their breath. Of course, also put a fuze into Zi Kun's eyes ...

After a series of preparations, the gunners of Beihai began to perform ...

"Reload--"

Following the command of the commander, the artillery put the first sub-cylinder into Fran's cannon. In order to achieve closure, the front end of Zigong is embedded in the barrel. Therefore, after Zi Zi is put in, there will be a push forward action, so that Zi Jun and the barrel fit better. Subsequently, a wooden bolt will be placed in the back to prevent Zi Kun from retreating and affecting the normal bombardment ...

After loading Zigong, the loader immediately stood up and saluted, indicating that the filling was completed ...

Seeing all the 10 loaders salute, indicating that they were all filled, the commander drew out the command knife and shouted:

"Fire!"

At the same time, the command knife was heavily hacked. Of course, it's air ...

Suddenly, 10 torches leaned on the fuze ...

In fact, when fighting in Europe, the artillery used not torches, but fire ropes. However, in the era when Daming had not yet obtained the matchlock technology, Marin felt that the torch was more grounded ...

Soon, the fuses of the 10 artillery pieces were all burned out. Then, bursts of "bang-bang-bang-bang-bang ..."

After the smoke dissipated, everyone turned their attention to the field ...

Daming officials and soldiers were surprised to find out-10 goals were used to break the target ~ www.novelhall.com ~ 6 fans were dismantled ...

"Six out of ten, it's amazing!" Liu Meng, who understood slightly, exclaimed.

But soon, the famous soldier sent to observe the results returned even more alarming news-there were 4 broken doors that were not dismantled, and 3 of them had a round hole ... Obviously, this was hit, but The quality of the broken door is good, and it has not been smashed ...

So, that is to say, in this round of shelling, 10 Fran machine guns actually 10 out of 9. In the Daming artillery, this is definitely an achievement against the sky ...

But what made Da Ming officials and soldiers dumbfounded was that when they learned that the eighth Frang cannon had missed, the artillery commander ran angrily to the eighth gun and observed the artillery responsible Hand, slammed a big ear scraper ...

"Waste, I can't aim at this close!" The artillery commander's roar rang through the school grounds. After Kong Tai ’s translation, Daming officials and soldiers who learned the contents of the artillery commander ’s roar were stunned ...
