Chapter 1334： Artillery

For a time, the musketeers of the left wing of the coalition forces of the Eight Kingdoms and the right wing of the army of the North China Sea fell into a strange circle of "harming each other."

If you consider the tactics of later generations, the best option for the Beihai Musketeer is to charge with bayonet. However, in this era, it is unwise to charge with bayonet. Because, three quarters of the opponent's soldiers are spearmen. Every bayonet, in front of a few meters of spear, is not enough to look at.

In addition, this is also the first large-scale musket-to-firing war in European history, and the opportunity is rare. The reason why Marin let his men shoot at the opponent stupidly is to let his soldiers adapt to this kind of brutal shooting.

Why is it that the musket is extremely cruel to shooting? Because, being hit by tens of grams of spherical lead bullets, it is basically not good. The damage caused by dozens of grams of lead bullets is too great. What is more terrible is that the spherical lead bullets will roll in the human body and stir the flesh. Once the lead shot hits the human body, it will never stop without disturbing a large blood hole. of course there are exceptions. That is, the lead shot hit the bone ...

However, it is as miserable as that. Because, this means that the bones will be broken or even broken by lead bullets. Even if it can be saved, it will become crippled.

Also, lead bullets are poisonous. After entering the human body, it will adversely affect the human body. In addition, when the lead projectile is shot into the human body, it will also carry the victim's clothes and other fragments into the body. The rag fragments of the clothes, including the lead bullet itself, are very dirty. If it comes into contact with flesh and blood, it is easy to get infected.

Therefore, when Marin watched movies of the old and beautiful South American War in his last life, the doctor always saw the legs of the soldiers who were shot in the leg and amputated. As a result, the shooting of this spherical lead shot is cruel.

Even more, the damage of this ball-shaped lead projectile is much heavier than that of the pointed projectiles of later generations. Later generations of pointed bullets, although more powerful, have a longer range. However, when ingested into the human body, it will not roll violently. If it is a steel warhead, it is likely to pass through the human body, leaving a blood hole in the body directly. Such a wound, as long as it does not hit the vital point and the artery, is bandaged, pay attention to hemostasis and disinfection, and it will be fine. The smaller the bullet caliber, the smaller the damage.

For example, the three-eighth cover of the devil during the War of Resistance Against Japan, because of its small caliber, only 6.5 millimeters, plus a long range and great power. As a result, he hit the Eighth Route Army and passed through, leaving only a blood hole. Many 8th Route Army soldiers, who had bandaged the blood hole and continued to fight, did nothing. It's Hanyang and Hezhong, because of the large diameter of 7.92mm and the close range, its bullets tend to stay in the body after being injected into the body (if the pointed bullet stays in the body, it will also have a certain rollover effect), and the damage is higher. Of course, this means shooting at close range. If it is a long-range shot, it must be the 38th strong.

The spherical lead projectile is different, because the shape resistance of the spherical projectile is large. Generally, it will definitely stay in the human body after being injected into the human body. In addition, it will roll and stir in the human body, and the injury is often much larger than the pointed bullet. If it is shot, it is more deadly than being hit by a modern rifle.

...

Right now, the two musketeers shooting on the battlefield have the deepest feelings about this. In particular, those unlucky eggs that were shot. At this moment, they are sore and desperate ...

In contrast, the 50-gram projectiles of the musketeers in Geldenbog are more harmful. Dozens of Beihai Musketeers were shot and several of them were killed on the spot. And those who survived are either not far from death or doomed.

But before they died or were crippled, they could only fall to the ground and wailing in pain ...

However, war is cruel. They will not stop wailing because of their pain, they will stop the pace of war. The two sides continued to shoot, but the Musketeers of the North Sea State took advantage.

Why? Because the gunmen in the North Sea country use clockwork. Because there is no fire rope, I am not afraid to accidentally ignite the ammunition of the comrades on the side. Therefore, the musketeers in the North Sea are arranged closer and the firepower is denser. The musketeers in Geldenberg, because they are using matchlocks, have to be separated by 1 meter from each other. In terms of firepower density, it is naturally inferior to opponents.

In addition, the clockwork flare gun is faster than the matchlock gun. Because, when the matchlock gun is loaded, the matchstick must first be removed from the fixture. Then, start filling ammunition again. After installing the ammunition, the fire rope tied to the left hand must be clamped again to the fixture on the firearm. Then adjust it so that it can smoothly extend the head of the burning rope into the gunpowder pool after pulling the trigger.

As a result, the charging speed of the matchlock slowed down. Malin's clockwork flares have an average loading time of only about 30 seconds. The Geldenbosch matchlock gun takes at least 1 minute to load.

At the beginning, when the first three-stroke hit, it was not visible. But after the first round of three-shot, the gap showed up-the second round of the three-stage shot of the musketeer in the North Sea country began quickly, while the musketeer of the Geldenbog country, more than 30 seconds later Time to restart the second round of three strikes ...

Taking advantage of this 30 seconds of waiting, the commander of the Beihai State Musketeers took the opportunity to send someone to carry the injured musketeer to the back and sent to the field hospital for emergency treatment ...

After several rounds of shooting ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The commander of the Musketeer in Beihai felt wrong-why did the local Musketeer fall more than the other? However, he didn't have time to think about anything else, he could only gritt his teeth and continue to shoot ...

...

At this time, the Chinese army and left wing of the Beihai Kingdom were not idle-they were waiting for the artillery of the coalition forces of the eight kingdoms ...

Sure enough, 40 small bronze guns appeared in the Chinese army of the coalition forces of the Eight Kingdoms ...

The 40 bronze cannons were the home of the princes of the Eight Kingdoms. They were collected by the eight princes together, and were specifically used to attack the Chinese army of the North Sea army. However, these guns are not large in caliber, generally only one pound or two pounds, the largest is three pounds. Moreover, its style is also the most popular Flange rear gun in Europe.

Originally, these artillery pieces should have been placed in front of the formation early. Because these artillery are old guns without a gun frame and ears, only a bare barrel. Before each battle, people must be dispatched to dig and be buried in front of the formation.

However, Charlie, the Earl of Gelden, thought that setting up so many artillery too early would scare Marin out of the city. Therefore, these artillery were not pulled to the front, but were hidden in the middle of the battle.

When the left-wing musketeers of the coalition forces first started shooting each other with the Beihai musketeers, the coalition artillery hidden in the middle of the middle road was finally carried to the front and began to dig and bury ...

And Marin, who had been watching with a telescope at a high position after the array, also ordered at this time:

"It's finally out! It's just waiting for you! The order, our three-pound gun should also be on the stage!"

Therefore, under the rhythmic command of the bugle, the Beihai Army Middle Route Army also pulled out dozens of three-pound guns from the inside to the front, aiming at the artillery position opposite ...
