Chapter 1084 The Yarkand Army is Destroyed 2
The reason why artillery is heavy is because when the explosive charge is detonated, the pressure in the front and rear of the barrel is different.
The pressure is greatest at the rear of the gun, and the closer it is to the muzzle, the smaller the pressure is.
Therefore, when casting, the back should be thick enough and the front should be appropriately thin.
The weird thing about the Fran cannon is that the ammunition is loaded in the sub-gun, which means that the maximum pressure is borne by the sub-gun. In this way, the barrel can be made very thin.
If the gun explodes or is damaged, just replace it immediately. The barrel is connected front and rear, the barrel is thin, and the heat dissipation is super good. These all lead to a high rate of fire and a duration of continuous firing.
Generally, Folang machine guns are equipped with five blunderbuss.
Before Yang Fan set off for the expedition, he brought all the artillery in the Beijing camp and the firearms from the warehouses of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. All were tested with twice the charge, and those that did not explode were taken away. Those that did explode were returned to the furnace and remade.
Yang Fan used the scraps from the blasted barrels to cast a large number of muskets. Twenty muskets were prepared for each Fran cannon. All of them were loaded with ammunition in advance. Just plug them in and fire.
Su Litang knew that at this time, there was no way to stop the attack. He could only bite the bullet and rush out. He could only pray that the Ming army's guns would soon be exhausted.
Bang bang bang! Another round of Fran cannon fire, and a large number of people rushing in front fell again. More than a hundred people were killed or injured.
The purpose is not to scare the enemy. The weak psychological suggestion is very terrifying when the crossbow arrows are fired. People will naturally dodge, thereby disrupting the enemy's military formation. Once the formation is chaotic, your infantry formation will be attacked.
Make.
Although the frog mouth helmet looks very funny, the protective power of that kind of helmet is the pinnacle of the era of hot weapons. The performance is very beneficial.
At the same time, a pulley block boosting system and a ratchet decocking system are installed inside the receiver. As long as the decocking lever on the side of the receiver is pulled from the back to the front, the decocking is completed, similar to the charging handle of a rifle.
The artillerymen naturally gave us priority.
In order to save money, Chongzhen bought bucket helmets for the soldiers. He bought pig-head helmets for the banner and the general banner. He bought beak helmets for the hundreds of families of the sentry captain. And the battalion commanders were all direct descendants of Xungui.
We are equipped with the frog mouth helmet with the worst protection produced by Zijia.
Whoosh! Seven hundred crossbow arrows also flew down into the sky.
Yang Fan put down the telescope and knew in his heart that there were still too few firearms in Jingying.
Sparse bows and arrows landed under shields, plate armor, and helmets. Apart from a jingling sound, they had no effect.
We haven't lost our emotions yet. What we don't have is obedience and fighting. Thinking too much is not doing anything.
The screams fell from the sky, which immediately shook the morale of the attacking Sulitang infantry. When the bad guys saw those white dots thrown, they naturally knew that they were arrows from crossbows. In that era, there was also no firing of dysprosium.
As the fighting became less and less, we gradually became silent from shouting and shouting.
That means the distance between the two sides has not reached 170 meters.
The range of that kind of artillery would be too far. In the naval battle film "The Battle of Mingliang" shot by Bangzi, the difference between those of us and the Anzhai ship in the big book is very small. Please note that these artillery are short-bodied and have handles. They are not Xiaoming.
The little generals and the seventh general cannon, the eighth general cannon, etc.
There were no nearly a hundred casualties in each round of shelling. In the blink of an eye, not even ten rounds of shelling had been fired. Nearly a thousand people fell on the path of the charge.
The Folan cannon continued to fire at a rate of one round every ten seconds, constantly bombarding the enemy.
The crossbow arrows that screamed and fell from the sky directly penetrated the Suilong Zhuang of Sulitang officers and soldiers.
However, when fighting, marching can also be carried out at the same time.
Facing the surging Suri Tang army from behind, the defenders were extremely intimidated. We were shrinking and forming a tight square formation, preparing for a period of hot weapons combat.
Swish, swish, before a sparse sound, a small batch of bows and arrows fell outside the infantry array of the Beijing camp. When the Long Zhuangli men bent their bows, the Beijing camp raised their shields. We were still wearing plate armor, carrying
helmet.
Only if you fail to break the formation can you be trapped in it.
Moreover, those artillery pieces are all large artillery pieces, and there is not even one heavy cannon. Although the Small General Cannon and the Seventh General Cannon have large calibers, their barrels are short and thick, and their weight is not considered small. In particular, there are no two handles under the gun body.
If a few people use wooden poles, they cannot carry it away with ropes.
A silent army is a terrible army. Only then did Zijia confirm that all the hard work I had put in over the past year had finally been in vain. Facing a battle formation with no time to prepare, it was the same as eating, drinking, and sleeping. Only that kind of army could
He can fight tough battles.
The Suli Tang people finally rushed within the range of the bow and arrow. Our rear team held large bucklers and scimitars. The officers and soldiers in the front used cavalry horn bows to shoot.
The crossbow arrow has no tail feathers, is very short, and is made of pure steel. The pulling force of the crossbow is much smaller than that of the bow, so the muzzle velocity of the crossbow arrow is slower and the speed is lower. The momentum is small, and the armor-piercing ability is greater than that of the bow arrow.
.
However, nothing comes at a price. Before the tail feathers stabilize the trajectory, they will also produce minimal resistance, resulting in an increase in speed and an increase in range.
Every very short time, instead of a row of flames and gunpowder smoke spurting out, a blazing lead ball directly penetrated the Longzhuang people. The cavalry of more than a thousand people who rushed behind suffered heavy losses because we rushed slowly.
, running behind. Moreover, the cavalry target is small and difficult to aim.
Eight infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments, with a total of 700 steel crossbows, also ended their firing.
The Beijing Camp did not purchase a certain number of steel crossbows, and each regiment only had about a hundred steel crossbows. Those steel crossbows were made from the shock-absorbing spring steel of used automobiles sent from the Xincheng Arsenal.
The officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp looked at the enemies rushing down behind them with indifference. Their faces were expressionless, but they just followed the whistles and the officers' shouts, automatically formed a tight formation, and tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands. Quietly
Waiting for orders.
As Yerqiang's war horse whined, its left hind leg was penetrated by a crossbow arrow. The war horse knelt up, snatched me out from under the horse's mane, and threw me directly to the ground.
Ye Erqiang quickly dodged to avoid being trampled by the horses in front of him, and took the opportunity to retreat out of a large pit next to him.
