Chapter 370: Four Non-Elephants

There were also reinforcements from Laiyuanlou camp, including 5,000 Guizhou soldiers from Tianjin and a batch of armies. The main general was Qin Bangping's younger brother Qin Bangyi, and Sun Yuanhua led a group of craftsmen to volunteer to come to the rescue. Ma Cheng was very happy to place reinforcements and headed towards the capital.

After giving in, General Yuan was still nostalgic and saved people from water and fire. Five thousand Guizhou soldiers were good at mountain warfare, and the craftsmen led by Sun Yuanhua solved their urgent needs. After asking, they found out that these reinforcements arrived from Tianjin.

Shanhaiwei, when Shanhaiwei gets off the boat along the Great Wall to Xifengkou, this circle is so big.

Yuan Chonghuan was also a famous minister throughout the ages. He was awakened by Ma Cheng and realized that the transportation capacity of the Great Wall could be fully utilized.

Although this passage has gone a long way, it is better to be safe and stable. Although transporting troops along the Great Wall is slow, it really tear a big hole in the rear of the enemy army. The troops will be transported first by sea and then on the Great Wall. You can go all the way from Shanhaiguan

When I arrived in Shanxi, I was still alive and I thought that this was also the original intention of the ancients to build the Great Wall. After spending such a large cost to build a Great Wall, its function is far more than just warnings.

Sun Yuanhua also brought a batch of weapons, which shocked Ma Cheng as soon as he took them out. What kind of monster did he create? This brother Sun was really full of fantasy ideas. The secret weapons he brought were larger than guns.

, smaller than the cannon, it would be fine if a monster with four no elephant came out, but it was actually three tied together, looking like a triple-mounted battleship naval gun, three thick and long guns were as long as two and a half meters long

, weighing about 300 kilograms, such a heavy monster can no longer be called a single weapon. A strange thing between cannon and gun is still a triple-unit.

Ma Cheng's chin is almost falling off. What is this thing? Sun Yuanhua's black technology? This monster weighs 300 kilograms and both strong men can't lift it. This is not difficult for Sun Yuanhua. This guy will turn this monster.

The thing was transplanted to the rocket car, which was a wheelbarrow for loading rockets. It could be pushed by one person easily, and pushed from Shanhaiguan to Xifengkou, causing Ma Cheng's mouth to twitch uncontrollably.

This thing is too weird, it is made of bronze, fully inheriting the characteristics of Liao arms as stupid and silly.

It's not suitable to say it's a cannon, it's even more inappropriate to say it's a gun. Ma Cheng thought about it for a while and understood that this thing is a triple-mounted large-sized coercion, which is equivalent to a three-bar super-large coercion

It takes four people to operate side by side, two people push the cart in turn, one is responsible for loading, and the other is responsible for launching. Has this strange thing ever appeared in history? Ma Cheng vaguely remembers it in a certain American western film

I've seen something similar.

It seems to be the defensive fence of the American Western cowboys, and they like to use this multi-jointed mesh gun that is tied together the most.

Sun Yuanhua also said proudly: "How?"

Ma Cheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He gave him 100,000 taels of silver a year to build cannons in Tianjin, but the cannon did not cause such a thing, and he wanted to cry without tears. Naturally, he also understood Sun Yuanhua's difficulties and for him

The requirements are too high. Front-mounted smoothbore field guns weighing about a thousand kilograms. In this era, even the West cannot build them. Cannons made of bronze cannons can often cost two or three thousand kilograms. They also need to consider the range, length of the cannon body, and thickness of the cannon chamber.

It is a systematic project to casting.

After careful consideration, Sun Yuanhua fiddled with this triad-mounted strange thing, which is useless for field battles, and is a powerful tool for defense to become a city. The reason is very simple. This strange thing is equivalent to a three-bar large musket and comes with a stand.

, One soldier can be used as three. In urban offensive and defensive battles, of course, the fewer people on the city wall, the better. The more people, the more crowded they are, the greater the casualties they suffer when shooting, and the fewer people, the lower the casualties rate.

.

Test shots, picked an unmanned valley and tested several shots.

The first shot was two miles away, and Ma Cheng also figured it out. Isn't this just a triple-mounted gun? It's just that the triple-mounted one is too strange. After all, Sun Yuanhua was a scientific researcher who had never fought a war and made such a thing.

It is not surprising that a clumsy weird thing is related to the weapon design ideas of the Ming Dynasty. From trains and rockets to three-eyed guns and five-eyed guns, the weapon design ideas of the Ming Dynasty all attach importance to front-row firepower.

This is the field tactics of the Ming Dynasty. They slew cannons in the front row, slew muskets in the second line, and slew horses in the middle army slew horses. They pursued a large-scale killing of firepower in a short period of time, so there were rocket cars and five-eyed guns.

It's great to fire a volley, but it's extremely difficult to load it. The bird gun responsible for continuous firepower is too weak. It can't shoot the step bow of the Later Jin, and it can't take the earth tank of the Later Jin, so it's impossible.

It was defeated by a wave. This kind of tactic is very effective in fighting the Mongolian light cavalry. Two hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty used this tactic to defeat the Mongolian light cavalry.

Two hundred years have passed, this unchanging tactic has become too far behind, and the Ming Dynasty's opponent has also changed. Fighting against the enemy with strong infantry combat capabilities, this first wave of firepower can't defeat the opponent, the earth tank, until

The machine gun era can still play a role, let alone the end of the Ming Dynasty. Quilts stained with water, earthen tanks made of sand and soil can be blocked by heavy machine gun bullets, let alone the weak muskets equipped by the Ming Dynasty.

The tactics that the Ming Dynasty lasted for two hundred years should have been abandoned and had been understood by the enemy long ago. Sun Yuanhua's design idea was also wrong, because the maneuverability of these three-unit strange things was too poor, and in Macheng's military concept,

The most important thing in fighting against the Later Jin Dynasty is mobility. This strange thing really does not meet the needs of the Kaiyuan Army. Horse City is to build an iron cavalry that can rush into formation, infantry that can ride horses, and field artillery that can build horses, and have been attacked on a large scale.

Just leave. The enemy is strong and we are weak. This tactical concept seems extremely effective and always makes great achievements.

Despite this, Ma Cheng still came up with a way to kill the three-piece gun.

The most advanced rifled rifle in this era is too forced to use to complete snipers, because it can never solve the airtight problem. If the airtight problem cannot be solved, it cannot solve the range problem. However, the strange thing Sun Yuanhua shot provides another

A way out, the grenade gun was built to a larger scale, so the range problem was solved. Sun Yuanhua also designed it as a genius triple unit, one is to increase the weight and increase the stability of the shooting, and the other is that if one shot fails to hit, you can shoot again

Two shots, this strange thing is a powerful weapon for snipers.

This monster is much more accurate with cannons, and it is definitely aimed at the point where it is pointed. The powerful infantry's direct aiming weapon is aimed at.

Ma Cheng recalled that there was also this kind of infantry direct aiming weapon called leather cannons, and the shooting ideas were exactly the same. It seems that it is not that strange to think about this strange thing. You can refer to the usage of Western leather cannons.

The leather cannon is a copper cannon wrapped in leather. It seems to be invented by the Nordic Continental Army. Gustav II's proud masterpiece was invented by a Swiss mathematician.

Ma Cheng once saw this record. The biggest problem with this thing is the heat dissipation problem. It becomes hot and hot after a few shots. Not only can it not be recharged, but it will also burn the gunner, because the gun body is too long and it will easily explode, so it will be very fast.

It was abandoned by Gustav II, but I don’t know if Gu Second Master had ever imagined that this thing is actually very valuable and is very effective to use it to target the enemy’s important targets.

Long body tube means high accuracy, straight aiming, long range and great power, not uselessness. Hiding in the dark to shoot cold guns and cold cannons requires solving the problem of heat dissipation. No, lift it up and leave after the shot. Whether it can hit it is necessary.

It depends on luck. Thinking of the ideal usage of this strange thing, Ma Cheng became enthusiastic and mobilized a group of veterans to start the sharpshooters in Kaiyuan Army, and stepped up the practice of familiarizing themselves with the characteristics of lifting guns. Three or four shooters brought six or seven auxiliary soldiers.
