Chapter 540 Track

It is said to be a wooden track, but in fact, some iron pieces are nailed to the parts that need to be fixed.

Sun Yuanhua was sweating profusely and directed the auxiliary soldiers, anxiously saying, "Slow down, slower, don't crush it."

The auxiliary soldiers responsible for transporting the cannons were cautious and drove the cattle and horses to slowly move the cannon weighing 1,500 kilograms. The wooden track seemed to be unable to bear the weight, making an unpleasant friction sound, causing Sun Yuanhua to jump up and down. This is a plate-type wooden

The first use of railroad tracks in the history of Eastern military was also the result of the painstaking development of Sun Yuanhua and a group of students. Ma Cheng was very excited about this type of plate-type rail. Isn’t this the original version of the train cannon?

When the Ming Dynasty bid farewell to the rigid Confucian era of ruling thoughts, there will be more and more creations. This kind of wooden track designed to transport cannons was not an invention of Sun Yuanhua, but an old Chinese

The inventions of our ancestors were found in animal power tracks as early as the Qin Dynasty. There were wooden tracks, carriage retreats, zigzag winding mountain roads, and other amazing inventions.

Whether there were wooden tracks in the Qin Dynasty, whether there were wooden tracks or not, it was a fact that ancient China had long invented them. Sun Yuanhua and his students found inspiration from the records of classics, using logs as tracks and fixed them with iron sheets.

He created these magical inventions, plate-type tracks dragged by cattle and horses. Don’t underestimate these simple tracks, which include a series of scientific principles such as geometry, basic mechanics, and standardized processing. This is science and technology

The power of

This kind of wooden track has a very poor load bearing and is easily damaged. It is usually scrapped after a few times of use. However, as the commander of the three armies, in the eyes of Macheng, this is enough. A small scientific invention is enough to change the outcome of a war

This is the powerful power of modern science. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. It is also a great truth that the wild boar skins on the other side of the river will never understand. This is also the original sin of Confucianism.

How many great inventions in Chinese history have been slandered by Confucianism as strange tricks and lewds, and were ruined in vain. While their minds were turned, the two artillery whistles secretly moved to the frontier positions with the help of simple wooden tracks, and the floating soil on the ground was scattered.

When the four tracks actually extended to the river bank, a group of auxiliary soldiers carefully moved the cannon to the range, and then started to set up the cannon, load and aim.

The enemy army on the other side found something wrong at this time, and the enemy soldiers on the watchtower shouted anxiously.

However, the 18-pound cannon weighing more than 3,000 kilograms exposed its fatal weakness at this time, unable to move, and even unable to rotate the muzzle in a short time. Although the enemy soldiers on the watchtower discovered the movements of the Ming army in time,

The warned loudly that the enemy gunner who was cooling down and cleaning the cannon was confused and didn't know what to do. The three thousand pounds of heavy cannon required dozens of people to lift it, and more than a dozen horses, plus the power of a cattle to move.

How to avoid shelling in a hurry?

The Ming army moved very quickly and quickly set up a six-pound cannon weighing less than 1,500 kilograms.

The two armies may be attacked at any time in front of the formation. In desperation, Sun Yuanhua pulled off his shirt and went into battle himself, fiddled with the gun rules and scales, and directed the gunner to load the medicine bag.

Sun Yuanhua became anxious and shouted: "Scale six, double-serve medicine bag, hurry up!"

Kaiyuan Bing Aid Artifact is his disciple and dare not neglect it. He stuffed double-packs into the cannon chamber and lifted the long cannon barrel of the six-pound cannon. He was a math who was proficient in geometry and cannon ballistics.

For home, fiddling with a six-rank cannon is really a waste of talent. In an instant, the cannons equipped with double high-efficiency black gunpowder shocked violently. The twelve cannons lined up and fired in sequence, and the hot shells like meteors

With a whistling sound, it hit the other side.

In one round of test shots, Sun Yuanhua shouted: "Slow down two points, hit the two red barbarian cannons on the right, let it go!"

The auxiliary soldiers and gunners hurriedly cleaned the cannons and restored them. Two artillery whistles and twelve cannons aimed at the two red cannons on the right and opened fire one after another. The cannons bounced violently in the back seat, and one cannon was bombarded with fiery iron.

In an instant, the two red cannons on the other side of the river were covered with dense artillery fire. This is the reason why Macheng insisted on using bronze to build cannons, which could unscrupulously load double-fired cannons without worrying about blowing up the chamber.

The six-pound cannon filled with double-packs had a very long range, and it actually caught up with the 18-pound cast iron cannon, which shows its excellent performance.

Shuaiying, Ma Cheng was shocked and said angrily: "Go and get Lord Sun back!"

The personal soldiers on both sides were also startled and muttered, why did Lord Sun go up? Isn't this causing trouble? A team of cavalry in the central army rushed out and tied up Lord Sun who was heading to the front line. This Lord Sun's identity

Although his official position is not high, he is the new mountain commander of Kaiyuan Bingxue. Kaiyuan Bingxue's mountain commander personally went to fight. The cannons roared, and Sun Yuanhua turned over and dismounted in a mess, his face was covered in black and gray, and his hat was crooked.

It's very embarrassed.

Before Ma Cheng could speak, Sun Yuanhua shouted first: "Kaicheng, you can't do this, we have to have a good time."

Ma Cheng was amused and cried, and said mercilessly: "Go down and lock up."

The personal soldiers took Sun Yuanhua away, and Ma Cheng gently wiped his sweat. Fortunately, there was no accident. He accidentally let the king of cannon sneak to the front line. What if there was any mistake?

Kaiyuan military science is now booming and cannot be separated from the king of artillery. This situation should improve in a few years. A teenager who was in his teenage years entered military science, starting from the most basic arithmetic and geometry.

It's time to become a talent in seven or eight years.

The front line cannons were still roaring. Every time the twelve cannons lined up and retreated, they would smash the hot shells at the enemy's artillery array on the other side. With only a few rounds of bombardment, the two red barbarians on the right were completely eliminated.

Destroyed, the Red Cannon that was completely unmovable was a dead target. The gunner of the Kaiyuan was best at firing such a stationary target. Several rounds of volleys were fired. One of the Red Cannons within the range was knocked over and the other was

He was raised high and his muzzle was facing the sky.

Under the sharp artillery fire, the Han army gunners rolled and crawled and fled in all directions.

The Eight Banners Commander Camp, the Central Army.

Huang Taiji used a golden knife to whip a Han general and angrily scolded: "Break it, fire it!"

The Han general was beaten and his face was pale. He endured it hard and did not dare to say anything, nor did he dare to defend himself. It was impossible for the cannon to hit the target, with the red weighing 3,000 pounds.

For Yi Da Cannon, it was God's eyes to be able to get one shot from ten cannons. Often, the random cannons were fired together to achieve results by number. But he didn't dare to argue in front of his master, so he had to grit his teeth and hit the scabbard.

whip.

At this time, only Fan Wencheng dared to speak, and Huang Taiji's trust in Fan Wencheng was increasing.

Fan Wencheng couldn't stand it anymore and tactfully exonerated the Han army and said, "Master, please calm down. It's impossible for the Han army to fail to do its best in this matter. It's really difficult to shoot this cannon accurately."

Huang Taiji became more and more annoyed. He pointed to the Ming army cannon that was pouring out ammunition and said angrily: "Why is the Ming people's cannon being fired very accurately? Fan Wencheng, you dare to deceive the emperor!"

Fan Wencheng was speechless and speechless, and had no way to explain. He was just a juren, so he didn't know why the Ming army's artillery fire was so sharp that he couldn't understand even if he wanted to break his head.
