The Jurchen leaders of the East China Sea saw musket shooting for the first time, and they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear.
The place they live in is no different from what it was thousands of years ago, with basically no much development. How people lived hundreds of generations ago is how they still live today.
Fishing in the river, hunting in the mountains, digging a hole in the ground to survive the winter.
Because they don't know how to herd cattle and lack horns and tendons, they can't make high-end bows and arrows. There's not even bamboo here, and the basic materials for high-end bows and arrows are not produced here.
But God will not starve to death (read Jia Qiao). There is no animal husbandry, no cattle. But the Northeast has the material of the English longbow, yew. The yew is called Northeastern yew in the Northeast. It is mainly distributed in
A small amount is distributed in the Gaoguanbaishan District of Jilin and eastern Liaoning; in the southeastern Zhangguangcai Mountains and Laoyeling Mountains in Heilongjiang Province, and to the south of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains (Suiling) in the north.
To the west of Shuangchengzi are Changbai Mountain and Laoye Ridge. Therefore, although their hunting bows are single-piece bows and are short for easy use in the forest, the excellent power storage function of the purple shirt makes the performance of the bow and arrow acceptable.
At this time, Maozi's Far East pioneering team had not yet arrived here. They would not reach the Buryat-Mongolia area until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, which was still far away. The firearms of Jiannu were mainly used to defend against the Ming Dynasty, so naturally they would not use them.
Come here to show off.
This was the first time they had seen firearms discharged.
Three sections of shooting, continuous firepower, deafening sound, and rising fire and smoke scared them. They could not understand the power of smoke and fire.
Seeing that these leaders had been suppressed, Yang Fan waved his hand and asked the field artillery battalion stationed in Shuangcheng to pull out eighteen twelve-pound cannons and conduct artillery training on the spot.
Chief Hezhe Rihara is the leader of the Hezhen people from the Ussuri River. Their tribe makes a living by fishing in the Ussuli River. The Ussuri River is a tributary of the Heilongjiang River and is located in the eastern part of the Heilongjiang River Basin.
It was called "Anju Gushui" in the Tang Dynasty, "Alimen River" in the Jin Dynasty, "Hulugu River" in the Yuan Dynasty, "Asu River" and "Suri River" in the Ming Dynasty, and was called "Wusuli River" in the Qing Dynasty.
There are abundant large freshwater fish and migratory fish. There are many kinds of salmon, pike, salmon and sturgeon. The skin of these fish is thick and can be made into clothes. They are a people who wear fish skin clothes.
The Ewenki people in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and Jiangbei wear clothes made of deerskin.
Hezhe Rihara stared and said: "The Ming Dynasty's muskets are too terrifying. My warriors were killed fifty steps away before they could even charge forward. Our bows and arrows couldn't reach them."
Chief Tataharaqi, who made Lu Ewenki, also echoed: "Yes, our bows and arrows and muskets cannot hurt the Ming army. Their muskets have a too far range."
These smoothbore flintlock rifles have reached the highest technical level of smoothbore rifles. They are more advanced than the smoothbore rifles of the French Napoleonic era in history.
The total length of this kind of flintlock gun (excluding bayonet) is about 1.5 meters. The barrel made of seamless steel tube is about 1.1 meters long and has a caliber of 16 mm. The bayonet length is usually slightly more than 0.4 meters. When the bayonet is used, the length is close to two meters. Complete
Can be used as a spear.
Except that it has no rifling, all available technologies are used. The barrel is made of steel and drilled with a boring machine. The accuracy is very high, and the service life is more than 30,000 rounds, far exceeding the 12,000-round service life of the French flintlock gun in the Napoleonic era.
There is an important indicator of whether a gun is accurate or not. That is the location of the bullet when it flies out of the gun chamber.
No matter how high the accuracy is, the barrel and the bullet still have play. If you zoom in on the barrel and the bullet, you will find that both have jagged outer surfaces, rather than being absolutely flat.
The bullet actually moves forward in a jumping manner in the barrel, that is, in the internal ballistic trajectory. If the centers of the cross-sections of the barrel are connected in a straight line, then the bullet will fluctuate up and down along this line.
of sinusoidal motion.
If the bullet is exactly on this center line when it flies out of the barrel, it is the most accurate position. The gun will shoot very accurately, because the bullet does not pitch up and down when it leaves the barrel, but goes straight outward.
The reason why the flying Mosin-Nagant rifle is super accurate is because the moment its bullet comes out of the chamber, it is on the center line of the barrel.
If each barrel can achieve this performance, a gun of the highest quality in design performance can be produced. Yang Fan's flintlock gun can meet this standard. Although it is not as good as a rifled gun, it is among the smoothbore flintlock guns.
has reached its peak.
The lethality of muskets far exceeds that of crossbows and other projectile weapons. As long as it hits, it can directly cause the opponent to withdraw from the battle, and it can effectively penetrate all kinds of armor. A hit will almost guarantee death.
The Brown Bess flintlock gun can hit a human-shaped target at 137 meters, while Yang Fan's flintlock gun can hit a human-shaped target at 170 meters. Because he uses cylindrical bullets. The tail of the bullet is concave soft lead with built-in steel balls.
.When firing, under the pressure of gunpowder gas, the tail of the bullet expands and seals the barrel to prevent air leakage. The range is relatively long.
In this exercise, the chest target was a hundred meters away. With the level of training of the Jiao Ding Regiment, almost every shot hit the mark. This directly made these savages see the gap. Their bows and arrows no longer had much lethality at this distance.
However, as the eighteen field guns were pushed into the shooting range, they found that there were many things that shocked them.
Boom boom boom! The eighteen cannons, activated by pulling the match rope, made a huge noise. The ground was shaking and you could feel it even standing on the city wall. Your ears were buzzing.
These leaders looked at each other with shame, and everyone was shocked and inexplicable.
There were hundreds of sheep standing three hundred meters away. Eighteen spherical bullets flew by, causing a bloody storm. The shells directly cut out eighteen fleshy alleys. After being plowed by the shells, the scene was horrific. After being hit,
The sheep were beaten to pieces. Broken meat and bones were sprayed everywhere. The snow was dyed red.
"This, this, what kind of weapon is it? This is too scary." Head Enrique said tremblingly. He could imagine that his log stockade would be nothing compared to such a terrifying firearm.
It was blasted into a pile of broken wood in minutes.
But what frightens them even more is what lies behind.
The engineer platoon launched a gas-tank mortar sent from the Horn of Africa. This was the same Syrian model imitated by Ali. This large-caliber home-made mortar uses chemical fertilizer and sugar as propellant and explosives, and is lightweight.
And awesome.
This thing can be said to be very powerful. It is the trump card of the Shuangchengzi garrison. There are only three in total, plus two thousand rounds of artillery shells.
The gas tank cannon is a heavy mortar modified by the Syrians using gas tanks. It has a huge caliber, and a person can even sit on the muzzle. The explosive power of a 10-liter household gas tank is equivalent to 150 kilograms of TNT explosives. It is also equivalent to 3,000 pellets.
A grenade and three rounds can easily blow up a complete residential building.
With bursts of muffled sounds and violent tremors on the ground, three gas tank shells flew towards the target with tail fins. There were circles drawn with black coal powder on the distant mountain slopes. There were cross lines inside the circles.
This distance was a full two kilometers away. Three shells accurately fell into the circle.
Although the circle was very large, with a diameter of one hundred meters, the huge explosion raised a mushroom cloud and the fireball completely covered the circle.
"This is our most powerful weapon, with a range of fifty meters to two thousand meters. That is about fifteen to six hundred steps as you said. All cities are a joke with this kind of weapon." Yang Fan looked frightened.
More than a hundred heads of people who had lost their souls said calmly.
