933, Shooting between cavalry bow and steel crossbow
Xiaoqi has a three-eyed gun in his hand, and behind him, there are two steel crossbowmen. They will fire when they see the opportunity.
At the same time, their main combat targets are the Mongolian archers who climbed onto the roofs and high places. Although the Mongols declined, their combat experience is still there because they have been fighting.
Fight against Ming Dynasty, fight against Jiannu, they fight on their own.
When the spears overwhelmingly crushed their infantry, many archers spontaneously began to climb onto the house. They shot down on the spearmen who had lost the protection of their shields.
At this time, the three-eyed gun in Xiaoqi's hand and the two steel crossbowmen behind him were activated.
These three-eyed blunderbuss were picked out from the warehouse of the Ministry of War. Yang Fan directly loaded up the gunpowder for a test firing. He would only accept the gunpowder that doubled the dose without exploding the barrel.
The popularity of the Ministry of War is crazy. I have never seen such a difficult-to-serve master. He doesn't give favors and show filial piety. He also picks the fat and the thin. After Yang Fan finished choosing the three-eyed blunderbuss, he left chicken feathers all over the ground. They were all scraps with blown barrels.
At this time, Yang Fan's selfless repayment was reflected. From the beginning of the war to now, not a single three-eye blunderbuss had exploded. They were all used normally. Similarly, because Yang Fan directly took away the raw materials of Wang Gong's gunpowder factory,
Configured by yourself.
With a good gun and good ammunition, the three-eyed musket had an advantage when shooting against the Mongolian archers on the roof. At close range, the accuracy was useless when shooting from the front and back of the house, from the roof to the street. Because of this
Distance, as long as you are not blind, you can hit it.
In close-range firefights, the decisive factor is the rate of fire. For cold weapons versus hot weapons, the decisive factor is the speed of contact with the enemy. That is, you can quickly rush in and engage in hand-to-hand combat regardless of casualties.
Use bows and arrows at a distance of more than ten meters, or even seven or eight meters, and shoot against the three-eyed gun. You can only be blasted into pieces by the opponent's three consecutive rounds. Although the three-eyed gun is slow to load, the archer can fire it in one minute.
Ten times. Even sixteen or seventeen times. The three-eyed gun can only fire three rounds once because it takes time and effort to load the ammunition.
However, the three-eyed gun was bent. He immediately retreated. The two steel crossbowmen behind him immediately stepped forward to shoot. The key is that these three men were all wearing plate armor. The spearmen also wore plate armor. Only the shield soldiers were limited by weight.
, without armor, relying on waving a shield for protection.
The archers on the roof, because of the angle, can't see the areas below the knees and calves that cannot be protected by plate armor. Plate armor can block bows and arrows. Although this is the worst and cheapest one produced by Yang Fan
Plate armor. Because the emperor insisted on buying the cheapest one.
The archers were almost unbearable. These strange-style Ming soldiers wearing plate armor and pig-head helmets were almost completely immune to their bows and arrows. In fact, even without a shield in front, they were not easy to deal with.
The archers' eyes turned red when they saw the pikemen almost slaughtering the Mongols. Their eyes were red. They shot arrows away until they lost all thirty arrows in their quivers.
After shooting, no decent results were achieved.
The steel crossbow here gave them a devastating blow.
Yang Fan struggled with this batch of steel crossbows for a long time before deciding to take them out. Because these steel crossbows have reached the limit of cold weapons.
In addition to the frame of these steel crossbows being forged from high-quality steel, the receiver is made of aluminum alloy. This is to reduce weight. Although the crossbow arm is not long, it is made of modern spring steel. It is also processed from scrapped truck spring steel plates.
Made of.
The reason why the crossbow arm is short laterally is because of its good performance and sufficient flexibility. In addition, it also takes into account the convenience of riding on horseback and the use of small spaces in street fighting.
Yang Fan can say that he has never put so much thought into a cold weapon. It is all about technology and hard work. The receiver has many parts and is complex in design. The interior uses a labor-saving pulley like that of a modern pulley bow as a winding aid.
There is a charging handle on the side of the receiver. It is a bit like the rotating bolt action of a rifle. When using it, put the butt of the crossbow against your shoulder to increase shooting stability. Hold the middle grip of the crossbow with one hand, and pull it with your right hand.
Handle, cock the crossbow.
The charging handle can be pulled to the end very easily, and then rotated and stuck. At this time, the shooter pulls out the crossbow arrow from the quiver on the back waist, puts it in the groove on the receiver, then aims and pulls the trigger, and the crossbow arrow will
Ejected violently.
As the crossbow arrow is fired, the charging handle will also rotate and then bounce back. The shooter needs to pull it in place again, then place the crossbow arrow, and then shoot. The cycle repeats.
Because the pulley set hidden in the receiver acts as a booster, the archer can quickly pull it to the end. Even if he pulls it a hundred times in a row, his arms will not miss the mark like an archer does after shooting the thirty arrows in the quiver.
, I can’t lift my arms anymore.
The firing speed of this kind of crossbow is faster than that of a bow and arrow, because it takes a lot of effort to pull the bow, and the further you pull it back, the harder it is. You also have to use a lot of force to maintain the position of the bow string, and then aim. The bow and arrow cannot be held for a long time without firing. The arm cannot bear it.
That is to say, once the bow is fully drawn, the arrow must be released as soon as possible.
Don't aim for too long, otherwise your arms will shake, affecting accuracy.
This kind of steel crossbow can be easily pulled to the end and then get stuck. At this time, you can aim calmly, wait for the best time, and pull the trigger.
Crossbow arrows are not stabilized by tail fins, and their long-range accuracy is not as good as that of bows and arrows. However, crossbow arrows are short, have low resistance, and have high muzzle velocity. The medium-range armor-breaking effect is amazing.
The plate armor of the Crusaders was penetrated one after another by the Arabs using the crossbows passed from China. This steel crossbow could penetrate the triple armor of Jiannu at medium and close ranges.
Yang Fan didn't want to give the emperor this kind of weapon. However, considering the risks of this expedition, and he had to eliminate cold weapons, after repeated weighing, he equipped each regiment of the Beijing camp with 600 of them. This kind of crossbow machine was used by Yang Fan every time.
After collecting ten taels of gold, I felt a little better.
Within seventy meters, no bow and arrow can hit the target. It is the opponent of this kind of crossbow machine.
Soon, on the battlefield in the city, with the crushing advance of the spearmen in front, corpses were everywhere. The Mongolian archers on the roof were also shot down by steel crossbows like leaves.
The soldiers suddenly realized that there were no enemies in front of them. They were holding long spears. Blood drops slipped from the tip of the spear. The red tassel was soaked with blood, and a blood line flowed downwards from where it appeared.
Fortunately, these red tassels can block the blood sprayed by the enemy. Otherwise, the blood will stay along the gun barrel. By then, the white wax barrel of the gun will become very slippery, making it impossible to hold it, let alone fight. qqxsnew
Nineteen teams gathered from all sides and surrounded a courtyard in the center of the city. There was a plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard with a message in both Mongolian and Chinese. It said "City Lord's Mansion"
