Chapter 35 - Genius Artillery Commander
“It feels weird. The target can be seen accurately, but it just can’t be shot. At first I felt that I could grasp the direction of the arrow. But it turned out not to be the case. Then I found a way out based on my feelings.” The crossbowman said truthfully.
As soon as Shang Wen heard it, Dare to install the sight on the crossbow, it was purely a burden.
“So, how do you think it feels to install this scope?” Shang Wen asked quickly.
“That’s the case. However, I think that by installing this thing, you can see more clearly, but the viewing angle is limited. That’s it.” The crossbowman finished with a naive voice.
After hearing this, Shang Wen felt a failure, but he didn’t expect this thing to be like a chicken rib. Installation costs money. Do not install. It’s useless. Alas, it can only be used when making firearms.
“What good thing is there. Shangwen, Shangwen.” Meng Tian saw Shangwen’s expression a little lost. Hastily turned off the topic.
“Oh, there are so many things. There are telescopes. You can use this for scouts and for commanding. I have brought more than three hundred. Basically enough for you.” Shang Wen pointed to it. Several big cars.
Then he went on to say: “I also have a newest type of rocket. According to preliminary measurements, it can hit eight miles away.”
“Bali Yuan.” Meng Tian exclaimed.
“That is, this is my improved model. The main body is made of bamboo. The middle launching part. Use oil paper to ensure accuracy. The warhead is also more accurate. And when shooting, it can basically be considered. To a range of shooting. “Speaking, Shang Wen pointed to the latest rocket. Meng Tian took it up. It feels lighter than before.
“For these rockets. I also made a special moisture-proof treatment. Basically, it can be said. It can be used under any conditions. As for the shelf life. I need time to measure this.” Shang Wen said.
“And this.” Shang Wen held a bazooka. This is a bazooka. Can shoot directly, the distance is within two hundred strides. It can be guaranteed to be a straight line. Two hundred away. I can’t guarantee. The ammunition is contained in this bamboo box. Rest assured, absolutely moisture-proof design. There is a special moisture-proof medicine inside. lime. Packed in fine linen bags. Shang Wen patted a box made of bamboo.
“As for the curved shooting. This target can be doubled. This is a special curved projectile. It is equipped with a special iron frame. But there is also a scale for shooting various yuan, which needs your soldiers to cooperate with me to complete. As for the distance, a conservative estimate. Six hundred Stride, no problem. It is estimated that it can be farther. This is a point kill weapon. You can focus on assembly and training. You can also separate. But for now, I suggest you focus, after all, the firepower. If you disperse, the effect is not very obvious. “
“There are also lighters. This time I made two thousand. A limited number of artillery units provided to you. But I have to get first-hand information. I don’t know. How about your people?” Shangwen waved his hand after speaking. Signed, no more.
Meng Tian listened to Shang Wen introducing a lot of weapon performance. There are also some small weapons and equipment, and some suggestions. Listening to these Meng Tian plans silently in his heart. Suddenly, Shangwen finished. Find someone.
“There are many people. The troops I have trained have many talents. I want to get in even if I squeeze my head.” Meng Tian said proudly.
“Go, bring Huzi and his men and horses to me.” Meng Tian ordered to a messenger.
“Here.” A messenger finished. He ran away on horseback.
“After a while. Rows of carts and horses rushed. These carts are drawn by four horses. Behind is a common Qin army chariot. But on the chariot is a twenty-round rocket launcher. It looks very modern. Shang Wen felt very surprised when he saw such equipment appear.
There were rows of carts and horses behind, but it seemed that they were carrying ammunition. It is estimated that there are more than a thousand such people. Shangwen asked, “How many people does it cost?”
“This is just a demonstration of a thousand-man team. I plan to equip three of such equipment, but I can only install two and a half at the moment. The other one and a half are extremely lacking. This is all going to war right away…” Meng Tian said with some complaints.
“I know what you want to say. It’s not the equipment. I have already put this latest rocket into production. It is estimated that it will be in your hands soon.” Shang Wen waved his hand and said.
Meng Tian chuckled. A little embarrassed.
I saw an officer with the appearance of a school lieutenant fighting forward. dismount. He handed over and said: “The Rockets Thousands of People are here. Please show me the army.”
“Demonstrate it to your husband. Open your eyes. The goal is arbitrary.” Meng Tian waved his hand and said.
The army began to demonstrate.
The carts and horses started to run. Soon the rockets started to be a unit every three. Expanded in the shape of a product. A team of more than a thousand people. Approximately two hundred such rocket launch vehicles are equipped. There are four to five people in a group. The rest became the supply team. See the number of people. This is a strengthened team of thousands.
“How many people are there?” Shang Wen asked.
Meng Tian didn’t finish speaking, and gestured with his fingers. More than 1,500 people. When Shang Wen heard it, he felt that this was not much of a regiment. However, it is subject to the organization of the 1,000-man team. There hasn’t been much dismantling.
quickly. The carriage was unloaded from the horse. Run the horses. Adjustment. Report the number. aim. Adjustment. Raise the flag.
Meng Tian waved his hand.
I saw a group of rocket launch vehicles. “Swish” launched. Then another group of rocket launchers were launched. Then followed by groups of launches.
The next few groups adopted a more jaw-dropping launch method. volley. Twenty groups were launched in the first phase. The sound formed was like the roar of a wave. Roared towards the target.
I saw grass targets and tents neatly arranged on the mountain. Disappeared in the billowing smoke. All the soldiers present witnessed such a terrible scene. After the launch. The audience was quiet.
Shangwen has seen rocket shooting. Its power is also not known how many times the power of the current rocket, but the density has never seen so much. The first few hundred shots were swept past the density one by one. Next, is a one-time fire coverage. Such a scene is estimated to be the only scene of Soviet firepower preparations in World War II. Shang Wen has seen it. And it was launched by a group of people with cold weapons. Shang Wen gasped.
Xi Lao saw everything about the launch. Suddenly shouted: “The Qin army is mighty, the Qin army is mighty.”
The audience shouted in a tumultuous voice: “The Qin Army is mighty, the Qin Army is mighty.” His voice was not weaker than the sound of a rocket launch. Quite shocking. Shangwen felt his blood boil.
After the rocket was launched, Shang Wen looked at the commander named Huzi.
This commander is just a commander of a thousand-man team. He used to be a crossbowman, because his shooting was extremely accurate. Three hundred strides away. Shoot down the enemy’s banner. Because of its prominence, it was transferred to the shooting. Later formed cavalry. Put it directly over.
Shang Wen looked at the mighty and majestic man in front of him. A uniform. Thick beard. Plate hat. This is a symbol of an officer.
“Why can your troops shoot and how accurate?” Shang Wen asked.
“Back to your lord. Please follow the end and look here.” Hu Zi made a request. He pointed to the rocket launcher. Shang Wen walked over. The rest followed. When only a few steps away from the rocket launcher. Shang Wen discovered this secret.
There are gears under the rocket launcher. Several large and small wheels. You can easily rotate the position of the rocket launcher. There is even a scale on the lower position, and its scale is already somewhat similar to the current shooting scale. What is particularly surprising is that this guy also installed a longitudinal scale. height. angle. Everything is there. It seems simple. But this guy integrated mathematical concepts into ballistics for the first time.
Shang Wen looked at the somewhat crude launch sight in front of him, unbelievably. unbelievable. unbelievable. This guy is a genius. Genius. Shang Wen said to himself with joy.
