The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

In the north, the strength of both Yan and Zhao is quietly changing. Mainly due to the arrival of the second batch of weapons from the Qin State.

The list of this batch of weapons included twenty artillery pieces and two hundred muskets. There was already a large amount of ammunition. King Yan looked at the latest arrival of artillery and fired it. He was very excited.

He had not yet experienced the power of muskets and artillery. He only learned about the power of muskets and artillery from his attendants.

"Come here, I want to give this artillery a try."

"Here." The generals agreed.

In order to have better results.

The artillery was set up directly on the city head.

King Yan couldn't wait for a long time. When the cannon was loaded, he hurriedly lit the fuse.

"Bang" the shells flew out.

The distance was about two miles away. Compared with traditional weapons, artillery was still more powerful. But Wang Ben on the side didn't see it that way.

Through this actual battle, Wang Ben realized that artillery would play an important role in future tactics. Moreover, in this defensive battle, the shooting effect of the artillery was not very obvious, but the artillery played a huge role.

At a relatively short range, this two-inch caliber artillery still has certain advantages, but at long range, the advantages of this artillery are not obvious. It is even a flaw.

Wang Ben kept these firmly in his mind, and he was going back to write a report to Mr. Qin. Because these problems were what he urgently needed. What he did now was to observe as much as possible the problems of firearms in actual combat.

In the Qin State, Shang Wen had long been aware of the lack of artillery power. This two-inch artillery was at most a horse-mounted cannon, a weapon provided for cavalry. As the caliber decreased, the power was not reduced.

Bit by bit. Moreover, there are really too few types of cannonballs.

There is no special attack on the nearby infantry. The infantry phalanx has already moved in in large groups.

The most important thing is that currently all artillery is not divided into categories. The bullets of rifles are also relatively single. There is a lot of work to be improved.

First of all, the caliber of the artillery must be greatly increased. From the original two inches to five inches, it will become a standard. In terms of materials, in order to shorten the process, the original copper artillery will be cancelled. Instead, it will be made of a large amount of bronze. As long as it is thickened to prevent explosion

Just use the chamber. As for the reference weapon, it is the Napoleon cannon. The M1857 twelve-pounder gun. The specific data needs to be converted.

Next is the classification of artillery.

Artillery is mostly field artillery. Field artillery is divided into cannons and howitzers. Howitzers are specially used to deal with infantry. Howitzers have short barrels, high elevation angles, slow muzzle velocity, and parabolic trajectories. The effective range is between 400 and 500. They are specially designed to kill infantry.

.

The types of artillery shells also began to differentiate.

Adding explosive shells, shotgun shells and shrapnel shells, the processing technology is very simple, craftsmen should be able to do such things.

Naofumi just needs to write down the specific processing methods.

Explosive bombs are hollow inside and have a charge, which uses the fragments after the explosion to kill the enemy. The internal charge places a fuze at the opening of the projectile, and is tailored according to the distance when launching.

The shotshell has a cylindrical body, wrapped with a thin iron sheet on the outside, and a wooden chamber piece at the bottom. The body is filled with small iron pellets and does not contain gunpowder. The principle is similar to that of a gun, not an artillery piece.

The structure of shrapnel shells is similar to that of explosive shells, and its principle is similar to shotgun shells. This kind of shells is mainly equipped with the British army. It is best fired by cannons.

Naofumi had just finished writing the principle of artillery shells when Ying'er walked in with food.

"Why are you up, sir? You have just recovered from your illness, you should rest more." Eiji said persuadingly.

"The imperial doctor has said that your cold is probably caused by fatigue. Let you rest more. Lie down quickly." Ying'er said.

"Oh, I understand. Naofumi put the pen and notebook away." Naofumi said as he did so.

"By the way. I have one more thing." Naofumi said and found a drawing from the cabinet on the side.

"Can you make boots like this?" Naofumi said and handed over the drawing.

"This is??????" Ying'er said as she took the drawing.

"Paratrooper boots." Naofumi said.

"There are some problems with the soles, which I haven't solved yet. It's the toughness of the shoes. If wooden boards are used, the toughness will be reduced. I hope to use a material that can be tough, but still have a certain degree of sturdiness. Such a material I

I don’t know where to find it yet. Let’s see if you can solve it.” Naofumi said.

"Oh, that's right." Ying'er nodded and said.

"Sir, please eat first, I'll go and think about it." Ying'er walked out with the drawings.

Naofumi had been hungry for a long time. When he saw that the food served was basically vegetarian, Naofumi was very satisfied.

While eating, I scribbled with a pen.

When thinking about paratrooper boots, we should design boots for several different regions, rather than just one kind. For example, deserts, rainforests, and mountains. The future expansion of Qin will require a large amount of such equipment.

There are also infantry equipment, such as musket belts. After Naofumi made the muskets, he did not deliberately make special musket belts. Soldiers' musket belts are of various kinds. Some are even installed in the jacket. Thinking of this, Naofumi thinks it should be

Make a special armed belt or tactical vest. The situation depends on the use of the soldiers.

This cannot be determined by a person's habits. It mainly depends on how well the Qin soldiers accept it.

Thinking of this, Naofumi chewed food and took a pen to roughly draw armed belts and tactical vests. As for some leather bags, these should not be a problem. All leather armors are used now. They should have skilled leather processing skills. Human beings are very familiar with leather armor.

Leather is nothing new.

In the Kingdom of Zhao, King Zhao received a memorial from Li Mu and became furious. The famous general was defeated. It was simply ridiculous.

"Li Mu, Li Mu, what's your name?" King Zhao scolded loudly.

"What can be attributed to Yan's firearms? Those firearms are so powerful." King Zhao cursed loudly.

When the attendants saw King Zhao losing his temper, they did not dare to step forward to dissuade him. They could only wait quietly.

As for the Yan State, after the King of Yan tested the artillery, his self-confidence suddenly expanded to the extreme. He unilaterally believed that mainly with firearms, he could be invincible. Even the Zhao State did not take it seriously.

"I want to counterattack the Zhao army. What do you think?" King Yan asked, looking at the cannon.

"I, Wang Yingming. Taking advantage of Zhao's new defeat, our army should take advantage of the victory to pursue and regain the lost ground." The ministers on the side made suggestions one after another.

"Yeah. Good. Hahaha." King Yan said happily.

Wang Ben on the side looked at it with some disdain. This group of idiots are seeking their own death. How could Li Mu sit back and wait for death like this? If he had pursued after the victory in defending the city, he would have won a complete victory. Now Li Mu is prepared. Waiting for you.

There is only failure.
