You may not see anything when shooting at close range, but the shooting accuracy of shells will be greatly reduced by various factors as soon as the shooting distance is far away.
Take the red cannon equipped by the loyalist as an example. Because the shells are round, the shells will be greatly influenced by the outside world. When the red cannon is aimed at the target two miles away, it is very normal for even experienced gunners to shoot the shells with a distance of dozens of steps.
This leads to the fact that the red cannon has an effective range of more than two miles, but the government troops equipped with it never shoot at targets two miles away. The most common thing is to shoot at targets around one mile.
But that shell placed in front of you are quite different.
Let’s take the bullet part as an example. It’s not a common round shape, but a common pointed cone shape in later generations, but it’s different from the bullet in later generations. After the bullet flew out of the barrel, the stability equipment department actually made a tail like a mortar bullet at the end of the bullet …
Of course, if the tail part of the oil-paper bag has been measured before, the whole shell is almost the same as the later shells except that it is rough.
White to white in front of this cannon all kinds of data but there is a front head know.
Then face a pair of suddenly enlighted expression WeiZheng directly ask.
"You said these handsome all white … handsome to know all aspects of this cannon specific data …"
"It’s a guard …"
"After the specific test by the Equipment Department, this cannon has an effective range of 300 to 1,500 steps, and can fire solid shells and flowering shells respectively."
"When launching a flowering bomb, the 500-step hit rate can reach 90% due to the decoration of the tail wing of the flowering bomb …"
"When shooting at the target from 500 to 1000 steps, the hit rate of the flowering bomb can reach 70%. Of course, even if it doesn’t hit the target, the error will not exceed 15 steps … The flowering bomb is as high as two kilograms, and the distance of 15 steps is still in the killing range."
"However, after the target is 1000 steps, the hit rate of the artillery is less than 50%, and the error has reached an astonishing 30 steps. However, in order to solve this problem, we have studied a play that has never been played before. If this play is fired at the target beyond 1000 steps, the impact of artillery firing accuracy on power can be weakened to some extent."
From the bottom of my heart, I am still very satisfied that the world can have such a powerful artillery weapon.
But in front of the colonel, he received a sentence that satisfied Weizheng’s face, and the smiling horse was covered with interest.
After a short meditation, Wei Zheng seemed to think of something. He asked thoughtfully, "Is the way you say that multiple artillery pieces shoot at a target at the same time, which is called artillery coverage …"
Didn’t surprise Weizheng that he had just finished speaking before the colonel’s face and showed a stunned and shocked expression.
Then he asked Wei Zheng with an incredible face, "How did you know … our heavy artillery division trained and summarized for two months before coming to this conclusion …"
Wei Zheng replied with a smile, "Shuai not only knows the artillery coverage, but also knows a lot that you don’t know how to play …"
Speaking of which, Wei Zheng’s face has been unconsciously restored to seriousness, pointing to a few miles away with an outline of the county seat and a face of seriousness asked
"Is it possible to set up a cannon three miles away from the city wall and hit dozens of rounds of artillery coverage on the county wall loyalist, so that these imperial loyalists can get to know the powerful military strength of our tiger and leopard army bit by bit from your heavy artillery division?"
In front of the colonel, he promised, "Please rest assured that the heavy artillery regiment will be completed …"
The county town is about to be attacked, blocking the March of the northern army. For a long time, thousands of people in the city were driven by the youth and the civilian workers and the army, and the logs and sacks filled with soil were raised and strengthened little by little.
Xu Guohou, the supreme commander of thousands of loyalists, is wearing a fine armor, and a number of departments will surround the gate tower and hold meetings against the city wall, pointing fingers at busy civilian workers.
In the side of the Ministry, except for a few who have always remained serious and kept silent about what the company commanders said, a few people, with one exception, all agreed with Xu Guohou with a flattering face.
At this moment, a general manager suddenly rushed over to destroy the harmonious atmosphere of the tower directly.
Then don’t seem to see Xu Guohou blink across to face big report way
"Adult stationed outside the rebels began to move. They seem to set up artillery at three miles outside the city …"
"Three miles outside the city, you are not mistaken …" Xu Guohou, who was just about to get angry after hearing the general report, immediately put on an interested smile and asked the general manager.
"It’s the company commander’s adult … Xiao has sent scouts out of the city to investigate. The rebels have set up artillery at three miles outside the city … After statistics, the number of artillery is about 50 and they are all big guns in red."
After hearing the result that the rebels had fifty cannons in red, Xu Guohou’s face suddenly turned pale.
On the contrary, Xu Guohou’s high-spirited face not only did not show the slightest intention, but also showed a mocking smile at the tiger and leopard army outside the city.
Xu Guohou, who was born in a noble family, climbed to the position of company commander step by step with the help of his ancestors. He really looked down on Wei Zheng, a bandit.
Since he despises Wei Zheng, the commander-in-chief of Wei Zheng, Tiger and Leopard Army, he despises it even more.
Although the Tiger and Leopard Army shocked the whole dynasty in foreign countries and battles for many times, it was also the first strong army of ordinary people. However, in the eyes of Gao Guohou, all the honors were that he was too lucky to defend his army, and the Tiger and Leopard Army was too well equipped and too weak to meet the enemy.
In this case, Xu Guohou, who prides himself on being tall and is a military commander’s family background, has always fantasized that the commander-in-chief is equipped with the same excellent firearms, and the battlefield will teach a tiger leopard army a lesson to let it know who is the strongest army in the world …
Therefore, there is almost no combat experience in the interception of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and Xu Guohou is the first to go to court and engage in battle with the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Of course, after reading a lot of soldiers, Xu Guohou also knows that underestimating your enemy will fail.
Xu Guohou, the company commander who entered the county seat, called a large number of civilian workers and Qing Zhuang to strengthen the Yugoslav capital of the county seat and then dealt a heavy blow to the tiger and leopard army outside the city in the battle.
At this moment, Xu Guohou sneered, not because Xu Guohou was arrogant enough to ignore dozens of heavy artillery of the Tiger and Leopard Army, but because he had just made a general report to a certain extent, which further proved his judgment on the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
In Xu Guohou’s eyes, the most well-equipped red artillery of the imperial court didn’t fire at the target three miles away. Does the Tiger and Leopard Army think that their artillery is worse than the most well-equipped red artillery of the imperial court …
Chapter four hundred and seventeen Artillery coverage
You know, building artillery is not building muskets.
One out of ten craftsmen in the Great Dynasty may be able to build muskets, but guns are not. Almost none of the 100 blacksmiths can build guns.
In this case, Wei Zheng may be lucky enough to build a better musket than the imperial court, but to build a better and more powerful cannon is not something that can be done by luck, but requires long-term experience and technical accumulation …
Otherwise, there would be no craftsmen directly under the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to build artillery in such a big dynasty.
In Xu Guohou’s eyes, since the Tiger and Leopard Army can’t be more powerful than the imperial red artillery, but they set up artillery three miles away, it proves that the fighting capacity of the Tiger and Leopard Army is not as strong as everyone says, and their artillery battlefield is very timid, otherwise they wouldn’t have arranged the artillery positions so far away.
Seeing that the Ministry will reveal a puzzled expression because of his mocking smile, Xu Guohou is in a good mood because his judgment on the Tiger and Leopard Army has been confirmed, and he directly opens his mouth to express his thoughts and analysis.
After listening, a department directly asked, "The company commanders’ adult, do you mean that the rebel artillery units outside the city seem to be powerful, but because they arrange the artillery positions too far away, they can’t threaten us …"
Get company commanders Xu Guohou affirmation will face nervous and worried expression finally have the signs of dissipation …
Seeing this, Xu Guohou said easily, "Since the rebels are setting up artillery and can’t hit us, let’s keep the city wall and take a look at the jokes of the rebels outside the city …"
