Otherworldly Castle Era

　　 The development of the heavy cavalry seems to be decided according to the situation in the future. Develop as needed and form more heavy cavalry. Eliminate it if you don't need it!

　　 If the heavy cavalry needs to be verified later, then there is no need to say about the next arms, it must be developed, and more must be formed. That is artillery!

"Lord, there are two types of artillery, one is a large ultra-long range cannon used for siege of cities; the other is a light field artillery used for battles between the two armies." Lu Su looked around the schoolyard and said: "Lord , The artillery demonstration is not possible here, please move out of the city!"

　　 "Okay, let's go, go to the wasteland outside the city and try it!" Yang Song thought it was right, how to shoot in the city. The movement of the artillery is indispensable, even if it is outside the city, it must disturb the people.

　　 But the assembly in the school field is not without value, at least I know the transfer process of the artillery.

　　 led the horses in the stables, the large siege artillery team was divided into two groups, and the two siege cannons were fitted with four horses. The field artillery squad was divided into three groups, and each of the three artillery of the entire squad was fitted with two horses.

　　 Regardless of whether the siege cannon or the field artillery is a two-wheeled gun carriage. There is a long support behind the gun mount. This support is used to counteract the force when the gun is fired when the gun is arranged, and is used as a traction component when maneuvering. The difference between the two types of artillery is the size of the gun mount!

　　 After setting up the artillery, he began to put horses on the carriage on the side. Each team had a large carriage with four horses, two axles and four wheels. It is used to carry ammunition!

　　 Yang Song thought carefully. A siege artillery team has two artillery and twelve horses, while a field artillery team has three artillery and ten horses. The entire conventional infantry brigade has a total of 81 field artillery and 36 siege artillery, and there are a total of 486 horses. That's not counting other types of horses in other arms! How many horses should there be together!

　　 He was frightened after the calculation, and I don’t know if he can afford it in his current territory! Horses consume far more food than humans. Fortunately, it is a territory that has been developed over the past few years. Fortunately, he has a precautionary idea and is more cautious about storing food in advance. So now there is still room to support this newly arrived army of 3,500 people. If it had just arrived in this world, needless to say, it would definitely be bankrupt!

"Huh? The 3,500-man army has more than 100 artillery pieces. Is this ratio a bit high?" Yang Song suddenly reacted now. The so-called conventional infantry brigade has a lot of artillery pieces. This question was asked to Lu Su.

"Lord, there is no problem with the configuration of the army!" Lu Su replied: "In fact, the configuration of the army is based on the principle of "being far and not close"! Artillery is the weapon that is the farthest and earliest attack on the enemy! Under the bombardment of multiple artillery, the enemy’s The morale of the army will almost collapse and disintegrate prematurely, even if it has been bombarded by artillery, there are still a few heavy blows waiting for the enemy!"

　　 Yang Song thought for a while, if he is the enemy of this army, if he wants to defeat them, he must fight with morale collapse and heavy losses. And even if they rushed to the front of this army before the loss, they would go home in front of the spears pierced from the shield wall of those heavy shields! He shook his body, really a terrible army!

　　 Of course, he also knows that war is not limited to the army! War is a competition of national strength and a competition of wisdom! An accident can wipe out this invincible army! Whether it is a trap or a fire attack, there are too many ways to make it disappear!

　　 Therefore, he would not think that with this army, he would fight all over the world invincible! And when he doesn't know how far the world's technology is, he will not be arrogant and complacent!

　　 In the time when Yang Song and Lu Su were chatting and thinking about him, the two artillery teams were ready to transfer, and the speed was still very fast!

　　 "Go outside the east city!" Di Qing ordered. The direction was pointed out by Yang Song.

　　 In fact, the entire area around Apocalypse City has been almost developed, and there is no wasteland. The only way to go to the enemy is farther away.

　　 The marching speed of the two artillery teams was neither fast nor slow, but they also walked much faster than ordinary soldiers, and the soldiers of the artillery team rode on carriages or gun carriages.

　　 walked for a long time before arriving at the selected wasteland. Not only the artillery squad, but also the guards, although they are in the territory, they still need some defenses!

　　 The three cannons of the field artillery team were erected first, and then two cannons of the siege team were also erected not long after. The five artillery pieces are lined up a few meters apart!

　　Because of the vast wilderness, there is no small team to prepare, all of them are directly prepared, just waiting for the demonstration to start.

　　I still came in a small team during the demonstration. The first is the three field artillery team.

"Lord, the field artillery weighs 600 kilograms, has a caliber of 90 millimeters (mm), and has a range of up to 1,200 meters. It is equipped with open and solid rounds, and can be loaded with shotguns at short distances!" Lu Su rode on the horse and said. Yang Song, who was also riding a horse, explained.

　　All of them who came to watch them all stopped on the small **** on horseback, looking at the artillery lined up under the **** from top to bottom.

　　 "The artillery is made of steel, not heavy bronze, so the weight of the artillery is relatively light."

　　 "Oh, isn't it, Zijing, will this steel-cast artillery crack?" Yang Song asked. He remembered that the reason why bronze was used to cast artillery was because of its good toughness.

　　 "The lord does not have to worry, it is pig iron that will crack, and these artillery are made of stainless steel and will not crack!" Lu Su replied.

　　 Yang Song was surprised when he learned that these guns were all made of stainless steel. How many catties of stainless steel did it cost! Each of them costs hundreds of kilograms, at least the current output of the territory's fine steel is not much, it is not enough, there is no way to cast new artillery!

　　 "The field artillery team is ready!"

　　 "Loading the bomb, the target, the rock on the **** a thousand meters away!"

The 　　 command is more general to the target setting, that is because the shooting accuracy of the black powder gun is very bad! There is no rifling, no aerodynamic shape shells, and a rough range is almost the same.

　　 "Fire!"

　　 boom boom boom~

　　 With the order to fire the cannon, three roars of artillery sounded one after another, and the shells that were completely invisible to the naked eye shot out, and only a red and black phantom was visible in the distance.

　　 Not long after, about a second or two later, a flash of light burst on the opposite side, and after a few more seconds, the sound of the bomb explosion came over!

　　 When the gunpowder dissipated, there were obviously several craters near the rock pile on the opposite side of the hill.

　　 "The power is good, but it doesn't seem to be as powerful as the navy's artillery!" Yang Song had seen naval artillery fire tests before, but the battle at that time was much stronger than the current artillery fire.

　　 "Lord, the smallest naval guns of naval warships are larger than these field artillery, and it should be more powerful!" Lu Su explained.

"It turns out that the larger siege artillery is larger than the artillery on the three warships. Is it much more powerful?" Yang Song continued to ask, listening to the introduction, the navy's fifth-class naval gun has only one caliber. 100 millimeters, while the caliber of the siege artillery is 120 millimeters.

　　 "Not necessarily, it depends on the level of the naval guns. Lord, when I first came here, I didn't know the situation of the navy battleships in the territory. I can't compare them. I hope to forgive me!" Lu Su replied, seeking truth from facts.

　　 "Oh, look at me, it's okay!" Yang Song only then realized that these talents in front of him had just come to the territory, not knowing it was normal. Then he slapped his head and replied: "The navy's three first battleships are of the frigate level, and the naval guns are five-level ship-borne artillery, with a caliber of 100 millimeters!"

　　 "Thank you lord! According to the lord, the navy’s frigate’s artillery is only 100mm, so the army’s siege artillery belongs to the four-tier ship-borne artillery, and it must be more powerful than the navy’s!" Lu Su continued.

　　 "After the siege artillery rehearsal, the lord will know! The field artillery is a little close in naval battles. If the classification is imposed, the field artillery belongs to the sixth level!"

　　 "Load solid bullets! The target remains the same!"

　　 Continue to give orders, the drill continues!

　　 "Fire!"

　　 There were three more roars, the same as indistinct, but this time there was no explosion, only a cloud of dust was seen on the small **** in the distance!

　　 This attack was much smaller. Yang Song estimated that it was also the power to highlight the power of field artillery. UU reading www.uukanshu.com only filled the explosive bomb in the first shooting fashion!

　　 After each shot, it takes a short period of time to clean the barrel, and there are still a lot of black powder left!

　　 "Load the shotgun! Target, a hundred meters of weeds ahead!"

　　 "Fire!" After preparing for the report, Di Qing ordered the fire!

　　 boom boom boom~

　　 I saw that a large area of ​​weeds in front of each artillery was emptied instantly! The whole shape of the cleared space is fan-shaped, and the farther away the larger the range! A faint white gas erupted from the entire cleared space, whether it was gunpowder smoke, heat, or both!

　　 It seems that artillery can be used not only for long-range attacks, but also not weak for close combat, but the rate of fire is too low, I guess it is not forced to use this trick!

　　 "Lord, the last shot is like the short knife of a heavy shield soldier. It is the last choice. If it is not necessary, artillery will not choose melee!" As expected, Lu Su's explanation also met his psychological expectations. "The practicality of the open bomb and the solid bomb also depends on the battle situation. The solid bomb will bounce after hitting the target, and one shell can attack all the way, while the bloom bomb will explode and attack the surrounding area!"

　　 "Well, I understand! Let's watch the performance of the Siege Artillery Squad!" Yang Song nodded and replied.

　　 The preparations for the Siege Artillery Squad had already been done, and it was also the first thing to do.

　　 "The Siege Artillery Squad is ready!"

　　 "Fill the flower bomb, the target, the woods on the upper **** 1,500 meters away!"

　　 The loading speed of the siege artillery is obviously slower than that of the field artillery. If the field artillery fires five or six rounds per minute, then the siege artillery only has three or four rounds per minute! It's nearly doubled! Yang Song also knows that the larger the artillery, the heavier the shell and the longer the barrel, the more inconvenient it will be to load! So he didn't say anything!

　　 "Fire!"
