Chapter 2419: Heavy hammering!
The emperor's hammer!
Its shooting speed is very fast, because it is a breech gun!
Don’t think that the breech gun is an advanced artillery than the front gun. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. From the 15th to the 16th century, almost all European field artillery was breech-loaded, and the wedge tail assembly was used to seal it. The barrel, or the use of sub-munition launching tubes, which is the Flange machine gun familiar to the Chinese (go and find out for yourself).
However, the tolerance of the gap between the sub-cannon and the belly of Fran's machine gun is large, and the problem of the leakage of gunpowder gas is difficult to solve. Therefore, the European artillery completely closed the stern and cast it as a whole, and the front-mounted smoothbore gun became popular.
The artillery of the South China Empire came from European artillery. Yan Changwu was a man who had seen the world before. He had nothing to do when he had enough to eat and he had nothing to do with the breech artillery. Some were money and could be consumed.
There are also ideas. After all, Yan Changwu has never fired a gun before wearing it, and he has also seen others fire a gun, which points out the direction for the development of the breech gun.
The Chinese are very smart. The key is to have the resources to support the development of the breech gun. Therefore, the Chinese have built a screw breech block, rifled breech and tapered ammunition/silk ammunition on the cannon!
The breech block device is an indispensable part of the breech loading artillery. It is a mechanical device that locks the gun chamber. It can withstand the backward thrust of the propellant gas pressure when the artillery fires, seal the gunpowder gas and contain the firing mechanism, screw type The breech bolt uses the thread on the bolt body to engage with the corresponding thread on the inner bore surface of the breech to lock the artillery. It is very tight and will not leak gunpowder gas.
Due to the lack of metal smelting technology, the screw breech block of Nanhua's breech gun is very large, so only the large gun can use the screw breech block, and the small gun is not yet available.
The rifled rifled shells can rotate, which can effectively ensure the stability of the projectiles. The cone-shaped shells have lower resistance than the round-headed shells. This can increase the range, that is, increase the striking power.
As for silk, hey, ordinary countries really can't afford cannon!
The silk drug bag is a whole charge, which can provide the convenience and speed of the charge. The silk can be completely burned without residue and will not block the barrel.
Depending on the distance of the shooting range, up to three cartridges can be put in. The more the cartridges, the farther the cannonball can hit. It is fast and flexible, and there are many benefits.
As for ignition, the Chinese adopted the method of fire door needle, that is, insert a hollow needle into the fire door on the back of the cannon. There is a fuse inside the needle. The needle is inserted into the cartridge in the barrel and the fuse is ignited. The igniter pack is out.
The flintlock ignition is currently being tackled, but the Chinese can’t wait to use the breech artillery technology on the H210N1663 cannon. Gein has a large caliber, and it would be too time-consuming to use the front-mounted method!
The 210 cannons were used intensively, and ten cannons were opened in the southeast row, pouring cannonballs toward the city wall in an overwhelming manner!
The cannons were so powerful and mighty that they slammed the walls hard. Those solid walls made of granite and cement were cracked and spread like spider webs. In some places, they were even broken, and the fragments fell in position.
If you hit the ancillary facilities on the city wall, you would shave your head and swept them all away. Some arrow towers were eaten by cannonballs and collapsed instantly. The power of the cannonballs was extraordinary, which shocked the white-skinned people!
They spared no expense to build the Bratislava Castle, thinking that the castle was as indestructible as a copper wall and an iron wall. They also used a front gun to test fire, and found that the city wall was indeed unshakable by a front gun, so they were full of confidence in the city defense.
Never expected that the heavy artillery of the South China Army was so powerful. Someone presented an unbroken shell that he found in the city to the main general, Marquis Gustav Klimt. He took a look at the shape of the shell and then touched it. He only felt tired when he used the material of the shells.
Damn Oriental, why is it so uncomfortable!
The rifled gun can hit far, because of its pointed bullet, which has less resistance than the round bullet of the musket.
Similarly, the South China Army’s new artillery shells are cone-shaped, and they are naturally farther than round shells. In other words, they have greater kinetic energy within the same distance.
Generally, round artillery shells are made of pig iron. They are relatively brittle and will break when they encounter hard objects. They cannot be broken when hitting a thick granite wall.
Nowadays, the new Chinese shells are made of steel. They are strong and tough. No wonder they can break granite walls.
The marquise's heart was filled with jealousy. He was definitely not an ignorant meat-eater, knowing that being able to use cannonballs was a local tyrant's behavior.
Hearing the sound of shelling one after another, Marquis Gustav Klimt's face changed: "They have so many shells!"
He sighed in distress: "I hope God bless us!"
He encountered great battles and never wavered his confidence in victory, but to deal with the pagans in the East, he could only pray to God and ask God for blessing!
After a moment, a big bullet hit and hit the battlement, and it was smashed. The fragments splashed and fell like rain, triggering bursts of cheers from the South China Army, and the white skins looked ugly!
The "Emperor's Hammer" was hit with excitement. The white-skinned granite wall was finally attacked by Marquis Gustav Klimt, not tofu, even though it was hit with scars and bruises, it still stood.
If the small hammer is not enough, then replace the sledgehammer!
The commander of the Seventh Army, General Zeng Ying, personally guided the deployment of the "Thor's Hammer" heavy artillery. Thousands of officers, soldiers, and migrant workers worked together to drag the "Thor's Hammer" onto the hillside. The scene was magnificent!
Everyone is working hard, driving the cows and horses, dragging the "Thor's Hammer" slowly with the fist-thick cable, and he shouted slogans together, and the voice resounded through the sky, full of power, making the white skins frightened. Fully feel the terrible will of the Eastern pagans.
"God, let them go to hell!" The white skins crossed and prayed desperately.
However, no miracle happened. God did not send down the thunder, nor did the world destroy the world, nor did the wind blow~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Nothing happened. Maybe God has been defeated by the pagan guardian of the East, Mazu Niangniang, right? !
If it is not defeated, why doesn't God respond to the plea of his pious people? !
The giant cannons are in place, with three giant cannons as a group, a total of six groups are arranged, the muzzle is high, pointing towards the castle, so that the white skins can see the face as earthy.
Three days after the 210 cannon fired, the "Thor's Hammer" was also ready, and together they blasted towards the Bratislava Castle.
Each group of artillery fired, and the three shells were in the shape of a fringe, hammering hard against the granite wall like a giant wielding a hammer.
This tactic comes from the conquest of 1453. When the Ottoman Sultan Muhammad II used the "Urban Cannon" (similar to Thor's Hammer) to bombard the white skins garrisoned in Constantinople, Hungarian white skins came for promotion. Mohammed II told Mohammed II that letting the impact points of three giant artillery shells form a triangle can increase the damage to the city wall to the maximum. Now the South China Army is doing the same.
The city wall was shaking, and the white-skinned liver was also shaking!
The power of the cannon was extraordinary, and it shattered the outer city walls in some places. If it weren't for the double-layered city wall, the gap would have been opened long ago and the city would have been broken.
A group of shells struck and knocked the white skin of the entire city wall to the ground!
It was another set of heavy shells, and the head of the city wall resembled a boat swaying on the water. On the west side of the east city wall, a ten-meter-long city wall collapsed, showing a gap.
On the east inner city wall, Marquis Gustav Klimt summoned the officers and soldiers and said: "Unless you want this castle to fall into the hands of infidels, hurry up and fix the gap. I need manpower! Manpower!"
