Chapter 145: Shell classification

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

The list of this batch of weapons includes twenty artillery and two hundred muskets. There are already a large number of ammunition, Yan Wang looked at the latest artillery, already a gun. Very excited.

He hadn't seen the power of guns and artillery. Only learned the power of muskets from the servants.

"Come here. The widow should try this artillery."

"Here." The generals agreed.

In order to have a better effect.

The artillery was erected directly on the head of the city.

King Yan couldn't wait long ago. When the artillery was loaded, the fuze was hurriedly lit.

The "bang" shell flew out.

The distance is about two miles away. Compared with traditional weapons, artillery is still powerful. But Wang Ben on the side didn't think so.

Through this actual combat, Wang Ben realized that artillery will have an important position in future tactics. And in this defensive battle, the shooting effect of the musket was not very obvious, but the artillery played a huge role.

At relatively close range, this two-inch caliber artillery still has certain advantages, but when it hits farther, the advantage of this artillery is very insignificant. It is even a defect.

Wang Ben kept these in his mind, and he wanted to go back and write a report to Mr. Qin. Because of these problems. All he needs desperately. What he does now is to observe as much as possible the problems of firearms in actual combat.

And in Qin State. Shangwen had long realized the determination of the lack of power of the artillery. This two-inch artillery is at best a horse-riding cannon, which is a weapon for cavalry. As the caliber decreases, the power does not decrease slightly. Moreover, there are too few types of shells.

There is no special response to infantry attacking nearby. The infantry phalanx that the brigade has advanced.

The most important thing is that none of the current artillery types are classified. The bullet of the rifle is also relatively single. The work that needs improvement is very large.

The first is that the caliber of the artillery should be greatly increased. From the original two inches to five inches. And become the standard. In terms of materials, in order to shorten the process. Cancel the original copper artillery. It is made of a lot of bronze instead. As long as it is thickened to prevent the chamber from exploding. As for the weapon of reference, that is the Napoleon cannon. M1857 type twelve-pounder artillery. Specific data needs to be converted.

Next is the classification of artillery.

Artillery is mostly field artillery. Field artillery must be divided into cannons and howitzers. The howitzer is specially used against infantry. The howitzer has a short body and a high elevation angle. The initial velocity is slow and the trajectory is parabolic. The effective range is between 400 and 500. Specially kill infantry.

The types of shells have also begun to differentiate.

Adding explosive bombs, shot bombs and grenade shots, the processing technology is very simple, such things, craftsmen should be competent.

Shangwen only needs to write down the specific processing methods.

The blasting bomb is hollow inside and has 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, which is tailored according to the distance during launch.

The shotgun has a cylindrical body with a thin iron sheet on the outer layer, and a wooden bore at the bottom. The projectile body is packed with small iron projectiles, not gunpowder. The principle is similar to a gun, not a cannon.

The structure of the grenade shell is similar to that of the blasting shell, and the principle is similar to the shot shell. This kind of shell is mainly equipped in the British army. It is best to fire with a cannon.

Shang Wen just finished writing the artillery shell principle. Yinger walked in with the food.

"How did the sir get up? The illness just got better, so I should rest more." Eiji said persuasively.

"The doctor said. Your wind and cold are mostly caused by fatigue. Let you rest more. Lie down." Ying'er said.

"Oh, I see. Shang Wen put his pen and notebook away." Shang Wen said and did it.

"That's right. I have one more thing." Shang Wen said and found a drawing from the cabinet on one side.

"Do you know how to make such boots?" Shang Wen said, handing over the drawing.

"This is???" Yinger said after taking over the drawing.

"Paratrooper boots." Shang Wen said.

"It’s the soles that are troublesome, and I haven’t solved it. It’s the toughness of the shoe. If you use wood, the toughness will be reduced. I hope to use a material that can be tough. But it still has a certain degree of firmness. I don't know where to look yet. See if you can solve it." Shang Wen said.

"Oh, so." Ying'er nodded and said.

"Sir, let's use the rice first, let me figure it out." Ying'er walked out with the drawing.

Shang Wen was already hungry. I saw that the food served was basically vegetarian. Shang Wen is very satisfied.

While eating, write scribbled flowers with a pen.

When thinking of paratrooper boots, you should design boots of several different regions, rather than a single one. Such as deserts, rain forests, and mountains. In the future, the expansion of the State of Qin will require a lot of such equipment.

There is also the equipment for infantry. Such as musket belt. After Shangwen made the musket, he didn't make a special musket belt specially. The soldier's musket belt is varied. Some even fit into the jacket. Thought of this. Shangwen felt that a special armed belt or tactical vest should be made. The situation depends on how the soldiers use it.

This is not determined by one's habits. It mainly depends on the acceptance of Qin soldiers.

Thinking of this, Shang Wen was chewing on the food, holding a pen and drew the armed belt roughly. And tactical vest. As for some leather bags. These should not be a problem. All leather armors are used now. You should have proficient processing skills in leather making. Humans are not familiar with leather at all.

In the State of Zhao, King Zhao received Li Mu's memorial and was furious. The dignified star was defeated unexpectedly. It's ridiculous.

"Li Mu, Li Mu. What is your name?" Zhao Wang scolded loudly.

"What comes down to the firearms of the country of Yan. That firearm is so powerful." Zhao Wang cursed loudly.

Seeing that King Zhao lost his temper, the attendant dared not step forward to dissuade him. Can only wait quietly.

Yan Country. After Yan Wang tested the artillery, his self-confidence suddenly swelled to the extreme. The unilateral belief is that with firearms, you can be invincible. Even Zhao Guo didn't care about it.

"The widow wants to counterattack Zhao Jun. What do you think?" King Yan asked while looking at the artillery.

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

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

Wang Ben on the side looked a little disdainfully. This group of idiots are looking for a dead end. Then how could Li Mu sit still like this. If he chased after he had won the defense, he would have won a big victory. Now Li Mu is ready. Only failure awaits you.
