Chapter 220: Need for Horse Cannon

Shang Wen copied the clothing design for a long time, mainly these design styles, Shang Wen did not understand. Shang Wen threw down the pen again and walked back and forth.

To design according to the original design style, Shang Wen felt that it was impossible to simulate the Rococo design. Shangwen doesn't understand at all, the difference in design is there.

"Huh." Shang Wen let out a heavy breath.

Shang Wen felt that there was no way. Suddenly Shang Wen flashed a hint of inspiration. Shang Wen thought of clothing, and recently wanted to design navy uniforms. This made Shangwen immediately find inspiration.

Military uniform design. Designed in accordance with military uniforms. The uniform is simple, just add some embellishments on it. It's not enough. Shang Wen expressed his appreciation for his whim. So Shangwen began to redesign.

The coat is made of fine plush material. With yellow velvet collar. There is a seam at the waist. For some embellishments, Shangwen painted some laces, ribbons and other embellishment designs that Shangwen is not well-known. A hat is indispensable.

Shang Wen doesn't know what hat to wear, but in order to provide more choice. Shangwen selectively sketched the big brimmed hat, the big brimmed hat, the painter hat, the octagonal hat and so on. For the accessories above, Shang Wen directly drew some accessories on the coat.

The coat is matched with breeches, and the colors are white, blue, brown, and black. In short, whatever. How could Shangwen know how to match women. This is their business. Shoes. Shang Wen directly designed high heels and women's boots.

"Huh." Shang Wen let out a long sigh of relief. If you continue to design it yourself, it is estimated that you can faint on it. Clothing is really not made by weapons experts.

Shang Wen quickly put a lot of drawings. Send it directly to the textile workshop. There are cutting, printing and dyeing personnel in the workshop. Shangwen made special requirements for colors. That's purple, or the more difficult it is to get, the better.

Craftsmen are a bit embarrassed, because these colors need to be mixed through many primary colors to obtain secondary colors. That is, multiple colors.

Especially yellow, it is very difficult to get. Shang Wen was a little helpless. But thinking that turmeric is yellow, this color is the main color. The other Shangwen really can't control it.

"Master Qin." Wang Jian shouted Shangwen from afar.

Shangwen finally found a reason for relief. Shang Wen left quickly. As for how to do it. Just leave it to the craftsman. Independent innovation ability should be cultivated in this way.

"General Wang, who is this?" Shang Wen said, arching his hands. Then a large number of middle-aged men in armor behind Wang Jian.

"This is Yang Duanhe, General Yang." Wang Jian introduced.

Yang Duanhe, this is Yang Duanhe. It was the first time Shangwen saw this person. This person is also a historical figure.

"My name is Qin Shangwen, and I am lucky enough to meet." Shangwen didn't know what to say, so he said something that Yang Duanhe didn't understand.

"Fortunately, we will meet." Yang Duan said indifferently. Both of them were confused.

"I don't know what's going on with General Wang coming this time." Shang Wen immediately changed the subject. If this continues, the atmosphere will be very embarrassing.

"We are here this time to equip the cavalry with muskets and artillery." Wang Jian said directly. It turned out that after Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe checked the cavalry equipment together, Wang Jian believed that the cavalry team should win the war faster and only equip them with new weapons such as muskets and artillery. These cavalry units were upgraded to new-style cavalry units.

Yang Duanhe was at a loss. Yang Duanhe was fighting on the front line in Taiyuan. He didn't know what the guns and artillery were. He just heard that the Yan Jun had equipped them. But I've never seen it before, this time I came with Wang Jian, just to see and see.

"This is no problem." Shang Wen said.

"General Wang, who are you going to fight against again this time?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yueshi." Wang Jian said directly.

"Yueshi." Shang Wen repeated.

"Yeah. My brother said, in the north, in addition to the Huns and Hu people, there are only the Yueshi who can threaten Daqin. This battle mainly depends on the cavalry. Therefore, the cavalry is great. Everything is easy to say." Yang Duanhe added immediately.

"Oh. That's the way it turns out." Shang Wen suddenly realized.

"Here, please." Shang Wen first brought the two to the artillery workshop.

The artillery workshop is busy. The workshop is very noisy. Upon seeing this, Shang Wen had to take the two to the shooting range specially for artillery shooting, because it was a dangerous weapon. The shooting range is far from the arsenal. The three went on horseback. Yang Duanhe likes riding horses very much. In the past, riding a horse was entirely a technical job. The body can maintain balance. That is not easy. But now it's different. With stirrups, anyone can maintain balance.

The three came to the shooting range. Shang Wen immediately started the introduction. The choice of cavalry is different from the choice of infantry. Infantry has a certain degree of stability, while cavalry needs fast mobility. In other words. The weight of the artillery must be able to keep up with the maneuvering speed of the cavalry. In combat situations, artillery can support cavalry operations.

The first thing Shang Wen ordered to show was the fourteen-fold five-inch artillery commonly used by infantrymen. This is equipment commonly used by infantrymen.

"Let it go." A command was given. The artillery fired immediately.

"Boom." "Whooh. Whow." The cannonball whizzed out, this time it was a solid bullet. Then there are grenade and shotgun. Grenade.

Yang Duanhe saw the power of artillery for the first time. For this weapon, we still think in accordance with the infantry way of thinking.

"Good. Good." Yang Duanhe admired the most snarling weapon.

"Duanhe, these are infantry weapons. Sooner or later, these weapons will be equipped in all the infantry phalanxes in Daqin. Now the cavalry weapons are selected." Wang Jian whispered.

"Oh." Yang Duanhe said embarrassedly.

"Mr. Qin, I still know the power of this artillery. However, it is not in line with cavalry combat. This artillery is really too heavy and too big. Can it be lighter?" Wang Jian asked.

"Be lighter." Shang Wen repeated.

"Be lighter." Shang Wen thought for a while. He turned around and said a few words to the experimenter on the side.

"This is a three-inch twelve-fold gun exported by Qiguo." Shang Wen said.

"The overall weight is about the average of a five-inch artillery." Shang Wen said roughly.

"How powerful is it?" Wang Jian asked most concerned.

"This, this is export-oriented. I'm afraid it's not as good as a five-inch artillery. A five-degree shot can hit two miles away, and a ten-degree angle is estimated to be three miles away, but it's powerful. The caliber is only three inches. The power is only better than the two-inch caliber. It's bigger. But if you compare it with a five-inch artillery, it's hard to tell." Shang Wen said reluctantly. Because Shangwen knows. The difference in caliber is an inch, and the difference in power is a world of difference. If it is used as a Qin army horse cannon. The equipment is estimated to have to be redesigned.
