Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 141 Artillery Training
At the training ground in the ravine, Chai Meng, the reconnaissance battalion, has already prepared artillery positions.Two [-]-caliber General Cannons and ten [-]-caliber Crouching Tiger Cannons were lined up neatly.

Chai Lin said: "The Naohailong pirates have been entrenched pirates for many years. There are more than a thousand people. If they attack by force, even if they win, they will suffer heavy losses. We can't afford heavy casualties, so we can only rely on these weapons."

Ruan Xiaoqi looked strange, and asked: "These weapons are the strange iron cylinders that brother said?"

Bian Xiang also didn't know why.

"Come on, let's take a look first. Let's take a look at this big guy with wheels first. This is called the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon, or the General Cannon for short. The small one is called the Crouching Tiger Cannon. Mengzi, fire two cannons to let the brothers in the water army and the mountain camp Open your eyes." Chailin said.

"Okay, just look at it." Chai Meng waved his hand, and six gunners went up to operate the General Cannon. First, they used the cannon brush to clean the barrel, and then filled the weighed gunpowder and pressed it gently. , Put in a twelve-pound iron ball.

The torch was lit on the gun letter, "Cover your ears and open your mouth."

Everyone was obedient, only Ruan Xiaoqi thought it was no big deal and didn't try to plug his ears. Boom, thick smoke billowed, two cannons sounded, and two solid iron balls hit four or five miles away.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "It's over, my ears are buzzing, I can't hear anything."

Chai Lin said: "It's okay, it's just a shock. It will be fine in a few days. Next time, I will remember better. Plug your ears and open your mouth."

Bian Xiang took a closer look and said, "Is this the legendary cannon?"

"Exactly, the cannon can hit iron balls four or five miles away. If it is a shotgun, it can hit hundreds of steel balls at once, and it is like the wind blowing within a thousand meters. The general cannon is heavy and powerful. It is most suitable for city defense or warships, of course, the gun only weighs [-] jin, and the weight and weight of the frame only weighs [-]-[-] jin, so it is also suitable for field battles on the plains.” Chai Lin said.

"What about this small one?" Bian Xiang asked.

"This small one is called the Crouching Tiger Cannon. Regardless of its small size, it is quite powerful. The solid bullet can hit 500 meters, and the shot bullet can hit 200 meters. And this is really convenient. Loaded with ammunition and equipment, a group of three can be easily carried on the back, quickly assembled, very convenient. Mengzi, try to shoot two rounds." Chailin said.

The gunner quickly loaded two tiger squatting cannons. In order to achieve obvious effects, ten dummies were specially set up at 200 meters.

"Get ready, fire." With a loud roar.

This time Ruan Xiaoqi behaved well, covered his ears early, and fired two cannonballs.

The ten dummies fell down immediately, and Bian Xiang and Xiao Qi saw that they were real. This was too powerful. People who were hundreds of meters away from the artillery were instantly finished.

Chai Lin said: "Xiao Qi, Bian Xiang, you two will each lead the team to learn how to use this artillery. You will be given three days. After three days, you will go to the beach to practice landing. During these three days, you must learn and strictly follow the artillery drills."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task." The two said.

Let's talk about the seaside. Chai Yong led 100 people in the pro-barracks, and ten general cannons were deployed to build positions on the left and right sides of the port's exit.The estuary is narrow, with a width of only 500 meters. There are cannons on the left and right sides. It is completely possible to use shotguns to cover ships that want to enter the port. For the sake of confidentiality, no artillery test firing was carried out.These pirates have no idea that there are cannons arranged here, not to mention they don't know what it is even if they see it.

Pang Wanchun Qingqi and the leader of the heavy camp arrived, and set up camp not far behind the pier.Although there are more than 200 people in total, the formation is not small. The banner of the Cangzhou regiment is flying in the wind, followed by the battalion flag, and dozens of colored flags are waving in the wind.

In the evening, it was already dark, and the camp had just been set up.

A team of cavalry patrolling outside captured a spy and sent him to Pang Wanchun's tent.

Pang Wanchun said: "Who are you and why are you spying on my camp?"

The visitor said cautiously, "I'm a fisherman nearby. I'm a fisherman nearby. I haven't seen the barracks since I was a child, so I came to have a look."

Pang Wanchun said to the left and right: "Go to the iron mine site and invite Zhang Han and Zhang Zhuangzhu to come here to identify and see if this person is a local fisherman?"

"Yes." The cavalry went down to invite Zhang Han.

After a while Zhang Han arrived on horseback, Pang Wanchun clasped his fists and said, "Master Zhang, I am bothering you at such a late hour."

Zhang Handao: "One family doesn't talk about two families, so there is no need to be polite."

"It's like this. Just now the cavalry patrol found this man secretly spying on the camp. He said he was a local fisherman. Does owner Zhang know him?" Pang Wanchun asked.

Zhang Han looked at the man's face, shook his head, and said, "We don't have such a person in Haijia Village, I don't know where."

Pang Wanchun said: "It's not easy to handle. Let me ask you again, who sent you here and what is the purpose."

"I'm just curious. It's just to have a look. I don't have any purpose." The man's mouth was still quite stiff.

Pang Wanchun reached out to fetch the bow and arrow, and said, "It's been a long time since I shot fruit. I prepared three pears. Let's go outside."

"Yes."

When a group of people came outside, the soldiers fixed the man on the pole and put a pear on his head.

With a distance of 50 meters, Pang Wanchun drew his bow and shot an arrow, saying: "Everyone is watching, I will win if my arrow hits the water pear."

Zhang Han said: "Then what if you shoot low."

"If you're too low, there's nothing you can do. It's probably right in front of this person, with a hole in his head."

After finishing speaking, Pang Wanchun swished an arrow and hit Shuili right in the middle.

The man was terrified enough, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Han said: "Brother Wanchun, my hands are itchy. I want to play too. My arrow is rotten. I need to practice more."

"Okay, Master Zhang, come and try." Pang Wanchun said.

Another soldier went over and put a pear on the man's head. Zhang Han drew his bow like a full moon, and the man closed his eyes in fright.

Bang, there was a sound of a bow, and when there was no arrow coming, he opened his eyes.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "Sorry, my hand slipped, I will come again."

The man's face turned green with fright, it turned out that this man didn't know how to use bows and arrows at all.

"I said, I said, let me go, let me go." The man was scared to pee.It's too scary, if someone who can shoot arrows has a good head, and those who don't know how to shoot arrows randomly shoot arrows, and it won't be delicious to eat when they hit their heads.

Pang Wanchun brought the spies back to the tent again, and the man said: "I was sent by Nao Hailong, the head of the family, to investigate the situation. I want to find out how many troops and warships you have."

"Oh, so that's the case. Tell me, how many troops and warships are there on your island?" Pang Wanchun asked.

"There are only people on the island, no horses. There are more than a thousand people and more than 30 warships." The man said.

Pang Wanchun smiled and said: "I think you are a straightforward man, and I won't kill you, but you have to bring a letter back. Mr. Chai said, I will write a letter for you to take back."

Pang Wanchun's writing is still very good, and he is also talented. He got on his horse and beat Kuanghu, got off his horse and drafted an army letter, and wrote a letter in a hurry. , Mr. Chai will reuse them regardless of past suspicions.

This is what Chai Lin explained, why do you want to recruit them, because Chai Lin considers that Hailong is usually bullying and dominating the market, and there are no places that are too cruel, such as murder and arson. Persuade surrender.
