There are too many regrets in history, I will mend them

When bronze appeared, the Stone Age came to an end; when steel smelting became more and more mature, bronze became more of a decoration; when gunpowder was invented, although steel was not eliminated, the mode of warfare has changed.

Because some people were afraid of the power of firearms and worried that someone would use firearms to overthrow their rule, they suppressed the development of firearms and missed the opportunity for China to take off.

It was because he was suppressed that the covetous villains used the power of firearms to blow open the country's gates and poison their own people.

The country is in ruins, a century of humiliation, and the country may be destroyed at any time. This is the consequence of the power of civilization not being in the hands of a true civilization.

Fortunately, China has always been invincible. When it comes out of desperation, it will return to glory.

Because I have experienced suffering, I know better the equivalence between truth and range.

Zhuo Fan vigorously promoted the development of thermal weapons in Daqin. Under his preparation, Daqin's Pyrotechnics Department focused on the research and development of various types of gunpowder and explosives, as well as related industries.

Together with emerging enterprises such as Daqin Xianyang Military Industry and Qinfeng Heavy Industry, we will create the framework of Daqin’s complete military industry system in the future.

What this 1,000-man army outside Wu County now controls is the top military products of Da Qin.

The front row still retains a defensive shield wall to protect against damage from close range arrows. All Qin soldiers have a rifle made in Xianyang, and each of them carries 10 rounds of bullets, that is, 50 rounds.

The official name of the Xianyang gun made in Da Qin is: the first generation of Firebird-type armored manual bolt-type firegun. 7.92mm caliber, using a non-automatic rotating bolt action, magazine capacity of 5 rounds.

The rate of fire is about 10~15 rounds per minute, the muzzle velocity is 820 meters per second, the effective range is 1000 meters, and it can be equipped with a bayonet.

Made in Xianyang is a product that combines the advantages of the famous gun 98K and Mosin Nagant. It is also a transitional product of the Qin Army before entering the semi-automatic era.

After the shooting phalanx was built in Xianyang, there was an artillery phalanx composed of 50 civilian 20-type 82mm mortars.

The name of this cannon in Da Qin was: Kuiniutian Cannon.

The total weight of the Kuiniutian artillery is 69 kilograms (about 264.4 kilograms), the barrel length is 1190 millimeters (14.5 times the diameter), the caliber is 82 millimeters, the high and low firing range is 45 to 85, and the directional firing range is 8 to 22.

The grenade weighs 3.8 kilograms (about 14.7 kilograms), has a muzzle velocity of 196 meters per second, a maximum rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute, and a maximum range of 2850 meters.

What is the concept of combining these two weapons? Just compare it and you will know.

The projectile range of a bow and arrow is generally 200 meters, which is about 400 steps. If it is a human-powered war spear, this distance will only be shorter, up to about 200 steps.

(Sorry, I didn’t calculate carefully in the last chapter, and I can’t modify it now. The actual distance is based on this.)

When the Xianyang Zaoli bullets are loaded and the mortar positions are set up, the outcome of this battle is already determined.

The Xiang family's cavalry are still charging wildly, but they don't know that the faster they charge, the closer they are to death.

"Target enemy cavalry, prepare for the first round of saturation bombardment."

When the distance between the two sides came within 2,500 meters, Fusu, as the temporary captain of the mortar unit, gave the order in a hurry.

"Prepare, let go!"

50 guns were loaded and fired at the same time. Even if the mortar fire made little noise, it was quite shocking when superimposed.

In a series of"boom boom boom" sounds, parabolas of death appeared in the air, and the 82mm caliber justice Falling from the sky towards the Xiang family's cavalry phalanx

"Be careful to avoid the Qin army throwing stones."

Xiang Yu was the first to notice the black spots flying towards him in the distance. Although he was curious about where the Qin army got the trebuchets, he and his cavalry had no intention of stopping.

"As long as we survive this round, the Qin army will be at our mercy."

Xiang Yu continued to wave his spear to boost morale, and the cavalrymen all followed him with roars. They didn't take the black spots seriously.

As the black spots approached, Xiang Yu lost the confidence he had before, and he had a premonition of extreme danger. It became gradually clearer, and all the hairs on his body stood on their own, as if he saw death coming.

"Charge faster and don't stop!"

Xiang Yu mistook the mortar for a more advanced trebuchet. Instead, he mistakenly issued the most correct order at the moment. The common feature of mortars and trebuchets is that once the launch is fixed, it can theoretically be judged based on the parabola. Trajectory. Experts can also use their intuition to predict and then move in advance.

The difference is also greater. Putting aside convenience, etc., the speed and lethality of the two are as different as clouds and mud.

So the Xiang family cavalry who are charging rapidly see Seems to be avoiding it, but not completely avoiding it

"Hey, these rocks are so small."

One moment, the Xiang family cavalry were wondering that these stones were not as big as expected, and were so small that they could hardly hit anyone. The next moment, they were about to laugh at the Qin army, and they realized what it was like to make people fall on their backs.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

For the first time, the mortar shells that landed exploded in actual combat in this era.

The explosion is art, the explosion is beauty. In the firelight of the explosion, there are the blooming of blood flowers, the withering of life, and the lamentation of war horses and cavalry.

Those who were close to the explosion point were either blown to pieces or were overturned by the shock wave. Those who died directly were lucky. More people were trapped under their horses and companions and struggled hard, unable to escape. It was farther away from the explosion point. Yes, because the war horses were frightened and lost their direction due to the collision of others, they tried hard to control themselves not to fall under the horses. They all knew that once they fell off the horses, they would only be trampled into pulp by countless horse hooves. The neatly charging military formations were roaring with a loud noise. Chaos turned into a pot of porridge. Even Xiang Yu could not control this out-of-control team. Only the more than two hundred people in the front row were not greatly affected.

Xiang Yu, who took the lead, escaped the danger of the explosion, but even with his bravery, he still had lingering fears.

"No wonder the Qin army is so confident that they have mastered such a terrifying magic method."

Xiang Yu did not stop charging. If he stopped, he would only become a target for the opponent. He ordered the more than a hundred cavalry in the forward line to continue advancing with him without stopping. There were inevitable casualties behind them. What's more important was that the cavalry's frustration and turmoil blocked the rear infantry. They are the Xiang family's last hope in this battle.

"The trebuchet takes time to reload, and it cannot attack approaching targets. If you stick to it and kill it, with the bravery of our Jiangdong children, we can still win!"

Xiang Yu roared to further boost morale. They finally rushed within 2 miles and could launch a counterattack immediately.

However, the villain's dream of victory was shattered just at the beginning. What shattered their dream was the gunfire and gunpowder smoke created by Xianyang..

The Qin army deliberately let go of the Xiang family's cavalry forward line. If they didn't let some people come over, how could they test the power of Hanyang's cavalry in actual combat?

"Free target ahead, one row, two rows, one volley, let go!"

At the command, the 7.92mm Justice flew towards the Xiang family cavalry. The cavalrymen who had escaped the mortar were united as one, and small blood flowers exploded from their bodies at the same time.

In the painful roar of the war horses, listen to There was a loud"ah" sound, and even Xiang Yu was no exception. He was hit by several bullets and fell off his horse. At this time, these Xiang family cavalry were still a full mile away from the Qin army's formation, more than half a mile.
