Chapter 663: New Equipment
"Are there new weapons?" Ying Zheng said happily.
Zhang Han on the side nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, that is sir's latest invention. It is easy to carry, has a long range, and is more powerful than grenades. It is very suitable for archers to deal with cavalry.
If the other party also has rifles like us, then this mortar is more than enough for them.
And I think this is more effective against cavalry. "
Qin An said: "Not to mention cavalry, they can cause great damage to all ancient arms.
If it were the imperial army outside the village, today's weapons could completely destroy them.
But the forces far away from home have poor weapons now, and they need me to develop the AK47.
That can be considered as having the capital to fight with the opponent. Coupled with grenades and mortars, you can have a real fight with the opponent. "
"Are the forces outside so powerful?" Xiang Yu asked curiously.
Qin An smiled and said: "Of course, you will know after watching the movie. Okay, Lao Zhang, bring the machine gun over and let Xiao Xiang have a try.
As for the mortars, let the gunners fire them and let them practice. "
"Okay." Zhang Han said, "I'll make arrangements now."
Zhang Han came back within a few minutes of leaving, but there were three more people behind him, one of whom was holding a machine gun, and the other two, one was holding a grenade, and the other was holding artillery shells.
"Give General Xiang the machine gun and teach him how to use it. The other two will arrange the mortars." Zhang Han ordered. .
Then Zhang Han came to Ying Zheng, took off the telescope hanging from his neck, and said, "Village Chief, this is also your recent invention. It's called a telescope. It can see things thousands of meters away."
"Wouldn't that mean he became a clairvoyant?" Ying Zheng said in shock.
"Clairvoyance is an exaggeration." Qin An said, "It means shortening the distance of two thousand meters to about one hundred meters."
"That's very powerful." Ying Zheng said, "Teach me how to use it?"
Seeing that Ying Zheng couldn't wait, Qin An told him how to use the telescope. It was actually very simple, just put the telescope in front of your eyes, as long as you don't get it in the wrong direction.
After Ying Zheng complied, the artillery could see the target clearly in the distance, especially the target three hundred meters away. It was really amazing.
"It's so clear, so clear, Qin An. Can this telescope be mass-produced?"
"Of course." Qin An said, "I have already mass-produced it, but the magnification of the telescope has been reduced. It is very suitable as a toy for children."
"As a toy?"
When Ying Zheng and others heard this, they all looked at Qin An as if they were crazy. This is a magic weapon on the battlefield, but you actually use it as a toy?
Zhang Han on the side said very speechlessly: "Originally, my husband made this telescope for his unborn child to play with. I saw it and found that it is very useful for scouts.
So I asked about this telescope and learned that it could be used in the military.
When a scout carries it, he can clearly see the situation of the enemy's camp even on the mountain.
With it, the general can control the entire battle situation, which is more advantageous for arranging the battle situation.
Finally, I begged my husband to make ten telescopes that could allow people to see a thousand meters away. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "It is true that you have seen far. You have done a good job and have made a great contribution." Then he looked at Qin An with a somewhat complaining look, "You should have taken out such a good thing earlier and only made ten of them, too It’s missing.”
"Father-in-law, my telescope is not the best." Qin An said, "You will be out in a year. I can help you buy a better telescope."
"I want this. If you can improve it, it will be better." Ying Zheng said.
"Okay. Let me improve it for you. Next time I come, I will give you a pair of twenty-fold telescopes that will allow you to see five times.
Thousands of meters away. Qin An said.
"Okay." Ying Zheng said excitedly, "When you go back, you can give me the drawings. I will use them."
"Okay." Qin An said, "These are all gadgets. Let's test the machine guns and mortars now.
By the way, go get four more pairs of binoculars and let everyone use them. Only when you see the explosion at close range can you know the power of the mortar. "
"No." A soldier quickly went to get the binoculars.
Xiang Yu already knew how to use the machine gun. Holding the machine gun, he turned to Ying Zheng and others and said, "Village chief, sir, we are shooting."
Ying Zheng nodded.
Then Xiang Yu pulled the trigger.
"Da da da……"
The sound of machine gun fire suddenly rang out. Sparks continued from the muzzle of the machine gun, and bullet casings kept falling down. Bullet holes continued to appear on the human-shaped target fifty meters in front, and it was finally completely disabled.
The humanoid target has completely lost its human appearance, leaving only a pillar.
"With such fierce power and such speed, my thousand men and horses will be wiped out in a few minutes. Even the cavalry cannot escape these bullets.
The speed of the cavalry is not as fast as the bullets of the machine guns. With the machine guns, those rifles are not enough. Xiang Yu said excitedly.
Men should use machine guns, not rifles.
Qin An nodded and said, "You are right. Facing machine guns, the cavalry will only be slaughtered. Especially the Maxim machine gun, which is the nemesis of the cavalry. Many cavalry will fall in front of it."
"Then you should study it quickly." Ying Zheng said.
"Enough, these weapons are enough for now." Qin An said, "What I'm worried about are actually tanks and armored vehicles.
If outside forces possess such weapons, then we have to worry. "
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Even if there are tanks, it's useless. We are in a mountainous area and they can't drive in."
Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang didn't know what this tank or armored vehicle was.
Qin An nodded and said: "My father-in-law is right, I have nothing to worry about. The mountain roads here are so complicated that they have no way of driving the armored vehicles in.
The binoculars are here, let's get ready to see the power of the mortar. "
A soldier came out with a telescope and gave it to Xiang Yu and others.
Qin An took a telescope and looked at a place a thousand meters away. When he saw a tree, he said, "The target is a tree a thousand meters away. Adjust the angle and fire."
Two soldiers had already fixed the mortar. Then one soldier squatted, and the other was adjusting the angle and making gestures with his fingers. Finally, he picked up the shell and put it into the grenade, and the shell flew away. go out.
"Boom."
The big tree thousands of meters away was instantly blown to pieces, sand and rocks flew, and fire broke out everywhere.
