This earth-shattering explosion shocked the entire battlefield. There was even silence for more than ten seconds on the entire battlefield.

Everyone was stunned. The previous bombardment, with its fire, smoke and loud noise, was astonishing. However, the shells fired are just solid lead balls and cannot explode.

In this era, although there are already explosive bombs, they are not very powerful. It's just a new weapon that is far from practical standards.

In 2007, cast iron mines from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty were unearthed in the Dongsheng area of ​​Inner Mongolia. These mines were detonated using coils of incense as time fuses.

And the internal gunpowder is a granular wet gunpowder. Also unearthed were heavy artillery shells from the Ming Dynasty, which should have been used in conjunction with general cannons.

Cast iron spheres are divided into two sizes. The larger one has a diameter of 11 cm and weighs 1.7 kg. The smaller one has a diameter of 8.5 cm and weighs 0.8 kg. There is a protruding platform on the surface of the sphere, which is about 0.6 to 0.7 cm high and about 3 cm in diameter. , there is a small circular hole with a diameter of about 0.4 to 0.5 cm in the middle of the table.

These unearthed objects show that there were two calibers of general artillery at that time, and they had begun to use blooming explosive bombs.

One has a diameter of 110 mm, and the other has a diameter of 85 mm. From these unearthed objects, we can draw the following conclusions.

This proves that the East and the West developed blooming bullets according to independent technical routes for a type of bullet commonly used in modern times, that is, he shells.

There is one difference between Eastern and Western explosive bullets: Western explosive bullets have a hole in the cast iron body and a wooden

The "information pipe" is blocked, in

The "message tube" is filled with slow-burning gunpowder to detonate. The flowering bombs of the Ming Dynasty were

"There is a protruding platform on the surface of the sphere, about 0.6 to 0.7 centimeters high and about 3 centimeters in diameter. There is a small round hole in the middle of the table with a diameter of about 0.4 to 0.5 centimeters." It is estimated that a plug was inserted into the hole.

"Medicine twist" to detonate. therefore

"Information Management",

"Medicine twisters" are the ancestors of modern artillery shell fuzes. These unearthed cultural relics also prove that the East and the West independently developed explosive shells.

The reason why explosive bombs are not mainstream in this era is mainly because the explosive power of black powder is relatively high.

If it were replaced by Yang Fan's fertilizer and explosives, it would be completely different. As Zhou Yuji finished firing the gunpowder-propelled grenade.

On the arrow tower in front, the regiment training soldiers carried grenade launchers on their shoulders and opened fire one after another. One arrow tower after another spewed black smoke.

Gunpowder-propelled grenades flew toward a dozen assault vehicles. A team officer looked at the small black dots flying towards each other with black smoke. He felt a little confused and didn't know that these were some magical things.

There will be many flying firearms in the Ming Dynasty. What about hundreds of tigers running together with arrows, and what about flying dragons emerging from the water. But I have never seen such a thing before, and I don’t know what it is.

Before he could take a closer look, a grenade had already flown in front of him, accurately hitting a heavy ram that was being pushed hard by the soldiers.

This grenade has a small three-pronged steel prong on the warhead. A winter sound. Inserted into the collision wood.

The bullet penetrated into the giant tree, and the bullet body trembled violently. The sudden grenade startled the soldiers pushing carts around them.

I didn’t know this was some crazy thing. But since no one was hit. I feel relieved. It seems that this thing, like the Hundred Tigers Running Arrow, uses the three prongs on the front of the warhead to kill the enemy. Since it did not stab anyone, everyone can feel relieved.

Keep pushing the cart. Because each of them was given a reward of ten taels of silver before setting off. The superiors said that as long as the city wall was broken open, each person would be given another twenty taels.

At this time, morale was high and everyone was brave. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as long as you are willing to give money, especially cash.

One knot at a time is best. If you can give a part of the deposit in advance to show your sincerity. That's even better.

Naturally, everyone is brave. Otherwise, no matter how deceptive the generals are, the soldiers will not be fooled. How much money you pay, we will pay you.

Absolute exchange of equal value, fair trade, no deception. At this time, Captain Hu looked at the two-foot-long grenade that was shaking violently, and suddenly felt a feeling of panic.

He seemed to hear a sizzling sound, a bit like the sound of a snake spitting out its seeds. A strong sense of crisis came over.

At this moment, there was a bang and a white light flashed. A cloud of smoke and flames, a fireball, rose. Three kilograms of explosives are equivalent to the power of 750 grams of TNT.

It exploded with a bang, and the small steel balls wrapped around the pillar flew out in all directions like a heavy rain. The entire forty or fifty people around the car were all blown away.

The giant collision log was directly blown up and broke into two sections. The chassis of the smashed car was completely shattered. Ten heavy wooden wheels flew into the sky like millstones, and then crashed into the crowd.

There was confusion and screams from the crowd. There was no wind on the battlefield today, so the launch trajectory of the gunpowder-propelled grenade was very standard.

All six fired in the first round hit. Because this weapon is elongated, it is easily affected by cross winds.

It is basically unusable in strong winds above level 5. Couldn't hit the target at all. This weapon is also different from rockets.

Rockets have propellant on their bodies, and they fly forward by spitting fire backwards. As for this kind of gunpowder-propelled grenade, the flying projectile itself has no fuel to propel it.

It is in the launch tube that the propellant explodes and knocks it out. It's actually the same principle as cannonballs.

Therefore, the essence of this weapon is a front-loaded, smooth-bore, recoilless rifle. The reason why Yang Fan insisted on taking the recoilless gun route was mainly because the propellant powder burned out in the launch tube and the shells flew along the inertia.

The accuracy rate is much higher than rockets. Rockets carry fuel and fly while erupting. More are affected.

After the grenades exploded one after another, they directly blew up the six assault vehicles that were densely packed with people.

The rebels pushing carts around and holding shields and long weapons for cover were all blown to the ground. Taking the center of the explosion as the center of the circle, the rebels within a radius of more than ten meters were blown to pieces.

Zhou Yuji looked at the six terrifying craters below and a large circle of rebels who were killed and injured.

He didn't speak for a long time. The power of this thing has increased again. It should be that the explosives filled in the warhead have been upgraded again.

The power is much greater than before. Huang Hao said to the messenger: "Let them change the incendiary bombs and fire two more rounds." This time Huang Hao came out with a new weapon, and the arsenal also specifically told him to put a recorder next to the launcher to record the use on the battlefield. Condition.

to facilitate their improvement. Therefore, the high-explosive bombs, white phosphorus, aluminum powder, magnesium powder and white sugar mixed incendiary bombs, napalm bombs and other types of bombs brought this time must be tested.

After all, being in the lab is completely different from being on the battlefield. Only on the battlefield, the weapons that soldiers say are good are truly good weapons.

If a soldier dislikes, throws away, and is unwilling to use a weapon, even if it is a highly hyped weapon by the designer, it is not a good weapon.
