When you need to adjust the shooting angle, you only need to twist the gun body slightly to get a new shooting angle. This is much more convenient than burying the gun in the soil before!
Moreover, Qi Jiguang has a sharp eye, and the little tail of the cannon he discovered seems to have another use! When he thought about it, if he tied a horse behind the artillery, he could pull the artillery and move quickly! This allows the artillery to keep up with the march of the large troops and provide sufficient fire support to the troops at any time. This is simply a huge change!
The cannons in front of me are none other than the famous Napoleonic cannons of later generations! This artillery followed Napoleon throughout Europe. After being tested in actual combat, it is already the ultimate version of a front-loading artillery! Now Liu Haojia takes him out directly and can defeat any kind of artillery in the world!
After these artillery pieces were pushed into the camp, soldiers then ran into the school grounds pushing Fran cannons on light gun mounts. Even if everyone here has never seen this kind of Franco cannon, they have heard of it, so they don’t pay special attention to them!
But what they didn't know was that Liu Haojia had already guided the craftsmen to improve the Folan cannon! The main improvement is air tightness!
The Fran cannon is an artillery piece that can replace preloaded muskets to achieve rapid fire! The advantage of this kind of artillery is that it has a fast rate of fire, is lightweight, and is powerful! But he has a fatal flaw, which is air leakage!
Because this kind of artillery needs to be loaded with preloaded muskets into the barrel before firing. The gun was too big to fit in, so I just made it smaller. But if it is made too small, the gas produced by the burning gunpowder will spurt out from the gaps! Not to mention reducing the chamber pressure, it can also easily injure people!
Therefore, Liu Haojia decided to improve the Franco cannon at the beginning of casting, and his method of improvement was also very simple! It is to unify weights and measures and completely standardize the production of artillery! Then repeatedly add fixing rings to areas prone to air leakage, which improves air tightness and safety!
It's strange to say that since the Qin Dynasty completed the unification of weights and measures, including cars on the same track, books on the same text, and weights and measures, after so many years, the weights and measures in various places have returned to their original state, which is messy!
When Liu Haojia first hired a few craftsmen, he discovered that the rulers in their hands had too big an error! As a result, they took a ruler and saw that the eight craftsmen's rulers had eight sizes! In this case, due to inconsistent weights and measures, coupled with errors, air leakage in the artillery is a natural phenomenon!
Now after his guidance, although I can't say that the new artillery is absolutely leak-proof, at least it has reached optimization! After testing, it was found that when designing solid shells for this newly made artillery, it could travel at least twenty steps further than the original! This can be said to greatly improve the power of the artillery!
The last artillery that came in was different from the previous two. They were lighter in appearance. They were just pushed in on a two-wheeled cart! However, the artillery looks very strange. The barrel is very short and looks like a huge stone mortar!
Qi Jiguang didn't know what the use of this kind of artillery was, but he didn't care either! Because in this era of firing solid artillery shells, anyone who knows a little bit about artillery knows that the deterrent effect of artillery is far greater than its lethality! Unless you happen to land in a crowded place, you will just hear a noise!
After the artillery was in position, they lined up the artillery in front of them and formed a square formation again! At this time, a group of cavalry rushed in outside the camp gate! This pair of cavalry looked like there were eight or nine hundred men! Since they came in at the rear, they did not run in quickly, but maintained a certain formation! In the end, they formed a rough square formation just like Ye Bushou!
As soon as the cavalry stood firm, an officer immediately rushed out and shouted: "My troops have been assembled, please give instructions!"
Liu Haojia immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the team has been assembled. Do you want to start the review now?"
Emperor Wanli said in surprise: "Didn't you say drill? Why did it change to review again?"
Liu Haojia hurriedly explained: "No changes! The exercise is after the review! Now let His Majesty and others take a look at the military appearance before conducting live-fire exercises!"
Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "Okay, let's start the military parade!"
Liu Haojia agreed and stood up, grabbed the red flag and waved it vigorously three times. When the officers below saw it, they immediately turned around. The first person he arrived at was Ye Bushou. When he arrived in front of the team, he turned his horse's head slightly and passed in front of each square array one by one!
When everyone on the general stage saw his arm shaking, they knew he was giving an order! So they all watched with bated breath, wanting to see how this military parade was different from previous military parades.
After the officer ran through all the teams, he stood firm at the bend on the left side of the commanding platform. Then he waved the flag in his hand, and then the phalanx that never closed at night took the lead in moving!
I saw those Ye Bushou bypassing all the phalanxes! When Tan Mo rushed to where the officer was standing, he heard the officer shout loudly: "Quick!"
Ye Bushou, who had just passed him, began to accelerate his horse, and for a while, the sound of horse hooves ticking could be heard! Everyone thought that these Ye Bu Shui were just horses galloping past, but suddenly they saw a Ye Bu Shui running in the front doing some fancy things!
I saw him suddenly take out his feet from the stirrups, put his hands on the horse's back and jump lightly! The man is already standing on the horse's back! Then he pulled out the long bow from his back and opened it, making a gesture of shooting arrows continuously!
At this time, Qi Jiguang quickly said to Emperor Wanli: "Your Majesty, look at this man's legs rising and falling with the rhythm of the war horse, but his upper body does not move. Only in this way can the arrows shot be stable and accurate! This shows that this man's riding skills are excellent. !”
His explanation voice was not quiet, and everyone on the general stage could hear it clearly, so they all looked attentively. Sure enough, they saw this man standing firmly on the horse with a T-step, and his upper body did not move. They couldn't help but let out a burst of admiration!
At this time, Ye Bushou, who was following behind him, also began to perform as hard as he could! Someone jumped off the left side of the war horse. After his feet touched the ground, he used the force to fly back and landed on the right side. After his feet touched the ground, he jumped back again! Just like this, he jumped over and over again on the war horse!
There are even people hiding directly under the horse's belly. At a glance, you would think it was an empty horse running! Some even perform handstands on horses! Some people got off the horse from the left side and climbed up the horse from the right side! And he danced his spear like a windmill! All kinds of tricks are displayed, which is dizzying for everyone to see!
After these Ye Buzai galloped past the front of the stage, the Ye Buzai behind did not do any special tricks. Instead, they raised their things and let the horses run past them one by one at a brisk pace.
