Chapter 53 The Han people are terrible(2/2)
This thing is taller than a horse. Even if it lies down, it is enough to form an obvious obstacle. Coupled with the wooden frame on its back and the small furlong machine that rotates the gun mount, it is basically a simple city wall. The soldiers then lifted it off the camel's back.
ammunition box, and at the same time blocked the camel's ears and blocked its outward eyes. Then they pressed the rear of the Franchise down, took out the filled cartridges and quickly put them into the rear bomb bay, and then the gunner held the tail
The handle, began to aim at the sheep in front as the target, and completed the launch as quickly as possible.
This small flange machine has very little recoil and is inherently leaky.
On the back of a camel, it is just a push and a sudden shake. The camel's ears are blocked and the sound is quiet, and the outward eyes cannot be seen, so it only barks a few times without being affected at all.
The gunner pressed down the breech of the gun as quickly as possible.
The loader loads as quickly as possible.
Twenty seconds later, the second round of shells was fired.
Then press the breech of the gun again, complete the loading again, and fire again...
Ten cartridges per gun.
In just over a minute, four rounds of shooting were completed.
"This thing is indeed sharp. In a hasty encounter on the grassland, even if the enemy's cavalry comes and goes like the wind, they will eventually be defeated by our rapid-fire cannons."
Zhu Di looked with satisfaction at the flock of sheep that were set on fire by dozens of Franchise machines.
The poor sheep were littered with corpses.
"This is not enough. When your Ministry of Industry builds matchlocks, you can train a real firearms battalion, or it can be called a divine machine battalion. Thousands of soldiers each have a matchlock, and they fire in turn starting from a hundred steps. The infantry will no longer be afraid.
cavalry."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, this requires discipline.
The Ming army of this era happened to be the most disciplined army.
As for what tactics to give them...
The Spanish phalanx is actually enough to sweep the world.
"Even if the Ministry of Industry really builds it, it will have to be guarded by all the guards first. Xiao Wang doesn't know when it will be his turn."
Zhu Di said with a smile.
"Perhaps Your Majesty can apply to His Majesty for me to teach craftsmen how to make things here?"
Yang Feng said.
"This is not necessary."
Zhu Di said.
Then it has nothing to do with Yang Feng.
By this time, all ten cartridges of those Franchise machines had been filled.
There was no second round.
This is just a demonstration, and in actual small-scale encounters, ten preloaded cartridges are enough. Large-scale battles are another matter. If it were a large-scale battle, it would be impossible to use such a small Franchise machine.
The infantry's big French machine is really used in the war.
"Ambassador Yang, in fact, this thing is not difficult to break. Let the soldiers wear heavy armor and push the shield cart, which is enough to block the shotguns you mentioned. As long as the shield cart can be pushed to the front, the rest depends on the bravery of the soldiers.
Although rapid-fire cannons are fast, they are still far inferior to bows and arrows."
Zhang Fu said.
He is very prescient.
"But does Ming Dynasty have such enemies now?"
Yang Feng said.
"That's true."
Zhang Fu said.
Ming Dynasty indeed has no such enemies!
