Zhao Bing knew that the metal body-barred cannons in history appeared in the Song and Yuan dynasties, but some people said that the cannons were clearly understood by the Han people, and the "spinning musket" is a proof. ΩΔ pen      『Quge Ww     W.

CN He had seen the sudden musket after coming to this era, but the thing used to hurt people unless it collapses directly on the face, it can only scare people. He looked at the "Three-Eyed Gun" popular in the Ming Dynasty. There are currently some sayings about cannons, but any weapon that is related to gunpowder can be called this, not the artillery that later generations call it.

But today he was actually shot. According to what he saw, Zhao Bing judged that the murderous weapon that had been rampant for eight hundred years had appeared. You should know that the gangway of the dragon boat was made of four layers of hardwood, and was covered with raw cowhide in order to set fire. In addition, the warships of the Brave Army were all new ships equipped last year. Not to mention ordinary crossbows, even small crossbows were difficult to penetrate. But today, the Danwei was actually punched a hole. Can he not be shocked?

"Your Majesty, the enemy has fired again!" Just when Zhao Bing was unable to confirm, Guan Tongshou reported again.

"Yes, it's this guy!" Zhao Bing quickly picked up the telescope and looked at the west bank. He saw a fire flashing on a slope by the river, followed by a muffled sound, and smoke of gunpowder rose. Then with a "pop" sound, a heavy object landed on the river outside their fleet, splashing water. Although he couldn't see clearly what was shooting, he could determine that it was the cannons shooting based on various signs.

"Turn now and drive on the east coast!" Zhao Bing didn't want to be the first emperor in history to be killed by a real artillery, so he ordered a way to avoid the road.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Do you want to fight back?" Liu Meng agreed and asked again.

"No need!" Zhao Bing shook his head. He had already seen that the Yuan army's artillery range was limited. They were traveling at most 150 steps from the other side of the river, with a range of only less than 200 meters. Their accuracy was very poor. Most of the hits just now were missed.

"Ni Liang, please ask Zheng Yong to bring a few water ghosts to sneak over tonight to get one for me!" As Zhao Bing expected, there were a series of cannons there. Zhao Bing judged that there were about five to six cannons based on the position of the flash. He was curious about how the cannon had reached at this time, so he thought that someone would steal it back and study it.

"Well, I understand!" Ni Liang knew that His Majesty liked strange things, so he fell in love with the Tartars again, and nodded.

"Oh, it's really a sight to see flowers in the fog!" In the previous life's statement, China understood that black gunpowder was used in military affairs and metal-body gunpowder, but now it's not the case. The cannon first appeared in the hands of the Mongolians. Zhao Bing thought that it might have brought gunpowder to the West as the Mongols expeditions in the West and captured a large number of craftsmen. Perhaps it was them or they who jointly developed the original cannon with craftsmen from the East.

So the truth is probably just like what some people say that war destroys civilization while promoting the integration of civilizations. In a broad sense, the Yuan Dynasty was also a dynasty in Chinese history, not outsiders. Zhao Bing thought that it was all Chinese people who knew it anyway, so why bother to worry about whether it was Song or Yuan? However, after their course deviated from the heart of the river, the Yuan army's shells could not be further shot. This also shows that the artillery technology is still very immature, and the firing range and power are not as good as the crossbows, and it cannot be overcome in a short period of time, but it still made Zhao Bing feel the crisis, and he must also develop metal artillery...

The warships walked along Jinjiang to the outside of the moat in Beicheng, Quanzhou. A soldier from the front army had already reported to the commander Huang Xianyao. As soon as the ship was docked, he personally led his troops to pick him up and welcomed His Majesty into the camp. Zhao Bing walked and looked at it. After seven or eight days of uninterrupted construction, the fortifications had begun to take shape. River water had been introduced into the outer trenches, and city walls were built along the trenches. A bunker with a roof was built every other section, and a crossbow cannon was arranged inside. It could station troops on weekdays and a fire support point was the war. Later, two lines of defense were built, equipped with heavy crossbow cannons, one was to strengthen the depth of defense, and the other was to support front-line combat.

After inspection, Zhao Bing was generally very satisfied. When he established the General Administration Army, he deliberately strengthened the construction of the navy for realistic reasons. After arriving in Qiongzhou, he vigorously promoted the navy to have strong attack power. The infantry army was positioned as a defensive army, mainly used to prevent the enemy from boarding the enemy, rather than siege the city and plundering the land. Therefore, their training was also a focus on defense and counterattack, and building a base was a must-trained subject.

Zhao Bing is just a military enthusiast. It is definitely impossible to let him create a defense system based on his situation, but he can "counterfeit". Speaking of defensive operations, in addition to the ancient Chinese city-building technology, he also knew that a foreigner who combined the crossbows and field fortifications to create a new tactic. The infantry system created by Zhao Bing was derived from his military ideas and could be regarded as a combination of Western military technology.

Zhao Bing thought that since Caesar, Septimus Sephreui may be called the most capable and capable commander of the ancient Romans. He was extremely proficient in the use of field defense fortifications and could use mobile combat machinery on the battlefield - catapults and stone throwers. During his reign, the standing army of ancient Rome increased to forty legions in the early 3rd century AD. He always maintained thirty-four ordnance factories, busy producing various weapons and equipment, especially small combat machinery.

However, Septimus Severus and Zhao Bing faced the same problem at that time. The small catapult had a low in the inlet and could only be used to kill the enemy. Therefore, it was difficult to resist the enemy's charge by relying on the small catapult alone. Even the most powerful stone-throwing machine had only a small amount of bullet energy except for the force generated by the weight of the bullet body when it fell freely, and it was almost impossible to break through the solid city walls and fortifications of the ancient and medieval times.

However, he has now deployed small catapults in defensive positions along the border of the Empire, but has achieved very obvious results. Heavy stone throwers are very effective when dealing with enemy infantry and machinery in offensive and defensive operations. During attack, stone throwers and catapults can make it difficult for defending troops on the city wall to move, so that the siege rams, siege towers and ladders can be set up under their fire cover; during defense, they can also seriously interfere with the enemy's siege operations.
