However, the gunners will also be skilled in multi-stage firing tactics, so that they will rush to the front and fire continuously, and they will always be shot by heavy projectiles.
If so, they can still rush to the front, and it’s time to protect the musketeers and attack the long gunners.
Before the firearms did not form an absolute advantage, the musketeers needed the protection of long-term musketeers, and they would take over the musketeers’ unfinished work and completely annihilate the destroyed enemy departments.
Can the broken army array bring any success to Song Jun?
Beside the soldiers, a roaring cannon is hitting the enemy rear army.
Behind the soldiers are smoky chimneys and whining steam locomotives, and their endless war materials are pushing them forward quickly.
A terrible war machine is rumbling at an unimaginable speed and sprinting forward to crush the ancient and decaying medieval empire into slag.
The dawn of industrial civilization will light up this ancient land, and it will be earth-shaking and completely changed with it.
Chapter 922 Formation of Firearms Forces
After returning to the palace, Su Yonglin ordered the relocation of coking workshops and iron smelting workshops outside the city, and at the same time ordered the selection of soldiers with high cultural level and strong physique from the army.
He doesn’t want to wait any longer. He wants to start preparing to form the first army with formal firearms immediately.
The former army also used firearms, such as trebuchets, to launch Raytheon guns, such as bed crossbows, to launch large rockets, but it was not an established firearms unit.
Like crossbowmen, artillery is also an obvious technical arm.
They need to master a series of professional skills such as firing guns, cleaning gun bodies, maintaining guns, etc. They are both combatants and logistics personnel, and they need strong professional and technical skills.
It obviously takes a long time to form a technical army. From this time, Su Yonglin set out to form an artillery unit.
First, more than 1,000 people were selected as high-quality soldiers from Yanyun Corps.
They were taken to the Firearms Bureau to watch the appearance and launch of the new artillery, understand the lethality of the artillery, and study the specific performance and parameters of the artillery together with the craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau.
They need to record these important parameters to facilitate the future evolution of artillery, the professional standard of arms.
Su Yonglin also participated in this process many times to discuss these issues with soldiers and craftsmen, and did not participate in the artillery formation process at all.
He even personally took charge of the first artillery unit and gave them orders to complete the transportation, placement, loading and launching process.
The cannon rumbled and shook the earth.
The most experimental wall has been smashed. Su Yonglin transferred the soldiers of Yanyun Corps and the craftsmen of Zhongdu to rebuild some experimental walls for artillery experiments in the north of the city.
There are the most common rammed earth walls and less brick walls, and Su Yonglin specially instructed them to make these walls with different engineering intensity 3.
Inferior rushing to work is not pure loess to build city walls.
There is also a very elaborate construction, which is stronger than the main material of the city wall, which makes the concrete type of Tongwancheng strong, and makes the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry think that it is too rough to do so. It would be better to equip some cities with such walls
However, Su Yonglin, the military, never skimps on investment.
The army cannot save.
If the army is deducted to save money, the provincial army will double into battlefield expenditure, which will bring unexpected disasters to the country and be difficult to make up for.
There is always some money that can’t be saved.
Let the artillery shoot different city walls from different angles and distances, and then observe the damage degree of the city walls, so as to judge from what angle and distance the artillery should shoot to achieve the best effect.
In order to achieve this goal, Su Yonglin probably spent ten walls and recorded several data, forcing Lin Jingchun to personally come to the scene to supervise the work and avoid waves.
Lin Jingchun couldn’t help it. This is because the army can’t save this truth. He is still white. Moreover, after several wars, the country’s fiscal revenue is quite rich. Now the treasury of the Ministry of Finance is quite rich, and it’s just ten experimental walls. It’s no big deal.
Yeah, it’s no big deal.
Lin Jingchun hypnotized himself into pretending to be unpreparedness, but he really didn’t look unpreparedness.
I feel that those guns fired iron bullets not at the wall but at his heart.
A large number of practical operations have greatly enhanced the professionalism of artillery, and a large number of data have increased the scientificity of shooting. Su Yonglin’s rigorous scientific attitude and the level of throwing money like a dog have pulled up the general artillery unit.
Not only was the artillery unit pulled up by Su Yonglin, but Su Yonglin also helped the Firearms Bureau to produce 200 muskets to form the first musket team.
The selecte large and high-quality soldiers were pul by Su Yonglin to that middle school of the military academy outside Zhongdu City, equipped with enough matchlock powder and iron, and practiced firing for a long time until their waist and knees were weak and their strength stopped.
Through the training of 200 people, Su Yonglin also summed up some key points of the formation and operation of the Musketeer Force.
For example, the problem of launch rate and launch safety can be solved by setting ammunition.
In the early days, the problem of muskets was the same as that of artillery. If there was less gunpowder, the power was not enough, and if there was more gunpowder, the chamber would explode.
It is really a good way to solve the problem that how much gunpowder can achieve the best shooting effect and then determine it by means of fixed ammunition.
