Chapter 108 Wheeled Artillery

(Grandma, the Internet was cut off at home, and there was no way to update it, so I had to run to the Internet cafe to send it! Depressed! It's a little late today, please forgive me!)

And enriching strength is not only a problem of recruiting soldiers and buying horses. Equipment, grain and armor must be solved. If you want to solve these things, you can't do it slowly by yourself. He must take down Li Jiazhuang and get it from him, but now is the best time. If you miss the village, there will be no store.

The roadside troops in Shaanxi are still paying attention to Gao Yingxiang's group. They can't take care of his Xing Tianjun for the time being. The officers and soldiers who can fight have no time to take care of it. Li Jiazhuang suffered this new defeat, and his strength is in a weak state. At this time, how long will he wait if he doesn't do it?

So Xiao Tianjian is currently making a tight arrangement for this, releasing news everywhere, collecting the exiles, and extorting the surrounding large households to provide him with grain to support him to complete this plan.

As a time traveler, Xiao Tianjian is very clear about the key to the success of things like the uprising. At the same time, he has also read a lot of things about Li Zicheng. He is very clear about the reason why Li Zicheng finally failed. He knows that as a force to rebel, the base is very critical.

It's not that he doesn't want to build a base that he can control, but because he has been analyzing this matter during this period. Although there are many people in Shaanxi, after years of military disasters, the foundation is very poor, and this is also the area that the court is most concerned about. There are too many awesome people in the army. If you want to It is basically impossible to establish a base that belongs to him in this area. As long as he has a little wings, he will immediately attract a large number of officers and troops to suppress him. At that time, there will be only one word of death, and there is no other possibility.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been full of holes in this era, Xiao Tianjian knows that the Ming Dynasty is far from exhausting its vitality, and the hundred-legged insects are dead and not stiff. In fact, at least the strength of the Rebels is far from shaking him, so now he can only develop his strength first and consider what to do in the future. What's the problem?

So anyway, the current pattern of Tianlongzhai and Liyang is too small and not suitable for him to be used as a base, so he will not waste energy in this place. If he can make as much as possible, he can quickly make a profit and create a team that belongs to him. In the future, even if he leaves here, he can have The power of protection.

After this battle, three hundred new recruits were immediately integrated into the combat team by Xiao Tianjian Department. After such a bloody baptism, these people can adapt to the blood of the battlefield. In the future, they don't have to worry too much that they will collapse in the battle. A general in history said that they did not pass the blood test. After all, a tested soldier can't become a qualified soldier, and only when the soldier is on the battlefield can he truly mature.

Although the training time of new recruits is still short and many subjects are not in place, Xiao Tianjian has no more time to train them slowly at present, and he can only let them grow up in battle. What's more, the power of his long gun phalanx and short soldiers has been tested many times. As long as he has not encountered a strong enemy, he wants It's really not easy to defeat his long gun array.

What's more, in addition to the long spearmen, he has also selected a group of knife and card player who dares to fight close. In addition to his javelin tactics, his melee ability is no longer worrying. In addition, he has also initially obtained some firearms and bird guns, formed a musketeer platoon, and initially obtained a certain With the long-range firepower and the five cannons, with such equipment quality, looking at these poles around, his Xing Tianjun is already very luxurious.

In terms of armor, he can't completely solve it for his subordinates at present. Although he has captured some of them after a few wars, and also made some with raw cowhide to obtain a batch of armor, these armors are basically cotton armor and leather armor. Some cotton armors are decorated with some iron pieces. Even if they are iron armor, they are different in different shapes. It is very mixed, and the number is less than a hundred sets, which is only enough for the officers and elites.

Therefore, when distributing these armors, he also thought a lot. Finally, based on the achievements of these two battles, he also used the armor as a reward and distributed them to those who dared to fight. These people were the bones of his Xingtian Army and deserved the best protection.

After his distribution, there is nothing to say about the big guys. Where are the combat achievements? Veterans kill many enemies and dare to use their lives. Naturally, there is no need to think about those who have no meritorious service.

Life depends on yourself. The more you are afraid of death, the faster you will die. Every veteran says so. If you want to live, you have to dare to work hard. With combat achievements, you can naturally get armor. When you go to battle, there is more protection. After this truth is repeatedly indoctrinated by Xiao Tianjian, you have got it. The recognition of the generals under his command.

Due to the increase in the number of artillery, Xiao Tianjian can finally form his own artillery team. For this reason, he specially transferred a group of recruits and handed them over to Huang Shengqiang. Each cannon is equipped with ten people and is responsible for carrying materials used in various artillery. Although the total number is a little large, Xiao Tianjian is not afraid of waste now. In addition to learning the artillery operation technology as a technical soldier who can obtain artillery in the future, these people are also equipped with a waist knife. If necessary, they can protect themselves. There is no need to send special knife players to protect them. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that Xiao Tianjian is not satisfied with the operation and transportation mode of these cannons. The tiger squat gun is just a light close-fire gun, which is similar to the mortar, but he is not satisfied with the transportation mode of the two Franco machines.

Although this medium-sized Fran machine equipped by the Ming army is sharp, the gun rack is very problematic. The march is loaded with a big car. When it is used, it has to be carried down and placed on the wooden four-edagonal frame gun rack. It is also cumbersome to adjust the shooting and aiming. The operation is very troublesome. The conversion of marching operations is also very complicated, and it will take a long time. Only then can the conversion of marching operations be completed. In the face of war, this is likely to miss the fighter. Such a thing is unacceptable to Xiao Tianjian.

After carefully observing these two flan machine guns, Xiao Tianjian found that the flan machine gun used by the Ming army is still reassuring in terms of casting quality. After all, this thing is not as good as ordinary gun and bird gun. It is the most important weapon of the country. The casting is cast by the Inner Palace War Bureau, and there is no problem in quality. The workmanship is also very rigorous and meticulous. There is no need to worry too much about the explosion accident, and the shape is also relatively standardized. There are gun ears on both sides of the gun barrel, which makes Xiao Tianjian very satisfied.

If there is a cannon ear, then there is room for transformation, so he immediately invited Jin Fuzi, pulled out several carpenters, and then personally drew a sketch and gave it to these carpenters, so that within three days, he could use the ruts, axles and other objects of the big car to transform it. Two new pairs of gun racks with wheels.

This kind of thing is not difficult for Xiao Tianjian, a traveler. After hearing and witnessing, he is still very familiar with the gun frame of the artillery. Designing a gun frame is a piece of cake for him.

After several carpenters looked at Xiao Tianjian's drawing paper, they began to do it without saying a word. This time, they seized a lot of big cars. After casually finding two strong carts and dismantling them, they used the solid wood they had at hand and started working overnight.

Xiao Tianjian originally requested three days, and this group of carpenters completed it in two days. Then, under the personal command of Xiao Tianjian, Huang Shengqiang, with his men and these carpenters, lifted the two Fran machine guns on the new gun car. The gun ears were just fixed on the supporting gun rack, which was fixed with iron bolts, a new kind of line. The military artillery was completed.

This kind of artillery vehicle modified by Xiao Tianjian is divided into two parts: the front and rear. The first half is the gun rack that reprints the cannon, and the second half is the ammunition truck loaded with ammunition. Without modifying the gun itself, it is just after changing the gun frame and slightly maintaining the gun body, the two Fran machine guns are immediately transformed. New, when operating again, Huang Shengqiang immediately found that it was much better.

The original Marching conversion was very troublesome. After this transformation, it was immediately much more convenient to use. When marching, the artillery car is hung on the ammunition car in front of it, and the ammunition car can be easily towed with two mules. In the face of the war, as long as the hook hanging on the gunpowder car is removed, the artillery As soon as you turn around, you can immediately switch to a combat state. Relying on the gunner, you can push into the position. After pulling the mule away, the ammunition truck will follow and quickly complete the battle preparation.

"My mother! Our hands are so awesome! This Fran machine has been changed by the palm plate. It's really easy to use! This is very convenient! If we pull it out to fight, if anyone is against us, if they don't play with the cannon, we will have fired long ago! Awesome! Awesome! That's awesome!

Go away and stand aside! Let me have a look, good boy! This is also much more convenient! If you put these two wooden wedges down, you don't have to worry that the gun rack will be overturned! This is also much more convenient for aiming!

Don't be stunned. Hurry up and see how to do this thing. In a couple of days, we will go to beat Mr. Li. If anyone is ashamed of me, let's see if I don't tear down your bones! Haha! What a good thing!"

Huang Shengqiang's gyro is dripping around these two new Fran machine guns. Look at this and that, with a group of newly assigned recruits who are familiar with the operation of these two Fran machine guns. Looking at these two gun cars, Huang Shengqiang's saliva flowed to his chin. In the face of Xiao Tianjian, it goes without saying, only It can be described as admirable five-body.

It turns out that they can not only fight, but also transform the cannon and car. What else does he not understand? Following this palm plate, he was energetic. Huang Shengqiang was a little excited at this time. He shouted at the new recruits under his hand and began to get familiar with it in a hurry.

Xiao Tianjian held his arms and looked at Huang Shengqiang as excited as chicken blood. He smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth and said to himself, "What is this?" There are a lot of things in Laozi! This is just a small test knife. If you have the strength in the future, the good things I can take out will make your guys even more eye-opening!

"Huang Shengqiang!" Xiao Tianjian shouted at Huang Shengqiang, who was a little excited at this moment.

"To!" When Huang Shengqiang heard Xiao Tianjian call him, he jumped up like a conditioned reflex. He had a standard upright movement. His hands hung straight on both sides of his legs, which was quite like a soldier. He couldn't see that this boy was just a tomb robber before. After rigorous practice, he had begun to The traces of soldiers have been branded.

"I'll give you these two cannons and give you two days to be familiar with the operation. Two days later, I want to see that you and your artillery team can be proficient in using this kind of Furan cannon. In addition, don't forget the three tiger squat guns. You should be able to use them as soon as possible! Did you hear me clearly?" Xiao Tianjian ordered him with his hands behind his back.

"Yes! Palm plate! Please don't worry about the plate! Even if the little one doesn't eat, drink or sleep, let these bastards learn to play with this thing!" Huang Shengqiang replied with an excited face, but as soon as the words fell, his face collapsed again.

Two days? It's only two days!" At this moment, he remembered that Xiao Tianjian only gave him two days.

"Hmm! Just two days! We don't have time to wait. Let Mr. Li be ready, and then we will be in trouble! Take advantage of him at this moment and kill him! I don't have time to delay you! Can it be done or not? Xiao Tianjian's expression became serious and he asked Huang Shengqiang again.

"Yes! The little one will try his best!" Although Huang Shengqiang followed Xiao Tianjian for a long time, he also figured out Xiao Tianjian's temper and knew that as long as he made up his mind, he could not change it, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
