Fu Yan held up the binoculars handed over by the guards, and looked at the various tragic fates of the soldiers of the Houjin Army inside the cave of the city gate, as well as the miserable scenes on the surrounding city walls.

In fact, it has long been said that in the sequence of the Huaxia Army, except for the initial Xuan Army period, the Huaxia Army was equipped with rockets on a large scale because of the lack of firepower of the front-loading gun, and the Huaxia Army in the later period really did not care too much about the weapon of rockets.

You know, although the rocket has a very high firepower density, it also has huge flaws.

There are big problems both in terms of the accuracy of shooting and in the range of rockets, and they are all big problems that cannot be solved by current technical means.

Just like the Ming army, rockets are a very commonly used weapon in the Ming army, and in the Ming army, rocket-related weapons have at least a swarm of bees, hundreds of tigers rushing arrows, divine fire crows, and so on.

These are all very portable, and in addition, there is a kind of rocket vehicle with a one-wheel structure similar to the rocket car in the current experiment of the Huaxia Army, which can carry more than 160 rockets.

When these weapons are fired in a salvo, the firepower density and power are not small, but judging from the battle reports and intelligence of the Ming army sorted out from all sides, the Chinese military really rarely has any outstanding performance when they use these weapons against the Houjin Tartar troops, and even they are not even qualified.

In the previous days of the Huaxia Army, it was also affected by the achievements of the Ming Army, coupled with the various drawbacks of the experimental rockets, and the establishment of rockets was slowly withdrawn.

Fu Yan really didn't expect that the rocket car made by his own military industrial unit was only used for experiments, and the power was so heartbreaking and shocking.

Fu Yan dragged his chin and thought slowly, "It seems that in addition to the different qualities of the users, the rigor in the rocket manufacturing process also has a huge impact on the power of the rocket." ”

At this time, Zachdan also said with a smile to Fu Yan, "Xiaofu, from your point of view, how is this rocket car that our army is experimenting with now?" ”

Fu Yan still opened his mouth wide, and after a while, after sorting out his thoughts, he shook his head lightly and said, "This rocket car is really powerful, my subordinates really didn't expect that when fighting at close range, rockets would have such a huge effect."

The subordinates still remember that in the early years, when the infantry was equipped with bazookas, our army did relevant shooting tests, but the final result was that when the rocket was used at close range, it did not complete the acceleration, and its lethality was not high.

And when the enemy is about 150 meters away from the rocket, the rocket launches the most powerful and can even penetrate the chain mail.

However, even if the rocket is used at the most powerful distance, it is still not enough to deal with the iron armor.

The final conclusion was that a large salvo of rockets could throw the enemy's array into disarray, and the rockets could only be used as a harassing weapon most of the time.

Therefore, after our army was equipped with rifles with a range of more than 200 meters, the establishment of bazookas was slowly withdrawn.

However, judging from the situation that the rocket car is used in the cave of the city gate today, it is indeed ······ The power of this rocket car is indeed very great.

However, from the perspective of his subordinates, the role of the rocket is not to shoot the dead enemy, looking at the scene inside the city gate over there, the subordinates think that no one will have the courage to continue charging after seeing this scene.

The role of the rocket is to deter the enemy to the greatest extent, delay the pace of the enemy's charge, and make it crowd on the narrow charging road.

The subordinates believed that most of the soldiers of the Houjin Army in the cave of the city gate were killed by the rapid fire of the infantry artillery and the volley of rifles. ”

Zachdan smiled and patted Fu Yan's shoulder and said, "When the artillery officer made a report, I thought it was a waste of money, but in the end, the king personally made the decision and agreed to the appropriation." I didn't think of the battle at all.

After seeing the rapid fire of a rocket car, I was really looking forward to the scene when all the rocket cars in the heavy weapons platoon fired a salvo at the enemy together.

However, now this kind of rocket car is only in the experimental and demonstration stage, and only one small army workshop is manufacturing, so the manufacture of this kind of rocket and arrow is quite difficult, and we had better save a little bit and use it again when the Jin Army charges again next time. ”

Fu Yan subconsciously licked his somewhat dry lips, and suggested to Zachdan, "Commander-in-chief, why don't you report to the king and apply for more rocket quotas for the artillery sequence?" Or, how about simply re-equipping the infantry with rockets as well? ”

Zachdan smiled and nodded in confirmation, "Of course we have to make a report, but our infantry is not in a hurry, and now the artillery can temporarily meet the needs of artillery for self-defense and even temporary topping the front line."

But we can't be satisfied with this, if the infantry wants to equip rockets again, they must make more in-depth improvements to this rocket vehicle. ”

"More in-depth improvements? How else can this rocket car be changed? Isn't it similar to the original bazooka? ”

At this moment, a series of question marks appeared on Fu Yan's brain, whether he was studying on Wutang Road or officially entering the stage of military service, the rockets he saw looked the same, and there was almost no big difference from ordinary feather arrows.

"Yes, it is necessary to make great improvements, whether it is the shape of the arrows, the style of the arrows, the material of the arrows, and so on, all of them must be improved, and only when they can cooperate with the vast number of infantry units of our army can they be equipped on a large scale again. Haha, when the time comes, General Ben must give Houjin Tartar a good look. ”

After throwing down these words, Zachdan quickly rode his horse and galloped down the mountain.

"The shape of the arrow? The style of the arrow? What is the material of the shaft? How do you want to change so many things?

The style of the arrow should be changed, but it is better to understand a little, I heard that the military industry has accumulated a lot of experience in this area.

But the style of arrows, aren't all arrows the same? What other styles could there be?

Also, the material has to be changed? Is it necessary to change the wooden pole to an iron pole? Can you still fly? ”

Fu Yan was puzzled, grabbed his scalp vigorously, and then under the reminder of the guard, he turned over and quickly followed Zachdan
