In 1627, Ding Mao, the seventh year of Ming Qi, the fifth year of Joseon Injo, and the first year of Jin Tiancong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the eighth day of the first lunar month of this year, Huang Taiji declared war on North Korea on four charges: "helping the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasties to invade our country", "harboring Mao Wenlong", "recruiting fugitives and stealing our place", and "no one paid congratulations when the first Khan returned to heaven".

Huang Taiji ordered Amin, Jilharang, Yue Tuo and others to lead the army to the east.

Different from history, at this time, the domestic food shortage in Jinjin was more serious, and Huang Taiji had to find a way to gather all the young and strong people in the country, in addition to some of them staying to guard against Mao Wenlong, and some of them went to the grassland Chahar Department to rob, and he personally led a part of it to the Guanning area, and also came to eat the enemy, completely diverting the domestic food crisis.

After a ceremony of slaughtering three animals and sacrificing flags, Niu Lu of Sukh Saha, as the vanguard of the whole army, took the lead in setting off.

The entire Niu Lu, which was comprehensively strengthened, totaled 400 regular soldiers, more than 800 dings, 500 coats, with more than 400 horses and 24 shield carts, with Daizi Chen Xin as the leader, and the brigade followed 300 paces apart.

Walking out of the Shenyang boundary, Chen Xin handed over the front team to the management of the big cat, ran back to the main force of Niulu, and stared at the two real guns that were temporarily distributed.

At this time, in the Later Jin Army, in addition to a special heavy artillery unit of 3,000 Han Chinese, one of the eight banners (5 Niu Lu) could be equipped with two real cannons - two small Franc machine guns.

The Furlong Cannon was an early reloader smoothbore cannon. It is composed of a mother and a child gun.

The female body is slender and has a small caliber, and the body is equipped with a front sight and a light door, which can aim and shoot at long-distance targets.

There are gun lugs on both sides of the gun body, which can be placed on the bracket and can be tilted to adjust the firing angle.

The back of the gun is thicker, and there are long holes and grooves for filling the guns.

The sub-guns are similar to the small firearms, each female gun is equipped with 5 to 9 sub-guns, which can be pre-loaded with ammunition for backup, and the mother guns can be loaded and fired in turn during battle, thus increasing the firing speed.

Chen Xin is from modern society, he has only seen it from the picture materials, where has he really seen this kind of antique thing, he looked up and down excitedly, and let Lao Bai scan it inside and out, touched this small cannon, and began to ask the Han army who operated the cannon about the details.

Chen Xin patted the cannon body and asked, "How much does this cannon weigh?" ”

A middle-aged man who looked like a gun commander replied respectfully, "If you go back to your lordship, if you don't count the gun carriage, it weighs 150 pounds." ”

Chen Xin gestured at the muzzle of the cannon again, "How big is the caliber?" ”

The cannon commander's forehead was a little sweaty, and Nuo Nuo said, "My lord, the slave doesn't know." ”

Picking up a rusty gun, he knocked on it, "How much gunpowder?" ”

The cannon commander's forehead sweated more, "It is estimated that there are 3 halves." ”

Looking at the "cannonballs" of irregular size loaded on the side of the car, Chen Xin then asked: "How much lead weighs?" ”

The gun commander was already sweating, "about 3 taels." ”

Chen Xin silently thought about the introduction of the later generations, Zi Gong is also known as the heart cannon, which is equivalent to the medicine room part of the artillery, it is a kind of gun barrel that is slightly thinner than the mother gun's body tube, and the mother gun's body tube together form a double cannon barrel.

After a few glances, he didn't see any other Zi Gong, so he then asked, "How many Zi Gong are there?" ”

The gun commander breathed a sigh of relief, "This cannon has 4 sub-guns, and the other gun has 5 sub-guns. ”

Looking at the cannon body and the gun that seemed to be poorly airtight, Chen Xin was curious, "How far can you hit?" ”

The gun commander proudly raised his chest under his sweat-soaked clothes, "The cannon can fly as far as a hundred feet." ”

"Baizhang? That's going to be boring, isn't it? What about the effective range? Chen Xin pursed his lips.

The gun commander returned to his sweating state, "My lord, the minions don't know what the effective range is. ”

"Uh, at what distance can you do this cannon, hit what you want to hit, and kill what you want to kill?"

This Han Jun was already soaked with questions, and at this time, he knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed, "My lord, the slave really doesn't know, you have a lot of adults, spare the small ones." ”

As he spoke, he cried faintly, "The slave has been operating for 10 years, and no official has ever come to ask so many things, and the slave's master really hasn't taught it." ”

Chen Xin was at a loss, and he didn't know where to put his embarrassed hand, didn't he just ask some questions? Why do you make people cry?

At this time, Suke Saha was already riding a horse and listening, looking at Chen Xin's cramped appearance, he also secretly laughed at this time.

But his subordinate Chen Xin was the officer he relied on the most, and it was not good for him to lose face too much, so he stepped forward and scolded him with a straight face, "Caspian Tiger, you are not allowed to leave your post without permission, and return to your team quickly." ”

Chen Xin gave a military salute gratefully, apologized to the Han soldier who was still wiping his tears, and ran away. The crowd who stayed to watch the excitement held back their laughter, and on weekdays, this Caspian Tiger was majestic, and it was rare that there was a time when they were embarrassed and at a loss.

However, this also shows that this Daiko is a kind-hearted person, otherwise if he changes to another officer, he will be beaten without whipping when he encounters this kind of thing, not to mention that the sea tiger here has always been known for his hot temper and outstanding force.

Chen Xin didn't know that he had left a "good-tempered" impression on everyone.

Returning to his team, Chen Xin coughed a little weakly, and privately glanced around with his residual eyes, everyone around him was holding a knife in one hand and leading a horse in the other, marching neatly according to the village, as if he didn't know what was happening behind him, Chen Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately resumed his posture.

By the time the camp was set out the next day, the sky had become gloomy, and thick dark clouds were pouring in from the horizon, and they seemed to be hanging down to the ground from a distance.

After a little further walk, in the howling cold wind, flakes of snow began to fall, and after a while, they turned to goose feather snow.

It was a good year, but for the marching team, it added some difficulties.

Chen Xin led his Mongolian horse with a heavy load, only to feel a chill on his body, and couldn't help but shiver.

Fortunately, Chen Xin had been prepared for this, and while giving the order, he took out the cotton armor from the horse and put it on his body, and everyone did the same.

Suddenly, there was a scene of slaughter in the whiteness.

Chen Xin sighed with emotion, "This cotton armor is really good, it can defend against swords and firearms, and it can keep out the cold." ”

Big cat interface: "Yes, it's fine, it's just too heavy, and the steel inside weighs about twenty or thirty pounds." ”

Chen Xin looked at everyone's somewhat struggling looks, and nodded approvingly, "That's right, it's really too heavy to wear when you're on the march." ”

While chatting casually, Chen Xin secretly thought to himself, "Shouldn't we learn the design concept of body armor in later generations and make the steel plate on the chest detachable?" In this way, you can also protect against the cold and defend against hidden arrows, and when you engage in battle, you can insert the steel plate into your chest, this method is good, you can try. ”
