Chapter 199: The Murder Weapon
was attacked by a small force sent by Chen Xin, not only lost thousands of cavalry, but also the trench that had been dug for almost half a month was also blown up. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In less than an hour, the entire trench was flooded, and the Houjin army, which had ineffective water supply and drainage measures, directly lost the possibility of continuing to attack from here.
Annoyed and angry, Sukh Saha immediately ordered the army to launch one round after another, with the Jurchen cavalry as the supervising team, the servant army as the main combat force, and the captured slaves as the vanguard cannon fodder.
The enemy attacked like a sea of mountains, and all kinds of firearms inside the fortress were constantly bombarded, but the Houjin army, which had been fighting for more than a month, had also summed up a lot of experience, and their offensive queue would no longer be crowded together, but like waves of the sea, leaving enough space in the middle.
In the past, the heavy artillery of the navy bombarded it, even if it was Xie Tie bullet, it could crush at least dozens of people along the way, but now, solid bullets can only smash a column of less than 4 people.
10 catties of iron for 4 people, this business is really a loss, so, the current No. 1 fortress, the protagonist is the infantry artillery, the navy heavy artillery occasionally sends a scattered bomb, but it is tedious and meticulous work such as clearing, charging, etc., and the firing speed is really not able to improve, so it can only regrettably retreat to the second line.
When the battle was at its most intense, there were even stray bullets and arrows from the enemy army that shot into the observation room of the tower, which shocked the big cat and Han Da immediately came up and protected Chen Xin with their bodies.
Chen Xin is not a person who does not know what to do, he knows that the two of them are also for their own good, they really care about themselves, so they have this kind of behavior, but Chen Xin will never allow himself to hide behind his brothers, let them block bullets for himself, and with Lao Bai, the trajectory of any stray arrow has been observed, and when there is a threat to himself, Lao Bai will sound an alarm, and with his own skills, he can completely dodge.
Therefore, Chen Xin exerted his strength and pulled the two aside.
"Don't worry, the ammunition that can kill my Chen Xin hasn't been made yet. You two don't interfere with me. ”
Looking at the reverent eyes of the staff officers and guards around him, Chen Xinxin gave himself a thumbs up with satisfaction, "This wave, pretending to be able to score full marks." ”
Turning his gaze back to the front line of the battle, Chen Xin looked at the 1st Squadron in front of him, which was in a dilemma of not having enough copper bullets because of the high firing speed, and fell into deep thought.
During World War II, the ammunition of a base of bolt-action rifles was about 120 rounds, but at that time, all the ammunition used was 7.92mm, 7.7mm, 7.62mm, 6.5mm and other calibers, which was far smaller than the 18.5mm caliber ammunition used by the side now.
In later generations, 120 rounds were carried by a single soldier, and 60 rounds were already overweight with body armor, and now after a battle, the fixed pointed bullets that can kill the enemy at a distance of 400 meters have been completely used up, and the four-year rifle with advanced design can only temporarily use the same round lead bullet as the two-year arquebus, which is a great waste of such a good design.
But fortunately, at least these four-year rifles can still be used now, if the rifling is pulled, now there is no special ammunition, but it will become a burning stick, you know, rifled guns are completely unusable with those round lead bullets.
"This problem should be paid attention to, in case there is a war in the field and Houjin in the future, and there is no fixed ammunition, wouldn't it be necessary to exchange lives with Houjin's cavalry?"
Chen Xin was thinking about the problem, and the battle below became more and more intense.
When each wave of the enemy rushes to the 100-meter range of the Xuan army, that is, when they suffer heavy casualties, this is the key line of the Xuan army, and most of the firepower will be invested in this place.
Seeing that the enemy did not stop wave after wave, and the Houjin army in this position also gathered more and more, and the more people there were, the more courageous they became, these people slowly began to shoot at the Xuan army on this line.
Although the soldiers of the Xuan Army are wearing armor and hiding in fences and sandbags, some enemies have very good archery skills, and they can actually come in from the shooting ** and kill and injure the Xuan soldiers who shoot behind.
There are also some dense lead bullets, occasionally shot into the fortress, Xuanjun's own made birdshots, although the caliber is only 9mm, but the material is solid, after being loaded with gunpowder, at a distance of 100 meters, hit the Xuanjun militia iron frame, can also cause damage, this time, it can be regarded as self-inflicted evil.
The slowly accumulating casualties of the Xuan army caught Chen Xin's attention, and after a careful search, he found the increasing number of soldiers outside the 100-meter cordon, and they immediately lay down after each launch, and then leaned back and began to reload the bird guns.
The bird gun needs to be loaded from the front, even if you stand up, the fastest speed can only be 2 rounds in 1 minute, after lying down, it is more troublesome to reload, 3.4 minutes to load, compact the gunpowder, although the speed is slow, but it is very safe to do so, I didn't see the dead Houjin soldiers in front of me have been able to pile up into a short bunker.
Looking at these soldiers, shooting their own soldiers by chance with such a slippery and hands-free method, Chen Xin was angry, but now there are no pointed bullets, even a special shooter can't use a round lead bullet to solve the soldier oil with a slippery head more than 100 meters away.
Looking at the few Houjin soldiers who were more than 100 meters away with a smile on their faces, Chen Xin snorted coldly, without a first-class shooter, wouldn't he have any other means? You're rejoicing too soon.
Roared, "Where is the Tiger Camp?" ”
"The tiger is here." More than 500 people from the Tiger Battalion, which had been acting as a reserve, responded at the same time, and the sound shook all over the world.
"Join the warband, and use the bow in your hands to announce the existence of the tiger to the world."
"Yes."
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben battalion are enthusiastic, and many of their comrades-in-arms are constantly being sent to various units as officers, political commissars, and local administrative officials.
However, the Tiger Battalion, as the hardest fist of the Xuan Army, has always been hidden by Chen Xin, and has never gone out to fight in an organized manner. Even when I went to the southern administrative region to fight against encirclement and suppression in the past, I shot it with a bazooka, and the final result was still not announced.
Now, the general has finally agreed to their organized move.
500 tiger ben suppressed the excitement in their hearts, began to hang strings to the strong bow, the stronger the bow, the more it needs to be maintained, and the long-term bending will cause the bow handle to lose its elasticity, so when there is no combat mission in peacetime, the bowstring is removed and preserved, especially the 300 catties of tensile strong bows used by the tiger ben, which is definitely the best in this era, and it should be cherished.
These powerful killing weapons, under the powerful power of the tigers, can shoot dozens of arrows in a row, and the rate of fire far exceeds the various firearms that you want to be in.
