The soldiers and horses of the Jurchen Eight Banners were all elsewhere at that time, and they didn't see it clearly, and the soldiers and horses of the Han Army Banner were forced by him to take the lead and face the cannon of the Huaxia Army.

It's a pity that these people are too incompetent, so many people and horses can't get close to the front of the Huaxia Army's position at all.

Even the few people who could rush closer, because they were very nervous on the battlefield at that time, they didn't have the careful observation that Yue Tuo himself observed.

If it weren't for that, there would be no need for him Yue Tuo to personally run all the way to such a trip. It would be nice to send a few representatives over to oversee Dolgon's movements.

It's a pity that even if Yue Tuo saw the infantry cannon of the Huaxia Army with his own eyes, he also miscalculated, the infantry cannon of the Huaxia Army is a special cannon steel, which is made under a 100-ton hydraulic press.

This kind of technology, which far exceeded any smelting level in the world at this time, made the weight of the infantry guns used by the Huaxia Army and the gun mounts controlled within 400 catties.

This kind of data is completely beyond the imagination of the people in the post-gold side, and the weight of 500 catties after throwing the gun rack is already the limit of their imagination.

After hearing what Shi Tingzhu and Yue Tuo said together, Dolgon reached out and touched the muzzle of the copper cannon, and said with a gloomy face, "I also saw their small cannon when it moved on the other side of the Daling River. Yue Tobel's estimate should not be wrong, the weight of the infantry cannon used by the Huaxia army will definitely not exceed 500 catties. These two small cannons are indeed a little too heavy. ”

The leader of the craftsmen in charge of the cannon-making work, that is, the leader of the craftsmen surnamed Wang, who was rewarded as a deputy general for his meritorious work in forging cannons earlier, has also been listening.

At this time, he was afraid that the masters present would be dissatisfied with his work, so he hurriedly stood up and respectfully explained to everyone.

"Master Rongyu, this cannon is a mold made before the battle of Fuzhou according to what the soldiers saw and heard, if the master feels that the size is not suitable, when the minions make the mold, it will be better to make it shorter and thinner. In short, the minions will definitely make a cannon that echoes the master's wishes. ”

Dolgon smiled calmly after hearing the words of the deputy general surnamed Wang, and then said, "Deputy General Wang, you boldly let it go, you are an expert in casting cannons, and in the past, the red-clothed cannons you cast were very good, and when facing the Ming army, you did not fall behind at all."

Moreover, the artillery we cast may not necessarily be exactly the same as the infantry artillery of the Huaxia Army, and no one dares to guarantee that it will be easy to use if you don't try it on the battlefield.

Maybe the two small bronze cannons we cast are better than the infantry guns of the Huaxia Army, maybe it's right?

Now, Ben Belle wondered, since these two cannons had been made, when would they be able to be equipped with Uzhen Chaoha? The current Huaxia Army is really too rampant, and we urgently need this kind of small cannon to make up for the combat power. ”

The deputy general surnamed Wang listened to Dolgon's words, and his mood relaxed slightly, since Dolgon didn't blame him, and once again put forward his previous credit, that is, he really didn't care too much about this difference in weight.

Since he was not blamed, he had no need to worry, and immediately focused entirely on the last thing Dorgon asked.

Dolgon, of course, knew that before a firearm could be newly equipped with troops, various experiments were required to determine the amount of charge, the weight of the projectile, the range of the firearm, the power of various different ammunition, and so on.

However, as a native of Houjin, he had no authority to say such a method as experimental statistics.

Moreover, the Houjin side did not capture any of the infantry guns of the Huaxia Army, which can be used to do relevant comparison work.

Therefore, the imitation work they are doing now is far more difficult than the imitation of the redcoat cannon in previous years. Even, it is even more difficult than imitating the general's cannon, because, when the general's cannon was imitated, they still have a physical object of the general's cannon in their hands, which can be used as a reference.

And now they are copying this kind of small cannon, all the data are completely from the oral descriptions of witnesses such as soldiers and generals on the battlefield.

Sometimes, the verbal descriptions they collected even had a lot of contradictions, and it was already a very good result that the imitation of the small cannon could be fifty percent similar.

The deputy general surnamed Wang has been in charge of the cannon casting work for more than two years, and now, having cast so many artillery, he can be regarded as half a firearms expert.

He clearly knew that just saying that a cannon can hit a few catties of cannons and the visual size of the cannon are far from explaining the true appearance of a cannon.

After a cannon is cast, it has to go through various measurements to calculate the maximum amount of charge it can withstand without exploding.

And below this maximum, there is how much medicine should be used at different distances, and how much gunpowder should be used for different projectile dosages, which need to be carefully calculated step by step.

He replied to Dolgon, "If you go back to Lord Belle, these two cannons are objects that my great golden pot has never used, and it is almost impossible to attack the city with such cannons, and any of the cannons erected on the head of the city have a much longer range than this small cannon."

And the biggest convenience of this small cannon is that it is lightweight, which can closely follow the foot soldiers to march together, and when it arrives at the place, it can be pushed and arranged everywhere on the battlefield at will.

This makes this kind of artillery completely used in field warfare, and in field warfare, scattered ammunition is the most practical. The amount of medicine and ammunition used in this small cannon all need to be re-measured.

For example, the size of the projectile is appropriate for the shotshot, the total number of shotshots is the best, the set of steps and the type of shell to hit, and so ······on.

All of these require calculations, experiments, and speculations, and all of them are time-consuming, and the minions estimate that they may not be able to complete this series of work in a month or two. ”

In fact, the establishment and quantity of a weapon, as well as the tactics it uses, will affect the combat effectiveness of such weapons. There are still many things that the deputy general surnamed Wang has not said.

Even with the help of Chen Xin's golden finger, the infantry artillery of the Huaxia Army took more than half a year from the completion of trial production to service.

Moreover, after the infantry artillery was equipped with the troops, the method of use was still constantly improved for a long time afterward. Then, the infantry artillery group must also be trained in coordination with the infantry formation, so that it can adopt different tactics and achieve different tactical objectives under different battlefield conditions.
