"The long-range group listens to the order! Crossbow winding! ”

At the same time that the Jin army stepped on the 500-step marking, in the Tangchi Fort, inside the walls of gold and fire, a shout of shouts was heard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info also saw that the guards and soldiers hidden in the corridors inside the city wall had to wind up their weapons according to the order.

The long-range part of the defense of Lingbao is composed of three weapons, the first is the vertical bed crossbow that is already used by the tank troops today, using compound bow arms and a variety of matching arrows, and the killing range is within a distance of 100 to 1,000 steps, as for the accuracy, of course, the closer the more accurate, and the long-distance projectile depends on the personal experience and luck of the shooter.

The second weapon is the standard version of the Divine Arm Bow, with a range of between twenty and two hundred steps, although the Divine Arm Bow can shoot three hundred and fifty steps at the farthest, but Huang Jie set a rule during the training in Hebei, because every arrow is extremely extreme when defending the city, so the Divine Arm Bow can only hit targets within 200 steps at most, and it is even best to shoot at targets within 50 to 150 steps, there is no need to waste.

As for the third weapon, it is a "rocket" researched by Xue Xian, which is not a kind of rocket wrapped in cloth and glued with grease, but an explosive "rocket" filled with gunpowder or grease.

Since Huang Jie determined that the Ling family's father and son would focus on the Thor artillery system, and Xue Xian specialized in the research of auxiliary weapons such as "rockets", "grenades", and "mines", Xue Xian's achievements were also good, and this kind of rocket was a major invention of Xue Xian.

Xue Xian's "rocket" was named Xue's first and second according to convention, and the first type was also known as the "krait rocket", and the golden krait was chosen as the codename, because the flame spewed out from the tail of this rocket looked like a golden ring when it was cast, which was very beautiful and dazzling, and the warhead of the second type of rocket was mainly filled with fierce fire oil for ignition, so it was also called "fire dragon arrow".

Of course, it should be explained here that because Huang Jie not only saw it clearly in the strange dream, but also figured out the so-called "tube rocket" launch away without a teacher, Xue Xian's rocket was not launched with a bed crossbow, but directly placed in the launch tube.

Because it is still the first generation of products, the two types of Xue's rockets are standard size, eight feet long, four inches in diameter of the cylinder, the head and tail each have a pair of reversible balance wings, the warhead of the krait is loaded with ten catties of high-explosive gunpowder, loaded with a wall thickness of two (six millimeters) prefabricated fragmentation components, not only the head is equipped with a collision fuse, the rear and the place where the firing compartment is also equipped with a rigid pillar gunpowder fuze to ensure that each rocket can be detonated.

The fire dragon arrow is more complicated, and the weight of the warhead is still ten catties, but it is nine and a half catties of fierce fire oil, half a catty of gunpowder for hard columns, and the fierce fire oil is filled with a concave cylinder with a thickness of one point (three millimeters), and a gunpowder column is placed in the groove as a detonator, which can also be detonated by the impact fuse of the head and the ignition signal of the tail.

In particular, since the safety factor of this rocket is not high at this time, Huang Jie decided to use it for the defense of the city after careful consideration. After all, there will inevitably be some bumps and bumps in the process of long-distance marching, and it will not be fun if there is any accident, so he will deploy this new firearm that has not yet been tested in actual combat in Lingbao to see how effective it is.

Of course, it is used on the Lingbao, and the storage in peacetime is also to completely disassemble the rocket into parts for separate storage, and it will only be assembled in wartime. And this kind of rocket is not used to torture and kill miscellaneous soldiers, only when the enemy army uses large engineering weapons to launch an attack on Lingbao, can it be used to blow up and burn the enemy's combat equipment.

The melee function of Lingbao is relatively weak, because it is a closed design, there is no open platform for the enemy to log into, and there is no hole that can allow the enemy to drill into or enough for the enemy to drill into, so the defenders of Lingbao theoretically do not need to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

But even so, it couldn't stop Huang Jie from doing everything he could, so he had to use the chariot's melee weapon "Ruyi Stick" for the defense of Lingbao. As mentioned above, the so-called "wishful stick", that is, a spear mounted on the bottom of the chariot, is hidden in the belly of the chariot during wartime, and when the enemy forces approach the foot of the chariot and want to climb or attack, the spear will be suddenly pushed out and the enemy will be stabbed in the heart.

According to the statistics of the Imperial Chariot Army after many actual battles, after the enemy forces the chariot under the foot, the Ruyi stick is much more effective than the soldiers guarding the front of the chariot with knives and axes. Even in the latest Linqing interception battle, a car crew set a record of the bloodless defenders on the roof of the car, and all the enemy soldiers who came to attack were stabbed to death in front of the car wall by Ruyi sticks.

Therefore, how could Huang Jie not use such a guard weapon, and naturally designed a set of "Ruyi Stick" defense system for Lingbao.

The city wall of Lingbao is roughly divided into two layers, one is the foundation of the wall, which is naturally solid, and is about one zhang and two feet high. The other floor is hollow and divided into two floors, but instead of a closed mode, it is in the form of a half-floor (open floor), in which the fire group responsible for killing enemies approaching the bottom of the wall guards the lower level, and the long-range and melee teams fight on the upper level.

The tactics of the long-range shooting group have also been mentioned just now, and as for the melee group, they don't use a sword or a sword, and they are all in groups of three responsible for a ruyi stick that is one foot eight long. The length of the weapon is actually one zhang and eight inches, and here it is a full one zhang and eight feet (about six meters).

Among the three, one is the pole commander who is responsible for observing and commanding, and the two are auxiliary soldiers, who are mainly responsible for putting. In addition, in order to facilitate the killing of the enemy with the Ruyi stick, there are also a lot of fancy on the city wall, for example, although the top of the wall has become a slope, but it is still pretended to repair the female wall that looks the same as the ordinary city in appearance, so once the enemy has set up a long ladder to climb, there is no doubt that the ladder will be put on the groove of the opening, and the attack window of the Ruyi stick is naturally open impartially directly below the notch, and when the enemy climbs up the ladder, when he goes up to the predetermined position, It will be difficult to escape the sudden outstretched wishful stick and stab a heart-piercing cold.

And even if he escaped by luck and climbed up the groove smoothly, don't forget that behind the groove is a large slope with an angle of more than 30 degrees, not only is the slope built with a specially polished and polished bluestone slab with a very smooth surface, but also in wartime a layer of lard must be poured on it, and if you step on it unexpectedly, you will have to fall down 99 percent of the iron.
