Cannon Training
Chapter 81:Cannon Training
Every day such training will last for two or three hours, and when he is finished, he will return to the wall and continue to work.The man in the same dormitory signed up for the musket team, and now he has a brand new musket, standing behind himself to show off.If it had not been for the discipline’s demand not to fight, Vanner would have had to sew his mouth.
But he also saw something wrong.
How many days did the villagers who joined the musketeer train?Start the fight against the evil beast to hone the shooting skills, and the artillery team?Not even a single shot was fired.Moreover, so heavy artillery, it is impossible to transport on the wall.
Looking at the top of the wall, two people standing side by side almost filled the aisle, usually everyone is used to running on the slope inside the wall, even if it is steep, it is better than hindering teammates from doing stinging.As for the artillery... the two wheels of light are wider than the top of the wall, and it is also hard to shoot down, which is not very practical.
Is this not used against the beast?
The next exercise confirmed Vanner's conjecture.
Four artillery groups were taken to the river by the iron axe.He found that he did not know when there was a huge boat in the Red Water River!No... he wasn’t sure if it was a ship, and the shell looked no different from the stone that had built the walls, and was wide and short, except for two bare masts, where was the ship?For this reason, Vanner's group also argued.
"This is a pontoon bridge," the first conclusion is the grapefruit skin, he had followed the shipping sailing ship to the long song fortress, often boasting, "a few feet wide deck, obviously for stability!"I have gone south to see much more, if it is a boat, how to move without the wind?In the past, the river had oversaw the water and washed the wooden bridge in the fortress for more than ten years.The people in the city are replaced by pontoon bridges, making a pile of wide wooden boards nailed to the flat boat, and then pulling up the iron wires into a row, how to go how to stabilize!"
"The furthest place is the long song fortress, and you go south to the north," Rodney laughed, "the pontoon bridge needs to stand two masts, for fear of not being blown away by the wind?"
"And you look at the tail end, is it not the rudder wheel?"The pontoon bridge is not available for this.”Nelson helped the two brothers to be one of the nostrils, "the other middle wooden frame looks like a shed, but it is not finished yet."It's a ship, no doubt about it."
Vanner was not interested in whether it was a ship, and he only cared about the next training.The answer was soon revealed, and the Iron Axe asked them to catch the horses of the gun-carrying the town number—yes, the name of the ship, or the name of the prince himself.After listening to the introduction of the iron axe, the teak suddenly looked stiff, and the two brothers were proud - and then tied the gun wheels to the reserved bar.
There are two groups of such bars, four each, located on the central line of the deck, arranged one after the other.It is possible to carry two guns at a time.
Well, Vanner thought, it is certain that they are not dealing with evil beasts—the Redwater River flows from north to south, and there is no such spacious river in the enchanted forest.
The first time he stepped onto the deck, Vanner immediately felt its outstanding stability.The river flows with the hull, and the stone boat does not move, as if standing on the ground.Only when the horses are caught up will they feel a little swing.
He also noted that whenever a group of artillerymen completed a round of disembarkation exercises, the iron axe recorded the time.Contacting the bar on the deck, it seems that only two of the four groups can be used.Vanner secretly told the group members of the group, and everyone immediately held their strength, and each step used 10% of the strength.If you can't choose to be kicked back to the long gun team, the face can't be a small thing, and the raised salary is no big thing!
By the seventh day, Vanner had finally received his long-awaited live-fire training.
On this day, His Royal Highness also visited the scene to watch the artillery practice.None of the four groups raised their chests high and walked all over.
Because the pack of ammunition was well-trained, the first shot was soon fired by the Verna team.
It was also the first time he had seen the power of artillery.In the deafening roar, twice as many iron balls as fists fell in the snow, setting off a large area of snow and mud, and bouncing forward and flying far away.And his naked eye can't capture the trajectory of the iron ball.
This made Vanner vaguely afraid in the excitement, how did His Royal Highness the Prince make such a terrible weapon?If you face artillery attack, even if you have a full body armor package, I am afraid it will not help.
After each group firing round, His Royal Highness ordered a flag to be planted in the first landing position of the shell, and a rope from the flag to the muzzle position was intercepted.After four rounds, and again in Vanner's turn, he heard the command to change the angle of the muzzle.
At both ends of the barrel and the gun rack connected to the part of the frame has a scale of turntable, marked with 0, 5, 10, 25, 30 five scales, although not quite understand what this means, but according to the instructions to operate.The iron axe shouted, “Five shot!”The grapefruit skin with the greatest strength immediately pushed the gun into the barrel under the barrel, prying up the gun from the tail end, and Vanner reversed the screw on the frame until the first white engraving line entered the hole, and the grapefruit skin was loosened.
After the end of the barrel fell back, it was slightly shorter than the beginning, and the muzzle was raised up, indicating that the scale fell exactly on five words.
Then there are four rounds of shooting, flagpoles, intercepting ropes, adjusting the angle of shooting.
Vanner came to understand what the prince had done.
He was collecting the distance of each iron ball shot, and the greater the angle of the muzzle, the farther the iron ball landed.
This, Vanner had a deep understanding when using the bow, and when he was shot upwards, the arrow could shoot far away, and if it was flat, it would soon fall.I didn't expect the gun to be the same, just because it was fast, so the flight distance was much farther.He couldn't help but wonder, if the iron ball is fast to a certain extent, will it never fall?
