Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 495 rockets wash the ground

The reason why Wanyan Zongwang was flustered was very simple, mainly because he had suffered too much.

During the repeated tug-of-war in the previous half a month, one of them had developed a conditioned reflex under Hu Biao's endless methods.

Every time I encountered a new method that I had never seen before, it proved to be something terrible afterwards.

So after seeing that sky-scurrying monkey soaring into the sky, and then the explosion, I couldn't help but feel flustered instinctively.

No matter what Wanyan Zongwang thinks, he doesn't think that Hu Yitong still has any trump card now, and he still trembled at that time.

Then, there is always a feeling that something bad is about to happen.

But then again, it's quite normal for the warehouse manager to feel flustered after seeing such a movement.

It was mainly these 'Congreve rockets, which he had also come into contact with for the first time; in order not to arouse the alertness of the Jin people, he hadn't even done a test launch.

Therefore, at present, he can only follow an operation manual written by Lang Qing.

Holding a wooden stick to write and draw on the ground, I calculated a rough launch angle.

Then, after adjusting a few of them himself, he couldn't keep up with the work at all, so he could only ask other folks to follow the gourds, learn from the demonstrations he made, and start adjusting other rockets.

In such a process, did he miscalculate some data.

Those folks are adjusting according to the gourd painting, whether the adjusted launch angle is correct.

All of the above, even the warehouse manager himself, can only be said to be maybe, probably, maybe, almost, and should be correct; in short, there are too many uncertainties in it.

The key problem is that the warehouse manager knows the hit rate of this thing after it is launched, but it is related to the victory or defeat of this game.

In response to Hu Biao's requirement of at least 50% hit rate, after a guy fired it, he really didn't have any confidence.

But after the sky-drilling monkey exploded, all the peasants under him looked over.

In the end, Cang Guan gritted his teeth and muttered in his mouth:
"What the hell! No matter, the sky is above and the soil is the evidence. I am willing to pay the price of Hu Biao, who has been single for 30 years, in exchange for this wave of rockets with a hit rate of more than 50%."

After sacrificing Hu Biao, Cangguan finally roared:

"Attention everyone, light the fire and shoot the fuck~"

Under such an order, the civilian husbands who had been holding a lighted torch for a long time, immediately used the torch in their hands, stretched towards the strange iron pipes in front of them, and a thick fuse behind their buttocks.

That's right!In the eyes of all the folks, these Laozi rockets are really weird.

Specifically, it is a metal tube with a pointed head, three feet long, and a thick bowl mouth; in addition to the back of the metal tube, there is a wooden pole more than ten feet long.

At first glance, it looks like an oversized sky-swapping monkey.

The only difference from the Sky-Changing Monkey is that there are three triangular pieces of iron inlaid on the bottom of the iron pipe and the wooden stick respectively.

Now when it is ready to launch, it is placed on a wooden frame. The so-called adjustment of the launch angle is to move a wooden pole supporting the iron tube.

The point supported by the wooden pole is closer to the front, so that the pointed head is shorter, and it is said that the shooting range is shorter.

If it is a little farther back and the pointed head is erected high, the shooting range will be longer.

Then for a group of civilian husbands, the problem came.

This kind of thing that looks like a joke, can it work?

If Lang Qing was heard such a question, he would definitely jump up; just kidding!This is a new type of rocket that has been improved by him, and it will definitely work.

Those iron pieces are like the tail fins of a rocket, the key to maintaining stability in the air.

In the iron tube, except for the second half, it contained propelling powder with a maximum range of ten miles.

In addition, in the first half of the warhead, 4 kg of granulated black powder was installed, plus 2 kg of fine steel balls.

Or 2 kilograms of oil that has been slightly withdrawn.

There are two types of anti-personnel grenades and incendiary bombs.

The only problem is that the accuracy and the current overall number are slightly worse, but as long as it hits, there is no need to doubt its power...

******
All in all, no matter what is said about the wolf blue version of 'Congreve'.

After being ignited almost at the same time, the 329 rockets that Hu Biao and the others had hoarded were fired one after another with an interval of three to four seconds.

They shoot a long line of flame behind their butts, and billows of white smoke.

Soaring up into the sky, it crossed the sky above Hu Biao and the others, and flew towards the golden man.

Even in the daytime, the scene of hundreds of flames drawing an arc in the air is still very clear and eye-catching.

Like a miracle, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

The difference is that after seeing such a scene, both the Song Xinjun and the Jinren immediately had completely different expressions of mood.

On the side of the new army, their morale skyrocketed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even the drums of those military musicians beat louder.

Hu Biao is even more so with his hands on his hips, sitting high on a steed horse, with a red cloak fluttering in the wind behind him, and hundreds of flames flying above his head and under the background.

I feel that at this moment, I am really a bit awesome.

Under the unspeakable soaring arrogance, he immediately wanted to chant a poem; it's a pity that this guy really doesn't have much ink in his stomach, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have a poem that fit the occasion.

In the end, all the pride, all turned into one sentence: "Fuck! It's awesome~"

But it was Jin Bing's side, after seeing such an incomprehensible scene, in the great panic, it seemed that even the soul began to tremble.

It's just that they don't wait for them to do anything at all, such as kneeling down, hiding, or running away.

These rockets with astonishing speeds have already landed on their heads one after another.

After all, even if black powder is used as a propellant, the propulsion force and speed produced are far inferior to the single-base and double-base propellants of the modern plane.

However, the resulting flight speed can reach 200 meters per second.

It is equivalent to saying that in just a few dozen seconds, part of it has already been taken for granted.

honestly!Even with the addition of two stabilizing delta wings, an improved version of the Congreve rocket like Langqing is still ridiculously accurate.

There were originally a total of 329 rockets, all of which were aimed at Wanyan Zongwang, and the Chinese army who was staying at the moment greeted them.

But in actual results, the locations where these rockets landed were scattered within a huge range of 7 to 12 miles from the launch point.

It fell everywhere, and there was absolutely no possibility of two rockets falling within a distance of 50 meters at the same time.

That poor accuracy can be described as silent and tearful.

And because of the backwardness of the fuze, some of the rockets exploded in the air with a "boom~" before they landed.

Fortunately, such a huge range happened to be within the range of the entire Jinren army attacking.

In addition, the Jin people thought that the muskets and artillery of the Song army had failed, so the formation was relatively tight.

It can be regarded as a crooked hit, and with a hit rate of almost 65%, it played an astonishing killing effect.

Every Congreve rocket hits the ground or explodes in the air.

If encountering a fragmentation grenade, the personnel and horses on the side will be lifted up like toys in the blast wave.

At the same time, under the dense splash of steel balls.

After hitting the target within a range of more than [-] meters around, the whole body was covered with tiny holes, and then fell down like a wooden stake.

If you encounter incendiary bombs, even because of the substandard fuzes, they explode in low altitude.

Immediately, there was a large area of ​​sparks, covering an area facing the boss below.

Although each of these sparks is not big, they can continue to burn even if they land on iron armor, let alone clothes and skin.

It will only continue to adhere to the skin and continue to burn, and the area will grow larger and faster.

Many golden soldiers instinctively slapped the flames with their palms at the first moment, and then they were horrified to find that their palms and more parts were burning.

In the end, they turned into a burning man, and under the pain that seemed to be burning their bones, they let out an extraordinary scream.

All of a sudden, in the huge golden men's charge formation, only the sound of explosions and the screams of various vehicles remained; under such a sudden blow, many golden soldiers survived, but they went crazy up.

According to such a rocket, a few can kill seven or eight people, and a lot can kill dozens of people.

In fact, in general, the final number of casualties caused by such a wave of Congreve rockets is about five to six thousand.

But in such a magical way, the huge movement that occurred in an instant caused a huge panic in the big formation of the Jin army.

Whether it's the operation of the warehouse manager or Hu Biao who was sacrificed, anyway, they have made meritorious service...

　The 8000 words have been updated and will be gone tonight.

　　I wish everyone a happy May Day, and I went out to drink too.
