Iron Dynasty

"Field artillery?"

Chen Qi's expression became serious, and now Xiao Ming personally came and said that this must be the Qingzhou Army's use of this field gun soon. Eight? One Chinese?? Network W≤W≈W=. ≤8≈1ZW. COM

This time he saw the Dutch towed field guns in Dengzhou, and he understood that he was still behind Europe in terms of military technology, because the field guns used by the Dutch were basically the same as the contemporary Napoleonic field guns.

At this point in time, weapons similar to Napoleon’s field artillery appeared, which is enough to prove that Europe’s technology in this time and space has surpassed the contemporary time of 57 or 57 years.

There is basically not much difference between this and his judgment. If so, he must settle down and catch up. After all, Europe is the overall progress of society, and his current progress is only stuck in a few workshops in Qingzhou.

"Yes, field artillery, and Napoleon field artillery, I think you have seen it in textbooks. There are two types of Napoleonic artillery, twelve-pounder and six-pounder, of which twelve-pounder is used to attack the city. , And the six-pounder gun was used in the battle between the two armies." Xiao Ming reminded.

Chen Qi nodded, "Xiaguan remembers that the six-pound field gun has a body length of 1.52 meters, a caliber of 93 mm, a weight of 389 kg, and a 12-pound field gun with a body length of 1.6 meters. It measures 117 millimeters and weighs 556 kilograms. However, your Highness, this Napoleon field gun is all bronze cast. Such a field gun can even withstand the power of double explosives. Should we also use bronze casting?"

"Qian Dafu has a copper mine in the northwest of Qingzhou City. So now we have enough copper to make field guns. However, the number of field guns is not large. This king is willing. After all, field guns are wading through mountains and rivers and require high quality. In three months After that, the king needs 30 six-pound field guns and 20 twelve-pound field guns."

Chen Qi pondered: "In this case, we need to recast the iron mold, and we also need to make a trailer."

"That's basically good. This king brought you the structure diagram of the Napoleon cannon. It is not a problem to make the Napoleon cannon with your current technology." Xiao Ming said.

After receiving Xiao Ming's structure drawing, Chen Qi looked at it repeatedly, and this time the structure drawing is more detailed than the textbook.

It wasn't Xiao Ming who was clumsy. He just adopted the method of modern textbooks, only teaching basic knowledge, but he did not post the real field artillery structure diagram on the textbook.

After all, if you write in too much detail, it is tantamount to leaking secrets. This is because everyone in modern times knows that nuclear weapons release energy through fission, but not everyone can create an atomic bomb.

After all, textbooks are textbooks, but they are not technical materials after all.

"It's okay now." Xiao Ming laughed. Sometimes it is not lack of technology but lack of creativity. Now Chen Qi has a comprehensive understanding of the structure of field guns, and the current iron mold casting technology is sufficient to produce Napoleon field guns.

In the manufacturing process, the main point is the structure of the trailer. Now that he provides the specific structure of the trailer, the problem does not exist.

Chen Qi studied for a while and praised: "This trailer is really wonderful. It can not only allow the field gun to maneuver under the horse's towing, but also bear the artillery mount. This downward bending structure can resist the ground and make the artillery. There will be no large displacement due to shooting, this time it’s okay."

Chen Qi suddenly realized that Xiao Ming was relieved immediately. He said: "Now you make iron molds first, and start to try production when the copper arrives. This field gun is not only to deal with the Dutch, but also to deal with Barbarian."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chen Qi's expression was solemn.

Now that the handover of the naval gun is over, the mortar cannon's experiment is complete, and it can be put into production. He has plenty of time to study field guns.

After confessing this incident, Xiao Ming's mood was relaxed. Wang Xuan's message said that the Dutch had built a bastion in Ryukyu. If there were no field guns, his army would inevitably cause a lot of casualties. Now The problem is different.

By the time Xiao Ming asked the military workshop to produce field guns, the Dutch fleet had already arrived in Ryukyu.

The fleet docked at the pier, and Claire and Rod headed to the city of Geranj, not far from the pier, which was the city they built in Ryukyu.

Claire had a gloomy face along the way, obviously thinking about a very important thing, and Rod's face was also extremely ugly. After they retreated from Dengzhou, the enemy fleet did not chase him.

But the opposing team's powerful fleet is still lingering in their hearts, because they have lost their confidence in the sea where they are most proud.

After walking ten miles to the shore, a typical European bastion building appeared before their eyes.

Since the occupation of Ryukyu 30 years ago, this bastion has intimidated the local indigenous people to build it for them. The construction of the bastion took five years. At this time, a huge bastion two miles long and wide, the whole bastion shaped like A five-pointed star, with a fort on each corner, and the edges and corners can shoot at each other for protection.

"The earl is back." With a trumpet from the city, the iron gate of the bastion slowly opened.

The Dutch soldiers guarding the bastion saluted Claire.

In the bastion, some local indigenous people with black heads and yellow skin, but slightly black and thin, are carrying rice. Since they occupied Ryukyu, they have asked the local indigenous people to grow rice and sugar cane.

And these two are the commodities they sell to Europe.

"Earl Claire, you have to make an idea now, what should we do now?" Rod said.

Claire has a sullen face~www.ltnovel.com~ What else can I do? Should you surrender to this king of Qi and accept their terms? "

"Now the soldiers are very scared. We are too far away from our hometown, and the enemy is too strong. This king Qi not only has a powerful fleet but also soldiers equipped with flintlocks. They have artillery in the city. Perhaps our weapons More advanced than them, but with the number of people we can’t win, especially if the fleet cannot protect us, I will be trapped here.”

"Coward, are you ready to escape now?" Claire said contemptuously.

Rhodes argued: "It's not that I am afraid, but that we must find reinforcements now, otherwise we are not the opponent of the Qi king. Now we should ask the British for help. In any case, we are all Europeans."

"Really? To find another villain to drive away one villain?" Claire became more dissatisfied. "Rod, you must be frightened. You'd better go back and rest now."

Rod knew that Claire was driving people, and he said, "Count, I hope you think about it carefully."
