From Soldier To Emperor

The Southern Song Dynasty court changed its strategy. Before the matter of Yue Fei's command in charge reached the Ming Dynasty, Richard had already returned to the capital of Qiuci in the Western Regions.

On the campus in the outskirts of Qiuci, oddly shaped shelves were lined up, and a group of people were busy around.

With a cry of minus, these shelves were ignited by the soldiers, and then the rockets above skyrocketed, easily flying a full two kilometers away before landing and exploding!

What was in front of him was the Congreve rocket that had just been exchanged by Richard to see the actual combat effect.

【Congreve Rockets: A team of 6 people and 1 door Congreve Rocket Launcher, the exchange price is 1000 Luck Coins.

Concept: A pointed long tube-shaped weapon with a tail wing. The rocket does not need a barrel to launch, it only needs to have a launcher to launch. The rocket’s long tube contains gunpowder or incendiary powder, which has a very long range and is used in clusters. Mainly use tail flames to burn and injure the enemy, which has a great impact on the morale of the opponent. Special rocket shells can explode to produce fragments.

Applicable ammunition: ordinary rockets, special rockets (with explosive warheads).

Advantages: The range is extremely long, and the effect of attacking the morale of the enemy is very good.

Remarks: This is a weapon that strikes the morale of the enemy. Anyone who sees explosives with tail flames flying towards him will have a great sense of fear. The effect is surprisingly good for an enemy with an advantage in number but low morale. , But due to the particularity of rockets, you have to believe in'metaphysics' for the accuracy of rockets (basically unable to accurately aim, far inferior to the accuracy of smoothbore guns, so you can only perform coverage strikes in general directions, only when the number is accumulated enough The best effect will be exerted only when it is time). 】

Richard was holding the monoculars, watching all ten Congreve rockets miss the target, and shook his head speechlessly.

This thing is easy to use, and the power of the explosion is good. At least for the current era when the howitzer is still at the level of the enhanced version of the mortar, the range advantage and explosive advantage of the Congreve rocket are worthy of recognition.

But this hit rate...

"Hey, it seems that it is another team that needs to spend a lot of luck coins to be effective.

Although the artillery of the total war system is easy to use, the price is too expensive. Fortunately, the system soldiers who were recovered before provided me with 100,000 air luck coins, and the annual tax provided by the existing sites is not low. "

After the low hit rate can be compensated for by quantity, the Congreve rockets naturally have no obvious shortcomings, and they are included in the necessary strategic materials by Richard.

After inspecting the actual combat effects of the Congreve rockets, Richard and his team came to another open space. There were very few people here. There was only one weird long "cannon" mounted on a two-wheeled vehicle. Cannon...

After all, this thing is much bigger than a barrel.

The muffled bangs sounded one after another, and Richard was happy at first and then became dull...

I'm happy because Richard saw that this thing can shoot continuously, but the number of shots is not satisfactory...

[Parker Cannon: 6 people and 1 Parker Cannon team, the exchange price is 1000 Qi Luck Coins.

Concept: Strictly speaking, it should be counted as a gun because of its small caliber, but it is classified as an artillery because of its large overall size and the use of a gun mount to pull it with a horse. The Parker cannon is an attempt to fire multiple weapons. There is a disc (similar to a revolver) behind it to hold pre-loaded ammunition. When firing, shake the crank to fire one by one so that it has a "machine gun"-like firepower. When refilling, only the disc needs to be replaced. A similar structure was used by Gatling guns during the American Civil War. But there are essential differences between the two and modern machine guns. In the strict sense, the Parker and Gatling guns can only be loaded together and manually fired together with multiple ordinary guns. The first modern machine gun, the Maxim machine gun, used the expanding gas compressed by the bullet's bottom fire to compress the reentry spring to achieve the effect of continuous firing.

Applicable ammunition: specially made and exclusive shells.

Artillery equipment: Parker cannon, spare disc, sabre.

Artillery clothing: boat hat, blue uniform, yellow pants, black boots with buckle.

Advantages: Defensive weapon, more powerful than flintlock muskets, fast fire rate, more accurate than smoothbore guns, and easy to move.

Remarks: The firing rate of skilled gunners can reach 6 seconds per round. Taking into account the influence of the battlefield environment and other factors, the theoretical rate of fire will be higher. One disc is equipped with nine rounds, and the battlefield mobility is faster than artillery, in the breech. In the era when the gun did not appear, it was the most advanced rapid-fire weapon. In a sense, it is not only the pioneer of machine guns, but also the pioneer of fixed and rear-loaded guns. 】

The reason why Richard took the Congreve rocket and the Parker cannon out for actual combat observation is because these two weapons have not been seen by Richard even in previous movies and TV series!

Like other weapons and arms, Richard can roughly form a clear impression and tactical positioning in his mind after seeing the introduction. Only these two weapons have never been seen, or even heard of weapons, except for the introduction. I also have to personally experience their actual combat performance.

When recruiting Congreve rockets and Parker cannons, Richard was also pleasantly surprised to find that all the arms of Total War are Han Chinese. www.wuxiaspot.com~ speaks fluent Chinese!

In other words, the army produced by the total war system is essentially Han, which will undoubtedly make it easier for the army recruited by Richard to coexist harmoniously with the indigenous Han.

In this era, national exclusivity far exceeds Richard's previous life, and there is even strong exclusion among regions, but it is suppressed under the intervention of the imperial court.

But if they are from different countries, it is basically a normal operation for locals to bully outsiders. If the appearance gap is too large, they will even be attacked by locals as targets such as monsters and monsters!

Of course, this refers to the time when the foreigners are weak. If an army of foreigners passes by, the locals will only have the strength to pray...

Advocating the strong is the instinct carved into the bones of human beings. In the world where Richard lives, the standard for defining the strong is force. In the harmonious society of Richard's previous life, the standard for defining the strong is money and power.

From this point of view alone, the world that Richard lives in is also much behind the previous life...

"Include grenadiers, chassers, guards, light cavalry, dragoons, lancers, 6-pound cavalry guns, 12-pound infantry field guns, 6-inch howitzers, and Parker guns in the standard corps formation catalog.

Cuirassiers, Royal Guards, 20-pounder Unicorn Siege Cannon, 24-pounder Siege Cannon, and Congreve Rockets were separately organized into a regiment sequence. "

After figuring out the specific combat performance of each arms, Richard opened the total warfare panel to determine the proportion of the formation of the corps.

This is a function that Richard has the military academy. The Total War System will form a mixed standard corps and an independent single arms corps according to Richard's needs.
