The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

After sending away Zhou Jiale, Ye Tianlong returned to the real world to see how the new weapon samples designed by Luo Chenguang were being manufactured.

To Ye Tianlong's delight, several samples of these new weapons had been produced, so Ye Tianlong brought all these samples to the world of riding and slashing, preparing to test their actual use effects.

There were some firearms here that had to be assembled after they were brought to the world of riding and cutting, so Ye Tianlong called Ye Da and James to help assemble these firearms.

The first thing to be assembled here is a new type of grenade. The previous old-fashioned grenade was too heavy, but now this new type of grenade is obviously smaller and lighter.

The reason why the previous old-fashioned grenades were so large and heavy was that in order to ensure their lethality, a lot of iron pins and iron pieces were installed in the body of the grenade.

But this new type of grenade has canceled this design and instead uses pig iron to make its shell. This kind of pig iron is very brittle. After the surface is scratched with some prefabricated fragments, it will explode into several pieces after the explosion. Ten sharp iron pieces kill surrounding enemies. This design has actually been used in reality for a long time and proved its practicality. Therefore, when Ye Tianlong acquired the factory, he specially modified the production line so that he could mass-produce this new type of grenade with pig iron shell.

Ye Tianlong weighed the new grenade in his hand, which was at least one-third lighter in weight. After observing it for a while, he pulled out the fuse and threw it away.

After a loud explosion, all the wooden targets around it were blown down. The power didn't look much worse than the old-fashioned grenades.

Ye Tianlong was very satisfied with the effect, so he started testing the next new piece of equipment.

This piece is a small continuous artillery with a caliber of only [-] millimeters. It is also a field artillery that Luo Chenguang expected to be equipped on a large scale in the future, and can move quickly with the troops.

Even small artillery must weigh more than a flintlock rifle. Therefore, in order to facilitate the transportation of these artillery, the workers in the factory also produced some supporting artillery carts as required.

Ye Tianlong observed the gun truck and found that except for the two tires, the rest of the thing was connected by steel pipes, which looked very crude. However, on its surface, there is a thin layer of steel plate that covers up its simple internal structure. In addition, on the outer steel plate armor, there are circular grooves that can be inserted into. The sharp spears on them allow these artillery carts to be connected end to end after stopping, and finally form a steel defense line full of spikes.

The gunner can hide behind the steel plate and shoot outside through those gaps.

In addition, our own long guns can also rely on these defense lines composed of artillery carts to better fight against enemy cavalry. Originally, it was necessary to form a phalanx of spears to barely withstand the impact of enemy heavy cavalry. With these artillery carts formed With the support of the steel defense line, perhaps only a row of pikemen can repel the enemy's heavy cavalry.

In addition, musketeers and bombardiers can also hide behind this steel defense line and continuously fire and throw grenades, causing continuous casualties to the opponent.

After testing, Ye Tianlong found that the firing speed of these small-caliber continuous artillery was indeed very fast. If controlled by a skilled gunner, this small-caliber artillery could fire five or six times in a minute. Its only flaw may be that its range is not as good as that of the [-]-millimeter-caliber heavy artillery. The maximum effective killing distance when firing solid shells is only about [-] meters, and the effective killing distance when firing shotgun shells is only about [-] meters.

However, Ye Tianlong feels that this shortcoming is acceptable. After all, there is no perfect weapon in this world!

After personally testing this small-caliber artillery, Ye Tianlong picked up a so-called flash bomb. Before testing this thing, Ye Tianlong put on sunglasses for himself.

After the bang, the flash bomb immediately released a dazzling white light. Ye Da, James and others who were not wearing sunglasses beside Ye Tianlong immediately let out bursts of screams, and their eyes were flashed by the dazzling white light. The sting was extremely painful, and tears kept flowing out. It took more than a minute to finally calm down.

And this was enough for Ye Tianlong. In more than a minute, it was enough for them to kill the enemies who were blinded dozens of times.

Later, Ye Tianlong picked up a rifled flintlock rifle specially designed by Luo Chenguang for the snipers in the army. Not only were the barrels of these rifles about [-] centimeters longer than ordinary rifles, but the inside of the barrels were also Engraved with rifling lines. And in order to facilitate loading, these rifled guns were designed as breech-loading rifles, which made the loading speed of this new rifle much faster than ordinary front-loading flintlock rifles.

After Ye Tianlong loaded a bullet into it, he fired a shot at a target a hundred meters away. He found that the accuracy of this new rifle was indeed much higher. He shot an eight-ring shot directly. good results.

As for the original front-mounted flintlock rifles, it would be considered good if they could hit the target at such a long distance. It would be almost impossible to hit an eight-ring target.

Therefore, Ye Tianlong felt that although this new rifle was much more complicated and troublesome to manufacture than the front-loaded flintlock rifle, it still had production value. After more snipers were trained in his own army, he would be equipped with these After the 'sniper rifle', these snipers can completely kill enemy generals and officers in battle, causing a huge blow to the enemy's command system and morale.

After putting down the rifled rifle in his hand, Ye Tianlong grabbed the 'shotgun' with a thick barrel. This thing is also a flintlock rifle, but the barrel caliber is very large, [-] centimeters. If it were in the real world Among them, such a large caliber can definitely be regarded as a small cannon.

After finishing loading, Ye Tianlong held the small cannon and fired a shot. Immediately, a large number of shotgun steel balls were fired out, leaving bullet marks on a large number of human-shaped targets not far in front of him.

After several test firings, Ye Tianlong discovered that when this super-large-caliber flintlock gun fired shotguns, the furthest effective killing distance was only about twenty meters, and because of the large caliber and large charge, its firing The recoil produced at that time was also very strong. Even Ye Tianlong, a master of Mingjin, felt his wrists were a little sore and numb after firing a few shots. This was not to mention ordinary soldiers who were afraid that they would be injured after just one shot. It was shaken by the huge recoil and was immediately dislocated.

Therefore, Ye Tianlong believes that this new equipment is not suitable for mass production. This is the only piece of new equipment that Ye Tianlong is not satisfied with until now.

After throwing away this new piece of equipment that he was not very satisfied with, Ye Tianlong came to a big guy, and with the help of Ye Da, James and others, he put it on a specially matched launcher.

This is a pointed rocket that is about two meters long and the projectile is about forty millimeters thick. It can also be said to be an oversized flying monkey, but its outer shell has been changed from cardboard to iron.

"Light it up!"

Following Ye Tianlong's order, Ye Da held a torch and stepped forward to light the fuse at its tail.

Then several people quickly retreated back, and did not stop until they were hundreds of meters away. After all, such a big sky monkey, even if it is loaded with black powder, the power of the explosion is definitely not small. If If this thing failed to successfully take off and exploded on the spot, Ye Tianlong and the others would be waiting to die if they stayed there!

Fortunately, the situation that Ye Tianlong was most worried about did not happen. After the fuse burned out, the tail of the rocket sprayed out a dazzling flame, and then pushed its body to slowly fly into the air, and then its flying speed exceeded It came faster and faster, and finally flew to an altitude of hundreds of meters like a discharged cannonball, and flew away into the distance.

However, its flight trajectory was very unstable and twisted. Fortunately, it had a tail fin on its tail, so it finally turned without flying and flew back toward Ye Tianlong and the others.

However, the irregular flight trajectory made Ye Tianlong look confused, thinking that this thing seems to need to continue to be improved! Otherwise, it can only be used when the number of enemy troops is large enough. Otherwise, with this kind of strike accuracy, nine out of ten rounds fired will hit uninhabited places.

At this time, after crossing a distance of nearly three thousand meters, the rocket quickly fell to the ground, and then exploded violently. Because of its huge amount of explosives, its explosive power is quite good. Ye Tianlong feels that if the explosion is accurate, it will be able to take away at least fifty or sixty enemy soldiers in one wave.

While Ye Tianlong was testing the new weapons, Luo Chenguang was leading the armed civilians to suppress a large wild boar. This wild boar was discovered by a peasant woman who came out to fetch water this morning.

Because this place is deserted, many of the various wild animals here can live to the limit of their lifespan. For example, this wild boar that was accidentally discovered must be very old, and its body length is already close to four meters. , weighing definitely over a thousand kilograms, and its body is covered with a thick layer of mud armor mixed with dried mud and resin, giving it extremely powerful defense, and the words in its mouth Two sharp fangs that are more than half a meter long give it powerful attack power.

Facing such a terrifying giant beast, I am afraid that even if the tiger sees it, there is a high probability that it will retreat.

Perhaps it is the reason why no one has dared to mess with it for a long time that makes this big wild boar so courageous. Even if it finds a large group of humans approaching it quickly, this guy has no intention of avoiding it and is still digging there. Eating the roots of unknown plants.

In order to successfully capture this giant beast, Luo Chenguang didn't care. He even asked the civilians to bring a heavy cannon. He didn't believe it. This heavy cannon, which could barely break through the defense of the second-order python dragon, would Such a wild boar cannot be killed with a blast.

But he didn't want to use heavy artillery unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, it would inevitably blow the prey into pieces. Then it would be much more difficult to collect its essence, blood, skin and flesh, and even most of them All will be wasted in this process.

Under Luo Chenguang's order, the fifty armed civilians formed a very dense square formation in teams of ten. The soldiers in the front row leveled their flintlock rifles and slowly approached the big wild boar.
