The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 75 Who Has the Advantage of Two Hundred Vs Five Hundred?
"Get ready! Let go!" Song Yingkui yelled outside Qinglong Temple.

Song Xueliang heard that Ling cut off the cable on the catapult truck with a knife.

With a sound of "swish", a stone was thrown onto a mountain ridge twenty or thirty feet away.

The catapult is finally ready, today is the first test firing.Judging from the test firing situation, the effect is not bad.Being able to throw stones to a distance of twenty feet is basically enough to meet the needs.

Song Yingkui's catapult vehicle is a rope torsion catapult vehicle. The main consideration in choosing this method is for the convenience of movement.A lever-weighted stone thrower, if well designed, will throw stones farther than a rope torsion car.But the problem is that the thing is too bulky and inconvenient to move.

The positioning of the Zhuangzhuang team is to be able to support the defensive operations of Sanzhuang at any time, and must move quickly within the range of Sanzhuang.The torsion riprap vehicle with the chassis of the rack car can meet this demand. Song Yingkui naturally chose this kind of riprap vehicle to equip the village guard team.

"Third father, put the fire mine I made on the throwing hammer, let's try the effect of this thing." After the stone was successfully tested, Song Yingkui immediately arranged to test the grenade.

Whether the grenade can play a role is the key to making a catapult.Song Yingkui didn't know how effective hitting a few stones would be.In terms of shooting range, the Fanzi's Pegasus slinging stone skills can also throw stones at a distance of thirty or thirty feet, but the stones thrown are relatively small.But throwing the grenade twenty or thirty feet away can play a key role on the battlefield.

A standard grenade, after professional training, seems to be able to throw it five to sixty meters away.But Song Yingkui couldn't make the grenade of the later generations, and the crude version of the grenade he made couldn't be thrown by people.

With a bang, black smoke and dust rose from the grenade twenty feet away.The eyes of everyone standing in Qinglong Temple watching the bustle stared wide open.The firecracker was too loud, standing so far away could deafen the ears.

Everyone was a little confused about the specific function of this thing, and it was hard for them to imagine how to use this thing like a sky thunder on the battlefield.But they instinctively felt that this is definitely a very powerful weapon, not to mention how to use it to beat people, just the sound and movement can scare people to death.

Song Yingkui cared more about specific performance than the bewildered crowd.The throwing distance is similar to that of throwing ordinary rocks. After the grenade exploded, the scored iron shell was shattered.It can crush the iron shell, and it has lethality on the battlefield. If you add some steel balls to it, the effect will be even better.

The only bad thing is the detonation time. The grenade took a long time to detonate after landing.Such a large detonation delay will affect the lethality of the grenade.But the flaws do not conceal the advantages, for the time being, this thing can already handle things on the battlefield.

"Third father, these few days, you have led the brothers to familiarize themselves with the usage and skills of the cannon carriage in the fastest time, especially how to make the fire and thunder well. After I finish the other two cannon carriages, you will be the commander of the artillery convoy." After thinking twice, Song Yingkui replaced the third uncle from the commander of the spear team to the commander of the artillery convoy.Relatively speaking, the third uncle, who had been a carpenter, was more suitable for working as a gunner.

"Kuiwa, I see that you don't have many fire mines. When we practice, can we practice directly with fire mines?" Song Xueliang has been making weapons with his nephew, and he is naturally clear about the output.The remaining iron materials can't even make ten grenades, so how can people feel confident and bold in training their skills.

What do you think?Song Yingkui glanced at Third Uncle speechlessly, can you practice the precious grenade casually?Make a model that can be equipped with leads, can it play a training role?
The practice of throwing grenades is how to ensure that the ignited grenade is fired, is the practice of making the fire mine explode?

In recent days, farming has been relatively less, and about a hundred Zhuang Ding can be selected for joint training each time.The continuous joint training made the Zhuangzhuang team look more and more like a regular army.However, when it comes to the real battlefield, Song Yingkui can't say whether it works or not.As a temporary officer who is tying his head and leading troops to fight, being able to bring the team to the battlefield to line up is already an overfulfillment of the task.

Just when Song Yingkui finished the second riprap truck and took people to test its performance, a gong suddenly sounded on the mountain ridge.

"Hurry up and beat the drums so that the village protection team at home rush to Qinglong Temple to assemble, and the people in the temple immediately line up to meet the enemy." Hearing the sound of early warning mules, Song Yingkui rushed out of the test site immediately and issued a military order.

While everyone was busy organizing the team, Yang Shunan, the leader of the sentinel cavalry team, led his team members to meet Fanzi in the direction he came from on mules and horses.Their function is to meet the enemy, attract the enemy, and detect the enemy. It really makes them charge and kill on the battlefield like imagined cavalry, which is really a bit difficult at present.

After about a quarter of an hour or two, most of the people in the team rushed to their positions, and the formation at the entrance of the Qinglong Temple was formed.

"Beat the drum and march in the direction where the Fanzi came." Seeing that the team was assembled, Yang Shunan led the Fanzi to rush towards this direction. Song Yingkui ordered the village guard team to go forward so that the terrain of the battlefield was more suitable for his team to start and fight.

The sound of drums shook the sky, and Zhuang Ding in the team shouted rhythmically and moved the army formation orderly.

Most members of the cavalry team had already returned to the formation on mules, only a few skilled cavalry, such as Yang Shunan, were still circling and fighting in front of the Fanzi army.

From a distance, this old guy Yang Shun'an is really extraordinary.Riding a bay red mule and dragging a spear, he forcibly created the momentum of one man overwhelming the entire army.

Fanzi Youqi, who was following behind him, seemed to really want to clean up the coquettish old man who was oppressing them, but he couldn't.Old man Yang can use a spear to ride a mule to meet people, and he can also drag the gun to the ground and shoot with a bow.Don't look at the fans who ride good horses and their riding skills are even better, but there is no one as capable as old man Yang.

Yang Shunan's suppression of the enemy objectively bought a certain amount of time for the Zhuangzhuang team to assemble.No wonder the leaders of Sanzhuang admired the Yang family's ability.The ability passed down from family to family is indeed very extraordinary. One person played an important role, catching up with the sum of the rest of the sentry cavalry team.

Fanzi's team was getting closer and closer, and Song Yingkui could roughly count the number of enemies.

Grandma's, why are there so many fanzi coming out of Niutougou every time?There are five or six hundred Fanzi who came back this time, and they are all cavalry.

Can the two hundred amateur soldiers who have been formed for less than a month be the opponents of the five or six hundred Fanzi chaos?Who has the advantage in this battle?Having said that, weren't the fans also professional herdsmen a few months ago?They are not much more professional than the Zhuang Ding team.If they were professional, they wouldn't be overwhelmed by Yang Shunan riding a mule.

　There are some things in the past two days that the update cannot be guaranteed, and I will try to restore the normal update tonight!
