The artillery officer from the regular military officers of the Ming Empire, who came from the martial arts hall, drew out the goose-ling sword and issued an order to replace ammunition to the artillery troops behind him.

Behind him was the most iconic firearm unit of the empire, using their magical artifact, the Thousand-Kiln Franc.

The Franco aircraft is the equipment that best represents the traditional Ming Empire firepower troops, no less than the 59 tanks in the 20th century.

The same is the same as the imitation of advanced equipment, and the large number of equipment is relatively outdated when equipped. However, after the modification, magical modification, it is changed and changed. After the operation is changed, try to give it a try on the battlefield of the new world.

In fact, the age of the Franco machine is similar to that of the 59 tank. It was first imitated in the second year of Jiajing. In the third year of Jiajing, it was copied into 32 large samples and sent to Jiubian for trial. Once it was used, it was deeply loved by the people. By the seventh year of Jiajing, there were 4,000 medium samples of the Franco machine cannons in the Ming Dynasty.

By the end of Jiajing, Franji became one of the main weapons of the Ming Dynasty.

And to this day, although they have stronger, heavier, and farther new weapons, when they see Franchise, people will still smile and affectionately call the Invincible General.

The Franchises placed in front of the formation are all new guys from the late Longqing and early Wanli period. They gather the great achievements of talented people and patriots in the Nanyang Military Arts Bureau. They are the most outstanding crystallization of wisdom for craftsmen and generals of this era.

The Nanyang Guard Weapons Bureau has three of the most proud achievements, all of which can be reflected in these Franca cannons.

First, the iron-core copper shell of the great craft Guan Yuangu uses an iron-cast cannon core and a copper-cast shell structure. The barrel bore is further strengthened with the copper shrinkage characteristic, which is a balance between quality and cost.

Second, when Chen Mu was the commander, he cast a large number of cannons, and worked with the Guangzhou Prefecture Martial Arts Hall to study and summarize the shape of the cannon body diameter, which is applied to the eleventh caliber of the tiger squat cannon, twenty-twoth caliber of the Fran machine cannon, and thirty-three times that of General Zhenshuo.

The thickness of the gun bottom, gun ear, fire door front wall, gun ear front wall, gun ear front wall, and muzzle under each caliber are customized, taking into account the balance of weight and power.

As for the third, the third is that their first commander was Chen Mu.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty in history combined with the artillery technology of the entire world in the same era, the only thing behind is the regulation of the diameter of the gun body and the thickness of the gun wall.

In terms of casting technology, the world is incomparable to the big bell hanging in the palace by Emperor Yongle; in terms of ballistics, gunners all over the world rely on experience, and even Chen Mu relies on experience. Even if the gunner's mathematics was very good in the Napoleon era, the gunners still rely on experience.

The Ming gunners also summarized the rule that the muzzle was raised by one inch and the shells were several hundred steps away.

In terms of gunpowder, Qi Jiguang has the closest ratio to modern black gunpowder, while the Ming Dynasty has the purification technology that can make the world unique in the making of salt.

The Chinese were the first to make gunpowder, and refined nitrogen ore, and then to make gunpowder earlier than to make gunpowder.

The unsaturated organic acids of radish can decolorize and remove impurities; the potassium carbonate of wood ash can eliminate magnesium salts, and remove calcium and magnesium carbonate to bind precipitation; gelatin adsorbs impurities, and alum divides the precipitate into the lowest layer.

Craftsmen have the ability but not their own. Few people who can understand technology like Qi Jiguang. Over time, the cannons are becoming heavier and heavier, but there is no regulation on the thickness of the gun wall. Heavier cannons exert the same power as lightweight cannons, wasting logistics.

Later, Western regulations were also circulated in history, but these were not paid attention to during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. The straight-tube cannons became heavier and heavier, but their power was not much higher. There was even a situation where the range of artillery fired in the previous dynasty was shortened by renovation.

The soldiers who were marching from afar were like black clouds spreading from the sky, Fei Yu standing in front of the formation was dry and dry.

It is hard to imagine that so many people would have the same movements and expressions around him. They were nervous and anxious, like beasts trapped in cages.

The Franchise's loose tubes splashed bullets forward, and each time they shot, several people would fall down in the Rakshasa army, but they prayed while walking, and even pushed the cart wall, and their paces got faster and faster.

The enemy was approaching, muskets and bows fell scattered on the platform. The artillery soldiers of the Ming Empire were wearing light armor but fearless, and still firmly carried out the orders from the captain, repeating the movements of cleaning, loading and shooting the cannons.

In sharp contrast, the artillery carrymen in the array of artillery arrays under the turret were far from that skill, nor did they have the courage to remain calm in the face of danger.

They stood in the military formation, looking at me and looking at you, and they were sure that they were just as panicked.

In the end, I could only turn my attention to the commander on the turret.

People need backbone. Since these people gathered in Gansu, they have followed the Qianhu, the infantryman on the fort, whose name is Chen Ce.

He is from Guangdong, but he has no relatives with Chen Mu. He is from Guancheng Town. In the fourth year of Wanli, he passed the military examination and graduated from the Infantry Department of the Guangzhou Martial Arts Hall. He was appointed by Wanli to Beijing to meet the saints and empresses, and transferred to Gansu. Last year, he took the luggage station to Yili after the Western Expedition Army, and only then went to Siberia this year.

The enemy troops were advancing towards them.

Although there were countless people who were injured and killed by artillery in the chariot camp, many people were shot on the charge road, but after all, there were thousands of enemy troops. At this time, there were only 400 porters stationed under their turrets, and there were less than 500 regular artillery soldiers on the turrets.

No one can be as calm as water.

Perhaps, at least Chen Ce on the fort was in the midst of a 100-step charge distance, and he still commanded the artillery to load ammunition without fear.

The criminal army and infantry under the stage were so anxious that they were cursing. At this time, they finally knew why the military formations of the Khanate soldiers were behind them, especially those riders riding horses and spears were dozens of steps behind them. I am afraid that their mission was not just to defend the enemy.

It’s not that they don’t want to escape, but the army behind them doesn’t give them a chance to escape.

In fact, the porters in the artillery positions do not have much pressure on the battlefield, but they just don’t know.

In their vision, they could only see the overwhelming enemy troops spread out like a black line in the sky, sweeping over, getting closer and closer, but they did not know that the commander of the Rakshasa army, Grand Duke Belisky, had a very clear purpose.

His purpose was to kill the generals and break through, rather than seize the artillery position. Therefore, the main impact direction was not the earth-building artillery, but the location of the central army Karacha behind the artillery.

Everyone knows that when they leave the chariot camp, the Ming army troops in all directions will be suppressed, so only by defeating the central army where the main general is located can one lose his life.

Although Belisky did not know Chinese, the difference between the Ming army's flags and the big flags was too big. The big flags meant that the soldiers on the battlefield knew where the chief general was, and that the soldiers on his own could see them, and that of the enemy soldiers.

They just need to hit the biggest flag.

Chen Ce on the fort also knew the current situation. More enemy troops had already spread to their wings when they approached them a hundred steps, and only had relatively weak troops - less than a quarter of the total strength of the Rakshasa Kingdom still roared straight towards them.
