Chapter 81 Cannon Training

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
This kind of training will last for two to three hours every day. After that, he will return to the city wall and continue to work in his old business.

The guy in the same dormitory signed up for the musket team, and now he is holding a brand new musket and is standing behind him and showing off.

If it weren't for the discipline's requirement that the fight was not allowed, Vanne would have wanted to sew his mouth up.

But he also saw something was wrong.

How many days have the villagers who have joined the Musket Team trained?

I started to hone my shooting skills in the battle with the evil beasts, and what about the artillery team?

He hadn't even shot a shell.

Moreover, such a heavy artillery is impossible to transport it to the city wall.

Look at the top of the wall. It almost blocked the aisle when two people stood side by side. Usually, everyone is used to running on the slope inside the wall. Even if it is a little steep, it is better than hindering teammates from doing spear-stinging actions.

As for the artillery... the two wheels alone are wider than the top of the wall, and they also have to shoot downwards, which makes them not very practical no matter how you look at it.

Could it be... this thing is not used to deal with evil beasts?

The following exercises confirmed Vanne's conjecture.

Four artillery teams were taken to the river by iron axes.

He found that at some point, there was a huge ship in the Chishui River!

No...he wasn't sure if this was a ship, and the shell looked no different from the stones that built the city walls. It was wide and short. Except for two bare masts, where did the boat look like?

Vanne's group still argued about this.

This is obviously a floating bridge. The first to draw the conclusion was Yupi. He had followed the mine-carrying sailboat to Changge Fortress, and often boasted that he had a wide range of knowledge. The deck several meters wide was obviously for stability!I have seen a lot of traveling south and north. If it were a boat, how could I move without wind?In the past, this river had flooded heavily, which washed down all the wooden bridges in the fortress for more than ten years.The people in the city used floating bridges to replace them, and they set up a bunch of wide wooden boards to nail them to the boat, then pulled up the iron chains to connect them into a row, and how to walk steadily!

The farthest place he has been to is Changge Fortress, and he has traveled all over the country. Rodney sneered, "If you want to erect two masts on the floating bridge, you are afraid that you will not be blown away by the wind?"

And look at the tail end, isn’t the steering wheel placed horizontally?The pontoon bridge is not available.Nelson said to himself that the two brothers always vented their anger on the same nostril. In addition, the decoration of the wooden frame in the middle seemed to be about to build a shed, but it was not finished yet.This is a ship, no doubt.

Vanne was not very interested in whether it was a ship or not, and he only cared about the next training content.

The answer was soon revealed. Iron Axe asked them to catch the horses towed the cannon carts on the town. It was the name of the ship, or the name of His Highness the Prince himself.

After listening to the introduction of Iron Axe, Yupi's face suddenly became stiff, and the two brothers proudly tied the cannon wheel to the reserved blocking rod.

There are two sets of such blocking rods, each set of four, located on the center line of the deck, arranged one in front and one in the back.Obviously two cannons can be loaded at once.

Well, Vanna thought, now it is certain that what they are going to deal with is not the evil beast. The Chishui River flows from north to south, and there is no such spacious river in the hidden forest.

Vanne immediately felt its outstanding stability when he first stepped onto the deck.

The river flowed by the hull, and the stone ship remained motionless, as if standing on the ground.

Only when the horse is caught up will you feel a little swing.

He also noticed that whenever a group of artillery completed a round of on-board and off-board practice, the iron axe would record the time.

Contacting the blocking rod on the deck, it seems that only two of the four groups can come in handy.

Vanne secretly told the group members the news, and everyone immediately held their energy and used more than ten years of effort in each step.

If you can't choose the Raiders team and get kicked back, it's still a small matter to be unable to get over the face, and the increased salary will be gone!

On the seventh day, Vanne finally ushered in the long-awaited live-fire training.

On this day, His Highness the Prince also visited the scene to watch the artillery practice.All of the four groups held their chests high and walked with great strength.

Since everyone has become familiar with the ammunition loading set, the first shot was soon fired by the Vanne team.

This was also the first time he witnessed the power of artillery.

Amid the deafening roar, the iron ball twice as much as the fist fell into the snow one mile away, stirring up a large area of ​​snow and mud, and then jumped forward and flew far away.

And his naked eyes could not capture the trajectory of the iron ball.

This made Vanne feel a little scared while excited. How did His Highness the Prince create such a terrible weapon?

If you face the artillery attack, even if you are covered with armor, it will probably be useless.

After each group's shooting round, His Highness the Prince will order people to insert a flag at the first landing point of the shell, and at the same time intercept a hemp rope from the flag to the muzzle position.

After four rounds, when it was Vanne's turn again, he heard the order to change the angle of the muzzle.

There is a scale-engraved rotary dial at the two ends of the gun barrel and the gun mount, which is marked with five scales: 0, 5, 10, 25, and 30. Although I don’t quite understand what this means, just follow the instructions.

Iron Axe shouted: Shooting angle five!The most powerful grapefruit immediately put the gun brush rod under the barrel medicine room, pry the cannon from the tail end, Vannah twisted the screw on the gun frame until the first white engraving line was penetrated into the hole, and the grapefruit loosened the gun brush.

After the tail end of the barrel fell back, it was slightly shorter than the initial position. The muzzle was raised upwards, indicating that the scale fell just over 5 characters.

Then there were four rounds of shooting, inserting the flagpole, intercepting the rope, and adjusting the shooting angle.

Vanne gradually understood what His Highness did.

He is collecting the distance from each time the iron ball shoots, and the larger the angle of the muzzle rises, the further the distance from the iron ball landing.

Vannah had a deep understanding of this when using the bow. Only when the arrow was shot upwards could the arrow shoot far away. If it was shot flat, it would soon land.

Unexpectedly, the artillery was the same, but because of its fast speed, the flight distance was much longer.

He couldn't help but have a sudden idea. If the iron ball speed reaches a certain level, will it never land?

Around the Chishui River, the trial voyage of the Town is also in full swing.

Considering that Wendy is to be used as power, the personnel on board must be absolutely reliable.

So Roland selected a group of politically strong men as the first crew members of the town.

The captain is the chief knight Carter, the helmsman is Brian, the steward of the rising sail and the descending sail are the servants under Carter, and the accuser is Tigu Pine.

These people often come into contact with witches, and their silent ideological transformation has no prejudice against witches. Tigu even loves the house and the Ugly, spreading his love for his daughter to the entire witch group.
