Chapter 3025 (1/2)
What is this, fireworks?
Seeing rows and rows of tubes with the muzzle facing the sky, everyone is a little confused. Is this a new type of artillery, but is it going to shoot birds towards the sky?
Even Zhao Gong and Aruna are not famous. Therefore, Zhao Rui waved and called them and said, ”I'm going to test fire now. You can learn these. These mortars can be of great use in the future.”
Only then did Zhao Gong and Aruna know that this non amazing gun tube was originally called a mortar.
The people brought by Zhao Rui have also conducted test firing, and they still know the basic use method.
Zhao Rui went to the center of the gun array, found a mortar, introduced the dial to Zhao Gong and Aruna, manually aligned the left and right directions, and then asked the Jiaozhi city guard to open the door to aim.
The intertwined city guards can't touch their heads. If there are so many guns or volleys, the gate is so narrow. Can they all go out from the gate?
Zhao Rui's words were military orders. The city guard dared not delay and asked someone to open the city gate.
”Come on, you do it with me.”
Zhao Rui reaches out his right hand and thumbs up. At the same time, he closes his left eye. Zhao Gong and Aruna are also learning from each other.
”Remember, this is a method to measure the distance, which is called eye jumping method. You will often use it in the future... Now the right eye looks at the left side of the target along one side of the thumb, keep the head and hands still, close the right eye, make the left eye look through the same side of the thumb, remember to align the line of sight to a certain point on the ground, then visually measure the width from the left side of the target to that point, and then calculate the predicted width Ten times, that's the enemy's distance. ”
They listened to Zhao Rui's words and did the same action.
”Well, now I've measured it, but first I need to know the distance you measured.” Zhao Rui put down his hand and asked them.
Zhao Gong measured almost and said, ”I think it's more than 120 feet.”
Aruna hesitated and said, ”not so much, I think it's about 100 feet...”
Zhao Rui nodded and said, ”Zhao Gong is more accurate. What I measured is 450 meters, that is, 135 feet. You should be familiar with using meters as the distance unit as soon as possible, because the number on the dial is also meters. If you use the size of feet to calculate, it will inevitably produce relatively large errors.”
The two accepted the suggestion with an open mind, and then looked at Zhao Rui's debugging dial.
”Because the target is behind the mountain, we need to increase the elevation...” after a while, Zhao Rui adjusted almost, and said: ”the next is the test shot, but wait, we have to go to the city wall to watch.”
After closing the city gate, the three went to the city wall together. Facing the continuous mountains, Zhao Rui ordered: ”test fire!”
Hearing Zhao Rui's command, the soldiers who had been preparing for a long time put mortar shells into the barrel.
”Deng! Whoosh...”
The shell flew over the three men's heads with a sharp whistling sound.
”This...”
”This is...”
Zhao Gong and Aruna were stunned. It is estimated that the people in the city were also surprised. They have never seen such an anti-aircraft gun. It is similar to the riprap truck. They both attacked the enemy camp with an arc.
Zhao Rui is aiming at the mountain directly opposite the center, and Angkor's stone catapults are also centered on this mountain and scattered around.
But what Zhao Rui doesn't know is that the back of the mountain is also where the handsome camp of Angkor people is located.
”Report... Report to marshal! The gate of Tuojiang town opened just now, and then it closed soon!”
Because of the special situation, the soldiers observing the enemy hurriedly reported.
”Well? The door opened, but someone came out?” the coach asked in surprise with a glass of wine.
At this time, the commander-in-chief and deputy general are drinking. They think this may be the most comfortable siege. They don't have to show up. They just need to throw stones and break the city. Their generals are even more comfortable. They just need to drink and chat and wait for the city to break down and charge with elephant soldiers.
After hearing that the city gate was opened and no one came in and out, the commander-in-chief and the deputy general looked at each other and couldn't touch their heads. The commander suddenly pooped and said with a smile: ”it shouldn't be a cross toed man in order to get through the wind! Ha ha ha ha!”
The commander-in-chief's funny speech made the deputy general and the soldiers around him laugh together, because the Jiaozhi people really didn't form any threatening resistance to them these days.
Because of the artillery resistance and information, they all know that Zhao Rui is leading the defense. They even feel that Zhao Rui doesn't seem to be great. There's no way to take his own side, and it doesn't seem to be as powerful as the legend.
Several people are still laughing, suddenly heard a burst of broken empty sound?
what?
Before I had time to react, I felt something fell down. It happened to be the location of the catapult not far away.
”Boom!”
The earthquake rocked the mountain with a loud noise, and the catapult was blown into debris in an instant. The explosive spilled from it hurt the coach's face with blood.
what! what is it?
The coach suddenly lay on the ground and looked around. He found that the adjutant around him was dead. It seemed that his skull had collapsed after being hit by a piece of gravel.
Asshole!
How could Jiaozhi's shells hit here!
The coach struggled to look up at the mountain without damage. Can Jiaozhi's shells turn?
