- boom!
?? Two hundred meters ahead, bursts of dust and smoke were raised, and the sand was splashed in all directions under the powerful explosive force.
Facing such an explosion, Lamour and Wang Shan didn¡¯t have any expressions of surprise on their faces. Although they are both genetic people, they are also people living in the virtual 21st century.
But the British prisoners who were building houses in the distance and the Anuch soldiers were all dumbfounded.
¡°Oh my God, what¡¯s going on?
Is this witchcraft?
Such an idea came to the minds of many British prisoners.
After the Anuch warriors were initially surprised, they immediately became happy.
Because they have now joined the ¡®Song¡¯ empire and become Song¡¯s clansmen. So as Song Dynasty becomes stronger, the greater the benefit for them.
After the smoke cleared, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan came out of the bunker and walked over to the explosion point.
¡°Well, a crater with a diameter of five meters and a depth of twenty centimeters appeared after the explosion.
After a rough visual inspection, Zhao Hongyu judged the power of the explosion.
"It's not bad. I'm still satisfied with the power of this bag."
Zhao Hongyu glanced at Wang Shan encouragingly.
Song Hu on the side said: "We can bury this kind of ** bag and wait until the enemy passes by before detonating it. But the disadvantage is that we must leave one of our own beside the ** bag, otherwise the ** bag will not explode by itself detonated, which is a very big flaw.¡±
Yes, this kind of ** has flaws. Not quite perfect.
In this era, with the existing technology of Zhao Hongyu and others, it is simply impossible to manufacture that kind of remote control bomb bag.
As soon as Song Hu finished speaking, Lamour interjected: "Don't the leader have a lot of arquebus fuses? If we fight the enemy and the gap between the two sides does not exceed a hundred meters, then it can be solved. But the fuses will consume a lot of money. Big, this needs attention.¡±
What Lamour said. It actually made everyone think of a solution.
There is nothing wrong with consuming leads, since they can be purchased very cheaply from the trader.
"The lead wire is not a problem, nor is the 200 meters."
Zhao Hongyu thought for a while and said.
Wang Shan smiled and said to everyone: "Since the lead is not a problem, then I think this kind of gun can be put into use. But the premise is that we must lead the enemy to a suitable point."
It¡¯s not difficult to lure the enemy deeper.
Both Lamour and Song Hu laughed.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!
Wang Shan clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
I saw Wang Shan waving. A gene man ran from a distance and handed him a wine bottle filled with gunpowder.
Wang Shan shook the bottle filled with gunpowder and said to everyone: "It's a pity that the Erguotou we sell is in bulk. It would be nice if there were bottles. But it doesn't matter, there is a lot of rum in the Mayflower." , I found a good use for these bottles.¡±
The thick empty rum bottle was filled with black powder and a lot of lead bullets.
A long gunpowder fuse was plugged into the mouth of the bottle, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed with linen mixed with a resin.
"This is the grenade I studied.". Wang Shan Gaoju just waved it in front of everyone and said: "Because my skills are limited and the materials are also limited, I can only achieve this level."
Looking at the wine bottle ¡®bomb¡¯ in Wang Shan¡¯s hand, Zhao Hongyu chuckled.
"Yes, if you throw this thing in melee combat, it will definitely make the enemy drink a pot."
For this kind of weapon, Zhao Hongyu gave affirmation.
Lamour raised his hand and stroked his smooth chin, frowning slightly and raising a question.
"I have no doubt about the power of this thing. Just looking at the lead bullet in the bottle makes me feel chilled, not to mention the fragments produced after the bottle explodes." Lamour first made an affirmation. Then he continued: "But if used in close combat, this thing may accidentally hurt our own."
When Lamour said this, everyone suddenly woke up.
¡°No, if this thing explodes, it will definitely cause indiscriminate radiation damage.
"We have to find a way to solve it. We are really sorry if we don't use such a powerful weapon."
Zhao Hongyu said to everyone with some distress.
With this kind of wine bottle grenade, you can even think about it with your buttocks and know the power it produces after it explodes, as well as its lethality.There is absolutely no chance of survival within ten meters. If it explodes in mid-air, the radiation range will be even larger.
But its shortcomings are also obvious. As Lamour said, there is no difference in damage after a bottle grenade is thrown and explodes.
When the time comes, you will definitely hurt your own people.
It is no good to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to oneself.
Therefore, if this problem is not solved, then this weapon will be useless.
"This problem is easy to solve, but the method is a bit obscene."
At this time Song Hu spoke.
"Oh, if you have any ideas, just tell us and we can all work together to provide advice."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Song Hu.
"Hey, can't we just find someone from the death squad?" Song Hu laughed maliciously, "Don't tell the Indians how powerful this weapon is, just use it with them and they may die. We You can create a human bomb, but this method is a bit damaging."
Song Hu¡¯s ability to think of this is not unrelated to his ideas.
He is different from Wang Shan, who is an angry young man.
Therefore, in Song Hu's view, except for the Chinese, the lives of other races are not lives. Even the Mohicans who had a good relationship with them were still second-class people in Song Hu's eyes.
If Zhao Hongyu, as the leader, can really establish a country, Song Hu will definitely propose a hierarchical citizenship system.
Of course, whether to adopt it or not is up to Zhao Hongyu.
"Human bomb!"
Lamour, Wang Shan and Zhao Hongyu. They were all shocked by Song Hu's suggestion.
Okay, this is how we are going to cause terror in 1620.
They actually even made suicide bombs.
But this is really a good suggestion, but the question is where to find people who voluntarily die?
No one is willing to do such a life-threatening thing, right?
This is what the three of them thought.
"Song Hu, your suggestion is not bad, but the question is who can do such a thing knowing that he will die."
Lamour said.
Song Hu glanced at Lamour. Seeing that he was a member of his own group, Song Hu didn't despise him too much. After all, this is not conducive to the harmony within the group. So Song Hu could only hide his contempt for Lao Hei in his heart.
¡°Think about Iraq, then think about Afghanistan, why can those women do it?¡±
Being reminded by Song Hu. Everyone will understand.
This is to take advantage of those widows.
"I've said it before, there are no solutions, but they are somewhat destructive." Song Hu spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, and said to everyone helplessly. "But you can't help but say that this is the best way to solve the problem at present."
Indeed, apart from using this method, there is really no better way.
If a person who is determined to die charges and ignites three or four bottle bombs and throws them at the enemy when he is close to them, the damage that can be caused to the enemy will be huge.
If you are someone with quick hands and feet, you can throw six or seven in a row
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "This is a good idea, but I can't let go of my conscience. I also know that if I say this, you may look down on me and think that I am not cruel enough. But I still have to tell you my true thoughts. I can't Do something like this.¡±
To be honest, Song Hu was disappointed but also relieved that Zhao Hongyu did not agree to his proposal.
He was disappointed that the leader was not cold-blooded and cold-hearted enough!
But he was also gratified because it showed that the leader was a good person. He's not the kind of guy whose humanity has been wiped out.
Lamour had almost the same idea. He felt lucky that he did not follow a cold-blooded leader.
The same is true for Wang Shan.
"Let's change the method of use. Since it can't be used when charging. Then we can use it when laying an ambush. Try to use it in canyons or high places, as well as in places with bunkers. In this way, we can reduce accidental injuries. That's it. ."
Everyone nodded. They have no other solution now.
"Okay, let's test the power of this weapon so that we can have an intuitive feeling."
Zhao Hongyu walked to the bunker first and said to the three of them with a smile.
All four people walked into the bunker. Wang Shan asked his men to walk to the bunker and set up the humanoid targets they had made in advance.
After everything was ready, Wang Shan signaled.
Then he took out a match and lit the fuse.
Hiss!
The fuse started to burn. Wang Shan waited until the fuse was halfway burned, then raised his hand and threw the bottle grenade.
Then he lay down behind the bunker with Zhao Hongyu and the others.
Peng!
About seven or eight seconds later, there was a loud noise in front of the bunker, and sand and dust were kicked up, and some even fell on their heads.
Bah! Bah bah!
Several people stood up and walked out from behind the bunker.
They came to the humanoid target and began to observe the destructive power caused by the explosion.
The humanoid targets are all made of solid wood, with lead bullets and glass fragments deeply embedded in their wooden bodies.
¡°If this were a real person, he would probably die in a miserable way due to being frightened by such power.
After observing it, Zhao Hongyu was very satisfied with this destructive power.
With the gun bag and this kind of grenade, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Zhao Hongyu will definitely be improved by a lot.
By the way, have the cannons on the Mayflower been disassembled?
Zhao Hongyu suddenly rang out what he had told Wang Shan.
"It was dismantled, four 8-pound cannons. At the same time, I asked the British prisoners to build wooden carts and put the cannons on them so they could be moved."
When Zhao Hongyu asked this question, Wang Shan quickly answered it.
"While we have time today, let's try the artillery too."
Zhao Hongyu thought to himself that today is also an experimental weapon, so he might as well try the artillery.
In the end, I was able to know what was wrong.
Wang Shan nodded and called a gene man to give him instructions.
Then, the genetic man turned and left.
The four people chatted around the human-shaped target. Not long after, the gene man came back with the cannon.
"Chief, the cannons are here. Let's try firing a few cannons later."
Zhao Hongyu turned around and saw four artillery pieces pulled by eight cows parked not far away.
No, they actually use oxen to pull artillery!
Seeing that Wang Shan actually used cattle to pull the artillery, Zhao Hongyu was really shocked.
"How do you use an ox to fire a cannon?" Zhao Hongyu asked, chewing his teeth. Wang Shan replied helplessly: "Although the eight-pounder cannon is not heavy, it is very laborious to pull it manually. The main wheel has no iron axle, and the resistance to rotation is great, so we use oxen to pull it. This guy is very strong."
? Okay, this explanation is reasonable.
"But the problem is, the artillery fire makes a loud sound, which will scare the cows."
Wang Shan chuckled and said: "Just pull the artillery to the battlefield, and the cow can be taken away. After the battle is over, we can lead the cow back, so there will be no trouble."
Zhao Hongyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Wang Shan and said: "Then we must ensure that we can win every battle, otherwise we will have no choice but to run away with the cows."
Faced with Zhao Hongyu's words, Wang Shan replied calmly: "Chief, don't you think that we can win every battle with our combat effectiveness? You must know that our current equipment is already very sophisticated. That¡¯s it.¡±
Zhao Hongyu thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s try the cannon first.
As for this issue, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will know whether your approach will work.
¡°It¡¯s useless to just say it now, you have to try it on the battlefield.
Several people walked to a distance of ten meters behind the cannon, and several gene people began to clean the barrel of the cannon, fill it with gunpowder and prepare the fuse.
"Chief, there are two kinds of cannonballs here. Which one do you want to try?"
Wang Shan came over with a cannonball and asked.
Zhao Hongyu looked closely and saw the cannonball Wang Shan was holding. One type of cannonball was two small iron balls with a small iron chain tied between them. This type of cannonball was called a 'chain bomb'.
The function of this kind of shell is to attack the pole of the enemy's sailing ship.
The other type is a solid bullet, specially used to attack the hull.
"There are only these two kinds of cannonballs on the Mayflower. I didn't find the other cannonballs." Wang Shan said to Zhao Hongyu helplessly.
After listening to Wang Shan¡¯s words, Zhao Hongyu had no choice but to say to him: ¡°In that case, let¡¯s try these two kinds of shells. If I have a chance in the future, I will take a look at the time and space trader.Can I buy it? "
While Zhao Hongyu was experimenting with weapons on Manhattan Island, the soldiers Black Bear sent out a few days ago returned to the Mohican tribe.
However, the news they brought back was not very pleasant.
After hearing the stories of the soldiers, Black Bear immediately conveyed the news to the elders of the tribe and the old leader Samara to let them make a decision.
And he himself immediately set off to Manhattan Island to see Zhao Hongyu, preparing to tell him about the British in Virginia so that he would have an idea.
