546 Formation of Artillery 2

Firearms are point-type killing, and they must have high accuracy to exert their power. However, artillery is different. They are surface-type killing weapons. They only need to be within their effective lethality range, which will cause casualties to the opponent. Lu Ning was very satisfied with the error of one or two meters. When attacking a city, only the shells need to fall into the city, which will cause huge lethality to the people in the city wall. This accuracy can be achieved.

Seeing that Lu Ning and Ma Jun were so busy, Guo Jia felt itchy, and immediately said with great enthusiasm: "Lord, let me come and have a shot too! I also want to experience the feelings."

After hearing this, Lu Ning was shocked. What a joke, this is dangerous. After you hang up, I will go to find a great man like you. You are my right-hand man. "Fengxiao, this is a very dangerous thing, there will be a danger of blowing the chamber at any time." Lu Ning was still worried about the bomb explosion. After all, no one could explain clearly. This seamless steel pipe is not as good as later generations. There is no comparison now, and there is no knowledge of performance.

After hearing this, Guo Jia felt warm and looked up at Lu Ning with emotion. But he still said indifferently: "My lord, you are not afraid, will I still be afraid? Will my life be more important than my lord? You can fulfill my curiosity?"

After hearing this, Lu Ning didn't have any more objections. He also knew that Guo Jia was not willing to die of Huanghe and would definitely want to shoot a shot before he would feel at ease. If he really couldn't, Lu Ning had to nod and said, "Okay, Fengxiao, after you ignite it, you must run back as fast as possible, the farther you can, the better."

Guo Jia nodded after the middle, and immediately loaded the shells with the help of the soldiers and inserted the leads. Everything was ready. Guo Jia aimed at an arrow target and shot out with one shot. It was a coincidence that he happened to hit the shot. Guo Jia was very excited, and this was like adding icing on the cake. He jumped twice with excitement and shouted happily: "This cannon is so good!"

After his excitement eased a little, Guo Jia made another shot. This time he failed to hit, and the shell landed about 1.5 meters away from the target. However, this did not affect Guo Jia's interest at all. He continued: "A shot hit is a good omen! Another shot!"

When Tian Chou saw Guo Jia like this, he was as happy as a child. Seeing that there were not many shells left, Tian Chou immediately smiled and said, "Fengxiao, leave some for me, I want to shoot a few shots, and I also want to experience it." Without waiting for Guo Jia to speak, he walked up, controlled the gunner's position, and prepared to ignite the lead.

"Zi Tai, you..." Guo Jia had no choice but to retreat aside.

Lu Ning no longer persuaded him and helped Tian Chou debug the ruler on the cannon. Tian Chou was more interested and shot three shots in a row, but his luck was too bad, and he didn't hit a single shot, which made Tian Chou depressed and his face felt helpless.

Seeing that the shells were almost gone, there were only five. Dian Wei saw that if he asked Tian Chou to continue playing, he probably had no more to play. He immediately picked Tian Chou up and forced him to pull him down, so he would not let Tian Chou hit him again. Regardless of what others were thinking, he immediately went forward and fired five shells.

I don’t know why Dian Wei was the reason, but how could he master the tricks when watching from the side? Or was he particularly lucky. After five shots, all hit him in one shot, he knocked over five targets. Dian Wei was so happy that he burst out laughing.

It is hard to imagine that he won five yuan in a row. Lu Ning knew that the artillery now is not as accurate as that. But Dian Wei did it. Lu Ning stared at the boss and even forgot to speak. He looked up at Dian Wei, and saw that he was still there and laughed loudly. He was so excited that he was even happier than eating the fruit of life and soaking the peerless beauty.

Lu Ning was also happy. Seeing that all the shells had been fired, he immediately said, "Since there is nothing to shoot, then put away the cannons and return. Let's go back and celebrate well."

After returning to Jinyang City, everyone went directly to the largest restaurant in the city, "Hero Building", which is the industry of the Zhen family. The name of the restaurant was chosen by Lu Ning. All kinds of delicacies in the restaurant were from Lu Ning's mansion. There are too many later dishes here, and it is also the most complete variety except Lu Ning's mansion. After all, Zhen Mi is Lu Ning's wife. It is too easy for the restaurant to want recipes and production methods in Lu Ning's mansion. Just send a chef to Lu Ning's mansion to study. However, other restaurants are not that easy, and it is impossible to send someone to Lu Ning's house to learn cooking skills.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very warm. Everyone stood up to toast Ma Jun and the craftsmen who participated in the development of artillery. Ma Jun was poured and found out on the spot. The craftsmen under Ma Jun had the opportunity to have dinner with these senior officials from time to time. Now, under the leadership of Lu Ning, they came to toast them one after another. For them, it was a blessing for them to have fun in their previous lives. If they didn't drink anything, they would be a sip of wine. Not long after, all the craftsmen were drunk. Lu Wei just arranged for the soldiers to send them home to rest.

Early the next morning, Lu Ning asked Lu Xun to call Guo Jia, Tian Chou, Gu Yong, Sima Lang and other officials, and said to them: "I called you here to discuss something with you. I guess you have an idea in your mind, that is, I want to form an artillery unit."

When Tian Chou heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, lord, this name is better. I am very involved in forming an artillery unit."

Guo Jia thought about it and still expressed his questions: "Lord, I have no objection to establishing an artillery unit, but how should this artillery unit cooperate with our army's large forces to fight?"

When Lu Ning heard this, he laughed. Guo Jia was smart and immediately thought of using it in actual combat. "You all know that if you want to operate the artillery well, the soldiers must be trained strictly. Otherwise, the artillery will not have any lethality and will not have any deterrent power. Only well-trained artillery can fire the artillery well. As for the configuration of actual combat, I want to transfer the trained artillery to each army and give full play to the role of artillery. Although artillery is a new branch of troops, it must also be under the command of the main general on the front line to command the operation."

After hearing this, Guo Jia nodded and said, "Lord, I see that the artillery itself is very heavy and it is very difficult to carry. The choice of artillery must be strong, smart, digital, and memory-rich soldiers. I suggest selecting artillery in the "Night Eye". In this way, the subsequent training will achieve good results."

After hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, thinking that what Guo Jia said was reasonable.

Lu Ning knew very well that having good weapons alone would not work. The key was how to use them well. In history, there were many things that could be defeated by people. The Song Dynasty was a living example. The Song Dynasty had advanced technology and powerful financial resources, but it was defeated again and again in front of the Khitan and Jurchens, lost the Central Plains, settled in Hangzhou, and finally destroyed the Mongols, which made future generations sigh. This was also the tragedy of the Han people.

Of course, Lu Ning would not have any objection. After all, "Night Eye" is the best selected from hundreds of thousands of troops. They are all extremely powerful, able to fight on horseback, use as infantry, and use as naval soldiers. That is the strong capital of Lu Ning's army, the best, and the king of soldiers in the army.
