Steel Dynasty - Chapter 997

[Chapter 990 Encounter]

“Ta-ta-da…”

“Ta-ta-ta…”

The muzzle of the gun sprayed flames, and bullets shot out from the muzzle at high speed. The mountain in front of the machine gun was hit by bullets, and stone chips flew everywhere. After a while, in Under continuous machine gun fire, a small crater appeared in the mountain.

When the machine gun was firing, the metal bullet shells quickly ejected from the combination of the bolt and the barrel, and the canvas hanging the bullets was quickly swallowed by the machine gun. In one minute, 350 rounds of bullets, seven meters in length, were fired. The ammunition belt was completely beaten.

This is under the premise that the machine gunner can slow down the shooting speed.

Xiao Ming’s eardrums were numb from the shock. Looking at the Changping machine gun in front of him, a relieved smile appeared on his face. Although the industrial status of other places in the Chongqing Kingdom was still in the eighteenth century, there is no doubt that Qingzhou’s industry has already By the end of the nineteenth century.

After a long period of technology accumulation, the perfect industrial system has reached the explosive stage of technological products. Song Changping used the current industrial base to create a machine gun similar to Maxim, which is enough to prove the strong strength of Qingzhou industry now.

“Perfect!”

Xiao Ming gave a thumbs up as a perfect ammunition belt was beaten clean.

After a pause, he said to Song Changping: “Now that the war in the north is about to break out, it is exactly when this weapon to restrain cavalry is needed. I will give you a month to see how many Changping machine guns you can produce.”

“Now the military factory is still There is no special production line for machine guns. Some of the parts of these machine guns are ground by workers in the military factory on lathes and cannot be purchased in other factories. If the emperor urgently needs them, the lower official can provide thirty machine guns a month,” Song Changping said.

“Thirty is enough. This machine gun consumes a lot of bullets. It seems that our reserve of bullets will be exhausted this time.” Xiao Ming said helplessly.

“I’m afraid so, but fortunately we don’t have fighting in other places. It should be enough to concentrate in one place.” Song Changping estimated the number of bullets and said.

Xiao Ming nodded, “Then let’s do it. As long as we can completely defeat the Golden Horde, the consumption of these bullets will be worth it.”

After settling the matter, Xiao Ming inspected the arsenal again before returning to the palace. At the same time, he dispatched 300 soldiers to the military factory to train them how to use machine guns.

After finishing these things, Xiao Ming lay on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Qian Dafu smiled and said: “The emperor has always been worried that Europe has learned our musket technology. Now that we have this national weapon, those Europeans may not have time to cry.”

“That’s true. With this thing, we can We can completely suppress them with firepower, and the era of queuing up to kill them will officially be a thing of the past,” Xiao Ming said with narrowed eyes.

In contemporary history, the combat method of queuing to kill continued until the appearance of the Maxim machine gun, and officially disappeared during World War

I.

Because the dense formation was massacred when faced with machine guns.

“Hey, if so, it seems that occupying Nanyang is not a problem.” Qian Dafu laughed. When he was in the Minerals Department, he knew that Nanyang was very rich in mineral resources, and the climate here was also very suitable for farming. If he occupied this place , they will get a lot of food and minerals.

There was a look of longing in Xiao Ming’s eyes. The emergence of machine guns meant that he could control a large area with a small amount of troops, so he didn’t need to worry about troop strength. …

Raozhou.

Under the starlight, Qi Guangyi led eight thousand lancers to march forward under the stars and the moon. During the time he was stationed in Raozhou, he basically felt the grassland clearly. Even with his eyes closed, he could find the location of the barbarian tribes.

This time he led eight thousand lancers as a surprise force to harass the three major tribes that had gathered together.

Compared to ten years ago, the barbarians are much more careful now. In order to prevent their tribes from being attacked by sneak attacks during the war, they gathered the three tribes together, built fences around them, and set up artillery to guard against their sneak attacks.

It will be difficult to directly attack the tribe as before, and the price will be high.

Therefore, this time Qi Guangyi led eight thousand lancers not to attack the three major tribes, but to directly attack the barbarian cavalry who were going to support the three major tribes.

This time they put up such a large formation in Raozhou, and the three major tribes themselves could not resist them, so Qi Guangyi was sure that Dorgo would send other tribes to support them.

This way they have a chance.

Because the tribes on the grassland vary in size, the cavalry coming to support must also come in waves.

And just as he thought, after bypassing the three major tribes, they quickly encountered a barbarian cavalry who came to support them.

When they were about to cross a hill, a barbarian cavalry numbering about 10,000 people faced them head-on. The teams on both sides stretched very long on the vast grassland.

“Commander, they are from the Goshawk tribe.” The guard beside Qi Guangyi said, “The grassland of their tribe is closest to the Zhungeer tribe.”

Qi Guangyi nodded, as he thought, the barbarian cavalry on the grassland was not at all If you see them, run away, otherwise they will definitely chase them, not to mention that the current situation is that their numbers are superior.

“Let the soldiers prepare!”

Qi Guangyi said coldly. The distance between the two armies was now only more than 500 meters. Through the telescope, he saw a barbarian general looking at him with a telescope.

“The Tsarist Russians were kind to them and gave them binoculars.” Qi Guangyi frowned.

While he was talking to himself, the trumpeter blew the trumpet, and the lancers immediately moved, riding in three rows, each soldier holding a carbine in his hand.

When the lancers were moving, the barbarian cavalry directly opposite also moved, and they rushed down from the hills brandishing their scimitars.

Qi Guangyi looked serious. This was the first battle of the Lancers. If they could fight a good battle, it showed that the Lancers could deal with ordinary cavalry.

On the hills, a barbarian general was watching Qi Guangyi and the eight thousand Yu cavalry coldly.

He is Zach, the leader of the Goshawk tribe.

Next to him was a tall, bald man. Looking at the cavalry rushing down, he grinned and said: “Tian Khan is really clever. He guessed that the Chongqing Congress would attack us, the supporting cavalry, so let him The cavalry of each tribe marches ten miles apart, so that if we encounter the cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom, we can catch them off guard.”

Zach laughed when he heard this, “These Great Yu Kingdom are so stupid, they think they are the same on the grassland. Our opponent? This time our Goshawk Tribe will win this first prize!”
