At this time, there were more and more shells.More artillery have spotted the favorable conditions for pirate warships to be close and easy to shoot.Cannonball greeted him naturally.
With the withdrawal of pirate warships from the war zone.The noble navy finally won the battle.Their losses are not small.It was mainly caused by improper handling, but they damaged a warship, a merchant ship, and sank a cargo ship.Such a record is much more effective than their initiative to send warships to attack.

1524 Expansion of the fort
"The opponent has built a lot of fortifications. If you use wild artillery to bombard them, it will be difficult to hit them down. The trajectory of the wild artillery is too straight. If you hit it, it will not be able to exert its power." Check the situation on the forward position of the army.
although.Zhao's nobles have an absolute advantage in artillery.But the quality of their soldiers is not very high.Plus the tactics are very poorly applied.so.They couldn't move each other at all.And the nobles for these rioting miners.And the attitude of those who resist the tax has not changed at all.They still see it as a treason against the country.This mutiny should be suppressed immediately.It must not be delayed for too long.
Because the interests of these nobles have indeed suffered serious losses.In the eyes of Zhao's nobles.The biggest threat is not Qin Jun.The first time to update is these domestic rebellion rioters.They will greatly threaten the vital interests of the nobles.threaten their interests.It is a threat to the foundation of Zhao Guo.Because the nobility is the foundation of Zhao.all the time.All the nobles of Zhao State think so.
"The trajectory of the field artillery is too straight. Such artillery is very suitable for field battles. But it is such a tough battle." The gun expert sent by the Qin State dragged.Apparently he was worried about the state of Zhao's noble army.
Indeed.Field guns have a straight trajectory.If two armies fight in the field.It is very suitable for field artillery.Because the straight trajectory can directly bombard the opponent.Deals a lot of damage to infantry.But now the situation is.The two sides did not engage in field battles.on the contrary.Please come to more and faster chapters.Zhao Jun.Or the miners.Play to your strengths.Excavation works.Build some fortifications and firepower points.And the shells bombarded by the straight field artillery directly bombarded it were of no use at all.
The opponent is in the tunnel.And the shell hit the edge.This will naturally kill the opponent.
"Hurry up and think of a way. We need to put down these thugs as soon as possible." A noble general shouted anxiously.
"Don't you Qin have a lot of weapons? We pay the money. Just destroy these grandsons." The family general shouted arrogantly from the side.
"What do you think?" Qin's artillery expert asked another artillery expert at the side at this time.Roar for the generals.Please come to more and faster chapters.Both of them just ignored it.
"If those fortifications are not clear, it will be difficult for these noble troops to charge up. The worst thing is that there is no vitality strike. They will not be able to eliminate the Zhao country thugs in those fortifications. Those Zhao country thugs can use the fortifications to resist the attack of artillery In this way, the power of the artillery will not have much effect." Then the artillery expert said.
"So how to solve this problem." asked the gun expert.
"There is only one way. It is to fly over with curved ballistic weapons. An explosion occurs inside their trenches. It kills and injures the opponent." The artillery expert said.
"En." The gun expert nodded.
"This matter. Let's discuss it after leaving here. Please come to more chapters sooner." After a field visit by two Qin experts.Decided to get out of here.They will submit a report after some discussions.
After some research.discuss.The last two experts think.If Zhao's noble army wants to take the next step.A whole new weapon is needed.
This weapon is a large-caliber powerful mortar.
The main use of field artillery is in field battles.In the case of field combat.Both sides must deploy infantry on a large scale.artillery.And a field artillery with a straight trajectory can play its role.After all, its combat distance is long.The effect of killing infantry is obvious.
And with the update of the Qin army's weapons.Countries have also successively equipped a large number of field artillery.The caliber of this field artillery varies from five inches to two inches.There are many types of shells.It is very lethal to the infantry mainly equipped by the countries in the Central Plains.Therefore, a large number of countries are equipped with field artillery.However, the applicable environment of field artillery has not attracted the attention of various countries.
Field artillery is only suitable for field environments.That is.This kind of artillery is suitable for both sides to set up a battle.Carry out large-scale field operations.But it is not suitable for tackling tough battles.Especially this kind of trench digging.The power of the field artillery is greatly reduced.
Mortar.Actually a mortar too.However, the mortar made by Qin State is a large-caliber bronze artillery.This cannon still uses the simple pouring process.Because its base is very heavy.It is very inconvenient to carry.Coupled with the rapid expansion of Qin.Use more field guns.So the mortar was never used.But Qin's artillery manufacturing is a system.It is also a system to update equipment at the first time.
Field artillery is suitable for use in large-scale field environments.But if the state of Qin goes east to the world.Sweeping the words of the six countries.It is inevitable that there will be some tough battles.Especially those cities that are difficult to conquer.but.this period.Including Qin State.The structure of the city is still a rammed earth structure.Using field artillery is enough to deal with this kind of rammed earth structure wall.The mortars used to manufacture equipment have not always come in handy.Because a large-scale battle has never happened.This is mainly because the architectural structure of this period is still dominated by rammed earth structures.Despite the appearance of reinforced concrete structures.However, such fortifications are not yet able to achieve large-scale popularization.so.Qin's mortars have never been used.
Until now the situation happened.Finally, the Qin Guo mortar can come in handy.
"Can mortars solve this problem?" The representative of the Qin Fire Company asked the two experts suspiciously.Because the two experts agreed that the mortar can be used against their enemies.
"Yes." The two experts said in unison.
"The mortar can attack the opponent's fortifications on a large scale. It's just that this kind of ballistic weapon has a relatively short combat distance. But it is very powerful." The artillery expert said.He is very optimistic about mortars.Because Qin ** is in the warehouse of the company.There is still such a lot in stock.Mortar production mold.And the shell production line is still standing.If you leave it like this.It will rust.
"We can export a few doors to try. There is no actual result. We can't make such a judgment." The representative of the arms company said.
"Try it." The representative said in a low voice.
Just when the Qin Fire Company planned to provide a batch of mortars to Zhao Jun.The nobles of Chu State were ecstatic.Because their fort tactics have achieved great results.After hearing such news.The nobles quickly walked together and came to the fort.Regardless of the danger, they also want to see the actual effect of the fort.
"My lord, there is a merchant ship coming over there. We can intercept it." A general said in a low voice.Then he nodded to an officer below.
"Boom. Boom." Immediately afterwards.The two guns fired first.All at once the nobleman heard the sound of cannon.Really startled.
"Whoosh." The shells roared and greeted the merchant ship.
"Boom. Boom." The shells fell into the water around the merchant ship.The water column suddenly rose high.
"Good fight. Keep firing." At this time, the general gave an order to the officer in a low voice.
"Crash. Crash." The officer was ordered.Send the order down immediately.A flag bearer standing on a high place waved flags of different colors.
"Boom. Boom. Boom." Immediately afterwards, the cannons rumbled.
The shells flew out.Please come to more and faster chapters.There are more than 100 artillery pieces on the noble fort.There were bursts of roars.Such a roar.The legs of this nobleman from Chu State were numb from fright.
The artillery of the noble navy was not very accurate.First, their training is not in place.They have not mastered the actual firing skills of some artillery at all.Shoot.It is already very reluctant.Second.They used smoothbore guns.Smoothbore guns have no rifling on the inner wall.Accuracy suffers greatly.
But the noble navy has its own tactics.They have many forts.There are more than 100 artillery pieces on it.These more than 100 artillery pieces formed a huge artillery shooting cluster.Although the accuracy of their shooting has a big problem.But they can quickly launch the power of more than 100 artillery pieces in a short period of time.Don't be afraid of being inaccurate.Just run towards a certain area and concentrate on shooting.Such bombardment is very terrifying.
And that's what the fort does.In a short period of time, a large amount of firepower was gathered to block the river.In this way, the purpose of taxation by the nobles is achieved.
"Whoosh. Whoosh." The shells came roaring.That merchant ship couldn't resist the artillery attack that didn't rent that much.
"Boom!" There were bursts of explosions in the distance.The sawdust of shells hitting wood.And the merchant ship continued to emit dazzling flames.
"Keep shooting." This time.The family will shout loudly.The Noble Artillery conducts a second reload.But this process is relatively slow.As the gunpowder smoke dissipated.The noble took a telescope to check the situation.This look.The nobleman nodded in satisfaction.The merchant ship on the river was already on fire.Some people kept jumping into the river.Some of the following merchant ships stopped when they saw this situation.They are scared.
"Okay. That's it." The nobleman shouted loudly.
"My lord, if we also build a fort on the opposite side, these merchant ships will have to pay taxes. And no matter how powerful those pirates are, they will not be able to compete with us." The general said in a low voice at this time.
"Really." The nobleman asked at this time.
"Don't dare to lie." The general said in a low voice.
"En." The corner of the noble's mouth twitched.
"Repair. Build the fort on the opposite side. I want all the passing ships to pay taxes." The nobleman said with a wave of his pen.And after seeing the power of the fort, the nobles behind.They all nodded.Suddenly they realized something.
This fort is much easier to use than the warships of the navy.On both sides of the strait, fortresses were built to build a dense firepower network.No one can cross this river.The nobles pondered in their hearts.Moreover, the combat power of the navy is far less powerful than that of the fort.This is what I saw firsthand.
1525 Smuggling in Frontier States
Regarding the expansion of the fort, the nobles of the Chu State believed that it was necessary. Only by expanding the fort could passing merchant ships be intercepted, and then high taxes could be levied on passing merchant ships.Only the interests of the nobles can be guaranteed.
In contrast, the establishment of aristocratic naval forces and surface warships can certainly achieve this goal, but the combat capabilities of warships are really too low.Facts have also proved that a naval force cannot be satisfied by gathering a group of personnel and building a few warships.The improvement of combat power takes time to sharpen.The nobles would never give so much time to sharpen their warships. Most importantly, the investment and return rate also need to be considered.
A strong navy needs a lot of things. Nobles are impatient, and they will not continue to invest more money to buy more weapons and equipment to strengthen their navy. It is obviously very wrong to invest in the surface power of the navy. Sensible.
After seeing the role of the fort, the nobles decisively increased the investment in the fort, and the size of the fort should be continuously doubled.
To the north of the desert, in the area controlled by the Huns.A horse team is slowly approaching a Hun tribe.
"Oh. Oh. Da da da." Just as the cavalry was approaching the Huns, a galloping cavalry quickly stepped forward.
