Chapter 184: New Artillery Tactics

Seeing everyone's anxious appearance, Ye Tianheng enjoyed it very much. He stroked his beard and laughed a long list of laughter. Then he said, "My friend, this method is not difficult, it is very simple. To make the kiln rotate, you have to use water. I think this workshop must still be built on the shore of the Wei River."

"I have thought about using hydraulic power, but it may not be able to move it." Chen Wanrong was a little disagreeing with his thoughts.

"Yes! Brother Ye, it's good to use water, but there must be a limit. For example, a Kiln is so big that it can't move the water." Kou Yibing also opposed it.

Ye Tianheng smiled and said, "This is my second method. The power of water is insufficient and cannot drive too much. Therefore, I think this kiln doesn't need to be too big, and it's just that the water can drive it."

As soon as they finished speaking, everyone looked at Ye Tianheng without admiration or opposition, they could only look at him.

The method is not about being clever or not, but whether it can be used. This method is not difficult at all. As long as you think about it, it can be thought of, but it is very suitable and very suitable for the Tang Dynasty. To make 10,000 kilograms of cement, my kiln cannot meet the requirements, so how many kilns can be used?

After a while of old age, everyone cheered in unison: "Yes, this is what we should do!"

"Wait!" Chen Wanrong was extremely excited and said, "Master Ye, this kiln has changed. I don't want a standing kiln, I want a rotary kiln. This is the case with a rotary kiln!"

Previously, considering that the power was not easy to solve, Chen Wanrong chose to stand up the kiln. Now, after Ye Tianheng's explanation, power is no longer a difficult problem, and there is no problem with the rotary kiln. Can Chen Wanrong not be excited?

Regardless of Ye Tianheng and the others' reactions, they picked up the charcoal and drew it. After a while, they drew the rotary kiln.

The rotary kiln is a lying cylinder with an incline, which looks very simple in appearance. After Chen Wanrong finished painting, he talked about the things he needed to pay attention to. Ye Tianheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, my friend, I'm not sure! My friend, I want to try to do this first rotary kiln. Although I can't help me, I have to practice it. It can be done within about a month. As for whether it is easy to use, it is another matter. If I can practice it well, I can do it."

The first rotary kiln does not require too high requirements, just use it. Even if it cannot be used, it doesn’t matter. Ye Tianheng has to be familiar with it. There is still plenty of time. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, “Then there will be Master Ye.”

Liu Huaide took over the conversation and said, "Master Ye has spoken, I feel at ease. However, General Chen, you have to choose the workshop first and build it first."

Kou Yibing added: "The workshop must naturally be built in advance. There is another more important thing, that is, the layout of the workshop must be well planned and not messy. We must make a good conclusion."

Construction requires drawings, so Chen Wanrong can only explain the main things clearly. The drawings have to be handled by Kou Yibing and others, and said with a smile: "Then I'll be there for you."

Kou Yibing thought for a moment and said, "It will take us three or five days to complete this matter."

"Time is not a problem, please study it." Chen Wanrong knew that this matter was too urgent, so he changed the subject and said, "This machine tool can be used now, but how do you check what you made? This requires a tool. I have an idea. Can you see if it can be used?"

After saying that, using charcoal to draw a tool, nothing else, is the most commonly used detection tool for modern machining: vernier calipers!

Chen Wanrong has used the vernier caliper countless times, and he will not make mistakes even if he closes his eyes. After drawing it, he explained the use method to them and asked: "Can this thing be made?"

Perhaps the unit of measurement used by the vernier caliper made by the Tang people is not a modern unit, so it doesn’t matter. Even if it is a ruler, as long as it can be detected and used.

If the machine tools can be used, it can be said that the machining era has arrived! If there is no suitable testing tool, can it still be called the machining era? The tool that Chen Wanrong is familiar with has become the first choice. As for more advanced testing tools, I will talk about it later.

This time, everyone's eyes were not focused on Ye Tianheng, but on Kou Yibing, because Kou Yibing was the best at detecting tools in the military weapon surveillance.

Kou Yibing did not speak, but looked at the figure for a while, and kept thinking, and finally nodded: "Can do it! However, the first move may not be accurate! You have to do more to make the most suitable one."

Practice makes perfect! As long as it can be made, there is no problem with accurate detection tools. Chen Wanrong is relieved.

This explanation took a lot of time, and Ye Tianheng and others gained a lot. Not only did they know what cement is and what its uses are, but they also had challenges again. They were all excited. Mo Ming asked for some details and then they dispersed and went to work hard.

Chen Wanrong did not follow them to the military weapon supervision, but went to the Longwu Military Academy. Geshuhan was expanding artillery, but Chen Wanrong, an artillery general, could not make sense.

Chen Wanrong rushed to the Longwu Military Academy. As soon as he met, Ge Fushun grabbed Chen Wanrong with an unhappy look: "General Chen, General Chen, Lord Chen, you can do it, choose less, okay? I beg you!"

Looking at his incredible pain, Chen Wanrong couldn't help but feel funny: "General Ge, what's wrong with you? I just came, so you complain to me, as if I were Tathagata Buddha!"

Ge Fushun felt very distressed: "General Chen, your deputy general, Brother Shu Han, is really not a good person. He picked three thousand people from the Longwu Army as soon as he came. Three thousand people, three thousand dragon martial army, I have to re-select and have to re-train. I spent so much effort, but I made wedding dresses for you. Do you think I feel good?"

The selection of the Dragon Martial Army is very strict. The selection of the Three Thousand Dragon Martial Army alone requires the boss’s effort, let alone training. This is Ge Fushun’s heart. How can he not feel hurt?

Chen Wanrong patted Ge Fushun's shoulder with sympathy: "General Ge, to be honest, I'm a little embarrassed and I want to pick people from Longwu Army. However, this is the emperor's will, and I must not fail to implement it like this."

"Even the emperor's will, you can't choose so many! Just pick one or two thousand!" Ge Fushun was dissatisfied.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "General Ge, tell you the truth. General Ge Shu is kind enough. If I choose, I will not choose ten thousand, but I will choose eight thousand!"

"Go away! I don't know you!" Ge Fushun roared in surprise.

Chen Wanrong said proudly: "General Ge, there will be more and more artillery, and the scale of artillery will become larger and larger! Go and pick the soldiers quickly. Don't wait until we choose, you have no soldiers to send them, that would be too embarrassing!"

Ge Fushun was so angry that his face turned pale and pointed at Chen Wanrong, and he couldn't say a word. Chen Wanrong was right. In the battle of Tubo, who didn't know who was the artillery force in the army? The scale of artillery will definitely become larger and larger, but there is one thing, why not choose from other places but from the Dragon Martial Army?

Chen Wanrong laughed and said, "General Ge, I will invite you to drink another day!" After saying that, he trotted and avoided Ge Fushun's kick in the butt.

He didn't go far and greeted Geshuhan. The first thing Geshuhan said was: "Brother Chen, did you see General Ge? His face was so long!"

All the Longwu Army were treasures. Everyone would feel distressed when they picked three thousand of them for Ge Shuhan at once. Chen Wanrong joked: "You have chosen fewer ones, so you can choose more than ten thousand!"

"If that's the case, General Ge will definitely hit the wall!" Ge Shuhan smiled so hard that he smiled. After laughing, he said with a serious look: "Brother Chen, I know that 3,000 is far from enough. However, the Longwu Army is responsible for the order in Chang'an after all. If it is too many, it will be unfavorable to the court! Therefore, I only selected 3,000, plus the original, a total of 4,000, which can be dealt with for the time being. As for the future, when there are too many artillery and have to expand again, I still have to choose from other troops, and I can't always choose from the Longwu Army. In my heart, I really want to choose from the Longwu Army, but there is one thing, the Longwu Army cannot weaken too much."

Of course Chen Wanrong understood this truth. Chen Wanrong was just joking and nodded, "Brother Brother Shu is right. Let's talk about the future! Let's practice these four thousand artillery soldiers first! Will it be smooth today to provoke the troops?"

If Chen Wanrong didn't say it, then he mentioned it, Brother Shuhan smiled again and patted Chen Wanrong's shoulder: "Brother Chen, you don't know. The scene of my recruitment is both happy and funny." Speaking of this, he looked around and then continued: "Fortunately General Ge is not here, otherwise I can only tell you another day. Brother Chen, you don't know that scene... As soon as the news of the artillery expansion spread, the Dragon Martial Army all looked forward to it, hoping to pick it for us."

The artillery made its first contribution in this battle and had long become the pride of the Longwu Army. When the artillery returned, she moved into the Longwu Army camp and talked about the battle, how could the bloody people like the Longwu Army still sit? Staying in the Longwu Army will never be able to go to the battlefield for the rest of her life. It would be different if she went to the artillery. It must be a matter of not talking about the battle on the battlefield. It is a matter of time before she made meritorious service.

Such an example, artillery soldiers should have been established long ago!

The Longwu Army wanted to become an artillery soldier, Chen Wanrong understood and nodded with a smile. Ge Shuhan continued, "General Ge gathered the Longwu Army and asked me to choose. Before I could choose, the Longwu Army was in anger and asked me to choose them. I just joked, "General Ge, how did you take the Longwu Army? They all want to throw them into our artillery!" I was joking, but I didn't expect it. When General Ge heard this, he jumped up and held his fist and chased me. I ran around the boss before he threw him off!"

Watching the army he trained sharply and want to turn to others, it is unbearable for anyone in Graham's position. Although Ge Shuhan is a joke, he is quite stimulating. How can Graham not get angry? Using fists instead of using a knife, Graham is sensible!

Chen Wanrong suddenly realized that no wonder that Ge Fushun sent Ge Shuhan as soon as he met, it turned out that there was still this level.

Ge Shuhan finally said, "No matter how joking is, I am not cruel to pick more. I only picked three thousand people. Even three thousand people almost made General Ge's nose crooked, as if I had cut the flesh from my heart!"

"Brother Geshu, I think if you can, General Ge would rather dig the flesh from his chest than picking out the Three Thousand Dragon Martial Army." Chen Wanrong couldn't help laughing.

Geshuhan laughed and waved his hand, "Let's go, Brother Chen, go see the brothers!"

Chen Wanrong responded and followed his brother Han. From a distance, he saw thousands of artillery soldiers standing neatly, and Liu Fuqing was explaining to them the use of artillery.

This time, Liu Fuqing captured Jide Zuzan alive, made great contributions and became famous. In addition, his artillery was particularly accurate, so it would be best for him to explain to the artillerymen. Ge Shuhan's arrangement was quite appropriate.

The artillery soldiers listened to Liu Fuqing's explanation and were very focused, with their eyes shining, and were particularly energetic. Entering the artillery means being able to go to the battlefield, and being able to go to the battlefield means being able to make military achievements. It is much better than staying in the Longwu Army. It is not that the Dragonwu Army is bad, but on the contrary, the Dragonwu Army is very good and is a pride in the army.

However, artillery is better! If you have the opportunity to go to the battlefield and have the opportunity to make contributions, these are exactly what the bloody men of the Dragon Martial Army want most. Now, the expectations come true and the opportunity is right, so you naturally have to seize the opportunity to learn more.

Liu Fuqing followed the army to fight for a lifetime, had a wealth of experience in the battlefield, and was particularly good at using artillery in actual combat. He talked very well. By the time he finished speaking, the artillery soldiers gained a lot.

After finishing the talk, he realized that Chen Wanrong had arrived. Liu Fuqing was a little embarrassed and was about to come to meet him. Chen Wanrong waved his hand to stop him and walked to the front of the formation and said, "Brother, I, Chen Wanrong, sincerely welcome us to be a member of the artillery! You are now artillery, so you must strictly demand yourself by the artillery requirements! The ugly saying goes, if anyone does not abide by the artillery rules, I don't want him to go anywhere, but to eat military sticks and go to the prison! Is there any problem?"

"No!" the artillery replied in unison.

The requirements of the Longwu Army are already strict enough, and the requirements of artillery are even stricter. There is nothing that people from the Longwu Army cannot do. They are full of confidence and can do it.

Chen Wanrong continued: "You are very lucky that you will be bombarded as soon as you come! The court gave us two hundred artillery pieces, and there will be more in the future! You all know that a few months ago, when the artillery was first established, there was only one artillery, and many people could not touch the artillery pieces for several days. Now, with these artillery pieces, you must use them well!"

"It must be used well!" The artillery cheered in unison!

"It's a man, there's a stick in his crotch! What he says must be as strong as the stick in your crotch, and it must be strong!" Chen Wanrong knew the temperament of these passionate men and said a slander.

Not only did the artillery soldiers laugh, but his blood was ignited and his eyes became brighter: "We are men, we must be firm! Keep our words!"

The next thing was much easier. One thousand people were sent to military weapons to supervise artillery transport, and the rest were allowed to teach them the experience.

Although it is rare for the Dragon Martial Army, it is completely different from those who have not been to the battlefield. This cannot be changed, and this arrangement is indispensable.

After watching for a while, Chen Wanrong called Ge Shuhan, Liu Fuqing, and the captain together, glanced at him and said, "This time the battle against Tubo, the artillery made its mark and made its reputation! However, this is not enough, because we cannot exert 10% of the power of the artillery! This time, the emperor wants to expand the artillery, and I decided that our training will change."

"General, please give me the order!" the captains said in unison.

Chen Wanrong continued: "Before we say that we need to change, let's talk about what we don't change. No matter whether it's sunny or rainy, the physical fitness and the training of holding the bar must not be interrupted! We must practice every day without any storm! If we hadn't had this training, it would be a problem whether we could carry the cannons over this time after passing Jishishan."

Liu Fuqing and others who went to the war expressed their deep agreement with this and kept nodding.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, I will arrest this matter!" Geshuhan was the initiator of this matter. It was because he could see far that the artillery could carry the artillery and march thousands of miles.

Chen Wanrong said with a serious expression: "Military discipline cannot be relaxed, it can only be strengthened! If our military discipline is not in order to fight against Tubo this time, we will not be able to get the support of the Tubo people, and we will not be able to achieve such a great victory! Good military discipline is the guarantee for whether an army can defeat the enemy!"

"General, please rest assured, we must abide by military discipline!" Everyone promised in unison.

After explaining these things, Chen Wanrong explained the new tactics of artillery: "The power of artillery is very powerful, and you all know this, so I won't say much. This time, the artillery played an extremely important role in the battle against Tubo, but the artillery was mainly used to attack the dangerous passes of Tubo. During the decisive battle, the artillery was used as a surprise weapon, rather than as the main military to confront the Tubo army head-on. What is the reason?

"We only have thirty-five cannons! If the thirty-five cannons were used as head-on confrontation in the decisive battle of nearly 300,000 troops, they would not have much effect. Because the number is too small!

"It's different now. We have two hundred ready-made artillery, and there will be more in the future. I have estimated that in the spring of the next year, there will be no one thousand artillery, and there will be seven or eight hundred. So many artillery can be used for head-on confrontation. You can imagine what would be the result if our artillery and crossbowmen set up their formation and attacked head-on while the enemy charges?"

Do you still need to think about this? Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, like the red sun hanging high in the sky.

Liu Fuqing concluded: "The advantages of artillery artillery over crossbows are mainly in two aspects. One is that our range is close to five miles, while the crossbow is less than one mile. The other is that the power of artillery is greater. With these two points, we can effectively kill the enemy from a distance. Hundreds and thousands of artillery artillery are concentrated to show their power. It must be that the mountains and the earth will shake, and the world will lose its color!"

This was so exciting that everyone couldn't help but clenched their fists, wishing they could kill the enemy immediately.

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "There are more artillery and the larger the scale of artillery, so the use will be different! The attack is still the responsibility of our artillery.

, This cannot be missed. However, we should devote more energy to head-on confrontation, so that the brothers know that so many artillery set up formations are no different from crossbowmen, cavalry, and heavy infantry. We can also fight head-on!"

The use of artillery has been different, the tactics have changed, and a new model of war is about to appear! The change of human war has begun!
