The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Boom. Boom." On the artillery position of the 26th Regiment, the artillery of the Qin Army approached and fired. They are equipped with direct-fire light artillery. This type of artillery can only blast through the walls by firing at close range.

The artillery equipped by the Xiongnu cavalry is the more mature rear-mounted artillery of the Qin army, but it is not a metal artillery shell. In order to reduce weight and further save costs, flammable paper shells are used. However, the types of shells have been differentiated in detail. Solid shells and grenades have become the mainstream. Of course, there are other special types of shells, but basically this equipment is divided into two categories.

"Wow." The cannonball whizzed across the infantry position.

The 26th Regiment of the Huns are cavalry when they are mounted and infantry when they are dismounted. The Qin Army believes that the Huns must have a certain level of infantry combat capability in suppressive operations.

"Sir, when will we launch an offensive?" Meng Du asked his officer, Captain Shirakawa of the Engineers. He is the only engineer unit of the 26th Regiment.

Their task was to find a way to blow up the opponent's city wall after the artillery attack, because their chief was worried that the shelling would not damage the city wall further. Therefore, he decided to use the simplest method to clear it by blasting. Although light artillery is highly mobile, it is not powerful enough. This is the shortcoming of all light artillery. Originally, the artillery only provided limited firepower, and there was no plan to use it for siege operations. If it is dedicated to siege operations, it needs to be equipped with large-caliber mortars, but the movement speed is terribly slow. . The cavalry unit would not want such a weapon.

"After the artillery fire ceases, I think if this is the case, we will be much safer." Shirakawa said. He was originally a college student and studied civil engineering. Mainly for construction, but because of military service, because of military service, the military will provide part of the tuition or all of the tuition so that he can complete his graduation. So, Shirakawa came here. However, most of the engineers and soldiers were destruction to him, and construction rarely appeared in his hands and burned the houses of the Dawan people. Destroying their city walls, most of what he does now are these, that is, roads, and he has no clear task to tell to repair.

"Sir. I personally think." Meng Du said, shaking his head.

"Sir, I think we should take advantage of this time to go to the front line to ambush. Once the artillery stops, we will go up and load explosives, and then take the opportunity to ignite the city wall. In this case, we will be much safer." Meng Du suggested.

"It's dangerous to do this," Shirakawa said.

"But sir, we are safe in this way, because those Dawan people are trying to avoid the artillery attack. They will avoid it. In this case, the forward position is a gap. This will help us to arrange the explosives. On the contrary, if we blindly I am waiting for the artillery before moving forward. I am afraid that if I do so," Meng Du said.

"We will miss the best opportunity." Meng Du said worriedly. He is a Huns and the only sergeant of the 26th Regiment. He is from Simon State, a mining area. He is the best blaster in their place, mainly responsible for blasting mines, and an expert in explosives.

"But it's very dangerous to do that. I don't want my troops to be in a dangerous situation. It's not good for us." Shirakawa said.

"Sir, listen to me. I invented a pipe myself. I have seen that artillery uses solid ammunition. They opened some small holes in it. We can use these holes to carry out secondary blasting. I don't think the problem is big. We can open up this situation." Meng Du said.

"Yes." Shirakawa still emphasized the danger, perhaps because there were few battlefields, but Meng Du had experienced many blasts, and he was used to it.

"Sir, this is very important to us. If our regiment wants to enter it now, we must open this wall. He has become the biggest obstacle in front of us." Meng Du further persuaded.

"Our engineer company's mission is like this. Sir." Meng Du said. The Huns cavalry regiment, they only received grenade training, but little contact with blasting training, or not, many Huns have played, but they have not really learned blasting. Therefore, the task of the engineer is still blasting. They don't need to build fortifications.

"Okay. Maybe you are right. I agree to do this, but you must ensure your safety. You are the only sergeant in the regiment. I don't want to see casualties." Captain Shirakawa finally agreed.

"Thank you sir." Meng Du said happily. Immediately he summoned the assembled manpower, an engineer squad of fifteen people. They strengthened their firepower advantage, and then took advantage of the continuous bombardment of the Qin Army's artillery and approached their target.

"Swish." After a bombardment. The Qin Army’s artillery positions temporarily stopped firing. The light artillery used steel. This kind of steel is relatively cheap, but it is a special kind. There have been several accidents on the battlefield of Liaodong. The guns continued to fire for a period of time. After that, there will be an explosion. The artillery was wounded by this. Although such artillery has such problems, it is still equipped with a large number of Huns cavalry troops, because they cannot do without artillery support. In such a situation, the trick that the artillery came up with was to stop firing for a period of time, and then wait until the barrel cooled down and fire again. And such intermittent firing has brought unexpected benefits, that is, after the bombardment, the enemy always wants to return to the position quickly, but soon the artillery strikes again. After such a few times, the enemy generally waits for a period of time. .

"Okay. Does everyone know our work?" Meng Du asked.

"I know the sir." Jin Da, the engineer squad leader, nodded and said. He is holding a blasting tube made of hollowed out bamboo, because it can speed up their filling of explosives, and they can directly put these things into the hole to quickly detonate.

"Okay. Work." Meng Du waved his arms, and then the five people quickly stepped forward. The first thing they looked for was the hole made by the shells. Then they took out some small cylindrical explosives. Stuffed and lit.

"Boom." There was a dull explosion. The entrance of the cave has expanded a lot. Immediately afterwards, they carried out a second blast.

"Boom." The explosion sounded.

"How is it?" Meng Du asked loudly.

"One more blast will do." Squad leader Jin shouted loudly.

"Swish." Just then. The artillery fired again.

"It seems we must stop." Jin San shouted again. The explosion began to sound. The wall of the Dawan people was almost unable to withstand the artillery attack.
