C552 Gatling machine gun (1/2)
The Gatling Machine Gun was designed by the Americans Richard Jordan Gatling in 1860 and put into action during the American Civil War. It was introduced in different times and was still active on the battlefield until the later generations of American troops fought the Gulf and the war on terror.
In the real history, in 1874, around thirteen years after Tongzhi's entry into China, Gatling machine guns were called ”Green Cannons” or ”Green Cannons”. However, with Xiao Letian, the Transcender guarding them, this classic spear would naturally not escape his clutches. In order to protect Ryukyu and him, Xiao Letian had already placed an order with the United States in the spring.
Maybe it was because the American Civil War had just ended, and everyone was too busy trying to produce this weapon, or maybe it was because the politicians in Washington were too reluctant to sell Xiao Letian this kind of battlefield weapon. In any case, the four Gatling machine guns that were supposed to be in stock in the summer had dragged it on for 4 months until Xiao Letian returned to the Ryukyu before the old captain of the United States, Dan Nier, brought it to the Ryukyu.
When humans invented machine guns, Middle Age's battle mode would never have the chance to turn the tables again. When the sound of the Da Gu Kou's cannons firing rang out, the four scythes of Hell opened its jaws wide to reap everything.
”Brother from the Green Camp, get down … Everybody down... The Gatling opened fire … ”
”Cross Fire... Leave no blind spot... ”Every single one of the attackers …”
Tuk, tuk, tuk … The intense sounds of gunfire were like a storm hitting the enemy tide. No matter how fast the horsemen were, they couldn't be faster than bullets. This one-sided massacre immediately scared everyone to death.
The four fire dragons intersected with each other like a machine on a battlefield. Wherever they pointed, bullets would be stuffed in and the enemies would be left lying in a pool of blood.
Sima Yun, Luo Huo, Bing Tai and Bing Tai Lang were each guarding a machine gun position. Their legs were slightly spread apart and each of them had a White Gloves on their hands, so it was obvious that they had learnt it from the European aristocracy military officers.
With one hand holding the telescope and the other holding the command blade at his waist, Sima Yun observed the situation on the battlefield coldly. ”Very good, very good, this kind of rapid fire gun is indeed a sharp weapon for the assault in the battlefield, this type of weapon is very suitable for the Prime Minister's Marine Corps, we need to purchase a large amount of them …”
”Good boy, the firepower is bigger than the rifle, and the weight is lighter than the artillery. Four men can carry it and run all over the mountain. This really is a weapon used by special forces to assault people!”
Just as Sima Yun was praising her, the Gatling in front of him suddenly stuck its shell.
”Idiot, how many times have I told you to shake the crank at a constant speed? You were confused by such a small matter? ” A Company Commander beside the archer rushed forward and cursed.
Sima Yun frowned, ”Zhao Yidao! It's you again, you think you can scold people? Remember, we are testing a new weapon, so occasional malfunctions are unavoidable. The Prime Minister said before that this kind of Gatling would be easy to trap, and must be controlled by veterans.
Zhao Yidao's neck shrank as he laughed and snatched away the location of the shot and began to reload the bullet chain. However, just at this moment, a few loud shouts suddenly sounded out from the crowd of dead people in the shooting position. Four to five figures jumped out.
”Rebel …” Give me your life! ” Unexpectedly, these were a few of the Eight Flag soldiers. They had feigned death in the midst of the shooting just now and hid themselves among the corpses.
Now that the Gatling was stuck, the man with the White Gloves could tell that it was her superior. The uniform was even more gorgeous than the soldiers, so maybe she was a general.
Several of the Eight Banner soldiers were also vicious. They took this opportunity to attack with their blades. ”Kill this traitor …” ”Kill these bastards!” was screaming so noisily that Sima Yun had to dig his ears out. Looking at the ugly faces and the little tongue inside his throat, Sima Yun felt extremely disgusted.
Sima Yun was too lazy to even speak, he extended the Snow White Gloves's index finger and lightly shook it towards the enemies. His meaning was very obvious: 'You guys can't do it'.
There are only five steps between us. Even if I had been shot, I could have cut you with a knife. ”Even stones perish together …”
Amidst twisted roars, the sound of Katana being unsheathed suddenly sounded out from the shooting position. ”Duck …” ”Protect the general!” In the dark night, six flickering flames from Katana hacked over, instantly forming a small Katana formation.
A meter long Katana was extremely sharp, adding on to that, the six of them slashed at the same time, using their battle formation to fight back. The few Eight Flag soldiers felt their bodies go cold, followed by endless pain.
His head fell to the ground, and his last bit of consciousness was to watch his body shatter into three pieces, his internal organs flowing down like a waterfall.
Sima Yun didn't even bother to look at these ambushers, he only took out the White Gloves regretfully, because there were a few drops of smelly blood splattered all over it.
The Death Soldier Assault was only a small episode on the battlefield, and very quickly, the Gatling that Zhao Yidao was controlling began to release fire again, and under the deafening gunshots, Zhao Yidao shouted out.
”The American engineer said... There's a flaw in this crank wiggling heavy machine gun... ”That is, you have to move at a constant speed to ensure that you don't get stuck …”
”And new recruits can't control this weapon... Because their mental fortitude was not as good as others … Fuck, I, Zhao Yidao can also speak official language now... Do you know what psychological qualities are? ”Hahaha …”
”So you guys are facing a mountain of corpses and a blood rain …” Facing the charging cavalry... Even if the other party is a monster from hell, your hearts cannot be thrown into chaos … you have to give me a steady, even shake crank... Only in this way can you win! ”
