C695 god of war (1/2)

The reality proved once again that Xiao Letian had a bad taste. The thing that rose from the south of Osaka City was actually a hot air balloon!

The history of human use of hot air balloons dates back to the 18th century. After more than 100 years of development, hot air balloons have already begun to be used in the military field.

During the American Civil War, as well as the Poo War, hot air balloons were used as a battlefield investigation method. However, because the impact of hot air balloons on the weather environment was too strict, the military did not use them on a large scale.

Xiao Letian was the first person to bring the hot air balloon to Asia and show it to others. On the Golden-purple City's Grand Commission, the secret weapon that finally came out to intimidate the entire Beijing was the hot air balloon.

At that time, all of the experienced and knowledgeable officials of the capital were dumbfounded. They kneeled on the ground and kowtowed with all their might, thinking that a deity had arrived.

When the gigantic hot air balloon started to approach the Osaka City, everyone kneeled on the ground and called out the name of the God Buddha.

”What is this? What kind of god was in the sky! ”Look, the gods are smiling at us …”

That's right, there was a bizarre creature on the hot air balloon smiling at everyone. It was a blue leopard cat, with a round head and belly, and even its hands and feet were round.

There was a brass bell around his neck and a large bag on his white belly.

Xiao Letian was already laughing so hard that he couldn't even stand up, this was a joke that only he could understand, because the planet on top of the hot air balloon was the famous dream of the future!

Evil taste, it was really bad taste, today Xiao Letian was going to make the Doraemon dream become the nightmare of Japanese, the Doraemon was going to become the god that would punish Japan.

One of them added coal and waved a blower, while the other waved the red and yellow flag, sending the flag language to the fleet.

”The direction of the clock to the north is eleven o'clock. 45 degrees above the muzzle... ”A barrage of three consecutive shots …”

As the order was given, all the cannons on the right side of the ship started to adjust their angle. The high explosive projectile was filled to the brim, and with the pulling of the rope, the muzzle of the cannons exploded, releasing smoke and fire onto the sea surface.

The important officials of the Osaka City watched dumbfoundedly as the cannonball flew overhead. It drew a perfect parabola and exploded in the middle of the array formation of the Dechuan New Army.

”No …” What was going on? What was going on? They obviously can't see the situation on the battlefield, but why did they explode with such accuracy? ” Tokugawa Yoshinobu staggered and fell to the ground.

On the plains in the distance, there were only 12 rounds of artillery shells that had landed in the crowd and caused effective damage. However, the power of the High Burst Bombs was too great. After 12 explosions, the formation of the three companies was completely destroyed.

Xie Duowan and Minister of France who were on the southern side of the hill dropped their binoculars on the ground in shock, ”What? Xiao Letian's subordinates actually had such an elite gunner? Damn it, since when did these Asian yellow monkeys learn trigonometry and calculus? ”

There was nothing wrong with what he said at all. When the artillery technology had advanced to the era of musket guns, the projectile's flight path had not been parallel, but instead rotated. This method of flight allowed the projectile's trajectory to be very stable and its accuracy to increase exponentially.

In the past, there were always small gaps between the cannons of the cannons in the musket era. When the gunpowder exploded, the powerful thrust would cause the cannons of the cannons to crash back and forth, and the moment the cannons were fired, there would be an unfathomable deviation of one or two millimeters in direction.

A deviation of one millimeter from the muzzle of the cannon could be considered an error of ten or even a few dozen meters on the battlefield. That was why the trajectory of the musket was unpredictable.

However, the rifled cannon solved this problem. The rifling was like a small knife slicing through the surface of a cannonball, creating a spinning force. This method of flying was very stable. Since it was stable, there would be a place for mathematicians to use it.

Only by shooting blindly would artillery be able to become the god of the battlefield. artillery did not need to look at the battlefield, they only needed the observation post in front to provide them with a variety of data. Then, after a simple trigonometric calculation, people could adjust the position of the cannon.

Japanese could not understand what Xiao Letian was playing at right now, but the Frenchmen were all intelligent people, so they could tell with a glance that Xiao Letian had mastered the most advanced artillery technology in the world.

”My God! Why did you let such a monster appear in Asia? It's only been a few years! If he could chase her down to this extent, what could he do in the long run? The advantages of Europe will be lost! ”
