Valley Emperor

The weapons that the South Vietnam Kingdom is now equipped with are much better than those equipped in the Nanyang region. In the past, they only used cold weapons and arquebuses.

But after they arrived in Africa, according to a series of agreements they reached with the Tang Dynasty, the army of the South Vietnam Kingdom in Africa had abandoned the arquebus and replaced it with flintlock guns and newer smoothbore guns.

The water quality of weapons and equipment has been greatly improved than before.

All the ordnance they equip, even the military uniforms, are a series of ordnance and munitions specially developed and produced by Datang's national defense enterprises for export.

For example, the artillery equipped in the hands of the Nanyue Kingdom is the latest export model of Datang.

Although it is still a smoothbore gun, the performance is not to be said.

All kinds of smoothbore guns exported by Datang are made of iron barrels, which are cheaper and cheaper than the previous bronze barrels.

Moreover, Datang's iron and steel technology is not to be said, even if it is an iron cast artillery, the barrel life can be comparable to that of a bronze artillery, and the weight is also very light.

At the same time, the casting of the barrel is more sophisticated, which makes the range longer and more accurate.

Among them, it is specially developed for export. It is expected that the thirty-two-year-type 120mm field gun to be equipped by the army of various countries has a caliber of 120mm and a barrel of 14 times.

The effective killing range of the infantry column can reach more than 600 meters. The concept of this 600 meters is that the shells land 600 meters away, and they can still penetrate the entire queue of enemy infantry, with extremely high kinetic energy. Its power can be seen.

If you only talk about the accuracy of the hit and don't consider the kinetic energy of the solid shell, then its effective hit can reach between 900 meters and 1000 meters.

The weight of the entire gun is only about one ton. If the front trailer and the ammunition car are added, the weight of the entire gun group is only 1.6 tons.

Although such a smoothbore gun is naturally very poor for a series of rear-loaded rifled guns that have been running for several kilometers and even the old front-loaded rifled guns equipped by the Datang Army, it still makes the Datang military The export of this new smoothbore is restricted.

After all, this kind of smoothbore gun is already enough to threaten the army of Datang to some extent.

The export of this gun requires special approval from the Import and Export Committee. It can only be exported after obtaining the permission of the military, and the export is limited. At present, only about 200 guns have been exported, most of which are concentrated on the European battlefield. The main equipment is Spain, Portugal, France, Naples, the Kingdom of Sweden, etc. Each country has a small number of troops, a few less, and a dozen more.

The Spanish army with the most equipment has only more than 30 doors.

There are also a small number of targeted exports to several Southeast Asian countries that have relocated to Africa, including the Kingdom of South Vietnam, but the number is very small, only a few.

After all, this kind of artillery is a typical big killer in the era of smoothbore artillery. Its effective range and power greatly exceed that of smoothbore artillery of the same caliber in other countries. Buying too much will easily cause trouble to Datang itself.

In other contemporary countries, such as the 12-pounder guns of the same caliber cast by the Tatars or Europeans, even if they are cast in bronze, the effective range and lethality of the shells are far lower than this figure.

After all, the technological gap between them and Datang is too great.

It is also a smoothbore gun. The cost of Datang is lower, the power is greater, the range is longer, and even the life of the barrel is longer.

The artillery that Datang has exported in recent years is mostly the 30-year-old 90mm smoothbore gun. This thing has a caliber of only 90mm, a barrel 16 times, and a moderate weight, only more than 300 kilograms, and the effective range is not bad. , that is, the caliber is a little smaller, so the power is naturally a little worse, but it is also much stronger than the six-pounder guns of other countries.

This thirty-year-old 90mm smoothbore gun is also the Datang six-pounder gun in the European population, and it is the protagonist in the current global war.

The weight of the Datang six-pound gun is moderate, and the adaptability to the terrain is relatively strong, and the key point is that this thing is very cheap, and its performance is not bad, and it is very popular in various countries.

Even the Tatars obtained dozens of them from various channels, including smuggling, battlefield capture, etc., and formed several battalions of Tang six-pounder artillery.

As for imitation production!

They can be imitated in appearance, but the performance of the imitated artillery is far inferior to the original product produced by Datang.

In the final analysis, it is naturally because their metallurgy and processing technology are not good, and there is no way to imitate them.

It can't be copied, but this gun is easy to use, so naturally it can only be imported.

Therefore, this 30-year-old 90mm smoothbore field gun is the best-selling gun in the Tang Dynasty in the past five or six years, and it is exported in large quantities every year.

Today, in the army of the South Vietnam Kingdom in Africa, there are two artillery battalions equipped with two 90mm smoothbore guns, with more than 30 guns.

In addition to the artillery, the muskets equipped by the Nanyue Kingdom are also the Xuanping 15-year-style rifles of the Tang Dynasty. Organizations, the militia's standard guns, in the more than ten years of equipment history, only the official, that is, the regular army and law enforcement agencies, etc., have successively purchased and reserved more than three million pieces of equipment.

And that doesn't include private ownership!

In the overseas colonies, the number of civilian weapons is very large. Basically, every household will have a musket. If there are a few young men in the family who are incorporated into the militia, then there will be several muskets.

Anyway, in the overseas territories, whether it is a regular army, a militia, or even an ordinary young man, everyone has a 15-year-old rifle, so the overall data is very huge, and it is impossible to even count the specific number, because there are too many.

Almost all domestic companies with firearm production licenses have produced this musket, which once became the standard configuration of the Tang people in the eyes of indigenous people around the world.

This musket also became the prototype of the subsequent Tatars and Europeans to imitate the production of flintlock guns, with numerous variants.

In the next few years~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although Datang has been equipped with Mini rifles for a short time, the number of newly built and modified Mini rifles is only a few hundred thousand, and the influence is not too great, at best it is only in the It played a certain role in the Second Western Expedition.

The Mini rifles of the Datang Empire have not had time to fully replace the fifteen-year-old smoothbore rifles, and the Datang military has entered the era of rear-loaded rifles.

During the years of the Mini rifle era, a large number of muskets just started to go out of service and then go into storage.

In the current era of post-loading guns, the military basically retired all muskets.

So many muskets that have been retired, naturally cannot be left to rust. Datang renovated one or two casually, and bought these muskets all over the world.

That's how the fifteen-year musket of the South Vietnam Kingdom came about.
