Chapter 388

In the huge official hall of the Chicheng Procuratorate, Zhang Cheng listened to Shi Tiegen, the head of the Yunzhou Craftsman Battalion, report on the assembly of the new guns.

Shi Tiegen had just reported the Yunzhou blunderbuss, and the preparation of various artillery, chariots, and carts, and then reported armor, knives, spears, banners, golden drums, military uniforms, and so on.

Zhang Cheng listened to Shi Tiegen's report, thought for a moment, and then said: "Yunzhou blunderbuss one style, your craftsman camp will prepare another 110 eight rods, enough for a fire soldier, and then directly deliver it to Chen Zheng's single stone Just camp.

There is another No. [-] gun that needs to be produced quickly. At least [-] guns are needed. First, the left part of the luggage car needs to be fully equipped, and then the right part of the luggage car needs to be assembled. "

"Here!"

"Well, let's talk about these new-made firecrackers now. What do you have to say after the test shooting in the craftsman camp?" Zhang Cheng asked about the new-style firecrackers at this time.

Shi Tiegen got up and walked to the wooden frame in the middle of the official hall, he took down a short blunderbuss, and said: "This blunderbuss is one chi three inches long, the barrel is one chi long, and the muzzle is slightly larger, in the shape of a trumpet.

The advantage is that it uses a self-propelled bolt and does not need a matchlock to ignite. No matter the wind or rain, it cannot be blocked from firing, and its range can reach nearly [-] steps, and it can break through heavy armor within [-] steps. "

"Thirty steps can break heavy armor?"

Hearing this, Zhang Guangda stood up straight away. He stepped forward and took down a short blunderbuss in his hand, watching over and over again. Shi Tiegen next to him smiled and said:
"Exactly, I have tried it many times in Yunzhou. Not only can it break through heavy armor in thirty steps, but this gun is easy to fire, rain or shine, and there is no need for a match to ignite it. It relies on flint to ignite the pool of fire."

"This blunderbuss looks really good, but the barrel is missing." Zhang Guangda said.

The rest of the generals also stepped forward at this time, Chen Zhong also took a short gun, and said: "If the soldiers are equipped with this gun at night, it will be much more convenient. When encountering an enemy, you can take it out and shoot immediately." Shooting makes it difficult for the enemy to guard against."

Zhang Cheng also came out from the big case, and before the crowd, he said, "It's not just that you don't accept it at night, think about it, if our cavalry put two holsters on each side of the saddle,

When in battle, ride your horse and run close to the enemy's formation, take out the blunderbuss and shoot immediately, after shooting, insert them back into the holster, and directly take another cold weapon to fight against the enemy.

This blunderbuss seems to have two barrels less than the three-eyed blunderbuss, but it is easier to shoot, the shooting distance is better than that of the three-eyed blunderbuss, and its power is stronger than that of the three-eyed blunderbuss. It is a sharp weapon suitable for cavalry. "

Everyone also felt that Zhang Cheng's words were very reasonable, and they echoed for a while. At this moment, Chen Zheng actually took down a long gun and asked, "Boss Shi, can this gun be fired without a match?"

Shi Tiegen also took a long blunderbuss in his hand with a smile, and introduced: "Exactly, this blunderbuss is the self-generating blunderbuss created by the commander-in-chief Zhao Shizhen. Like the short blunderbuss of the mobile phone, it is a flint-fired bolt and does not need a matchlock. , Rain or shine, you can hit and release at any time, it is indeed more time-saving and labor-saving than the bird gun."

But Zhang Cheng asked: "How powerful is this self-generated fire blunderbuss, may it be compared with the Yunzhou blunderbuss?"

"Reporting to the commander, after the test shooting, the power is no less than that of the Yunzhou blunderbuss, and because there is no need for a match to start the fire, the sergeant does not need to worry about the match being burned out when he is on guard, and it is not hindered by the wind and rain. The position of the matchlock is brightly exposed. However, it relies on the shrapnel to stimulate the flint to ignite the medicine pool, so it is especially important for the strength of the sergeant's index finger." Shi Tiegen replied.

After he finished speaking, he took another long gun, and said to Zhang Cheng: "Commander, this is what you call an electric gun, and it is a kind of repeating gun researched by Zhao Shizhen after considering the shape of the Flang machine gun.

It is six feet long and weighs five catties. It also uses a self-propelled action without a matchlock. However, this gun is equipped with five sub-guns. Each sub-gun is six inches long, weighs about ten taels, and contains gunpowder. billiards two coins,
There is a small round mouth in the front of the sub-gun, and a flat square tenon in the back. There is an eye in the tenon, which is used to receive the nails, so as to prevent the front from hitting and sitting back. Hence the name of the electric gun. "

"Is this thing made like a French machine?" Cui Shijie held up an electric gun and watched it.

Shi Tiegen said again: "The advantage of this electric gun is that it can be fired fast enough, but the disadvantage is also obvious. After the sub gun is installed, it is not tightly sealed, and the air leakage makes the shooting distance not as far as that of the bird gun, and its power is slightly inferior."

Zhang Cheng didn't care about this, he said in a deep voice, "Go, let's shoot a few guns outside."

After Shi Tiegen received the order, he immediately went out of the hall and called in a team of gun-testing sergeants he brought from Yunzhou. Everyone took their guns and lined up out of the hall.

When Zhang Cheng led the officers and generals out of the official hall, all the sergeants had lined up to meet each other.

Fortunately, the central hall of the procuratorate is very spacious, with a distance of a hundred paces to the left and right, which is barely enough for a test fire. Li Changsheng ordered people to carry rows of human-shaped targets.

Everyone walked to the east, but Zhang Guangda went straight to the sergeant who was in charge of shooting the gun. He grabbed a short gun with a mobile phone and said, "This guy is new, let Lao Zhang shoot it himself."

The sergeant had no choice but to briefly explain the shooting method to him, then turned and walked to the side.

Zhang Guangda fought in a row with four other sergeants, but his eyes were looking at the human-shaped target [-] paces away, when he suddenly heard the team officer of the test firing sergeant shout: "Short gun, shoot!"

"boom……"

"boom!"

Zhang Guangda was a little surprised, and he fired the gun slowly. After the other four sergeants raised the gun to shoot, he raised and lowered the mobile phone short gun, but he failed to fire the first time. It turned out that he was not used to the flintlock. The trigger was too weak to move the trigger. In desperation, he had to increase his strength and move it again before he fired.

There were four explosions from the five shot guns, and one shot failed to fire, but even so, everyone had no doubts. After all, no matter how good the shotgun was, it often had the problem of misfiring.

Everyone approached the wooden target and watched carefully. Three of the human-shaped targets fifty steps away were cracked by bullets. Five short guns fired four bullets. , without any preparatory work.

"Marshal Du, this short blunderbuss is really convenient. As the commander said, if the cavalry use this blunderbuss, it is indeed better than the three-eyed blunderbuss." Zhang Guangda said excitedly, but the short blunderbuss in his hand was no longer handed over. After returning, he pulled a sergeant over and began to ask for advice on how to load and other things.

Zhang Cheng shook his head, and said, "Let's try shooting a spontaneous fire blunderbuss!"

Another five sergeants took a step forward. They reloaded quickly, their movements were extremely skillful, uniform, and after reloading, they all raised their guns and aimed at a row of human-shaped targets more than [-] steps away on the opposite side.

"Spontaneous firecrackers, shoot!"

Following the sound of drinking, there was a burst of explosions, and the same as before, it was also smoke, but the smoke seemed to be slightly lighter than the smoke of the matchlock gun.

Four of the targets eighty steps away were hit, and all of them shattered, which shows that its power is by no means weaker than Yunzhou Gunyi Style.

　Lin Chen wrote a historical paper "The Chinese: Ancestors of the Indians".

　　Unexpectedly, it came true.

　　Subsequently, he published papers one after another, and the dusty history was confirmed one by one.
　　Lin Chen said helplessly: "Actually, I'm really guessing."
