Chapter 18 Chuang Wang Ling Lai (Remastered)

Before he knew it, three days passed. During these three days, everyone abides by military orders. Apart from acting, eating and sleeping, they almost never leave the camp. Although Li Zicheng issued a ban on Li Xin's suggestion, the military discipline was loose, and there were still some women who were passing on food and wine. These old women were very chaotic and did not care about any orders, and they came the next day.

Regarding Li Xin’s two suggestions, the first one is that everyone thinks it is a nerd disease and nonsense, and no one is willing to be restrained. The second one causes controversy, and a considerable number of leaders agree.

In fact, this suggestion is also beneficial to them. After all, not everyone is Li Chuang. He has the ambition to be an emperor, can live a comfortable life in Nanyang, and reaches an agreement with the court to not violate each other. Why not do it?

Li Zicheng had a great headache, and his murderous intent towards Li Xin was even more serious than in the past.

Early that morning, in Li Xin's camp, there were soldiers coming to report that the pelleted gunpowder had been made. Li Xin was overjoyed and hurriedly took people over to check it out.

There were two bamboo baskets in the center of the schoolyard, one was ordinary gunpowder and the other was pelleted medicine. The two pulp grabbed a handful of them, smelled them, and muttered: "How is it the same as rat shit."

Li Xin laughed and scolded: "Damn your mother, can you speak human words? If you believe it or not, put on iron armor and use pellets to blow you out a hole?"

Erju scratched the back of his head, smirking without saying a word, but his expression clearly didn't believe it.

"First use ordinary medicine, forty steps, fifty steps to hang armor and fight each other!"

In the Ming Dynasty, it was 1.2 meters in modern times, and Li Xin ordered his left and right.

Several soldiers brought wooden frames and hung iron armor at a distance of 40 and 50 steps respectively.

Two more aircraft soldiers picked up their bird guns, filled them with gunpowder, and marbles, clumsy and slow, and Li Xinshi shook his head when he saw them.

The frequency of a skilled soldier driving a flintlock rifle is generally between two and three rounds per minute, and the medley is a little slower, one or two rounds, but it took these two people a minute and a half to prepare.

However, it is not surprising that the Ming army's military discipline was abolished and the guns were shoddy. The status of soldiers was very low, especially the lower ones. Because the combat was based on the head of the man, the armed forces were fired from behind, and it was not their turn to steal the man's head if they killed them. No one would train carefully. It was almost the same, just make a living.

Fortunately, these two people still had accurate heads, and after two bangs, they all hit.

The iron armor was less than 50 meters away, and only a white mark was made at a distance of 50 steps away, while the distance of 60 meters away, only a white mark was made.

This is the power of the bird gun at that time. Not to mention that compared with the heavy muskets in Europe during the same period, they can penetrate plate armor at a distance of 80 meters, they are far inferior to bows and arrows.

But everyone looked like they were used to it, just looking at the basket of pills curiously.

Li Xin ordered: "The second team, fill it with pellet pills, and move the target to sixty and eighty steps respectively!"

The crowd suddenly became riots.

Although the bow and arrow can shoot hundreds of steps, for sharpshooters, how many sharpshooters are there in the world? Most archers have only an effective range of fifty steps. Even if Jianlu is good at riding and shooting, he will not exceed this standard.

You should know that fifty steps are about 60 meters, which is equivalent to both ends of a standard stadium. People stand on one end and shoot arrows at the other end. The target is just a slightly larger point, and is affected by various factors such as airflow, wind speed, battlefield interference and psychological state. It is not easy to accurately hit the target outside the fifty steps.

And now, he actually used a bird gun to shoot sixty and eighty steps?

The two of them were a little nervous and stabbed the marble for a few times without stabbing it in.

Li Xin comforted: "This is not the accuracy of your school test, but the power of the pellet pills. It doesn't matter if you don't hit it, you can shoot a few more shots."

"oh!"

The two of them got better, took medicine, and targeted the target.

"Bang!"

The first person shot!

After the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, someone called out at the sixty-step target, "Young Master, shoot through the iron armor!"

"What?"

Everyone was moved.

The distance between sixty steps was shot through the iron armor? Does this mean that you can resist the archer with a musket?

In the battle between the Ming army and the Jianlu, Jianlu was wearing cotton armor and defeated the Ming army's muskets. In addition to the powerful three-eyed gun, ordinary bird guns cannot be penetrated, which is far inferior to bows and arrows. The defects of the three-eyed gun are also obvious. The effective range is only about twenty steps, and the loading is extremely difficult. You can only shoot one shot on the battlefield.

"Young Master, please see!"

The man ran back quickly with his iron armor.

Everyone hurriedly looked up.

I saw a radial round hole with an adult finger width at the hem of the iron armor, with rough edges, obviously ejected through lead.

"Everyone!"

Li Xin shouted: "I have told these brothers that in the future, firearms are king. As long as there are enough guns, no matter how many enemies he has, who will attack first, will he be killed? If we have tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of aircraft soldiers standing in several rows of volleys, anyone who is the enemy of us will also be here to die. Do you still have confidence in the future?"

"have!"

Everyone was very excited and shouted in unison.

Not far away, Zhou, who was shoulder to shoulder with the Matchmaker, also looked strange and said in surprise: "Matchmaker, your Mr. Li is really capable. Just process the gunpowder into particles, and the power of the musket will be even greater. Look at him being brave and knowledgeable, brave and resourceful, maybe, he can really sit in the future. You will be indispensable for the position of a magistrate of the Palace. Congratulations to you first, sister."

"Sister Zhou, what are you talking about?"

The Hongmao's pretty face was red and her heart was filled with joy. But for some reason, the idea of ​​Li Xin being possessed by the fox fairy came out again.

Sun Di hummed unconvincedly: "What's the matter? Mom, with your ability, you can trick the bird gun, it may not be worse than pellet pills."

"oh?"

The beautiful eyes of Hong Niangzi showed surprise.

"Children, just talk nonsense!"

Zhou smiled slightly.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, another gunshot was extremely accurate. It actually shot the iron armored heart eighty steps away. Unfortunately, it didn't penetrate it, leaving only a pit, but it was not easy. After all, it was eighty steps away. If you don't wear armor, you will have to leave a blood hole even if you don't die.

After two shots, the whole army's confidence increased greatly. Taking advantage of the enthusiasm, Li Xin promptly popularized the knowledge of fixed ammunition and wrapping projectiles with linen soaked in grease, which could speed up the loading speed and hold air, and the accuracy and range could be improved accordingly.

The aircraft immediately started to make paper-packed ammunition, and Li Xin asked the matchmaker to ask the women in the army to help. Unfortunately, there were too few guns, including the three-eyed gun, which made people quite helpless.

"Young Master, your son!"

At this time, Erju ran from outside and called out: "The King of Chuang has a commander to come."

"Oh? I feel sorry for us to eat and drink for nothing?"

Li Xin looked at the generals behind him with a smile and said, "Please come in!"

"Get orders!"

Erfu clasped his fists and left.
