Chapter 361
But their hot and eager eyes clearly told Su Cheng that they could not wait at all.
Su Cheng greeted Xue Rengui helplessly: "Go and bring my musket."
What is the musket that Su Cheng highly praised?
Xue Rengui rushed over with a musket and handed it to Su Cheng's hand. Everyone was still unconscious.
That is the musket that Su Cheng highly praised?
How shocked they were when they first saw the cannon!
That sharp shape! That huge body! It looks extremely powerful!
And what is the musket that Su Cheng praised more than cannons?
Why does it look like a fire stick?
"Is this a musket?" Li Shimin asked, looking at the stick in Su Cheng's hand.
"Why does your musket look like a fire stick?" Cheng Yaojin wondered.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others were also very suspicious. This looked like a stick, and it was a stick of unique shape. How to use such a stick? Will you hit someone when you hit the battlefield?
Li Shimin, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others knew that according to Su Cheng, muskets should be long-range weapons. The problem is that no matter how hard such a stick is, how powerful can it be?
"The range is more than one hundred steps, and the data that are too specific has not been tested yet..."
Before Su Cheng finished speaking, Li Shimin had already lost his voice: "What? The range is more than 100 steps?"
The others were also shocked and disbelief. Can a fire stick like this be shot more than a hundred steps?
How is that possible?
"This is impossible!"
"Your fire stick can shoot more than a hundred steps away? What about blowing?"
"Boy Su, is it true or false?"
...
Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked at the shocked look of their father and the generals. Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask, "Father, it's only more than a hundred steps. What's so shocking about this? The guards in the palace can shoot hundreds of steps and penetrate the sun."
Changsun Wuji smiled and explained: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, the guards in the palace are all carefully selected military experts, so your highness feels that shooting a hundred steps is nothing. In fact, the archers in the army can generally shoot sixty or seventy steps away. After passing sixty or seventy steps, they have no accuracy and no lethality."
Li Chengqian and Li Tai were shocked. Only when the bow and arrow could shoot sixty or seventy steps, but the musket could shoot one hundred steps away? Is this too strong?
They finally understood why the father and the generals in the court were so shocked!
Su Cheng continued to laugh and said, "The power is much greater than that of bows and arrows. Some people on the battlefield can continue to endure injuries and continue to kill the enemy if they are caught. However, if they are hit by muskets, they will lose their combat effectiveness even if they are not killed."
It is farther than the bow and arrow, and more powerful than the bow and arrow!
Cheng Yaojin said in shock: "This stick looks so pretty, it's so strong? It's a bit unreasonable to be strong!"
Everyone nodded unanimously. This is indeed unpredictable. It is farther than a bow and arrow shooting, and it is even more powerful. Then will the bow and arrow be eliminated from now on?
Li Shimin looked at Su Cheng's fire stick, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes. No wonder Su Cheng advocated muskets so much. This thing is also a magical tool!
Su Cheng continued: "And muskets are easy to use and are easy to train. It only takes one or two months to train qualified musketeers."
hiss!
Li Shimin and others couldn't help but breathe after hearing this, and were shocked by Su Cheng's words again!
It only takes one or two months to train a qualified musketeer? What does this mean? This means that at critical moments, large-scale recruitment can be recruited and a large army can be drawn in a very short time!
Su Cheng smiled and said, "However, muskets also have shortcomings, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!"
When Li Shimin and others heard that the musket had shortcomings, they breathed inexplicably relieved. The musket Su Cheng said just now was too scary, with a long range and great power!
When they heard Su Cheng say that there were shortcomings, they not only did not feel disappointed, but instead felt that it was real.
Li Shimin asked with a smile: "What are the shortcomings?"
Su Cheng explained: "The first is that the head is not accurate. This is a rifled musket, so the bullets fired cannot be as accurate as bows and arrows."
"Whether you can aim at people in the distance depends on your luck. There is a high probability that you will not hit. There will be no sharpshooter at all."
Li Chengqian and a group of civil servants couldn't help but talk.
"No matter how far you hit, no matter how powerful it is, what's the use of not being able to get accurate?"
"That's right, it's not enough to hit someone. No matter how powerful it is, it's useless!"
If it is really useless, how could Su Cheng be so proud of Muskets?
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Shit volley?"
Su Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, volleys, muskets are not accurate, but compared with those who are proficient in archery, most archers are not accurate in combat at long distances, so in fact, they are all relying on volleys!"
Cheng Yaojin and other generals immediately understood that the single muskets and soldiers were not good at fighting, but they could be used in volleys, and they would be stronger than bows and arrows.
"There is another disadvantage, that is, the filling of muskets takes time, and it is not as fast as the archers take arrows and shoot arrows. The advantage is that they do not waste their arm strength and can continue to shoot." Su Cheng explained.
After hearing this, everyone had a general impression of the musket. It had a long range and great power, but it was poor in accuracy and took time to load.
But listening to it a hundred times is worse than witnessing it with your own eyes. Li Shimin expects to say, "Try it quickly and see if it's as long as you told you, and it's powerful!"
"I only have a musket in my hand, and I can't shoot it in a volley, so the effect cannot be displayed in reality. It's better to wait for another month. After a month, I will let the soldiers of the Shenji Camp perform well for Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Cheng keenly saw Li Shimin's hand stance to lift it up.
Forget it, forget it, let you impatient local buns see the world.
Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "Xue Rengui, one hundred steps away, let the soldiers put dozens of targets on them and put them tightly."
Xue Rengui immediately agreed to go, and everyone else was shocked. Dozens of targets? Why do you have to put dozens of targets?
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "Put dozens of targets? Is the correctness of the musket so bad?"
This is not just a correct header, it is simply a lack of accurate header!
Su Cheng said with confidence: "It's not that the musket's accuracy is so bad, it's that the minister's accuracy is so bad!"
Puff! Cheng Yaojin and others couldn't help laughing.
Su Cheng said with confidence: "Why are you laughing at? I have only made the musket, and I haven't practiced it. Isn't it normal to have no accurate head?"
Chapter completed!
