Galdan laughed disapprovingly: "What's so hard about this? We Mongolian warriors can also shoot on horses! ”

The Dzungar Mongols had many rakshasa muskets in their hands, and the best of them could also shoot at a distance of 100 steps. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Mongols, who were good at archery on horseback, used muskets on horseback, and they were also walking through the poplars.

However, Galdan's smile quickly froze on his face, and he saw the Ming army on horseback press the butt of the gun, and the chamber of the gun fell down, and an object fell. Then the Ming army took out a bullet from the bullet pouch on his waist, stuffed it into the chamber of the gun, pressed the butt of the gun again, then turned the muzzle of the gun, and rode his horse to chase after a running yellow sheep.

"Bang" Another gunshot rang out, and the yellow sheep fell to the ground.

Before the stunned Galdan came back to his senses, the Ming cavalry finished loading again, and another shot rang out, and another yellow sheep's head spurted blood, and one fell on the grassland.

"So fast! In just ten breaths, three shots have already been fired in a row! Galdan sighed.

Li Guangdi asked the wooden box to be opened and took out a breech-loading rifled gun from inside. Li Guangdi took the gun from the soldier's hand and presented it to Galdan with both hands: "Great Khan, this is the kind of gun, please look at it." ”

Galdan took the gun and flipped it back and forth a few times in his hand, only to see that the length of this new musket that he had never seen was not very long, only two-thirds of the length of the Rakshasa musket, and it was not as long as the bird gun used by the Ming and Qing armies. Looking at the tail of the gun, there was no arquebus, and there was no flint engine, so Galdan could not figure out how the gun was fired.

"This gun is loaded from behind." Li Guangdi pressed the butt, and the butt and barrel formed a right angle, revealing the chamber behind it.

"Bullets." Li Guangdi turned around and said.

A soldier next to him handed the bullet, and Li Guangdi stuffed the bullet into the chamber, and then pressed the butt, and the butt became a straight line with the barrel. Then he picked up the gun, aimed at the grass in the distance and pulled the trigger, only to hear a "bang" gunshot, the muzzle of the gun spewed fire, and a light blue smoke came out of the muzzle.

Li Guangdi's marksmanship was indeed not very good, he originally aimed at a hare that had just poked its head out, but it did not hit the target, and the frightened hare disappeared as soon as it slipped through the smoke.

"Hey, the marksmanship is ugly!" Li Guangdi shook his head.

"Let me try!" Galdan took the gun.

A Ming sergeant on the side handed a bullet bag, and Galdan took the bullet bag and carried it on his back. Then he stepped on the war horse, imitating the movements of the Ming army, loaded the man with a bullet with his hands and feet, and then waved the whip, and the war horse spread its hooves and galloped. Galdan chased after the flock of yellow sheep in the distance.

"Bang" a lamb fell.

When the ewe saw the lamb fall, she stopped and stood by the lamb's carcass and refused to go. When he saw that the ewes would not leave, the rams would not leave. At this time, Galdan loaded his bullets, and with another "bang", the ewe fell.

Galdan loaded a new bullet and calmly shot at the ram, knocking the ram down.

"Great Khan good marksmanship!" The Mongols shouted congratulations.

Galdan laughed: "It's better to have a gun!" If it weren't for the fact that the gun was so fast, that it could be so fast, and that it could be loaded on the back of a galloping horse, it would not have been possible to knock down the three yellow sheep at once. Also, what came out of this gun was green smoke, not white smoke, which is also strange, what kind of gunpowder was used? ”

"New gunpowder, no white smoke." Li Guangdi replied.

Chen Shuigen rode his horse and ran back, and when he arrived in front of Galdan, he turned over and dismounted: "Great Khan has good marksmanship!" Why can't I kill three yellow sheep at once? Kill one and run away, at most catching up with the second. ”

Galdan laughed and said: "This fight the yellow sheep, you also have to have a trick, first hit the lamb, the lamb is killed, the ewe will not run." When the ram sees that the ewe does not run, it will not run. This way, you can end it in one go. If you kill the ram with the first shot, the ewe runs away with the lamb. If the first shot kills the ewe, the ram runs away with the lamb. ”

"Five hundred quick guns are a gift from our commander to the Great Khan. There are not many such weapons in our army, and there are only more than 3,000 in total. Li Guang said.

Galdan asked, "Even with 500 muskets, they can't compete with the Rakshasas." The Rakshasas have great artillery, they have more cavalry and more muskets. ”

"It's okay!" Li Guangdi smiled and said, "This is the best breech-loading rifled gun of the five hundred, and it is just a gift from us." And we can trade with each other, and we sell you other muskets. ”

With that, Li Guangdi turned his head and asked a soldier to fetch a Mini rifle.

The current Mini rifle is not a rarity in the Qiongzhou army, the original old-fashioned smoothbore guns have been rifled, and the production of rifled guns is not difficult, but the difficulty is the manufacture of bullets. Only the Nanyang Company, which uses a machine to produce it, can make a Mini pop-up. Without Mini rounds, rifled guns, which were extremely slow to reload, would not have been able to withstand the onslaught of cavalry.

Galdan took the Mini rifle and looked at it carefully, and found that this gun was similar to the Rakshasa flintlock pistol, except that rifling was engraved in the barrel, and there was a bayonet card slot under the gun, which could be used to insert a bayonet.

Breech-loading rifled guns were not equipped with bayonets, because breech-loading rifled guns were currently used as carbine equipment for cavalry, and cavalry used sabers in melee combat without bayonets.

However, Galdan took the bullet from the Ming sergeant, only to find that the bullet of this gun was different, not the spherical bullet used in the smoothbore gun, but the conical bullet, and the bullet was also packaged in a paper bullet case, but the tail had to be bitten. Because the caliber of the bullet is smaller than the barrel, it is faster to load than a smoothbore gun.

Galdan loaded a bullet, picked up the gun, turned the muzzle, aimed at a bird flying in the air, and gently pulled the trigger, only to hear a gunshot, the muzzle of the gun spewed out a puff of white smoke, and the small bird fell to the ground.

"Although this gun is not as fast as the rear loading gun, this gun is very accurate! Can shoot down birds up to 100 paces away. Galdan exclaimed.

Li Guangdi replied: "This kind of gun is the standard equipment of our Qiongzhou army, and now all the infantry have to change this kind of gun, and the more difficult thing is that the supply of bullets cannot keep up, and the bullets of this gun are made of special molds." We can supply you with this weapon, and we can provide you with five thousand front-loading rifled guns, each with a hundred rounds of new ammunition. However, the cannons are more difficult to transport, and we are unable to provide them for the time being. ”

"What else do you have to trade with us besides weapons?" Galdan asked.

"At the moment all transport is dependent on camels, and the priority is weapons. In addition to weapons, we can provide you with commodities such as iron, salt, grain, cloth, silk, and tea, which you exchange for cattle and sheep from the grasslands, as well as minerals. Li Guangdi stroked his beard and replied.
