On the question of whether to make a sword-shaped bayonet or a three-edged bayonet, Wang Xinyu and Chen Shuijie argued many times.

Wang Xinyu put forward his own opinion: "The triangular bayonet is powerful, and because the cross-section is triangular shape, the requirements for materials can be reduced, and it can be built without steel, and it can be poured with wrought iron for casting cannons, so that the mold can be used more and the cost is lower." ”

The three-edged bayonet is powerful, and Wang Xinyu is still more obsessed with this weapon, hoping to create a batch of three-edged bayonets and put it into use.

But Chen Shuijie retorted: "The triangular cross-section can reduce the material requirements, but it can't be reduced too much!" Otherwise, it would have been bent with only a few bayonets! After all, wrought iron is too soft, not steel! Sword-shaped bayonets can be made of steel, and the processing process is also simple and durable, and sword-shaped bayonets can be used as short swords to chop after being removed! ”

Wang Xinyu insisted on making a three-edged bayonet for wrought iron, and Chen Shuijie had to make a few samples for him.

On the other side of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, in a small artillery factory that had just been completed not long ago, Chen Shuijie and his apprentices rushed to make an iron mold for a three-edged bayonet. After the mold is made, the iron mold casting method is adopted, the molten iron is poured into the mold, and after it cools, the mold is opened, the poured bayonet is removed, and then the tip of the knife is sharpened. After that, the bayonet was fitted with a handle at the tail that could be inserted into the card slot, a handguard with a ring on it that could fit into the barrel, and then a bolt and screws were attached, and the bayonet was completed.

"Ma Chaoxing, you come and try this knife!" Wang Xinyu called another master, Ma Chaoxing.

Ma Chaoxing took a wooden holder with an extended gun that had just been reformed not long ago, hung a flintlock pistol with a card slot, took the three-edged bayonet from Wang Xinyu's hand, inserted the handle of the bayonet into the card slot, and at the same time the round hole above the gauntlet was just set on the barrel, and then twisted the screw knob at the end of the handle to fix the bayonet on the card slot.

"Thorn!" Ma Chaoxing roared and stabbed out. His strength was so great that the bayonet pierced the wooden target fiercely, and the one-inch-thick wooden target was pierced in one fell swoop, and sawdust flew sideways behind it.

Ma Chaoxing also pulled out lightly, pulled out the bayonet, and then let out another roar, and stabbed down again.

Someone brought a big fat pig, and when the fat-headed and big-eared guy saw a fierce man standing in front of him with a bad face and shiny metal in his hand, he knew that something was wrong, and screamed loudly and struggled, but its limbs were tied, and it couldn't break free.

"Try it and see!" Wang Xinyu pointed to the big fat pig and said to Ma Chaoxing.

"Thorn!" Ma Chaoxing raised the knife in his hand, and stabbed into the abdomen of the big fat pig, only to hear a scream like killing a pig, it was originally a pig killing, this knife went down, and the whole body of the fat pig was twisted and deformed in pain. As soon as Ma Chaoxing pulled out the bayonet, the pig was left with a small-looking, triangular wound, and blood spurted out at once, like a blood arrow, spraying on Ma Chaoxing's face, who had no time to dodge, and sprayed his face full of hot pig blood.

The fat pig screamed hoarsely, struggled, and moved its limbs, but after a while, as the blood was drained, it gradually stopped struggling.

"This knife is powerful! Even if the Tartar war horse comes, it is guaranteed to be stabbed to death with a single sword! Ma Chaoxing saw the power of this three-edged military thorn.

Chen Shuijie said: "You stab the ribs of the pig to see, remember to stab hard!" ”

Ma Chaoxing raised his bayonet and roared, stabbing it at the ribs of the pig, and the bayonet penetrated deep into the pig's body, but was stuck in the ribs. Although it was not a difficult problem for Ma Chaoxing, who was infinitely powerful, to pull out the bayonet, after he pulled out the bayonet, he saw that the bayonet had been bent.

"This wrought-iron bayonet is soft and not easy to break, but it is also too soft and easy to bend. If you go to the battlefield, how many bayonets do you have to prepare on a soldier? If it collides with other weapons, it is also easy to bend, after all, this is not a sword that has been refined and formed. Chen Shuijie said.

Wang Xinyu was still infatuated with the powerful power of the three-edged bayonet, so he asked unwillingly: "If the bayonet is cast with a mold, can it be forged with a hammer to improve the strength of the bayonet?" ”

Chen Shuijie picked up the bayonet that had been bent and deformed, pointed at the bayonet and said, "How do you let us forge such a shape?" ”

In the end, Wang Xinyu had to compromise and chose the short sword-type bayonet that Chen Shuijie said.

The bayonet is much easier to build, as long as you use the fallen steel left in the iron sink after casting the cannon, take out the steel, forge it by the blacksmith, and then carve the groove while it is hot, and make a bayonet.

Of course, the strength of fallen steel is not as strong as the strength of a pound of steel that can only be obtained by smelting thousands of catties of wrought iron, but it is a very good steel used to make swords, and it is a very good steel.

At present, the swords used by the Qiongzhou Army and the Zheng Jiajun are all made of fallen steel and then artificially made. After casting an iron cannon, dozens of catties of fallen steel can be obtained from the iron trough, and the problem of bayonets can be easily solved.

The fire in the blast furnace was blazing, and another cannon was cast. When the molten iron remaining in the iron tank cooled down, the craftsmen dug out the steel that had been solidified into steel sheets that had been left on the iron tank because of its large specific gravity and high melting point, and then heated it with a charcoal furnace, and after many beatings, a bayonet was formed.

While the bayonet was still red, one of Chen Shuijie's apprentices used a knife to carve two blood grooves on both sides of the bayonet, and then put the bayonet in cold water.

With a "pop", the color of the knife gradually faded, and a half-finished bayonet in the shape of a short sword was baked.

After that, the craftsman installed the handle and handguard, and then added the bolt and screw to fix it on the handle, sharpened the blade, and a bayonet with a cold light shining and sharpening iron like clay was completed.

may be to satisfy the three-edged bayonet that Wang Xinyu has always wanted, Chen Shuijie took matters into his own hands and specially created a three-edged bayonet for Wang Xinyu with fallen steel. Because the cross-section is triangular and difficult to build, Chen Shuijie spent a lot of effort and was so tired that he finally built a steel triangular bayonet for Wang Xinyu to play with.

The dagger bayonet went into mass production, and a bayonet with a sharp handle was baked. The flintlock muskets that had been sent to Dongfan for renovation were also brought back by ship and distributed to the musketeers along with bayonets, along with a new batch of guns.

On the school grounds, teams of musketeers lined up in a neat formation. Each musketeer had a short sword hanging from his waist, and he looked imposing.

"Brethren! Your guns and bayonets have been issued! After training for so long, now you've finally seen the real thing! Okay, now I'll show you how to put on a bayonet! Ma Chaoxing stood in front of the team and shouted.

Then Ma Chaoxing began to demonstrate: he first pulled out the short sword from the scabbard, stood up the musket, the hilt of the short sword was aimed at the card slot, the ring on the gauntlet was aimed at the muzzle, and the bayonet was loaded, the hilt of the sword was just stuck into the card slot, and the ring was set on the barrel. Then turn a knob on the hilt of the sword to secure the bayonet.

"That's it, the bayonet is ready! Demonstrate it all! Ma Chaoxing shouted.

The musketeers imitated Ma Chaoxing's movements, stuck their bayonets into the card slot, and quickly loaded their bayonets. In the blink of an eye, the hordes of musketeers turned into pikemen. With Ma Chaoxing's order to "hold a gun", a forest of snowy and shining bayonets appeared on the school field.

In the past half a year, every flintlock musketeer has gone through the most brutal stabbing training, the stabbing spear technique was taught to them by Hong Xiguan with a group of masters, although the stabbing technique is very simple, on stabbing, shaking, shaking up and down, parrying counterattack, but when it is really time to train, everyone is miserable by Hong Xiguan and them.

The trick seems simple, but it requires solid basic skills, and after many trainings, it can achieve eye disease and quick hands, and a move is a move.

Each of the musketeers had a sore arm and a pain all over his body.

This is not the hardest part, the most frightening thing for the musketeers is the combat training. The Musketeers and Musketeers trained well on their own, and they were able to fight each other for a few rounds. But every time they fought against a group of agents of the Heaven and Earth Society such as Hong Xiguan, they were almost knocked to the ground by someone with one move. Although they used wooden guns, and everyone was wearing cotton armor and rattan armor on the outside, Hong Xiguan and them had great strength, and when they were hit, they were bruised and knocked to the ground.

Of course, in more than half a year of stabbing training, the musketeers did not give up shooting training, and the flintlock pistols were temporarily taken away and transformed, and Wang Xinyu gave them bird guns to train marksmanship.

After the new bayonets were issued, Hong Xiguan and the others conducted new training for the musketeers: everyone required that they must stab the throat of the wooden target every time in the training to be effective.

"In actual combat, those elite Tartars are wearing heavy armor! If you don't stab them in the face and throat, your bayonets will hardly pierce their thick armor! Of course, in actual combat, everyone is lined up in a neat formation, some people stab their throats, and some people can also stab their hands and feet. But in training, I ask you to be accurate! Hong Xiguan shouted.

When he heard Hong Xiguan shouting to the soldiers, Wang Xinyu secretly said in his heart: "How good it would be if it was a three-edged thorn!" No matter how many layers of cotton armor the Tartar wears, it is a stab to the heart! ”

Wang Xinyu and Hong Xiguan have done many experiments, and they respectively used the triangular steel bayonet and the ordinary short sword bayonet specially made by Chen Shuijie to conduct stab training on multi-layer cotton armor. Triangular steel bayonets often pierce multiple layers of cotton armor with a single slash. A short sword-style bayonet requires a person with very strong strength to pierce through it with one sword, otherwise it can only pierce one or two layers, and the third layer is difficult to penetrate.

However, in team fighting, everyone fights in concert with each other, some people stab their throats, and some people stab their hands and feet. This kind of short sword-style bayonet with blood grooves on both sides is not small, and even if it is stabbed in the hands and feet, it is very uncomfortable.

"Kill!" The shouts of killing on the school field shook the sky. (To be continued.) )
