(I don't start coding until almost nine o'clock every day, and it's almost a little bit past two chapters.) Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoI have to go to work again on the second day, and I'm happy and painful! Looking at my hard work for the sake of the codeword, ask for a few collection recommendations, thank you! ）

When Zhu Daguang heard this, he was so surprised that he almost dropped his eyeballs, and said in disbelief: "What, six hundred steps away, farther than a winch bed crossbow?" How can it be! ”

Wang Shao listened to it and couldn't believe it. He had seen the power of the first rifle with his own eyes, although it was more penetrating than a bow and arrow, and it was quick to reload, but the range was not enough, and it could only be regarded as an ornament. How did it take just over a month to improve into such a sharp weapon?

Seeing that Zhu Daguang didn't believe it, the team of the musket team was asking someone to bring a wooden target and put it four hundred steps away. I saw him quickly untie the Hongxiang-style rifle behind him, check the performance of the rifle, and then load a conical lead bullet, pour gunpowder, and hold his breath and concentrate. With his legs apart, one in front of the other, he stood firmly and firmly against the shoulder socket with the butt of the gun, and obtained a stable fulcrum. At the same time, the left hand reached forward and held the upper mahogany under the barrel, and the right hand grasped the butt and put the index finger on the trigger, opened the safety, and the flint on the reed was in a state of preparation for firing. After preparing these, Peng Qing aimed at the target in the distance.

This team's name is Peng Qing, who was originally the number one marksman in the forbidden army, who could shoot a three-stone hard bow and pierce Yang in a hundred steps. He has a natural aptitude for shooting.

At first, he was transferred to this musket team, and he still didn't understand it. But anyone who has the ability to have a temper is always a little weird. Peng Qing is like this.

After being transferred to the musket team, he could no longer touch the bow and arrow, and he was also in a mood for this, and was regarded as a model by Di Qing, and the whole army circulated a notice of criticism, and he was also imprisoned for three days.

After he got out of the small black room, he found that many of the archers in the forbidden army had entered the musket team, and he began to wonder: "Could it be that the rifle that Di Jiaoxi said is really stronger than the bow and arrow?" No way, I've seen the Divine Arm Crossbow that I just distributed, and it can shoot four hundred paces away. What kind of rifle can this compare? ”

When he saw the power of the rifle with his own eyes, this idea was completely overturned. The power of the Hongxiang rifle is far beyond his imagination. It is a fact that the Divine Arm Crossbow can shoot four hundred paces away, but after two hundred steps, the target is almost gone. Even Peng Qing did not dare to guarantee that the arrows would hit the enemy's vital point two hundred steps away. The Divine Arm Crossbow can penetrate armor within 300 steps, and it is not blown. But after the arrow shot three hundred steps, the penetration power was not ideal. A little thicker armor, like the fine chain mail of the Forbidden Army, could not penetrate. Even if it is penetrated by chance, the lethality is limited.

And the power of the Hongxiang rifle, in long-range strikes, far exceeds that of the Divine Arm Crossbow. In terms of range, the most sophisticated Hongxiang rifle can cause effective damage within 600 steps, which is incomparable to the Divine Arm Crossbow. In terms of power, the Hongxiang rifle with conical lead bullets is well-made, and the power is almost the same as that of the prototype Mini gun in history, which can accurately hit within a distance of 400 steps, armor piercing within 500 steps is not a problem, and hitting the vital point within 600 steps can also cause damage.

In this comparison, Peng Qing fell in love with the Hongxiang rifle, even if it was not the most perfect, the flint ignition rate was only about seventy percent, and sometimes it would be misunderstood. But its unparalleled power beyond the times still made Peng Qing fall in love with it deeply. In the days of the musket team, Peng Qing was thinking about how to shoot accurately all the time, even when he ate and slept. Soon, his shooting level became the first in the entire musket team, and he was awarded by Di Qing himself, the most powerful Hongxiang-style rifle, which was the one he was holding in his hand now.

"Bang !!" A puff of white smoke immediately rose from the wooden target in the distance, and black smoke rose from the barrel of the gun at the same time.

Although he had been prepared, the sound after the black and gunpowder was ignited was still too loud, and Zhu Daguang couldn't help but rub his ears with his hands. Peng Qing was very confident in his marksmanship, and after firing a shot, he cleaned up the powder tank and barrel, and put away the rifle. At this time, a soldier had already brought the target.

When Zhu Daguang and Wang Shao looked at it, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. On top of the finger-thick wooden board, a deformed buckshot was deeply embedded in it. If it hits a person wearing armor, I'm afraid it won't be able to resist the power of this shot.

Peng Qing said with a smile: "This bar gun can break armor within 500 steps, but my shooting accuracy can only go to 400 paces, and if it is farther, I don't know where the bullet flies." Beyond 500 steps, the penetration effect will be greatly reduced, it is not a hit, and it will hardly do any damage to the person wearing the armor 0. ”

In fact, this is also the reason why Lu Chengqi vigorously develops steelmaking. Without a stiff and flexible barrel and a drawn rifling, the power of gunpowder could not be brought into play. If the barrel is made of wrought iron, I am afraid that after ten shots, the rifling will be smoothed out, and it will be almost useless. Even if steel is used, this kind of low-quality steel is only enough for this Hongxiang rifle to fire about 500 rounds. After a big war, I'm afraid that many rifles need to be reburned and redone, after all, it is not high-strength steel.

Zhu Daguang sighed: "If you give me 10,000 such rifles, I can sweep the entire Khitan!" Wang Shao is not as straightforward as Zhu Daguang, but he agrees with this sentence. But he knows that it is not easy to make rifles, and I am afraid that it will not be available in large quantities in a short period of time.

Wang Shao shook his head and said, "It's difficult, it's difficult!" General Zhu, it's almost dawn, let's go back to the city, the enemy still has 20,000 cavalry missing, if you rush out at this moment, our army is already a tired division, I'm afraid it will be defeated. "At this moment, the forbidden army has been assembled and can be mobilized.

Zhu Daguang nodded and said, "Go back to the city!" ”

Only then did the border army and the forbidden army recover from their shock and look at the rifle in Peng Qing's hand with envy. From the longing in their eyes, it was clear that they loved rifles. No way, what soldier doesn't love powerful weapons?

The border army pressed those Khitan prisoners, leading the horses one by one, and walked forward. Occasionally, some captives were disobedient, and these rude border soldiers did not have the military discipline of the forbidden army, so they immediately kicked over and kicked the Khitan captives to the ground. On the other hand, he also scolded: "You Khitan dogs, you can be regarded as a miserable grandfather, and you haven't slept well for several days!" You should be unlucky today, you met your grandfather, let you see, what is called war! Otherwise, you don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has, how powerful your grandfather is! ”

Such playful words made the forbidden soldiers laugh and fell. Fortunately, the military discipline of the forbidden army is very strict, and there is no chaotic formation.

It took only a quarter of an hour to reach five miles. At this time, Liu Yuanchang, the governor of Youzhou, had already put on his official uniform and lined up to welcome the triumphant return of these victorious warriors.
