"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The gunfire rang out incessantly, very intensively. 【】

Many people's eardrums were buzzing and they hurriedly covered them. Because the chamber pressure of smokeless propellant is very strong, several times greater than that of black gunpowder, the sound of the bullet is very shocking, as if it is being bombarded by a cannon. Some of the unprepared fighters, or the testers, couldn't help but cover their ears. As a result, Xu Xingxia glanced at it and hurriedly let go. To be honest, the eardrums are always vibrating them, and they feel that today's test is simply suffering.

The chaser fighters, who were responsible for shooting and shooting, were naturally the most painful. The loud sound of the Han-style rifle is really too impactful. From the first bullet out of the chamber, their ears were already shocked to the point that they could barely hear it. After ten bullets, their ears were already in a semi-deaf state. Even if you talk to their ears, they can't hear it. The only thing you can communicate with them is gestures or other body language.

The strong recoil of the Han-style rifle also made the chaser warriors who tested the firearms miserable. The original Moon Gun had almost no recoil, and there was no problem with dozens of shots in a row. However, the recoil of the Han-style rifle is too powerful. It's a stupid big black and thick Han rifle, and there is almost no setting to counteract the recoil. After dozens of bullets were fired in a row, the shoulder sockets of some of the chasseur soldiers were completely bruised.

"Pay attention to my movements." Xu Xingxia had to go into battle in person to demonstrate the norms for the use of Han-style rifles. Under his teaching, the warriors of the Chasseurs finally mastered the basic shooting essentials and were not so afraid of recoil. However, after hundreds of bullets, it must have been back pain, sore legs and weak feet, and deaf ears. There was no way, Xu Xingxia had to change another batch of chaser warriors and take turns to test the surname of the firearm.

After five days of continuous testing, the data on the Han rifle finally had a complete outline. Whether it is the soldier who participated in the test or the technician who is responsible for recording the data, he has a new understanding of the Han-style rifle. They all gradually realized that this epoch-making weapon would play a huge role in future wars. No wonder Xu Xingxia worked hard to study it. Its lethality is really terrifying.

There is no doubt that even the breech gun, which is not as good as the technology, will completely surpass the Yueyue gun in terms of rate of fire. The metal bullet with the warhead and propellant fixed together greatly reduces the time for reloading. Regardless of the situation, it can be reloaded. You can reload while lying on the ground, and you can reload while lying on the ground. Even on horseback, reloading bullets did not have the slightest difficulty. This was crucial for the cavalry.

Moreover, the magazine of the Han-style rifle has a reserve of ten rounds, which greatly reduces the number of reloads. Basically, as long as the gunner himself grasps it, ten rounds are completely sufficient. If you are worried that it will not be enough, you can always find an opportunity to replenish it at any time, and try to ensure that the number of bullets in the magazine will not be less than five. As long as there are more than five bullets in the magazine, even if you suddenly encounter a large number of enemy sieges, you can get out smoothly.

Judging by the results of the tests, even a less skilled gunner, in the space of a minute, could shoot twenty rounds. If it is a well-trained gunner, in the space of a minute, it can shoot even thirty rounds. This is an achievement that breech guns will never do. With Han-style rifles, the cavalry of the white-clothed army will not be at a disadvantage, even if it is one-on-one.

The biggest headache for the cavalry of the white-clothed army at present is that the opponent no longer confronts the cavalry of the white-clothed army head-on, but changes to guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare and the like, and specially selects small groups or lone white-clothed cavalry to encircle and chase and intercept. The moon gun currently used by the cavalry of the white-clothed army is indeed powerless in such a battle. However, if there is a Han-style rifle, then there is no need to worry at all. A Chinese-style rifle is worthy of half a squad.

However, in terms of shooting accuracy, the performance of the Han-style rifle seems to be a little far from Xu Xingxia's requirements. Judging by the results of the tests, at a distance of fifty meters, the shooting accuracy of the Han-style rifle was quite acceptable. Basically, there is no problem in killing the opponent. However, beyond fifty meters, the hit rate is a bit miserable. If it's more than a hundred meters...... Its results are not even as good as those of the moon.

The main reason for the review is the processing quality. At that time, the lathes were very primitive, and the data errors between them were relatively large, so that the bullets could not completely match the chamber, which led to problems with the range and accuracy of the bullets. Fortunately, it is not difficult to solve this problem, and it is only necessary to strictly enforce the prescribed data.

Another big flaw of the Han-style rifle is the short life of the barrel. The Moon Gun uses Mini bullets, which are softer and less abrasive to the barrel. However, the Han-style rifle uses metal bullets, iron-claded, and the abrasion of the barrel is more serious. The first batch of Han-style rifles were basically scrapped after only 500 rounds of ammunition from the barrel.

Of course, these are minor problems. With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous improvement of technology, these small problems can be effectively solved. The image of the Han-style rifle as stupid, big and black will also be reversed by the fundamental surname. Everyone will love this powerful weapon. The Han-style rifle soon became the standard equipment of the white-clothed army!

…… In the north of Zhili, in the territory of Xuanfu Town, the sound of guns and cannons continued. The cavalry of the white-clothed army was gradually driving away the Ming army here, in order to open the way to Beijing. The dying and struggling Ming army, relying on the artillery of Xuanfu Town, constantly counterattacked, trying to prevent the cavalry of the White Army from passing through here. The battles in Wanquan Left Guard, Huai'anwei and other places were once extremely fierce.

Chi Hu and Gao Meng rode their horses together, constantly waving their hands and shouting loudly to cheer up their subordinates. At the same time, this is also a secret competition between the Shooting Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. For taking Xuanfu Town, neither of them has any pressure. It's just a matter of time. The two armies combined, there were more than 15,000 people and more than 15,000 muskets, no matter how many Ming troops in Xuanfu Town were, how could they stop their advance?

Xuanfu Town is the last barrier of the Jingshi, and if Xuanfu Town falls, the Jingshi will have to directly face the butcher's knife of the white-clothed army. Therefore, it is understandable that the Ming army in Xuanfu Town desperately resisted. King Fu had just sat on the throne of the emperor for less than half a year, and the white-clothed army was about to take him down, and of course others were not happy. It is estimated that at this time, those who desperately resisted in Xuanfu Town must be the backbone members of the Fuwang Party.

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves behind me.

The two of them looked back, looking a little surprised and a little surprised. Because, they saw that it was Xu Xingxia who caught up from behind. The people in charge of protecting him were naturally the chasseurs. Why did Xu Xingxia come to Xuanfu Town in person? Could it be that they are not satisfied with the speed of their advance? Or is it their mission that is going to change dramatically? The two looked at each other, hurriedly turned their horses' heads, and came up to greet them.

"My lord, why are you here?" Chi Hu asked curiously.

"Hehe, I'm here to bring you something good." Xu Xingxia said with a smile.

He pointed to the chaser soldiers beside him, and Chi Hu, Gao Meng and others noticed that the chaser soldiers around Xu Xingxia seemed to have some different equipment. What they used was obviously not a moon gun, but a kind of stupid black and coarse guy, the kind that looked quite violent. Xu Xingxia studied the news of the breech gun, and they, the high-level, naturally knew about it. It's just that I didn't expect Xu Xingxia to come out so quickly.

Gao Meng asked curiously: "My lord, this is a Han-style rifle?" ”

Xu Xingxia casually took a Chinese-style rifle, fiddled with it, and then handed it to Chi Hu's hand, signaling him to fiddle with it as well. He nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Chi Hu said expectantly: "My lord wants to use actual combat to test the surname of the Han-style rifle?" ”

Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "I know that you are smart." Yes, exactly. Any weapon must be tested in actual combat before it can truly grasp its advantages and disadvantages. ”

Chi Hu said with a smile: "We also want to see the power of the Han-style rifle. ”

Xu Xingxia nodded with a smile and said, "Withdraw your troops and let the young men of the chasers go up." We'll be watching from the back. ”

Chi Hu immediately issued an order for all front-line troops to withdraw.

Xu Xingxia waved his hand, and Liu Chuang went up with a squadron of chasers.

The Chasseurs were only equipped with a squadron of Han-style rifles this time, which were used for actual combat tests. The breech gun was invented, and whether it was effective in actual combat or not, and what kind of defects existed, must be tested in actual combat. Proving ground, only a small part can be inspected.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Soon, a dense burst of gunfire rang out.

The stupid big black and thick Han-style rifle appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and its power can only be described as frenzied. Because the chamber pressure is much greater than that of the Yueyue gun, the sound of the Han-style rifle when firing is very shocking. This not only shocked the soldiers in white themselves, but also made the Ming army defending the city feel a strong shock. When they heard this powerful voice, their first reaction was that it was quite bad. If you are hit, you will definitely be dead.

The existence of a ten-round magazine makes the firepower of the Han-style rifle very fierce. There is almost no break in between. What's more, Han-style rifles can be refilled at will. In other words, as long as you have bullets, you can keep shooting. Of course, you can also use the bridge to reload after you have all the bullets in one go.
