Chapter 62: The Hermes Reappears

"Yes!" At this moment, Sheng Xuanhuai felt a strong sense of mission in his heart, his face exuded a divine brilliance, and he clenched his fists firmly!

Hong Xuanjiao shook her head and said angrily: "Okay, you know that if you squeeze Xuanhuai, he is covered in iron and can hit a few nails?" Let's see if the bullets can be used. ”

"Sister Xuanjiao, wait a minute!" Wang Feng smiled, cut a small piece of thick paper to carefully wrap the gunpowder and mini bullets, and made ten in a row before turning his head and saying: "Sister Xuanjiao, if it can be done, you can find some ingenious women who specialize in the process of wrapping bullets, size and dosage, and I will write to you later." ”

"Hmm!" Hong Xuanjiao urged: "I know, hurry up!" ”

Not only Hong Xuanjiao, everyone's eyes are full of expectations, this is a gun that can shoot a 150-zhang target, if more than 4,000 people in the army are all equipped with mini guns and hit Beijing City to lift the dragon bed of Xianfeng, they are all confident!

Wang Feng's eyes also flickered, and he took several deep breaths in a row before calming down, and aimed his gun at a target placed at a hundred and fifty zhang away.

One hundred and fifty zhang is almost a mile, looking at the past, the target is only a very small piece, and Wang Feng's crosshair has not been redesigned according to the characteristics of the Minny gun, and it is still a flintlock pistol that can only hit a hundred meters, so his confidence in hitting the target is not too great, he only hopes that the first is to shoot the bullet out, which shows that the bullet has no problem and can be mass-produced, and the second is to adjust the crosshair according to the error between the bullet landing point and the target, so around the target, there is also a full circle of three feet of homespun cloth.

It's just that the gun was modified by him, the bullet was designed by him, and he was the first to shoot, and deep down he still hopes to hit the target and have a good fight!

Wang Feng's eyes narrowed into a slit, and his fingers slowly clasped inward, this slow movement made everyone feel like they were suffocating, "Prison Army, Division Commander!" At this moment, Ding Daquan waved his arms and shouted as he ran: "The Qing army is assembled at the North Gate Wharf, it looks like it's going to be real!" ”

"Damn, Xu Naizhao wants to be reincarnated so much?" Wang Feng suddenly scolded, his voice was full of unwillingness, and the others were also extremely sorry, if the Qing army could delay the siege of the city for a day, then the army might be equipped with some mini guns, even if there were only a dozen or so!

Wang Feng quickly adjusted his feelings, and said in a flat tone: "When the Qing army will come, it's not for us to decide, whether there is a mini gun or not, let's fight the same!" With that, he pulled the trigger!

"Bang!" A ball of fire erupted from the muzzle, and Wang Feng could feel that the bullet was shot out, which was undoubtedly a good result, but whether he could shoot or not had to wait for someone to return.

A moment later, a soldier near the target ran back and said, "Report to the commander, the bullet hit a foot and a half above the target!" ”

This obviously didn't hit, and in the crowd, a feeling of disappointment arose, but Wang Feng didn't care and said: "The crosshair hasn't been adjusted yet, and there is a problem with a one-time hit, don't be disappointed, the Mini gun and Mini bullet have been largely developed, and I will come back to adjust when the Qing army is repelled!" ”

Wang Feng's self-confidence brought confidence to everyone again, Wang Feng nodded, and hooked his hand to the five blacksmiths: "You write down the size parameters of the mold, which one is left for you to refer to, if the research is successful, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and after that, I will buy each two according to one tael of silver!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the blacksmiths were overjoyed, forgetting that the Qing army was about to attack the city, and they all promised in succession: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely get it for you before dark!" ”

"Okay, please!" Wang Feng clenched his fists heavily, grabbed the remaining bullets, and walked away quickly with everyone.

Six or seven miles away from the city wall of the north city is the wharf, behind is the wide Yangtze River, when Wang Feng climbed and looked down, the Qing army was still assembling, one team was about 2,000 cavalry, the other team was musketeers and spearmen, the total size was about 4,000 people.

Lu Dayou couldn't help laughing and said, "Master Shuai, what does Xu Naizhao mean?" He didn't even have artillery in his army, could it be that he was preparing to hit the city wall with cavalry? This old boy can't be crazy, right? Hahahaha~~"

When everyone saw that this was really the case, they all laughed and laughed.

Wang Feng waved his hand: "No matter how much you don't understand the art of war, you won't put on a death formation, don't be in a hurry to laugh at the other party if you don't understand, you have to compare your heart with your heart, think from the other party's standpoint, Xu Naizhao dares to put on a charging posture, he must rely on something, you all think about it, what is he relying on?" ”

As soon as these words came out, he laughed and stopped, attributing the abnormality of the Qing army to Xu Naizhao's loss of heart and madness, which was indeed unbelievable, and they all frowned and thought about it secretly.

"Wang Feng, look at the river, there is a ship approaching!" Hong Xuanjiao suddenly stretched out her hand.

Sure enough, on the wide river, a black dot was getting closer and closer, Wang Feng hurriedly took the telescope to see that it was the Hermes who had visited Nanjing, the displacement of 3,000 tons, although it could not be compared with the ironclad ships with a displacement of 10,000 tons twenty or thirty years later, but it was already a giant among the wooden battleships!

As the telescope moved, Wang Feng saw that the bow of the ship and the thick cannon muzzle on the right side were being fine-tuned up and down.

"Not good!" Wang Feng shouted in a lost voice: "No wonder the Qing army will put on an offensive formation, it must be the foreigners who bombarded the ship artillery first, quickly, all go down, the city wall is gone!" ”

Hong Xuanjiao was puzzled: "It's six or seven miles from here to the riverbank, can the cannon hit that far?" Even if you hit, will it be possible to knock down the city wall? ”

"Hmm!" Wang Feng nodded solemnly: "You haven't seen the British artillery, not only the range is long, but the shells will explode and hit continuously, not to mention the small city of Baoshan, I'm afraid that the city of Beijing can't be saved, if you don't want to die, hurry up, let's go back to the city to build fortifications!" ”

Lu Dayou was reluctant to say: "Master Shuai, what should I do with these cannons?" ”

Xu Naizhao left more than a dozen Hongyi cannons for Baoshan, and three to four of the four city gates were distributed.

Wang Feng didn't even look at those cannons, and waved his hand impatiently: "Is life important or cannons important?" Lu Dayou, if you want to be reincarnated, no one will stop you, if you don't want to die, go with Lao Tzu, hurry up! As he spoke, he grabbed Hong Xuanjiao's arm, and couldn't help but pull and leave!

Even Wang Feng ran away, and everyone followed him downstairs with suspicion, after all, in the Qingying War more than ten years ago, although the British bombarded Dinghai with gunboats, they still hit solid bullets, just the distance was long, the rate of fire was fast, but it would not collapse the city wall, how could it be possible to shoot explosive shells in just ten years? Not to mention the explosion of artillery shells, which is simply incomprehensible to the vast majority of Chinese.

Wang Feng didn't explain too much, led the whole army to build simple fortifications behind the city wall two hundred zhang, and urgently evacuated the residents of Beicheng, and at the same time, he was also prepared to retreat if the shells hit the fortifications, relying on the houses to fight street battles!
