0859 Observe the firecracker
Liu Pei's words made everyone very satisfied, so everyone toasted each other again. After putting down the wine glass, Liu Zeqing said: "Today we can be regarded as having opened our eyes!" Everyone also knows that the bird gun in the army is really useless! But after Liu Shenjiang used it like this, he really found that this bird gun is a good thing! General Liu, can you take a few shots of your bird gun to let everyone see and understand? ”
Liu Zeqing said this with bad intentions, and he clearly wanted to steal the teacher! But Liu Pei even needs this! If nothing else, that spring on the firebolt can disgust them! At that moment, Liu Pei said: "This is the little brother's, isn't it!" I'll tell them to bring some spare! ”
After speaking, Liu Pei came out of the big tent and called the guards. A moment later, the guards delivered fifteen firearms. It's all brand new and spare. Liu Pei personally checked the two guns that were not loaded with ammunition, and held them to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian with both hands. As for the other firearms, they have already been snatched up by these people one by one.
A large group of generals fiddled with the firecrackers in their hands and began to discuss the difference between them and their own birds. "Strange! He didn't actually use an arquebus! Don't know how it was made? It's a lot easier than using a firerope! ”
"This firebolt seems to be made of flint. And there is a lid on top of the medicine pool, which can prevent the wind from blowing away the gunpowder inside. ”
"He's heavy enough buckshot too! It's a big hole in the body! Even thick armor may not be able to block it! It's also an internal injury if it's blocked! ”
After everyone finished talking, Liu Zeqing said: "Brother Cong Yuxian, how much is your firecracker?" ”
Why did Liu Zeqing ask that? Because he's discovered it, he can't make it himself! As a general, he was familiar with iron and weapons. When you get started, you know that all the metal parts of this fire gun are all steel! And the most important thing is that he has never seen the spring. So he simply extinguished the idea of copying himself, and simply planned to buy some back from Liu Pei.
As soon as Liu Zeqing said this, everyone looked at Liu Pei. Because everybody thinks the same thing. Liu Pei arched his hand to everyone and said: "Brothers, I will send 100 firecrackers to each of them when I go back, as for how much this firecracker sells, it's really hard to say!" Because I said it, I'm afraid that everyone will think that I am cheating on you!
”
Zu Kuan patted his thigh and said, "Hey! How much is a firebolt worth? Is twenty taels of silver enough? ”
With a conscience, it is said that Zu Kuan is really not black Liu Pei! For to make a bird in them is a dozen taels of silver. But he didn't think that the bird gun they used and Liu Pei's fire gun could be the same thing?
Liu Pei smiled and said, "General Zu, I really don't want you!" This fire gun is at least 80 taels of silver! ”
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar. Zu Kuan's face immediately turned unsightly! He felt that Liu Pei was teasing him. He was just about to have a seizure when Liu Pei waved his hand to stop him. Liu Pei said: "General Zu, you look at it first." ”
Liu Pei turned around and placed the firearm in the air between the two tables, and then said, "General Zu might as well cut the barrel of the gun." ”
Zu Kuan seemed to have understood a little bit at this time. But he was not polite, and pulled out the waist knife of the guard next to him and slashed it at the fire! Just listening to the sound of "dang", the knife in Zu Kuan's hand bounced high! Look at the edge of the edge has been broken and does not look good. Look at the fire gun again, there is a deep mark on it, but it is not a big deal!
Zu Kuan completely understood this time, and couldn't help shouting in surprise: "All steel? ”
Liu Pei said: "That's right! All the metal parts of this firebolt are all steel! My poor buckshot is more than twice as large as a bird's gun, and I can't go far with less charge. If there is too much charge, it will be easy to blow up! Only with this all-steel gun pipe can it withstand it! ”
After speaking, Liu Peisan took the two firecrackers apart, lifted a spring and pulled it twice, and said, "There is also this." Of the eighty taels of silver, fifty taels are on this spring! ”
Wu Sangui stretched out his hand to take the spring, and after pulling two handfuls vigorously, he said, "It shouldn't be difficult to make this spring, right?" Is it so outrageous? ”
Liu Pei said: "It's so outrageous! If you don't believe it, you can go back and let your own craftsmen make a few of these springs, and you can use them twenty or thirty times, which is considered a good craft! But I can use this spring thousands of times! ”
As soon as Liu Pei finished speaking, Wu Sangui used both hands to straighten the spring and then take it back!
The crowd burst into laughter! Liu Pei looked at Wu with an innocent face
Sangui said: "Hey, General Wu has a lot of strength, where can this kind of spring stand it!" ”
After Liu Pei finished speaking, he explained in detail to everyone what are the differences between his fire gun and the bird gun. For example, there is a rifle butt that allows you to shoot from the shoulder. In the past, the bird gun only had a curved handshake, and if you wanted to aim, you had to drag the bird gun with the other hand. And with the butt, the stability of the gun resting on the shoulder is greatly increased. There is also the change of Lookout Mountain and so on and so forth.
The people here are secretly amazed when they hear it! They all pondered that they must imitate a batch of fire guns when they go back. Because they can see on the battlefield today, the lead bullets fired by the musketeers on both sides of the road are as dense as raindrops! The infantry simply could not get close to them! Only the reliant cart can approach the front.
But a little closer, the car will be knocked out by artillery. These infantry still had to be exposed to the rain of bullets, and they could only launch a desperate charge!
The feast lasted until midnight. That's when the final statistics came out. In this battle, more than 20,000 rebels were annihilated and countless baggage were captured! And the cavalry in charge of reconnaissance was certain that at least 30,000 or more rebels had fled.
After getting the result, Zhu Dadian knew that this counterinsurgency had been won steadily. At that moment, he and Gao Qiqian jointly issued a report to Emperor Chongzhen, and at the same time urged the army to approach Dengzhou!
It's been a smooth journey. The Dengzhou side didn't even send out a single ranger, and directly let the army arrive under Dengzhou City!
The army rushed to the outside of Dengzhou City, only to see that the four gates of Dengzhou City were closed, and the rebels were full of figures on the city gates. If you look closely, you can see that the engineering equipment on the city is very complete, and there is no chance to take advantage of it! The generals couldn't help but feel a little chill in their hearts!
This Dengzhou city is an important town in Shandong, and the city is deeply moated! It was very difficult to attack Dengju. Moreover, after preliminary estimates, there are almost nearly 30,000 rebels in Dengzhou City! If these 30,000 people defend Zhengzhou City, Zhu Dadian and they really won't be able to take it in time!
So at this time, there was silence in the camp tent outside the city, and everyone did not speak. Although Zhu Dadian is capable, he is also blind when it comes to specific affairs, and he has to rely on the military generals at all levels below. But when he proposed how to conquer Dengzhou, there was no one to talk to him at all.
