This latest rifle created by Zhou Chao is actually a Mauser rifle! Of course, this Mauser rifle was modified and redesigned by Xiao Yao, removing some complex structures and adding a new design!

And in the past few years, thanks to Xiao Yao's technical guidance, Zhou Chao, a disciple of Qi's mother Huaiwen, has made a qualitative leap in steelmaking technology, so now he can create steel similar to the modern industrial era, with high quality and very hard!

With these high-quality steels, Zhou Chao can use these steels, according to the drawings given to him by Xiao Yao, with a large number of highly skilled craftsmen mobilized by Zu Yuan, coupled with a simple lathe, and then create this Mauser rifle by hand!

In fact, it is not difficult to build a Mauser rifle by hand alone, although the process is complicated, but with Zhou Chao, the contemporary No. 1 casting craftsman who has been instructed by Xiao Yao, and those exquisite tools designed by Xiao Yao, it can still be manufactured, but it cannot be mass-produced!

So during this period of time, even if Zu Yuan, the minister of logistics, resisted the pressure of the officials sent by Chen Xu to supervise the General Commercial Bank, and then transferred a large number of craftsmen and materials to Jiangzhou, and Zhou Chao and Li An carefully carried out various experiments under the nose of Chen Shujian, the assassin of Jiangzhou, and spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and finally created these twenty Mauser rifles!

And the biggest feature of this new Mauser rifle designed by Xiao Yao is the bullet that uses a metal cartridge case!

Xiao Yao, the primer of the bullet, had already been manufactured, but considering the cost, after all, copper is also a precious metal now, so Xiao Yao did not use a large number of bullets from these metal shells.

But after the last time Zhang Dabao destroyed the gunpowder, which led to his own defeat, Xiao Yao felt that it was still necessary to upgrade the weapon, although the shells of metal shells are still not qualified to be manufactured, but the copper shells are still okay, so at that time, Zu Yuan sent Zhou Chao thousands of catties of metal copper, and then mobilized a large number of skilled craftsmen to manufacture the copper shell bullets of the Mauser rifle one by one by hand.

Early the next morning, twenty people carried new rifles on their shoulders, armed belts around their waists, wore military uniforms designed by Xiao Yao with reference to modern military uniforms, and carried a tactical backpack behind them, all of them rode war horses, full of energy, and appeared at the door of the general casino majestically, attracting a large number of onlookers.

"Shiro, why are you alone, Boss Zu? And today is your first time out of the city in a month, do you only take these twenty guards with you? Brother Du heard that Shiro has many enemies in Jinling City, and they are all waiting for the opportunity to take revenge on Shiro! And now Shiro no longer has a military position, but after all, the general business connoisseur has a big business, and he can casually take out a guard of hundreds of people, as the so-called heroes don't suffer losses in front of them, I think Shiro should not be reckless, recognize people, or bring more guards by his side, after all, life matters! Wei Xiangyuan used the method of agitation to encourage Xiao Yao and said.

Xiao Yao was arrogant and domineering, and said with a disdainful look of contempt for the world: "Because Brother Du is going to visit our workshop, Boss Zu went to the workshop last night to prepare!" And Brother Du, you are too timid, are you Qi people so afraid of death? Haha, although I, Xiao Shilang, can't bring my Megatron infantry battalion officers with me now, but looking at the entire Jinling, I dare to say that no one will be the opponent of my twenty guards! Brother Du, don't underestimate these guards of mine, they are all masters who can fight against me with one enemy and ten, so unless they send thousands of troops to deal with me, if they just ambush a hundred people, haha, these twenty of my guards can easily solve them! ”

"So powerful with one against ten? Could it be that they are using those weapons called muskets that Shiro is famous for? He said in surprise as he had noticed that the guards were carrying on their shoulders some muskets that were distinctly different from the muskets in their hands.

"Oh, it seems that Brother Du is quite clear, that's right, they use the muskets designed by me and made by my master, and their power is much greater than those muskets that killed your Qi army and fled on the battlefield in Huainan!" Xiao Yao said domineeringly.

Wei Xiangyuan's heart suddenly trembled, and he secretly thought: How is this possible, this Xiao Yao actually said that the muskets used by these guards are even more powerful than those previous muskets? Although we don't know how to make gunpowder yet, even if we use gunpowder taken from fireworks and firecrackers, these muskets can still penetrate Chen Jun's paper armor within ten zhang, which is much more powerful than bows and arrows! I love to read Chinese

However, Wei Xiangyuan quickly calmed down, because he remembered that Zhang Dabao had said that this Xiao Yao had told them that the most powerful firearm in the world was artillery, and this time when they infiltrated Jinling, in addition to the muskets that were taken from the forward brigade, they also brought a small sub-mother cannon, and also bought a large number of fireworks and firecrackers sold by the General Commercial Bank in Jinling City, and then got a large amount of gunpowder from it, in order to kill Xiao Yao in one fell swoop in this assassination operation!

So Wei Xiangyuan immediately recovered his expression, and then laughed and said: "Amazing, really powerful, Shiro is really Lu Ban alive, and he can design such an exquisite weapon!" Well, since Shiro is so confident, let's go now, and while it's cool in the morning, let's go out of the city and let me see your workshop! ”

Along the way, Wei Xiangyuan followed Xiao Yao's side, gossiping with Xiao Yao, deliberately distracting Xiao Yao's attention, but the entourage he brought with him had been distancing themselves from Xiao Yao and them intentionally or unintentionally.

A group of men and horses came to a wasteland outside the city, but Yu Xiangyuan's entourage suddenly accelerated, broke away from the large army on fast horses, and disappeared into the bushes!

"Oh, Shiro, you see that these entourages of mine are all northerners, and they have never had a chance to ride horses in Jinling City before, and now as soon as they get out of the city, they will run away on horses and disappear, what kind of system is this, it makes you laugh, you are waiting here, I will go and find them back!" Wei Xiangyuan took the opportunity to say, and then ignored Xiao Yao's reaction, raised his horsewhip, and rode out of the large army, quickly chasing forward, leaving only Xiao Yao and his twenty guards in place.

Looking at Wei Xiangyuan's distant figure, Xiao Yao looked around and saw that this barren suburb was lush with vegetation, the ground was rugged, there were a few depressions, and there were also a few small dirt slopes, it was indeed a good place to ambush!

Xiao Yao sneered, and then said loudly to the guards: "Chicken eating action, start!" ”

With Xiao Yao's order, the twenty guards immediately turned over and dismounted, then raised their rifles, loaded them, and guarded all around, all of them looking like they were waiting for battle.

Twenty people have been divided into five squads, four of which are running quickly in four directions, southeast, northwest and northwest, and Xiao Yao is also holding a rifle equipped with a telescope, personally leading a team, quickly running towards a small dirt slope and occupying the commanding heights!

The chicken eating operation is an anti-ambush operation specially formulated by Xiao Yao in response to the ambush originally set by the lieutenant minister, and Xiao Yao has simulated the details of the operation in detail with this guard on the sand table last night!

Because this high-level training special forces, although they have often participated in actual combat before, they had to deal with opponents with cold weapons such as large knives, spears, bows and arrows, so even if there are many opponents, this special forces with Minnie muskets in their hands can easily deal with it.

But this time the situation was completely different, not only did those who were ambushed here have the advantage in numbers, but they also had muskets and even artillery in their hands! Although they can't really use the power of these thermal weapons because they don't have high-quality black powder, these muskets can also pose a great threat to this guard!

So Xiao Yao, who had been eating, drinking, and having fun in the general casino for a few months, decided to go crazy and take this guard and these killers of Wei Xiangyuan to play a live-action version of the peace elite!

Through this anti-ambush chicken-eating operation, you can not only test this guard army with new rifles, but also stimulate your nerves that are dulled by a comfortable life, and most importantly, you can use the blood of the enemy to stimulate the ruthlessness and fighting spirit in your heart!
