Chapter 141: Lost Battle
Sun Zhiyong ignored the advice of outsiders, staggered and rode on the bicycle, tried to control the balance, and did not fall, and he gradually mastered the skills, the faster he rode, and finally rode more smoothly than Guo Zhiyuan's demonstration, and turned around a few times in a row, and the regimental training villagers all widened their eyes in surprise, and they couldn't help cheering after seeing Sun Zhiyong riding a lap and still not falling, shouting: "Xiao Yong, good job!" ”
Guo Zhiyuan also nodded with satisfaction, it seems that he is indeed not wrong, Sun Zhiyong has a high level of understanding, and he is a material worth cultivating! After Sun Zhiyong rode a few laps and came to a steady stop, Guo Zhiyuan pointed at him and said loudly to the villagers: "See? One of you is tall and big, but you are not as good as Xiaoyong! Xiao Yong can ride, why can't you? Xiao Yong, I handed them over to you, within three days, they must be taught to ride a bicycle! ……”
"Yes!" Sun Zhiyong gave a military salute cleanly.
Under the guidance of Sun Zhiyong, the regimental training township soldiers gradually mastered the essentials of balance, and after three days, they were able to ride bicycles skillfully and run away. Zhao Shizhen rushed out fifty bicycles, and Guo Zhiyuan requisitioned fifty fast horses to form a rapid reaction force, as long as the rapid reaction force can drag the poisonous king bee, and wait for the follow-up road escort team to arrive, they can force the poisonous king bee to fight head-on, and the odds of victory are great.
The first half of the development of the matter was the same as Guo Zhiyuan expected, the king bee attacked the caravan again, the caravan hurriedly took out the arrow sent by the card collector when paying the toll to send a distress signal, and the rapid reaction force saw the distress signal and immediately rushed to the accident site, and the king bee did underestimate the speed of the rapid reaction force, did not evacuate immediately, and encountered the rapid reaction force head-on!
But the second half of the development of things exceeded Guo Zhiyuan's expectations, the team of the poisonous king bee is very combative, and what is worse is that they actually took out military crossbows and firearms, and countered the rapid reaction force by surprise, and suffered heavy losses, in the first round, more than 20 regimental training township soldiers were shot, and fell off the horse and bicycle. Pick up the bike under your feet as a shield and rush over to fight the team of King Bees!
The team of the poisonous king bee is dominated by women, and the close combat is not dominant, and the poisonous king bee is also very decisive, and does not fall in love with the war, and once again uses the crossbow and fire gun to force the retreat of the regiment to train the township soldiers to charge, and immediately evacuates with his own team, and does not even bring the goods that have been looted.
This regiment has sacrificed more than 20 people and injured more than 20 people, which is the biggest loss of the regiment training township soldiers since its formation, Guo Zhiyuan is naturally very sad, what makes him puzzled is how can the poisonous king bee have a crossbow and firecracker? You must know that crossbows and firearms are extremely strictly controlled weapons in the Ming Dynasty, how can they appear in the hands of bandit forces like the poisonous king bee? And as a traverser, he was actually defeated by someone with a weapon advantage, which cannot but be said to be a great humiliation!
Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly went to find Zhao Shizhen, guarding such a famous firearms expert by his side, he couldn't play a role for a while and was really aggrieved, Zhao Shizhen was studying his flintlock pistol, and when he saw Guo Zhiyuan, he excitedly grabbed his hand and said: "Son, the old man has overcome the last difficulty of the flintlock pistol, and in two days at most, the old man will be able to make the flintlock pistol!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan was also overjoyed when he heard it, with the flintlock pistol, his grand cause was realized, this good news made him so happy that he forgot the frustration of losing the battle for a while, and excitedly gave Zhao Shizhen a thumbs up and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhao, the flintlock pistol has been successfully developed, and Mr. will go down in history and be famous for centuries......
Zhao Shizhen also laughed quite complacently: "Finally, I didn't live up to the trust of my son, if it weren't for my son, the old man would never have developed a flintlock pistol so quickly!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan also started YY, as long as his regimental training township soldiers and self-new army are all equipped with flintlock pistols, not to mention a small poisonous king bee bandit force, it is against thousands of regular troops, he is also sure of victory, the more he thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, and said to Zhao Shizhen: "Mr. Zhao, when your flintlock pistol is made, immediately let the workshop produce flintlock pistols at full capacity, by the way, if the workshop is fully producing, how many flintlock pistols can be produced in a month?" I'm going to equip all the regimental training village soldiers and the new army with flintlock pistols, I don't know how long it will take? ……”
Zhao Shizhen's smile stiffened, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Childe, if you want to assemble all the flintlock pistols for the regimental training township soldiers and the new army, I'm afraid it's very difficult, the flintlock pistol has just been developed, there are still many places that need to be perfected, and the musket manufacturing is very complicated, it takes nearly a month to polish just a barrel, and the craftsmen hired by the workshop have no experience, and the old man is expected to produce 5 flintlock pistols a month is already the limit!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan was poured cold by Zhao Shizhen's basin of cold water, he was also misled by those YY travel novels he had read in his previous life, and took it for granted that as long as the flintlock pistol was invented, it would be able to mass-produce and assemble the army, as long as there were tens of thousands of elites who were all assembled with flintlock pistols, it was not a matter of killing gods and killing gods, meeting Buddha*, what Jiannu iron cavalry was not a problem, but he never thought that this era did not have the conditions for modern large-scale production, and all parts had to be manually polished and assembled, under such conditions, The fact that the workshop can produce 5 flintlock pistols a month is already an optimistic estimate.
But what is 5 flintlock pistols enough for? Only a sufficient quantitative change can cause a qualitative change, and a small amount of equipped flintlock pistols will not allow him to have enough strength to crush the army of this era, but will expose himself because of this, so that the big forces will covet him, and will only make himself die faster!
Zhao Shizhen was also a little embarrassed when he saw Guo Zhiyuan's disappointed expression, after all, Guo Zhiyuan threw so much silver to build a workshop for him, but he couldn't play a role, and hurriedly said: "Son, the old man will definitely hurry up to improve the production process of flintlock pistols, and when the craftsmen are skilled, maybe they can produce 10 flintlock pistols per month!" ……”
The production of 10 flintlock pistols per month is still far below Guo Zhiyuan's expectations, but he also knows that this is far from a problem that Zhao Shizhen can solve, unless he can get the machine tool out, maybe he can greatly increase the production capacity of the workshop, but Guo Zhiyuan is not a mechanic after all, to talk about mechanical knowledge, I am afraid that Xu Guangqi is stronger than him, at most he will tell Xu Guangqi some of the knowledge of modern machine tools he knows, to see if this Kuang Daiqi can not drum out the machine tool in advance, but this is obviously not something that can be done in a short time, He also has to find a way to solve the problem in front of him, how to defeat the difficult opponent of the king bee!
