Patriarch Jiao used his own personal display to show Wang Youzhen the first major defect of the bird gun.

Patriarch Jiao put down the bird gun in his hand, pointed to the bow and arrow of a clan patriarch next to him and said, "Even if you are a well-trained border veteran." ”

"It takes six snaps of your fingers to fire a lead bullet."

"Bows and arrows are different, in the same time, there are enough bows and arrows to shoot five or six arrows."

After Patriarch Jiao finished talking about the first defect of the bird gun, it seems that it was because he had not been in contact with the border pass for a long time, and he talked about Xingtou: "The second big shortcoming is that the distance of the bird gun is not much different from that of a bow and arrow. ”

"In this way, the distance of the shot is not much different, but the difference between the lead bullets and the arrows shot is too large."

"It is enough to create a reality contrary to the imagination of the common people, and the power of the bow and arrow is in turn much stronger than that of the bird."

When Patriarch Jiao said this, he seemed to feel that he had said a little too much, and glanced at Wang Youzhen who was standing there.

Seeing that there was no expression on Mr. Xiao's face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "This third shortcoming. ”

"It's just that the bird is too affected by the wind and rain, and once it encounters a strong wind, it is easy to blow away the primer in the medicine room."

"Not to mention rainy days, because the gunpowder is damp, and the bird gun can't be used directly."

"There is another point, which is the fourth point, that the concealment of the bird gun is too low."

"If you use the bird gun to attack Jiannu at night, the fire of the bird gun will be easy to spot, and the sound will be very loud."

Patriarch Jiao doesn't need to say much about this, when Yanchi Village was still a military village, there were people fighting at the border for generations.

The patriarchs of the ancestral hall are well aware of the advantages of bows and arrows.

Take the third point as an example, it is very little affected by wind and rain.

Not to mention the concealment of the fourth point, the bows and arrows shot by the Eight Banners not only did not have fire, but also did not have a very loud sound.

Wang Youzhen was able to transform the first generation of arquebuses into the second generation of flintlock pistols.

Although the personal operation was made by his disciple Jiao Miao, the design concept and drawings were all set by Wang Youzhen himself.

If you want to transform something, you need to have a deep study of it.

How could Wang Youzhen not know the shortcomings of the arquebus, and even knew more than the old soldiers of the border such as the patriarch Jiao.

The use of arquebuses in Shanhaiguan has never been much, and there is a big reason.

That is, the price of arquebus, gunpowder, buckshot, etc., is much higher than that of bows and arrows.

The biggest strategic factor in wars between countries is actually the consumption of national strength.

For every extra cent of silver in the spindle, the seller can earn a lot of silver.

This is just a small spindle, not to mention the arquebuses involving hundreds of thousands of border troops, and the number is very staggering once it is added.

Wang Youzhen saw that all the patriarchs of the ancestral hall were looking at him cautiously, knowing what the patriarchs of the ancestral hall were thinking, hoping to give up the whimsical idea of using an arquebus.

Wang Youzhen called the patriarch of the ancestral hall over today, and he also wanted to use facts to calm the hearts of the people in the entire Yanchi Village.

Wang Youzhen did not refute or agree with the arquebus.

looked at the third uncle Wang Laihi, and asked the third uncle to arrange an eldest son and grandson to start the display of the flintlock pistol.

The ten villagers were very excited when they learned that they were going to show their flintlock pistols in front of Mr. Xiao and show the results of their drills during this time.

All of them looked at the head teacher Xi Wang Laipin, hoping that Wang Laipin could hit the point and show the results of the exercise in front of Mr. Xiao.

Wang Laipin casually pointed at a person, not Wang Youzhen's younger brothers, and pointed to the eldest grandson of the Zhao family and said, "This time, you will show the flintlock pistol." ”

The grandson of the Zhao family ran to Wang Youzhen excitedly, gave a military salute, took out the flintlock pistol on his shoulder, and began to show the power of the flintlock pistol.

The first step is also to clean up the residue.

The second step is also to load gunpowder and buckshot.

The third step was different, the Zhao family directly pulled the trigger.

With "Bang! A gunshot rang out.

A puff of smoke filled the grain field again, and a lead projectile hit the earthen wall.

Patriarch Jiao and the other patriarchs were stunned for a moment, looking at the Zhao family and grandchildren in amazement, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Three steps!

It only took three steps to fire the lead bullet.

Patriarch Jiao was remembering the hours for this so-called flintlock pistol before the Zhao family grandson fired.

From a dozen cumbersome to only three-step flintlock pistols.

It only took a snap of a finger.

Wang Youzhen was also calculating the time, and the result was the same as that of Patriarch Jiao.

Ten seconds.

It's just that the two use different terms, Patriarch Jiao used Daming's fingers, and Wang Youzhen used a more accurate second.

Because of the incredible power of the flintlock pistol, neither side spoke.

Until a bag of cigarettes has passed.

Patriarch Jiao and the other border guards finally came back to their senses, and their faces were full of excitement.

Patriarch Jiao, as a craftsman who was proficient in the creation of bird guns, saw far more than just reducing time, and said excitedly: "In addition to reducing the hours. ”

"There is also a lid in the place where the flintlock primer is primed, and with this cover, it is completely unaffected by wind and rain."

"There is also the power of the flintlock pistol, which used to use a relatively large lead bullet, but Mr. Xiao directly changed it to a bunch of small lead bullets."

Patriarch Jiao paused directly when he said this, and was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks: "What do you say...... How can I say it......"

Wang Youzhen looked at the patriarch Jiao who was poor in words, and added: "It used to be a point injury, but now it's a surface injury." ”

"It's like changing a pistol to a shotgun."

Patriarch Jiao and other ancestral patriarchs didn't understand what a pistol was, nor did they understand what a shotgun was.

However, the terms "point damage" and "surface damage" are also relatively new, but they are all understood.

Where is the slightest fear of the dung section in my heart, only the excitement that is difficult to contain is left.

Wait to see the joke of the dung section, and see what wonderful face he will have when he sees the flintlock pistol.

Wang Youzhen saw the expressions on the faces of Patriarch Jiao and other ancestral hall patriarchs, and knew that this matter was safe, and it completely stabilized the hearts of the people in Yanchi Village.

There was no need for Wang Youzhen to say more than half a word, Patriarch Jiao and other ancestral patriarchs arched their hands one after another, and left the grain field as fast as possible.

Returning to their respective ancestral halls, they once again convened the men, women, and children of the entire ancestral hall to solemnly announce one thing.

Mr. Xiao has a way to deal with the dung section, so that the men, women and children in the ancestral hall can rest easy, and don't panic because the dung section is rampant in the township.
