Zhongzi, do you know why Admiral Wang called us all to Kyoto? Is it going to war with Little Japan? ”

Yang Yizhong smiled silently.

Han Shizhong took over and said, "Lao Niu, let me make a bet with you, if you can deduct a word from Xiao Yizi's mouth, I will give you a thousand belligerents, how about it?" ”

Niu Gao's big eyes rolled, and then he snorted, not answering Han Shizhong's words.

Don't look at Niu Gao's rough appearance, in fact, Niu Gao is fine, Han Shizhong knows that Yang Yizhong is tight-lipped, doesn't he Niu Gao know?

Moreover, don't forget, Niu Gao's eighth compartment is also stationed on the edge of Seoul, and he has more contact with Yang Yizhong and knows Yang Yizhong better.

Seeing that Niu Gao was not fooled, Han Shizhong said to Wang De beside him stupidly: "Actually, I heard a little rumor that the king summoned us this time to prepare to change our clothes." ”

Wang Dedao: "It's a flintlock pistol." ”

Han Shizhong said: "You also heard? ”

Wang Sheng said: "He has not only heard about it, but he has probably tried it." ”

Wang De did not deny it, and said: "That flintlock pistol is so powerful, the range is four hundred and fifty to seven hundred steps, and it can penetrate a finger-thick wooden board three hundred meters away, and its range and armor-piercing ability are above the Divine Arm Bow, even the rate of fire is much stronger than the Divine Arm Bow, in my opinion, it can completely replace the Extension Arm Bow." ”

Zhang Xian said: "The only thing that this flintlock pistol can't compare to the Divine Arm Bow may be its shooting accuracy. ”

The flintlock pistol that Cai still presided over the development of was actually more advanced than the early European flintlock pistol.

This is because the prescient Cai still proposed the concept of rifling at the beginning of the development of the flintlock pistol, which was not found in the early European flintlock pistol.

It is precisely because of this that the shooting accuracy of the early flintlock pistol in Europe was very low, and it was only possible to hit the target they were aiming at at a distance of 50 to 70 meters, while the shooting accuracy of the flintlock pistol that Cai still presided over the research and development can ensure that as long as it is well-trained, it can definitely shoot the target that they aim at within 30 meters, and with the maturity of rifling technology, the shooting accuracy can be further improved.

But then again, although the firing accuracy of the flintlock pistol developed by Cai still exceeds that of the early European flintlock pistol, this accuracy is still not comparable to that of the more mature bow and crossbow.

I see that everyone knows about flintlock pistols, and most of them have test-fired flintlock pistols themselves.

Wang Yan simply joined the discussion, he said: "Although the shooting accuracy of this flintlock pistol is not as good as that of the Divine Arm Bow, between the flintlock pistol and the Divine Arm Bow, I will choose to use a flintlock pistol, and in the vision of the flintlock pistol combat method given by Wang Shang, there is a way to solve the shooting accuracy of the musket, that is, you can make up for it by shooting in a row." ”

Zhang Xian smiled: "I just said that the shooting accuracy of this flintlock pistol may not be as good as the divine arm bow, and I didn't say that this flintlock pistol cannot replace the divine arm bow, the king is a Ming Jun who walks a hundred steps at a time, since he will flow out this flintlock pistol for us to experiment, it means that the king is ready to use this musket to replace the divine arm bow, or even replace the bow and arrow, but the king has always done things safely, so we need to use actual combat to support his ideas." ”

Wu Jue said: "It's okay for this flintlock pistol to completely replace the divine arm bow, but if you want to completely replace the bow and arrow, it's not the right time, its rate of fire and accuracy are too far from the bow and arrow, the key is that the flintlock pistol is matched with the war horse, not as good as the bow and arrow with the war horse, so at least the cavalry's bow and arrow can't be replaced by the flintlock pistol." ”

Wang Sheng agreed with Wu Jue and said: "I also think that it is too early for flintlock pistols to completely replace bows and arrows. ”

Yue Fei said: "The flintlock pistol can't completely replace the bow and arrow, but I'm still very optimistic about the flintlock pistol." ”

After a pause, Yue Fei said again: "It takes at least two years to train an archer, and this archer must also have talent, and this flintlock pistol, take it, you can use it with casual practice, and there is also a bayonet on this flintlock pistol, so it can not only be used as a long-range weapon, but also as a melee weapon, so this flintlock pistol is a long-term equipment, in my humble opinion, the bow and arrow will be eliminated by the musket sooner or later." ”

Liu Qi said: "Pengju is right, sooner or later this flintlock pistol will completely eliminate the bow and arrow, but not now, now, we have more than 500,000 troops in Liaodong, of which there may be more than 100,000 skilled archers, do we want these 100,000 archers to abandon the bows and arrows they are familiar with and use muskets that they are not familiar with?" In addition, the musket will be fired with a loud noise, so it is absolutely impossible for the cavalry to equip it, so the cavalry still has to be equipped with bows and arrows. ”

Wang Yan said: "In my opinion, the cavalry will be eliminated sooner or later, isn't the king studying what locomotive, if that thing is really developed, I'm afraid the cavalry will also become history." ”

Wu Jue said: "At least at this stage, the cavalry will not be eliminated, I think for a long time in the future, the cavalry will still be the main force." ”

At this time, Cai Ying's edict eunuch Xiao Luzi rode over and said, "The king has arrived." ”

When Yue Fei and the others heard this, they hurried to meet Cai Yan.

Far away, Yue Fei and the others saw an army of 10,000 people coming in the distance.

What made Yue Fei and the others shine was that although these 10,000 people were all riding horses, the weapons they were carrying were all flintlock pistols.

Seeing this scene, how could Yue Fei and the others not know that it was rumored that Cai still had to change the equipment of the various armies, it was possible that it was true?

After the 10,000 guards came to Yue Fei and the others, a girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, gave an order, and the 10,000 guards stopped in unison, and then dismounted and stood in unison.

Yue Fei and the others glanced at this girl, and instantly guessed the identity of the girl-Aunt Yan Zhen, Cai Ying's personal guard.

This Yan Zhengu is the daughter of Cai Ying's original personal guard Yan Guangxiao, and since she was eleven years old, she has served as Cai Zhen's personal guard together with his father Yan Guangxiao.

It is said that Yan Zhengu's martial arts are still above her father Yan Guangxiao, a pair of male and female swords, dancing, only to see a ball of white light, no human figure, is the world's first-class master.

A year ago, Cai still put Yan Guangxiao down to lead the troops, and then unexpectedly promoted Yan Zhengu to the head of his own personal guard, in charge of his 10,000 personal guards.

As soon as Yan Zhengu waved her hand, Cai Ying's personal guards separated left and right, and then revealed Cai Ying, Liang Hongyu, Fang Baihua, Chen Jingu, and Wang Sanniang, who were protected by them in the middle.

After that, Cai Ying and his entourage came to Yue Fei and the others under the protection of three hundred female guards and seven hundred male guards.

Yue Fei and others shouted long live together.

Cai still let everyone be exempted, and then he didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I called you here this time to show you a few new pieces of equipment that I have developed. ”

As soon as Cai Yan's voice fell, someone brought and pushed several strange weapons that Yue Fei and the others had never seen.

Cai was the first to pick up a strange steel pipe more than two feet long and a shelf, and said to Yue Fei and the others: "This is called a mortar, which is a kind of curved smoothbore artillery with a short barrel, a large firing angle, a high ballistic arc, a seat plate to withstand recoil, a muzzle-mounted, and a tail shell. ”

Cai still continued to introduce the mortar: "The characteristics of the mortar are that the muzzle velocity is low, the trajectory is curved, the main fire is curved, the gun body is short, the firing range is short, it is light and flexible, and it can shoot at targets behind the shelter. The reason why I named it a mortar is that it is easy to operate, has a curved trajectory, and can shoot close to the target, and there is almost no shooting blind spot; Second, after the shell is loaded from the muzzle, it is forced to fire by relying on its own weight to slide, so that the shell is fired. ”

Cai still said: "I have positioned the mortar as an effective suppression weapon to support and accompany the infantry in combat, and it is an extremely important conventional weapon for the infantry. ”

After speaking, Cai still waved behind him, and then two female guards came over.

The two female guards did not take the mortar in Cai Ying's hand, but quickly assembled a disassembled mortar they carried.

It took less than three minutes for the two female guards to assemble the mortars they were carrying, and then they opened fire.

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, a humanoid target 200 meters away was blown away.

Seeing this, Yue Fei and the others were all moved, this mortar is small and square, even two women can carry it, the key is that it is accurate and powerful, and it is far from being comparable to a conscienceless cannon with many problems.

Yue Fei and the others all thought to themselves: "My Liaodong Army has another great killing weapon." ”

And that's not all.

Cai still waved his hand again, and this time twenty female guards came out, and they quickly assembled ten mortars, and then began to carry out covering bombardment in front.

"Boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

“……”

Dense explosions rang out one after another.

Yue Fei and others, who had been tested in war for a long time, immediately realized where the biggest advantage of the mortar was—the rate of fire was far superior to that of the unconscionable artillery.

Yes.

This is the biggest advantage of mortars.

Unlike a cannon without conscience, which requires a long preparation time to fire a second shot, a mortar can fire a second shot in a very short time.

After a burst of shelling, look at the place where the mortar has fired, as if it had been ploughed.

It is conceivable that if the enemy forces there, after this burst of shelling, they will kill hundreds of men and horses, which is not unusual.

Yue Fei and the others' eyes were all shining, and it was obvious that they all saw the great strategic value of mortars.

At this time, Cai still took the second weapon and said: "This is called a bazooka, it is mainly used to attack fortified positions, such as bombing city gates, and can also be used to kill and injure living targets or complete other tactical tasks." ”

Cai still introduced: "It is equipped with sights, an effective range of 100 meters to 250 meters, a vertical armor-piercing thickness of 120 to 200 millimeters, and a weapon system weighing a little more than 11 catties. It has small mass, simple structure, easy to operate, can be carried by individual soldiers, it has low ballistic elongation, high shooting accuracy, high rate of fire, fierce firepower, and the lethal effect is particularly large, it can be used in a limited space, suitable for urban street fighting, and can also be used in pillboxes, bunkers and field fortifications, it can reduce the launch traces, and the battlefield survivability is strong. ”

This time, Cai still called ten male guards to demonstrate.

After listening to the neat sound of "sigh", the completely realistic city gate that Cai had already set up was blasted open.

This scene made Yue Fei and the others' pupils shrink!

They said in their hearts: "This bazooka is so powerful, it will be easy to fight in the future, and I am afraid that it will become a thing of the past to defend the fortified city." ”

After giving Yue Fei and the others time to digest for a while, and after watching Yue Fei and the others caress the mortars and bazookas like lovers for a while, Cai still let people push two weapons with wheels.

Yue Fei and the others were immediately attracted by these two strange weapons.

Cai still pointed to one of them first, and said: "It is called infantry artillery, which is different from light firepower from mortars, it belongs to heavy firepower, and the attack power is not comparable to mortars at all. ”

After the introduction, Cai still let people fire a few shots, and then Yue Fei and the others were dumbfounded!

The firing range of this infantry cannon was more than 1,000 meters, and the key power was huge, and nearly 100 humanoid targets were damaged by one cannon.

Yue Fei and the others thought to themselves: "If there was already an artillery of this power, how many battles could be easily won!" ”

Cai still pointed to the other and said: "This is a machine gun, using recoil, so that loading, firing and unloading can be completed at the same time, the body of the gun is cooled by the water jacket on the barrel, and it can be fired 650 times per minute." ”

During these three years, Cai still invented clocks and clocks, and stipulated the time, that is, a day is equal to 24 hours, an hour is equal to 60 minutes, and a minute is equal to 60 seconds.

But—

It is also inaccurate to say that Cai still invented clocks.

Su Song, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, presided over the construction of a water transport instrument elephant platform as early as 20 years ago.

This instrument can tell the time and strike the clock, and the structure is very similar to that of later clocks.

What's even more incredible is that the water transport instrument has an error of only one second per day, and it is also equipped with an escapement that can make a "tick, tick" sound when working.

The clock and watch that Cai still presided over the research and development were developed on the basis of this water transport instrument elephant platform.

Therefore, the people of Liaodong now have the concept of time, and they know what a minute is.

Therefore, when Yue Fei and the others heard that this machine gun could shoot 650 shots a minute, they were all dumbfounded, and even couldn't believe their ears!

Cai still didn't talk nonsense, and directly let the two guards demonstrate.

"Sudden ......"

"Sudden ......"

"Sudden ......"

“……”

As the machine guns fired, rows of humanoid targets fell in response.

Yue Fei and the others said in their hearts: "With just this machine gun, I'm afraid I can defeat the vast majority of enemies, and I will be a great prosper in Liaodong!" ”

Subsequently, Cai still asked people to demonstrate grenades and mines.

This time, Yue Fei and the others, who were shocked before accepting it, were not as shocked as before.

After Cai still asked people to demonstrate these new weapons one by one, Yue Fei and the others all looked at Cai Ying with fiery eyes, and some of them were anxious, like Niu Gao, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, when will these weapons be equipped with our eighth chamber?" ”
