Boom! I heard a bang, and the wine jar more than 20 meters away shattered, and fragments flew everywhere.

"Hit! Hit! Still fifteen steps away! Zhu Wenying grabbed Ma Du's hand excitedly, seeing Ma Du's calm expression, Zhu Wenying was not excited, "It seems that this is nothing good for you." ”

This is expected by Ma Du, the arquebus was called a bird gun in the Ming Dynasty, and there is a description of "birds can be shot down in the forest", even birds can be hit, not to mention such a large wine jar.

In fact, the accuracy of the fire dragon gun before them should not be too bad, after all, they all use the same barrel, and the reason why the effect is not good, Ma Du thinks it is because it is inconvenient to aim.

But what happened next was completely unexpected by Ma Du, Deng Yu fired two times in a row without igniting the fire, although the gunpowder in the medicine pool was ignited, but the gunpowder in the barrel was not.

Deng Yue made a bitter face, "Sir, what are you doing standing so far away, help me see where the problem is!" ”

Out of distrust of this primitive firearm, Ma Du couldn't help but worry about misfire or something, and it turned out that the arquebus was really not very reliable, and two of the three shots were dumb.

The four of them studied for a long time and found that the problem was actually the granular gunpowder that Zaimadu had just made. There was a small hole between the tank and the barrel, or rather a small channel, which could easily be blocked by granular gunpowder and could not ignite the gunpowder in the barrel.

In order to change this situation, the first thing was to change all to powdered gunpowder.

Second, the soldiers were asked to carry two kinds of gunpowder, powder powder for ignition and granular gunpowder for ignition. But the arquebus is troublesome to load, and the soldiers are required to bring two kinds of gunpowder, which is obviously a trick.

Of course, there is also a way to enlarge the small hole, but this will release too much gas from the explosion, which will not only affect the range and power of the musket, but also may injure the gunman himself, and Madu directly vetoed it in his heart.

Ma Du sighed, it is really a very troublesome thing to engage in invention and creation, well, it seems that it is not easy to copy.

After Deng Yu changed the powdered gunpowder, the firing rate really increased a lot, and after ten shots in a row, there were still three dumb shots, but he actually said that the firing rate was already very high, and it seemed that the firing rate of the fire dragon gun was not very good.

However, the arquebus is a single weapon, which does not need to be operated by two people, and the reload time is short and the rate of fire is faster, which is also very convenient for arranging troops. The shooting accuracy has improved more than a little bit, and I dare not say where to hit within 30 steps, and I can always hit eight or nine without leaving ten.

Zhu Wenzheng and Deng Yu already regarded the arquebus as a sharp weapon in the army, and they were even more coveted for the 3,000 recruits. It's not a loss to the fifth and sixth generals, in the end, there is some vision, both of them can see that as long as they go through the baptism of war, these 3,000 recruits will be rare elites.

Deng Yu even secretly asked Ma Du if these 3,000 recruits were specially trained to operate firearms, and arquebuses were standard for them. Ma Du didn't talk about this to Zhu Wenying, Deng Yue could see it at a glance, which made him have to admire.

What surprised Ma Du even more was that these three people had privately divided three thousand recruits, and they all had good reasons.

Zhu Wenzheng said that he was the highest military and political chief in Hongdu, and that the 3,000 people were all from Hongdu, and that those who ate and drank him must of course obey his command.

Deng Yu said that his firearms battalion suffered heavy losses, and the arquebuses that the recruits were equipped with in the future were also the ones he had painstakingly developed, and the 3,000 recruits could not be left with his share.

Zhu Wenying's reason is more sufficient, the three thousand recruits were taught by him, and if anyone wants to monopolize him, he will be disbanded immediately.

In the end, the three of them reached an agreement, and after the 3,000 recruits formed an army, Zhu Wenzheng asked 1,500 people to listen to the order, Deng Yu had a small appetite and asked for 1,000, and Zhu Wenying could only ask for 500, ready to take them to Zhenjiang in the future.

No one cared about Ma Du's feelings, and of course Ma Du didn't care, the military power was too dangerous, so it was better to stay away. Ma Du just wanted to ask them, "Have you asked Lao Zhu's opinion before dividing these recruits privately?" ”

Ma Du estimated that he didn't, and the three of them didn't seem to think about it, and they were bent on equipping the three thousand recruits with arquebuses as soon as possible, so as to form combat power as soon as possible so that Chen Youliang could pour another pot.

Ma Du felt that they had no hope of this, because their production efficiency was so low that it would take several days for a craftsman to produce a barrel, and by the time they loaded all three thousand recruits with arquebuses, Chen Youliang's bones would be able to beat the drum.

I really can't stand it, Ma Du reminded me a little, why don't you let people who are good at forging iron to forge iron, people who are good at rolling iron sheets to roll iron sheets, and people who are good at drilling holes? Why expect a craftsman to be proficient in everything, starting with wrought iron and ending with a barrel?

Without clever technology and effective management, there is no way to even assemble production line operations, and what to give 3,000 recruits a pair of arquebuses.

After listening to Ma Du's opinion, Deng Yu immediately began to implement it, not to mention that the production capacity has really increased a lot, and the most important thing is that even the scrap rate has been reduced, and it is a small step closer to the goal of 3,000 arquebuses.

Zhu Wenzheng and Deng Yu took the firearms unit to fight Chen Youliang's big drama, and they couldn't watch it for a while. However, a fierce man in Hongdu City played a good show of beating Chen Youliang.

After the head hit by the Fuzhou Gate broke the blood, Chen Youliang finally changed his target and attacked the new city gate instead. After the initial temptation, he found that the sniping encountered at the new city gate was not too strong, and there were not too many people in the city, Chen Youliang was overjoyed and hurriedly took out the secret weapon he had made these days-Lu Gongche.

Lao Chen's energy is not big, but he likes to do big things, Lu Gongche is a kind of giant siege equipment, after it is built, it is as high as the city wall, and it can be moved to the bottom of the city wall, and it can be directly attached to it, which can be said to be a siege weapon.

Just when the Han army was methodically assembling the Lu bus under the city, the Hongdu City Gate, which they all wanted to open in their dreams, opened, and Xue Xian, the guard of the new city gate, went out directly with the cavalry.

After Zhu Wenzheng heard the news, his eyes were about to pop out, and he hurriedly took the Chinese army over to support.

Zhu Wenzheng couldn't imagine it, Chen Youliang's people couldn't think of it, and he couldn't think that the defenders who were supposed to stay in the city would actually be killed, and they were beaten off guard.

When Zhu Wenzheng arrived, Xue Xian had already returned to the city with the head of the enemy's main general in one hand and the deputy general captured alive in the other.

Ma Du heard Zhu Wenying say the news, and directly extended a thumbs up, "Cow!" ”
