Chapter 035: Sniper
"Slow down, don't rush, take your time, you must not be crooked!" Ma Du kept telling the craftsman that this was the most satisfying warhead he had so far, and he didn't want the craftsman to lose his work if he missed it for a while.
The bowstring pulled the wooden shaft back and forth, driving the drill bit made of fine iron to rotate at the bottom of the warhead, and the silver-gray lead powder slowly overflowed, and was gently blown open by the craftsman's pout, and Ma Du, who had been muttering on the side, quickly closed his mouth, for fear of sucking it into his mouth.
The craftsman finally stopped, wiped the beads of sweat on his face, and held the small lead block that he didn't know what to do with it and sent it to Ma Du's hand, "Sir, look at this, is this easy to use?" ”
The lead warhead was polished smooth and shiny, and at the bottom of it there was a cone-shaped hole. Madu put the bullet into the shell filled with gunpowder with pliers, checked it in his hand and felt that it was about the same weight, and slowly pushed the bullet into the chamber to feel the force.
This is a handmade warhead, and it is impossible to expect how perfect it is, especially the size. But it doesn't matter, the huge power of the gunpowder rushes into the small hole in the bottom of the lead bullet, and the bullet will expand and fit tightly with the rifling, which is the soul of the barrel, and the rifling will shape it into a perfect bullet as much as possible.
As for the accuracy, Ma Du has no score in his heart, and he has no time to do experiments, everything depends on God's will.
Untied the money bag on Zhang Wuliu's waist, there were still a lot of copper coins in it, and stuffed it to the old craftsman, "Thank you for your hard work, let's go!" Ma Du held a gun out of the hidden soldier cave next to the city gate, and Zhu Wenying asked, "Is it done?" I've got you covered, too! At that moment, he held a wooden shield to protect Ma Du to the city gate building, and saw that Zhang Wuliu was still following closely, and he kicked him out, "You can also see this kind of thing!" ”
"It's finally here! Come on up, I've got everything ready for you!" Zhu Wenzheng pulled Ma Du up to the second floor.
Ma Du wondered in his heart that I didn't seem to ask you to prepare anything, and when I went up to the second floor, I saw that there was a big table of eight immortals in the middle, on which there was a whole table of yellow paper incense candles, melons and fruits, and pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks.
What does this do? Is it to let me eat before I do it? Zhu Wenzheng took a blank tablet and held a brush in the other hand, "Tell me which immortal Buddha you are enshrined?" ”
"Immortal Buddha?" Madu looked dazed.
Zhu Wenying pointed to the rifle in Ma Du's hand, "Didn't you take the magic weapon to accept Chen Youliang?" ”
Madu was thundered, "I don't have that ability." He shook the rifle in his hand, "This is not a magic weapon, this is a firearm!" Do you understand firearms, they are firearms like Deng Shenzheng's firearms battalion. ”
There was no surprise, no surprise, the Zhu family brothers' faces showed disappointment, Ma Du knew what the two were thinking, "Don't compare those things in the firearms camp with mine." "I don't understand them, I'd rather believe in the power of ethereal ghosts and gods, but I don't believe in the power of science."
Zhu Wenzheng smiled wryly, "Your firearm does look more delicate than Deng Shenzheng's firearm, but can it hit so far, this firearm is only so big after all." ”
"You don't believe me when I say it, just try it." Madu took an orange and peeled it and stuffed it into his mouth, "This orange has been left for a long time, and there is not much juice." ”
Zhu Wenying seemed to want to ease the awkward atmosphere, "Why don't you show us it, so that Brother Wen Zheng and I can see its power." ”
Ma Du spit out a few orange seeds, "I made a bullet with so much effort just now, how can I fight Chen Youliang again after the fight." ”
"You can only hit your firearm once? You're sure you'll be able to hit it all the time. Zhu Wenying was also embarrassed, he still knew more about firearms, and he didn't have an accurate head at all ten steps away, all of which relied on dense bullets to kill and injure the enemy.
"Chen Youliang is not stupid, will he give me a second chance. As for whether it can be hit, I can't say, it depends on luck. ”
Zhu Wenying was completely speechless, in the end, it was just a matter of luck, whether he could hit Chen Youliang by throwing a stone out by himself also depended on luck.
"It's tight down there, I'll keep an eye on it." Zhu Wenzheng looked completely disappointed.
"Don't worry, did Chen Youliang show his head just now?"
"I climbed the chariot a quarter of an hour ago, and I went down in less than a cup of tea, and the next time I showed up, it would take at least a quarter of an hour." After Zhu Wenzheng finished speaking, he chuckled downstairs.
Ma Du took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and then turned his head to look at Zhu Wenying, "Don't you go to the city to have a look?" ”
"I'm not the main general, it doesn't matter if there is more or less of me, I am not there, maybe Deng Shuai has less thoughts." Zhu Wenying tore a chicken leg from the offering table, "I'm here to accompany you!" ”
Ma Du took the rifle to find a suitable position by the window, aimed at the position where Chen Youliang was, began to adjust the gun sights, and then blew out the candle on the offering table, found the most comfortable position and leaned there motionless.
Ma Du is a new soldier, but he is an old gunner, when he was a teenager, he followed his grandfather to the army to shoot targets, his marksmanship is quite good, and the division commander Uncle also said that he has the potential to be a sniper.
It was just a kind word from the division commander's uncle, but the old man took it seriously. It happened that there was a wounded sniper instructor living in the hospital attached to the Military Medical University, and the old man specially sent Ma Du to be a student. The instructor said a few more polite words, and the old man moved his mind to let Ma Du be a special soldier, which made his journey through the time.
As time passed, Zhu Wenying's contempt for the firearms gradually disappeared, because Ma Du had not moved for a quarter of an hour (Note 1) over there, and he really did not move.
The mosquitoes bitten on Madu's neck and he didn't see him slapping, the beads of sweat dripping down his cheeks and not being wiped by him, the sharp crossbow arrows brushed past him without him panicking, he didn't seem to be breathing, and his chest became no longer heaving.
I didn't pay attention to talking to him, if it weren't for Madu's eyes blinking occasionally, I really thought Madu was dead. He has seen a lot of soldiers who use firearms, especially the best under Deng Yu, they are calm and composed, and they can also load ammunition in an orderly manner on the chaotic and noisy battlefield, and when the enemy's swords and guns are only one step away from them, they can also calmly ignite and shoot. But no one can be motionless for such a long time, at least not Zhu Wenying himself, is it just to try his luck with such a lot of effort?
Zhu Wenying looked out the window, Chen Youliang's location was clearly recognizable, there were too many torches over there, and he probably didn't think anyone could hurt him at this distance.
It's moving! The soldiers with shields suddenly gave way to an open space, and seven or eight big men stood up with a huge chariot, and faintly saw a golden crown standing on top of the chariot with a large chariot above the crowd.
Dahan squatted down suddenly, grabbed the pole and lifted it to his shoulders with force, and there was a person sitting on the chariot, wearing a golden crown and a yellow robe, who else could there be besides Chen Youliang.
Zhu Wenying looked at Ma Du in fright, he still maintained the same posture as before, but the ups and downs of his chest were bigger, and he seemed to be a little nervous.
"Shoot! Why don't you yet! Zhu Wenying shouted in her heart, but she didn't dare to scream. When he looked out the window again, Chen Youliang, who was originally sitting on the chariot, had already stood up and was looking at the gap in the city wall. This is definitely the best time, and the target is almost twice as big as when I was standing.
Madu still didn't move, but his chest had calmed down. Zhu Wenying was in a hurry, "Why don't you shoot yet!" Why don't you yet! Well, does he need someone to light a fire for him? Firearms need a person in charge of ignition, but he didn't seem to ask me to light them just now......"
Just when Zhu Wenying was very entangled, a crisp sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked out of the window......
Note 1 In ancient times, a quarter of an hour was half an hour.
