Chapter 445: The duel between the famous sword and the plate armor

Wang Yue took a flintlock pistol and clicked the bayonet on the rifle, handed it to Songpu Jiuxin and said: "Songpu Jun, please don't call it an iron cannon, we call this gun a 37-style rifle, what do you think of this gun?" ”

The bayonet of the Type 37 rifle does not use a three-edged bayonet, and is basically the same style as the Bayonet of the Type 95, and the material is tool steel.

Didn't there be a three-eight cover in the previous life? Now let the Sanqi rifle slaughter the ancestors of Japan.

The Japanese in this time and space are even shorter, with an average height of only about 1.45 meters, so how could they be called Little Japan? Matsuura Kushin and Matsuura Ichiro are also burly people, but they are not even 1.6 meters.

The Type 37 rifle and the bayonet are one meter and one two meters long, and Matsuura Jiuxin can use it as a spear in his hand.

"Good, good, very good! I didn't expect such an ingenious design. Matsuura Kushin did not think that this rifle was too long at all, but his face was full of joy, and he was amazed by the design of the bayonet, and he also saw that the material of this bayonet alone was the best steel.

In the previous life, the 38 big cover was the longest rifle among the military rifles of the major participating countries during World War II. The Nagant 1891/30 7.62mm rifle is also 43mm long, so there is a tradition that little Japan likes long guns.

Wang Yue said with a smile: "A 37-type rifle is twenty taels, and a hundred bullets are two taels of silver." ”

Matsuura Jiuxin was overjoyed and said, "Then I want 5,000 rifles and 500,000 bullets." ”

The samurai under Matsuura Kushin, together with Ashigaru, had a total strength of 5,000 people, which was the rhythm of full firearms.

The cost of the arquebus was three taels of silver, one penny for every hundred parts of lead, and three pieces of silver for every hundred parts of black powder.

The Type 37 rifle was seven times more expensive than the arquebus, and the bullets were five times more expensive.

After all, it is an exclusive transaction, and Wang Yue has already sold it cheaply, just to enrich the strength of Songpu Jiuxin. In fact, at this price, there is already a five-fold profit, and the supply of bullets is a long-term deal.

Matsuura Jiushin is not a layman, and this Type 37 rifle is more expensive than the arquebus on the surface, because the materials are more sufficient. And the rifle has one more accessory, that is, the bayonet, which alone is worth at least ten taels in his opinion.

Wang Yue knew that Matsuura Jiuxin was rich, such a century-old name, and the trading port of Hirado, so the financial resources must be abundant.

Then the foreign trade version of the artillery, also known as the 37 type artillery, the caliber of this gun is 80 mm, which is equivalent to the 18-pounder gun in Europe now, a proper field heavy artillery. However, the weight of the gun is only 150 kilograms, and it can be carried by horse, or it can be disassembled into wheeled bases, brackets, radiators, re-entry devices, gun barrels, etc., and carried by horses in complicated road conditions.

The caliber of the Hongyi cannon is only 110 millimeters, but it weighs more than two tons.

The gun has an effective range of 1.5 kilometers with solid shells, and can create a fan-shaped kill zone within 100 meters of the front with scattered bullets.

Because the gun has a re-entry device and is equipped with a fixed firing package, the firing rate reaches seven to eight rounds per minute, which is four times the rate of fire of the same caliber gun in this time and space.

Because shotshots are more similar to fixed-mount shells, the maximum rate of fire when firing shotshots can reach 10 rounds per minute, which is simply a battlefield broomstick.

Light weight, sufficient firepower, great power, fast rate of fire, and easy movement were all seen by Matsuura Kushin, and his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a beautiful woman.

"How much is this cannon worth?"

Wang Yue said: "As soon as I met Songpu Jun, this cannon was sold to you for two thousand taels and one door, and each solid bullet and scattered bullet were two taels." ”

Matsuura Kushin said in disbelief: "Is this true? ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Of course." ”

Why is Matsuura Jiushin incredulous about this price? Because the price is the same as the price of the same caliber guns of this era, but the performance is even better.

The cost of making this cannon in the starting point city is very low, because the barrel is ready-made, that is, 45# steel pipe.

"Good!" Songpu Jiuxin arched his hand to Wang Yue and said: "This friend of Lord Wang, I Songpu Jiuxin have made a deal. I want 100 of these cannons, and 10,000 shells each. ”

Wang Yue didn't expect him to ask for so much, and reminded: "Songpu-kun, you and I will sell it to you at this price, if you want to resell, the future transaction will be invalid." ”

Matsuura Jiuxin waved his hand again and again: "Lord Wang misunderstood, I plan to install some artillery on the warship. ”

Wang Yue suddenly realized that although the Type 37 artillery was similar to a howitzer, because it used solid bullets, the initial trajectory was relatively straight, which was more conducive to ricochet.

The gun was installed on a ship and could be punched almost in a straight line at three hundred meters, which was indeed longer than the artillery of this era. Especially with the use of scattered bullets, the efficiency is higher.

Wang Yue said to Songpu Jiu: "Songpu Jun, now that you have a sharp spear, you also need strong armor, how about you look at this armor?" ”

A vigilante soldier stands beside him in a suit of plate armor. The security army will not wear armor in the future, so it is not equipped with plate armor on a large scale, only the original Baoding army is equipped with plate armor.

Matsuura Kushin had noticed this armor for a long time, but the shape of the plate armor was special, which made him feel strange.

"Lord Wang, how is this armor performing?" Kushin Matsuura asked.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Songpu-kun, don't you have a knife on your waist?" Let's give it a try. ”

Matsuura Jiuxin looked at the sword on his waist and reminded: "Lord Wang, the sword I wear is the world's famous sword Xiao Karasuma, but it is not an ornament, if you hurt this person, it is not good." ”

Wang Yue said indifferently: "Songpu-kun doesn't have to be polite, please try!" ”

This soldier also has a stab-proof suit under his plate armor, so Wang Yue is not worried at all.

Matsuura Kushin Kurachi took out the sword and took out the knife, holding the knife in both hands, and reminded again: "Lord Wang, I am really going to take out the knife." ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Songpu-kun, I see that your world's famous sword Xiao Karasuma is nothing more than that, and it doesn't look very good." ”

Matsupu Jiuxin originally just wanted to try it casually with seven points of strength, but Wang Yue's agitation aroused his competitive heart.

I saw his eyes wide open, holding up the little Karasuma. The vigilante soldier took a breath, bowed his front leg and kicked his back leg into a lunge, his muscles tensed, and his chest was erected. Matsuura Kushin's little Karasuma turned into a curtain of light and slashed down diagonally!

In the tooth-aching metal collision and friction sound, there was a clear clanging sound...... The character of the Japanese sword is like the national character of the Japanese, sharp and untough, rigid and easy to break, not only can not cut the armor of the starting city.

Kokarsuma snapped into two under the force of the shock, and due to inertia, Matsuura Kushin also took half a step forward before he put away the castration, which shows how hard this knife is.
