The first round is just a positioning, and then one after another, the accuracy of the shelling is getting higher and higher, the elite gunners, in such a short distance, can achieve a more accurate hit, the new artillery, the use of metal fixed ammunition under the premise, the speed is relatively fast, saving a series of processes of cleaning the gun chamber, of course, can do two rounds a minute.

20 artillery, even if the power is huge, it is impossible to make the fortress fall to the ground at once, concentrate, attack a place, and then gradually expand, almost two incense sticks after a while, the place where it is concentrated, there has been a huge damage, a terrible pothole, a huge crack, all of which prove that this fortress has been crumbling.

Sure enough, after another half an hour, under the attack concentrated on one side, a huge gap appeared below, and after a series of attacks, finally the last attack became the last straw that broke the camel's back, with the loosening above, from slow to fast, and finally, after a huge roar, the fortress collapsed.

Even if it was two miles away, Han Qi could feel the huge impact and smoke, after losing his balance and support, the weight of the fortress itself had become a huge driving force, and the fortress really collapsed.

The strength of the fortress comes from the strong defense of the fortress, no one can directly cross the height of the fortress, when attacking upward, you must overcome gravity, and at the same time, face more enemy siege, this is the basic principle of the fortress.

The previous way to deal with the fortress was more to give full play to its own advantages and grind out the disadvantages of the fortress, or the sacrifice was too great, or the time was too long, which was also the fundamental reason for making the fortress strong, but the Dingjun Navy did not start with a fixed thinking, but directly flipped the table.

Dealing with the fortress, the most rare, but also the most powerful defense of the fortress, lies in the strong defense of the fortress itself, the navy broke the huge defense of the periphery of the fortress like flipping the table, this defense is the core of the fortress, when this is overcome, the remaining soldiers, facing the superior enemy army, even if they are not in the collapse of the fortress, are killed, they will not live long.

The power of artillery, when it can kill the outer wall, it is not a problem to solve the fortress at all, and at the same time, this speed is too fast, so powerful, compared to those fortresses in the Northern Song Dynasty, the fortresses that are stronger and stronger, it took a total of about an hour, how long will the fortresses of the Northern Song Dynasty last.

The exercise is almost over so far, although it has destroyed a fortress, but the navy only needs to clean up a little, and there are follow-up personnel to sweep the tail, they are like doing the most ordinary thing, especially those artillery, continuous shelling for one hour, the test of the artillery is quite large, it has been physically cooled down several times, the artillery has reached a certain limit, and it must be repaired and maintained.

The action of strolling around the navy, in Han Qi's eyes, was like a sword and a sword, the Northern Song Dynasty had built so many fortresses, in front of this weapon in front of him, it was like a papier-mâché, and it was impossible to resist. What should the Northern Song Dynasty do, the biggest reliance in the past has become the biggest constraint, once the fortress is broken through and eliminated in large numbers, then what awaits the Northern Song Dynasty will be endless darkness.

Other people's thoughts are similar to Han Qi's, especially the generals, if the war starts, they will become the group of people at the forefront, and when they observe the exercises of the Ding Navy, they will often bring in and bring in what to do in the face of this enemy.

The result is of course incomprehensible, in the face of these weapons of the Dinghai Navy, whether it is the guns shown before, or the later artillery, they are all incomprehensible, in the movement war, the guns can easily slaughter them, the only reliance on the fortress, may be able to resist a little longer, but only a little longer, the powerful fortress, can only withstand an hour, this is 20 doors, what if more?

As long as the navy has 200 guns, it can attack 10 fortresses at the same time, and the Northern Song Dynasty is in the north, what is the use of setting up more fortresses.

As for the field battle, during the exercise, after showing a team exercise of 5,000 people, it had already been vetoed, and in the face of strong muskets, no branch of the Northern Song Dynasty could block such an attack.

The exercise is over, 3 hours have passed, the exercise that started at almost noon, it is close to dusk, Zhao Xin invited Han Qi to the banquet, Han Qi did not agree, seeing the attack power of the navy, gave him a huge stimulus, and had no intention of going to dinner.

But Zhao Xin mentioned that he was just nearby, a simple hospitality, and there were gifts to give, which made Han Qi hesitate, the gifts given by Zhao Xin were basically the best, and countless people had proved this before.

The Dinghai Navy has taken the Liao State, and on the border line, it is against the Northern Song Dynasty, whether this mentality will change, this needs to be observed for a long time.

At this time, it is already dusk, and it is not suitable to return, even if it is a quick whip overnight, it is only to save more than half a day, which is not beneficial to the relationship between the two that has become a fait accompli, it is better to continue to understand the situation.

That night, near the fortress, in a temporary barracks of the Dinghai Navy, a sumptuous banquet began, in itself, Zhao Xin likes to eat, the current Dinghai, after occupying Jeju Island and Hokkaido, all kinds of seafood.

Before the technology of synthesizing MSG, the MSG-like stuff contained in seafood was the key to improving the cuisine, but because there were fewer seafood, they were relatively precious, and there were relatively few seafood in the entire Chinese cuisine.

From the beginning of the Dinghai Navy to the open ocean, fishing is a very important project, now in the ocean, there is no excessive fishing, hundreds of millions of years of stable structure, so that all kinds of seafood are very rich, in the trawler fishing boat intervention, a large number of precious seafood, have been caught, become a variety of delicious.

No matter how beautiful the taste is, under the unintentional, you can't taste much, this is what Han Qi thinks at this moment, and the generals like Di Qing are also tasteless, but the craftsmen who followed Han Qi over, they didn't think so much.

After watching the artillery attack on the bastion, they thought at most that this was a new weapon, and that's all, and they didn't care at all about the strength of this weapon and the impact it might have in the future.

On top of the banquet, the seafood is the mainstay, and the condiments mixed with various seafood, plus the meals fried in non-traditional ways, make these craftsmen eat and forget to return.

After a banquet, Zhao Xin came over to say goodbye to Han Qi, and Zhao Xin would return to the north early tomorrow morning and say goodbye in advance.

Of course, Zhao Xin also brought a gift to Han Qi, 20 new rifles, this rifle may not be as good as the rifle with a scope and a range of more than 700 meters during the exercise, but it is produced in small batches and will be installed on a large scale in the future.

The overall appearance, some of which are like formal formalities, but some of them have been systematically modified to make him more powerful, and the bullets used have also been reborn from paper shell fixed bullets and become metal, with a magazine and a simple aiming device, which can be said to be a relatively mature firearm.

Knowing that it was such a gift, Han Qi was surprised, but even more happy, the learning ability of the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as the manufacturing ability, has always been quite strong, this mysterious weapon, I didn't know the principle before, but now I know that it is driven by gunpowder, and there is a real thing, it should be easy to make.

Han Qi underestimated the difficulty of the middle, from the primitive musket, to the similar formal musket, in the history of the earth in the past, it has also gone through a history of four or five hundred years, from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the initial appearance of the musket, and then to the large-scale use of the Ming Dynasty, if it starts from the Ming Dynasty, until the beginning of the 20th century, it is at least 600 years of history.

Zhao Xin was able to rely on the strong steel strength of the Dinghai Navy and the ability of machining to forcibly manufacture a rifle that was close to modern times at the end of the 19th century around the 10th century AD, which surpassed the level of this era, and it was definitely not the imitation ability of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even if there are skilled craftsmen, who can imitate this rifle one-to-one, don't underestimate this possibility, the manual processing ability of the Northern Song Dynasty is very terrible, there are some skilled masters, they can even use manual processing, ultra-high precision and exquisite utensils, but the problem of steel cannot be solved, then there is no way.

Only the quality of steel is the foundation of the rifle, there is no strong enough steel, there is no manufacturing and processing capacity, this is sent over, it is just an ornament.

Of course, Zhao Xin is not gloomy enough to only send robbing, not bullets, although metal fixed ammunition can only be produced in small batches, but 5 boxes are still sent, a box of 3,000 pieces, that is to say, almost every rifle is equipped with seven or eight hundred.

This was given to Han Qi as a gift, Han Qi was very happy, and simply asked about the method of manipulation, although he saw it in the exercise, but there was no way to learn it without manipulating it himself.

The reason why muskets can become popular on a large scale is because muskets are simple, if they are placed in the era of arquebuses, they must choose almost suitable gunpowder, compact lead bullets, and even the timing of ignition must be considered.

All this, in the era of rifles, basically, did not exist, pull the bolt, press the bullet into the chamber, then aim at the object, pull the trigger, just pull the trigger,

It can be said that as long as there is no problem with the IQ, simply repeat it a few times, and Zhao Xin will open up a shooting range for them to practice, and will also leave a box of bullets for practice.

Under Zhao Xin's explanation, Han Qi can be regarded as having a bottom in his mind about such a rifle, bullets are the foundation of the musket, without bullets, the musket is a burning stick, and it can't play a role at all.

Next, Han Qi's personal soldiers, with the help of Zhao Xin's guards, carried out several excitations, which can be regarded as a preliminary learning of the launch process, and after completing everything so much, they quietly left.

Han Qi slept late that night, he had studied this musket almost all night, and he also wanted to study the bullet, but Zhao Xin specifically mentioned that this is an explosive, similar to gunpowder, if it is disassembled, if it is not careful, it will explode.

But the firearm is fine, as long as it is not loaded with bullets, it is an iron pipe, and it has no lethality, Han Qi handed over some of the firearms to the guards to familiarize himself with, and the rest was distributed to the craftsmen of those weapons, wanting to investigate why this firearm is so powerful.

Han Qi was also very strange about why those guns had great power, and he also had the idea of stealing teachers.

However, Han Qi somewhat ignored the generation gap between thermal weapons, and what Zhao Xin took out was not the original arquebus, or flintlock pistol, which was very simple, and it was easy to see the production method of the gun from the structure of the gun and various items.

However, the current robbery is somewhat similar to the later modern rifles, with a unique structure, and even the bullets are metal.

Don't underestimate this, in later generations, even if it is a small workshop, you can make guns, but what about bullets, truly modern bullets, the whole world, only a few countries can produce, representing the level of productivity.

Even if the gun is handed over to the Northern Song Dynasty, it will not let the Northern Song Dynasty learn something, but will make them afraid, these guns are all large-caliber, long range, at least above 500 meters, the same lethality is strong, within 200 meters, as long as it hits the vital point, an elephant can also be killed, such a gun is very suitable as a gift, send it over.

In one night, there was not much gain, and the next day, Han Qi couldn't take care of leaving, because the box of bullets could not be taken away, although Han Qi wanted to practice a little and take it away, but Zhao Xin specifically explained it, which also made him a little helpless.

Fortunately, 20 guns, 3000 rounds of ammunition, a person can also shoot 150 rounds, in terms of the current control of this kind of firearm, not to mention 150 rounds, 30 rounds can basically complete the operation, some of the more excellent, for example, the level of bows and arrows is relatively high, after being familiar with the principle of aiming, can also play a relatively good score.

In one morning, a total of 40 guards shared a box of bullets, which was the most enjoyable fight they had since they got the guns, and after that, there were only 5 boxes of bullets, which could not be consumed on a large scale, and they may not have fought so much for a year.

The use of firearms is mastered, but why firearms have such a long range, such a great power, but even more confused, the gun itself, can't see any secrets, so the secret is on the bullet, it is not appropriate to disassemble here, or leave to talk.

In the afternoon of the same day, Han Qi left the place where he had been brought for a day, but he came with a fortune and returned with a defeat, once again determining the strength of the Dinghai Navy, which was too high, like a huge shadow, pressing on his head, and the future development of the Northern Song Dynasty was not very optimistic.
