The Ninth Master is accustomed to using all kinds of weapons, and he will immediately have long and short soldiers, so it will not change. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, everyone in the sentry team, although they have their own strengths, they are all rookies, and most of them are still in the first stage of riding in the horse farm.

Later, when they learned the third stage of riding and chopping, they used the most popular saber, and began to use the unedged saber, and when they became skilled veterans, they used the open-edged saber, so as not to use it badly and hurt themselves and the horses under their hips.

After the new cavalry was trained, they also used the sabre, which was the simplest, most basic, and most popular horse weapon.

And because the main opponents at present, bandits and rogues, there are not many enemies in armor, so there is no need to carry a thick saber for the time being.

However, some can be prepared in the arsenal, and if you want to use it at the right time, you can use weapons.

But when the sentry travels, long-range weapons are still needed on horseback, and those who can't ride and shoot must also have weapons to protect and kill the enemy, and fight with one hand, then the short crossbow and handgun are the best, with one hand holding the reins and the other hand, the accuracy will not be worse than the arrows shot by the horse.

Difficult flying axes and javelins, spinning knives and short swords are temporarily exempted.

Of course, when sentry travels, some necessary equipment such as hook medicine kits, tent dry food and so on are indispensable.

Yang He also decided to equip the cavalry sentry with a side card, which was a kind of round shield used by the cavalry, wooden, wrapped in leather, not very large, with a collar, which could be put on the left arm to defend against arrows and flying stones during battle.

This kind of cavalry side card Tang and Song Dynasty cavalry equipment is more, the Ming Dynasty is slightly less, but many military units are also useful, because the side card is set on the arm, does not prevent the left hand from holding the reins, and the right hand is free to fight, and there is a good ability to resist arrows, which is still very popular with knights.

And armor.

Yang He decided to equip the sentinel and cavalry teams with iron-inlaid cotton armor, a long-body armor type, the same eight-petal hat helmet, inlaid with armor pieces in the jacket, nailed with copper bubbles, and thick armor pieces in key parts such as chest and back, estimated to weigh about 20 catties.

In normal times, the cotton armor of the cavalry is red, and the arms and hands are also red, and the cloak is also red, and the horse's mane will also be dyed red in the future.

However, if they go out of the whistle, their equipment will change slightly, they do not wear arms and hands, reduce the burden, do not wear iron helmets, wear felt hats, cotton armor and felt hats are also gray in color, with black cloaks, they can better hide their figures.

This set is equivalent to the equipment of the sentinel team, and the cavalry team of part-time sentinels will use it first, and when the sentinel team matures, they will use their own and have their own inventory.

……

The clock is fast into February.

On this day, the firearms workshop.

The percussion sound of Ding Ding Dangdang continued, the bellows were pulled, the coke in the furnace was burned red, the heat was amazing, and soon the fine iron in the inside was burned red, and the old blacksmith Yu took it out, and beat it in the cast iron concave mold, because it was the barrel of the handcuff, short and small, one person could do it.

Look at his son Yu Youtie again, he also struck another pipe in the cast iron die next to him, and the hammer struck, and sparks flew everywhere.

The father and son are very dedicated to their work.

The more satisfied they are with everything in the village, even the little obedient scissors in the family have been treated as intermediate technicians and transferred to the armory workshop to quench, what is not satisfied?

They used a steel core to make cold bones, and from time to time sprinkled white copper powder on the joints, and soon the tubes were rolled up.

But they still knocked, different from the long gun tube octagonal shape, but the gun pipe of this hand, but to beat round.

However, it did not take long, and after measuring the standard, the rough embryo process of the tube was completed soon.

Then these rough embryos of the barrels were sent to Zhang Chuxun and Li Tiannan to polish the drill chamber and assemble it.

Still using a drilling machine, but the person with the crank has been replaced by Li Tiannan's younger brother Li Tianxi and sister Li Zhuniang.

In the middle, Li Zhuniang assisted Li Tiannan, and Li Tianxi assisted Zhang Chuxun.

"Sister, pay attention."

Li Tiannan took a handcuff pipe and fixed it in the middle of the ironwood platform, so that the hole of the handcuff pipe was facing the drill pipe, and then sipped some vegetable oil on the drill bit, Li Zhuniang was quite pretty, she had already reached the hairpin, her hair was pierced with a green jade hairpin, and a green cloth apron was hung on her chest, tied to it, which looked neat and tidy.

She cooperated closely with her brother, and when she saw this, she shook the handle, and the drill pipe slowly rotated, and soon became a constant speed, with a slight sound, which was a mechanical problem at this time, and it could not be avoided by applying sesame oil as lubricating oil.

The drill pipe bit has also been replaced, which is suitable for the drill chamber of the handcuff pipe.

Li Tiannan looked at it for a while, then pushed the movable ironwood platform, and the fixed gun pipe slowly moved, and quickly leaned towards the single-sided drill bit of Sugang, and then drilled into it and began to drill.

He paid attention to the drill bit, and from time to time the ironwood table moved back, pulled out the gun, and then applied cooling oil to the drill bit.

After all, the gun pipe of the handcuff is short, and there is a suchow drill bit and cooling oil, and it will not take long to drill one.

Li Tiannan took it out and looked at it, he looked at the situation in the hole carefully, and nodded with satisfaction, that is, smooth, like a mirror.

Zhang Chuxun is also drilling over there, Li Tianxi and him are cooperating quite well now, but without the tacit understanding of Li Tiannan's brothers and sisters, he still needs to bark from time to time.

Moreover, Zhang has a lot of things, and it is impossible to bury them all here.

For example, after he also drilled two barrels, he took some handcuff tubes to the side, fixed and polished, and grinded the outer end of the gun tube to be smooth and bright, and took the taps for processing internal threads, handguns, of course, it is impossible to design them into a breech style.

The breech gun, at this time, has a silk turn, closed breech, but also convenient to take out for maintenance, "silk turn, left turn in, right turn out." The belly is long, such as lead or Kehuo door, etc., take the back door wire to turn, so as to trim. ”

The handcuffs of Xin'anzhuang should be turned to close the breech, and the firearms workshop has specially made the taps for the handguns, which are carefully made of Suzhou steel materials.

I saw that Zhang Chuxun took the tap used to process the handcuff tube, held the handle, and screwed it into the rear muzzle of the handcuff tube, and then twisted it out, and the internal thread was processed.

Then he took the bore plug wire and rotated, and the external thread had been processed on the cylinder with plate teeth, and the standard was the same as the whole, and any one could be used.

I saw Zhang Chuxun slowly screw the silk turn in, and screwed it all the way to the end, screwing it tightly, so that the breech would be closed and would not leak, and it would be convenient to maintain anything.

Zhang Chuxun showed a satisfied expression, after Yang Xianggong designed the plate teeth and taps, it was so convenient to process the internal thread and the external thread.

……

Zhang Chuxun was busy again, Yang He and he discussed the design of the Xin'an handgun is quite different, but it is three tubes, each tube diameter of 10 mm, each barrel length of 190 mm, according to the power of the current Xin'anzhuang gunpowder, it is estimated that the muzzle velocity is more than 300.

It is also smooth in the chamber, with small clearance, good breath-holding, increased range power, and at a distance of twenty paces, it can have a lot of power, and the close-range stop effect is better.

Because another batch of Sugang arrived, considering the characteristics of the sentinel horse war, Yang He invested a lot of money to let the Xin'an handcuffs use the flint structure.

He then referred to the principle of the Colt single-action revolver, using a three-angle one-way gear, when the hammer is pulled down, the lever attached to the trigger will push the ratchet to drive the barrel to rotate, so that the fire hole of each barrel is facing the hammer flint, and then pull the trigger to fire the ignition.

These objects are not difficult to make, but they need to be fine, and to prevent the barrel from reversing, there is also a small tenon.

In this way, cavalry combat is equivalent to carrying three handguns, and the firepower is greatly increased.

If the revolver gun is the same, such a design is not afraid of dumb fire, three tubes, there is always one tube that can be fired.

Moreover, the use of sugang as spring sheets, the firing rate has been greatly improved.

There are still a lot of spare parts for Xin'an handcuffs, but fortunately, there are standard parts such as plates and taps, bolts and other standard parts are much easier, and many standard parts can be used, and they have prepared grips, hammers, fire sickles and other parts in advance.

The pipes also drilled holes, installed fire doors, and painted raw lacquer.

Zhang Chuxun assembled them one by one, and finally the handcuff was in Yang He's hands.

At this time, everyone gathered in the shooting range of the firearms workshop, Minister Yang, Han Daxia, Han Guan'er, Yang Qianzong, Luo Xianjue, Zhang Chugong, Zhang Chujing, Chen Qiuao, Zeng Youyu, Hu Zhiyi, etc., except for Hu Zhi's employment during this time, the shooting range generals gathered.

But when they heard that Yang Xianggong had designed a new firearm, they all rushed to watch.

There is also the ninth master Qian Zhongyong, his fourth son Qian Lijue, and his eldest son Qian Likui have returned, and they are all crowded to watch.

Qian Sanniang wore a cloak and a scarf, the devil's figure was bumpy, she stood on the side, taller than most men, giving people heavy pressure.

She pressed the heavy sword, and glanced at it with curiosity, and the stout Li Ruwan stood beside her, with a short axe pinned to her waist, and also probed her brain.

Xin'an handcuffs are specially designed with holsters, all of which are sewn from the best cowhide, and there are rings on the back of the holsters, and the belt can be passed through, at this time, Yang He even put the belt and the holster on his waist, he tried it, inserted the handcuff, and pulled it out.

Inserted again, dialed out again, tried a few times, and it was convenient to insert the gun and pull out the gun.

He nodded, and looked carefully at the Xin'an handcuff in his hand, which was more than three hundred millimeters long, almost two or three catties, and the overall feel was good, and the weight was appropriate, and it was just right to fight immediately.

The three tubes are very smooth, all painted with lacquer, and shimmer with a faint light, which is fine at first glance.

The grip is made of wood and painted with red lacquer, which has a good gloss and gives it an atmospheric feeling.

The rear structure is a bit similar to the magazine mount of the Colt revolver, of course, it is only similar, because this pistol is front-loaded, not the six nests of the revolver, but because when the hammer is pulled, the barrel is driven to rotate with it, so the back of the three barrels is wrapped in a circle.

Then, like a runner seat, the three tubes can be easily rotated because of the rod stuffed inside.

Then there were three-cornered one-way gears on this side of the lever, as well as small tenons to prevent the barrel from reversing.

The hammer has a rotating rod connected with ratchets, and the hammer is pulled down, which drives the barrel to rotate, this physical principle is said to be that thing, and the system is not complicated, the key is to be standard and fine, the materials are in place, and any master has the ability.

In order to prevent the barrel from falling, the front mouth of the retainer also happened to block a hoop on the third barrel, and then near the mouth, there was another hoop.

Overall, the important position of the Xin'an handgun is still to make the rotating rod and ratchet, because in this way, it can be combined with three pipes, and one gun can be used as a three-rod gun.

The ignition device is also very important, so there is a fire sickle on the fixed seat, which is designed directly above, and the fire door is behind it, the fire door is a funnel type, and the fire sickle is a washboard type, so that when the flint is struck, it can scrape down the spark and increase the possibility of fire door medicine burning.

As for the fire gate medicine, Yang He used a goose feather priming tube.

Then behind the fire door is a hammer, which can be clamped with flint, and the overall appearance is very similar to the Colt single-action revolver, in addition to the three barrels, there are also fire sickles and other characteristics of this era.

After watching it for a while, Yang He test-fired, and Zhang Chuxun had already taken a suitable fixed-loading cartridge ammunition, as well as a suitable goose feather primer tube.

Because it was a breech gun, one end of the fixed paper tube was about to be bitten, Yang He bit all three, and then stuffed the three paper tubes into it, stuffed it to the end with a strip, and stabbed it a few times.

Originally, the inside of the chamber was smooth, and the gap between the closed lead bullet and the inner play was already very small, and then wrapped in a paper tube, it was really very tight, and it would definitely not fall, so that the soldier could load the ammunition in advance and then stuff it in the holster.

After loading the fixed paper tube bullets, Yang He took three goose feather primer tubes from Zhang Chuxun's hand, and there was a hole on the right side of the fixed seat, which could be stuffed from this side.

Compared to the fire door hole plug directly above, this side can be more convenient.

Yang He stuffed one, twisted the barrel, and in the sound of Kaka, another fire door hole on the side was exposed, and then stuffed in.

Twisted again, then stuffed in, and soon all three barrels were stuffed into the goose feather primer tube, and each barrel had its own fire hole primer.

Everyone looked at it curiously, and Mr. Yang Qian excitedly said to Luo Xianjue next to him: "This is much more convenient than the three-eyed gun." ”

Everything was ready, and the flint had already been caught on the hammer, Yang He raised his Xin'an handcuff and aimed at a target about twenty paces ahead.

Everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, and Qian Sanniang's wonderful eyes kept looking, looking at the target, and then at the gun in Yang He's hand.

"Kakaka......" Yang He pulled down his thumb and pulled the hammer to the maximum position to be fired.

Then the barrel of the gun rotated, and the muzzle directly above Yang He had been replaced with another eyelet.

Yang He tasted the feel and nodded, it was still relaxed, but in order to prevent the barrel from rotating inflexibly in the future, the soldiers should usually apply more lubricating oil for maintenance.

He aimed at the target, and there was a groove on the top of the fire sickle, which was used as a door, and then he aimed at the star, and the target was aimed at him.

Yang He's hand, touched on the board machine, his hand, also has a safety device, the lower part of the hammer has a deep safety slot, when the plate machine is not pulled, unless the hammer is pulled backwards to get out of the safety slot, otherwise it will always be stuck, to ensure safety, will not go off.

Yang He suddenly pulled the plate machine, and with a loud bang, the hammer fell.

The flint swept through the washboard-shaped fire sickle, bringing down a large spark of hot iron filings, and then landed in the funnel-shaped fire door, instantly igniting the goose feather primer in the fire door, and then the fierce smoke and raging fire rose.

I saw that the target twenty paces away was smashed into debris, and everyone cheered loudly.

Ninth Master Qian Zhongyong was secretly frightened, this is the power of a sophisticated firearm, if you are shot with an arrow while riding and shooting, you can generally survive, but if you are beaten with this gun, I am afraid that if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.

Yang He felt the firearm in his hand and nodded, there was still some recoil.

"Kakaka......" he pulled down the hammer with his thumb, and the barrel rotated again, and another hole was changed.

He fired another shot, and white smoke filled the air, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke entered his nose.

Seeing the target flying debris again, everyone was amazed, and there was a smile on his face, this handcuff is good, it can be hit continuously, and it can be completed with one hand, if both hands hold the Xin'an handcuff, what kind of frame is it?

Minister Yang next to him, Han Daxia and others all showed a look of expectation and envy, this handgun is good, but it is a pity that according to the ability of Zhuangzhong to fight, after the Xin'an handgun is made, it is necessary to give priority to equipping the sentry team and cavalry team, and when it comes to them, I don't know when it will be.

Yang He finally pulled down the hammer and spun it, and fired another shot, and the field was already noisy and stealing.

Qian Lijue, the fourth son of the ninth master, scratched his ears and cheeks, his heart was itching, that Qian Sanniang was even more unconscious, getting closer, and Li Ruwan was following her, and she was also looking forward to it, it was really eye-opening, after entering Xin'anzhuang, there were always things that surprised her.

After the three shots, Yang He's handcuff turned a few times flexibly in his hand, blew a puff of smoke, and then pulled it out in the holster in a chic manner.

He nodded with satisfaction, if the new An Gun is the same, the New An Gun will also be famous in the future.

Qian Sanniang looked at Yang He's appearance of inserting a gun and pulling a gun, her eyes lit up, she wanted to speak and stopped, but she still couldn't help but say: "Yang Xianggong, can you play with your gun?" ”

Her voice is still so cold, reminiscent of the snowdrop tree, and there is a feeling of coldness and inaccessibility.

Everyone looked at her with different expressions, during this time, Qian Sanniang was buried in the horse farm, riding her snow-hoofed rouge horse, galloping like flying, mace flying, everyone who saw it dodged, and then Li Ruwan followed behind her, and she also rode a horse and galloped, with two short axes in her hands flying.

No one in the village dared to provoke them, why, these three mothers didn't play mace enough, and they were hooked on firearms again?

Yang He looked at her, and his eyes were like the stars in the cold night, shining.

He laughed, "Of course. ”

……

Time flickered, and in a blink of an eye, it was the peach flood period, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom.

Baishan Station is the main point of Suzhou thoroughfare, the official road comes from the south of Jingshi, to Jiagou Station, and then seventy miles, it will go to Suiyang Station in Suzhou, and then by Suiyang Station Branch, seventy miles west to Suzhou Baishan Station, and sixty miles to the west, to Taiqiu Station in Yongcheng, Henan.

It is called Suiyang Ancient Road here, from Bozhou, Yongcheng to Suzhou, all have to pass through Baishan Station, and then walk seventy miles to Suzhou City, and then fifty miles east to Dadianyi, not far from Lingbi County in the past.

Baishanyi is a very ancient post station on the Suiyang Ancient Road, located in the traffic artery, known as a famous trade place in the neighboring townships, but at this time the villagers are panicked, bad news keeps coming, in the middle of this month, the governor Wang Qiaonian was defeated again.

I heard that he was captured by thieves and then died unyieldingly.

Soon, I heard that the city of Guide had also fallen, and it was a city of Fu, but it was broken in a few days.

Some of the fleeing civilians also brought terrifying news, because the defenders of the city of Defu were resolute, and after the thieves broke through the city, they captured tens of thousands of people in the west of the city, killing them regardless of whether they were high or low.

In the blink of an eye, worse news came, Bozhou, which was not far away, was also captured, and there was only Yongcheng in between, maybe when the thieves came.

The people can no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, and they have helped the old and the young to flee, and the villagers here in Baishanyi are the same, they have locked their doors with tears, carried their simple belongings on their backs, and used picks to carry their own pots and pans to cover, and some of them also loaded their young children inside.

Full of hope and fear, they only fled to Suzhou City, seventy miles away, which is the state city, and there are still Xu Huai's soldiers stationed on the road, so they should be able to live, right?

They came along the official road, the peach blossoms were in full bloom all the way, and the fine willows were swaying, but everyone had no intention of watching, just hurrying.

Nearly noon, the official road of Baishanyi was already full of people, including villagers here, as well as refugees fleeing from Bozhou and Yongcheng.

It's noon, look at the time, many people are tired and hungry, they want to find a place to rest, take a sip of water, although it is important to escape, but you can't always hurry.

Adults can stand it, and the young children in the family also have to moisten their throats and drink a sip of rice soup.

Just when many refugees wanted to stop, the ground seemed to shake slightly.

They looked at each other, and then their faces turned white, and they all saw in each other's eyes the pale and colorless faces.

The shaking of the ground became more and more violent, and faintly, the sound of horses' hooves could already be heard like a storm.

Suddenly, among the people, a crying, terrified voice sounded: "The thief is coming......
