Chapter 232 All-round coverage without dead ends
The New Winged Tiger Gun and the rocket are both weapons that Yang He is concerned about, so after the quartermaster completed some samples, Yang He came to the shooting range of the firearms workshop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Naturally, all the officers swarmed over and crowded around Yang He to watch, Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan also stood aside, probing their brains curiously.
Zhang Chuxun and Zhang Chujing have already brought out a lot of samples of arrows, and everyone is amazed when they look at it.
Yang He also looked at the winged tiger gun in his hand, which was smooth and sophisticated, giving people an extraordinary feeling, and the whole was like an enlarged version of the three-eyed handcuff. But whether it is used for foot or riding, the basic weight is more than six catties, which is slightly lighter than the breech Xin'an gun used by foot soldiers.
The overall length is about 100 centimeters, which is about five or six halves in later generations.
Then the same three-coin buckshot was used, the caliber of the gun was about 12 mm, and the cavalry could be used universally.
"Boom!"
Zhang Chuxun held the step with the winged tiger gun, pulled the plate machine on the target in front of him, and the gun pipe above him burst into flames, and immediately a large puff of thick white smoke filled the air. At the same time, after the dragon head fire rope falls and ignites the goose feather primer tube, it automatically returns to the position to be fired under the action of the spring sheet.
The gun tube in Zhang Chuxun's hand twisted again, and the plate machine was pulled again, and the dragon head fire rope fell, and there was a loud bang.
The gun in his hand twisted again, pulled the trigger again, and the smoke billowed from the shooting range.
He demonstrated for everyone, and after a while, Yang He nodded secretly, this speed is about the same as the pump-action shotgun of later generations.
Minister Yang said to Han Guan'er in surprise: "With the new gunpowder, the power of this gun is so great, those three-eyed guns can't be compared." ”
Han Guan'er said: "It has improved by more than ten steps, and it is estimated that about fifty steps can kill people." ”
He had used the Three-Eyed Gun, so he naturally knew the power of the Three-Eyed Gun, even if it was well-made and used a good medicine, but it was about thirty-five steps before he could kill and injure a person who did not wear armor.
Then twenty or thirty paces away, you can break the opponent's cotton armor, chain mail, etc., but they can't be compared with this new winged tiger gun.
Yang He also smiled and nodded, the Winged Tiger Gun is actually a three-eyed gun, but it is mixed with the aiming convenience structure of the bird gun.
However, because the power of Xin'anzhuang's new gunpowder has increased a lot, and the quality of the gun tube can also be bearable, the amount of charge will not be reduced, according to Yang He's estimate, as Han Guan'er said, the power will indeed be increased to about fifty steps, and it can cause serious damage to the target without armor.
He estimated that about sixty meters, that is, a distance of forty paces, could break the enemy's pure cotton armor and chain mail.
At a distance of 30 paces, it can break through the enemy's iron-clad armor, and within a distance of 20 steps, it can break through the enemy's multi-layered heavy armor.
Compared with the original three-eyed gun, the power is indeed incomparable, and the accuracy of shooting is much improved.
Yang He estimated that the range and power of his Winged Tiger Gun were comparable to many bird guns used by the Ming army. Many of those people were of poor quality and insufficient chamber pressure, and they often used gunpowder for more than one penny, lead and iron for more than two pennies, and then thirty paces away could not even break the enemy's cotton armor.
This is also the reason why the Qing army used oil-soaked rattan cards, often at a distance of thirty or fifty paces, which could effectively resist many Ming army bullet shots.
The quality is too poor.
Of course, if there are not many people like Yang He who are willing to spend a lot of money, the military quartermaster reported that although the cost of the new wing tiger gun is not as high as the breech new An gun, it will not be much worse, especially the new wing tiger gun used by the cavalry.
"Xianggong, my subordinates think that this winged tiger gun can be made more, and it can be used in the soldiers, and it is in the third row, so that no thief can rush up."
Minister Yang smiled and suggested to Yang He.
Luo Xianjue and Yang Qian, who were on the side, immediately agreed.
Yang He nodded slightly, his thoughts were similar to those of everyone else.
Although the breech new guns are fast, there is still an interval between them, if two rows of guns are followed by a row of winged tiger soldiers.
The firearms in their hands can be fired three times in a row, and they can also squat to fight, and the enemy rushes in, especially within twenty paces, and shoots at them three times in a row, and any enemy will cry and flee, and his gun array will be even more foolproof.
Of course, the Winged Tiger is a breech gun, or three barrels, and it is very difficult to reload again, basically on the battlefield, it is only a wave.
When to order the Winged Tiger Soldiers to shoot will test the generals' decision-making and judgment ability in the future.
……
Everyone took turns to try to step with the winged tiger gun, and they all played happily.
However, there is also a winged tiger gun for riding, which requires cavalry experience, and I have encountered some itchy hands and wanted to volunteer, but Qian Sanniang has already spoken out, hoping that she will come to test firing.
Watching everyone fight, she was eager to try it, and every time she saw a new firearm, she was very excited, and she couldn't help it at this time.
Yang He agreed, this was originally a weapon for cavalry, Qian Sanniang could fight with both hands, and she was also skilled in equestrianism, so she was indeed a very good candidate for demonstration.
Seeing that her horses have been brought here, she is obviously prepared, the shooting range is very large, and she can also ride horses.
So Qian Sanniang stepped on her snow-hoofed rouge horse in the stirrups, she did not wear armor or gray felt in the village, only wrapped her head with a scarf, and the cloak was a black power suit, wrapped in a more concave and convex figure, and then pinned a heavy sword at the waist, one left and one right two gun sleeve handcuffs.
Yang He saw her get on the horse coldly, Zhang Chuxun handed her a riding winged tiger gun, which had been filled with medicine, and explained some matters to her.
Qian Sanniang listened carefully and said, "Got it." ”
The voice was cold and pleasant, and he took the gun, "Kakaka", and pulled the hammer to the maximum position to be fired.
She held the gun in both hands, controlled the horse with only her waist and legs, trotted slowly, and then raised the gun and aimed at a target about fifty paces ahead.
Everyone held their breath, listened to the sound of "trampling" hooves, and saw that Qian Sanniang didn't hold the reins, but just rose and fell with the horses, and his body rose and fell rhythmically on the horse's back.
Suddenly, Qian Sanniang pulled the board machine, there was a loud bang, the smoke was filled, and the target in front of him was smashed into debris.
Everyone applauded loudly, and Yang He also nodded secretly, riding and shooting is not a simple matter, whether it is with a bow and arrow or a firearm.
Qian Sanniang can hit the target in fifty steps, even on a flat shooting range, it is not easy.
It can be seen that she is very talented in the use of firearms.
At this time, the riding winged tiger gun in her hand, the hammer has been pressed down by the retracting rod, and there is no need to manually pull it down, so she twists the gun tube, and "Kakaka" has a new eyelet.
Then she pulled the trigger again, and then twisted the hose, and then pulled the trigger.
She fired a lot of shots, and switched to three riding winged tiger guns in front and back.
Her results, 50 steps target, three shots and two hits, 30 steps target, four shots and three hits, 20 steps within all hits.
Everyone was amazed, feeling that if they went up, it would be impossible to play such a good result.
Everyone is talking about tactics, after all, there are still few good players like Qian Sanniang, it seems that in the future, it is better for the horse team to fight and shoot at a stationary time, at most trotting.
The cavalry sentry was equipped with this gun, and after the horse fought, they also had sharp firearms within a distance of fifty paces.
Then Qian Sanniang tried to shoot the rocket again, put on gloves on her left hand, and Zhang Chuxun handed her a pair of arrows and arrows for rockets, which were hung on the right front of the saddle.
Qian Sanniang looked at it curiously for a while, and then pulled out the bow frame, although the shape is very similar to a bow, but it does not take several years like a bow tire, only birch wood is sharpened into a bow style, and there is no bowstring.
Then she took it in her left hand, it felt very suitable, and pulled out a rocket from the quiver, Sen Han's heavy arrow, it is estimated that the twelve force bow can shoot such an arrow.
Although she could shoot a ten-force bow, such heavy arrows were rarely used before.
According to Zhang Chuxun's instructions, she flicked the copper cover of the fire fold at the fork of the bow frame, and the copper cover was connected by a thin rope so that it would not be lost, and then blew the fire and the rocket was slammed.
Qian Sanniang shot twenty rockets back and forth, and the shooting range was full of light smoke trails after the rockets flew by, with a constant sound of "whoosh".
She rode and arched, and immediately shot arrows at a stationary moment, and played all kinds of tricks, and after shooting well, she could even shoot at the target at a distance of 100 paces.
However, everyone also saw that she immediately shot arrows when she was stationary, and almost every hundred shots were missed, but when she was riding and archery, most of the arrows were missed.
This is not a problem of Qian Sanniang's archery, but a problem of the characteristics of the rocket.
Generally, the bow and arrow can be turned with the owner's heart, the heart arrives, the arrow is out, and the target is shot.
But the problem is that the rocket, you want to shoot, but the lead is still burning, and it's not time to launch.
When the rocket is launched, the time has passed, especially when it comes to riding fire.
Although the quality of Xin'anzhuang's rockets is very good, the trajectory of the rockets shot out is straight, and it will not fly from side to side, or even fly back in a corner.
However, the difference in the burning time of this kind of lead is basically difficult to control with manpower.
Therefore, everyone discussed the results, and it was better to launch the rocket immediately in the future, and also launch it stationary, and not to run around on the horse.
However, even with this drawback, the weapon of the rocket can be called very sharp.
You don't need to build a strong bow, you don't need to train archers for years, you just need to train like a firebolt.
Especially on horses, it can shoot heavy arrows equivalent to a ten-force bow and a twelve-force strong bow.
That's pretty remarkable.
There are not no people who can open a hard bow immediately, such as Huang Zhong, Li Guang, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and other fierce people, all of whom can open the bow left and right, and shoot fiercely.
However, there are few such people after all, and they generally use five or six force bows as horse bows, and use strong bows such as eight forces, and they will dismount and fight.
Rockets are not among them, and they can be launched right away, because they don't need arm strength, they don't need waist strength.
Yang He admired in his heart, no wonder Qi Jiguang called the rocket an artifact, the merit is not under the bird, he competed in the army, and he was also eighty steps upright, and those who could level the middle were fine, and those who rose and fell crookedly were punished. If the rocket manufacturing method is not perfect, the craftsman will be blamed.
A generation of military gods has such a high regard for rockets, and it really makes sense.
He calculated in his heart that in the future, the cavalry sentry team would be equipped with handguns, winged tiger guns, and rockets.
They fought, with a range of one or twenty paces in handcuffs, and thirty or fifty paces in the winged tiger pipes.
Rockets, you can manage the range of 50 steps to 100 steps, covering all directions without dead ends.
Qian Sanniang was still holding the horse and shooting with great interest, and Li Ruwan saw that her eyes were hot and she also joined.
"Whoosh!" Another rocket whizzed away, with a straight trajectory, and hit a target more than ninety paces away.
Qian Sanniang happily put away the bow frame, this feeling of being able to shoot arrows without using force is too good.
And the winged tiger gun, which she also likes very much.
She decided in her heart that in addition to this rocket, she would also ask Yang Xianggong for two shots with the winged tiger gun.
After that, she would have a bag of rockets, two handguns, and two riding winged tiger guns to gallop on the battlefield.
