For the time being, Zhang Zhugong and the others are not making new firearms, and they are busy with all kinds of parts all day long, and now Yang He is also planning to modify the bird gun, which will be even more lacking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

They had to make new copper bolts, and a hundred bird guns had to be modified, which was a lot of work.

According to different calibers, these copper bolts are also of different sizes, but the common feature is that each copper bolt plugs the breech, which needs to withstand a high chamber pressure, and the strength of each copper bolt is very large.

The best way is to stamp, but now there is no way, the casting strength seems to be quite insufficient, and the size of each gun is different, can not use a unified mold, can only be hand-made fine grinding.

Fortunately, Yang He got a pair of vernier calipers, and in terms of measuring the size, Zhang Zhugong and others will be more relaxed.

And also......

"One-headed bullet?"

Zhang Chuxun said in surprise.

Yang He nodded, and he drew the shape on the wooden board to explain the function, making the eyes of the three Zhang Chugong brothers light up again.

Yang He asked the three brothers to make three molds to make this one-headed bullet, and used it for Zhang Zhugong, as well as the defeated soldiers Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng.

To be honest, his current firearms team is all amateurs, even Luo Xianjue and others seem to be quite unprofessional, but the two new defeated soldiers Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng seem to be fighting well, so let the two of them and Zhang Chugong use a single-headed bullet with high accuracy.

At the same time, Yang He sighed in his heart, the size and caliber of this firearm are different, and the pressure on logistics is too great.

Yang He asked the three brothers to give priority to solving the copper bolt that used the one-headed bullet, and the rest of the firearms soldiers would wait slowly.

Fortunately, he bought two hundred catties of brass, which was enough in terms of raw materials, and some charcoal, plus the original storage in the village, which was sufficient as fuel.

In fact, it is best to use coking coal, but now Yang He has no way, financial resources, material resources, and talents are obstacles restricting his development.

Yang He asked the three brothers to make two more flintlock pistol springs, and the rest of the soldiers used the arquebus to ignite the fire.

Also, the original arquebus faucet parts that Zhang Chugong replaced can also be used and replaced with other bird guns.

At this time, many arquebuses have a disadvantage, that is, after the primer of the fire door is ignited, the impact force will often cause the fire rope to break away from the faucet.

In fact, this is not a drawback, but the result of cutting corners.

Many arquebus faucets have only one hole, and the hole is only about half the length of the little finger, and the arquebus is just worn on it, as is the case with Japanese birds.

If it is loosely covered in this way, the impact force of the gunpowder will of course cause the fire rope to impact backwards and break away.

In fact, there is another step in the excellent arquebus faucet, that is, there is a plug-like thing on the faucet, and you can squeeze the arquebus tightly by moving it down.

On Zhang Chugong's arquebus faucet, there is such a plug, no matter how strong the impact of gunpowder is, it will not make the fire rope impact backwards.

Of course, if you pull it by hand, it's easy to pull it.

Yang He had seen the batch of bird guns he bought, and some of the firearm faucets were missing plugs and needed to be replenished.

……

Another five days later.

The snow was falling and the sky was rather gloomy.

Yang He stood, and the snowflakes kept falling on his head, and on the cloak, a piece of snow was white.

A gust of wind swept through the snow, making people shiver.

Yang He looked up at the sky, felt the chill in the air, and thought, "It's getting colder, but it's snowing." ”

He squinted for a while, and then looked at the middle of the field, when the "tiger" shouted loudly, which was quite imposing.

There was a neat thud, the sound of military boots on the fine sand, and the soldiers were marching, carrying shields and spears, each with a red face, and their steps were raised high, and they fell heavily, and some of the fine sand mixed with the snow was trampled and splashed.

Yang He looked intently, half a sound, he nodded, now the team is marching a little like this, and the soldiers are marching with the drum beat, a bit of an army.

However, the movement of the queue was unbearable, and Yang He learned from Yuan Shikai's practice and tied a red belt on everyone's right hand, so that the orthodox illiterate soldiers could distinguish between the left and right.

Then their cohort training progressed at a rapid pace.

Hu Employment and Zeng Youyu stomped their feet in the back of their heads, Han Daxia and Zhang Chugong stood behind them, all of them straight, motionless in the wind and snow, snowflakes fell on their felt hats and cloaks from time to time, a large area of snow.

Minister Yang carried a stick and stood beside Yang He, staring at him.

At this time, I heard Hu Yiyi shouting: "Turn right and walk in." ”

Another neat shout: "Tiger." ”

All the young and strong people roared with the strength to eat, but it was Yang He who followed the training in the Qi family's army, and every time there was a drink order, the word "tiger" should be used.

The three should be "tiger" sounds, and the tigers and tigers of later generations should be plagiarized by the Japanese Qi Jiguang.

A drummer hung a broken drum on his chest, and he beat the drum: "Knock knock

The beat of the drums was simple, but rhythmic, and then the soldiers marched along with the beat, their cotton gloves, their swords and shields, their spears holding their spears, and the rhythmic sound of their steps.

Both the old and the new seem to have become a neat one, breaking something and blending in something.

They stepped one by one, their steps were raised high, and they fell neatly, and everyone did not feel cold in the cold weather, and even many people walked sweating profusely.

With enough nutrition and reasonable training, their peasant temperament slowly faded and transformed into soldiers.

Zhang Chugong said excitedly: "Xianggong, if you continue to practice like this, you can expect to strengthen the army." ”

Yang He nodded lightly, this is how the steel is trained, constantly forged, removing impurities, and finally getting good steel.

The temperament of these young soldiers has been revealed.

He beckoned back, and there was a clanging sound of iron armor, but it was Chen Qiuao who came up wearing a set of Ming armor, an eight-petal hat and an iron-pointed helmet, the iron armor and arms and hands below, and the armor pieces were all made of fine iron, and there were necks full of finely broken nail leaves around the neck, and at the same time, there was a robe around the waist.

Robes were more common in the Tang and Song dynasties, but in the late Ming Dynasty, except for the Jinyi Wei Han generals, the rest of the soldiers rarely used it, because at this time it was mostly dark armor.

However, Yang He believes that it is necessary to use the robe belly to enhance the beauty of the dress, and at the same time to prevent the swords, bows and arrows and other instruments worn on the waist from rubbing against the metal armor and causing damage, which has a certain functionality.

So he added a robe belly.

Chen Qiuao came up with a knife on his waist, and his heavy steps stepped on the snow, one step at a time.

The armor pieces are all painted red, hidden in the cloak and cloak, looming, very pleasing to the eye.

Yang He raised his hand, Hu Yiyi saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop." ”

There was another neat "tiger" sound, and the young people stopped.

Yang He looked at everyone and raised his voice: "You practice hard, and if you have excellent results, you can get iron armor and join the commando." ”

For a while, everyone's eyes were on Chen Qiuao.

A lot of people's eyes are shining, iron armor.

The team has already begun to practice weapons, and Yang He thinks that it is important to go from easy to difficult, so they temporarily learn a trick and block the sword and shield hands.

Block all the opponent's attacks with a long card, protect yourself and cover the spearmen behind you, and only occasionally stab a few times with your waist knife.

Because the long card is heavier, the person who is selected as the sword and shield hand is also a person with a relatively thick body.

The spearman also learns a trick, stabbing.

The coordination of the arms is very important, any single sword and shield soldiers, spearmen will not do, especially spearmen, if they are close to the enemy, it is a tragedy.

Qi Jiguang once said: "The husband must use the long instrument for a short time, what is it?" If you don't know how to use the spear for a short time, you can't hit it, or you can't get it in a tight place, and you can't retreat when you get into it, and you can't retreat, so it's a mistake for the long, that is, with your bare hands, you must go hand in hand. Its one-handed gun, this is called a desperate bet, and the disadvantages of this Yang family gun are also. ”

He believes that every long soldier must learn the method of short-term use, so as to prevent the old from being forced into by the enemy.

But this was too difficult, so Yang He used his sword and shield hand to block the front, and with cover, the spearman did not have to learn this trick, he hid behind the sword and shield hand and stabbed the enemy fiercely.

In this way, the long player covers the spearman, and the spearman supports the long player, and cooperates with each other, both long and short.

Soon the queue training ended, and the weapon drill began.

The sound of the arrows creeching, from time to time "tuk-tuk" hit on the long cards, but they were all wooden arrows, and the arrows were wrapped in linen cloth and stained with white ash.

But it was Minister Yang, Han Daxia, Hu Employment and others who kept shooting arrows at the team, and then a row of shields pressed, and everyone almost shrank behind a one-person-high shield, and although the arrows shot quickly, they were basically blocked by the shields.

The shield was slow, but the pace was firm, and there were the occasional shouts of officers to keep the soldiers in order, and between the shields, a spear with a sharp spear shining with metal in the snowflakes, like a turtle with sharp thorns.

Minister Yang and the others retreated, and then there was a row of dummies made of straw here, and important parts such as the throat, heart, and lower abdomen were marked.

Zeng Youyu has always been walking next to the team, he is the assassination instructor, who asked him to use the palladium, which is very similar to the use of a spear.

However, at this time, there was no oily and grinning look, and he was serious, and he suddenly shouted: "Kill!" ”

The body is slightly sideways, the outer figure eight steps, and the palladium in his hand is straightened, and he stabs out fiercely.

He pierced the heart of the straw dummy with the sound of the wind, and if the real person was stabbed, there must be six holes in the front and back.

"Kill!"

There was a roar behind the shield, and a spear was also pierced, very sharp.

Yang He nodded, the training is still effective, and now the establishment of his killer team is a team of five rows, then there are two rows of sword and shield men, and three rows of spearmen.

An inner row of sword and shield men was at the front, followed by two rows of spearmen.

Finally, there is a row of sword and shield bearers and spearmen, as combat readiness and casualty substitutes.

After the training of young and strong, the old and weak women in the village will also be trained in the future.

In fact, these people have been eliminated all the way, and they are no longer very old and weak, they can also fight, but they can't compare to the young and strong.

After getting on the right track, all kinds of training in the future will also form a drill code and become the assembly line training that Yang He is looking forward to.

……

After watching the killer team drill, he came to the firearms team, and the two were some distance away, and there was also a shooting range.

The queue training here has been completed, and the training of raising the gun, aiming, and loading ammunition has begun.

In the distance, I heard Luo Xianjue's constant roaring voice: "Hold the gun, lower the shoulder, raise the gun......"

There are 50 firearms soldiers, but there are 100 bird guns, and although Zhang Zhugong and them make copper bolts, they still have extra bird guns to train.

For the time being, they practiced according to the firing procedure of the arquebus, and Yang He also set the training steps, and the instructors and officers drew gourds in the same way.

According to the Spanish military records, arquebuses had forty-three training steps, but Yang used cartridge ammunition, many of which had been subtracted.

Yang He looked at it for a while, and many firearms soldiers were in a hurry, especially those who had never touched firearms before.

Compared to the killer squad soldier who only practiced one move, the procedure of the firearm is too complicated.

He walked towards the stage, and soon walked back, but he changed into a set of clothes, wearing a winter felt hat on his head, wearing an exposed blue fat jacket, and then carrying a customized cardboard shell oilcloth bag on his right, a coconut scoop bag on his left, a kettle in it, and a head-solving knife pinned to the right side.

A button-type leather strap is tied around the waist to tie the straps on both sides so that the satchel and water bottle will not shake when running.

Finally, he wore a woollen cloak and gloves, and the same was true of the clothing and equipment of the firearms soldiers in the future.

Seeing Yang He coming, there was a whispering voice in the field.

Everyone has different expressions, every time they see Yang Xianggong dressed like this, they are in the same spirit, and in their manners, they are like a battle-hardened firearms soldier.

At the same time, there is a kind of cordiality......

Yang He was holding a breech arquebus in his hand, the arquebus on it had been lit, he looked at everyone and said lightly: "If you have good grades in the future, you can get this latest new anquebus." ”

He slammed the copper bolt machine that was bent down, and with a crisp sound of metal, the copper bolt had been pulled apart, revealing the black muzzle.

Then Yang He took out a fixed cartridge ammunition from his satchel and stuffed it into the muzzle.

He pushed the copper bolt again, and with a bang, the front end of the copper bolt had been inserted into the muzzle, and the rest of the copper cap was outside.

Yang He pressed it again, and there was another bang, and the copper bolt machine was stuck in a hardwood hollow groove to the right, and the edge of the hollow groove was polished quite smooth.

At the same time, the cartridge ammunition inside was cut, and the rustling primer poured into the fire door nest.

Look at the compartment cover, it also wraps part of the breech into it, forming a heavy protection.

The reload is over?

Everyone below was dumbfounded, how many breaths was this?

Yang He raised his gun and aimed at the target, seventy steps away, he pulled the plate machine, and immediately the dragon head fell with the fire rope, and at the same time, the yin and yang machine of the fire gate nest flashed, and the burning fire rope accurately fell into the fire door nest.

With a loud bang, the primer of the fire gate was ignited, and along the hole in the fire gate, the gunpowder in the gun tube was ignited.

The smoke of the canopy rose up, not only the fire door nest, but also the mouth of the gun shot out fierce smoke, and there were surging sparks.

The target seventy paces away was smashed into debris, and its momentum was extremely fierce.

And after the arquebus head falls, under the action of the spring plate, it automatically returns to the position to be fired, and there is no need to press the hammer and then buckle it like a flintlock pistol.

Yang He squatted down violently again, he pulled the copper bolt with a bang, white smoke was rising inside, black powder and paper shell bullets, smoke could not be avoided, he didn't care, and took out the fixed paper bullet from the satchel, stuffed it into the muzzle, and then filled it again and fired.

He squatted like this and fired three shots, each time it was extremely fast, and finally he lay down, reloaded, and fired!

Everyone below was even more dumbfounded, how much breath is this, how many shots has Yang Xianggong already made?

What kind of gun is this, so sharp?

Can you also lie down and fight, squat?

At the same time, everyone was amazed, whether they were newcomers or old people, they had actually seen Yang He's ability, and they couldn't imagine that Yang Xianggong would use a firearm, and he was so elite and outstanding, what else would Yang Xianggong not know?

The sound of guns was one after another, the white smoke was filled, and the smell of gunpowder smoke faintly entered the nose, watching Yang He shoot, all the firearms soldiers below were with their mouths wide open.

Guan Feng and Hu Yansheng also watched with wide eyes, and Guan Feng muttered: "What kind of gun is this, it can be loaded from the back of the chamber, and it can also be squatted and beaten on its stomach...... Brother Huyan, is that a thunderbolt? Looks like you've used that gun......"

Hu Yansheng frowned, he had used the thunderbolt, but ...... Seem...... It seems to ......

At this time, the first deputy tiger squatted and glanced at them with disdain, and said, "Didn't Xianggong say it, this gun is called Xin'an Gong." ”

This simple man happily said: "This gun is so good, it is loaded from the back of the buttocks, if only I had this gun." ”

Ma Xiang, the chief of the armor, said mysteriously: "I heard that this gun is called Xianggong Gong, and it was designed by Yang Xianggong himself. ”

Yang He's performance shook the hearts of all the firearms soldiers and aroused their great enthusiasm for training.

Everybody wants to have a new one.

……

Another four days later.

The sky and the earth are vast, the snow is falling continuously, and the field is white.

The door of Xin'an Village opened, and there were four horses staggering out of the village, but it was Han Daxia, Chen Qiuao, Zeng Youyu, and Hu Employment.

Yesterday, Han Daxia saw that there seemed to be bandits snooping around, and after he reported it, Yang Xianggong attached great importance to it and ordered Han Daxia to continue to go out.

For safety, Chen Qiuao and the three of them were accompanied by him, and they were all wearing heavy armor. (To be continued.) )
