Zhang Dingguo originally wanted to lead his troops to pursue, but the casualties of the various units were heavy, and the loyal and righteous army quickly withdrew into the fortifications, and it was even more difficult to recover the battle situation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was a drizzle in the sky, and everyone was frustrated, such a great opportunity actually fell short, and the culprit was a rainy day, and the bird gun could not be launched on a rainy day.

As Yang Xuan said, if it weren't for the influence of this, it would have been possible to send a naval army to go straight to the crossing, cut off the flow of people, send two battalions of soldiers and horses to intercept the reinforcements, and then concentrate all his strength, and he would definitely be able to completely annihilate Zhang Dingguo's department.

Let the drizzle fall on his neck, Yang Xuan wore a helmet to inspect the battalions, a battle during the day, both sides suffered heavy casualties, the loyal army alone, more than 100 people were killed in the battle, and the wounded were 500 people.

Seeing Yang Xuan passing by, many people were frustrated, and from afar, they heard some people scolding God for not being beautiful.

After appeasing everyone, they returned to the prefect's yamen and saw that Qian Bangqi and others were there, and everyone saw Yang Xuan's gloomy face, and comforted them one by one.

Although this bird gun is powerful, it also has a fatal problem, that is, it needs to be ignited by the arquebus, in case of rain and snow, the arquebus is not ignited, and the bird gun can only be used as a stick (now it can be used as a spear when it is pressed on the spur).

Just like the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming general Ma Lin led his troops to fight with the Manchurian Eight Banners when the fierce battle was in full swing, and the Ming army was forced to only light the pine branches, with a gun in one hand and a lit pine branch in the other hand to ignite the ignition powder and fire.

Battle of Sarhu? Isn't it the biggest battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, the Ming army was menacing that day, but unfortunately the Later Jin probed the Ming army's military situation, concentrated the main force to defeat the main force of the Ming general Juniper Department, and then broke each one and won the victory.

Talking about the battle of Sarhu, everyone in the audience sighed for a long time, and many people couldn't understand why Nurhachi knew the route of the Ming army's march and was able to break through each one?

If it weren't for the heavy rain that day, which prevented the firearms from being used, it would have been even more difficult for the Ming army to defeat the Juniper Division.

If Marin is undefeated, and the other three Ming armies drive straight in, the scourge of Houjin will inevitably be eradicated.

If there is no disaster of Houjin, how can the Ming Dynasty not levy any salary, how can it be a rogue, how can the Ming Dynasty be as fragmented as it is today, and how can Emperor Chongzhen commit suicide in the coal mountain.

Yang Xuan also felt quite strange when he heard everyone's complaints, and sighed for a long time: "Everyone, at that time, all the generals were probably already in the past, and if you want to make the asphalt incident right or wrong, it is probably unlikely.

The route of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and the time of the march must be an extremely confidential matter in the army, but it was actually known by Nurhachi. ”

When everyone heard this, they also nodded, and everyone speculated about the spies, some said Li Rubai, some said others, etc., to name a few.

Yang Xuan's fierce helmet was thrown on the case, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he scolded: "If Lao Tzu wants to find out that traitor to the enemy, he will definitely divide his five horses."

Ladies and gentlemen, the weakness of the bird gun is very obvious, that is, it is difficult to fight on windy days and heavy rainy days.

If we don't need an arquebus, can we light it in some other way, such as flint for fire, or whatever? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone didn't know how to answer, at this moment, Yin Chengqi's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said: "My lord, I once read a book, which was written by Bi Maokang, a Jinshi of this dynasty, and it seems to be called "Illustrated Weapons of Weapons", which has a kind of bird gun, which can be launched without using the fire rope. ”

Yang Xuan was overjoyed, and asked people to find the "Military Flag Diagram", and when he opened it, he not only introduced various firearms, but also had a flintlock pistol, which was ignited through flint.

Let people find craftsmen, according to the drawings to transform, less than a day to complete the transformation (there are drawings), look at it, mainly by hammer hitting on the flint, ignite the ignition powder on it, and fire.

Even if the larger spring is replaced, the trigger force is doubled, and the ignition rate can only be guaranteed to be five or six percent.

Even so, the flintlock pistol has obvious advantages, that is, it is not affected by the weather and climate like the arquebus, even if people fan the fan next to it to imitate a windy day, let people sprinkle water next to it, and imitate a rainy and snowy day, the ignition success rate is reduced to three or four percent.

This is not like the arquebus, which is ignited by an open flame, and the ignition rate is basically 100%, and the arquebus is far stronger than the flintlock pistol from the ignition results.

But on the other hand, flintlock pistols also have many advantages, such as easier to fire, more convenient to shoot, and no worries about blowing out the fire rope on rainy and windy days.

In addition to this, there was also a change in tactics, in the past, with arquebuses, there was a certain gap between the gunners due to the fear of igniting the gunpowder due to the use of open flames, but with the use of flintlock pistols, the gunners could be completely close together, unlike the arquebus, which was not worried about misfire.

Seeing such a result, everyone has two polar opinions, some people admire the flintlock pistol, some people admire the arquebus, as a crossing clan, Yang Xuan of course has an open-minded attitude, in addition to encouraging everyone to use the flintlock pistol, but also calmly The main problem of the flintlock pistol is to solve the problem of ignition rate, that is, to solve the problem of pulling the trigger too much.

Until the above problems are solved, the flintlock pistol can be used in parallel with the arquebus, and when the above problems are completely solved, the flintlock pistol can completely replace the arquebus.

Looking at the newly modified flintlock pistol in front of them, everyone was full of emotion, Yang Xuan picked it up again and looked at it, it seems that a technological innovation is not always smooth sailing.

Let Gou Fugui, the general office of the Ordnance Bureau, continue to experiment, replace other ordinary springs with good springs, secretly modify 100 of them, and equip them to the guard battalion for trial.

At the same time, Yang Xuan sent an envoy to the Great Western Army, hoping that the two sides could strike their troops and join hands to fight against the Manchu Tatars.

Seeing that the loyal army wanted to make peace, Zhang Dingguo was furious, and fought during the day, if it were not for the rain in the sky, if the army of Bai Wenxuan's army arrived, most of its troops would inevitably suffer casualties and lose their combat effectiveness.

In the past, it has always been said that the firearms of the loyal and righteous army are sharp, and it was only during the day of the battle that they realized that what they said was true, and the battlefield was full of iron sand and lead bullets, and thick smoke was billowing out, which could not only penetrate the iron armor at close range, not to mention the cloth shirts and quilts worn by ordinary soldiers.

Looking at the dead corpses all over the ground, most of them were soldiers of the Great Western Army, and many of them were old subordinates who had followed him for many years.

Now that the reinforcements have arrived, it is raining again and again, occupying and turning to the Great Western Army, at this time to talk about joining forces to resist the Qing, this is not a delaying tactic?

Beat Zhang Lang away with a stick, and Zhang Dingguo ordered all his troops to attack on a rainy day.

In order to guard against the firearms of the loyal and righteous army, when attacking, they used a chariot or wet quilt in front, and they hid in the back one by one Onishi soldiers who were waiting for the day.

Firearms in this era were not very powerful, and although the projectile could shoot through two layers of quilt, the wet quilt could also resist the projectile at a distance.

Just like the concept of impulse in previous lives, impulse is the product of mass and velocity, and also the product of drag and time.

The car is a commonly used machine in ancient times, with four wheels underneath, and the car is blocked with thick wooden planks to cover the bow and arrow and lead bullet from the opponent's array.

Taking advantage of the windy weather, rain and snow, the Great Western Army used fences and wet quilts as cover to continuously press over.

Although the battalions of the Loyal and Righteous Army were equipped with grenadiers to throw improved versions of the earth-shaking thunder at the rogues behind the escape cart and behind the wet quilt, and the sky-shaking thunder equipped with wooden handles could often throw more than 30 steps, the number of grenadiers in each battalion was relatively small (three groups in one brigade, and no more than twelve groups in one battalion), and the damage to the opponent was limited.

In addition, the bow and arrow are used to shoot from a distance, the crossbowman stands in front of the array at a 45-degree angle and shoots the crossbow into the sky, and the crossbow falls vertically under the action of gravity, killing and injuring the crowd hiding behind the fence and wet quilt.

However, the sky was cloudy and rainy, and the firearms of the loyal army were difficult to play a role, and the Great Western Army was not afraid of death under the supervision of Zhang Dingguo, and after several days of fierce fighting between the two sides, the Great Western Army gradually controlled the first and second lines of defense, and its forward was now approaching under the city wall.

After several days of research, Yang Xuan concluded that in order to thwart the attack of the Great Western Army, it was necessary to use a large number of improved earth-shaking thunderbolts.

Taking advantage of the rainy weather, Yang Xuan urged all battalions and brigades to form grenadier teams, and urged the Ordnance Bureau to rush to produce 3,000 earth-shattering thunderbolts overnight.
