Mr. Xu, many things are completely different from what we imagined, just like this rifling, I know that it is good, the more the better, do you think I don't have that silver?

Wrong! I have the silver! But rifling was too difficult to make, and this gun was captured by the local Franco mercenaries during my campaign in Burma, and later I got the first craftsmen from the Franco in Macau.

They brought the technology and told me that this was the best way to make rifling, and that there was no other way, and I sent someone to the home of the Europa Franco, and came to the same conclusion.

With all I can do so far, in the past three years, I have only more than a thousand rifled flintlock clandests in my hands, and if I ask all the craftsmen under my command to make rifled flintlock crotch, it is not impossible to have a few thousand more.

But the army is in great demand, and in a war like the current one, I need at least tens of thousands of muskets, and if I am given another three years, the production volume will not be able to keep up. ”

Xiao Ruxun explained slowly.

Xu Guangqi asked: "Then if you call all the craftsmen of the Imperial Court to make it together, it should be enough, right?" There are a lot of craftsmen in the imperial court, and they can do a lot of things, and if everyone works together, they will soon be able to complete the number required by the governor, right? ”

"Should?"

Xiao Ruxun smiled coldly: "Those officials of the Ministry of Industry can make bird guns into explosive guns, I have eaten enough of the bitterness of that kind of bombing guns, I really don't dare to compliment their level, at least the bird guns made by the blacksmiths under my command have only had two explosions in the past three years, one is five, and one is six." ”

"When we were in Ningxia at the border, we didn't dare to use the firearms used by the imperial court to fight, according to the standards of the current Burmese town, it is really barely three out of ten can make do with it, and it will blow up at every turn, there is really no knife to use, and even the three-eyed gun, an old firearm hundreds of years ago, is more reliable than them!"

Wang Hui then complained.

"The craftsman skills of the Ministry of Industry are there, but the official management is very problematic, not to mention that the production of this kind of rifled flintlock requires very fine technology, even the iron used in the production cannot be pig iron, it must be good iron, as far as the imperial court is concerned, I really have nothing to say."

Xiao Ruxun shook his head helplessly.

"This ...... This subordinate really doesn't know ......"

Xu Guangqi was speechless.

"So, the army is not reluctant to use firearms to fight, Qi Shaobao's army had a lot of firearms at the beginning, but even Qi Shaobao himself said that the production of Daming firearms is too rough and rough, hurting himself more than hurting the enemy, this kind of firearm is really not as good as a knife, the world says that I am good at using firearms, that is because the firearms I use are all firearms of good quality."

Listening to Xiao Ruxun's words, Xu Guangqi's expression became more subtle.

Xiao Ruxun looked at the battlefield ahead.

"Haven't you come yet?"

"It's almost there, the sentry has found out just now, and the last general has ordered the army to get ready."

Xiao Ruxun nodded, then stared into the distance, and soon, what he wanted to see appeared in his field of vision.

"It's coming!"

Wang Hui walked quickly to the front: "The whole army is ready!" ”

More and more panicked-looking Bei captives appeared in front of the Ming army, the number was staggering, Xiao Ruxun frowned: "There are really a lot of people, what is Li Rusong doing?" Can't kill it all? ”

Xiao Ruxun really blamed Li Rusong, he had worked very hard to kill, but they had a little mistake, that is, they misestimated the number of Beiyu, Beiyu is not 100,000, but tens of thousands, the old and weak women and children are more than expected, it is estimated that the entire Tumut tribe is going south, and this is not all.

Xu Guangqi asked nervously: "Governor, there are so many northern captives, as well as old and weak women and children, what are these ...... Can you handle it? The rate of fire of this gun seems to be very slow, and the range is not enough, so why not use artillery to bombard it first? ”

"With artillery, wouldn't these northern captives turn around and go back and run away in another direction? So what am I here for? I have to give them a little hope, let them rush forward, the faster they rush, the faster they die, these gunners and shield soldiers under my command are not decorations, only if they rush forward with all their strength, we can annihilate this northern captives as much as possible, so that none of them can go back! ”

Xiao Ruxun's words were full of Sen Han's killing intent, which made Xu Guangqi shiver.

"In that case, ......"

Before Xu Guangqi could finish speaking, a gunshot interrupted him.

"What's going on? I didn't give the order to shoot! Who shot it? ”

The gunshots rang out one after another, and Xu Guangqi noticed that it was not the big army that was shooting, the big army was not shooting, it was those Xiao Ruxun's personal soldiers who were shooting!

"The range of the rifled flintlock is more than that of the bird, of course, you have to shoot first, you can rest assured, the musket team under my command has seen the world, and 10,000 cavalry can do it, not to mention these rabble!"

Xiao Ruxun said confidently.

"Frontal against cavalry? Isn't it...... In Shanxi? ”

Xu Guangqi looked at Xiao Ruxun with burning eyes: "Some people once thought that firearms were a magic weapon against cavalry, but firearms have many restrictions and cannot be realized, can they really fight against cavalry now?" You don't need cavalry? ”

"Not like that, but with good training, it's not a problem to defend yourself."

Xiao Ruxun gave an accurate answer, although there is still room for it, but isn't it firearms that will end the cavalry era in the future?

Xu Guangqi, who had recovered, looked at the firearm array in front of him even more with burning eyes.

After countless northern captives were killed, the northern captives who wanted to escape seemed to have a little hesitation, looking at the Ming army waiting in front of them and did not dare to move forward, but there were probably too many northern captives coming from the rear, they couldn't stop their steps, and under a period of chaos, they finally entered the shooting range of the birdman.

"Put !!"

Wang Hui shouted.

"Bang bang ............"

A burst of gunpowder smoke rose, and countless lead bullets flew forward, or not necessarily accurate, but the number was sufficient, under the impact of such a dense northern captive, it was indeed difficult to miss, countless northern captives were knocked to the ground and died on the spot by lead bullets, and more were hit by lead bullets in some parts of their limbs, lying on the ground and rolling around and howling.

Blood splattered, lead flew wildly, the northern captives were dizzy and confused by the dense firepower of Xiao Ruxun's Zhennan army, and there were people running wildly everywhere, not only soldiers with weapons, but also women and children, old and weak, they howled miserably, but it aroused the desire to kill in the hearts of the Ming army even more.
