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 Lin said, if it weren't for the influence of this, it would have been possible to send a naval army to directly attack 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 Lin wore a helmet to inspect the battalions, a battle during the day, both sides suffered heavy casualties, the volunteers alone, more than 100 people were killed in the battle, and the wounded were 500 people.

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

When they returned to the prefect's yamen, they saw that Qian Bangqi and others were there, and everyone saw Yang Lin's gloomy face, and they 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 Lin also felt quite strange when he heard everyone's complaints, and sighed for a long time: "Everyone, at that time, all the generals were already old, 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 Lin threw his fierce helmet on the case, and 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 Lin was overjoyed, and people found "The Illustration of the Military Flag", which introduced a variety of firearms.

Such as the crossbow, the bird, the three-stage attack of the stacked formation (take turns to release the gun, take turns to enter the gun, take turns to load the gun), take turns to send Nutu, the winged tiger cannon, the wind chasing gun, the god flying cannon, the self-generated bird gun knife gun, the rocket gate, the old Wugang car, etc.

It is recorded in the Book of Native Birds as:

In case of inconvenience in the wind and rain, use this gun.

(In the past) must first open the fire door, is to the enemy to raise the fire, often by the phoenix jade wet and can not fire, there are not in time to shine on the stars and mistakenly fired.

The faucet must be transformed, and the news makes the flint touch machine spontaneously hit and the medicine is fired to spontaneously combust the stone fire, and the wind and rain can be collected when the wet is not bleached.

As a modern person, of course, I know the value, in the past, because the time was too short to quote, I was more worried about the process of changing the process, after today's battlefield experience, considering the needs of future operations, it is more important to use existing technology, so we boldly experiment with new methods.

The craftsman was found to transform according to the drawings, and the transformation was completed in less than a day (there are drawings).

As recorded in the "Illustrated Legend of the Military Flag", this autogenous bird gun is mainly changed by hitting the flint with a hammer, igniting the ignition powder on it, and firing it.

In addition, flint faucets and other components have a protective effect on the gunpowder in the medicine room, and they are not afraid of wind and rain at all.

Even if the larger spring is replaced, the trigger force is doubled, and the firing rate is only six or seven percent, which may be the reason why many riflemen have calluses on their fingers in the past.

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 newborn flintlock pistols are not without merit, and in some places they have obvious advantages, the most important of which is that they are affected by the weather and climate like arquebuses.

In general stormy weather, although the ignition success rate will also decrease, it can also reach four or five percent, unlike the bird gun that cannot be used normally in stormy days. (On rainy days, bird guns cannot be used normally, and many domestic troops hide in the woods to shoot.) ）

Other than that, the biggest change is the change in the battle formation.

In the past, arquebuses were used for fear of igniting the gunpowder with an open flame, but with flintlock pistols, the gunners could be kept close together without worrying about misfire, as was the case with arquebuses.

There is no doubt that the newborn autonymous bird has too many deficiencies from birth, just like the 200-year-long debate in history, where there are two polar opinions.

Some people admire arquebuses, which have a high firing rate.

As a crossing clan, Yang Lin didn't dare to cut it all out of the way, in order to level the bowl of water, in addition to encouraging everyone to use flintlock pistols, he also asked everyone to find a way to serve the problem of bird guns.

Agreeing with the opposition, the main problem of flintlock pistols is to solve the problem of ignition rate, that is, to solve the problem of pulling the trigger too hard.

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 Lin 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.

Just like in the history of Europe, it took two hundred years for the autogenous bird to achieve an overwhelming advantage, and although the historical development process of the crossing tribe did not dare to interfere too much with the laws of society
