Chapter 305: Eighty and Two Branches, No Counteroffer!
Mao Chenglu was already stunned on the sidelines, such a result has surpassed many archers who have been trained for many years. Moreover, when the soldiers of the Changxing Army opened the guns, they almost put their faces on the firearms. Isn't he afraid of blowing up his chamber?
Du Ziteng took the firearm in the soldier's hand and handed it to Mao Chenglu without explaining too much, just signaling Mao Chenglu to shoot a few more rounds.
Mao Chenglu took the firecrackle and did not fire it immediately, but carefully inspected the firecracker. The firebolt that had just finished shooting still had residual warmth, and the gun tube was still jet black and shiny, without the slightest crack.
This time Mao Chenglu was relieved, he picked up the fire gun and charged it again and fired continuously at the target. It took a dozen shots in a row to stop until the fifty-step target was smashed.
When he put down the firecracker, he was still a little reluctant, and the Changxing Army had such a good firecracker, no wonder it broke the slave several times. The last time he was in Qingshuipo, he found that the guns of the Changxing Army were sharp, and he experienced it more deeply after getting started in person.
"Good! The Changxing Army has such firearms, no wonder it can defeat Jiannu several times! Mao Chenglu said with a smile on his face.
Buy! Be sure to buy as many as you want! With such a firebolt, are you afraid that there is no Jiannu head? Do you still worry about military merit when you have a head? Do you still worry about money with military merits?
"General, don't worry! There's also a small object that more than doubles the speed at which the firebolt fires! As he spoke, Du Ziteng handed over a small paper tube.
Mao Chenglu took the paper tube and was puzzled, the disadvantage of the gun is that it is too troublesome to fill the gunpowder. There was time to reload the gunpowder, and the enemy had already fired three rounds of feathered arrows.
Can such an inconspicuous paper tube increase the rate of fire of the gun? He didn't believe it!
It was only after the soldiers showed him how to order paper shell bullets that he suddenly realized. Why didn't you think of such a simple truth? In this way, even if the soldiers are nervous during the battle, there will be no overloading of gunpowder and causing the chamber to explode.
"What does the general think of the firebolt?" Du Ziteng asked.
"The fire guns of Immortal Island are extremely sharp, they are truly unparalleled in the world!" Mao Chenglu complimented. Now his mind was all about how many guns he could bring back, and if he could bring back a thousand guns, he would definitely be rewarded by his father-in-law.
As they spoke, they walked slowly, and there was already a 3-pounder gun there. The artillery around is ready and ready to fire.
As usual, there is also a cannon cast by the Ministry of Engineering, which is twice as large, next to the artillery on Changsheng Island, and the comparison between the two can better see the advantages and disadvantages of the artillery.
Mao Chenglu just glanced at the artillery cast by the Ministry of Industry and left, he had seen too many such artillery.
Not to mention the heaviness of the artillery, the shells fired were not flying in a straight line. It's all a matter of luck to hit the target, and sometimes it's going to blow up. The surrounding artillery will have to follow the bad luck, and if it doesn't happen, the whole artillery crew will die. The use of such artillery is a risk, the gunners can only reduce the charge, and whether the fired projectile can hit the target or not can only be hehe.
The cannon cast on Changsheng Island is obviously much smaller, and the cannon body is even smoother, without a little trachoma bubbles. The inside of the barrel is also extremely smooth, and it looks like it has been carefully polished. The walls of this gun are much thinner than those of the Ministry of Engineering, so won't such a gun blow up?
Later, the Changxing army first fired at a target a mile away with artillery cast by the Ministry of Labor, and after the gunners loaded the gunpowder, they lit the long fuse and turned to run.
They simply couldn't believe in such shoddy artillery, for fear that they would hurt themselves by exploding it. It took five shots in a row to hit the target, and there were already obvious cracks in the artillery, which could not be used at all.
Mao Chenglu, who was watching from a distance, nodded, and the fifth middle school was also rare in Phi Dao. The gunner of the Changxing Army was really powerful, and he just wanted to praise a few words, but the artillery of the Changxing Army began to operate the 3-pounder gun again and began to shoot.
This time, instead of using the fuse, the soldiers stabbed the cannon hole directly with red-hot iron tongs. The other two artillerymen did not flee as they had just done, and were preparing for the next shelling.
The first shell of the first round hit the target, and in the next few rounds, all but one hit the edge of the target.
Only then did Du Ziteng say on the side: "It seems that they are going to be punished!" The shot just now was too bad! Sure enough, the three gunners were reprimanded by an officer who looked like a captain. Then he started running laps on the school field, and Mao Chenglu, who was on the side, was dumbfounded.
Six or seven shells were fired, and only one shot missed a little was punished. How many such gunners are in the Changxing Army? Phi Island is not a single easy log!
On the way back, Mao Chenglu had been thinking about how to get as many guns as possible from Changsheng Island, and when he was distracted, the officer just now made a three-hand gesture to Du Ziteng covertly.
Du Ziteng suddenly felt a pain in his flesh, and Liu Xitian of Temu. begged him to do such a trivial matter, and he had to invite three banquets in the VIP building.
It seems that he will have to stick oil on Mao Chenglu for a while, otherwise he will have to pour money into it.
The two returned to the hall, and Mao Chenglu took a big sip of the tea bowl. wiped the tea on his mouth with his hand and said, "Mr. Du, please make a price!" How many such guns do I want on Phi Island! After seeing the sharpness of the cannon on Changsheng Island, Mao Chenglu decided to hollow out the cannon on Changsheng Island.
At that time, he commanded an all-firearms army, and he would definitely be able to sweep Jiannu and recover Liaodong......
Du Ziteng's face suddenly smiled brighter than a flower, "The inferior firecracker of the Ministry of Industry should be about ten taels of silver, and the firecracker of my Immortal Island is different." Not only is it sufficient, the range is long, but there is no need to worry about exploding. Therefore, each eighty taels will not be counteroffered, and ten more paper shell bullets will be given, all of which are tie-ins! ”
Hearing Du Wisteria's offer, Mao Chenglu almost fell off the chair. What the? Eighty taels! No counteroffer, why don't you grab it?
"The price given by Mr. Du is not Makoko at all, farewell!" After Mao Chenglu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Du Ziteng didn't get up at all, he silently recited in his seat: "One, two, three......" When he found ten, he didn't see Mao Chenglu stop, Du Ziteng couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that I have done all this errand, so wait and ask the marshal for his guilt!
Just as he was about to get up, he saw Mao Chenglu return to the hall. Pick up the already cold tea and drink it down, then lay the teacup heavily on the table.
"Mr. Du! Just give me a real price! At the price of eighty taels, we can't buy many of them on Phi Dao, and the number of firecrackers is small, and it can't resist the attack of the slaves. Then we won't buy it! Mao Chenglu said angrily.
The departure just now was not a temptation, and it was obvious that Changsheng Island had the upper hand in this encounter.
Who makes the fire of the house sharp! I heard that the Franco-Rang machine people in Macau also have excellent firearms in their hands, but it is a long way to go there, and there are many bandits. Why don't you buy it near Changsheng Island!
