Chapter 121: New Ordnance
Chen Di said to Tang Shunzhi and others: "I am ready to defend Nanzhili with the three major battalions of Nanjing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Jiangsu Weisuo army is all stationed in Suzhou. β
Tang Shunzhi interjected: "Is the Flying Tiger Army cooperating with the Jiangsu Weisuo Army to defend Suzhou?" β
Chen Di shook his head, and he said categorically: "A thousand Flying Tiger troops are attacking from Suzhou!" Attack Zhejiang!"
Tang Shunzhi was shocked by Chen Di's bold plan: "Zhenhaibo, with all due respect, a thousand Flying Tiger Army to attack the 100,000 Japanese robbers in Zhejiang? It's tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg! You know, this Thousand Flying Tigers don't have a single firearm! β
Chen Di said: "Who said that the Flying Tiger Army has no firearms? I transferred a batch of firearms from the Ministry of War! When you see these firearms, you will understand that a thousand Flying Tiger troops will not attack 100,000 Japanese robbers with eggs! Also, the 100,000 Japanese are not concentrated in one place, but are stationed in various provinces in Zhejiang! It's like an unreleased fist. All we have to do is shoot their fingers one by one! β
Two hours later, Yu Dayou and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army escorted the batch of firearms back to the camp.
This batch of firearms pulled two hundred carts!
Chen Di led a group of people to the outside of the tent.
Yu Dayou arched his hand and said: "Zhen Haibo, all the firearms have been shipped back!" β
Tang Shunyi saw that there were as many as 200 carts of firearms, and he was overjoyed: "Are all firearms and Furlong fast guns?" That's great! β
Chen Di smiled: "This batch of firearms I brought is not an ordinary firearm!" Come on, unbox! Let's take a look at the power of these firearms! β
Yu Dayou opened a box and took out a tiger power gun. He took a closer look and was shocked: "Zhen Haibo, why don't these firebolts have firestrings?" A torch without an arquebus is no different from a burning stick! β
Chen Di said: "General Yu, take a closer look." β
Tang Shunzhi also picked up a tiger power gun, but he saw the door: "This gun doesn't seem to have been ignited and launched by the fire rope." This stone is flint, right? Could it be that the flint ignited the launch? β
Chen Di nodded and said, "That's right!" It's a flintlock pistol! The name is Tiger Might! The biggest advantage of flintlock pistols compared to arquebuses is that the ignition rate is greatly enhanced! There will be almost no dumb fire! β
Yu Dayou opened a few more boxes: "What are these gadgets wrapped in paper?" β
Chen Di explained: "These are paper shell bullets, and the paper is wrapped in gunpowder and guns! Look! β
Chen Di skillfully pressed a paper shell bullet into the barrel of the tiger powerhouse.
Yu Dayou suddenly realized: "This greatly increases the reloading speed of the firecracker. However, this is not an embroidered pillow. β
Chen Di handed the loaded Tiger Mighty Gun to Yu Dayou, and he looked at a tree a hundred steps away. "General Yu, whether Hu Weiqi is an embroidered pillow or not, you will know if you try it. See that tree a hundred paces away? Shoot that tree. β
Ordinary arquebus, the range is only a few dozen steps. Chen Di asked Yu Dayou to hit a tree a hundred steps away with a tiger might, which seemed to be difficult for some strong people.
Yu Dayou said: "Can this gun shoot a hundred steps? I can't believe that! β
After saying that, he raised his gun, aimed, and excited. "Bang!"
Chen Di sent a soldier over to check, and the gun was impartial and hit the trunk of the tree.
Chen Di smiled: "General Yu is so accurate!" β
Tang Shunzhi said with some surprise: "You can really shoot a hundred steps!" Such a reloading method, such a range, oh my God, this Tiger Mighty Gun is really as good as its name! β
Chen Di said: "The people from the Ministry of War have calculated. The firing range of the Tiger is three times that of ordinary arquebuses, and the firing rate can almost eliminate the situation of dumb fire. Because it is loaded with a paper shell that combines medicine and ammunition, the loading speed can reach five times that of an ordinary arquebus! In other words, the arquebus of the Japanese has fired one shot, and this gun has already fired five shots! β
Yu Dayou asked anxiously: "How many are there in total?" And how many paper shell bullets are there? β
Chen Di replied: "There are a thousand Tiger Might!" There are 80,000 paper shells! β
Yu Dayou said: "A thousand? One thousand brothers of the Flying Tigers can have exactly one each! β
Chen Di took out another grenade.
Qi Jiguang asked curiously, "What is this?" It looks like a trumpet Furlong cannon with an iron-shelled flowering shell with a wooden handle underneath. β
Chen Di handed the grenade to Qi Jiguang: "That's right!" This is an iron-clad flowering bullet thrown by hand! I named it a grenade! You light the fuse and throw it out! β
Qi Jiguang took out a fire fold and lit the fuse of the grenade. Then he threw the grenade with the handle in his hand, with all the strength of milk.
"Boom!" The grenade exploded twenty-five paces away.
"Good!" Tang Shunzhi praised: "If every Flying Tiger Army brings a few small iron-hulled flowering bombs, no, grenades." It's like we're bringing a thousand small Furlong guns! β
Chen Di said: "Although it is not as exaggerated as you say, it is almost the same!" I brought a total of 20,000 grenades this time! β
Yu Dayou said: "With the three things of tiger might, paper shell bullets, and grenades, our thousand flying tiger army is worth 10,000 horses!" β
Chen Di smiled: "Don't worry, I also brought another new weapon!" β
Chen Di took out a leech crossbow from a big cart behind him.
On the ephedra crossbow, there are a total of six crossbow slots. Chen Di gently pulled the crossbow machine and put six crossbow arrows.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Chen Di pulled the crossbow machine and fired six crossbows in a row.
Lu Bing, the commander of the brocade guard, likes to collect all kinds of strange weapons on weekdays. He sighed: "Chen Butang, what kind of crossbow is this? It can even fire six crossbows in a row! This is not the legendary Zhuge Repeater! β
Chen Di said: "This crossbow is called the leech crossbow. The Zhuge Repeater is a legendary thing, but the leech crossbow can really be equipped for the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army! This crossbow can be reloaded six times in a row. The range can be up to thirty paces! β
Hu Zongxian said: "How does this thing seem familiar? By the way, this was not made by the old man named Style Sun in Jianning Mansion? β
Chen Di said: "Ruzhen has a good memory! Style Sun is now the head craftsman of the Ministry of War! β
Chen Di said again: "In addition, I also brought thirty Furlong machine guns!" The shells are also all paper shells! There were two thousand rounds of paper-shell shellsγγγγγγ How about it, can the 1,000 Flying Tiger Army armed with this batch of firearms fight against 100,000 Japanese Bandits? General Yu, I order you to distribute tiger guns, leech crossbows, paper shells, and grenades to the soldiers! Organize and train your soldiers to use these new weapons now! β
Yu Dayou said: "Order!" β
Lu Bing said to Chen Di: "My lord, if there is nothing else, I will go and send the brothers of Nanzhen Fusi to the vicinity of Jiaxing Mansion to find out the military situation of the Japanese Kou!" β
Chen Di said: "The art of war knows oneself and knows that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" This matter is commanded by Lao Lu! β
Lu Bing took the order and left.
Chen Di discussed with Tang Shunzhi again: "A thousand flying tiger troops are just equipped with a thousand tiger mighty guns, and each person is equipped with a leech crossbow." You go to the Jiangsu Weisu Army to select 300 gunners to transfer to the Flying Tiger Army. These 300 gunners are responsible for manipulating 30 Furlong fast guns! β
Tang Shunzhi said: "Although the Jiangsu Weisuo army is weak, it is not difficult to select 300 gunners from tens of thousands of people. β
Chen Di nodded: "Okay!" Once the gunner is chosen, it's up to you to train it! β
