This is the musket!? It turned out to be a musket? Li Zhe held the stupid big thick black iron pipe in his hand, and his eyes were full of confusion! The appearance of this thing in his hand is "honest and simple", no matter how you look at it, it looks like the kind of water pipe in the later family, and it is also the rusty kind, which is really the musket of this era.

Nowadays, the Chinese people call it a fire gun, known as a weapon that destroys people within a hundred steps, beats the northern captives crying and calling their mothers, and fears them like tigers?

Li Zhe snorted in his heart, disappointed, and turned around again, and saw the blacksmith who presented this "treasure" to himself behind him, his face was still full of joy, and his heart was speechless.

This kind of firearm may only be able to exert its power in the military array, so what is the use of Li Zhe asking for it?

Thoughtful in his mouth, he asked:

"How could this firebolt be so heavy, so there was no lighter one? This thing weighs so much...... I'm afraid it's not very easy to use. ”

As he spoke, Li Zhe also tried to flatten this firebolt, learning the way he learned to shoot against the shoulder during military training in later universities, okay! can't hold it up at all, although this tube looks stumbling, but the weight is probably more than a dozen catties! Even if it is on the battlefield, it can be used as an iron rod, which is the so-called heavy arquebus in this era.

It's really heavy!

There is only one handle behind this musket, and there is no butt used by later muskets to reach the shoulder, which makes Li Zhe how to aim and shoot.

In fact, he had thought that the musket of this era would be difficult to use, but he did not expect that it would be such a bad method.

Did the Northern Expedition of the National Dynasty use this thing to defeat the fierce Northern Captives? Drove the northern captives to the grassland in the north, Li Zhe was a little suspicious.

The gunsmith listened to Li Zhe's words, and was stunned, as if he didn't expect Li Zhe to react like this, as a craftsman who eats this bowl of rice, he is obviously here to offer guns to people today, hoping to please people and ask for a reward, but he didn't expect to be disgusted with his own handiwork? Naturally, I was unhappy.

Aren't all made of that fire gun so heavy, if it's not so heavy, how can it be so powerful! Especially look at the weird appearance of Li Zhe trying the fire gun, obediently! Where do you dare to use this firebolt, aren't you afraid that the sparks coming out of the fire door will spray your eyes? It turns out that this old man in this house obviously doesn't know how to use firecrackers!

Blacksmith Zhang thought to himself, this nobleman, no wonder the boss has not yet won the title, so uninformed, it must be the hillbilly master from the island over there in Dingyuanzhou! In these years, I don't even know how to use firearms, I don't know how to use them, and I don't know what kind of battles these old men can fight when they go to the battlefield, how much martial arts do they have?

Did the dynasty rely on such old men to go to the battlefield to protect the people?

The gunsmith thought this in his heart, and his face suddenly showed a little worry, and he replied:

"Official! This firebolt, that's all such a heavy method! ”

There was some anger in his words, he stepped forward to take the gun in Li Zhe's hand, broke the dragon's head, applied medicine, clamped the fire rope, and continued to explain to Li Zhe while fiddling, the fire gun that was heavy in Li Zhe's hand just now seemed to be playing with a flower in his hand:

"The thicker and heavier the gun is built, the more powerful the gun will be, so if it is not thick, it must be known that the strength of this gun can all rely on the gunpowder in this gunpowder, the more the medicine is loaded, the farther it will be farther to fight, how can it be as explosive as the gunpowder inside?

My old Zhang has been doing this business for decades, and it is known from far and near that how many old men want to buy my old Zhang's guns, and the old men in other mansions are afraid that it will explode, and they have ordered this gun to be made thicker and heavier, the better,"

Anyway, no matter how heavy it is, it's impossible for you guys to carry it yourself, and he can't say the second half of the complaint.

When he had finished it, he tapped his fingers on the thick barrel of the gun, and listened to it come out in a dull voice that satisfied him, and said:

"Listen, this voice is a good thing when you hear it! The fire guns made in the general shop, how can there be such exquisite materials as ours, and the steel used is good, our fire guns are well-made, and they will be sharp when they are hit!

The gun they built by other families is at most fifty steps to break the armor, but this one, we have to fight at least eighty steps, and it is possible to take more than 100 steps, no matter how you use it, you are not afraid of it exploding! This gun, the masters in the shop have been fighting for more than half a month, and the best iron from Yezhou in the north alone has been used for a full hundred and ten catties! ”

The blacksmith said that Yezhou, is the northern part of Tianzhu Continent near the Himalayas, Kashmir in later generations, is also the birthplace of the good steel for the Damascus scimitar in history - iron, is one of the best iron ore sources in Asia, but now it is the territory of the Song people.

As he spoke, the blacksmith had conjured out of his hand a wooden stick, the end of which was divided into a fork, which was also generally heavy, and one was stuck in the ground, with the forked end facing upward, and he put the fire gun on the fork and aimed and fired. Then he turned around and gestured to Li Zhe. See, that's the way to use it! No matter how heavy you are, you are not afraid.

Li Zhe was dumbfounded, it turned out that this thing was used like this. Well, it's a shame, it's not like that at all! He still thinks that he can pretend to be in front of the ancients with the experience that he saw in later movies and TV series? Who knew that he was fooled by those movies.

I also know that those in the movie are props, and the muskets of this age cannot be used in the same way as the assault rifles of later generations.

Li Zhe took the gun again, followed the blacksmith's example, clamped the gun on the wooden fork and tried it again, before putting the gun down again, and then according to the blacksmith's instructions, he poured the propellant from the muzzle of the gun, stuffed the projectile, and then put the gun on the gun carriage again, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

The fire rope on the arquebus clip ignited the primer, and the primer ignited the propellant in the barrel, and it swelled! A large cloud of white smoke came out of the fire gate, choking Li Zhe's eyes that could not be prepared, and he could barely open them.

Look at the smoke of gunpowder again, and then look at the target position ten meters away where the musket is aiming, boom! Where is the shadow of the hit? Li Zhe had clearly aimed at a good target before, but after the projectile was shot, he didn't know where it flew for a long time.

This is the accuracy of a real smoothbore arquebus, and even at such a close distance, the hit rate is pitifully low. Without the advent of rifled barrels, the musket would probably never have been a truly decisive weapon.

Now, Li Zhe is going to take this level of musket and go to war with people?
