"Bandak, let's talk about what you're good at, I think people like you can train in all the projects you're good at."

Shu Zifeng sat at the wooden table, put one hand on it, and said to Bandak, who was standing in a leather robe, with a casual expression.

"My lord, I am good at the use of crossbows, firearms and accurate shooting, but I think muskets are more useful than crossbows, because it is really frustrating to see enemies in heavy armor covered in arrows and still roaring and attacking, and muskets only need to make a bang, no matter how heavily armored the enemy is, they will completely lose their combat effectiveness, I think firearms are simply a gift from God to civilian warriors, because muskets give an ordinary civilian the ability to kill knights!

Firearms are a God-given invention that pushes human society towards equality and freedom for all, and wars are no longer won by relying on elites, but by numbers, just like the Mongols swept the continent with a few elites, which can never happen again after the popularization of firearms!

Firearms are changing the history of mankind, and as long as you pay attention to the equipment and expansion of firearms, we will surely be at the forefront of other forces and rise to become the real hegemon in the world. ”

As soon as Bendak spoke, his eyes were full of admiration for firearms, as if it were an undesirable path not to use them to arm the army......

"Oh? You have a lot of research on the history of this world, and the musket is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately the range and accuracy of the arquebus are too poor, and I don't think you can guarantee a 100% hit rate with your arquebus. ”

"My lord, war has never relied on accurate shooting and individual contests to determine victory or defeat, we don't need firearms to have the accuracy of a bow and crossbow, we just need to keep the musket in the direction of the need to fire in a piece.

I can guarantee that within 100 meters, the arquebus will be invincible, creating a terrified death zone for the enemy, and no matter whether the opponent is wearing ordinary linen clothes or full body armor, he will not be able to pass through the death blockade made by the musket safely.

As far as I know, the knight's full-body armor purchased by any wealthy knight is enough to defend the bow and crossbow from a distance of dozens of meters, even if it is the famous English longbow and Mongolian compound bow, it is difficult to break the defense in the face of the full-body plate armor made of real steel plate sandwich, which may be the reason why most of today's battles rely on melee combat. ”

Bandak's every word is not forgotten to sell his 'winning theory of firearms'......

Shu Zifeng was not in the mood to discuss the power of firearms with Bandak, what firearms looked like, and he knew much more about them in his previous history than Bandak.

"Bandak, if you believe in firearms so much, will you build flintlock pistols and cannons?"

Bandak was stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "Flintlock pistol?" Is that also a musket? I'm sorry, my lord, but I haven't heard of the flintlock musket, which means short for arquebus.

However, I know a little bit about the manufacture of artillery, the artillery is actually an enlarged version of the arquebus, by increasing the thickening of the 'barrel' into a cannon barrel, to increase the number of black powder charged, as the driving force of the number of black powder accumulated, naturally can burst out a more powerful driving force, pushing larger projectiles to fight farther.

Moreover, I also know of a large-caliber musket that is somewhere between a cannon and an arquebus, and we can increase the caliber and length of the arquebus to a certain percentage to increase the range and power, so that we can fill the arquebus with some small marbles or gravel to create a fan-shaped covering area like a shotgun fired.

The biggest advantage of this large-caliber arquebus over artillery is that it is lightweight, only two people need to carry it, three people can complete the calibration and firing, and even two skilled gunners can complete the loading and firing steps on the battlefield.

However, this large-caliber arquebus is much larger than ordinary arquebus, and the loading is much slower than that of the arquebus, but it is much faster than the artillery.

Due to the low hit rate of the arquebus, this weapon is generally used as a close-range coverage weapon, and this large-caliber arquebus needs to be carried by two people, so I named it 'Carry the Gun'.

With a gun, we don't have to be limited by artillery that is difficult to move, and when we encounter an enemy rushing up, we can temporarily transfer a few teams of gun-carrying soldiers to make the enemy's hand-to-hand soldiers suffer heavy losses! ”

As soon as he talked about the knowledge of firearms that he was familiar with, Bandak suddenly turned into a state of 'talking'......

However, Bandak's suggestion sounded very practical, Shu Zifeng only had arquebuses, flintlock pistols, rifled guns and other famous firearms in his mind before, and he really didn't care about raising guns that were not well evaluated by history.

In the era of queuing to shoot, the oversized lifting of the gun may have fallen behind, but in this era of hot and cold weapons, the power of the lifting gun is enough to make it a practical weapon!

"Well, I'll order that the Carrying Gun be included as a priority weapon, and when the time comes, you'll have to explain to the firearms builders how to improve the Carrying Gun, and if the battlefield effect is really what you say, I won't be stingy with the reward.

Now let's talk about how fast you can train musketeers. ”

"Thank you, sir, it is my pleasure to serve you.

The speed of the musketeer's training depends on how far the adult asks him to go, if it is only required to ask the musketeer to learn to shoot and load the arquebus ammunition skillfully, it only takes a week, but if it is a training queue, the time is long, and the time required for the standard level of training in the queue is also very different. ”

"I'm short on time, just make sure the soldiers line up and shoot together."

After hearing this, Bandak replied with a smile in his eyes: "My lord, the longest part of soldier training is that the front and back are well-founded and organized, if you just ask to stand in one or two rows to shoot a volley, it will be simple, it only takes about two weeks, I can let the musketeers under my command learn to shoot and fire together with a stationary formation."

However, it is better for such a musket team to be grouped into separate groups, because if the formation needs to change after firing, it is likely to cause great confusion and affect the formation of other allies. ”

"Well, this level is fine, you go down first and cooperate with the firearms craftsman to build weapons, and I will send someone to train you in a few days."
