This huge defect is caused precisely by rifling. Why? Because the main function of this rifling is to force the bullet to do a rotational motion, what is this concept?

That's friction. So it's just that a soft mini bullet that is slightly smaller than a bullet will jam more easily when reloading than a spherical projectile of a smoothbore gun. Therefore, it is necessary to attach a rod to the body of the gun to completely push the bullet down. It is this practice that requires an additional process.

Old-fashioned muskets are easy to reload. This is certainly welcome. Think of the United States in the Civil War. Behind the lewd gentlemen who lay down were a person lying on their stomachs, specially reloading them. And that's it. None of them are very efficient at reloading.

Because of this. Li Hang will consider another matter. That's the problem of reloading at this time.

It was clear that the Minnie shotgun with one more process was disliked. After all, in the eyes of many people, one more shot is one more round of output. And the Mini shotgun didn't get to the rear gun, which was completely 100% pointed. It's just that this improvement is indeed much better than the average. Eighty percent accuracy is guaranteed. If this kind of short-answer iron bar loader can be changed. Maybe even better.

Plus, I'm pretty much able to make steel now. Maybe you can also try the bullet with one ammo. At least not anymore, gunpowder bullets are loaded together.

Looking at Zhao Feilong who came over, Li Hang directly picked up two guns. "How about a new weapon that has a special person to reload?"

Zhao Feilong shook his head. "It can't be. There are few new soldiers, and what I can do is the limit of how many cavalry and one thousand foot I can muster. These five hundred musketeers can only go here. I really don't dare to use anyone else. I am not worried about those who have no training, who do not understand the principles of military warfare, and who have not done psychological counseling, but I am afraid that they will run away with muskets when they want to leave. ”

Well, that's exactly what happened.

Then the biggest problem is the frequency of shooting. At this time, the musket can only be fired once after a few seconds of shooting.

After asking this question, Zhao Feilong stretched out his slap.

I'll go! Five seconds?

What is the concept of five seconds? In five seconds, the hoplites could advance more than thirty meters. The light infantry was afraid that it would not be necessary to advance more than fifty meters. If it's cavalry. A hundred meters away

This Nima is a pit. In an era when the range of such muskets was only about three hundred meters. Five seconds of reloading is really tough. "How long is an old-fashioned musket?"

"Three seconds!"

All right. It's really incomparable, and this kind of filling is really a bit of a pit. But in exchange for an increase in accuracy.

Perhaps the future of firearms development will move from precision shooting to firepower, but not now.

"I'd like to find a way to improve this reloading bar."

This is already the biggest thing I can do. Because if you want to overhaul yourself, it's almost impossible. You can only start with that reload sticker.

Such a small change would be enough to ensure that every bullet is chrysanthemum-oriented.

It would be nice to be able to make some improvements on the bullets. After all, rear-loading ammunition is much more convenient than front-loading.

"Aren't you afraid?" Looking for Feilong, he looked at Li Hang very strangely.

In the past, 2,000 men would have fought 5,000 men, which was almost hopeless.

It's the same even if you're well-equipped.

Because it's almost double the gap of people. At this time, if they really pressed it, it would easily lead to the collapse of the morale of the soldiers.

That's a huge gap.

"I'm confident in my stuff. One shot can kill a tenth of their warriors. When the time comes, they will make an appointment in a way that is suitable for them to start the war. In this way, the formation can be deployed as much as possible in advance. Won't be raided by the other side. Or was they ambushed. "This musket, of course, will not be without drawbacks. After all, it's just a new piece of equipment, and although it looks very powerful, this weapon can only be frontal for the time being. And sufficient distance is required. It is also necessary to have a good enough firing position.

This kind of requirement is destined to require a strong reconnaissance force. Li Hang was not very worried about this. Reconnaissance on the telescope. This kind of stuff is the best thing to use.

Li Hang also thought about this problem. How to defeat each other. Then the only way is to provoke the other person with words.

A pure cavalry unit of five thousand people. What is this concept?

Let's put it this way. Most of the Turkic cavalry had more than one man and more than one horse, which was used to rest in rotation.

In other words, these 5,000 people will have almost 10,000 horses or even more, and I am afraid that there will not be 13,000.

It is impossible for them to stay here for a long time. Otherwise, one consumption per day will make them unbearable.

They can only be quick fixes. Otherwise, they will return in vain.

Even if they could sweep around, it wouldn't work. Once Li Hang was given time. Eleven thousand muskets can be made slowly. Just assemble a musket team of more than 10,000 people. Especially with rifling, you can be afraid of any current troops. It's a big deal to equip them with a small shield and a set of armor to protect their bodies. This infantry group can advance slowly as long as it can be carried out. You can crush any of the forces to death. This is the technology bonus that technology brings.

Count the high lethality of these musket artillery. On the premise that there are enough people and accurate enough shooting. This formation is almost incomprehensible.

Each person is equipped with a small shield. Wear thick armor that can withstand arrows, and you're almost invincible.

"As long as this battle can ensure the continuous firing of this musket. I'm sure I'll win. Li Hang said with an oath.

What are you kidding, under the crushing of technology. Not to mention winning, it is not difficult to annihilate them all.

A team of 500 muskets can knock out more than 200 people in a direct round. Counting the artillery produced on their own side. It's okay to kill more than 300 people in one round of cavalry shooting.

They can shoot two rounds in a salvo before they come over. Knock out a tenth of its troops. What is this concept? Every second, a group of people fall around you. Don't say anything brave.

Aren't modern armies brave? How many light divisions.

But it is in the brave modern army. A loss of 30 percent is considered a loss of offensive ability. Fifty percent of the losses will have to be reorganized and repaired.

A salvo of five percent of this. How many five percent can they have?

This is still a modern army. The ancient army was even more unbearable.

This is the source of Li Hang's self-confidence.

When confronted with musket artillery that dies at the touch of a touch. These Turks will be even more unbearable.

What Li Hang didn't know. Just before he made that decision. There are many people who are paying attention to the big battle on this side. Why? Because they have to watch the outcome of a confrontation between the new army and this side. Once the new army really had an overwhelming result. Then they're still spanking, if it's not overwhelming. The two princes seem to have mixed up, especially the results of the war in the north. It can affect the whole situation.
