Chapter 131: Target Shooting

Wang Huan thoughtfully, took over the bird, looked at the wall, and asked Zubian: "Then according to you, how is the color of this bird?" ”

Zu Bian said: "Your Excellency, you see, this bird is engraved with Yin inscriptions, engraved with the year of manufacture and the name of the craftsman, as well as the name of the superintendent, indicating that there was no cutting corners when building, otherwise the craftsman would not dare to engrave his name." Look at the appearance again, although this system is old, it is not damaged, the wall is very thick, the inner chamber is smooth, and in the fight with us, Niu Sicheng's bird commander put so many guns, and there are few explosive chambers, it is enough to see that this batch of bird commanders is very reliable, and the shoddy appearance of the war bureau is much stronger, so the last general is sure that this is a better bird system, as long as it is used properly, it can be used for a long time. ”

Wang Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, turned the bird over and played with it, and asked, "Have you used it before?" ”

Zu Bian straightened his chest and said proudly: "My lord, it's not that Zu Bian boasted, he was ...... in the Liaodong Army back then."

Wang Huan interrupted him, threw the bird to him, and shouted, "Okay! Walking, it's a mule or a horse, let's go outside for a walk. ”

Zu Bian's face remained unchanged, and he was not afraid at all: "Okay, please take a look at the general's marksmanship." ”

The three of them walked out of the flower hall and came to the martial arts arena in the official office, on the side of the square, there were more than ten haystacks erected against the wall, which were originally targets for archery, and they were used to test the gun at this time, which could not be more suitable.

Several people stepped forward, and Wang Huan beckoned a handyman to bring a set of fire pot skins, the black powder in the fire cup, the gunpowder in one skin, and the round lead bullet in the other skin, all of which were trophies captured from the official army.

Zubian walked fifty paces from the haystack before he stopped, and began to fill the chamber with black powder.

While loading, he embarrassedly explained as if talking to himself: "Hehe, I haven't hit the bird for a long time, my hand is raw, I'm afraid I won't hit the target if I stand far away, stand close and stand closer, hehehe." ”

Wang Huan listened to his muttering, and didn't understand what it meant at first, but after thinking about it, he realized that he was afraid that the lead bullet that he shot out would not even hit such a big haystack and lose face in front of Wang Huan, so he made a foreshadowing first, and couldn't help but smile and said: "What are you talking about, just hit it, and no one blames you if you can't hit." ”

Zubian laughed a few times, his hand sped up a little, his movements were quick, and he loaded the gunpowder lead bullet in a few clicks, pressed it a few times with the whole strip, and then filled the fire door, clamped the fire rope, and lit the fire rope with the fire fold prepared by the miscellaneous servants.

His expression became serious, there was no trace of a smile on his face, his hands were raised flat, he held the bird system steadily, his right hand held the handle, his left hand held the front of the body, squinted one eye, and looked at the door with open eyes, his eyes were in a straight line with the door and the front sight, he was calm, held his breath, and slowly pulled the trigger with his fingers.

Wang Huan, who was standing on the side, carefully watched every movement of Zu Bian, silently calculating the time it took for him to fill in this suit, starting from Zu Bian scooping medicine from the fire pot with a small bamboo pipe, to when he completed a series of actions to pick up the bird and prepare to shoot, it took almost half a minute in total.

"This is still the time spent in a safe, undisturbed environment, facing a haystack that does not move, and if it is on the battlefield, when the cavalry on the opposite side is surging, the horse's hooves are shaking the sky, and the bird commander is facing great psychological pressure, the time spent may be multiplied." Wang Huan said in his heart, and he had a clear understanding of the time required to prepare for the bird shooting.

"Bang!"

Zu Bian pulled the trigger, and the bird's beak clamp holding the fire rope smashed into the fire door on the bird system, a spark splashed up, bursting in all directions, Zu Bian had already taken precautions, his eyes were far away, and his face quickly leaned back while pulling the trigger, and he dodged away.

The birds shook in unison, a puff of green smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun, a flash of fire, and a lead bullet came out at a degree that was not clear to the naked eye.

The ancestor's hand was very steady, the bird system did not shake much, and the recoil of the black powder and small projectiles was almost negligible compared to the rifles of later generations.

Fifty paces away, there was a clear explosion of ash in the haystack, which was a bundle of straw tied to a thick wooden stick, on which a circle was painted with red paint, and a lead bullet was shot in, right in the red heart.

I don't know if it's luck, but the projectile not only hit the red heart, but also hit the thick wooden stick buried in the grass in the middle of the haystack, and the haystack shook, and it was actually interrupted, and the upper half of the haystack slowly fell to the ground.

The three of them were stunned, and at the same time they all forgot to speak, and their mouths opened wide without making a sound.

Ma Xintian and Wang Huan were surprised, first, they were surprised that the strong man on the ancestral side looked at the five big and three thick reckless people, and he was so accurate in using the bird system; The second is to be surprised that the bird system is so sharp, and it is a miracle that a smoothbore gun without rifling can break a two-centimeter-thick wooden stick at such a distance.

Zu Bian was ecstatic, it was really a blind cat that hit a dead mouse, and with a casual shot, he was able to break a wooden stick fifty steps away, or in front of Lord Wang, it was just a burst of luck.

The strong man grinned for a while, then immediately burst out laughing and shouted, "My lord, my lord, have you seen it?" That's what I played, hahaha, I think back then, I was the number one marksman in Liaodong......"

He turned around and wanted to ask Wang Huan for credit while shouting, but saw Wang Huan and Ma Xintian running past like rabbits, running to the haystack without looking back.

"That ......" Zu Bian was so excited that he couldn't find anyone to share with him, and he was very depressed, but he thought that Wang Huan was in a hurry to confirm the target, so he hurriedly carried the bird to follow.

Wang Huan came to the haystack, picked up half of the haystack on the ground, tore open a few handfuls of straw tied to it, carefully looked at the section of the wooden stick, and then looked for the fence wall a foot behind the haystack, and finally bent down and searched for a long time on the ground, and picked up a lead from the ground.

The stick was broken in the middle by a lead bullet, and the projectile flew through the stick and hit the courtyard wall, creating a shallow crater.

Wang Huan looked back at the position where Zubian had just shot, and then looked at the white crater on the courtyard wall, and frowned.

"Ma Xintian, go get a set of rattan armor and a set of iron armor, and the iron armor will use that set of mountain armor, remember that there is also a fire cloth." Wang Huan commanded.

Ma Xintian agreed and walked away.

Wang Huan twisted the deformed projectile in his hand, looked at the crater formed by the lead bullet fixedly, and said to himself: "To this extent, I don't know if I can shoot through the iron armor?" ”

The sharpshooter Zu who was standing on the side was very embarrassed, his wonderful performance seemed to be ignored, and the rare and brilliant shooting seemed to be less important than the lead bullet in the eyes of Lord Wang, he didn't understand it, and stood beside Wang Huan in a daze.

Wang Huan stared at the wall and the haystack and pondered for a long time, until Ma Xintian came back with two handymen with armor in their hands, he raised his head and said to Zu Bian as if he suddenly remembered: "Okay, good fight." ”

The belated praise was a bit disappointing, but it was better than nothing, Zu Bian was about to be happy, but he heard Wang Huan say: "Come, come and fight again." ”

Zu Bian held the bird in his hand tightly, and said with a smile: "You can fight a few times, and the last general is just looking for the feeling of the year." ”

Wang Huan shouted to Ma Xintian: "Come, put the armor on the haystack, and let's see if the bird can beat the target of the armor." ”
