92 Introduction of muskets

"Poof." The machete slashed hard at the neck of a Hu soldier, and the head flew down in the direction of the machete. "Poof, poof". Several hacks in a row. All the soldiers who came forward were cut down. The surrounding soldiers were shocked at once. Usually, when attacking China in the south, nothing like this happened. Especially just playing with a few women during the attack, it's nothing.

"In the future, remember to me that before doing things, you must take the overall picture. Whoever does not listen to the command of the king Khan. Kill! So saying, the commander of the thousand took the head and left. The soldiers didn't know what it meant.

However, after the commander left, some people suddenly realized that Wang Khan seemed to mean that in the process of attacking, there should be no trace as much as possible. That's what it means. All alive, kill! And not much time is given. It must be done as soon as possible.

Hu Ren, who understood the above meaning, began to kill. All the men, women and children in the village were killed. In order to prevent the surrounding villages from discovering anomalies at dawn. Therefore, even those chickens and dogs did not let go and killed them directly, for the village, the original purpose was to take the opportunity to get some food. The population was all killed. Even babies, these people didn't let go.

"Stupid." A Hu centurion kicked the Hu soldier to the ground who was about to set fire to the house. "No fires." The Huren centurion looked fiercely at the fallen soldier. Seeing that the situation was not good, a few soldiers next to him hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them. If you are one step late, you will most likely be killed.

In this way, a small peaceful village, all the people were killed without a sound. After killing all the people, the Hu people quickly assembled and began to leave. It's just a small force. The village behind him became unusually quiet.

Shang Wen looked at the drawings, suddenly realized what was wrong, and hurriedly looked for other drawings to check. When Shang Wen turned around to look for it, he suddenly found King Qin sitting quietly on the side with his eyes closed. I was shocked all at once. Quickly fell to his knees. "Your Majesty." Shang Wencheng said with trepidation.

When King Qin heard the sound, he opened his eyes and saw Shang Wen kneeling on the ground, and immediately stepped forward to help him up. "Sir, sir, get up." Shang Wen was helped up by King Qin.

"The widow came here to apologize to Mr. Qin for the day's events." King Qin said calmly.

"Your Majesty." Shang Wen was about to say that he didn't understand what King Qin meant.

King Qin had already waved his hand and signaled not to continue.

"If the widow is wrong, he is wrong." King Qin said decisively.

As he spoke, King Qin solemnly stood in front of Shang Wen, saluted with both hands, and bowed heavily. Shang Wen was a little panicked, and he didn't know what King Qin meant.

"Mr. Qin, King Qin has apologized." Shang Wen didn't say anything, Zhao Gao saw this, and said a little unsightly.

"Your Majesty, this ・・・・・・" Before Shang Wen could finish speaking, King Qin, who had finished his salute, grabbed Shang Wen's hand and said.

"It's already the third watch day when there are few people to deal with some things. And Mr. Qin is still working hard and doing his best for my Great Qin to forge sharp weapons. King Qin said with emotion.

"I don't know how much energy it takes to complete these things, how can a widow be at ease." King Qin continued.

"Your Majesty, this, this is nothing." Shang Wen said with some persuasion. In fact, Shang Wen is just plagiarizing, these things, as long as you understand the structural principle, and draw them in detail on the diagram. What is done is just some trivial work.

"Your Majesty, this is a musket drawn by a courtier. Please look at it. Shang Wen said as he picked up a drawn drawing of a smoothbore gun and presented it to King Qin.

King Qin listened to the musket. This word, which I had never heard before, hurriedly took the drawings and looked at them.

"Your Majesty, please see, this musket uses gunpowder to burn, the gas expands in a short time, and in a small and confined space, it generates a lot of pressure, which can quickly shoot the projectile out, thereby killing and injuring the enemy." Shang Wen said with a gesture of his finger.

"Oh." King Qin carefully looked at the schematic diagram of the musket.

"This kind of musket is so powerful that if it is hit, it will not be killed or injured, and even if it can survive by chance, then it will leave a lifelong disability. Those who are hit, if they do not get timely help on the battlefield, will also die due to excessive blood loss. Shang Wen continued.

King Qin nodded and continued.

"The power of this musket is not limited to this, its power lies in its great penetrating ability, and the armor that is now commonly equipped is leather armor, and soldiers need to wield a lot of force to slash and slash it. However, this musket can easily penetrate this leather armor, and not only that, but even soldiers armed with iron and bronze armor can shoot it. Shang Wen said with his hands gesturing.

"Oh. So powerful. King Qin said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, not only that, but this musket, with a little training, can be passed on in large quantities. The physical fitness, experience requirements for soldiers are not very high. It's easy to assemble a powerful army. Shang Wen said.

"Easy?" King Qin then asked.

"Yes, it's easy." Shang Wen said.

"The soldier is trained to memorize a few loading steps, and then, raise the gun, aim, shoot. Then, reload, aim, and shoot. Shang Wen said and made a gesture of raising his gun to aim.

"Isn't this my Great Qin's bow and crossbow?" King Qin said when he saw Shang Wen's gesture.

"Basically, but the strength of the bow and crossbow slowly decreases over time as the shooting begins, and it is impossible to shoot for a long time. Moreover, in comparison, the power is far inferior to that of a musket. Shang Wen said.

"The power of the musket lies in the huge penetrating capacity, and, in terms of physical fitness, the requirements are not very high. In addition, it is necessary to load the bullets, gunpowder, etc. used. The weight is very small. Basically, with sixty rounds of ammunition, the soldier can still run and jump quickly. Be flexible. Shang Wen said.

"Well, then the gentleman will make a few pieces for my Daqin, and see how powerful this musket is?" King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, this musket is very powerful, but it still has shortcomings." Shang Wen truthfully stated the flaws of the musket.

"For example, it is more cumbersome to reload and has great power, but the range is extremely limited, and at a distance of fifty paces, the killing effect of the bullet begins to weaken significantly. In addition, gunpowder is easy to get damp, and the requirements for weather are relatively high. Do not use in rain or wet. Shangwen explains these shortcomings.
