Hua Dang and the three of them were very surprised, and at the same time, they were a little unsure of what medicine Zhang Zhijie was selling. Zhang Zhijie didn't seem to notice this, and led them towards the school with a smile.

The more Zhang Zhijie smiled, the more preoccupied the three of them were. When he arrived at the school ground, Zhang Zhijie recruited a team of musketeers very neatly.

The attention of the three of them was immediately attracted by the muskets behind the musketeers, and they looked at the muskets behind them fixedly. Although the musket looked a little weird, all the firearms were a little strange in their eyes, so they couldn't see any difference.

The most important thing is that they did not find that this new musket had a sharp edge, and it is rumored that this new type of firearm did not have a sharp tip at the end. That's why they are not afraid of close combat, could it be that the Governor used other firearms to fool them?

There's no need, can't you just don't take them to see it? Why fool them? Just when they were puzzled, Zhang Zhijie had already taken over a loaded flintlock pistol, and said with a smile: "This is a new type of firearm flintlock pistol, this kind of musket shoots far and powerful, loads quickly, and does not need to ignite, even in rainy days can be used!" ”

After that, Zhang Zhijie picked up the musket and directly pulled the trigger, and after a gunshot, a hole was blasted out of the musket on the huge target a hundred paces away.

Hua Dang and the three of them were all stunned when they saw this, this kind of distance was definitely not something that ordinary archers could do! Although there are also marksmen on the prairie who can do it, but only a very few! But this musket can be applied to all Ming people!

And the power of this flintlock pistol is not comparable to that of a bow and arrow! In fact, if you are hit by an arrow on the battlefield, you may survive, but if you are hit by a musket, it is basically a dead word!

Zhang Zhijie was very satisfied with his gun, and he was also very familiar with the flintlock pistol, after all, this was already a musket, and that man didn't have a musket dream in his heart? So he often tried guns, and his level was not bad.

But a hundred steps away, in fact, the accuracy of the flintlock pistol is not very good, and now the flintlock pistol is used on the battlefield mainly by dense victory! But I didn't expect that the shot would be hit today, which made Zhang Zhijie nod with great satisfaction.

Although Hua Dang was shocked, he quickly sobered up from the shock, and complimented him with a smile: "The Governor's marksmanship is like a god, and he wears Yang in a hundred steps, which is admirable!" ”

Zhang Zhijie didn't explain anything, but took the bayonet with a smile, pulled the bayonet out of its scabbard and put it in the card slot. Zhang Zhijie raised the bayonet and stabbed outward, making a posture of a bayonet to resist the horse.

After all, on the battlefield in person, the blade of the Tartar, Zhang Zhijie's stab is really tigery, Zhang Zhijie put away the gun and smiled: "This thing is called a bayonet, as long as it is installed on the card slot, the flintlock pistol will become a spear!" ”

The bayonet flashed with cold light, making Hua Dang and the others feel cold, it turned out that this was the so-called tip of the knife, and it turned out that this was the secret of the new musket not afraid of close combat. The long and narrow bayonet was more like a call of death in the eyes of Hua Dang and the others.

It is because of the bayonet that the army of the Ming Dynasty gave up the pikemen, making the long-range shooting power of the military formation more superior, and the melee combat is far better than before!

Hua Dang said with a bit of genuine emotion: "It turned out to be a bayonet on the head of the gun, which can shoot from a distance and fight in close combat, but it is just a long and narrow blade, but it completely changes the form of war, this idea is really real!" ”

Ande and Dehuochi also sighed: "You can shoot from afar, you can repel horses from close, no wonder the Tatar cavalry will be defeated and return, this flintlock pistol equipped with bayonets is really the perfect magic weapon!" ”

Although they heard a lot, but now that they have really seen Daming's new musket, they find that this new type of firearm is even stronger than they imagined before.

Although they were very emotional, but there was no fear in their hearts, Zhang Zhijie handed the flintlock pistol to the musketeer beside him, and said with a smile: "Perfect? Far from it! When the bayonet will no longer be useful, it is not too late to say the word perfect! ”

Hua Dang, Ande, and Dehuo Chi couldn't help but be a little puzzled when they heard this, in their opinion, the assembly of bayonets on muskets was really a great innovation, which changed the configuration of the arms of the war in one fell swoop, but now Zhang Zhijie said that bayonets were useless?

Not only did they think so, but even Wang Chong and them were very puzzled, and Wang Chong asked suspiciously: "My lord, what do you mean by this?" Why would bayonets not come in handy? ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Cold weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows have been developed for thousands of years, and they are basically like that, but firearms are very different, and firearms will continue to develop!" Nowadays, firearms are getting more and more powerful, and they are becoming easier to load. ”

"So, sooner or later, one day it will develop to the point where the cavalry will not be able to rush forward at all, and then what is the use of bayonets?"

Everyone's faces changed, Hua Dang, Anchu and Dehuo's faces were slightly pale, but the faces of Wang Chong and the others were yearning. Wang Chong was a little incredulous and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, is there really such a day?" ”

Zhang Zhijie listened categorically: "Yes! There will come a time! Then he laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "However, Ben Du does not know if it is possible to wait until that day!" ”

Hua Dang, An De and Dehuo Chi heard the urge to vomit blood here, and felt that this Governor was opening his mouth! I was almost scared to pee, people are scary but they are scared to death.

Hua Dang and the others were relieved in their hearts, and complimented with a smile: "What the Governor said is that when the time comes, there will be no longer fear of the Tatar cavalry!" ”

Zhang Zhijie looked at the three of them who were a little relieved, and felt a little funny, was it just a Tatar cavalry? And your cavalry!

Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Tatar cavalry? The Firearms Bureau only made more than 20,000 flintlock pistols, and the Governor was able to defeat the Tatar cavalry, and the Firearms Bureau is still stepping up the production of flintlock pistols, and the Tatars will not be able to jump for long! ”

"This month, the Firearms Bureau will escort 5,000 flintlock guns to Xuanfu, and Xuanfu will have 5,000 more musket soldiers! However, it is a pity that it will take several years to assemble all the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the border towns with flintlock pistols! ”

Although Zhang Zhijie said these with a smile, there was no doubt that there was a thunderclap in his ears when he heard Huadang, An'an, and Dehuo's red ears. Although they all felt that the combat power of the more than 20,000 musketeers in Xuanfu was very terrifying, they forgot one thing, Da Ming could make a steady stream of flintlock pistols!

The flintlock pistol is so powerful, how could the Ming Dynasty only make more than 20,000 muskets? Now the flintlock pistol has played a major role in the two major wars of Xuanfu, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely continue to make flintlock pistols!

Xuanfu only fought with more than 20,000 flintlock pistols and the 40,000 Tatar cavalry fled, if all the soldiers of Xuanfu were equipped with flintlock pistols, it would be unimaginable!
