Seeing Wu Song turn back, Wu Kai greeted him and teased with a smile: "Erlang, why did you come back so soon, is it because you are not satisfied with the appearance and figure of Mrs. Hua?" ”

"What nonsense is my brother talking about!"

Wu Song turned his face blank and refuted unhappily: "I'm here to save people, how can I have those messy thoughts of yours!" ”

"Huh?"

Wu Kai pretended to be surprised, and his eyes widened, "I haven't said it yet, how do you know it's a mess of ideas?" You don't think that way - don't explain, explanation is a cover-up, a cover-up is a real thing! ”

"I ...... You ......"

Wu Song's face turned red, if the person in front of him was not in his brother's body, he would have to pick up the old fist. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Alright, alright, it's still important to get in the car!"

However, Wu Kai didn't dare to continue to stimulate him, so he took it when he was busy, let Wu Song get into the car, and went straight out of the city.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Wu Kai has gone out of the city, but unfortunately there is a white expanse everywhere, and he can't tell which is the field and which is the road.

Seeing that the carriage was moving more and more slowly in the snow, he simply ordered it to stop, and found an open space near the city gate, then erected several targets from far and near, loaded all three large lifting poles with ammunition, and finally called the two officials to the front and gave them a careful advice.

When they understood, Wu Kai turned around and came to Erlang's side again, and whispered: "Erlang, you must be careful for a while, if these two people dare to take the opportunity to mess around, they will take care of it directly!" ”

Wu Song was still upset about what happened just now, so he didn't speak, just muttered and stood silently behind the two officials.

"Don't get so close!"

Wu Kai pulled him back and retreated a distance, and then ordered: "Okay, you two can start!" ”

Those two officials are not stupid, seeing that everyone is hiding far away, they know that this job must be dangerous, but how dare they resist Wu Kai and Erlang?

I had to pick up a gun with fear, and according to Wu Kai's instructions, one person was holding the body of the gun, and the other was carrying the barrel of the gun on his shoulder in front, aiming the muzzle of the gun at the target fifty meters away, and carefully lit the fire rope.

Laugh at...... Rumble~!

A moment later, a bang was heard, and the two officials rolled into a ball screaming, and the shouting was hoarse!

At first, Wu Kai thought it was really blown up, but found that the wooden target marked 'eighty meters' broke in response to the sound - since the iron sand had been punched out, how did the two of them get injured?

Wu Kai stepped forward to take a closer look, but saw that the big pole was lying on the ground in good shape, and the two officials were snowy except for the snow, so there was a sign of injury?

Feeling that their crying father and shouting mother's screams were frightened by the sound of gunshots!

Wu Kai was so angry in his heart, he went up and rewarded two feet, and scolded: "You two waste! If you dare to surprise Lao Tzu again, believe it or not, I killed you alive?! ”

The two of them hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Wu Kai picked up the big lifting rod, carefully inspected it up and down, and found that there was no sign of damage, so he reloaded the ammunition and ordered: "Come again!" Aim a little at Lao Tzu this time! ”

The two officials had the first experience, and they behaved much better, and although they inevitably panicked after the shooting, they did not throw their guns on the ground.

After testing the three guns one by one, the basic data is as follows:

The firing range of the longest shot can reach about 250 meters, the shortest is more than 200 meters, and the effective killing range is between 130 meters and 170 meters.

The power, taking the 2.5-meter-5 pole as an example, can easily penetrate a half-inch thick plank within 60 meters, and when shooting at a target 100 meters away, it will form a killing fan of about 25 meters.

Pity......

The biggest problem with this thing is that the shooting accuracy is too poor, and if it doesn't have a wide coverage, it's a fool's dream to hit the target.

Maybe a gun mount would be a little better.

Of course, this was basically a common problem with smoothbore guns, and even in the eighteenth century, muskets were still quite happy with the accuracy of a hundred meters away - to ensure accuracy, at least rifled guns had to be made.

This is also the reason why Wu Kai chose a large lifting rod, the accuracy is not enough, and the range is to make up.

In addition to the accuracy problem, every time the big lifting rod is launched, it needs to consume half a catty of gunpowder and a catty of iron sand, and in the absence of a stable supply of raw materials, the cost is also high and terrible.

However, even with all the shortcomings, it can still be called a divine weapon in the Northern Song Dynasty, when gunpowder weapons were just budding - this can be seen from Wu Song's mouth, which has not been closed since it was opened.

"Brother!"

Wu Song's face flushed, and he grabbed Wu Kai's arm, but this time it was not because of embarrassment and annoyance, but because of Chi Guoguo's excitement and excitement: "This thing, this thing, is it also for me to train the army?!" ”

"Of course, it's nothing, and there will be better things in the future!"

After receiving Wu Kai's affirmative reply, Erlang directly did a backflip on the spot, but he fell into a snow pit and fell on his back, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all, got up and laughed: "Brother, don't worry, with these treasures, I will definitely train you to support the world's strong army!" ”

He walked back and forth a few times, and couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, how should I write this conscription list?" Are we going to recruit the broken family, or are we going to choose the children of good families who know the roots? If it really doesn't work, you can just get some more spells or something, and you can trick some ignorant villagers into working hard! ”

Draft list article?

"Who said we're going to be conscripted?" Wu Kai pointed to the few little monks who thought they had seen a miracle and were reciting Buddhist scriptures and said, "Your current team is this group of little monks, a total of ...... Well, it looks like fifteen people. ”

"What?!"

Wu Song didn't do it now, shook his hand angrily, and said: "What about my brother, just a few bald scoops, what kind of training is it?!" ”

Wu Kai was not annoyed, and asked him rhetorically: "Do you think these things can be handed over to people who can't be trusted?" Besides, we are going to go to Liangshan sooner or later, except for these little monks who have nothing to worry about, how many people will go with us? ”

In fact, Wu Kai did not dare to storm the army, and there was another very important reason, that is, the production of gunpowder was insufficient - whether it was a large lifting rod or a detonator, it was a large consumer.

Wu Song was suddenly stuck, and he was half loud, and then he said dejectedly: "That...... Could it be that my subordinates have always been unable to make such a few pieces of material? ”

"Of course not, when we gain a firm foothold in the mountains and find a camp of our own, it's not too late to recruit troops." Saying that, Wu Kai saw that Wu Song was still a little frustrated, so he promised again: "Of course, if you can find a credible person, it is not impossible to recruit into the team - such as that Lin Dengwan, I can consider it." ”

"Hey~ I can only do this first."

Wu Song sighed, quite a bit of a hero's useless loss.

Fortunately, his mood came and went quickly, and it didn't take long for him to pick up a big lifting rod and stuff it to Wu Kai and said: "Brother, don't talk about these things that are not there, you quickly teach me how to use this thing, I will have a good time first!" ”

Wu Kai taught him a few shots, and at the same time analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of this thing.

However, in Wu Song's eyes, those shortcomings were nothing-the bed crossbows and catapults of the imperial court were also very expensive, and they might be more powerful, but they were 108,000 miles different in terms of ease of use.

Moreover, after Wu Kai's redesign and transformation, the loading speed of these large lifting rods has been increased a lot, and without considering the problem of cleaning the chamber, a skilled gunner should be able to do one shot a minute, which is much faster than the rate of fire of bed crossbows and catapults.

As for the range, according to Wu Song's experience, the longest range of bows and arrows used by the general van army and township soldiers is mostly up and down forty steps [about sixty meters], and very few can reach sixty steps [ninety meters], and those that can do the legendary one hundred steps [one hundred and fifty meters] through Yang, in addition to the special weapons made by the generals, it is estimated that only the divine arm bow [actually a crossbow] used by the forbidden army and the border army.

"That's right, brother!"

Erlang suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously, "What is this thing called?" ”

"Big pole lift."

"What a bird name is this?!" Erlang choked his wrists and stomped his feet and complained: "Such a divine weapon, how can you have a resounding name!" Like what kind of god arm bow and Zhuge crossbow, how loud it sounds! ”

"I can't believe you care about this." Wu Kai smiled: "Then you can make a loud one." ”

"Shall I get up?"

Wu Song's eyes lit up, and he turned back and forth a few times excitedly, and suddenly whistled, and said happily: "Yes, let's call it - Shenwei Invincible Thunderbolt Thunder!" How? Doesn't that sound imposing?! ”

That's a really ...... name

Wu Kai was speechless for a while, and said weakly: "Then you might as well call it 'Megatron'." ”

"Megatron?"

Erlang repeated, and said quite respectfully: "My brother is really not a loss to be an immortal, this name is better than I thought, and if this is the case, then I will call it Megatron in the future!" Hahaha......"

Wu Kai: "......"

Although Wu Song's ability to come up with a name is a little worse, his ambition is not just talking, after returning from the test gun, he pestered Wu Kai all day long, discussing the details of how to train soldiers and horses.

Because the snow had not yet receded, he had a courtyard cleared and taught the monks the most basic military discipline, grenade drills, and the parade drills formulated by Wu Kai.

Since then, Erlang has been busy every day, either discussing the regulations of military training with Wu Kai, or supervising the group of little monks - the only thing that can distract him may be the one next door, Mrs. Hua, who will come over to harass him from time to time.

Of course, about this, Jiro will never admit it.
