Chapter 276 Assault Gun Conception

Zhao Yu moved his body and changed to a comfortable sitting position. "It's normal for you to have grievances! If there is no resentment, this king will have to wonder what your heart is made of. ”

Hearing Zhao Yu say this, Shen Qizong couldn't help but confide in his heart. "The prince has always taught that attacking cities and conquering places is superior, and destroying the enemy in the wilderness is superior! At the end of the day, it is true that the generals will fight without authorization, but no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a meritorious achievement, breaking 500 enemies and killing 100 heads, how can it be a merit and demerit! ”

Zhao Yu said: "Then do you know why this king wants you to offset your merits and demerits? ”

Shen Qizong lowered his head and said with some frustration: "The last general knows, because the last general has broken the rules." ”

Zhao Yu noticed that Shen Qizong was talking about rules, not military rules, and the difference between one word could be described as a world of difference.

"For these rules, this king is also very dissatisfied!" Zhao Yu had the feeling that he was not shocking and dying, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Qizong was taken aback.

"Lord Wang...... This...... This ......" Shen Qizong only felt that his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say at the moment, and he was incoherent. Probably Shen Qizong didn't know what he wanted to express at this moment.

Some people may wonder why Ronnie Shen did not immediately agree.

That's right, Shen Qizong did because of these "rules" this time, which led to his credit being almost wiped out. It's just a matter of saying it, this rule has been left behind for decades, and Shen Qizong has also adapted to him a little. If you let him overthrow it completely, that's impossible.

Zhao Yu ignored Shen Qizong's expression at this moment and continued to state the ideal in his heart. "Rotten! Inflexible! In fact, it is difficult to destroy Anhuaman. But it's not too difficult. Do you know firearms? ”

"Oh! But the prince said those weapons that use gunpowder? This will know. But those things are pretty. That is, it is okay to defend the city! Shen Qizong came back to his senses and said with some disapproval.

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "You don't know why, firearms are indeed chicken ribs, expensive, bulky, unsafe, and not very lethal." It's just that you have thought about it, the moment he detonated it, there was a loud 'bang', would those ignorant An Huaman think that the gods sent down thunder and lightning? ”

Shen Qizong's expression was disapproving. Immediately cheered up, and said excitedly: "What the prince said is not wrong! This thing is really very likely, the two armies are fighting, and the focus is on morale! An Huaman was originally a rabble, if there were firearms, it would not be a problem to kill them at all! ”

Speaking of this, Shen Qizong suddenly frowned and said, "Lord Wang, although this is the case, the last general has found a big flaw. Barbarians are mostly active in the mountains and forests. In case this firearm causes a forest fire. At that time, it will depend on luck. If the wind doesn't go the right way, it's all gone! And even if the wind is in the right direction. Causing a forest fire will hurt the heavens and the peace! Those barbarians are all relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they have burned the mountains and forests, which is too hateful! ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "What you said, this king also thought about it, so this king once wanted to implement the assault rifle, do you know this weapon?" ”

Shen Qizong shook his head in confusion and said, "What is this?" Firearm? ”

Zhao Yu estimated that the assault rifle had not yet been invented at this time, so he opened up this problem and directly introduced it to Shen Qizong: "The assault rifle is made of iron pipes, filled with gunpowder and projectiles, and when encountering the enemy, the gunpowder is ignited with the fire rope. When the gunpowder explodes, the projectile will be pushed out, and the middle one will immediately have a wound the size of a bowl. ”

"So powerful!" Ronnie Shen was taken aback.

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, but there are two problems, the first is that the accuracy of the assault gun is not high, and the second is that the filling speed of the assault gun is very slow." It is estimated that fifty or sixty breaths can be relaunched. ”

Shen Qizong frowned and said, "Even so, it can be used, after all, the assault rifle is to intimidate the enemy, and the lethality does not need to be pursued too much." ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "You thought of its use, but you didn't think of the subsequent impact. Father, you have been in the army for many years, you should know how long it takes to make a big yellow crossbow from scratch? ”

Shen Qizong frowned and said, "Three years!" This is the shortest time, after all, the rhubarb crossbow is a strong crossbow, and there is no room for negligence during production! ”

"And what about the Seven Bucket Soft Bow?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Two years! Although it is a soft bow, it is used in the military, and it needs to be manufactured in strict accordance with climate change, and it is necessary to take a long time. Shen Qizong pondered for a while and said.

"Do you know the manufacturing cycle of the assault rifle?" Zhao Yu asked.

Shen Qizong smiled: "Isn't the prince joking? What the assault gun looked like, the last general didn't know. How can the end of the manufacturing cycle you said, how can you know? ”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "It may take a long time to start manufacturing just now, but after it matures, a skilled craftsman can make an assault rifle in a month." And it is not limited by the climate, it is enough to have iron and charcoal! ”

The reason why the manufacturing cycle of bows and crossbows is so long is not only because of the cumbersomeness of the bows themselves, but also because of the restrictions of the seasons. When making a bow and crossbow, different processes need to choose different seasons to ensure the quality of the bow.

"All bows are dried in winter, and spring liquid horns, summer smelting tendons, autumn three materials, cold laying body, ice analysis jue" This sentence explains the tediousness of making bows and crossbows.

Translated into the vernacular, that is, a completely dry bow is shaped in the winter of the first year; In the spring, the horns are made into pieces of the right size; In summer, it will be carded and formed, and then steamed, hammered, tightened, and torn by hand so that it will no longer shrink into thin strips; In autumn, glue the tendons on the outside of the bow trunk and the upper corners on the inside of the bow trunk; In winter, the silk is finely wound around the bow joints; Paint when it's extremely cold; The spring of the third year was stringed. Therefore, it took four years for ancient craftsmen to make a good bow, including the selection of materials.

As soon as Zhao Yu's words came out, Shen Qizong was startled, and he immediately understood what was contained in it. It is impossible to inflict devastating damage on the bow and crossbow as soon as the assault rifle is released, but it is inevitable that he will violate traditional interests.

Zhao continued: "Not only that, but it takes at least three years for a farmer to be trained to become a qualified archer. Even if a hunter becomes an archer, it takes half a year to train and become familiar with the bows and crossbows and orders in the army. And what about a commando soldier? It only takes a month, because they are very simple, and they can cast ammo when the enemy is near. And you don't need to exercise your arm strength for a long time, and you don't need too high eyesight, so you can use it for slightly stronger people, and the effect is to intimidate the enemy. ”

Shen Qizong said bitterly: "The last general knows why the prince didn't dare to come out with a musket!" Once the assault rifle appears on a large scale, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will cause a violent storm! ”
