Although Xiao Yi's words were only a few short sentences, they revealed great trust in the three of them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After hearing this, the three of them also felt Xiao Yi's trust, and their hearts were relieved.

As Shangguan, Xiao Yiyan has said so clearly, what else is he worried about, he can only try his best to make the best shield.

Xiao Yi once again instructed a few words before leaving, and the three of them had no worries.

After Xiao Yi left, Heli made a drawing according to Xiao Yi's request, and when the materials arrived, the production of the shield officially began.

This time it was because Xiao also asked for a sample, and the whole process of making the shield was only completed by the three Qi Laos, and the drawings were issued after the style was set.

Xiao Yi left the workshop and went to Zhongyang's house again. Zhongyang also chose a relatively remote and smaller courtyard by himself, saying that it was made quietly.

Xiao also knocked on the door as usual, but no one came to open the door, is Zhongyang not there?

Shaking his head and was about to leave, he heard a 'squeak' from behind, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Zhongyang.

Zhongyang opened the door and saw that it was Xiao Yi, "Oh, it turned out that the adult was here, and the old man was lazy." Saying that, make way for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, walked into the hut, and saw a hard kang with straw mats on the kang.

And there was nothing in the room, just a pair of tables and chairs. Xiao Yi saw a lot of thick drawings pressed on the table, so he walked to the table and looked at it.

"Uncle Zhong, I'm here today to discuss with you about making a firecracker." After a pause, Xiao Yi continued, "I originally wanted to discuss it with my husband yesterday......"

Zhong Yang waved his hand, he didn't pay attention to this matter at all, who didn't have anything to do with it.

He picked up a drawing and said, "Look, my lord, this is the normal three-eyed blueprint of the Ordnance Division. ”

I picked up another one, "This one contains all the materials needed and the heat for making them." ”

"This is the new three-eyed gun I'm trying to draw."

Xiao Yi was dazzled by the drawings, but it was not so difficult to understand when he looked closely.

Xiao Yi picked up the drawings of the new three-eyed gun and asked, "Uncle Zhong's new three-eyed gun is not finished yet?" ”

Zhong Yang nodded first, and then shook his head: "It's already half done, but some details still need to be improved." ”

Xiao Yi asked with interest, "How far can this fire gun shoot if it is completed?" ”

"It also depends on how meticulous the production is and the materials used. At present, the firecrackers made by the craftsmen of the guards in various parts of the Ming Dynasty are opportunistic, and the materials used are also uneven, so the three-eyed guns made not only have a range of more than 30 steps, but also have the danger of being bored. ”

Xiao Yi nodded, indeed. This careless production and dealing with materials has multiplied the boring rate of the explosion, and many people have overlooked the sharpness of firearms.

Many of the officers and men who used it made great determination every time they fired a shot, and many of them were injured by the bombing.

This has also caused a deep misunderstanding among officers and soldiers about firearms, that is, they are rarely used. This is true of the three-eyed gun, and the same is true of the bird's gun, etc.

Zhong Yang picked up the drawing, pointed to a place and continued, "However, adults are willing to give small enough manpower and materials, and there will be no problems. Now the problem of the Ming Three-eyed Gun is more in these places, which is the weakness of the fire gun, the poor materials, and the poor craftsmanship of the craftsmen. If it is made by an old man, the three-eyed gun can be shot up to 30 steps away, and there is no worry about fried boring, and the power is not small! ”

Xiao Yi nodded, everything needs to be done step by step. Now no one knows how to make bird guns, so they can only make some three-eyed guns first.

However, if the Three-Eyed Gun is well-made, it will be enough to be used for a period of time until the Bird Gun is finished.

There is another thing, Xiao Yi thought about it for a long time.

That is, after such a long battle, Xiao Yi felt that the sword player only played the role of guarding the spearman, and his hands were short and a lot of combat power was wasted.

And the pikeman, even if he wants to take on a short soldier, plays a big role, but he also has more room for improvement.

"Does Mr. Zhong know of a firearm that can only be used once?" Xiao also asked tentatively.

Xiao Yi has never thought about bows and arrows, although bows and arrows are easier to make than firearms, but they are not as harmful as firearms.

It is estimated that it is difficult to break the bow and arrow when it encounters the heavy armor of Houjin, but firearms are different, and the armor of Houjin people can be regarded as almost nothing!

And now few people can draw the bow, and it takes at least a few months or even a year to train a qualified archer, while the time is very short, and the army is relatively fast.

Moreover, this is a golden age for firearms to show their power and development. How could Xiao Yi give up advanced firearms and make old-fashioned bows and arrows, he is not one of those pedantic and arrogant construction slaves.

Zhongyang thought for a while, flipped through for a long time, and pulled out a few drawings from the table, "This thing is called Invincible Bamboo General, which was originally invented by someone during the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty, and has undergone many transformations from the Southern Song Dynasty to Jin, and it is still used in some places in my Ming Dynasty." ”

Xiao Yi picked up the drawings and said happily: "This is it!" Is it tedious to make? ”

Zhong Yang laughed, "This thing can be made with bamboo, it is quite convenient to make, and the old man can also make it." ”

"That's great!"

"This invincible bamboo general loading method is a front-loading type, although the materials and production are very simple, but the range is very short, the original range is only seven or eight steps away, even if I make the maximum range is only ten steps." Zhongyang said with some pity.

Xiao Yi nodded, "Ten steps is enough, and the production of the Three-Eyed Gun and the Invincible Bamboo General will all be handed over to Uncle Zhong!" ”

Seeing Zhong Yang nodding, Xiao Yi glanced down at the drawings on the table, and suddenly had a whim, "If you want to give the spearman more long-range ability, Uncle Zhong has a way?" ”

Zhongyang thought for a moment and continued, "Do you know that there is a thing called a musket? ”

Xiao Yi patted his thigh and nodded again and again, "This thing has been used since the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

In fact, the invention of the musket can be traced back to the Five Dynasties period, which was recorded in the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Song army often used this musket and the invincible bamboo general to kill and injure the Jin army, but at that time, the invincible bamboo general was called the assault musket.

Zhong Yang nodded, "This musket is also simple to manufacture, the materials are sufficient, and the range and danger are not small, but there is a point. ”

Xiao Yi sighed, "What is it?" ”

"The musket is made of a flamethrower tied to the spear, and then released in front of the battle to kill and injure the enemy, but the length of the spear used in the musket is not short, twice as long as the spear of my Ming Dynasty, if you use it, I am afraid that it will hurt your own people." Zhong Yang's words extinguished Xiao Yi's excitement.

Since this musket was so demanding, it was not used.

Xiao also plans to make more invincible bamboo generals, which will be distributed to each sword player at that time, so that when the enemy army enters the firing range, he can kill and injure the enemy army, and can also damage the morale of the enemy army and block the edge.

Xiao Yi bowed deeply to Zhongyang, and said sincerely, "Then Uncle Lao Zhong will first make thirty new-style three-eyed guns, and the invincible bamboo general will make two hundred, and Mr. Huang Yang can find a few people in terms of materials and manpower, and then record them at An Keping." ”

Zhong Yang saw such a big gift, and hurriedly returned the salute, "The old man is tormented, and the old man will do his best to make it since he has come to Yong'an Fort." ”

After saying goodbye, Xiao Yi left Zhongyang, Zhongyang looked at Xiao Yi's back, closed the door, smiled and shook his head.

"It's really strange, strange tunbao, strange tunguan, it's not at all different from other places."

Then I sat down at the table and continued my research.
