Chapter 270: Springfield
When the Civil War first broke out, many of the Union forces used Springfield M1855 rifles, which could theoretically kill people up to 1,000 meters away. Due to the poor reliability and high cost of the Maynard primer belt system used in the M1855 rifle, the Federation developed this more advanced Springfield M1861 rifle based on this rifle, and this new rifle became the standard weapon of the Union Army, and its most notable feature was its hunchback-like hammer shape.
What is commendable is that although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is no different from the feudal dynasty, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Taiping Army twice defeated the foreign gun team equipped to the teeth with extremely backward weapons, putting aside the meaning of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and all kinds of dirty quanli struggles in it, from the perspective of the nation, this is exactly to show the excellent national character of the Chinese nation.
At that time, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which was able to produce firearms, could only copy the guns of the British.
Even the foreign guns of that time, also called muskets, were just filled with gunpowder and iron sand, and then poked with wooden sticks, and when they encountered water, they were damp. At that time, every British soldier was not to carry two bags and a stick to be used as ammunition, and to use three formations, the first team kneeling and shooting, the second team preparing, and the third team loading. The first team retreats to the third team after shooting, the third team becomes the second team reserve, and the second team steps and kneels to become the first team. And so on and so forth.
Without further ado, Zhang Hanyue waved his hand, picked up the blade tied to his shoes, held it in his hand, and shouted behind him while running forward: "Don't use a submachine gun until you have to, listen to my orders!" ”
It just so happens that there is a large open space between the Qianqing Palace and the Baohe Palace, just like Times Square in New York, which is crowded with people, guards wearing red guard uniforms and wearing blue "pawn!" The clothes of the word converged into a river, flowing towards the small lump of blue in the middle.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Go fast! Don't let them run! Don't let them run! ”
"Archers! Archer! Where is it? Get ready to shoot your arrows! ”
A cacophony of voices came from behind him, like a death talisman that echoed behind each member of the team.
At the same time, the scene transitioned to the city wall, and Long Kedo, who had been pale-faced until now, suddenly heard the sound of fighting, turned to look at his subordinates standing aside, and asked, "Where did the sound come from?" ”
The subordinate looked to the east and replied, "If you go back to your lordship, the voice seems to have come from that place in the Qianqing Palace. ”
Roncodo's eyes rolled, and in just an instant, this simple thing turned in countless circles in his head, and he turned around and said, "Brothers! It's time for us to make a difference! Kill all these thieves! Let them know that knowing about my troops of the Nine Gate Admirals is not easy to mess with! ”
"Drink! Kill all these thieves! The enthusiasm of the crowd was successfully mobilized, but, at this moment, an extremely discordant voice sounded in his ears:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to make a contribution this time." Suddenly, such a sentence came out of nowhere, and anyone would be angry. Long Keduo turned around and saw two people wearing guard uniforms but with a murderous aura all over their bodies, and they were obviously not guards, looking at him coldly.
"Who are you? How dare you speak outrageously? Long Keduo saw that there were only a dozen people on the other side, and his heart instantly calmed down, and his voice was louder, Long Keduo looked at the way these people in front of him dressed and spoke and did things, which was exactly the same as Zhang Hanyue was carved out of a mold, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was Zhang Hanyue's guy who left behind.
I saw Long Keduo take a step forward and stand in front of those fake guards, then stared at them with angry eyes, and said, "Obstructing the imperial court officials? This is a capital offense! Don't think that once you quietly touched it, and were not discovered by the official, you think that the official is afraid of you, it is just a temporary negligence of the official, the official is worried that he can't find you, now you are good, you sent it to the door, then don't blame the light for being polite! Long Keduo said a lot of words in one breath, seeing that those fake guards didn't say anything, thinking that they were scared, this heart, is indescribably more comfortable, at this time, he only felt that his waist was not sore, and his legs were not painful, and suddenly he was refreshed, it seemed, and he was not so angry, but this revenge should still be avenged.
So, Long Keduo turned to look at the newly equipped guards behind him, and shouted, "Catch these anti-thieves who don't know the height of the sky!" Then follow me to protect the emperor! Roncodo said in high spirits.
"Roaring ......" The guards behind Long Keduo are also carrying a belly of anger, because as the guards guarding the outermost part of the Forbidden City, as the soldiers under the Nine Gates Admiral of Long Keduo, in fact, the status of the guards in the entire Forbidden City, including the pro-military camp and the Qing soldiers, is very high, not to mention the common people These goods can be handled casually, although their money is generally pitiful, and sometimes they will be eaten by their bosses, fortunately, the wool is out of the sheep, they are still the country's violent machines, The people in the capital see that they are all going to walk around, so they can also stop the hawkers on the streets of the outer city in the capital, and directly find a reason to collect taxes, or find a butcher shop to take a few catties of good front leg meat home, and the owner of this butcher shop will accompany the soldiers to send these soldiers away, and the food money for this day will be saved. So this life is not bad, and one thing is certain, where have these soldiers been treated like this, so everyone is holding their breath in their hearts and wants to get this field back.
Without saying a word, everyone drew their knives and rushed forward to do things.
The members of the commando team sneered, but also saw the opportunity, when they saw these Qing soldiers rushing up, they jumped up instantly, they were very tacitly responsible for one person, flying up and kicking the front row of soldiers, this is not enough, the soldiers behind or rushed up one after another, in an instant, I saw the team members bend over, and easily pulled out the blade inserted in their leggings, and then slashed, drawing a perfect arc in the air, instantly hitting a blood flower, splashing on the ground.
Another platoon of soldiers died in Huangquan, and it was only a few seconds between the two, if it was not enough to deter those soldiers just now, almost all the soldiers did not dare to go up now, and the few who dared to go forward were also afraid that they would become their targets.
