10 buried weapons of the Ming army

?)โ€œ General, how is the archery of the last general? โ€

Fan Qing carried a short bow and walked to Li Long's side excitedly, looking at Li Long with wide eyes and expectation.

"Good, good!"

Fan Qing was praised, looked at the eager soldiers, and said loudly: "General, my soldiers are also very powerful, can you take a look?" โ€

Li Long nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, the general will wait and see." โ€

"Well, I'll arrange it."

After Fan Qing gave the order, he ordered: "Behave well, let's go!" โ€

"No!"

Ten soldiers responded loudly and headed for the training grounds. Standing in the center of the field, the ten soldiers were all holding their breath with solemn expressions on their faces. Standing on the far left, probably a general, shouted to prepare, and ten soldiers neatly held short bows, put bows and arrows on the bowstring, and aimed at the arrow target fifty meters away!

"Whew!

"Whew!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Ten bows and arrows came out one after another, with a whistling sound, and went straight to the arrow target fifty meters away. Almost in the blink of an eye, the bow and arrow pierced through the air had hit the target, and the sound of thumping kept ringing. In the end, none of the ten bows and arrows missed the target, and all of them hit the target. Unfortunately, only one bow and arrow hit the bull's-eye, and the other bows and arrows were shot at various parts of the target.

Seeing this, the ten soldiers who shot the arrows were all relieved.

Seeing that ten people were all shot at the arrow target, Fan Qing's tense heart also fell to the ground, and she was finally not ashamed. He ran to Li Long and said, "General, the soldiers of the last general are well trained, right?" โ€

Li Long said flatly: "So-so! โ€

"Huh?"

Fan Qing waited for Li Long's praise with anticipation, but she got a word that was not painful, and she felt very uncomfortable. Despite this, Fan Qing secretly decided in her heart that she must show better results next time and be praised by Li Long. Therefore, for this reason, it also caused the soldiers under Fan Qing's command to train harder and very hard, of course, this is a later story.

Li Long glanced at the other teenagers, and there was no disbelief in the eyes of these teenagers.

Obviously, Li Long's evaluation made the soldiers unhappy, and they did not agree with Li Long's evaluation.

Li Long's expression was solemn, and he ordered: "Zhang Shoubei, take a strong bow and come over." โ€

"No!"

Zhang Cheng answered, then turned around and left. Looking at Li Long's posture, he wanted to use means to deter this group of poorly trained and poorly disciplined soldiers.

For the new general Li Long, Zhang Cheng also wanted to see the emperor himself

Li Long looked at Fan Qing and ordered, "Mr. Fan Qian, you go and adjust the arrow target and raise the arrow target higher." โ€

"Yes, the last general will go."

After Fan Qing heard this, he immediately turned around and went to carry out Li Long's order.

Just as Fan Qing had just turned around and was getting ready, Li Long instructed again: "Mr. Fan Qian, place two arrow targets, align the two arrow targets front and back, and the distance between the arrow targets is one meter." โ€

Fan Qing hummed and walked forward.

After a while, Zhang Cheng came to Li Long with a strong bow and handed the strong bow to Li Long. Li Long tried the bowstring, nodded in satisfaction, and walked towards the training ground.

"Oh, it's only fifty meters."

"Well, that's it, it's only fifty meters away."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

This group of scattered soldiers whispered, with a look of disdain in their eyes. Because the distance between Li Long and the arrow target is only fifty meters, Fan Qing can also shoot at such a short distance. Even if Li Long shoots through the arrow target, it can't reflect how powerful Li Long is, because Li Long is ten years older than Fan Qing, and when Fan Qing grows up, he will definitely be more powerful than Li Long.

At this moment, Li Long's impression on the soldiers suddenly shrank, and he was not so unattainable.

Even when the three guards saw that Li Long had only placed the arrow target for fifty meters, they were disdainful in their hearts. But as a garrison officer, you still have to measure the face of the chief.

Fan Qing saw the soldiers whispering and shouted: "Shut up whatever you are arguing about!" โ€

Since Li Long chose a distance of fifty meters, he must have a purpose.

The soldiers stood in the distance and whispered, which had no effect on Li Long. His body stood still, as immovable as a pine. He picked up a strong bow in his left hand, and took a feather bow and arrow from Zhang Cheng's hand with his right hand. Li Long put his bow and arrow on the bowstring, aimed at the two arrow targets that were aligned front and back, and suddenly shouted: "Kill! โ€

In an instant, a terrifying momentum emanated from Li Long's body.

The momentum is domineering and ferocious, making people feel like a mountain of fallen corpses and a sea of blood.

Fan Qing stood beside Li Long at close range, stunned by the momentum released by Li Long, and it took a long time to return to normal. Although the soldiers standing in the distance did not feel it as close as Fan Qing, they also closed their mouths and did not speak. Obviously, the momentum suddenly released by Li Long frightened the soldiers.

At the last moment, Li Long was still smiling and amiable.

At this moment, the momentum released by Li Long was full of murderous energy, as fierce and ferocious as the devil.

The soldiers were all shocked by Li Long. Li Long's eyes rolled, and he caught a glimpse of the surprised expressions of the soldiers, the corners of his mouth hooked, and an intriguing smile appeared on his face. This group of little children, under the leadership of Fan Qing, is as high as a proud peacock in their bones, and they are invincible. But it's still far from fighting him.

"Bang!"

The speed of the bow and arrow was rapid and fast, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the target placed in front of it. The powerful force on the arrow instantly penetrated the target and shot at the second target.

"Bang!"

The bow and arrow hit the heart of the second target without the slightest surprise.

However, to the surprise of the soldiers, the bow and arrow hit the target, directly penetrated the target, and continued to shoot forward for some distance before landing on the ground.

"Shhh Hiss! โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

The soldiers were dumbfounded, looking at the target with two small holes exposed, all in horror.

At this time, Fan Qing also recovered from the shock, glanced at the stunned soldiers, and snorted coldly, with a look of disdain in his eyes. A man like a general, how can these ordinary people figure it out clearly. Seeing that Li Long showed strong strength, Fan Qing also showed a proud look on his face, as if he had hit the target.

The corners of Li Long's mouth hooked, he took a deep breath, and ordered: "Mr. Qian, prepare two arrow targets again, also one meter apart." โ€

"Yes!"

"Ah, it's a hundred meters."

"Really, standing a hundred meters away."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The soldiers saw Li Long holding a strong bow and kept retreating, and their faces showed incredible expressions.

If Li Long stood a hundred meters away to shoot arrows as soon as he came up, the soldiers would definitely take it for granted. Because Li Long's ability is older, his ability should be stronger. However, Li Long first stood fifty meters away with a strong bow and shot through two arrow targets, which made the soldiers startled, and now he suddenly stood a hundred meters away, and the effect was even more shocking.

Fan Qing looked at Li Long standing a hundred meters away, with a look of adoration in his eyes.

Shoot two arrow targets from a hundred meters away, worthy of a general!

"Squeak!"

The bowstring was fully drawn, making a clicking sound, as if it was about to be unable to withstand Li Long's strength, and it was on the verge of breaking. zero

The hundred soldiers in the distance widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide, with a look of surprise in their eyes. After such a powerful big bow was fully pulled by Li Long, it was about to break, and its strength was simply unimaginable. At this moment, the soldiers seemed to understand why Lu Meng admired Li Long so much.

A man with such a lot of power is amazing.

"Click!"

The bowstring snapped, and the strong bow snapped in two.

The crisp sound was not high, but all the teenagers heard the sound of the bowstring breaking, Li Longhun didn't care, and said lightly: "Zhang Shoubei, get a stronger powerful bow again." โ€

Zhang Shoubei frowned slightly when he saw that Li Long had broken the bowstring, but he saw a faint smile on Li Long's face, and he was not ashamed of the broken bow and arrow.

Was it intentional?

Zhang Shoubei thought about it and felt that it was very possible.

Obviously, Zhang Shoubei felt that Li Longtai did not grasp the center of gravity.

Although Lu Meng showed impressive skills, Zhang Shoubei didn't think it was worth Li Long's effort. This is also why Zhang Shoubei didn't understand Li Long's thoughts, so he considered it like this.

Zhang Shoubei ran away quickly, and the soldiers standing in the distance became short of breath.

The bowstring was full, and before I saw Li Long exert his strength, it was actually broken.

"Goo-dong!"

"Goo-dong!"

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The soldiers swallowed, the expressions on their faces became humble, and when they looked at Li Long with dark eyes, they showed a look of adoration. This is also so that they can train well in the future, and in a few months, the Qing troops will enter Shandong to plunder.

Li Long deliberately pulled off the bowstring, which immediately left a deep impression on the hearts of the soldiers.

After a while, Zhang Shoubei took a strong bow again.

Li Long took the strong bow and tried it, although the strong bow still couldn't withstand his strength, it was enough.

Achieving the purpose of deterring the soldiers, Li Long directly took the bow and arrow and put it on the bowstring, and after aiming at the arrow target a hundred meters away, he suddenly let go of his hand. In an instant, the bow and arrow burst out like a meteor falling, and the arrow pierced the air and rushed towards the target a hundred meters away with a sharp piercing sound. I only heard a muffled sound, and the bow and arrow instantly penetrated the arrow target, and a huge force was transmitted from the arrow, and after breaking the arrow target, the bow and arrow continued to move forward, and instantly passed through the arrow target and shot to the second arrow target.

"Bang!"

The arrow is inserted into the second target, and it quickly hits the red heart, piercing the target.

However, this time, the force on the arrow was much reduced, and after the arrow penetrated the target, it did not continue to pass through the target, but remained on the target.

One hundred meters, the bow and arrow did not have any difference in the pool of hits hearts.

The bow and arrow passed through the first target, shot through the second target, and finally stayed on the second target.

The soldiers smashed their mouths, with a frightened look in their eyes.

This time I went to the barracks to show my strength, and I should go back to Qingzhou Mansion now, there are still many things to do.

On the way from the camp to the camp gate, Li Long saw a locked warehouse, and the keyholes on it were poured with molten iron. Feeling very strange, Li Long asked, "Zhang Shoubei, what is in this warehouse?" Why is it still locked?"

Zhang Cheng may not have opened this house for a long time, thought for a while and replied: "General, what is placed in this warehouse is my big open firearm, due to disrepair, and the firearms are not effective on the battlefield, many newly produced firearms and artillery are sealed in this warehouse."

It is also said that the historical situation at that time was like this, and the guns and artillery could not be treated as the main weapons at that time, and the troops that used the guns on the battlefield were defeated, so the guns became an ominous weapon, and a large number of guns were sealed in each region. Qingzhou is a large province, and it is estimated that there are more weapons mothballed in the warehouse.

At this time, after Li Long heard that it was a firearm artillery, he suddenly had a new idea in his heart, that he could form a firearms unit, and he would definitely make great achievements in future battles.

Li Long said solemnly: "Open the warehouse door, I'll go in and have a look"

After listening to Li Long's instructions, Zhang Shoubei ordered the soldiers to fetch hammers and crowbars. There was a bang, and the heavy iron door was smashed open

A smell of rust came to his nose, and Li Long, along with three guards and five thousand generals, walked into this warehouse, which may have been closed for thirty years. There's nothing to see in the black hole. It's like you can't see your fingers.

Seeing this, Liu Shupei and Liu Shoubei said: "Mr. Fan Qian, go get a torch" Fan Qing was about to go. Li Long stopped drinking: "Stop, why don't you grow a little brain, all that is sealed in this warehouse is gunpowder and firearms." If the tinder touches the gunpowder, will you and I still be alive? โ€

Liu Shupei saw that his order was so stupid, he stuck out his tongue and didn't speak.

Li Long thought for a while and ordered: "Go and smash a hole in the south wall," Li Long shouted: "Just you, which Zhang Qianzong, Zhang Songsong, I haven't seen your ability yet, go and smash the wall"

Zhang Qian finally has a chance to make meritorious contributions, watching Fan Qing take all the credit, he is on fire, and now that the opportunity has come, he happily replied: "It's the general"

After twenty minutes of construction, a large hole was smashed open in the south wall of the warehouse, and a large stream of sunlight shone in through the opening, and suddenly the warehouse was as bright as day. Rows of guns and mountain cannons were neatly arranged in the warehouse. There were also black wooden boxes near the north, and Li Long walked over and ordered someone to open them. The black shells were stored in the box intact, with straw inside, and the shells were wrapped in oiled paper, which seemed to be well preserved. Li Long picked up a firearm and looked at it carefully, it seemed to be a three-eyed gun, because he had three more barrels. The inside of the chamber is very smooth, obviously there is no rifling, and the gun is very well preserved, so it is estimated that it can still be used.

There are several artillery pieces placed in the middle, and there are several Li Long who still know them, one is called the Tiger Squat Cannon, and the other is called the Red Cannon.

God, the red-clothed cannon, isn't this the murder weapon that Yuan Chonghuan used to kill Nurhachi with one shot, but Qingzhou also has this kind of heavy artillery. The Hongyi cannon was introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty and is also known as the red-coated cannon. The Hongyi cannon does have its advantages in design, its barrel is long, the pipe wall is very thick, and it is gradually thickened from the muzzle to the tail of the gun, which conforms to the principle of high pressure from high to bottom when gunpowder is burned; There are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, and the gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder; It is equipped with a crosshair and a light gate, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, which is very accurate. Most of the Hongyi cannons are about 3 meters long, with a caliber of 110-130 mm, and a weight of 2 tons. In the early Ming Dynasty, most of the guns were made of copper, the inner chamber was trumpet-shaped, the barrel was thin, and the barrel was too short for its caliber, and its appearance was basically the same as the earliest existing Yuan Dynasty "bowl mouth gun". Compared with the Hongyi cannon, this kind of firearm has less gunpowder filling, and the gunpowder gas is not well sealed, so the firing range is short, in addition, it is easy to overheat, and the rate of fire is also slow, although it is not easy to explode with copper as the material, but the cost is higher (copper is the metal that casts money), and copper is too soft, each shot will cause the barrel to expand, the shooting accuracy and range drop very quickly, the life as a weapon is too short, and the only advantage is light weight. In front of the Hongyi cannon, which weighed thousands of pounds at every turn, the fire gun in the early Ming Dynasty was really "a small witch".

The Hongyi cannon does have its advantages in design, its barrel is long, the tube wall is very thick, and it is gradually thickened from the muzzle to the tail of the gun, which is in line with the principle of high to low bore pressure when gunpowder is burned; There are cylindrical lugs on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body, and the gun can adjust the firing angle with this axis and change the firing range according to the amount of gunpowder; It is equipped with a crosshair and a light gate, and the trajectory is calculated according to the parabola, which is very accurate. Most of the Hongyi cannons are about 3 meters long, with a caliber of 110-130 mm and a weight of more than 2 tons.

The most prominent advantage of the Hongyi cannon is its range, which is an important part of the performance of heavy artillery, even today. The maximum range of the Ming Dynasty's homemade iron fire gun did not exceed three li, and it was at the risk of exploding; And the general three-thousand-pound Hongyi cannon can easily hit seven or eight miles away, and the historical records can reach as far as ten miles! Ten miles is equivalent to more than five kilometers in modern times, which is quite far away, and there were doubts about this data, but the performance of the same type of artillery in the West proved that this data was accurate (at that time, Western European countries already had the concept of territorial waters, and the territorial waters at that time were determined by the range of coastal artillery, and the territorial sea at the end of the 16th century was three nautical miles, about 5.5 kilometers). The long-range Hongyi cannon combined with the flowering shell became the strongest weapon against the Houjin siege at the end of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the tactics were: lure the cavalry of Houjin into the range of the Hongyi cannon at the head of the city, and then use the flowering shells to concentrate the fire, and the effect was remarkable. Above.

And these red-coated cannons in the warehouse of the Qingzhou military camp all have cannon ears, but I don't know if they can still be used

Li Long stroked the body of the red-clothed cannon, which was really more comfortable than touching Chen Yuanyuan's **, not a beauty, but better than a beauty...... With this kind of weapon, why worry about the immortality of the Tartars.

Li Long said happily: "Hurry up and get these weapons out, find a proper place to place them, and I'm going to come to the camp tomorrow."

The three major garrisons and the five thousand generals worked together to find someone to move out all these weapons and counted them. There are a total of 1,300 three-eyed guns, 355 Lumi guns, a kind of arquebus invented by Zhao Shizhen, an outstanding firearms developer in the Ming Dynasty, and the prototype is the arquebus paid tribute by the Rumi State (Sultanate of Rรปm) in Turkey. Also double-barreled guns and so on. There were less than 100 shotguns in the Beijing camp, and there were four red-coated cannons, three captive cannons, and two Franc machine guns. The Franc cannon is a relatively advanced artillery. Because it is easier for him to fire and reload his artillery. There are specialized powder boxes.

Seeing the firearms that were counted out really made Li Long very happy, but there was less ammunition. Because of the lack of attention paid to firearms at that time, when firearms were sealed, many ammunition was not sealed. Instead, it was directly destroyed.

Li Long's eyes turned red, and he said excitedly: "I will definitely come again tomorrow." โ€
