Looking at the artillery sampled, the data produced is indeed not false. Zhao Xiaoxi also feels that the ancient craftsmen are indeed very sincere in this regard. He will not deceive and deceive, his boss who contributes money and efforts.

Although these artillery pieces have nearly 1,000 catties recently, Zhao Xiaoxi knows that with these small artillery pieces that can carry out long-range attacks. Even if he fights with the cavalry of the Liao State in a field offensive and defensive battle, I believe that he will win in the end.

Especially at close range, the fireball is lethal enough to make the nomad cavalry collapse. What's more, in addition to these long-range strike weapons, the close-range lethality weapons prepared by Zhao Xiaoxi for the army are also not bad at all.

Although Cho Hyo-seok couldn't design any rifles and machine guns, arquebuses were still developed. Although the style is still a bit rough, the striking effect is not bad either. Compared to the striking power of a bow and arrow, this thing is not bad at all.

A qualified archer is very time-consuming compared to training. To train a qualified musketeer, you only need to let the opponent shoot more live ammunition, which I believe will reduce the time a lot.

Most importantly, the appearance of arquebuses will also change the disadvantage of the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty against the melee of the nomadic archers. As long as an effective gun platoon effect is formed, the cavalry group will charge, but I am afraid that it will not produce much effect.

In addition, there are artillery long-range reinforcements, and the nomadic cavalry will charge collectively, and it is believed that the battle loss ratio will make the nomadic cavalry feel bloody. And the arquebus is just the first batch of muskets that Cho Hyo-seok is preparing to prepare.

Now in the workshops of New South City, whether it is the production of high-quality steel, or other supporting research. is in full swing, as long as the industrial strength is improved, I believe he will see the appearance of smokeless rifles sooner or later.

The meal should be eaten in one bite, and the road should be walked step by step. For the results of the current firearms workshop. Cho Hyo-seok is still sure. In addition, the current army and navy need a transition period, who knows what the workshop will do in the future?

In contrast to artillery, which requires some professionals, arquebuses are less demanding. Reborn in this era, Cho Hyo-seok has never felt the taste of guns. Naturally, it is inevitable to try it once.

For this kind of arquebus that needs to be loaded with gunpowder and needs to clean the barrel before shooting, Zhao Xiaoxi also thinks. At this time, even if he was given an old semi-automatic rifle, he would be ecstatic.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who was born in an elite army in his previous life, although he has internal force to protect himself in this life, he can enjoy the pleasure that he could not feel in his previous life. But the soldier's dependence on guns cannot be changed in any way.

Before this gun was replaced, it is estimated that Zhao Xiaoxi would not look at it. But right now. This arquebus is the most advanced standard rifle of this era. I've thought about the taste of shooting, but there is no other semicolon besides this one!

Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi's first shot, the results were better than all the testers. Those craftsmen and Wu Wei, who tested the gun, also felt that seeing this, they really thought, is there anything in this world that Zhao Xiaoxi can't do?

After firing six shots in a row, Cho Hyo-seok finally found a taste for shooting. But when you feel that your nose is choked. Cho Hyo-seok also felt that the smoke produced by this musket shooting. It's a lot bigger than you think.

But he also knew that smokeless gunpowder was not so easy to develop. Nowadays, it is inevitable that the arquebus produced will produce such a large amount of smoke after firing.

felt that if he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would choke to death. Cho Hyo-seok finally stopped his gun addiction. Throw the arquebus to the guards who reload his ammunition. But at this time, I saw Li Yuncong and others who were a little ready to move.

Understand that shooting is a game that any hot-blooded man can't control. Zhao Xiaoxi also asked directly: "Yun Cong, Yue Laosan." Do you all feel what this arquebus tastes like? ”

Looking at everyone and nodding with a smile, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said, "Okay, it's okay for you to try." Only, you must follow the teachings of the testers. Don't look at the smooth play of this gun king, but you may not! ”

For Zhao Xiaoxi's ridicule, everyone ignored it and stood on the test gun position one by one. The arquebus in the hands of the tester took it to his hand and felt it well. I think the weight of this gun is really a bit heavy in my hand.

Wait until the tester asks them to feel the shape and weight of the arquebus, and then talks about some of the essentials of action that need to be paid attention to when shooting. Only then did everyone feel that a simple shooting action did not seem to be so easy to complete.

It is clear that these testers are Zhao Xiaoxi's henchmen and guards, and even the naval commanders who were born in Wuwei are also very polite to these people. Anyway, they are here as apprentices today, so they naturally have to listen to these masters.

After the lecture was completed on the essentials of shooting, the work of loading gunpowder was also completed by the testers on their behalf. After all, the amount of gunpowder will directly affect the effectiveness of the shot, and in severe cases, it will also cause the musket to explode.

If, at such a time, there is a matter of musket exploding, it will really lose the face of the entire firearms workshop. For this purpose, the gunpowder loading is also carried out by the test shooter, which also ensures that the danger is minimized.

After they finished raising their guns and lit the fire rope, everyone felt that the barrel of the gun was slightly back. The tip of the gun was raised directly high, which meant that the bullets fired out were directly knocked away by them.

At this moment, they finally understood why Cho Hyo-seok said that this shooting looks simple, but it actually requires experience. It's almost impossible to do what he did the first time.

The people who felt a little embarrassed soon heard Zhao Xiaoxi comforting: "Okay, don't feel ashamed." Anyone, the first time he test-fired this musket, he can't fully grasp the stability of the gun, just a few more shots and experience.

Anyway, we're all staying in the firearms workshop today, so that you can also have a gun addiction. When, you feel the same, then when will it end. In the future, many of you will be equipped with this musket.

I'm sure you've also seen that this musket will also be a weapon for close combat at sea in the future. The effect of being hit by this bullet is more powerful than that of a bow and arrow. So, you really have to be humble and learn a little! ”

With Zhao Xiaoxi's comfort, everyone felt much better on their faces. As long as you don't compare yourself with Zhao Xiaoxi, the psychology of feeling embarrassed will be slowed down a lot. After all, this was their first time shooting!

After shooting several times in a row, Yue Laosan, a person with a kung fu foundation, gradually mastered the strength of the recoil generated by arquebus shooting. When you grasp the shot, you will not deviate too much from the muzzle movement, and it is a matter of course to hit the target.

Looking at the target in front of him, a clear bullet hole appeared, Yue Laosan looked very excited and said, "Haha, Lao Tzu finally hit." It seems that my Yue Laosan is not stupid, and he can learn new things faster than you! ”

Listening to Yue Laosan's smug look, Li Yuncong and the others also knew that this guy was this kind of virtue. The heart is not bad, but he likes to be competitive. Coupled with his skill in the water, everyone actually admires him very much.

According to the news obtained by Zhao Xiaoxi, this guy used to be in the rivers and lakes, and he also mixed up the title of a crocodile god in the South China Sea. Now at sea, the navy under his command has the best underwater skills for the entire force.

The only thing that is a little frustrating is that this guy is not good at commanding combat. There is no problem with letting him go into battle to kill the enemy, but if he is allowed to command the battle, then there will be a big problem. Therefore, this person can only become a fierce general, not a handsome talent.

Fortunately, Yue Laosan also knows that he is indeed inferior to others in terms of arranging troops. But he knew that Zhao Xiaoxi would partner him with the best lieutenant commander, so that he could also lead his troops to fight.

In fact, Zhao Xiaoxi also specially mentioned Yue Laosan, if he wants to command so many subordinates, sometimes he has to learn to delegate power. Even have to respect some of his subordinates who are younger and less skilled than him.

As long as the other party can give reasonable reasons, then as the commander-in-chief, he should follow the advice of his subordinates. If a general in command of the army knows that the operational command is not good, but insists on the layman to guide the insider, the final consequence is to bury himself and his subordinates.

With Zhao Xiaoxi's suggestion, Yue Laosan also knows his character, and he really doesn't like to spend more brains thinking about problems. It is better for him to think about these things, than to be told how to do it, and he will try to carry it out.

Although he is now, he is only the commander of the Qiongzhou base under Zhao Xiaoxi. But Yue Laosan also knew that if it weren't for Zhao Xiaoxi's fancy for his underwater kung fu, he would not have survived until now, let alone having children.

Coupled with this time, Cho Hyo-seok began to shift his career focus overseas. In both official and private affairs, Zhao Xiaoxi entrusted him with important tasks, which made Yue Laosan feel very comfortable. But he also knows that he can't be pampered.

The same environment will change a person's personality, although at the moment they will still experience the battlefield from time to time, and live a life of swords and arrows. But Yue Laosan felt that he was respected and aweed by others from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, on the rivers and lakes, others thought he was hateful, and they couldn't wait to curse him behind their backs. But now at the base on Qiongzhou Island, the children of those officers and soldiers will affectionately call him Commander Yue, and they won't think he looks terrible.

This kind of environment of being accepted and recognized made Yue Laosan feel that this is the treatment he needs to get. His face is innate, and he is powerless to change it. But other people's evaluation of him can be changed.

In addition, the eldest brother and the second sister who learned to worship have now found their purpose in life. As their third brother, Yue Laosan also hopes that one day in the future, when he sees these two righteous brothers and sisters again, he can reassure them about him.

And this kind of opportunity, Zhao Xiaoxi also promised that as long as there is a chance in the future, he will give Yue Laosan, Duan Yanqing, and Ye Erniang the opportunity to meet again. At that time, he can even hold the newborn child to meet.

I believe that scene will definitely make the three of them feel that the world is actually very fair to them. Ugly people can have a happy life! (To be continued......)
