I saw Li Su walk to the first row of shelves on the right side of the door, take the first musket in his hand, look at it with a strange face, and find that it is not so much a musket as a steel pipe closed at one end, but at the closed end, there is a piece of wood suspected to be the butt of the gun, and then at the upper end of the steel pipe, a small hole is opened.

Seeing that Li Yu was very interested in this gun, Liu Renliang came over and introduced: "Your Highness, this is the first gun successfully made on the island, when you use it, you must first insert the medicine primer into the small hole, then charge and compact, and finally ignite the medicine primer and ignite the gunpowder, so as to fire the projectile, but because of the sealing, the range of this gun is very close, at most only fifty steps, and the operation is too complicated, so there is no actual combat value." ”

Li Su nodded after hearing this, this kind of gun is actually a miniature version of the artillery, even the way of ignition is exactly the same, and the production of this musket is too rough, the range of fifty steps is estimated to be incomparable to the pistols of later generations, if you want to use this musket to kill the enemy, it is possible unless the other party stands motionless in front of you.

After putting down the most primitive musket, Li Su turned around the warehouse with his hands behind his back, and found that although there were many guns here, they were generally only divided into two categories, one was like the one he saw just now, which was ignited by means of medicine and prime, and the other was to hit the fire, that is, the flintlock pistol of later generations.

In fact, according to the history of the development of firearms, before the flintlock pistol, there was also a kind of arquebus, which had a similar structure to the flintlock pistol, except that the flint was abandoned at the front end of the hammer, and it was replaced with a lit arquebus, and the trigger was pulled when used. The ignited inquiring rope ignites the gunpowder in the ignition pond and fires it.

Compared to a flintlock pistol. Arquebuses not only require a large number of arquebuses, but they are also very cumbersome to operate. Generally speaking, the firing speed of the flintlock pistol is more than twice that of the arquebus, and the arquebus is not safe, the gunner may be ignited by the ignited arquebus, resulting in accidental injury, so after the invention of the flintlock pistol, the arquebus slowly withdrew from the stage of history.

Li Su did not have much research on firearms, let alone the relationship between arquebuses and flintlock pistols, but he knew how firearms were ignited in later generations. It's a pity that the copper-shelled bullets of later generations can't be made now, which is not only a problem of craftsmanship, but also a primer is enough for Li Su to scratch his head. However, Li Su thought of the principle of the old-fashioned lighter in later generations, so he thought of using flint to ignite the fire, that is, the flintlock pistol of later generations, after all, compared with the arquebus, the principle of the flintlock pistol is very close to the firearms of later generations.

Li Su walked and watched in the warehouse, and Yifan was like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden. Touching this and looking at that, there were a few relatively large guns, and she didn't want to pick them up, but she almost crushed her small body.

And Liu Renliang followed Li Su's side. When he saw which gun Li Su picked up, he immediately talked about the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of gun, and there were at least hundreds of guns in this room. It's hard for him to remember it all so clearly. However, from Liu Renliang's explanation, Li Yu also learned about the history of the development of muskets on Perak Island. For example, take the flintlock pistol, although the flintlock pistol was invented very early. However, due to problems such as craftsmanship, the early flintlock pistol could not ignite, and with the gradual improvement later, the probability of this happening was minimized.

After Li Su walked around the warehouse, he didn't choose any guns, but said to Liu Ren: "Ren Rail, are there any guns used by the soldiers outside?" ”

After hearing this, Liu Renliang immediately turned around, pulled out a box under the innermost shelf, opened it and placed more than a dozen guns inside, and then said: "Your Highness Qiqi, this box is the gun used by the soldiers, if there is a gun damage during training, replace it with these spare guns." ”

Li Su walked over and picked up one, and found that this gun was really the same as the gun he saw at Lao Wu Tou just now, so he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I will use this gun." Then he looked up and said to Yifan, who was already picky, "Yifan, have you picked it well, let's go out quickly and try our marksmanship!" ”

Yifan frowned and stood in the middle of the warehouse, looking at so many muskets on the shelf, but he didn't know which one to choose, in fact, this is not surprising, women generally have choice obstacles, for example, women in later generations buy clothes, often choose a few that are suitable, but in the end they are distressed about which one to choose, and now Yifan is in this distress.

Li Su smiled when he saw this, and casually took out a gun from the box and sent it to Yifan and said, "Let's use the same one, so it's fair to compare." ”

Yifan also felt that it made sense after hearing it, and he didn't choose anymore at the moment, picked up the gun and followed Li Su outside, but the guns used by these soldiers were made according to the height of men, and a little woman in Yifan was carrying a gun as tall as her, which looked really funny.

After coming to the shooting range outside, Liu Renliang personally demonstrated the use of the musket to the two of them, and then picked up the gun to aim, with the sound of 'bang', a puff of black smoke came out, and the projectile inside hit the target eighty steps away like lightning, which attracted Li Su, Yifan and others to applaud loudly.

Seeing that Liu Renliang had such marksmanship, Li Su couldn't wait to bring his musket over, and then picked up a paper tube with the thickness of chalk from the plate on the table, as a later generation, Li Su naturally knew bullets, although he couldn't do it now, but the principle of quantitative ammunition was understood, so he had something in his hand, that is, paper bullets.

I saw Li Su follow Liu Renliang's appearance just now, put one end of the bullet into his mouth, and wanted to bite the paper shell open, but he didn't expect him to use his strength, but he almost knocked out his teeth. At this time, Liu Renliang next to him kindly reminded: "Your Highness, you bite the opposite." ”

Li Su's face turned red after hearing this, and one end of the paper-shell bullet was wrapped around the projectile, and the other end could be bitten open.

However, Li Su knew that his mistake could be corrected, so he immediately bit the paper shell open, and when he bitten, Li Su smelled a strong smell of mutton fat, and after biting the paper shell, there was gunpowder inside, and a little was poured out in the ignition pool, and then all the rest was poured into the muzzle, and then the projectile wrapped in oiled paper was stuffed into the muzzle, and the projectile and gunpowder were compacted with an iron bar, which was considered to be a complete preparation.

Compared to Li Su, who only made a small mistake, Yifan was not so smooth, when Li Su flattened the gun and began to aim, Yifan just stuffed the projectile into the muzzle of the gun, and was hurriedly stabbing it with an iron bar. Seeing this situation, Li Su laughed proudly, and after making sure that he had taken aim, he finally pulled the trigger.

"Phew!" With the sound of a gunshot, Li Su only felt that the butt on his shoulder suddenly hit backwards, although he had heard Liu Renliang talk before, and he had already made psychological preparations, but he didn't expect the recoil to be so strong, and as a result, his hand involuntarily lifted up, and the projectile didn't know where it flew?

Seeing that Li Su didn't hit, Yifan next to her laughed happily, and at this time she was ready, raised the heavy gun with both hands, and finally pulled the trigger after aiming for a long time. Originally, her strength was not as good as Li Su, and like Li Su, she didn't expect the recoil to be so great, so in the end, she also followed in the footsteps of Li Su, and even inferior to Li Su, and the bullets flew into the sky to hit the stars.

Seeing that Yifan didn't hit, Li Su didn't have time to laugh at the other party, but under the guidance of Liu Renliang, he cleaned the barrel, then compacted the charge, and raised the musket again.

This made Li Su's confidence greatly increased, and he prepared to charge again, and finally hit the target for the third time, although it was still far from the bull's-eye, but at such a long distance, it was already very good to be able to hit the target.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, it seems that Your Highness is also very talented for muskets!" At this time, Liu Renliang finally smiled. Although he also knew that Li Su's shot had a lot of luck, but being able to hit the target with the third shot was not something that ordinary people could do.

And Li Su was also a little fluttery after hearing this, and turned his head to make a provocative gesture. And Yifan was only ready for the second shot at this time, and when he saw Li Su's proud appearance, he rolled his eyes angrily, and aimed and shot again, the result was a little better than the first shot, but he still missed the target.

At this time, Li Su let out a smug laugh again, charged and shot again, but unfortunately, his good luck may have been used up temporarily, and the next three shots failed to hit the target again, but Yifan's luck was very good, and when he shot the fifth shot, he finally hit a shot by mistake.

Li Su originally thought that shooting a gun should be a very easy and fun thing, but after a dozen shots in a row, the shoulder had been hit by the recoil, and Yifan was even more unbearable, after the fifth shot, he never hit again, firstly, because he wanted to maintain this good result, and secondly, because his shoulder really couldn't stand it.

After Li Suqiang endured the pain and fired a few more shots, he also felt a little unbearable, and finally put the gun down and rubbed his shoulders and said, "Ren Rail, your marksmanship is good, you must have suffered a lot, right?" ”

After hearing this, Liu Renliang smiled and said: "Your Highness is serious, as a general, if you can't make an example for these soldiers, then you can't suppress these rebellious young people!" ”

After hearing this, Li Su laughed and patted Liu Renliang's shoulder, and he also valued this thin middle-aged man more in his heart, although the other party's temper was a little unpleasant, but only with this seriousness and perseverance, he deserved to be a generation of famous generals and famous faces. Although he is still not well-known now, but today he wants to let this army out of the mountain, and it must be in the future battlefield of the Japanese Kingdom, this army will definitely be able to shine, and Liu Renliang's name will also be known with this army.

However, if you want to attack the Wa Kingdom, this army alone is far from enough, even if you add the slave army and the Silla army that are being prepared, but Li Su has already thought of a way, and there is still a ready-made army waiting for him to summon! (To be continued.) )
