Chapter 773: Bird's Gun Test Firing
There are now more than 300 students in the school team, more than 100 people over 16 years old, and the rest are children, in the past, the school team was a place to gather all forces and place "hostages", but now it is a reserve team that is completely loyal to Zhao Jin, including more than 20 children of the family, more than 10 of the Jiang family, and more than 100 of Xuzhou Wei.
After Zhao came in, he did not gather people first, but came to a barracks, carefully observed the bird, made a bird, the craftsman in charge of building it can have one or two silver, the same, this craftsman has to engrave his name on the bird, if there is any fault in the manufacture of the fault, then the craftsman will have to pay for his life.
There is silver as an incentive, there is a head to kill, each bird gun is built with all his heart, it looks like a handicraft, fine everywhere, there is not a trace of error, even the black powder sent is carefully sifted with a sieve, so as to be easy to use, Zhao Jin looked over and over again, and indeed couldn't find anything wrong, but it was just a bird gun that couldn't find anything wrong.
The handle is too small, about the same size as the handle of the embroidered spring knife, so that it is difficult to maintain stability when shooting, the accurate head must not be good, the gun pipe is too thin and long, not to mention how much work it will take to build such a gun pipe, such a gun pipe is easy to deform in a collision, and the gun pipe is too long to make the procedures of filling lead and compacting gunpowder relatively troublesome, Zhao Jin looked over and over here, but it made the Xu family steward who sent the bird gun over and over extremely nervous, and the uncle looked too carefully, looking at the uncle's expression, Obviously not very satisfied.
The fire gun in Zhao Jin's memory is that the gun tube is shorter, the caliber is larger, and the handle of the fire gun is larger and longer, which can be worn against the shoulder, but knowing that such regulations do not mean that it can be manufactured immediately, details and proportions can also determine success or failure, Zhao Jin also doesn't want the Xu family to try to produce it, and the control over there is not very strict, in case this set of things is learned by others, there will definitely be a big risk,
And now, Zhao Jin doesn't want the family to use firearms too early, the core troops of the Zhao Zi battalion have few battles, and they must exercise their courage and blood in every hand-to-hand encounter, and now there are many family members who have not seen blood and experienced actual combat, and they can't let them develop inertia and timidity in the use of fire guns early, if the battle is frequent, then it's okay, but in this situation, they can't let them contact too early.
Things have to be looked at from two sides, their own affairs are known, Zhao Jin knows that the biggest weakness of his spear phalanx at the moment is long-range attack and protection, with the scale of the three regiments and five brigades of the Zhao Zi battalion, the number of archers is less than three hundred, and when it comes to real fighting, these three hundred can barely cover the two regiments may not be enough, the reason why he has not suffered a loss, but he has not encountered a too strong enemy.
The school team has its own school field, because it is still learning the use of firearms, and there is an earthen wall around it, Zhao ordered to enter and exit, and soon a company of students came to the school field to gather
“。 These fifteen birds, one for each of them, were reloaded with fire until they could no longer fire."
This kind of bird gun fire for about seven consecutive years, the gun pipe will be hot and overheated, can not continue to load and cast, know how to use a moist thick cloth to wipe the gun pipe to cool down, this experience Zhao Ziying also taught, but most of the time is on paper, not much time to use.
Seeing Zhao Jin coming in person, the whole team of Xueding was abnormal, and they hoped that they could show themselves well in front of Zhao Jin.
The "ready" squad was shouting, and the cadets immediately loaded their ammunition according to the experience of the drill and training, first poured the gunpowder into the gunpowder tube, compacted it with a whole strip, then put in the lead, and then stuffed it with straw paper, which was to prevent the muzzle from tilting downward, the lead slid out of the gun, and then poured the gunpowder into the medicine pool, clamped the lit fire rope to the bird's beak pliers, and clamped the bird's gun to the wooden fork.
Ling's team glanced at it, raised the long knife in his hand and swung it down, shouting: "Fire"
The muffled explosion sounded continuously, the white smoke was filled, and the smell of sulfur saltpeter filled the field, the team was immediately shouting "ready", and the students began to clean up the gun pipe in an orderly manner, reload, and it was another round of shooting, and the school field was like a firecracker burst continuously, and the gunpowder smoke was getting thicker and thicker.
Each firearm was fired eight times, and the gun pipe had become hot, but this time it was not necessary to wipe it with a wet thick cloth, so naturally it was natural to wait for it to cool down, there were still many things to do for Zhao Jin over there, and the wooden targets made of thick wooden boards were sent to Zhao Jin for inspection one by one, and there were three or four hits on each target, which seemed to be not high, but the scholars had not taken too many real firearms training, plus the accuracy of the bird gun itself, such a result was already good, looking at the depth of the lead bullet embedded in the wooden target, the armor and chain mail were estimated to be unstoppable.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Zhao Jin said again: "Take a set of your own iron armor, take a complete set of cotton armor, take a look at the armor, and then get ten steps closer and fight again, starting from eighty steps away." ”
Its own iron armor is the kind of armor that is combined with a piece of forged iron plate, as for the cotton armor, needless to say, this is still the militaristic weapon of the Ming Dynasty, but this kind of armor is too thick compared to the iron armor of Zhao Ziying, and the protection ability is not as good as the iron armor, so Zhao Ziying has not used it for a long time, and these cotton armors have never been created in a new style, but they were only the ones seized from Hejiazhuang and Yunshan Temple back then.
This time the shooting is no different from just now, just now out of the fork at this time, for example, because the gun tube is too long, so when using the through strip, you should tilt the bird gun, because the gun tube is too thin, sometimes the angle of the whole bar is not right, just pin it inside, if the team is in a hurry, the students are a little flustered, raise the bird gun and hit the tong bar directly, because of the design many times, the shoulders and arms are sore, and the upper body is not so stable.
Several of the family members who were in charge of training the students were not looking good, thinking that this was a loss of face in front of Zhao Jin, but Zhao Jin didn't have any joy or anger, just watched the shooting actions of the students and the targets sent over every time.
At a distance of eighty steps, not a single lead bullet caused damage to the iron armor of Zhao Ziying, and the damage to the cotton armor was not great, at most it was just to break the thick cloth on the surface and shoot into the first layer of cotton sheets, and there was no change when it was seventy steps, about sixty steps, scratches and white spots began to appear on the iron armor of Zhao Ziying, and the lead bullet began to penetrate the layers of cotton armor, most of which were blocked by the iron leaves embedded in the cotton armor, and a small part directly penetrated the cotton armor. The cotton armor was penetrated, about forty steps, the cotton armor was still penetrated, the embedded iron leaf and the chain mail covered inside could not be blocked, and Zhao Ziying's iron armor had a relatively large depression, but people would not be injured in it.
In the end, the bird gun was approached to twenty steps and fired, the iron armor of Zhao Ziying was handmade, and the iron plate of the chest armor was smashed out by the blacksmith master with a hammer, and it was inevitable that there was an uneven thickness, and it was missed by the bird gun in a weak place, but the lead bullet was embedded in the small hole, but it did not penetrate.
It's just that at this distance, there are less than eight bird guns that fire at the same time each time, not because of the bird guns themselves, but because the students can't keep up, when the body is full, the natural action is standard, the body is stable, and after the body falls, the action begins to be unstable, the body also begins to shake, and the standard movements during training also begin to make mistakes and misses. Everyone was very close, and the lead of several people was also mixed together, and when they picked it up and loaded, there was actually lead bullet that could not be stuffed into the muzzle.
When he saw this scene, Zhao Jin's brows furrowed, and the craftsman steward of the Xu family behind him became more and more worried, not only in his heart, but also the students who were in trouble, and the team in charge of training was also nervous, but from beginning to end, Zhao Jin did not reprimand or be angry.
This also surprised everyone, Zhao Jin has never had any kind cultivation in training, and it is easy to say that if he can't do it, the reprimand and military law are also unambiguous, and he actually has no fire when he shoots with such a bird shot full of mistakes and omissions today.
With the order of "train as usual", everyone can really be sure that Jin Ye really has no intention of pursuing it, but the team members who are responsible for training these students are secretly gritting their teeth, and they will have to train these disgraceful sons and daughters well.
Zhao Jin didn't leave the station of the Xueding team, and directly stopped in a nearby room, only taking Niu Jinbao, Sun Dalin and Meng Zhiqi with three guards, and then called the Xu family steward in.
"You hurry back to the Xu family, say that all the bird gun building will stop now, and then select half of the blacksmiths who make bird guns with the best skills, and let their family move to the vicinity of Hejiazhuang." Zhao Jin said with a calm face.
"Uncle, but if there is anything wrong, the little one must go back and let them correct it, so as to satisfy the uncle's side." The steward of the Xu family said tremblingly
Zhao Jin was a little irritable in his tone, and said in a muffled voice: "Do what I tell you, don't worry about anything else." ”
When Zhao Jin said this, the steward's body shook and hurriedly agreed, and Zhao Jin didn't say much to him, just asked people to hurry back.
"Xiao Meng, put away all the bird guns and let the armory keep them strictly." Zhao Jin commanded, Meng Zhiqi hurriedly agreed, in Zhao Jin's personal escort entourage, Meng Zhiqi is more like a long-term follower, recording orders, and his status in Zhao Zi's camp is quite high.
