032, the big threat!
found a big tree in the forest, Chang Wei slapped it down with one palm, intercepted a piece of wooden stake that was about a foot long, carried it to the outside of the forest, and planted it in the ground as a target.
After setting up the target, he opened the wooden box again, took out a breastplate-style steel plate, hung it on the target, and said to Huang Rong with a smile: "This steel plate is a cuirass made by me. Rong'er, you can try its color. ”
Huang Rong stood three zhang away, and after improving her skills recently, she finally practiced a little bit of "snapping fingers", and popped out a stone with her fingers, hitting the steel plate, making a crisp sound on the ground, and splashing a few sparks.
If you look closely, you can see that the steel plate is not dented at all, only a slight scratch.
"This steel plate is really hard!" Huang Rong nodded slightly, and said to Mei Chaofeng again: "Mei Ruohua, you try it with the Nine Yin White Bone Claw." ”
Mei Chaofeng stepped forward as he said, picked up the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and grabbed it on the steel plate with one claw.
Chirping......
In the harsh friction sound, Mei Chaofeng's five fingers that pierced the skull only scratched five scratches on the steel plate, and his short dagger-like tough nails were smoothed out in half.
"Good armor!" Mei Chaofeng was also sincerely amazed.
"This cuirass plate made by my own hands is sturdy, and at the same thickness, it is definitely the first in the world. However, this piece of armor could not stop the musket that was also made by me. Come on, let's try the gun. ”
He called Huang Rong to his side, first took out the ammunition from the wooden box, then stood the spear upright in front of him, and then explained the loading steps to Huang Rong one by one while loading the ammunition.
After loading the ammunition and slamming it twice with a strip, Chang Wei took the spear in his hand, retreated to twenty zhang away, pulled off the dragon's head, and aimed it at the deck.
"Rong'er, look at it!"
As he spoke, Chang Wei had finished aiming, pulled the trigger, and only heard a bang, which startled Huang Rong. Mei Chaofeng, who has extremely keen hearing, instinctively covered her ears and frowned.
Chang Wei put down the gun and asked Huang Rong with a smile: "Rong'er, have you seen the projectile clearly?" ”
Huang Rong shook her head: "No." ”
Chang Wei asked Mei Chaofeng again: "Mei Chaofeng, did you hear the sound of the projectile breaking through the air?" ”
Mei Chaofeng smiled bitterly: "My ears were buzzing because of that loud noise, how could I still hear the sound of breaking the air?" ”
Chang Wei laughed: "Let's go, let's go see the target." ”
Huang Rong followed him to the target to take a look, only to see that there was an extra thumb-thick hole on the seemingly indestructible steel plate. Around the hole, there is also a large depression.
She took off the steel plate, turned it over and looked at it, only to see that the back of the steel plate, around the holes, steel thorns, like blooming flowers. Looking at the wooden stake again, I saw that there were many small holes in the place where the projectile hit, and it was the projectile that broke through the steel plate, and after it was broken, the fragments still had more than enough strength to enter the wood!
"That's amazing!" Huang Rong's beautiful eyes were full of shock: "Twenty zhang away, the hole pierces through the steel plate, and the remaining strength can still enter the wood...... The stones that my father popped out with his fingers were far less powerful! No wonder Brother Chang Wei said that even the Five Peerless Grandmasters, even your Dragon Yin Iron Cloth Shirt, can't stop the blow of this weapon. ”
Huang Yaoshi's magic powers, within ten zhang, are as powerful as a strong crossbow, and can easily penetrate any bone in the human body. But at a distance of twenty zhang, there is no such power in the snap of a finger.
Huang Rong knew what Chang Wei had just said, Huang Yaoshi's magic powers, the power of this weapon in a short distance was really humble, and it also saved some face for Huang Yaoshi.
The truth of the matter is that Huang Yaoshi's magic powers, both in range and power, are inferior to this spear.
The only advantage is that the magic power can be fired instantaneously and continuously, and the loading steps of this machine weapon are too cumbersome, much slower than the bow and crossbow, and the efficiency is a bit low.
However, this flintlock musket also has a great advantage, that is, the projectile it fires, which is not clear at all.
Unlike the arrows shot by the strong bow and crossbow, the master can dodge and parry, even if he accidentally hits the last arrow, as long as it is not critical, it will not seriously affect the battle.
But the projectile of this flintlock musket is simply undodgable and unstoppable. And look at the power of its piercing through the steel plate, a blow in any part, I am afraid that no one will be able to fight anymore.
"Blind men" like Ke Zhenwei and Mei Chaofeng, who have keen hearing and can pick up hidden weapons, are even more tragic when faced with flintlock muskets. Because when the flintlock muskets fired projectiles, the sound was deafening, and their hearing was directly wasted. Even when the projectile broke through the air, there was a very slight creature, and it was impossible for them to hear it.
When he was amazed, Chang Wei said again: "Rong'er, let's try these two short guns again." This time, you also put a shot. ”
As he spoke, he handed Huang Rong a short gun and took ammunition for her.
Huang Rong took the short gun, recalled the loading steps demonstrated and explained by Chang Wei just now, and looked at Chang Wei's loading short gun again, and soon knew it in his chest, and loaded the ammunition with a slightly rusty, but not clumsy method.
Seeing her loaded with ammunition, Chang Wei smiled and said: "These three long and short guns are all heavy muskets that I have carefully built, the gunpowder is also carefully prepared, and the projectiles have also been carefully polished, and all the details have been refined, so the range, accuracy, and power are extraordinary." However, the barrel of the short gun is too short after all, and the accuracy is far inferior to that of the long gun. So we have to test the gun at about ten zhang. ”
As he spoke, he took out two identical steel plates from the wooden box, hung them on the stakes, and took Huang Rong to ten zhang away, first taught Huang Rong how to aim, and then fired a shot with Huang Rong each.
After finishing and leaning over to look at the target, I saw that the two steel plates had been easily penetrated, and the traces of destruction at the point of the bullet were as shocking as a spear.
Fingers caressing the broken part of the steel plate, Huang Rong was amazed, and after a little thought, she knew the horror of this machine weapon:
"An archer has to train for several years, and a crossbowman has to train for a long time. What's more, strong archers have high requirements for height and arm strength, while crossbowmen have slightly lower physical requirements than archers, but they must also be strong and courageous.
"But the flintlock musket is a machine weapon, and those who have a slightly more flexible brain can learn to use it in half an hour. It's a stupid person, and you can learn it after a few days of hard work. And this gun can be used by everyone regardless of women and children...... If such weapons are popularized, what is the use of practicing martial arts? Not even a master like my father can compete head-on with dozens or hundreds of flintlock muskets! ”
As soon as she thought of this, Huang Rong hurriedly grabbed Chang Wei's arm and said, "Brother Chang Wei, have outsiders seen the drawings of your flintlock musket?" The master in the blacksmith shop, can he know how to make this gun? ”
She herself is generally interested in martial arts, but on the contrary, she is more interested in the flintlock musket, a machine weapon, and is not bothered by the fact that the musket poses a serious threat to the warriors.
It's just that her father, Huang Yaoshi, has always been proud of his top five martial arts attainments in the world, and she doesn't want her father's peerless martial arts to become overshadowed after the large-scale application of muskets.
