Chapter Forty-Eight: Firearms in the Battle of Sarhu
"Rush!" One of the prisoners rode on his horse and let out a roar of excitement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Seeing that those damn archers had finally withdrawn, the surrounding Jian Lu didn't care about what these crossbowmen had retreated for, and now they all let out a roar and roar of excitement one by one.
For these Jianlu, who are as fierce as wild wolves, they just fought this nest of bags, which really made them unbearable. You know, just now, almost four or five thousand of their brothers had died at the hands of those damned archers.
Mo said that the wild boar skin standing in the Chinese army and his eight big Baylors were all distressed enough, and these Jianjiao who rushed to the forefront were also full of righteous indignation, and they couldn't wait to kill Gu Xiao alive now! You must know that at this moment, the Jianyu is a soldier for all people, and almost every adult man has to carry a knife and gun into battle.
Therefore, for Jianyu at this moment, the companions around them are not only their robes, but also the brothers who are related to them by blood. At this moment, after being sent away by Gu Xiao's Divine Arm Bow, almost one-tenth of the people and horses were gone, and these surviving Jianjiao were now only left with the thought of revenge.
Gu Xiao looked at Jian Yu, who was rushing closer and closer to him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile, he rarely laughed, and even if he laughed, he almost never really laughed because he was happy, most of the time it was sneering, mocking, and sneering.
Seeing that these Jianyu were all excited because they had removed their crossbowmen, it was already time for them to take revenge, and Gu Xiao couldn't make any other expressions except for laughing.
At this moment, the fire department standing at the forefront of the team is a team of soldiers and horses using firearms.
The firearm in their hands has an almost thunderous reputation among the traversers, and this firearm is called the Minnie Gun!
"Fire! Three-stage shooting! Gu Xiao looked at Jianyu who appeared in front of him. At this moment, a considerable part of the feather arrows shot by those Jianyu could already be shot in front of him, and at this moment, they were still in his ears. A feathered arrow flew over.
Bang! Bang! Bang! ……
There was a crackling sound, and the musketeers who were standing at the forefront immediately began to draw out the ammunition in the barrel after hearing Gu Xiao's order.
As in the process of replacing smoothbore guns with rifled guns, among the early rifled guns. The most famous of all, this Mini gun, was definitely more powerful than any other musket of the original period. There was a crackling sound of gunshots, and the ammunition in the chamber was knocked out at the first time.
Mini bullets were poured on the bodies of these extremely ferocious prisoners, and due to the huge lethality of gunpowder and the terrible sound, in just an instant, there was a commotion in the originally neat ranks of these prisoners. Those originally tame mounts immediately began to lose control in the face of the continuous flashes of fire and loud noises in front of them.
To know. Fear of fire is ingrained in the nature of every animal. Even human beings have truly established their supremacy in the animal kingdom after mastering fire. At this moment, the fire and sound produced by the incessant pouring of this terrible ammunition immediately awakened the instincts of these mounts.
One mount after another began to neigh, and in an instant it was no longer under the control of its owner on its back.
A few of the fierce mounts had even begun to try to run behind in an attempt to get a little farther away from the terrible sight.
Gu Xiao looked at everything that happened in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
As a traverser. How could he have let go of the Minnie guns and Minnie bullets that often appear in time-traveling novels? In fact, when he was at his most unsatisfactory back then, he once had a dream of traveling to the end of the Ming Dynasty to kill the Quartet. Therefore, he has long memorized every production process and process of Minnie guns and Minnie bullets.
It's just that. This dream of crossing has been inexplicably realized when she has given up. At the very beginning, Gu Xiao himself also forgot about the messy knowledge he had in his head, because he went to a world above the martial arts, and these things were really useless. The appearance of this Minny gun was after successfully advancing to the acquired realm. His getting better and better memories reminded him that he still had such a piece of knowledge.
In the past few years, he has finally turned the Minny gun in his mind into a real thing.
He had paid so much to make this Minnie gun and Minnie bullet that almost all the money he spent could be piled up into a small mountain. Therefore, after finally solving the problem of rifling and mini bullets, he made so many mini guns in the first place.
Among them, he didn't know how much money it spent, he only knew that when he formed the four soldiers and horses that almost made him ask for food, the money he spent should be more than one million taels of silver, and at least half of the money was spent on this Mini gun.
However, in Gu Xiao's opinion, it was all worth it.
Because, compared to the now popular Rumi guns and other firearms, this Mini gun is too powerful, because it is not the old-fashioned arquebus, but a flintlock pistol.
The Minnie rifle uses the round-headed cylindrical shell lead bullet invented by Minnie. Since this bullet is slightly smaller than the caliber of the rifle, it solves the embarrassing situation of the old rifle's frontloading bullet that cannot be stuffed into the barrel or clogs the barrel due to the large bullet. Mini bullets can be easily pushed into the chamber with a ram lever. Thus significantly increasing the rate of fire. The bullet is threaded around the body to match the rifling, and the middle of the thread is stuffed with animal oil. The bottom of the bullet uses a cork material. When shooting. Gunpowder gases hit the cork. The cork is suddenly stretched out after an instantaneous impact, because the bullet is stretched. Therefore, at the moment of firing, the bullet itself can be relied on to complete the sealing of the chamber without leaking gunpowder gases and causing the kinetic energy of the bullet to be lost. In this way, the problem of sealing the chamber of the old front-loading gun was solved, and the rate of fire, firing range and safety of the gun were greatly enhanced (a good seal did not easily lead to the residue of gunpowder residue blocking the barrel and causing the chamber to explode).
In Gu Xiao's opinion, if his Mini gun can be equipped with equipment from all over the country, then the Ming Dynasty will continue to do so, and it is also a very simple thing to expand the territory.
It's a pity that he himself knows that this is impossible. He bet that if the craftsmanship of his Mini gun fell into the hands of the idiots in the imperial court, who had their brains full of stones, they would definitely quote the scriptures and swear that the Minny gun was a miraculous skill, and then throw the craftsmanship into the garbage heap without hesitation.
"Ahh ……
On the battlefield, the screams continued to sound one after another, and even though those Jianyu tried their best to fire back, they couldn't help this long-range, powerful, and very safe Minnie gun. With the three-stage shooting control mode, all soldiers are able to get the best preparation time, easily reload the paper-wrapped ammunition into the chamber, and then shoot it.
You know, the power of firearms and bows and arrows is not on the same level at all.
Although the current Jianyu is placed in the Ming Dynasty, which has been largely decayed, almost all of them can get the title of a marksman, but in front of this firearm that is far more powerful than the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow may not have been shot out, the bowstring is no longer usable, and the broken ammunition is flying out, and many times, a person is killed, but it can cause great panic around on the spot.
There are often several people around, all of whom can be affected on the spot, either the same tragic death, or the injury, and the luckier bowstring is cut, which is already good enough!
In the distance, the wild boar skin father and son and others looked at their warriors, who had always fallen into a situation of passive beating, but they were already about to be blown up! At this moment, on the battlefield, the open space in front of Gu Xiao and them was already full of Jianyu's corpses.
After a rough calculation of the wild boar skin, there are almost more than 10,000 dead people now.
And this time, the soldiers and horses of the six flags brought by the wild boar skin, added together, are only about 40,000, that is to say, so far, there has been no official battle between them, and almost a quarter of the soldiers and horses in the army of wild boar skin have been killed in battle.
In the face of this kind of result, how can the wild boar skin, who has only been afraid of Li Chengliang all his life, not be so angry that he will smoke!
"Ahh I'm mad too! "The wild boar skin is riding on a horse, how can he endure this kind of battle situation, and when he roars angrily, he wants to rush out first. When he was about to be angry to death, the wild boar skin finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rush up on the spot.
There was no way, Gu Xiao's musket team had already laid a tight line of death at the front of their army's phalanx, almost seventy or eighty paces ahead, no matter how Jianyu attacked, no one could break through the blockade and come to the front of these musketeers.
Moreover, in the face of these terrible muskets, these captives are almost unable to hold on. At this time, the sense of belonging of the Jianyu to the Aixin Jueluo family was far from being as high as it was later, if it was a smooth battle, it would be okay, but in this situation where the defeat had been determined, most of these Jianyu had retreated, except for the headquarters of the wild boar skin family.
It was precisely seeing this situation that the boar skin wanted to personally lead the charge and boost morale.
"Amma, wait!" Huang Taiji grabbed the wild boar skin that was about to rush out.
The wild boar skin glared at Huang Taiji and shouted: "Old eight! ”
"Amma, look!" Huang Taiji pointed to the sky and gestured.
"Haha, God help me!" When the boar skin looked up, his anger dissipated, and he laughed very happily, completely devoid of the anger that he had just wanted to lead the charge. (To be continued.) )
PS: By the way, don't book friends like to fight? A few days ago, there were more than a dozen monthly passes in the account every day, but in the past two days, there have been many fewer people who reward and vote for monthly tickets every day.
Book friends, don't be too stingy. Since it was written at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was inevitable that there would be a Manchu Qing Dynasty, don't you want to take a good breath of evil?
