Chapter 298

"This thing is made according to your idea, with a steel plate on the back. In front are three hundred small steel balls, and in the middle is a sandwich charge. The outermost side is a wooden plank, which ensures that the steel balls will be sputtered in one direction. Good people, if they are sprayed with something, their legs will be shot into a sieve. It's like evil when you think about it! The old fisherman handed Li Xiao an iron box, which was made of steel on one side and thin wood on the other.

A thin line was the trigger device for this thing, and Li Xiao dragged it, and it turned out to be a fishing line. Changxing Island has a special fishing team to ensure that the people on the island eat. This type of line is very common and negligibly expensive.

This thing is a good thing, it used to be called an anti-infantry mine. Its power is not to kill or damage the enemy, but to make the enemy's legs injurious and unable to move. A wounded soldier needs far more care than a soldier killed in battle. This anti-infantry mine is more anti-human because it can cause great suffering to the soldiers who are recruited. And it is basically impossible to cure, that is, the best degree of wounded soldiers can only be lifelong disability.

"A philosopher once said that kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself. This thing has less charge than a mine, but more fragments than a mine, and the most important thing is not to kill people. It should be regarded as accumulating virtue! Li Xiao put down the things casually. Picked up another strange thing with a meter long barrel and the same revolver at the end.

This is the rifle that the fishermen have drummed up, since Li Xiao has drummed out the revolver to shoot against the sky. The two old fellows were ready to run on this road until they died.

Li Xiao also can't help it, and the manufacturing of the magazine has always been a problem due to the problem of machining accuracy. In order to ensure continuous launch, there will be no accidents such as jamming. This thing can fire six rounds in a row, and the barrel of the gun up to one meter long can also ensure that the bullets can be safely sent two hundred meters away.

It's just a little good, it's more inconvenient to aim.

In order to ensure the continuity of firepower, Li Xiao had to sacrifice accuracy. Thankfully, Inatomi offers another design that only fires one bullet per load. The structure is similar to the double-barrel shotgun of later generations, with no bolt and only firing pins. After the shot, the barrel needed to be erected and the cartridge case was poured.

The advantage of this design is that it is easy to aim, and the barrel of one and a half meters long can ensure an amazing shooting accuracy within two hundred meters.

Today, Yu Lao is asking Li Xiao to judge which design is better.

"Both guns, one infantry squad with six long-barreled revolvers. Two single-shot rifles, which can take into account the burst fire from a distance of 200 meters, and can maintain a certain density of firepower. In fact, at a distance of about fifty meters, the density of fire is far more important than accuracy. There are a lot of mortars in our army, and usually a wall of fire will be created with mortars from a distance of 400 meters. There are only a limited number of enemy forces that can really threaten the infantry!

Two single-barreled guns per squad can make up for the blind spot of firepower within 200 meters. As for within a hundred meters, it is necessary to rely on these revolvers. Under the three-layer fire net, even if a few enemies rush up, it will not hinder the overall situation. It's really not good, the head and deputy squad leader of the infantry squad, and one more person with a revolver. Within ten or twenty meters, the enemy army was not afraid of even a few people rushing up.

Anyway, this thing has a much faster rate of fire than a breech-loading rifle anyway. Li Xiao really wanted to get Makqin out at once, but reality really didn't allow it. In fact, even if the magazine is built, it is difficult to solve the problem of jamming and throwing shells caused by machining accuracy problems.

"This method is okay, since you said it, then produce according to your requirements. To produce so many guns at once, the production of other weapons has to be stopped. Especially the brass artillery, it was too manpower to cast that thing. ”

Li Xiao raised his hands in favor of the old fisherman's statement, in fact, that thing not only wasted his strength but also cost his mother.

"Regardless of the type of gun, the bullet must be universal. Moreover, the maximum range of the bullet can be shot to 300 meters. The charge does not need to be too large, which reduces the weight of the bullet. In addition, the size of the bullet can be reduced, so that the soldiers can carry more. ”

"That's fine, it's not just bullets. In addition to the barrel, most of the parts of these guns are actually interchangeable. Especially the revolver! "At this point, the fisherman can guarantee it. He was a staunch supporter of the Revolver faction, but Inatomi liked the one-shot design. He felt that the problem of shooting accuracy was higher than the density of firepower.

When I came back from the old fisherman, I saw Xiaoyu pouting. patted Xiaoyu's head, and Li Xiao smiled bitterly. I have to go to war again, and then I have to go back to Shandong. It is estimated that during the Chinese New Year, I may not be able to come back to see Xiaoyu.

took Xiaoyu away, and Li Xiao didn't have that much courage. After all, assassinations are rampant in these years, and Li Xiao himself is better to do it. If the other party attacked Xiaoyu, Li Xiao felt his scalp tingle when he thought about it.

It's better to stay on Changxing Island, after all, there is a regiment stationed here all year round. The residential area is protected by a spy company, and this place is an island environment. It's hard for outsiders to get in!

No matter how unwilling Xiaoyu was, Li Xiao still left Changxing Island in the early morning.

The waves kept lapping against the warship, and Li Xiao had already let Huang Taiji be informed. The two sides set the battlefield on the front line of Tashan and Dahushan. Since you're going to fight, let's start a fight here. Acting for those bigwigs in the court, anyway, it's not far from Jinzhou, and it's convenient to transport food or something. Most importantly, it is close to the coastline. Li Xiao can board the ship and go back to Shandong at any time!

Li Xiao is the governor of Shandong, and this official position Zhu Youzhen did not move very calmly.

The attacking force consisted of Yuan Chonghuan's 1st and 2nd Regiments, and Zu Dashou's 2nd Cavalry Division and two cavalry regiments, responsible for the response of the left and right flanks. It was followed by the artillery regiment, and the rocket launchers of mass destruction were not carried. It's just that he brought mortars to fill the façade, and anyway, Li Xiao didn't plan to really attack Liaoyang and Shenyang. In Tashan, a dozen hits at Dahushan, mortars are enough. What's more, if it's really urgent. There are also naval guns on ships on the surface that can provide fire support!

***************************************************************

Watching the truckloads of food and materials being shipped, Yang Sichang gritted his teeth with hatred. Li Xiao's rudeness to himself at Shanhaiguan, coupled with the lion's big mouth this time, was completely slaughtering pigs in the imperial court. However, the emperor also approved Li Xiao's recital, and the funds of the military department were once again reduced. Everyone has to tighten their belts to get by!

"Princess, you say it's ......! Long live also values Li Xiao too much, and he can't give whatever conditions he proposes. "You can't say this to anyone else, you can only say it to the emperor's henchman Wang Tiqian.

"Huh! I said, Squire-sama, why are you confused? Look at our Daming country, there is Gao Yingxiang's gang in the guanzhong. There are various departments of toast in the southwest, but what about the southeast? Pirates from all walks of life fought on their backs, and from time to time they even came ashore to grab a handful. The one that makes Banzai scratch his head the most is Liaodong!

Since the first emperor, Liaodong has been lost for some years. Although they won and lost each other, the Tartars' forces were still strong. Looking at the Ming army, except for Li Xiao's department, which can be defeated, the other departments are not successful. The threat of the Tartars is too great, and among these forces, only the Tartars' Bingfeng is the closest to the capital.

As long as Li Xiao destroys the Tartars, Long Live can put his mind at ease to Liaodong. When the time comes, let Li Xiao go to the northwest again to quell Gao Yingxiang's rebellion. Or go to the southwest and suppress the restless toasts. ”

"Will Li Xiao go?" Yang Sichang felt that with Li Xiao's arrogance, Wang Tiqian's words were more like a dream.

"Huh! If he doesn't go, he will resist the decree, and the righteousness of heaven is on the side of Banzai. His Li Xiao's popularity will be destroyed by Banzai all of a sudden. Even if Li Xiao is a bull, it will be in vain to lose the hearts of the army and the people.

Besides, most of the soldiers under Li Xiao's command were villagers from Hebei, Shandong. Li Xiao was raised with high profits, and it took several years to reach today's scale. These people are soldiers in Liaodong, and their families are still in the Daming realm. Although Li Xiao was the governor of Shandong, he could not lead the officials of Shandong Province to rebel. The soldiers cared about their families, and there were a few who were really willing to rebel with Li Xiao.

This is also Yang Shilang, when you asked, the old slave had a few more words with you. If someone else asked, the old man would pretend to be deaf and not hear. Therefore, you must not deduct this military ration and salary, and pay it in full. Don't let Li Xiao find any excuse to withdraw from the army, as long as he can eliminate the Tartars and sweep away the barbarians in the northeast of the empire. Even if he wants more, Banzai will pinch his nose and admit it. ”

Wang Tiqian was instructed by Zhu Youzhen, and he was afraid that Yang Sichang would deduct Li Xiao's use privately, so he assigned Wang Tiqian to watch it.

Unexpectedly, Yang Sichang really wanted to do this. If Wang Chengen hadn't rushed here, maybe how much silver would have been embezzled layer by layer.

"Thank you father-in-law for the reminder!" Yang Sichang arched his hand at Wang Tiqian and bowed deeply.

It wasn't Wang Tiqian who reminded him, and Yang Sichang didn't understand it yet. Now I understand, it turns out that the emperor is playing a big game of chess. In this move, the most important thing is that Li Xiao eliminated the Jurchen Tartars in Liaodong. Cut off the threat from the northeast of the capital, and when Li Xiao is victorious, send him to Guanzhong.

After fighting one battle after another, Li Xiao's family foundation can be regarded as hollowed out. For a while, even if he raised his fist and held the silver, no one helped him fight. Yang Sichang firmly believes that the betrayal of relatives is the final fate of Li Xiao.

If Li Xiao doesn't go, it will be even more lively. If the name of resisting the decree is deducted, Li Xiao can be stripped away. Let him no longer have the majesty of the past!
