Chapter 265: The Power of the Three-Eyed Gun! Invincible within fifty steps!
Three-eyed guns!
Similar to the shotgun of later generations, commonly known as the big troll.
Su Yang took the sample made by the firearms craftsman in his hand and subconsciously tried it.
This thing is simple and rough in workmanship, and there is no technical content, so before the national ban on guns in later generations, many people can open a black workshop to make it by themselves, which can be called a must-have product for home travel......
In the Ming Dynasty, the three-eyed gun was more suitable for cavalry combat and naval combat.
Cavalry and firearms are always not matched together, after all, the Great Ming firearms are too inferior and too cumbersome to fire.
You can't let the cavalry charge and light the torch with a torch in one hand and reload it after firing, right?
With the current level of operation of the Ming soldiers, this is something that cannot be done at all.
But the three-eyed gun is different, after a salvo, the cavalry does not need to reload ammunition at all, but directly picks up the three-eyed gun and charges into battle, using it as a hammer, and the effect is surprisingly good!
I just don't know how lethal the product in front of me is.
Su Yang looked around and asked with a smile, "Who is willing to come forward to test the gun?"
When the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion heard this, they immediately raised their hands enthusiastically.
In the end, Su Yang still picked an old acquaintance, Wang Ergou, who performed well.
Under Su Yang's guidance, Wang Ergou picked up some sharp leftovers from under the blacksmith's furnace, stuffed them into three empty round holes with gunpowder, and then tamped and plugged them tightly with a wooden stick, pulled out a lead at the bottom end, and then aimed at the human-shaped straw target erected in the clearing.
Everyone looked at Wang Ergou nervously, not noticing that Su Yang quietly retreated.
Ma Sanbao is a clear-minded person, and when he saw that his son-in-law retreated, he immediately followed.
"Childe, isn't it a little bad for us to be like this?"
"What's bad?" Su Yang replied seriously: "My son is a daughter, what if this thing blows up?"
"After all, it's a new object that has just been created by a craftsman, and there may be some hidden dangers."
Everyone: "???"
Wang Ergou: "???"
it?
Is it so ruthless?
Then you still let the family test the gun?
Be a human being!
Wang Ergou's legs and stomach are almost soft.
"Childe, I'm ......"
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, if something happens to you, your wife will take care of you!"
Wang Ergou's face was almost green, and he was about to say something, but when he heard Su Yang's "ready to shoot", he immediately entered the state, raised his three-eyed gun, and aimed the three muzzles at the humanoid grass target not far away.
Wang Ergou held a torch in his hand, and the moment he lit the fuse, Su Yang covered his ears and turned his head and ran wildly.
Grass, miscalculated, forgot that this inferior gunpowder thundered!
Thundered!
I only heard a shocking sound like the sky was falling, and then a burst of white gunpowder smoke rose, shocking everyone in place!
When the smoke cleared, Wang Ergou, who was holding the three-eyed gun, had been smoked black, and he was stunned in place, as if he had been scared stupid.
After everyone was frightened, Xu Xiang was the first to react, and subconsciously looked at the humanoid straw target not far away.
At a glance, Xu Xiang couldn't help but gasp, and then his face suddenly showed a touch of ecstasy!
In the smoke of gunpowder, the humanoid straw target can be vaguely seen, which has been bombarded to the ground!
Not only were the leather armor and clothes on the target shattered, but even the wooden shelves covered with straw were loose, and countless sharp pieces of iron were embedded in them.
If this hits the enemy, what will be the miserable end for him?
If this is an enemy, whether he is armored or not, he is afraid that he will be shot into a sieve now!
The onlookers of the Shenji Battalion were stunned, and the firearms craftsmen who made the three-eyed gun with their own hands were shocked, and Xu Xiang, Jia Yi and other high-level officials were even more shocked!
Everyone was silent, staring blankly at the humanoid target.
Astound!
Fear!
Afraid!
The terrifying lethality of the Three-Eyed Gun is far beyond their imagination!
After the shock, there is ecstasy!
Xu Xiang trembled and stepped forward, walked to Su Yang's side, and asked in a trembling voice, "Childe, ...... this thing?"
"Invincible within fifty steps, and the range is limited to within fifty steps, it is a melee artifact for soldiers!"
Su Yang was also very satisfied with the lethality of this sample, and replied lightly: "I will order all the craftsmen in Xishan to produce these three-eyed guns with all their might, and give priority to the five thousand soldiers, and then they will have to rely on them in melee combat!"
The appearance of the Three-Eyed Gun just made up for the shortcomings of the Xishan army's lack of lethality.
Now there are the inferior firearms of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in the distance, as well as the bows and arrows of the Xishan army, and the three-eyed guns in close combat, as long as you have a little training, you can put into battle, and the combat power of the Xishan army will be greatly improved!
But when Xu Xiang heard Su Yang's words, he shook his head decisively.
"Childe, in a short period of time, you can't create 5,000 three-eyed guns!"
"Rather than that, it's better to give priority to the three-eyed guns to the three thousand Shenji Battalion soldiers."
"They have long been familiar with the use of firearms, and have long been familiar with the battle formation, so the Shenji battalion can be based on three platoons, each platoon takes turns to shoot non-stop, long-range has standard firearms, and close combat has these three-eyed guns, even if the enemy rushes to the front, with the three-eyed guns, they can form a firepower network within fifty steps, so it is the best choice to hold the defensive line!"
Xu Xiang understood very well that Su Yang's previous arrangement was thinking about the five thousand erlangs.
If you get a weapon like the Three-Eyed Gun, the combat power and security of the Five Thousand Erlang will be greatly improved, but that's all.
On the contrary, it is the most correct choice to give priority to the soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion to be able to exert the true power of the Three-Eyed Gun!
When Su Yang heard this, he glanced at Xu Xiang deeply, but in the end he didn't insist.
Once a general succeeds, ten thousand bones will wither, and casualties on the battlefield will inevitably occur, this is a truth that every general understands.
But Su Yang is not a general, he just doesn't want to see that the soldiers of Xishan have died on the battlefield one after another.
However, if the Ping'an army really came to kill blatantly, how many people could survive in the entire Xishan?
Therefore, Xu Xiang's suggestion is correct and the best choice at the moment.
Su Yang looked at the group of craftsmen and ordered with a serious expression.
"The dangerous situation facing Xishan, you must have heard of it!"
"The Three-Eyed Gun is related to the next battle, and it is even more about your net worth and life!"
"So in the coming days, please work day and night to produce three-eyed guns and gunpowder ammunition!"
"I will transfer 3,000 militia to the workshop, as well as all the workers and ordinary people who wield hammers, and cooperate with you to produce the three-eyed guns!"
"Please don't let Su Yang down!"
Hearing his words, the craftsmen also realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately patted their chests and made a guarantee.
These blacksmiths don't dare to go into battle to kill the enemy, but striking iron is their old profession, and now they have nothing to do!
With Su Yang's order, the entire Xishan was urgently mobilized and fell into a tense busyness.
And the famous general Ping An has led an army to kill in the starry night at this moment, less than twenty miles away from Xishan!
A big war, unavoidable!
