Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Fourth Test Shots

Chen Sheng and Yang Dayan studied the steps of firing the gun together. Gao Jin did not continue to chat with Liu Xun for the time being. Instead, he pulled the deputy Qianhu to explain the secrets of using the gun to everyone, and talked about the various objects needed for the bird gun.

Gao Jin has read both of Grandpa Qi's military books since childhood, but the "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Documentary of Military Training" are very long, and some of the contents are not something you can remember just by thinking about. However, after trying this Lumi gun and talking to Liu Xun for a long time, Gao Jin finally remembered many words from Grandpa Qi about bird guns.

Liu Xun, the deputy Qianhu, and Gao Jin's friends were not very fond of it. After all, the conflict at the city gate was vivid in my mind yesterday. Everyone thought that the deputy Qianhu was a gift. However, the enthusiasm and generous reception of the deputy Qianhu made them look a lot better. However, they just thought that the deputy Qianhu was quite good.

It was not until just now that when Liu Xun used the gun, his movements were flowing and another gun hit the wooden target's chest that everyone felt that this deputy Qianhu was not useless and had some skills. Now, when the deputy Qianhu himself explained the tricks of firing the gun, he listened seriously.

"This gunpowder needs to be pressed tightly, and the projectile must be tightly plugged against the gun body. If there is a leak, then there will be no force!"

Liu Xun did not hide his own privately. Since the Qi family army disappeared, the northern border army did not pay much attention to firearms. Especially for generals like him, they naturally have to be skilled in bows and horses. It would be okay to hunt like him who loves to play bird guns. But if he teaches his subordinates to use guns, they will be laughed at as timid rats who are not doing their jobs.

Of course, the northern border army does not use firearms, but mostly uses three-eyed guns, which only hits the enemy with one shot, and then uses them as maces. Liu Xun, a bird gun who is good at shooting accurately, naturally looks down on the thick and stupid thing like the three-eyed gun, but the Li family army in Liaodong, which is the strongest in the border army, is the best three-eyed gun. This is why the bird guns in the border army have become junk goods at the bottom of the box, and the three-eyed guns are popular.

In order to make good guns, Liu Xun learned to build guns with Sun Dajiang in Camel City. Although he just learned a skill, it would not prevent him from showing off at this time and comparing the structure of the Lumi gun with the ordinary bird gun one by one.

Seeing that his friends were so sensible, Gao Jin was also very happy. As long as everyone was interested in this Lumi gun, he compared the various words of Grandpa Qi towards the bird gun in the "Soldier Training Documentary" he remembered. He felt that the Lumi gun was far better than that of the bird guns equipped by the Qi family army, although the cost was higher than that of the ordinary bird guns, but it was better to use.

Not long after, Liu Xun explained the way to use the gun to make it clear, making it unlike archery. The trick is to not make any mistakes when loading, keep your arms steady when holding the gun, and be calm when firing the gun. As long as you practice carefully for several months, you can shoot accurately; unlike archery, you need years of practice to achieve the same accuracy.

"This dead target is not enough to be able to hit, so let's change the target."

Liu Xun was so excited that he called the servants in the mansion to find some living things such as pigs and sheep to test the guns for Yang Dayan and the others.

The master spoke, and the servants in the martial arts field hurried to find Yang Wufu, the old housekeeper. There were no pigs and sheep in the mansion, so they had to go out to buy it. However, the master was impatient and if it was too late, they would be whipped.

"Aren't there some live chickens and ducks in the kitchen? I'll send them to the master first, and then you can buy a few pigs and sheep outside to come back."

The two servants who came to report to come to the court ordered that they were going to stay at Gao Ye and the others tonight. There must be a lot of appetite for so many heroes who can fight. They were going to kill pigs and sheep, and it was just right to buy them to play guns for the master and the others.

Taking advantage of the fact that the servants of the Liu Mansion went to make a living, Gao Jin told his friends the original words about the bird gun, "Grandpa Qi said, 'Only firearms are my strengths, but the firearms are sick. In this official gun, the mouths are different in size, and the leads are not in the mouth... There are those who can't be put into the mouth, and some are only on the mouth... There are twenty shots of these types... Those who are wet and not burnt have more than forty shots... Those who get the hit are only more than twenty shots... There are legs and horse legs inside, which are not fatal, and they cannot be beaten to death... We are rushing with thousands of enemies, how can we kill more than ten people? Can we make them go? Now, I and you guys have not yet left the door and have not seen the enemy, so we have already lost first.'"

This is the original saying in Grandpa Qi's "Soldier Training Documentary". It means that the bird gun made by the Ming Dynasty officials. Only twenty of the sixty shots can be used, and only ten of them can be hit accurately.

"Second brother, why did Grandpa Qi say that this bird gun is not easy to use..."

Among the partners, some people couldn't help asking. They had seen the power of Liu Xun and Gao Jin's guns before. What Gao Jin said at this time made them confused. "Grandpa Qi is not saying that bird guns are not easy to use, but the official bird guns are not easy to use. Everyone has seen the Lumi guns that Lord Liu just used. They penetrated the wooden boards fifty steps away. This power can hurt the enemy even if it is a hundred steps away. How could it be difficult to use?"

"Do you know that when Grandpa Qi left Ji Liao, he wanted to promote bird guns in the Northern Army and perform martial arts test shooting in the schoolyard. This bird gun hit the target ten times faster than a fast gun and five times more like a bow and arrow, so this bird gun is really a powerful weapon in the army. Now this Lumi gun is better."

Liu Xun was also quite surprised by what Gao Jin said. He did not expect that Gao Jin's ancestors were not only old subordinates of the Qi family army, but also knew "Ji Xiao New Book" and "Soldier Training Documentary", which was a bit difficult.

When Grandpa Qi went out to Jiliao, there was no major war in the border for more than ten years, but he won few battles in a few battles. It was incomparable to the achievements of the Qi family army when they were pacifying Japanese in the south. To put it bluntly, the Northern Army could not listen to it. It was like the bird gun. It was better than the three-eyed guns and the fast guns of the school field, but it was difficult to promote them in the Northern Army. For example, Grandpa Qi's chariot camp warfare technique could only be a fast gun to shoot 50 steps against the enemy. After that, the infantry and the enemy fought hand-to-hand combat. In the end, the Qi family army in Jiliao border town was good at hand and blades, and did not use firearms as well as in the south.

Liu Xun also knew a little about the grudge between the Qi family army and the Northern Army. His great-grandson had gone to Ji Liao to listen to Grandpa Qi's command, and Liu's mansion contained "Ji Xiaoxin Book" and "Soldier Training Documentary". When he was a teenager, he heard his elders tell stories at that time. Grandpa Qi hindered the way for too many people in the Northern Army to make money. If it weren't for Zhang Xianggong's great power at that time, Grandpa Qi would have been unable to sustain it.

But even so, the Northern Army was vaguely resistant. When Grandpa Qi was in charge of Ji Liao, he could rely on the old subordinates of the Qi family army. However, the war in the north was different from the south. The northern plains were wide, and there were more than 10,000 troops. To put it bluntly, the Qi family army only had a few thousand people. When fighting against the Tartars, the other Northern Army did not cooperate. No matter how strong the Qi family army was, it would be a situation of unbeaten. Therefore, the several "victories" of Grandpa Qi when he was in the north were really ugly.

Later, when Mr. Zhang fell, Grandpa Qi was transferred to Guangdong and died of anger. The Qi family army in Ji Liao was dismembered by the court to enrich the nine borders. At that time, the Liu family recruited some old officers and soldiers of the Qi family army as servants, but unfortunately they were all in the Bozhou Rebellion in the end.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be a famous family in the Qi family."

Thinking that Gao Jin's ancestor might be a general with a name in the Qi family army, Liu Xun understood why Gao Jin was so concerned about firearms. The Qi family army was in the south when it was the most glorious. With the bird guns and the mandarin duck formation, they killed the Japanese pirates, defeated the Japanese and swept the sea waves.

"Brother Liu was joking. I am not a descendant of a famous family. It's just that my grandfather was once a soldier of Grandpa Qi, so I was lucky enough to get Grandpa Qi's military book."

"I didn't expect that Ling Zu was actually Grandpa Qi's personal soldier. My brother is indeed a general. I will rely more on you for my brother in the future." Liu Xun took the opportunity to establish a relationship again, "My great-grandson was also under Grandpa Qi's command back then. Later, there were many heroes from the Qi family army in the mansion, but they were all in Bozhou..."

Just as he was talking, the servant of the Liu Mansion who had gone to the previous one brought someone to catch chickens and ducks. Before Liu Xun could attack, he quickly told Liu Wufu's explanation, which made Liu Xun not angry.

"Two brothers, why don't you change the wooden rake? Although this chicken and duck are living creatures, they are too small to fight!"

Liu Xun used to hunt with bird guns, and the pheasant was his favorite prey, but he had to hit only one or two guns in ten guns. Yang Dayan and Chen Sheng both used guns for the first time, and they were afraid they would not hit them at all.

"It's okay, Brother Liu, let them try."

Yang Dayan and Chen Sheng didn't say anything, but Gao Jin knew that they were both arrogant and they both brought living things. Although they were chickens and ducks, they would definitely not want to change to wooden targets.

Soon, the servants of the Liu family hung several chickens and ducks upside down on the wooden pole. Chen Sheng and Yang Dayan started to load gunpowder and then raised the gun to shoot. Both of them were good at shooting and strong arms. They had touched the gun for a long time before, and the sight of the sight of the sight of the gate understood the true meaning.

After two sounds, everyone saw that the chickens and ducks with lead bombs were beaten to death, and they suddenly disappeared, which was much more shocking than hitting the wooden target.

"This makes the gun really different from archery. It's so fucking powerful!"

"Hey, what's this? It's a pity that my turtledove-legged gun is not there, otherwise, if a gun passes, the chicken and duck will be gone."

After hearing Yang Dayan's words, Liu Xun continued, and everyone realized that this Lumi gun was not the most powerful among the muskets. The turtledove-legged gun was longer and the lead bullets used were heavier. It could penetrate three layers of heavy armor and within fifty steps.

After Chen Sheng and Yang Dayan used the gun, they began to teach the remaining companions to fire the gun. For a moment, the sound of fire was constantly coming, and even the air began to smell smoke.

After more than a dozen guns were released, the remaining chickens and ducks escaped, but the two wooden stakes were broken. Looking at the cheerful companions who fired guns, Gao Jin knew that they had accepted the Lumi gun. How could they build the Lumi gun in Hekou Fort next?

When the pig and sheep were delivered, Gao Jin did not ask his friends to continue firing guns. Although these two Lumi guns were excellent, they were afraid that they would explode the barrel after more than a dozen guns were fired. After all, they were all made of black gunpowder, and they were not burned enough, so there must be residues. Even Grandpa Qi's military book said that after the war, it is necessary to clean the barrels to prevent the explosion of the chamber.

"It's a pity that Dajiang Sun didn't have time to build a nine-headed bird for me, otherwise, if the pig and sheep were shot, half of the body would be gone."

When leaving the martial arts field, Liu Xun's words made Yang Dayan and others even shine in their eyes. They guessed that the nine-headed bird must be longer, larger and thicker than the turtledove-legged gun that Liu Xun said, otherwise it would be so powerful.

"Okay, don't think about it. That nine-headed bird must not be a bird gun that can be used by a single person."

"Brother is indeed an expert. This nine-headed bird can only be used by two people!"

Seeing the expressions of Yang Big Eyes Wang Dou and others, Gao Jin knew what they were thinking. Not only did the nine-headed bird Liu Xun say, he also knew that this thing was probably just a gun. When he was a child in his previous life, he had seen the physical objects confiscated at his grandfather's house.
