Chapter 607 The impulse of a young man

Brother Guo Xing did not keep it in hiding, wasting time. He quickly opened the first wooden box, took out a bamboo tube, then took a sharpened wooden stick and inserted it on the ground, and then inserted the bamboo tube at one end of the wooden stick, reaching forty-five degrees with the ground.

After adjusting the orientation, he ignited the fuse.

It turned out that gunpowder and iron sand were already installed in the bamboo tube. With a loud bang, the flames spewed out, and a huge force pushed the iron sand to fly out. The momentum was very terrifying. Within a hundred steps, they were covered by smoke, and people close to them were so fumigated that they coughed.

At present, the Great Zhou army is widely equipped with bed crossbows, and tinder oil and gunpowder are not new, but bed crossbows are expensive, huge and heavy, and have a slow firing rate, which has gradually been complained by the army.

The firearm in front of you made everyone's eyes lit up. Using bamboo as a launch tool will definitely cost you so low that it is a good baby!

Zhao Kuangyin hurried over and was the first to check the results.

When he picked up the bamboo tube, he shook his head. It turned out that the bamboo tube had been blown to break out of a small crack. The bamboo at the tail was pitch black, and there were still many gunpowder residues inside the bamboo tube.

"I'm afraid this thing can only be used once, and it will explode if it is used again. It doesn't hurt others, but instead hurt yourself first." Zhao Kuangyin commented truthfully, but in order to take care of Brother Guo Xing's face, he still said a few good words, "It's cheap and not much money. As long as there is gunpowder, just chop a few pillars and put some sand to hurt the enemy. It's also a good thing... But remember, don't overload the medicine, otherwise it will explode."

After all, he became a person who inspected the fire and had some more things in his stomach. Zhao Kuangyin explained the advantages and disadvantages of the sudden musket clearly and clearly.

Brother Guo Xing smiled. He just listened. When Zhao Da finished speaking, he leaned down, opened the second wooden box, and took out a serious mesh rope gun from it!

Brother Guo Xing made a huge target fifty steps away, and there was no way. The combroach had no accurate head, the target was not big enough, and I don’t know where it would fly.

Brother Guo Xing tore open a pack of gunpowder, poured it into the musket, then pushed it with an iron bar, and after compacting it, he stuffed a lead ball. He pressed the musket against his shoulder, aimed at the front, and then touched the fire door with the lit fuse.

With Mars leaping, a bang!

The gunpowder pushed the lead ball and shot it out quickly, and the target fifty steps away made a muffled sound.

Someone hurried over to observe that the lead balls were embedded in the wood, and it was more than an inch.

This time, Zhao Dada was not calm. Grandma's, it's a bit powerful!

Projectiles are different from bows and arrows.

The front of the bow and arrow is sharp, but the projectile is a ball, and the kinetic energy varies greatly. If it is hit, it is easy to smash bones, damage internal organs, and cause terrible damage.

Fortunately, this thing is not very accurate. It is obvious that Brother Guo Xing aimed in the middle but fell off and landed in the lower right corner, several feet away.

If this is on the battlefield, there will be no one to be there.

Zhao Kuangyin turned around happily and was about to say a few words when he suddenly found Ye Hua standing next to Brother Guo Xing, and also imitating him and making a gun shooting action.

Zhao Kuangyin's mind flashed and suddenly thought of a possibility!

not good!

The guy ran back in fear, blushing and thick neck.

"You are bullying the few with the masses, which is unfair!"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Are you stupid? What's the fairness of the battlefield? The mezzanine must line up and fire together to defeat the enemy!"

Zhao Da's eyes were circling. Although he was not convinced, he had no choice... Suddenly, when he saw that Brother Guo Xing was still using a strip to clean the barrel, he immediately laughed.

"I understand. This mesh gun also has weaknesses, and its firing speed is too slow! As long as you pass the first wave, as long as you rush to the front of you, you will be no longer afraid of anything!"

Brother Guo Xing finally cleared the barrel. He smiled and said, "It's not necessarily true that soldiers can be divided into several rows and fire alternately, and the speed will increase... Besides, I still have this!"

Brother Guo Xing finally opened the third wooden box and took out a guy who was almost exactly the same as the mezzanine from it.

"What's so strange about this?" Zhao Da was puzzled.

Brother Guo Xing smiled slightly. He still packed gunpowder and stuffed it into the projectile like last time. But this time he did not use the fuse, but directly pulled the trigger...

With a crisp sound, the projectile flew out, and it seemed that it was even more lethal than the previous one!

After the demonstration of the three types of firearms, the generals present went crazy after a brief silence, making a big noise, which was even more lively than the vegetable market.

They surrounded Brother Guo Xing, chattering, asking about this and that, they were completely curious babies.

Ye Hua smiled and stepped aside, and the mute man stretched out his thumb at him.

"very nice!"

He was praising Brother Guo Xing... The invention of muskets had long been put on the agenda, but with the strong military strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was enough to sweep across countries. The invention of firearms seemed a bit unnecessary. This was Chai Rong's meaning, and Ye Hua couldn't say anything.

But since Lingnan came back, Chai Rong has changed his views.

The territory he wanted to conquer was still very vast, and the climatic conditions were very different... No matter how powerful the cavalry in the north were in war, when he arrived in Lingnan, he would suffer severe reductions in his staff due to the disagreement of the land and land. When he went to Annan, he would suffer more losses.

In fact, many people do not understand why all dynasties have adopted a policy of gentleness against the barbarians around them. As long as they pay tribute and give some local specialties, they will give back several times. They think that the ancients were all ill in their brains and had the Virgin Mary disease! But in fact, it was not the case at all. Take Chai Rong's campaign against the Southern Han and Annan as an example. Why did he use Zhu Lingyun as the vanguard and drive the surrendered troops to open the way? It was because he was afraid of the climate being unadapted and the loss of elites in vain.

Compared with tens of thousands of soldiers and countless food and supplies, giving back some gold, silver and silk to maintain border peace is a very cost-effective business. Of course, sometimes when you have to fight, you must fight to the death.

In short, for the farming people, it is very costly to expand territory, especially to occupy land that is not suitable for cultivation, which is even more cost-effective.

Therefore, if you want to use troops to the outside world, you must solve many technical problems... The first is to reduce the cost of war. A mature musketeer, as long as he is healthy and trains for one year, can basically be brought to the battlefield. The amount of consumption does not need to be too painful.

Besides, muskets have very strong lethality, no matter whether they are the Khitans in the north or the natives in the south, they are all right.

In a word, muskets are a must-have item for home travel, killing and setting fires!

Brother Guo Xing went to the Champions League a few years ago to participate in musket research.

He was just an audience for the initial raid, and later he was able to discuss design with craftsmen.

By the end of the flintlock, Brother Guo Xing personally created the most critical flint activation device... And when the final shape was finalized, Brother Guo Xing sleeps with a musket every day, and he wants to design the most practical musket!

Finally, not long ago, he learned the knowledge of calculus from Ye Hua, recalculated it, made more exquisite parts, and assembled this flintlock rifle!

The three types of firearms represent the hard work of the Champions League craftsmen in recent years and also marks the beginning of the Great Zhou army into the era of firearms.

After all the generals finished reading it, they were all excited and rushing to get the first batch of equipment. They couldn't wait to replace the brand new equipment.

Another very important thing is that Chai Rong’s forty-year-old birthday next year. His Majesty the Emperor is thinking about clearing the last obstacle next year.

If we want to destroy Shu Kingdom, if we take the opportunity to drive the troops into Dali, the entire southwest will be included in the territory of the Great Zhou!

His Majesty the Emperor was eager to try it out. The arrow was on the string of the battle to destroy Shu. These generals were all hoping to take on the responsibility of leading the troops.

Obviously, the road in Shu is difficult and not suitable for cavalry combat. Whoever can equip muskets will be the vanguard of destroying Shu.

With great credit, how can they not be in a hurry?

Facing the enthusiastic and crazy generals, what else can Brother Guo Xing say? He can only say that he will do his best to arrange the manufacturing and make more muskets before the war begins. As for how to divide it, you can go and find His Majesty!

Finally, after coming out of a bunch of reckless men, Brother Guo Xing was soaked all over and his face was flushed. After several years of hard work, he was finally admitted that Brother Guo Xing was excited and satisfied. He was full of energy, like a shiny and hot little sun.

But in his heart, there was still a trace of regret, Ye Hua knew it clearly.

When he got home, Ye Hua specially called Brother Guo Xing to the study.

"Brother, don't go to class tonight, I want to drink!" Brother Guo Xing made a request with courage.

Ye Hua smiled, and he took out a jar of No. 1 Choi Hong from under the table.

"I've been ready!"

Brother Guo Xing cheered and immediately picked up the wine glass. He couldn't wait to pour a glass and drank it in one sip, but he was choked and coughed constantly.

Ye Hua didn't care about him, but poured himself a cup and drank silently.

In this way, two people drink one cup after another, and gradually Brother Guo Xing got drunk. He sat on the table and said arrogantly: "Good, really happy! I made the musket! Although it was based on my brother's guidance, I put in my efforts. In the future, the muskets made in the Champions League will have a round mark, which is what I requested, a round pot... Brother, what do you think?"

"There is no distinction. In fact, you can leave your name behind. This is how other craftsmen do it."

Brother Guo Xing chuckled and shook his head, "Everyone else can do it, but I can't... For example, I want to use the weapons I made to kill the enemy on the battlefield, like a man, to make achievements! If not, it's not possible!" He kept shaking his head, and the pain that had been suppressed surged out. He was silent for a long time, and hugged Ye Hua's shoulder in a dissatisfaction, and tears came out.

"Brother, I miss you so much as my brother, and I am also a member of the Ye family. If that happens, you can do whatever you want!"

Ye Hua's eyes were red and he hugged Brother Guo Xing's shoulders, "Silly brother, your brother is not doing whatever he wants!" Ye Hua paused and smiled, "But if you want to go to the battlefield, I can help you!"

Brother Guo Xing was happy at first, and immediately shook his head, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I won't make you embarrassed!"
