Chapter 226

"Although the loading is slow, every Jinyiwei Falcon player can be equipped with two self-generated tiger-winged guns. In his spare time, he can load all six gun barrels with ammunition. When using it, he can shoot two guns in a squad, which can hit six shots in a squad." Zhao Peng said with a smile.

Wang Xin stepped forward and asked, "Brother, the bird gun, which is much longer than the tiger-winged short gun, is extremely accurate outside fifty steps. Why can this short gun with only one foot long bench be able to hit 100 shots in fifty steps?"

Zhao Peng raised his face and gave a serious preaching: "Wang Jiangtou, didn't you ask Ben Bo before that the inner walls of ordinary muskets are extremely smooth, why is the inner wall of this tiger-winged gun uneven? This is actually because the self-generated tiger-winged gun is accurately shot. The uneven inner wall is what the Thais call the rifle, so the projectile is called the rifle. The projectile is affected by the reciprocating line in the gun chamber, so after the projectile is out of the bore, it rotates at a high speed to fly towards the target, so the musket can be shot accurately."

The rifled rifle is actually not a novel thing for Europeans. As early as 100 years ago in 1498, Europeans discovered that bullet rotation can improve accuracy and range, so the rifled rifle was born in Europe.

However, when the rifled rifle was just born, Europeans discovered that it was very difficult to load rifle rifle. Because the rifle had resistance, when loading the projectile, you need to use a hammer to knock the through strips and hit the projectiles into the chamber. This way, the loading speed is many times slower than that of the smoothbore rifle. Moreover, the rifled rifle is expensive and it is impossible to equip the army in large quantities.

Therefore, for a long time in Europe, only a few elite gunmen were equipped with rifled guns, which were called light infantry or scattered soldiers, also called hunters. Their mission is not to fight in line, but to perform reconnaissance, harassment, and cold guns. Moreover, because the reloading speed of rifled guns is extremely slow, although the light infantry restrains the battle line infantry, they are extremely afraid of cavalry.

On the European battlefield, scattered soldiers defeated infantry, infantry defeated cavalry, and cavalry defeated scattered soldiers for a long time.

Skies were a very important elite force on the battlefields of the 17th and 18th century, such as German hunters and British green jackets. During the American Revolutionary War, a British green jacket named Ferguson aimed at Washington, but in the end he did not shoot. If this shot killed Washington, there might be no United States.

Why did Ferguson finally choose to shoot, but put down the gun that had already aimed at Washington. The more recognized explanation is that Washington was facing away from Ferguson at that time. As a British Knight, Ferguson would not choose to shoot and kill his enemies with his back to him, because this violates the spirit of the chivalrous.

The reason why Zhao Peng did not choose to manufacture long-pipe rifled guns was that it was also a matter of cost. To produce long-pipe rifled guns, a certain amount of mass production was needed, and the number was small, and the short-pipe rifled guns were not effective. The short-pipe rifled guns were secret weapons equipped for the Falcon Special Operations Team.

Currently, Zhao Peng has 20 Falcon Special Operations members in his hands, and a total of 40 self-generated tiger-winged guns are needed.

The reason why we give priority to the Falcons is to consider that the Falcons' assassination of important figures in the Qing Dynasty can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Zhao Peng personally led seventeen craftsmen. After more than a month of work, all forty self-grown tiger-winged short guns were produced and equipped with twenty Falcon Special Operations team members headed by Wang Quan, each equipped with two.

"Brothers, you must keep in mind the mission of this operation. If you can capture the old thief alive, capture him as much as possible and escort him to Lingchi, Nanjing to be executed! If you cannot, assassinate him and bring his head back will be a great achievement! The old thief is really powerful, and Dashun can't hold on. If this thief is not eliminated as soon as possible, once Dashun is destroyed, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger!" Zhao Peng looked around and said to the twenty Falcon players standing in front of him.

There were a total of twenty Falcon players who performed this mission. Each player was equipped with two self-generated tiger-winged short guns. In addition to the six projectiles loaded in the short gun, they also carried twelve projectiles and gunpowder. However, the projectiles carried on them were basically useless. Once the battle was fought, all six projectiles in the short gun were killed, and there was no chance to load them again.

In addition to the two self-generated tiger-winged short guns, each team member carried four latest fire hat-type hair pulling grenades. Zhao Peng has produced red phosphorus in a small batch. With red phosphorus and glass slag, matches and fire hats can be produced, which has led to the birth of fire hat-type hair pulling grenades.

Compared with the original fuse-ignition grenade and flintlock pull-type grenade, the fire hat pull-type grenade has the best reliability, and it does not have open flames before use, so the target is not easily exposed.

In addition to firearms, the Falcon players also have cold weapons such as daggers and crossbows. However, in order to facilitate movement behind enemy lines, the Falcon players did not carry long weapons. Anyway, they could not confront the Qing army head-on. The agent's mission is to act secretly. Once the matter is exposed and surrounded by the Qing army, their mission will fail.

On the second day of July of the first year of Shaowu, the grain ships transported to Xiangyang were pulled up from the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing to set sail.

Wang Quan and others also boarded the grain transport ship and followed the fleet upstream along the Yangtze River and sailed towards Xiangyang. This time, Wang Quan and his team's destination was the Jinglifu of the Five Qing Provinces in Luoyang, and their target was Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou was indeed powerful. Although the Qing army's frontal attack on Xi'an was frustrated, Hong Chengchou cleverly used the public opinion war and widely publicized that our Qing Dynasty was a righteous king, avenged Emperor Chongzhen, and tried his best to discredit the Dashun regime. He created civil strife in the rear of Li Zicheng, which caused considerable trouble to Li Zicheng.

At the same time, Hong Chengchou also secretly trained a group of nearly 10,000 gods berserkers from behind Dashun through his secret channels.

The cultivation of these gods' berserkers is naturally inseparable from the efforts of Fan Yongdou and others. The Eight Great Masters of Shanxi's merchant property in Shanxi was confiscated by the Dashun regime, which made Fan Yongdou and others hate Li Zicheng, so they secretly contacted the gods in the northwest. Among the slaves of Fan Yongdou and others, there were also many gods among the family slaves. Through these slaves, Fan Yongdou and Hong Chengchou trained a large number of gods' warriors in the rear of Li Zicheng.

The Qing court also obtained the unexploded thunder of the Shun Army. Although they were unable to crack the components of the new type of gunpowder used for the Shin Thunder, they retreated and used granulated Hey gunpowder to fill the Shin Thunder.

Since there is no new gunpowder formula, hey gunpowder can only be used to fill the sky-shaking thunder. The power is definitely far less than the new gunpowder used by the Ming army. Therefore, the volume and weight of the sky-shaking thunder of the Qing army are much larger than those used by the Ming army and sold to the Shun army. Such sky-shaking thunder cannot be thrown by grenadiers at all. The method of use is that in addition to throwing it when defending the city, it is tied to the gods' berserkers and rushed into the enemy's crowd and detonated.

Although this suicide attack method is very clumsy, the berserkers scattered behind Dashun and broken into pieces have caused considerable trouble to the Dashun regime.

An explosion occurred in a barracks today, a fire occurred in a grain warehouse tomorrow, and another yamen exploded the day after tomorrow, which caused unstableness in the rear of the Shun Army.

The Qing army even used some of the gods' berserkers on the front battlefield, and even the berserkers carried the sky-shaking thunder, and rushed into the bastion of the Dashun Army under the protection of the shield cart, detonating the sky-shaking thunder, causing considerable casualties to the Shun Army.

While the Qing Dynasty attacked from the front and harassed the gods behind the gods, some descendants of the civil servants and gentry in the northwest who were defeated were unwilling to accept their failure, they also secretly tried their best to secretly form the Qing Dynasty Returning Group.
