Chapter 725 0720 [This is also called mounted shooting](2/2)
The musket seemed to fire again and again.
Finally, the cost of a flintlock gun is higher than that of a matchlock gun.
The real significance of the flintlock gun is that it can increase the rate of fire and can also be arranged in a dense formation.
Matchlock guns cannot be arranged in a dense formation. Firstly, they can easily explode and accidentally injure others. Secondly, they may ignite friendly matchlocks. This results in three-stage firing of the matchlock guns, which cannot effectively cover the battlefield. Six rows of rounds are required to achieve the effect.
In addition to the three-shot advantage of the flintlock gun, it can also be equipped with a bayonet and use hollow formations to deal with cavalry, which is also something that the matchlock gun cannot do.
Ju Ming also thought about building and installing a flintlock musket, but he lacked mechanical knowledge and could not solve the air tightness problem for the time being, which could easily cause the musketeer to be burned all over his face.
Wanyan Zongfu returned to the audience and said sincerely: "The sharpness of firearms is unparalleled, and no one can defeat it without personal bravery."
Wanyan Xiyin said: "So it is more important to negotiate a peace, reduce the number of troops and clear out the Yelv Stone first, and quell the civil unrest that often arises in the country. We should also encourage farming to hoard food and grass, and let Dajin craftsmen also imitate firearms. Only when internal and external troubles are solved, can we
Only by fighting firearms against firearms can we stop the front of the Ming army."
Wanyan Zongfu said worriedly: "The military power of the Ming Dynasty is so strong that peace talks may not be possible. Even if the peace talks succeed, Prince Zhu's asking price will not be low."
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Let's stabilize everything first. We have lost troops and generals in the past two years, so we can't continue to suffer defeats. I heard that the east and west armies are frightened when they see the Ming army. Even the generals are unwilling to face them.
Regarding firearms. In the past, they would charge to the death even if they were facing a mountain of swords and fire. Now when they encounter the Ming army, they all look forward and backward, for fear that they will be eaten by artillery shells if they charge forward."
Wanyan Zongfu turned to look at the auditorium next door. The Ming Prince was returning to his seat with a flintlock gun. He even handed the gun to the princess beside him, and the concubines watched.
For a moment, Wanyan Zongfu also wanted to transform into a princess and hold the flintlock gun in his hand to observe.
