Matchlock Gun
Chapter 821:Matchlock Gun
The fire rope gun, which spans the times, is so easily created by a group of craftsmen's apprentices.
This is a bit of a problem for Yang 7 to accept.
Yang Qi carefully groped the fire rope gun in his hand, feeling a little unreal.
He had carefully checked it a dozen times, and he could be sure that it was a fire rope gun that could be used normally.
In fact, Yang Qi was shocked because he forgot two things.
The first is the manufacturing process of the fire rope gun, in fact, it is not difficult, there is no way to compare with many traditional processes.
Then there is the power of the craftsmen.
These craftsmen who have seen sketches for most of their lives can still recover many complex ancient craftsmanship through many sketches.
Now there are precision drawings in front, how can they not make this thing?
For craftsmen, the only difficulty of the fire rope gun should be the use of materials.
However, as early as the time of their cast guns, new alloys have been developed enough to cope with fire rope guns.
This problem is also easily solved.
“Isn’t that thing?”
Looking at Yang's face excited, Tang Gong went up to ask.
Yang Qi loved holding a fire rope gun and nodded heavily, “This is this thing, that’s right...”
The twilight and the craftsmen looked at each other and laughed.
Then he saw Tang Gong rubbing his hands and saying, “Can your majesty teach us to draw tricks?”
Yang Qi clasped the pyrotechmeous rope gun and said, “Can I try the gun first?”
Tang Gong anxiously said: "Now can't try, this thing also needs small iron beads, twilight rope, gunpowder... let's draw first, let the apprentices prepare things for you..."
Tang Gongsheng pulled Yang Qi to teach them to draw pictures.
Yang Qiqiang could not but them, so he could only carry the fire rope gun back to the room to teach them to draw pictures.
A group of old craftsmen did a lifetime of fine work, and they were quick to master the art of drawing.
Yang Qi pressed the impulse to try the gun and patiently taught them to draw the art.
Just an afternoon time.
These craftsmen have the art of drawing.
One by one, I learned half a bucket of water, and began to brag excitedly, saying that I would be a book for craftsmen in the future, and the ancestral skills were all included and passed on to future generations.
7 is very pleased with this idea.
While teaching their skills, they were also told that there were drawings of things such as fire rope guns, artillery, etc., which could never be exposed, and could no longer be passed on to others without permission.
The craftsmen, under the guidance of Tang Gong, swearing and swearing, and never passing on.
The craftsmen painted until late in the evening, and one by one they left contentedly, and told Yang Qi that they would come back tomorrow.
Yang Qi sent them away, and immediately tried the gun with a fire rope gun, gunpowder, a twig, and an iron bead.
He is impatient.
The three-door village was built by the old Yang when he first resisted the Liao people.
Today, it has been transformed into an arsenal, and many original buildings are still preserved.
For example, the watchtoop at the highest place of the stockade is still preserved.
Yang Qi took a musket and went to the watchtobe.
After impatient loading gunpowder and iron bullets, Yang Qi slowly raised his gun and aimed at the sunset that was about to fall.
As the first shot in the world, you always have to fight a little bit.
Shooting the sky and shooting the air is far from the pain of shooting the sun.
Targeted!
“Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Three breaths, Yang Qi gave up the intention of shooting day.
The sunset is infinitely good, but Yang Qi did not have the eyes of the back of the pair, just stared at three breaths, he saw things more than a layer of shadow.
Hesitating again and again, Yang Qi decided that it was better to kill the sacrificial gun.
Looking down in the mountain forest at his feet, he found a hare scrambled around.
Yang 7 is happy in his heart.
He put his gun up again and nervously aimed at the hare.
“Rest in the breath”
Take a deep breath a few times and look for the head.
Peng Huan also took a deep breath.
Hold the trigger and grind the hand.
The fire is burning.
“Shhh!”
A loud explosion.
There was a spark in the barrel.
The iron beads deep in the barrel of the rapid riot shot out.
under the watchtower.
A small hole was broken in the trees next to the hare.
On the stage, the two of you looked forward to the lookout.
The little rabbit next to the big tree under the stage fled when the gunshot sounded, plunged into the grass next to it, and when it calmed down, it quietly poked out its head.
Feeling no danger, it raised its small head and glanced at the two gentlemen on the watchtoop.
Then he swung his big ass and disappeared into the woods.
Yang's face was embarrassed to withdraw his eyes.
Peng Xiang also withdrew his eyes with embarrassment.
When Peng's eyes were projected on the fire rope gun in Yang Qi's hand, his face was strange.
Yang Qi felt Peng Huan strange eyes, he looked down at his hand, the expression on his face was even more embarrassed.
It turned out that because he was too nervous just now, after the gunshot, subconsciously grasped the gun in his hand.
With the strength of Yang Qi, who is comparable to the monster, he can imagine what the gun has become.
The gun of the fire rope gun was severely beaten by Yang Qi.
Yang Qi looked embarrassed to take back the fire rope gun in his hand, and said lightly: "The quality is too poor, need to be improved."
Peng Huan pretended to believe Yang Qi's explanation, and then proposed: "Your Majesty, your subordinates just saw you hit the tree, let's go down and look at it?"
“All right!”
Yang 7 nods his head in response to Peng's request.
Although the gun method is poor, did not hit the rabbit, but hit the big tree, the same can test the power of the fire rope gun.
The two of them went down to the top of the tree.
There is a hole in the big tree, there is an iron bead in the hole, and the iron beads are more than an inch into the wood.
Peng Xiang was surprised and said, “This little thing has so much power...”
Yang 7 slowly nodded, “That’s natural...”
Peng Huan awkwardly whispered: "But his subordinates feel that the use of this thing is also general."A good archer, with a bow and arrow, can also shoot such an effect.The subordinates do not understand why your majesty made this thing.”
Yang Qi did not explain too much, just glanced at Peng Xiang, "to inform Tang Gong, tomorrow let people make ten more fire rope guns out."He was also given ten leather coats, three irons and thirty pieces of paper.”
“The subordinates still think...”
“Not going fast?”
Peng Huan also wanted to express his feelings, but after hearing Yang Qi's unquestionable voice, he answered obediently and ran to find Tang Gong.
The next day.
Early morning.
After eating.
Tang Gong and others took three A's to Yang Qi's residence.
Tang Gong and others wanted to continue to pull Yang Qi to learn the art of drawing, but they were rejected by Yang Qi.
Yang Qiyi said to them, "You practice yourself first, I will try the gun."
After playing the soup and others.
Yang Qi let Peng Huan put three wooden people in the yard.
They put armor on the wooden man and began to test the gun.
Suddenly, the gunfire was heavy in the courtyard of Yang Qi's residence.
The sound of the clamor is endless.
The sound was like thunder, and the people in the village came to watch.
Even Tang Gong, who painted the pictures in the room, also left the drawings to watch.
Three wooden people, with three kinds of armor on their bodies, allowed Yang Qi to shoot.
The wooden man wearing leather armor was easily pierced by the fire rope gun in Yang Qi's hand, and the iron bullets were also embedded among the wooden people.
The wooden man wearing an iron armor was still easily shot out of a hole by the fire rope gun in Yang Qi's hand.
Some people may think that iron armor can be broken by a fire rope gun, because they do not understand the structure of iron armor.
Most of the iron armor is mainly squamous, and the armor is only a minority.
Lock armor production and maintenance is cumbersome, so it is not possible to form a large number of equipment.
And the scale can defend against the sword and sword, and even some arrows, but it can not really defend against all arrows.
Some rapid arrows can still be pierced through scales, and some heavy crossbars can also be pierced.
This is why many ancient generals, wearing armor, still die with arrows.
It is not that these arrows and arrows can shoot through the iron scales, but after they are shot at the scales, the huge penetration will cause the scales to wave, so that they will create gaps and be drilled into them.
When Yang Qi tested three iron armor, Peng's eyes were almost glaring out.
He also understood the purpose of the gun.
Seeing Yang Qi's easy use, Peng Huan can judge that the requirements for the use of fire rope guns are not high, and they do not know the bows and crossbows in the army, and they need to be carefully selected.
Any soldier can be used for a short period of training.
And the fire rope gun can easily penetrate the leather armour, scales.
That's even more terrible.
As long as the fire rope gun is widely equipped.
It is equivalent to the soldiers all become sharpshooters.
What effect a group of sharpshooters will have on the battlefield, Peng Huan, who has experienced the battlefield, is very clear.
Addition of artillery, shock mines, earth mines, explosive packs and so on.
The enemy did not come near at all, and the seven hundred and eighty-one that had been destroyed had been destroyed.
The remaining three cats are not enough to cut.
And the enemy is not close to the large-scale loss of soldiers, and their morale is also very influential.
This is likely to lead to a large-scale surrender.
After testing the iron armor and leather armor, Yang Qi tested the paper armor again.
On the contrary, the defense of paper armor against the fire rope gun is higher.
Yang Qi shot three shots on paper, only one hole through, and the remaining two were stuck.
(Popular science: this is not the author in the bragging, full of clear after entering the customs, a large number of equipment cotton armor, and inlaid in the cotton nails, in order to defend the musket.)Cotton and paper armor have the same work.)
Paper armor, although there is a certain defense against the gun.
However, the main enemy of Yanguo, the Liao Army, cannot be equipped, and the Song Army has only a small amount of military and horse equipment, and they rely more on their own step armor.
The enemy does not yet know the existence of the gun.
By the time they knew the pyrotechum and came up with a solution, I was afraid it would have been a few years.
At that time, Yang Qi estimated that the fire rope gun had been replaced.
The gun is also expected to come out.
The process of the gun is not much more difficult than the fire rope gun.
It is only a higher demand for materials.
After testing the armor, Yang Qi began to test the range again.
After more than 30 rounds of testing, the final range of the fire rope gun was also measured by Yang Qi.
Between 40 and 80 feet.
Although it can not reach the perverted range of heavy crossbow, bed crossbow, and eight cattle, it has far exceeded the general bow and arrow.
Peng Yu was already speechless.
He looked at Yang Qi’s unrelenting play with the fire rope gun in his hand and said in amazement: “Your Majesty, if this thing can be equipped with the whole army... Wouldn’t it be invincible in the world...”
Yang Qi groped the fire rope gun in his hand and smiled faintly: "equip the whole army?"Impossible.Although this thing is tough, it can not be too much to think that it is very powerful after equipping the whole army.
If you take it against the Iron Horse, you will have nothing to do with it.
Above all, its range, the time it has taken to fill the ammunition, has determined that it cannot be a real battleground matter yet.”
According to the historical book, in the morning, the fire rope gun has been very popular.
There are basically all the troops, and there are artillery.
But even so, it is still invincible in the face of the cavalry.
Even during World War I and World War II, the cavalry figure was still active on the battlefield.
Unless Yang Qi can get tanks, armored vehicles, machine guns, aircraft, artillery.
However, the current process cannot be reached.
Peng Xiang carefully recalled the scene of the fire rope gun against the battle cavalry, and nodded regretfully: "80 feet away, if the light cavalry charge, it takes six breaths."Six breaths were not enough to fill the soldiers with ammunition.You really can’t fight the war.”
Yang Qi smiled: "Don't be discouraged, now we are the defenders, Song Liao two countries are the attacking party, with this weapon, coupled with the benefits of the wall, we can suppress them."
And, although we can't dominate the battlefield now, we will do it sooner or later as long as we try to move forward.
Even if we can’t, we have grandchildren.
One day, this world, will eventually be my son."
Peng nodded his head heavily.
However, just as the two gentlemen spoke, Tang Gong, who had been watching the fire rope gun shooting behind them, was also whispering.
"Tang Gong, your majesty hit the thunder, tap a tortoax, fill the ammunition, and have to clean the tube, I always feel very time-consuming, there is a little bit..."
“Anything more?”
“A little bit of a fool...”
"We think so too."
“So... are you all tired of it?I think it’s a bit...but I can’t say it.He is His Majesty!If the broken mouth had passed it into His Majesty's ear, we would have had to finish."
"Tang Gong, in fact, I think, your majesty always fights once, light a fire, and wait so long, too much trouble..."
“Old man, do you have an idea?”
"Tong Gong, gunpowder that thing, can be ignited with Mars."“See if we can replace that thrash with a thrash?”
"And there are ... old Wu head, Tang Gong, I think, can find a way to pick up the gunpowder filled in the barrel, so as to avoid frequent cleaning?"
“...”
A group of craftsmen, this brain hole opened.
One by one, they are planning.
As a craftsman, especially a skilled craftsman, naturally likes to strive for excellence.
And Yang Qian also encouraged them to innovate.
And Yang 7 also attaches importance to the fire rope gun.
If they can transform the musket, it will make the gun more convenient to use.
Perhaps Yang Qi can also reward their children and grandchildren with a name, or a half official position.
And Yang Qi has never been lacking for the money given to the makers of innovation.
When the craftsmen talked in a whisper, Yang Qi did not know.
He didn’t know, he just took the lead.
The craftsmen have begun to help him come up with the second, third, and fourth steps...
The craftsmen now need time to experiment with their ideas.
When they were successful, it was time to surprise Yang.
