Yang Tiansheng agreed respectfully and sighed when he watched the young battalion officer leave. He was a talented young man, and his personal military camp was from Jing'an Fortress. He had a bright future. He was like his own half-way army.

The starting point of the pirates is different. They always feel that the relationship between these miscellaneous brands and the general is far away.

After cheering up, Yang Tiansheng was also a ruthless person and said in a sequel: "When you hear General Chongwu's words, do as you do. If you lose any mistakes, you will not recognize others!"

Several old subordinates shivered and were also ruthless. They each called their troops to roar away. They each had two thick and long Western handguns. Although they were handguns, their power was amazing, and their caliber was roughly the same as that of bird guns.

Yang Tiansheng looked at the backs of Ma Chongwu and the Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry and gritted his teeth. Ma is not good at fighting with me, but I am good at playing with my pistols. I am my grandfather’s generation!

Just drive away without extermination. The Ming army front team who received the order let go and rushed all the way.

Most of the former team's scouts were Taiwanese troops, who were born as pirates. They were just riding but were very good at playing with hand guns. The sound of horse hooves roared thousands of cavalry spread out on the plains in central and southern Myanmar, crushing them all the way. The sound of guns continued and the number of people was very high.

The few Burmese cavalry were beaten up by the beaten people, and they were really unable to resist the crushing of the Ming cavalry.

Ma Chongwu rode on Gao Dazang's horse, raised the thousand-mile mirror and looked for a while, and was surprised.

These pirates riding on horses have very unique combat methods. These pirates' riding skills are not worth mentioning compared to Kaiyuan Soldiers. The two hand guns are amazing. Many people hold them clumsyly in one hand.

The horse was running fast, but his other hand magically completed the medicine and a series of complex loading procedures for loading lead, and one-handed loading. Ma Chongwu asked himself that he could not do it no matter what. This is the ancestor who played guns.

I think so. Kaiyuan people grew up holding horse's neck, but these East China Sea pirates were born with hand guns.

The smoke of gunpowder spread everywhere, and the scout cavalry with the correct marksmanship showed the fierce fangs of the East China Sea pirates.

The man held the horse's neck and aimed with one hand. The sound of the gun was continuous and fifty steps. The ultra-long range of the large pistol was also surprised by Ma Chongwu. Is this still a pistol?

There is still no fuse rope in a pistol. Does flintlock pistol? Ma Chongwu roughly understands this kind of self-produced pistol produced in the West. Without using a fuse rope, it greatly simplifies the complexity of the loading. This is a good thing. I don’t know when the original will be opened.

Only the Iron Cavalry can change his clothes.

The hand crossbow used by Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry is far inferior to the self-produced hand guns used by pirates in terms of range and power.

However, the difficulty lies in the fact that these hand guns were all made by Taiwanese soldiers who were pirates and bought them from Portuguese people. The price was expensive. It doesn’t matter if it was expensive. The problem is that firing a gun and firing a crossbow are two different things. Look at the horse in front of you

The East Pirate running wildly with fangs showing off her fangs.

Ma Chongwu suddenly felt a little inspiration, and the self-generated handgun might be the main combat weapon of Kaiyuan Iron Cavalry in the future.

Ma Chongwu looked at the pirates with accurate guns and suddenly had a whim. In the future, would it be difficult for cavalry who would not fire guns to gain a foothold in the Kaiyuan Army? I'm afraid it would be difficult. A moment of heart moved, Ma Chongwu rushed to catch up with the front team, Yang Tiansheng, the front team.

Holding a thousand-mile mirror, he was driving the Burmese cavalry under his command and rolling all the way to the Burmese camp. General Chongwu asked for two hand guns and praised the soldiers under General Yang.

Yang Tiansheng felt very proud, so he gave him two of his guns to keep them as a souvenir.

Ma Chongwu said thanking with his fists and humbly asked for the use of this kind of hand gun. The roaring sound of the gun covered the sky and the cavalry roared across the impact plains in central and southern Myanmar.

Riverside, main position.

Ma Cheng took a hand gun from Yan Siqi and played with it carefully. It was indeed a self-produced hand gun, and the manufacturing process was very exquisite. It was made in Spain. The self-produced hand gun is not a flintlock rifle, this thing is the rotating wheel of the flintlock rifle.

The firearm was invented by a German watchmaker. The firing device was a rotor similar to the watch structure. This kind of rotor musket appeared a hundred years ago.

Macheng still remembers a classic battle example learned in the military academy. In 1544, Germany fought with France. At that time, the German cavalry equipped with rotors and muskets, while the French army was still equipped with a combroach gun. During the battle, it was suddenly storm and rainy, and the fuse was equipped with a combroach.

The French army with guns could hardly fire a single shot, while the German cavalry, which used rotors as their main weapon, became more and more brave and brave, killing French soldiers to the point of falling. Soon, the French king, who had suffered repeated failures, also hired considerable numbers.

A number of similar cavalrymen, these cavalry are also equipped with rotary wheels and muskets. In this way, rotary wheels and muskets have gradually become the main weapon of cavalry.

However, the rotary musket and the truly mature flintlock rifle are completely two types of structures and two weapons.

His heart was beating wildly, and Ma Cheng suddenly had an idea and remembered another extremely important thing.

Carrying a pistol, he ordered people to find linen and rapeseed oil. This matter that Ma Cheng remembered was extremely important. An American later generations used linen or deer-skin soaked in oil to wrap the projectiles and put them in the mouth of the chamber.

, reduces friction, not only speeds up the filling speed, but also plays a role in holding the air, improves the accuracy and increases the range.

Under Yan Siqi, several confidants began to fiddle with them.

The linen dipped in oil wrapped in lead, slipped into the gun chamber smoothly, making Yan Siqi stunned. With a quick aim, a muffled sound came out of the box and hit the target fifty steps away.

The wood chips splashed, and even tried five shots of Yan Siqi, his lower eyes were almost glaring out. This was amazing!

Ma Cheng was ecstatic. This was the prototype of paper-making and loading bullets. Knowledge is indeed power.

Formulate loading of bullets; so-called paper for loading of bullets is to wrap the bullet and paper or linen soaked with potassium nitrate in the launching of medicine. Because the fire cap is very sensitive, it must be placed carefully and cannot be placed together with the bullets. It is necessary to load the gun before firing.

Tear the bottom of the paper shell, pour the launching medicine from the muzzle into the paper shell, use a strip to stab the bullet into compaction, press down the hammer, place the fire cap on the fire door, aim and pull the trigger.

The commonly referred to as the rate of firing of two to three shots in just a minute at the front gun is referred to this method.

The most important thing is that in an emergency, the entire paper shell can also be stuffed into the gun chamber, installed with a fire cap and fired directly. It is said that during the Civil War in the later years, some people used this loading method to make the front-loading gun reach seven rounds per minute.

The disadvantage is that the rate of fire of the ejection medicine is wrapped in a paper shell, which increases the rate of slow or no ignition, and the residue left after the burning of the paper shell needs to be cleaned frequently. Of course, this is compared with the rate of fire of seven shots per minute.

, not worth mentioning disadvantages.

Just fire bullets on the battlefield, so you don’t have to worry about cleaning and maintenance.

Macheng remembers that the military academy said that Europeans mastered this technology in the 17th century. Until the Qing army's war against Myanmar in the 18th century, there were still frequent problems of guns and bullets slipping from bird guns. Some Qing army

The officers and soldiers themselves made a trick to crush the projectiles with leaves and turf and insects to make it difficult to slip out of the gun chamber. They were actually regarded as a very strange thing in society at that time. This was the consequence of being closed down. (To be continued)
