The sound of gunshots kept ringing out, which was particularly clear on the school field at this time.
Yan Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji and others observed carefully, and they found that the loading speed, shooting method, etc. of this Shenwei rifle were no different from the standard fusiliers in the army.
As a result, they became curious, how high is the hit rate?
Liu Wenxiu was a little more impatient than them. Instead of watching the shooting of these musketeers, he picked up his telescope and observed the gun target in the distance.
It was okay not to look at it, but when he looked at it, he immediately exclaimed: "Ah... this... this... such a high accuracy!"
Liu Wenxiu was not the kind of careless person in normal times, but at this time, he was so surprised, which immediately shocked Zhou Yuji and Yan Yingyuan.
The two of them immediately picked up the telescope and started looking.
Du Yinxi, who was standing next to him, had actually seen the demonstration of this divine rifle in advance. At this time, he looked at his three generals with great interest. Seeing their shocked expressions, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Because he knows that if this Divine Rifle shocks the generals who have been leading troops all year round, it only means that his judgment is correct: these Divine Rifles will play an unimaginable role in future wars!
At this time, he even began to long for the scene when all the imperial officers and soldiers were equipped with such powerful rifles.
When the time comes, when the imperial officers and soldiers confront the enemy, the imperial officers and soldiers will be able to defeat the enemy, but the enemy will be unable to fight back. They will have already won more than half of the battle before they even fight.
At this time, Du Yinxi didn't know the word "daicha" yet, but after seeing the Shenwei Rifle, he could understand how important the meaning of "daicha" was.
During the time when he was deserting, the "bang bang bang" gunfire finally stopped. At the signal flag, the soldiers on the opposite side quickly came here with gun targets.
Zhou Yuji, Liu Wenxiu and others, regardless of Du Yinxi's presence, reached out for a gun target to check the condition of the warheads.
In fact, they had seen the target hit rate just now through the telescope, which was surprisingly high. What they wanted to see and verify now was the power of this powerful rifle.
Needless to say, they found from the bullet marks that the distance just now was the effective killing range of this powerful rifle.
At this time, the three of them were very shocked. At the same time, Yan Yingyuan still felt a great sense of loss.
With such a long effective killing range and such a high hit rate, this is no longer comparable to that of bows and arrows. Even with a hard bow, few people can do it. However, this kind of divine rifle can be used with a little training.
Do it.
Yan Yingyuan felt a little bitter in his heart. With the popularity of this powerful rifle, the era of muskets has truly arrived!
In fact, it's not just him, Zhou Yuji and Liu Wenxiu are also like this, but they are just slightly better than him.
During their half-life military career, they were familiar with cold weapon combat. Even if there were firearms, they were only part of the army, and relatively speaking, firearms did not play a decisive role.
However, now, they are used to fighting wars. When they see the power of this divine rifle, they already understand that in the future, the world will definitely be dominated by firearms.
In the future, on the battlefield, the hard-earned skills of wielding swords and guns will not be of much use. Maybe in a few decades, we will no longer see various martial arts schools!
Zhou Yuji was thinking this in his mind, but he was also curious, so he asked Du Yinxi: "Sir, this gun looks different from the lead bullet, so why is it so powerful? Is it because of the lead bullet? If so, the military
If they are all equipped with this kind of lead bullet, can all the flintlock rifles currently in the army be turned into divine rifles at once?"
When Du Yinxi heard this, he laughed and immediately reminded: "Look inside the barrel of the gun?"
After being reminded like this, Zhou Yuji and others naturally discovered the rifling, and then naturally became curious. But the key point is that Emperor Chongzhen sent someone to deliver the Divine Rifle to them, but he would not explain this principle to the people below.
At this time, Du Yinxi listened and did not say that he did not know, but said lightly: "This is the science of studying things. If you are interested, you can learn more and you will know why the additional rifling is so magical.
!”
If a knowledgeable person listens to his words, they will be able to tell the fault with his words. The reason why the Kamui rifle becomes more powerful is not only because of its rifling, but also the matching Kamui lead bullets.
But it was enough for Du Yinxi to fool his three generals. Of course, he was also afraid that his three generals would ask questions, so he spoke again: "Corresponding to this Divine Rifle, there is also the Divine Cannon. But currently there is only one
The artillery is still in the capital. It will take some time before some can be transferred to us."
After saying this, he paused and continued: "Your Majesty said that the Shenwei cannon must be equipped with the Navy first, because the Navy needs it more. As for attacking Jianlu and Japanese pirates, the Navy will replace more Hongyi cannons by then.
It can knock them out."
Zhou Yuji and others could think of the range and accuracy of the Shenwei artillery from the Shenwei rifle, and they felt itchy in their hearts. They were a little unconvinced. Why should they equip the navy first? The army also needs such a good thing!
But before they could fight for it, Du Yinxi said with a smile: "Of course, His Majesty considered that there will be a war in the future, so he also gave us some good things. Let's go to the artillery training ground!"
Hearing what he said, the guards on the side brought the war horses. Du Yinxi jumped on the horse vigorously, then lowered his head and looked down at the three generals and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuji and others quickly called the guards to lead the horses. They were a little impatient and wanted to see what kind of artillery it was immediately.
Anyway, they believe that, according to the Governor, even if the artillery is not as good as the Divine Artillery, it is definitely a good thing!
Soon, the group arrived at the artillery training ground.
However, what disappointed Zhou Yuji and the others was that they found that beside the soldiers waiting here, there were only a few artillery pieces with large calibers but relatively short barrels.
Whether it is Zhou Yuji or Liu Wenxiu, they have led troops in battles for a long time. Even if they don't know the principle, they still know that such a large-caliber artillery with a short barrel cannot hit far!
They had just witnessed the range of the Divine Rifle. They originally thought it was an artillery similar to the Divine Rifle, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be this big fat artillery, which made them a little disappointed.
What is this?
Du Yinxi looked at their disappointed looks and said with a smile: "Your Majesty also gave this artillery a name, it's called the Heartless Cannon!"
"..." When Zhou Yuji, Yan Yingyuan, and Liu Wenxiu heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other: Why are you so heartless? Why do you think this name is so weird?
The mighty cannon is easy to understand and very majestic! So what is this heartless cannon?
The three people couldn't figure it out, so they all turned to look at Du Yinxi.
Du Yinxi understood what they meant by looking at him, but the key point was that Du Yinxi didn't know either. He had never demonstrated this kind of heartless artillery.
However, as far as he is concerned, he feels that the name of this artillery should not be the original intention of Emperor Chongzhen. Instead, the divine artillery is the emperor's style. Or to be precise, it is the style of the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, the name of this heartless artillery piece probably comes from the name given by the gods.
Thinking like this, he said calmly: "You have no conscience. It's easy to understand and it means it's powerful. Come on, let's take a look!"
This time, the artillery demonstration came from the soldiers from the Beijing Military War Bureau who escorted this batch of arms.
After Du Yinxi said this, they began to operate.
Just like before, Zhou Yuji and Yan Yingyuan carefully observed the operations of these soldiers.
The shape of this artillery itself makes them a little strange, it is fat and squat, like a short-legged tiger.
Unexpectedly, this artillery gun did not fire iron bullets.
At the beginning, it was nothing. Loading propellant was the same as ordinary artillery.
But then, they saw these soldiers taking out a wooden board. It was really a wooden board, similar in shape to the muzzle of a cannon, and it could just fit in through the muzzle of the cannon.
Then, these soldiers took out another package, which was similar to the shape of the wooden board, or the shape of the muzzle, but slightly smaller and easier to put in. The most special thing was that this package also had a fuse.
.
Seeing this scene, Yan Yingyuan, who is a city defense expert, was surprised. Looking at this package, it seemed a bit like a ten thousand enemy. It should be filled with gunpowder, poisonous drugs, etc., right?
Is this using artillery to throw something like a ten thousand enemy? It seems possible. However, there is no fixed frame outside, and it is still the same package. I don’t say whether it will spray poisonous smoke after being thrown out. Let’s just say that this is not under the city wall.
If you use it, it will be easily wrapped up by the enemy with clothes or other things, and at the same time, you can't attack it later, so it doesn't mean much!
In terms of an enemy of ten thousand people, it is actually not very lethal in itself. The main purpose is to cause confusion to the enemies attacking the city, so that the defenders on top of the city can easily kill the enemies.
Anyway, for Yan Yingyuan, it was a bit confusing.
Zhou Yuji and Liu Wenxiu are actually similar. They can't see how powerful this so-called heartless cannon can be!
After experiencing the baptism of the Divine Rifle, they were all a little disappointed at this time.
After the artillery soldiers put in the planks, they put in the package, and the fuse was exposed a little at the muzzle, and then asked Du Yinxi for orders to see if it could start?
Du Yinxi was not disappointed, because he knew that if it was not a powerful good thing, the emperor would not send someone to deliver it. Not to mention, it might have something to do with the fairy world.
