Selling jars in Xueyue City, Li Hanyi comes to visit

"General, it's the general who is coming! Brothers, work harder, we can't lose this time, we must let the boys on the other side turn their backs!"

"You think beautifully, how can we lose in front of the general! Brothers, give the guys on the other side a little color!"

On the martial arts arena in the North Starling Palace, it is now a hot scene.

The martial arts arena was all the pro-army stationed in the Northern Starling Palace.

During the period of the change of guards, these pro-troops are conducting training in the exercise ground.

The most striking thing is the tug-of-war that is unfolding.

Several iron cables lay across the field, and the soldiers on both sides of each iron cable did not give an inch and fought hard.

Because of the arrival of the general, for a while, one by one was like being beaten with chicken blood, and the shouts shook the sky, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Not long after, Xu Xiao and his party came to the shooting range.

Xu Weixiong: "Cao Wei, take your four-eyed fire hammer - let's try it." "

Soon, Cao Wei stepped forward with a three-foot-long firearm.

The front end of the firearm is a combination of four bamboo-shaped single guns, each with a small hole on the outside of the tube.

Cao Wei skillfully added gunpowder to the gun pipe and filled it with steel balls.

Then add the arquebus to the holes.

Bang, bang, bang, bang~

Four explosions rang out one after the other.

Smoke and fire erupted from the pipe.

One after another shot out of the steel balls.

"This firebolt is quite special, I remember seeing the firecracker before, and they can only shoot once at a time. "

"Don't mention it, I've used that thing, it's a lot of trouble, I have to reload gunpowder, put steel balls, and set fire ropes after every shot.

If you use that kind of single-shot firearm on the battlefield, you can die in a hurry. "

"Then this firearm developed by the Machinery Bureau this time is a little interesting, it seems that it can be put in four copies at once in advance, and then it can be fired four times in a row. "

"It's a lot better than the previous single-shot firecracker, and it seems that the range and power are also greater. "

The movement on the shooting range attracted the attention of many pro-soldiers for a while, and there were many discussions.

After watching Cao Wei's presentation.

Xu Weixiong bowed his head and said, "This four-eyed fire gun has made a lot of progress in terms of rate of fire, range, and even power. "

With Xu Weixiong's approval, Cao Wei couldn't hide his joy and said: "The performance of the four-eyed fire gun in the actual test, foot combat can break the armor at fifty steps, and it can also severely damage the target without armor at a hundred paces. "

Xu Weixiong nodded.

That's a lot of progress.

You must know that among the major dynasties, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty are the most advanced.

The Northern Starling Army also spent a lot of effort to get the Three-Eyed Fire Gun from the Ming Dynasty.

Three-eyed firebolt, foot combat can break armor between twenty and thirty steps.

Fifty paces away, can inflict heavy damage on unarmored targets.

In this way, the four-eyed firearm developed by Cao Wei is twice as powerful as the three-eyed firearm of the Ming Dynasty.

"Cao Wei, the four-eyed firearm developed this time has made great progress, but it would be better if you put all this energy into the research and development of the arbalest. "

"Yes, although the Four-Eyed Firebolt can be loaded with four guns at once in advance, it can be reloaded after one reload, and it will take four times as long as the single-Eyed Firebolt.

In this way, the advantages of other shots, except for the first shot, are not obvious. "

"Our Northern Starling Army has always been known for its crossbows, so I don't think there's any need for us to develop this kind of firecracker.

Our crossbow is stronger than all the firecrackers in the world, so why waste time and energy on firearms. "

Most of the people in the Machinery Bureau are not optimistic about the further research and development of the firecracker.

Xu Weixiong didn't say much.

Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man with a clear face, "Master Yang, show me our latest crossbow." "

Master Yang bowed down to receive the order.

After a while, he brought the two crossbows.

Yang Fuzi pointed to one of the crossbows and said, "This crossbow is called the Meteor Crossbow, and it is a crossbow that is known for its rate of fire. "

As Yang Fuzi spoke, he picked up the meteor crossbow.

Stand two hundred steps away from the target and shoot at the target.

Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~

With the sound of breaking through the air, crossbow arrows shot out.

"The rate of fire of this crossbow is so fast! it's a lot faster than the one we have now!"

"That's nature, this is obviously a newly developed crossbow, and it must be getting more and more powerful. "

"I really hope that this kind of crossbow can be equipped earlier, with this kind of crossbow with a rate of fire, see how the Northern Mangmang can parry. "

Xu Weixiong nodded and said: "The arrow goes like a meteor landing, and the rate of fire of this powerful crossbow is worthy of the name of the meteor crossbow." "

Master Yang: "This crossbow can be loaded with twenty arrows at a time, which is theoretically five times the rate of fire of the four-eyed firearm.

In terms of actual performance, the difference is even greater than five times.

After all, the loading of the Four-Eyed Fire Bolt is too cumbersome, and the loading of the Meteor Crossbow Arrow is much simpler. "

Master Yang's face was calm, and his tone was not too turbulent.

He wasn't trying to belittle the Four-Eyed Firebolt, he was just stating a fact.

In fact, Cao Wei's talent is recognized by Master Yang.

It is precisely because of this that he regrets Cao Wei's plunge into the study of firearms.

He felt that if Wei was so sharp.

Don't keep knocking on the fire.

Then in the research and development of the arbasil, he will definitely be able to achieve greater results.

Yang Fuzi picked up a crossbow that was larger than the meteor crossbow and said: "This crossbow is called the Split Stone Crossbow, which is not known for its rate of fire, but for its range and power. "

Yang Fuzi directly reached 300 steps away from the target and aimed at the target.

An arrow shot out.

Moments later, a soldier in charge of the target ran over to look at the target and gestured there.

The soldiers in the martial arts arena all showed shocked expressions.

"It seems that the Machine Building Bureau has developed another kind of powerful crossbow, and three hundred steps away, it actually shot through the target. "

"Amazing, this is too powerful, doesn't this mean that three hundred steps away, this kind of crossbow can also shoot through armor?"

"In this way, there is really no comparison between the firebolt and the crossbow, or the crossbow is much more powerful!"

"I've said a long time ago that the kind of thing like a firebolt is useless, but I still like to use a crossbow. "

"Firecrackers will never surpass crossbows, and if you want me to say, the Machine Builders Bureau doesn't need to continue to develop such things as firecrackers, it's something with no future. "

After seeing Yang Fuzi's crossbow display, the soldiers on the martial arts arena all started talking about it.

Such a result hit Cao Wei hard.

He also knew that Yang Fuzi had developed two improved types of crossbows.

And know that the performance of the Arbalest is better than that of his Four-Eyed Firebolt.

But all the data on paper is not as intuitive as seeing it with your own eyes.

Maybe there really has no future for this kind of thing.

Even though he has already made the best fire gun in the world.

Compared with the crossbow, this gap is still not a star and a half.

Perhaps in the research and development of firearms, there is really no need to insist on it.

Seeing such a situation, Xu Xiao understood what Xu Weixiong meant.

It was the mule and the horse that came out for a walk.

Now the answer is obvious.

Cao Wei has indeed made a lot of progress in the research and development of firearms.

But through such a live demonstration.

I believe everyone has seen it very clearly.

Firebolts can't catch up with the crossbows.

Regarding this fact, I believe that everyone, including Cao Wei, will no longer have any objections.

Xu Xiao was about to return to the council hall and announced his final decision.

Fire guns can be engaged.

But it certainly cannot be the focus of the future.

All the energy of the Machinery Bureau should be mainly focused on the research and development of the crossbow.

"Okay, I'm going to show you two things, Bluebird, bring the AK47. "

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, they saw that the blue bird took a handful of metal items and handed them to Xu Weixiong.

"County Lord, what is this?"

Seeing the AK47 in Xu Weixiong's hand, Cao Wei couldn't help but ask curiously.

Because he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from this object.

Although this item is the first time he has seen it.

But there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Xu Weixiong: "This is an automatic rifle, you can think of it as an improved firearm." "

Everyone was puzzled.

Automatic rifles?

It's a term that no one has ever heard.

Improved firecrackers?

Hearing this explanation, everyone was very surprised.

Ignore the confusion of the crowd.

Xu Weixiong walked straight to the shooting range.

Stand at a distance of 400 paces from the target.

Cao Wei's heart was shocked.

What is the county lord going to do?

Did she want to shoot at a target from a distance of 400 paces?

But didn't she say it was an improved firebolt?

Since it was a firecracker, how could it be possible to hit a target from a distance of 400 paces?

Without waiting for him to continue thinking.

I heard a cracking sound in my ears.

Immediately, Cao Wei's eyes widened like bull's eyes.

In his incredulous gaze.

Dozens of rounds have already been fired from the muzzle of the AK47.

Da~Da~Da~

The target four hundred paces away was instantly beaten into a sieve.

Looking at the dense bullet holes on the target, Cao Wei's whole person seemed to be petrified.

Mr. Yang only felt that his scalp was numb.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

Four hundred steps.

That's a distance of 400 paces!

The firearm in the county lord's hand was able to shoot at a target four hundred paces away.

And also instantly hit the target into a sieve.

What the hell is going on?

"Damn, what's going on? The firearm in the county lord's hand has smashed the target into a sieve four hundred paces away?!"

"It's... Is this also the latest firearm developed by the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau? It's terrifying, isn't it?"

"I'm not dreaming! How could a firebolt have such a fast rate of fire, such a long range, and such a powerful force?!"

The soldiers on the entire martial arts arena stopped practicing and looked at the shooting range with a shocked face.

Xu Weixiong handed the AK47 to the blue bird.

Then he walked towards the M2 heavy machine gun that the Blue Bird had placed in advance.

It was only then that everyone noticed that there was such a strange thing a thousand paces away from the target.

Master Yang's pupils shrank suddenly.

There was a faint speculation in his heart, and this speculation set off a storm in his heart.

Thousand steps.

Thousands of paces!

That's not a distance that a single weapon can reach.

It's hard to believe that it's also a firearm.

Or a firearm capable of firing at targets a thousand steps away?

It's absolutely impossible!

Click~click~click~!

In the shocked gaze of all.

The pole had a long gun with a long pipe, and there were tongues of fire flying in the place of the pipe.

In the flash of light, one target after another was directly smashed.

Cao Wei was shocked to the extreme.

The soul trembled.

He had thought of countless limits, the limits of what the firebolt could reach.

But what was happening in front of him was beyond his cognition.

He really couldn't imagine that the fire rate, range, and power of the firearm could reach such a terrifying level.

The expression on Master Yang's face was horrified.

As a master of the Mo family's intensive research on bow and crossbow firearms, he can be said to have dealt with these things for half his life.

When it came to firearms, he also had a lot of illusions when he was young.

But the reality is always cruel, and the experience of failure again and again tells him that firearms will not have a great future.

But at this moment, looking at the splashing tongue of fire, the target that splashed in all directions.

Mr. Yang felt that his old worldview had collapsed.

A new light of hope has shone in again.

It turns out that firearms can reach such a shocking level!

Xu Xiao seemed to have the same complexion as usual, and his heart was already full of turmoil.

After experiencing the chaotic war in the Spring and Autumn Period, Xu Xiao thought that he had already seen all kinds of weapons on the battlefield.

But the firearm in front of him was something he had never heard of or seen.

It is really shocking that one person can control it and emit such power.

The firearm controlled by Xu Weixiong alone had completely overshadowed the power of the 100-person crossbow array.

Xu Xiao suddenly remembered the previous battle report.

Not long after Xu Weixiong came back, he didn't have time to ask her how the feat of a dozen people resisting a thousand horsemen was accomplished.

I saw this terrifying firearm in front of me.

Xu Xiao already had the answer.

Although Xu Xiao knew, this might not be the whole answer.

But obviously, it's also an extremely important part.

At the same time, Xu Xiao was extremely curious.

How did Xu Weixiong get such a terrifying firearm.

In the entire Liyang Dynasty, there should be no place in terms of ordnance manufacturing that can beat the mechanical construction bureau of the North Starling.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Mo family craftsmen made a death force for the Zhao family.

After Daji was born, he thought that he could retire after success, be alone, and return to the mountains and forests to do some learning.

However, the Zhao family was not worried about these Mo craftsmen who mastered the killing skill, and the old Shoufu of Liyang had always belittled the Mo family as the "Spring and Autumn Rogue Tenth Kingdom", and thousands of Mozi scattered throughout the court were slaughtered.

Especially the Mozi in the ranks of Gu Jiantang and several great generals, they all evaporated from the world almost overnight, and they couldn't even find their bodies.

There are less than 100 people left, and they have survived to this day under Xu Xiao's best protection.

Therefore, Xu Xiao is very sure that the craftsmen who are the best at ordnance manufacturing in the Yang Dynasty are all in the machine manufacturing bureau of the North Starling.

So where did Xu Weixiong get such a powerful firearm?

Besides, he Xu Xiao didn't read much.

But I am still quite concerned about the knowledge related to the soldiers.

As far as Xu Xiao knows, in all the wars of the past hundred years, there has never been such a powerful and terrifying firearm that Xu Weixiong is displaying now.

This made Xu Xiao unable to think of a reason for a while.

But Xu Xiao also knew that it was useless to be anxious.

All of this, I'm afraid that the answer can only be obtained from Xu Weixiong.

...... Earth....
