Iron Dynasty

The waves crashed against the huge hull of the Galen ship, and the wind was howling.

In the distance, a black cloud is approaching, which indicates that a storm is coming soon.

"Bah, our Highness doesn't need support from you who are ill-intentioned."

The translator's words made Yue Yun take a bite.

Now the facts are very clear that King Chu has become a running dog of the Dutch. It is no wonder that King Chu has become more and more domineering over the years, and he has long been confident.

"What to do?" The translator looked at Yue Yun.

"According to the plan just now, let his companions take things and exchange him back. Neither they nor the Dutch are good people."

Looking at the sea that was dyed black by dark clouds, Yue Yun felt heavy. Whether he was a Dutch or a British, this confirmed the knowledge that Xiao Ming told them in the school.

Now the Western powers have assigned their sphere of influence to Great Chongqing, and according to Wilson, flintlock guns are already common equipment in the West, and sailing warships sail around the world.

In the country of Da Yu, the Dutch had passed the matchlock gun into the fief of the Chu king. This news was extremely important, and it was enough to give the Chu king a fatal blow in the court.

With a sigh, he looked at Qingzhou on the chart, only wishing that King Qi had produced the flintlock now.

...

Qingzhou, military workshop.

After a burst of firecrackers exploding, there was a burst of cheers on the military workshop test field.

On the test firing field, Xiao Ming was holding a brand-new flintlock rifle, the muzzle still emitting blue smoke.

The **** of the flintlock is made of brown peach wood. The barrel is covered with a bayonet. The position of Xiao Ming's finger is the position of the shiny silver movement. The barrel of the flintlock is 107 cm long, 0.75 caliber, and weighs 4 kg. , Contains a bayonet that is sixty centimeters long.

While busy with cotton planting these two days, the first barrel was officially produced, and Zhang Liuma sent the barrel to the military workshop non-stop.

Song Changping, who had already assembled the remaining parts, assembled the barrel at this time, and a flintlock gun was officially born.

Xiao Ming, who had received the news, also rushed to the military workshop, and Lu Tong also brought the ammunition.

"His Royal Highness, where did this bullet go?" Chen Qi looked ahead, wondering where Xiao Ming's shooting target was.

"My king doesn't know." Xiao Ming played with the flintlock in his hand with satisfaction. "This flintlock has poor accuracy. It requires concentrated firepower to exert its power. I don't know where the bullet flew just now."

Song Changping said that he made the flintlock, but he didn't use it at all. They didn't know until Xiao Ming came over. It was almost no different from artillery.

The only difference behind the gun now is the flint firing.

"So bows and arrows are inferior?" Chen Qi looked strange, "Why does your Highness produce this stuff? It's better to let Song Changping follow me to produce artillery."

Song Changping pulled a group of people to produce muskets. Chen Qi was distressed. Now seeing that muskets are inferior to artillery, he took the opportunity to say that he wanted to recover the loss.

"You can make artillery, but you don't understand when marching and fighting. This flintlock is much more important than artillery. This king can count on it to drive away the barbarians." Xiao Ming gently stroked the flintlock.

The flintlock gun was finally produced, and Xiao Ming suddenly relaxed. At least Qingzhou once again narrowed the gap between Western weapons.

Everyone was beaming about the firearms, and suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes outside the military workshop.

The figures of Niu Ben and Lu Fei appeared in front of everyone.

"His Royal Highness, has the flintlock produced?" Niu Ben looked expectant.

Xiao Ming nodded, and lost one of the other two flintlocks.

"His Royal Highness, this guy is worthy of a spear." Lu Fei took the flintlock, and the first thing he noticed was the bayonet on the wall.

Niu Ben nodded, "No wonder His Royal Highness said that the Pikemen will be disbanded, and the pikemen that are now formed are the Pikemen."

"The old general understands now. This musketeer is both a long-range arm and a short-range arm. Facing the barbarian cavalry charge, the musketeer can shoot from a distance, can fight close to the body, and will not be slaughtered by cavalry so easily.

There was excitement in Niu Ben's eyes. This flintlock gun was magical in Xiao Ming's mouth. He said, "Your Highness, how do you use this gun?"

Xiao Ming smiled and said to Chen Qi: "Hang a set of plate armor eighty meters away."

Chen Qi ordered to take a set of plate armor and hung it on a target 80 meters away. At this position, it was almost the maximum effective range of the flintlock.

Then he said to Niu Ben and Lu Fei: "You stand on both sides of this king and learn from this king."

While speaking, Xiao Ming handed the ammunition of the flintlock to the two.

Although Niu Ben and Lu Fei were strange, they still followed Xiao Ming's words.

At this time, Xiao Ming erected the flintlock on the ground, bit the ammunition and poured the gunpowder and pellets into the barrel of the flintlock, then used the cleaning rod to compact the gunpowder and pellets, and sprinkled some gunpowder in the gunpowder pool. , Raised the flintlock and aimed at the plate armor.

Niu Ben and Lu Fei followed suit, and also picked up the flintlock.

"Fire!" Xiao Ming gave an order, pulling the trigger, another gunshot and green smoke, and two gunshots on both sides of him.

It's just that the postures of Niu Ben and Lu Fei raising their guns are a bit wrong, and the guns in their hands are almost unsteady.

"It's pretty strong." After seeing the artillery, Lu Fei's flintlock rifle was no longer as shocked as when he first saw the artillery.

And like Chen Qi, he felt that this was a reduced artillery.

"Have you hit it?" Lu Fei said excitedly after putting down the gun.

Niu Ben also showed a look of expectation. They all had high expectations for the flintlock.

It's just that the person who went to investigate came back quickly and was not hit.

"It shouldn't be, I aimed very accurately." Niu Ben didn't believe it.

Xiao Ming did not respond, but said, "The second round of shooting."

Niu Ben and Lu Fei scratched their heads, so they had to load the ammunition again and shoot again.

"Shot." The person who went to investigate took back the plate armor.

After two rounds of shooting ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Niu Ben felt that the flintlock gun was not as accurate as a bow and arrow, but after seeing the hole in the plate armor, he was silent and the bullet completely penetrated the plate armor.

"Old General, now you must be disdainful of the accuracy of this flintlock, but this king is not to show you this." He said to Chen Qi and Song Changping, "You three too."

Chen Qi, Song Changping and Zhang Liu nodded excitedly, and immediately took the flintlock and stood where the three of them were just now.

"The old general has been on the battlefield with unparalleled arrow skills, and he can naturally pierce Yang with a hundred steps, but with the flintlock, even someone like Chen Qi who has never touched a sword can kill an experienced barbarian cavalry at such a distance. "

"Boom..."

As he was talking, Chen Qi and others had already opened fire.

"bingo!"

The investigator soon returned to report, Niu Ben heard the words, his face suddenly became heavy.
