Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 619 The Uncle Has Good Knowledge

what?
You say ancient handguns are easy to blow up?

Oops, that kind of thing is a later story.

After all, there are more bullets fired and fewer blasts, right?

Strictly speaking, Wang Mi's words are right and wrong. The pistol is indeed light, but it is not necessarily easy to operate.

"Zhiyuan, I don't agree with what you said."

"The bow and arrow only need to be used with a bow and arrow, but this pistol needs to be ignited, and then the gun is raised. The whole action will not be faster than archery."

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

You see, Liu Yu is obviously an expert.

From the speed of action, it is true that archery is similar to shooting, and even shooting has more steps.

After all, it has to fire first.

These all take time, and from Liu Yu's point of view, that's right.

But, apparently, he overlooked a major problem.

That is the difficulty of training.

"Ji slave, don't worry, although it seems that shooting a gun is more difficult than archery, I bet that this thing is very easy to learn, as long as we can build enough pistols, it won't take long for the Beifu soldiers to have one. Got a pistol!"

I haven't seen a few pistols, but the cowhide is quite big.

Liu Yu's face was embarrassed, and he was dubious, mainly because he had never used a pistol himself, so how could he completely believe what Wang Mi said.

People are always wary of new things.

Liu Yu is like this, so is Tan Pingzhi.

The two generals were full of doubts about their diligent research, which had to make Wang Mi feel a little discouraged.

Obviously, the artifact that was so popular in the general workshop came to them, but the response was mediocre. Could it be that there is a problem with his expressive ability?

Although Wang Mi really wanted to make such an assumption, his reason told him that what Liu Yu and the others said made sense.

They are all warriors who rushed to kill on the battlefield. How many times they escaped from death, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Even if Wang Mi holds the advanced weapons of later generations, he can also be sure that such weapons can greatly improve the combat capability of the army. However, in order to make the pistol really play its due role in this medieval era, there is still a lot to do.

For example, the cost of pistols is extremely expensive, and this matter is very difficult to solve for the empty-handed Dajin court.

It would cost hundreds of millions to build the steel for making guns, not to mention the extra-expensive gunpowder.

If Liu Yu and the others realized that the gunpowder could not be recovered after running out, would they faint on the spot?
There is no doubt that the cost of the pistol is quite high, not only the hardware is expensive, but the filling gunpowder also needs to be piled up with money.

Sima Yao of the stingy family, don’t ask my Sima Daozi for money, these people don’t need to be counted on, they definitely won’t be able to get the money.

Of course, although these people were stingy and greedy, Wang Mi would still send a letter from time to time, urging money.

Money is a good thing and who doesn't like it.

The Sima family's money, if you can squeeze out a cent more, you must squeeze out a cent, don't be vague at all.

In order to promote the artifact as a pistol as soon as possible in the Great Jin territory, Wang Mi of course wanted to report good news and not bad news.

None of the shortcomings of those pistols can be mentioned, only the advantages are repeatedly expanded.

"Since you are sure, then we can't say anything. However, we still insist on continuing to use bows and crossbows. These old skills cannot be abandoned."

"It's natural, and I think so too."

In fact, even in the Ming Dynasty, a thousand years later, the manufacturing technology of handguns has reached the peak level. In a well-organized army, it is still necessary to equip a crossbow team.

Not to mention the crossbow and arrow, the bow and arrow still have its advantages on the battlefield. Before the enemy's weapons are updated, the bow and arrow are fully capable of killing the enemy at a long distance.

The point is that bows and arrows are largely recyclable, with lower waste, which was a huge advantage for the low-productivity ancient times.

However, since bows and arrows are so good, why must firearms be developed?

Of course it's because of the firearms!
As far as that pistol is concerned, despite its small size, its range is not as far as a bow and arrow, but, driven by gunpowder, its penetrating power is invincible!

Compared with bows and arrows, it is multiplied.

In ancient battles, armor could be used as the main defensive weapon for soldiers, and that's because it was really useful.

Taking bows and arrows as an example, even sharp arrows cannot penetrate thick armor from the front under long-range attacks.

Yes!

When fighting on the battlefield, no matter how good the archer is, it is difficult for the arrows he shoots to penetrate the armor of the enemy directly.

The penetration mentioned here is exactly what it means to penetrate from the front of the armor.Generally speaking, if the arrow and the metal armor come into contact, it will slip to one side. No matter how good the archer is, it is difficult for the arrow to hit the other side of the armor directly, even if they try their best.

Don't mention about Li Guang shooting a tiger. Li Guang can shoot arrows into boulders, but he may not be able to shoot arrows into iron plates.

The reason is very simple. Stone is a rough surface, and smooth and sharp weapons such as arrows are relatively easy to penetrate.

And the soldier's armor, the surface is also very smooth, the bow and arrow can't do anything.

However, the same problem, put it in the pistol bullet, it is not a problem at all.Bullets can easily penetrate soldiers' armor, even thick ones.

Armor piercing, this is the most important value of pistols in this era!
To strike the enemy with a bow and arrow, it is necessary to find the gaps in the armor. This is not an easy task. Many times, modern people see in TV dramas, a stab into the chest, the soldier immediately fell to the ground, such a scene, in real life , is actually not easy to appear.

The places where the arrow can penetrate are only the limbs, neck, etc. that cannot be taken care of by the armor, as well as the gaps in the armor on the waist and abdomen.

As for those parts of the chest that are closely protected, it is difficult for arrows to penetrate.

However, the pistol is different. The target it shoots can include the entire torso of a person, and it can penetrate anywhere.

Not to mention, the destructive power of the pistol is also first-class.

If it is said that arrow wounds are difficult to treat and are likely to have sequelae, then the injuries caused by pistols are simply rushing to kill people.

The pistols used in ancient times depended on the current ignited gunpowder to fire, and the gunpowder was inherently strong.

The projectiles shot out can penetrate the body of the enemy, and the damage caused is already greater than that of bows and arrows.

However, the projectile has another big killer.

That is the serious sequelae. The projectiles used in this era are all lead bullets. As we all know, lead bullets are poisonous.

Once it sinks into the human body, it will not only cause great harm to the flesh and blood of the human body, but also spread its toxicity.

Soldiers who are shot will damage their torso at light level, and finally end up with amputation.

It's a pity, it's a pity, there is no ready-made armor here, otherwise we can show Liu Yu and the others the feat of piercing armor on the spot!
That way, they'll know that the pistol doesn't just look good, it's really good!
And now, even if Wang Mi had worn out his tongue, Liu Yu and the others couldn't believe it all at once.

Wang Mi was relieved, and let Liu Yu and the others appreciate the power of the pistol. They can put it back a little bit. The most urgent task now is to build a few more pistols.

Gee...

If you want a gun, you need to have money, brother national treasure, brother national treasure, there is no other way, you can't stay...

…………

"Have those two friends of yours settled down?"

As soon as Wang Mi entered the door, Wang Hui couldn't wait to greet him, and was the first to speak, looking at his urgent appearance, it seemed that he had been waiting for him.

"It's all settled, uncle, don't worry."

"Both of them are sincere men, and I come to do things for them. They don't have to pay from the palace, so they just live in my small courtyard. Even though they are all villagers from Jingkou, they have always been courteous and courteous. It won't cause any trouble for everyone."

If it wasn't for the need to live in the palace, Wang Mi didn't have to instruct them. He didn't have any dislike for these brothers from Jingkou. They were really good men, pure men.

However, when it comes to the right and wrong place of the palace, Wang Mi can't decide a lot of things alone, especially Wang Hui, the family member, must establish a good image for Liu Yu and the others in front of him.

Can the pretentious children of the noble family in the palace get along well with Liu Yu and the others?Among them, the role of Wang Hui is indispensable.

"Don't worry about this, the character of the two of them, the old man can tell at a glance, they are indeed good men, in my opinion, the two of them will not stay in Jiankang City for too long, and in the end they are still If they have to go back to Beifu, that is the place where they can use their talents, and they are only temporarily staying in the palace."

"With the old man here, nothing can go wrong." Wang Hui said firmly, and his calm face made his words extraordinarily convincing.

"With my uncle taking care of me, Zhiyuan certainly has 120 peace of mind!"

"Only, I hope that my uncle will not only take good care of the two of them in the palace, but also protect them more in the imperial court."

As soon as Wang Mi said this, Wang Hui instantly thought of that absurd appointment.

It was thanks to Xie An that the two generals Liu Yu and Tan Pingzhi were transferred from Beifu and sent to Jiankang to serve as idlers.

"Our Duke Xie is really familiar with the art of adjusting the tiger away from the mountain." Wang Hui's fingers flexibly stretched out, tapping rhythmically on the table.

As for Xie An's intentions, within the scope of this palace, there is no need to cover it up. Who can't see it?
Wang Mi smiled and showed open-mindedness: "This is also impossible. After all, the Beifu soldiers are now being maintained by the Xie family."

"Of course, the team that they have worked so hard to manage is not willing to let us install our own people. Besides, Liu Yu is brave and good at fighting, and can unite people's hearts. Once a climate is formed in Beifu, it will also be a threat to General Xie."

"So, we have to be considerate of others."

When Wang Mi said this, Wang Hui had been rolling her eyes hard. Wang Hui had never drank green tea, but she still felt a strong tea smell.

Good tea!
This said.

"Are you really willing to throw two fierce generals into the Imperial Army?"

"No other arrangements?"

If I hadn't seen Liu Yu and their real people, maybe Wang Hui wouldn't think so much, but when I saw them today, Wang Hui immediately reacted.

These two people will definitely become Wang Mi's ministers in the future, and he deliberately placed them in the Beifu!

This kid, what does he want to do?
Fight for power?

Kill Xie Anshi?

Wang Hui stared at Wang Mi for a long time, and always felt that the ambition of this good nephew would never be confined to the court.

What is he aiming for?
A strange thought just swayed in Pharaoh's mind for a while, and it made him agitated for a while.

terrible!

I don't dare to think about it, Wang Hui doesn't dare to think about it anymore!

"Not yet. However, the two of them will be temporarily living in the palace for a while, and I do have some things to do on my side."

Wang Mi deliberately made the words vague, just to make Wang Hui not think too much. In fact, Wang Hui didn't have to worry about what trouble Liu Yu and the others would cause.

You can see from the performance of the two of them in the Beifu. Although Tan Pingzhi has a rougher temperament, he is also a person who knows the general situation. Although surrounded by Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi and others, he has not been caught. handle.

"what's up?"

"Can't you tell me too?"

Wang Hui walked to the door and raised her eyebrows in the direction of Shuixie, boy, how are you?
Give you a chance, why don't you take the initiative to explain?

"It's not impossible."

Wang Mi was very embarrassed. He never expected that his uncle Wang Hui would also be interested in their experiment, but thinking about it in reverse, it didn't seem strange.

Who made your movement so loud?

"It's just that this new weapon has not been fully completed yet. I want to wait until everything is done before telling my uncle."

Wang Hui waved his hand and said loudly, "No need!"

"Just tell me what you come up with now, and I'll follow you young people to learn a lot."

Ah... this...

There seems to be no reason to continue.

Why are you still hesitating!

It seems that the price is still not enough, Wang Hui thought so of course.

Wang Mi seemed to have forgotten a question. Although Wang Hui has been a flamboyant since he became a general, he has never been on the battlefield, and he is the commander of the forbidden army around Jiankang.

However, as the saying goes, have you never seen a pig run or a pig walk?

Wang Hui is also very interested in advanced weapons, and he is very interested.

Under Wang Hui's repeated questions, Wang Mi had to pick and choose, and told him the mysterious weapon he was going to build.

After Wang Hui heard this, she slapped her thigh excitedly.

"Okay!"

"Great!"

"I didn't expect that a talented person like you could emerge from my Wang family!"

"Zhiyuan, you are right to do this. This old man has long wanted to say that if you want to expel Di Qin's evil beasts, it is absolutely impossible to just rely on metaphysics to talk about it!"

"We must rely on the strength of the bow and horse!"

When it came to the matter of the bow and horse, Wang Hui's eyes dimmed unconsciously.

Who doesn't know that fighting depends on a strong bow, a good horse?
But does Dajin have it?
The current general of the Jin Dynasty, that is, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

However, if Wang Mi's new weapon can be widely promoted on the battlefield, it will be a great boon for Jiang Zuo's army!
"With this artifact, don't we need so many war horses?"

Wang Hui was full of expectations, but looking at Wang Mi, she seemed to be shocked.

How is this going?

Could it be that the use of pistols had no effect on the pattern of the Civil War?

If that's the case, why do you work so hard to make a pistol?
