Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 748

The distance of 150 steps and the penetration of iron armor really made the generals present shine.

As for the target that Lu Qianyuan shot from a distance of nearly a hundred feet, although only two shots penetrated the iron armor on the target, the other two shots did not penetrate the iron armor, but they also left deep dents in the iron armor.

As for the two remaining bullets, well, no one knows exactly where they flew, but it is extremely amazing to have such a hit rate at a distance of a hundred feet.

Even Wang Shunchen and Han Shizhong, who are good at shooting in the army, can only look back and sigh, feeling ashamed of themselves.

The shooting range of a bow and arrow means that it can only have a certain degree of lethality within a hundred steps. If you want to penetrate the armor, the distance needs to be closer.

As the chief instructor who trains these shooters, Lu Qian naturally has a lot of say. He allowed Han Shizhong to move the lightning gun from one place to another, and continued to introduce the advantages of this gunpowder weapon.

"And this lightning gun is very simple and easy to use. Ordinary soldiers can master the secret of shooting with only simple training. It is far more convenient than a crossbow..."

Hearing Lu Qian describe it so easily, all the Song generals' eyes lit up, and Wang Shunchen was even more eager to give it a try.

"General Lu, I wonder if I can give it a try?"

"Duke Zhuangyuan, I am also willing to give it a try..."

Seeing these eager generals of the Song Dynasty, Gao Zhang looked at Lu Qian who was very expressive and looked at him frequently.

"In that case, please ask Brother Lu to let them send the firearms so that all the generals can fully experience the benefits of the lightning gun."

Soon, more than a dozen generals received their own weapons, and the shooters first demonstrated in front of them how to use charges and how to aim.

In less than a quarter of an hour, these generals already understood how to use these firearms.

Next, they started shooting at a target fifty steps away. After two or three shots, they were able to hit the target.

And Wang Shunchen and several other good archers started shooting at targets that were a hundred paces or even 150 paces away.

Gao Zhang looked helplessly at these Song Xiao generals, the youngest of whom were already in their 20s, and the oldest of whom were already 40 years old.

The two of them were as happy as naughty children who got a novel toy, and had a great time playing with guns.

Both Wang Shunchen and Han Shizhong were able to play with the latest lightning gun used by Lu Qian just now.

At a hundred feet, practice your aim and see who is the best shooter in the Song Dynasty.

It has to be said that these good shooters can easily find the target. After Wang Shunchen only missed two shots, he fired seven consecutive shots, all of which hit the target.

Such a hit rate directly made Lu Qian, the gun and stick coach of the 80-strong Forbidden Army in the Song Dynasty, feel ashamed.

When Han Shizhong was able to hit seven out of ten, the smile on Lu Qian's face was so hypocritical that Gao Zhang could hardly stand it anymore.

#####
After these generals struggled here for more than an hour, they reluctantly put down their firearms at Gao Zhang's urging.

After personal experience, the generals of the Song Dynasty have already realized their understanding of weapons such as lightning guns. If the Song Dynasty equipped such weapons in large quantities.

Even the Song Dynasty still could not obtain land to herd horses. This kind of gunpowder weapon alone was enough to defeat most enemies.

Even if the opponent comes with iron cavalry, after the opponent enters the shooting range, they will face dense lightning guns, powerful flying thunder cannons, or thunder cannons that sweep away like a lawnmower.

I really can’t figure out what kind of army, what kind of fortresses and armors there are in this world that can stop Wu Ben of the Song Dynasty from advancing.

#####
The point is that the steel output and the quality of the steel in the Kaifeng Metal Workshop have been greatly guaranteed.And now, these firearms can already be used for assembly line operations.

This makes the cost of these firearms no different from the cost of compound bows, far lower than the Song Dynasty Divine Arm Bow.

The cost required to make a divine arm bow can be used to make four such lightning guns.

It was of such high quality and low price that it was naturally favored by Gao Zhang’s dear master.

That's why after appreciating the advantages of this lightning gun, he named it lightning gun himself.

The implication is that this gun is as fast as lightning.

Liu Fa even secretly asked Gao Zhang if the officials intended to form a force that would exclusively use flying thunder cannons, thunder cannons and lightning guns.

"The officials have no such idea for the time being, but I have already requested the officials to prepare a force of lightning spear cavalry."

"The lightning gun cavalry uses the ultra-long range of this lightning gun, coupled with the rapid transfer ability of those cavalry."

"In this way, no matter whether they encounter enemy infantry or cavalry in the wild, the Lightning Lancers can give full play to their advantages."

Pictures suddenly flashed in the minds of the generals. They were holding a lightning gun that could hit the enemy from a hundred feet away.

Facing thousands of Liao cavalry, he aimed and shot at the enemy from a hundred feet away with ease.

When the enemy was panting and approaching a certain distance at the risk of death and injury, he calmly pulled his horse's head and escaped calmly.

While running wildly with the horse under him, he loaded the ammunition on the horse and prepared to continue shooting.

Yao Pingzhong, who likes to play raids and special operations the most, suddenly started breathing rapidly, his eyes were green and he muttered.

"If we really had such a cavalry, wouldn't our Song Dynasty be invincible in the field?"

"Master Zhuangyuan, can you, can you let the last general take charge of this lightning spear cavalry?..."

"You don't have to worry. At present, the production of this lightning gun has not yet reached a large scale. It will still have to wait for a year and a half. You don't have to worry."

Seeing the looks in the eyes of these generals, which were like those of harried women, Gao Zhang was a little confused and quickly found an excuse.

Of course, I also want to tell you that you continue to train well and work conscientiously. When the time is right, you will naturally choose the best.

Liu Fa laughed happily and held his head high confidently. After all, compared to other generals present, he had the highest status and had made the most meritorious deeds.

Moreover, he was a famous and powerful general in the Song Dynasty. His look of indifference made the others feel very evil.

But fortunately, there is still time. At worst, I just need to lick the Number One Scholar more. By then, it’s not certain who will win.

Gao Zhang was also very happy when he saw that the eyes of these Dashi generals were obviously very different from those of the Dashi generals before they came to Shenleisi.

In any case, the military generals supported gunpowder weapons, which would naturally be conducive to the popularity of gunpowder weapons in the Song Dynasty.

I can afford to wait for a year and a half. After all, no matter how bad the Liao Kingdom is, it will not collapse in a year and a half...
