Chapter 140 Huge Resistance

Chapter 140 Huge Resistance

"Go, take a look." Lin Feng said.

Under Yao Xing's leadership, Lin Feng took Ruan Ling'er and others towards the school grounds of the left-behind department.Since the left-behind division does not have any troops directly under it, this school ground is basically idle now.

As for the original Yumajian people, they were all assigned to the Nanjiang Province and belonged to the armed forces of the Nanjiang Province.Now it has been handed over to Li Wenyuan.

"My lord, I put all the five hundred muskets in the school grounds and sent people to guard them closely." Yao Xing said to Lin Feng.

Walking to the warehouse door, Yao Xing asked someone to open the warehouse door, and said to Lin Feng, "My lord, it's inside."

"Go, go in and have a look." Lin Feng said, and walked in first.At the beginning, when he was in the military forum, he was obsessed with this musket for a while, but his own technology was limited, and it took half a month to make it, but he couldn't make it, so he gave up helplessly.Now that he can experience the musket for himself, Lin Feng is naturally very excited.

After entering, there were only dozens of large boxes in the empty warehouse.Some of the English written on these boxes, for Lin Feng, who has always advertised himself as patriotic and refused to learn English, he couldn't understand a single word of the bird language on it.

"Open it." Lin Feng said to the soldiers who followed.

Soon, the box was opened by the soldiers. Inside the box, wrapped in tarpaulin, was the musket that Wu Wang had bought at a high price.If it weren't for the fact that Jinling's general prisoner had already existed in name only, the King of Wu could not raise the elixir, or else, the five hundred muskets would have been a big threat to Lin Feng.

Taking out a musket, Lin Feng felt it for a while, not to mention, this musket is really heavy.Holding it upside down in his hand, Lin Feng asked, "Is there any elixir?"

"A little bit." Yao Xing said.These elixirs should have been given by the merchants when the King of Wu bought the muskets. The quantity was not large, and they were probably used to test whether the muskets could be used.

"Bring the ammunition, let's go to the school grounds." Carrying the musket, Lin Feng walked out of the warehouse imposingly and headed for the school grounds.

Hastily ordered some targets to be temporarily set up, and Yao Xing said to Lin Feng: "My lord, the target is set at fifty paces away, okay?" Fifty paces away, this distance is not far, this is the first time Yao Xing is worried that Lin Feng will use it. , worried that he might not be able to hit.Another thing is that in Yao Xing's impression, the range of muskets is not very far. If the target is set far away, it is impossible to hit it.and.The accuracy of muskets is notoriously poor.

Putting the gun on his shoulder, Lin Feng said: "Put it farther away, at least a hundred steps away."

"My lord, is it too far away?" Yao Xing asked.In ancient times, the standard for evaluating an excellent archer was to penetrate Yang with a hundred steps. The distance of a hundred steps is far enough, but the range of a musket is beyond reach.In my impression, the range of the musket is less than eighty steps, and the effective damage distance is even less than sixty steps.This is why muskets are not widely used.

"You underestimate the flintlock gun too much!" Lin Feng said to Yao Xing: "The effective killing distance of this thing is more than 120 paces." This is due to what Lin Feng learned in that military forum, the flintlock gun Compared with the matchlock gun, that is a very big improvement.Of course, the shortcomings of the flintlock gun are still very obvious. It is not a rear loader, but a front loader.On the battlefield, loading ammunition is very troublesome.However, his power is also very popular.

After Yao Xing asked someone to place the target a hundred steps away, Lin Feng took the ammunition that Yao Xing brought out and started to load it.Although Lin Feng has watched the video of reloading the flintlock gun countless times, and he is very clear about these steps in his heart, it is still very difficult for him to reload the ammunition by himself.

After spending about 3 minutes, Lin Feng finally finished loading.Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Lin Feng said, "It's really troublesome to load." On the battlefield, time is life, and it takes so long to load the ammunition, but it seriously drags down the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Raising the gun, Lin Feng began to aim at the target a hundred paces away.Since the flintlock has no front sight, it is very difficult to aim.Lin Feng stared at it for a long time before pulling the trigger.

With a sound of "touch", the bullet flew out.This sound startled Dong'er who was following her. Out of curiosity, she was standing closest, so Dong'er heard this sound most clearly.

"Why is this thing making such a loud noise?" Dong'er asked while hiding behind Ruan Ling'er.

With the white smoke after the gunshot, Lin Feng couldn't help coughing twice, and said, "This thing is not only loud, but also smokes." This is the shortcoming of black powder. Smokeless gunpowder is really incomparable.

"Like thunder." Dong'er said, "I was scared to death just now."

"Go and see if there is a hit? The accuracy of this musket is really bad." Lin Feng said to Niu Jin who was behind him.

Handing the musket to Yao Xing, Lin Feng asked, "Do you want to try it?"

After waving his hands again and again, Yao Xing said, "I'll forget it."

"I...I want to try." Dong'er poked out a small head from behind Ruan Ling'er, and said to Lin Feng.

"Aren't you afraid?" Lin Feng asked.Just now, she was just on the sidelines, and she was taken aback. If she shot herself, she would be scared to death!
Standing up from behind Ruan Ling'er, Dong'er glared at Lin Feng and said, "I was not prepared. Now that I am prepared, am I still afraid?" After speaking, she looked at Lin Feng triumphantly.

"Then here it is, you go and try it." Lin Feng handed the musket to Dong'er, then walked to Ruan Linger's side, and asked, "You don't want to try?"

Shaking her head, Ruan Ling'er said, "No way. The smoke is too choking."

"That's right, let that little girl Dong'er suffer a bit." Lin Feng said sinisterly.When he shot, he knew that the black powder had a lot of smoke, but Dong'er didn't expect so much.

Following Lin Feng's example, Dong'er slowly loaded the ammunition.There is no way, this job of loading ammunition takes half a minute even for a skilled soldier, let alone someone like Dong'er who has only seen it once.

"Hey, you can't even load the ammunition, can you?" Lin Feng deliberately laughed at Dong'er and said.

"Hmph, don't underestimate people." Dong'er said, ignoring Lin Feng and reloading ammunition by herself.Ruan Ling'er, on the other hand, saw Lin Feng watching a joke, so she said to Lin Feng, "Why don't you go and help Dong'er refill it?"

"No." Lin Feng said.

Looking at Ruan Ling'er, Dong'er said stubbornly, "I don't want his help." After speaking, she continued to tinker with herself.

Niu Jin, who was in charge of seeing the target, came back and said to Lin Feng: "My lord, I missed it."

"Hey...the accuracy is too bad." Lin Feng said helplessly.Blame all the reasons on the aiming head, there is no way, this flintlock has no aiming device, and even if it has an aiming device, since it is not a rifled gun, the aiming head is not much better.

After finally loading the ammunition, Dong'er looked at Lin Feng provocatively, then imitated Lin Feng and raised the musket.Although she didn't know how Miao Zhu was, Dong'er still learned all of Lin Feng's movements.

"Bang" Dong'er pulled the trigger.This was followed by Dong'er's violent coughing.

A pair of muskets were still on the ground, and Dong'er squatted aside.Tears couldn't stop flowing down, there was no way, the smoke from the black powder was too choking.

Seeing Dong'er squatting on the ground, coughing non-stop, and still in tears, Ruan Ling'er hurried to run, squatted beside Dong'er, and asked, "How is it? Did you hurt yourself?"

"It's okay, miss. It's just... I was choked by the smoke." Dong'er said while tears were streaming down her face.

Turning around, Ruan Ling'er looked at Lin Feng with some complaints, which meant, why didn't you tell Dong'er in advance?

"She didn't ask me. Besides, who asked her to open her mouth so wide when she shot?" Lin Feng said.When Dong'er fired the gun, she was taken aback and opened her mouth all of a sudden. This time, most of the smoke from the gunpowder filled into Dong'er's mouth floated into Dong'er's mouth, and she was not choked. Is it strange?

"Miss, he must have done it on purpose, he just wanted to see me laugh." Although Dong'er was coughing, she did not forget to complain.

"Get up, I'll take you to wash up." Seeing Dong'er's disheveled face, Ruan Ling'er said with some distress.

Before being helped away by Ruan Ling'er, Lin Feng clearly saw the angry look in Dong'er's eyes.Looking at Dong'er's back helplessly, Lin Feng said, "It's not my fault!"

Although the flintlock gun is not accurate enough, it is definitely powerful, at least much stronger than bows and arrows.Moreover, it is much easier to train a musketeer than an archer. It takes at least half a year or even longer to train a well-trained archer, but it only takes seven days or less to train a musketeer.

"Put away all these treasures." Lin Feng said to Yao Xing: "At the same time, we must recruit craftsmen and start imitation as soon as possible."

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not easy to imitate. Our craftsmen are good at making matchlock guns, but they can't do this flintlock gun." Yao Xing said.The Imperial Horse Supervisor back then was also equipped with a lot of firearms, so Yao Xing also knew some knowledge about this.
