Chapter 234: The amazingly powerful firearm shocked Xu Xiao! (Request full subscription!! Request data!!)

“The general, the general is here! Brothers, come on, we can’t lose this time, we must make the guys on the other side fall to the ground!”

“You guys are dreaming. How could we lose in front of the general? Brothers, show those guys a lesson!”

The martial arts arena in Beiliang Palace is now bustling with activity.

The soldiers on the martial arts field are all from the Beiliang Palace.

During the rotation period, these soldiers were training in the drill ground.

The most eye-catching thing is the tug-of-war that is going on.

Several iron chains stretched across the field, and the soldiers on both sides of each chain were fighting hard and not giving up an inch.

Seeing the arrival of the general, everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, shouting loudly and with great momentum.

Soon, Xu Xiao and his group arrived at the shooting range.

Xu Weixiong:”Cao Wei, bring your four-barreled musket over here and try it out.””

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

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

Cao Wei skillfully added gunpowder to the barrel and loaded the steel balls.

Then add the fuse to the small hole

Bang, bang, bang, bang~

Four explosions sounded in succession

As fireworks burst out from the barrel

Steel balls shot out one after another

“This musket is quite special. I remember that the muskets I saw before could only fire once at a time.”

“Don’t mention it. I’ve used that thing before. It’s very troublesome. After each shot, you have to reload the gunpowder, put the steel balls, and put the fuse.

If you use that kind of single-shot musket on the battlefield, it will drive you crazy.”

“The fire gun developed by the Machinery Bureau this time is quite interesting. It seems that it can put four pieces in at a time in advance, and then it can fire four times in a row.”

“It is much better than the previous single-shot musket, and it seems to have a greater range and power.”

The movement on the shooting range attracted the attention of many soldiers, who started to discuss the matter.

After watching Cao Wei’s demonstration

Xu Weixiong nodded and said,”This four-barreled fire gun has made great progress in terms of firing speed, range, and power.”

Cao Wei could not hide his joy after receiving Xu Weixiong’s approval and said,”The performance of the four-barreled fire gun in actual testing shows that it can penetrate armor at fifty steps and severely damage unarmored targets at a hundred steps.”

Xu Weixiong nodded

This power is a great improvement.

You know, among all the dynasties, the Ming Dynasty had the most advanced firearms.

The Beiliang Army also spent a lot of effort to obtain a three-barreled fire gun from the Ming Dynasty.

Three-barreled fire gun, can penetrate armor between 20 and 30 steps in infantry combat

At around fifty steps, it can severely damage unarmored targets

It seems that the four-barreled fire gun developed by Cao Wei is twice as powerful as the three-barreled fire gun of the Ming Dynasty.

“Cao Wei, the four-barreled fire gun you developed this time has made great progress, but it would be better if you put all your energy into the development of the crossbow.”

“Yes, although the four-barreled musket can load four barrels at a time, it takes four times as long to load again after one loading is completed.

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

“Our Beiliang Army has always been known for its powerful crossbows. In my opinion, there is no need for us to develop this kind of firearm.

Our crossbows are more powerful than any firearms in the world, so why waste time and energy on firearms?”

Most people in the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau are not optimistic about the further development of firearms.

Xu Weixiong didn’t say much.

Instead, he looked at the gaunt middle-aged man and said,”Master Yang, show me our latest crossbow.””

Master Yang bowed and accepted the order

After a moment, he brought over two crossbows.

Master Yang pointed at one of the crossbows and said,”This crossbow is called the Meteor Crossbow, and it is a crossbow that excels in firing speed.”

Master Yang said as he picked up the Meteor Crossbow.

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

Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~

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

“The firing rate of this crossbow is so fast! It is much faster than the crossbow we are equipped with now!”

“Of course, this is a newly developed crossbow, it must be getting more and more powerful”

“I really hope this kind of crossbow can be equipped earlier. With this kind of crossbow with high firing speed, let’s see how the northern barbarians can resist it.”

Xu Weixiong nodded and said:”The arrow flies like a meteor falling to the ground. The shooting speed of this crossbow is worthy of the name of Meteor Crossbow.”

Master Yang:”This crossbow can hold 20 arrows at a time, which is theoretically five times faster than the four-barreled fire gun.

In actual performance, the gap is even greater than five times

After all, loading a four-barreled musket is too complicated, while loading a meteor crossbow arrow is much simpler.”

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

He didn’t mean to belittle the Four-Eyed Gunner, he was just stating a fact.

In fact, Master Yang recognized Cao Wei’s talent.

That is why he felt sorry for Cao Wei’s plunge into the study of firearms.

He felt that if Wei was so stubborn

Don’t keep fighting with the fire gun

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

Master Yang picked up a crossbow that was a size larger than the Meteor Crossbow and said,”This crossbow is called the Stone Splitting Crossbow. It is not known for its speed, but for its range and power.”

Master Yang arrived 300 steps away from the target and aimed at it.

An arrow shot out

After a while, a soldier in charge of the target ran over and looked at the target, then gestured

The soldiers in the martial arts arena were all horrified.

“It seems that the Machinery Bureau has developed another amazing crossbow. It can shoot through the target from 300 steps away.”

“Awesome, this is too awesome. Doesn’t this mean that this powerful crossbow can penetrate armor from three hundred steps away?”

“It seems that there is really no comparison between the musket and the crossbow, and the crossbow is much more powerful!”

“I’ve said it before, things like muskets are just good looking but useless, I still prefer to use crossbows”

“Firearms will never be better than crossbows. In my opinion, the Machinery Bureau should not continue to develop firearms. They are totally useless.”

After watching Master Yang’s crossbow demonstration, the soldiers on the martial arts field began to discuss

This result was a great blow to Cao Wei.

He also knew that Master Yang had developed two improved crossbows.

And he knew that the crossbow was better than his four-barreled musket.

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

Maybe things like fire guns really have no future.

Even though he had created the best musket in the world

But compared to the crossbow, the gap is still not a little bit

Maybe there is really no need for me to persist in the research and development of firearms.

Seeing this situation, Xu Xiao naturally understood what Xu Weixiong meant.

Whether it’s a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk

Now the answer is obvious.

Cao Wei did make considerable progress in the research and development of firearms.

However, through such a live demonstration

I believe everyone has seen it clearly.

Fire guns cannot catch up with crossbows

I believe that no one, including Cao Wei, would have any objection to this fact.

Xu Xiao was ready to return to the meeting room to announce the final decision.

Firearms can be used

But it certainly cannot be the focus in the future.

The Mechanical Engineering Bureau should focus all its efforts on the research and development of the crossbow.

“Okay, now I’m going to show you two things. Bluebird, bring the AK47 over here.”

Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, Qingniao took out a metal object and handed it to Xu Weixiong.

“Princess, what is this?”

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

Because he felt an inexplicable familiarity from this object.

Although this item is the first time he has seen it

But there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Xu Weixiong:”This is an automatic rifle. You can think of it as an improved musket.”

Everyone looked puzzled

Automatic rifle?

This is a term no one has ever heard of.

Improved musket?

Hearing this explanation, everyone was very surprised.

Ignoring everyone’s doubts

Xu Weixiong walked straight to the shooting range

Standing 400 steps away from the target

Cao Wei’s heart was shocked

What is the princess planning to do?

Did she want to shoot at a target from four hundred paces away?

But didn’t she say that this was an improved musket?

Since it is a musket, how is it possible to hit the target from four hundred steps away?

Before he could continue thinking

I heard a burst of explosions.

Immediately, Cao Wei’s eyes widened like a cow’s

In his incredulous eyes

Dozens of bullets have been fired from the muzzle of the AK47

Da~da~da~

The target four hundred steps away was instantly shot into a sieve.

Looking at the densely packed bullet holes on the target, Cao Wei seemed to be petrified.

Master Yang felt his scalp tingling

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

Four hundred steps

This is a distance of four hundred steps!

The firearm in the princess’s hand could actually hit a target 400 steps away.

And the target was instantly turned into a sieve

What is going on?

“What the hell, what happened? The firearm in the princess’s hand shot the target into a sieve from 400 steps away?!”

“Is this… is this also the latest firearm developed by the Machinery Bureau? This… this power is terrifying!”

“This is so exaggerated! I must be dreaming! How could a musket have such a fast firing rate, such a long range, and such a powerful power?!”

All the soldiers on the training ground stopped their training and looked towards the shooting range in amazement.

Xu Weixiong handed the AK47 to Bluebird

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

At this time, everyone noticed that there was a strange thing placed thousands of steps away from the target.

Master Yang’s pupils shrank suddenly.

He had some vague guesses in his mind, and these guesses caused a storm in his heart.

Thousand Steps

A distance of thousands of steps!

That is no longer a distance that can be reached by individual weapons.

Could it be that it was also a firearm?

Or a firearm that can shoot targets thousands of steps away?

This is absolutely impossible!

Tick, tick, tick~！

In the shocked eyes of everyone

The musket with a long barrel had flames flying from the barrel.

In a flash, one target after another was smashed to pieces.

Cao Wei was shocked to the extreme

The soul is trembling

He thought of countless possibilities of what a firearm could achieve.

But everything that happened before his eyes was beyond his understanding.

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

Master Yang’s expression was extremely horrified.

As a master of bows, crossbows and firearms in the Mohist school, he has been dealing with these things for half his life.

When he was young, he had many illusions about firearms.

But the reality is always cruel. Repeated failures have taught him that firearms will not have a bright future.

But at this moment, looking at the flames and the flying targets

Master Yang felt that his old worldview had collapsed.

A new light of hope shines in again

It turns out that firearms can reach such an astonishing level!

Xu Xiao looked calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

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

But the firearms before him were something he had never heard of or seen before.

It is really shocking that one person can exert such power.

The firearm controlled by Xu Weixiong alone has completely overwhelmed the power of the 100-man crossbow formation.

Xu Xiao suddenly remembered the previous battle report

Xu Weixiong had just returned, and he hadn’t had time to ask her how she had accomplished the feat of a dozen people resisting a thousand cavalrymen.

Seeing this terrifying firearm in front of me

Xu Xiao already has the answer

Although Xu Xiao knew that this might not be the whole answer

But this is obviously also a very important part

At the same time, Xu Xiao became extremely curious

How did Xu Weixiong get such a terrifying firearm?

In the entire Liyang Dynasty, when it comes to weapon manufacturing, there should be no place that can surpass Beiliang’s Machinery Bureau.

When Li Yang swallowed up the Spring and Autumn Annals, the Mohist craftsmen worked hard for the Zhao family.

After saving the people, I thought I could retire, live a quiet life, and study in the mountains.

However, the Zhao family was not confident in these Mohist masters who were good at killing. In addition, Prime Minister Li Yang had always belittled the Mohist school as”the tenth rogue country in the Spring and Autumn Period”. Thousands of Mohists scattered throughout the court were slaughtered.

Especially Gu Jiantang and Mozi in the ranks of several generals, almost all of them disappeared from the world overnight, and even their bodies could not be found.

There are less than a hundred people left, and they have survived to this day thanks to Xu Xiao’s protection.

Therefore, Xu Xiao was very sure that the best craftsmen in the Yang Dynasty who were good at making weapons were all in Beiliang’s Machinery Bureau.

So where did Xu Weixiong get such a powerful firearm?

Besides, although Xu Xiao doesn’t read much,

But I am still quite interested in knowledge related to military affairs.

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

This made Xu Xiao unable to figure out the reason for a while.

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

I’m afraid the only answer to all this can be found from Xu Weixiong.

……earth…
