However, compared with other generals in the military, Mao Zhengliang, as a passer-by, undoubtedly has more profound insights in this regard.
Because now, he knows better than anyone that this kind of weapon contains great potential.
Therefore, even the torrent of arrows of 7000 archers later brought great shock to others. But in Mao Zhengliang's eyes, these guns destined to become the king of weapons in the next few hundred years are the things that can really bring him victory.
So looking at these guns, an unquestionable idea also emerged in Mao Zhengliang's mind.
'I must improve the gun as soon as possible, it is the key to the future victory!'
Mao Zhengliang thought in his heart. Only when he regained consciousness did he, as a marshal, continue to dance the flag in his hand and let the more than 4500 cavalry who had been waiting for him enter the school yard.
As the last troops to enter the arena, these cavalry are undoubtedly regarded as the treasure at the bottom of the box.
As a result, even Mao Zhengliang seemed somewhat distracted at this time. However, when these knights entered the arena, the drums on the campus seemed much louder.
Therefore, with the deafening sound of war drums, these arms, which were king in the cold weapon era, began to run around the huge school yard.
"Kill!!!"
With the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, the angry cries of these knights were really like a mountain falling.
Although the number is less than 5000, we have to say that the shock they brought to people at this time is really beyond all other types of infantry.
Therefore, when the cavalry roared to kill them, Mao Zhengliang could not help nodding and saying hello.
"Yes, indeed. This is what a soldier should look like."
"Ha ha ha, Marshal Xie praised it."
Thousands of households, including Qian Wan, responded with smiles.
So Mao Zhengliang looked at them and said, "Remember what I said: 'Since it's a war, you should always be ready at any time."
Although you have done well this time, I hope you will not just be satisfied with the present. We must be ambitious and strive to make tomorrow better than today. Do you understand this? "
"Yes, I understand."
"Please rest assured that your subordinates will do their best not to disappoint the marshal."
After cutting off hundreds of heads in a row, Mao Zhengliang is now in the army, but he also feels like the sun is at its zenith.
So after hearing his words, Qian Wan, Liu Wei and others were too busy to agree.
Therefore, Mao Zhengliang, who was still very concerned about the fire gun, could not help looking at Gong Xukun beside him and saying, "General, the fire gun army under your account is really excellent.
For such a troop, I really want to know more about it. It is because I have a premonition that the fire gun will shine in the battlefield in the future. "
With these words, Mao Zhengliang waved his hand, and a group of people also walked down the platform and walked directly in the direction of the thousand firearm troops.
However, when Qian Wan, Gong Xukun and Liu Wei surrounded Mao Zhengliang to the position of the thousand gun army, Zhang Hao, as the commander of the thousand gun army, could not help but feel a little confused.
Because Zhang Hao never thought that such soldiers as them, who have very weak voice in the army, would be treated specially by Mao Zhengliang at this time.
So looking at Mao Zhengliang, who is ten years younger than himself, where Zhang Haoli, a thousand household official, is, I can't help feeling nervous.
"Hehe, relax. You've just behaved very well. Don't be so constrained."
Seeing Zhang Hao's forehead sweating and his face turning red at this time, Mao Zhengliang could not help smiling and patting him on the shoulder as comfort.
Therefore, Zhang Hao, who came back to his senses, was busy clasping his fists and saying, "Thank you, Marshal Xie."
"Ha ha ha, I told you just now. Don't be so constrained." He smiled and patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder. Then, Mao Zhengliang said: "Come on, let me see your blunderbuss.
To tell the truth, I am really curious about these weapons. "
"Yes, I will understand."
Zhang Hao nodded at the words. Then without saying a word, he took a gun from his own soldier and handed it to Mao Zhengliang.
So it was only at this time that Mao Zhengliang, who had passed through the rebirth, was able to play with this bronze cast blunderbuss with a length of 456cm and a caliber of about 40mm.
"Tut tut. Don't tell me, the appearance of the gun is quite different from what I imagined before."
He played with the fire gun, which was cast by the Yuan and Mongol court, and murmured through the reborn Mao Zhengliang, but he could not help but find it. There is indeed a big gap between the firearm that is popular today and the firearm that is remembered by later generations.
Take the appearance for example. Compared with the fire gun weapons of later generations, the popular copper cast mouth gun looks like a strange horn.
The caliber of the gun is more than 40 mm, but the diameter of the gun body is less than 30 mm. So that the upper part of the gun is like a tea cup.
Because of this, this copper cast gun is often called "cup mouth" or "trumpet" on the battlefield.
In addition, today's gun structure is also very simple. Although the shape of the gun barrel, the chamber and the tailhole can be clearly distinguished.
However, there was no guide outside the gun and no rifling inside.
Therefore, compared with the crossbow that has been developed and perfected for a long time, the accuracy of the fire gun is poor. So that nowadays, even skilled firearm players can only guarantee the accuracy of shooting within 40 steps.
So looking at the poor gun with rough design in his hand, all kinds of improvement ideas have sprung up from Mao Zhengliang's mind.
So after playing with the fire gun, Mao Zhengliang, who could not wait, looked at Zhang Hao, the official of the Qianhu Family, and said, "I just saw you practice shooting, but I couldn't help thinking of a way to improve it."
In this way, Mao Zhengliang could not help but teach Zhang Hao and others the "three section hit", which is destined to be carried forward in the future.
By the way, Mao Zhengliang also improved the process of filling the pills.
But nowadays, the process of gunpowder filling is to use a porcelain bottle filled with gunpowder to pour gunpowder into the gun. With this method, it is difficult to control the measurement of gunpowder and the operation is very troublesome.
So Mao Zhengliang suggested‘ Let the gunsmiths, like doctors, pack the fixed amount of gunpowder with small pieces of paper before the war, and then open it for use when needed. "
In this way, the filling time can be saved by more than half.
