I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 144
"As long as you are equipped with this kind of weapon, your caravan will consist of dozens of people and dozens of guards. Are you still afraid of mere bandits from the Huns?"

Ying Changsheng said to Wuzhi.

"Hey, what kind of weapon is this?"

Wu Shiluo asked hastily.

Ying Changsheng quietly said two words.

"Bird gun!"

"Bird gun?"

Hearing this, Brother Zheng and Wu Shiluo both looked dumbfounded.

The two of them really don't know what kind of weapon the bird gun is.

But Ying Changsheng said to the two of them.

"This is a new type of weapon. You only need to learn it briefly and you can easily kill the enemy at a distance of dozens of steps!"

"Isn't this a crossbow?"

Brother Zheng heard this and asked.

"No, no, no, it's not a crossbow!"

Ying Changsheng shook his head.

"Although the crossbow is good, it's not as powerful as this thing!"

"And besides its power, this thing has another benefit!"

"That is, it can scare people!"

Yes, the blunderbuss thing is in this era.

Power, but really special is second.

On the contrary, it was the loud noise when it was launched.

Pretty scary.

Enough to scare the faint of heart!

Perhaps, some Huns would regard it as a miracle!

"Then where is this weapon now? I want to see it!"

"I want to see it too!"

Wu Shiluo hastily agreed.

But Ying Changsheng laughed dryly, he still didn't know if the craftsman arranged by Chen Ping had made the bird gun.

Just when Ying Changsheng was worried.

Outside, a sound of footsteps came in.

Immediately, only a eunuch came in.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Nineteen, Chen Ping asks to see you!"

"Chen Ping? I heard that this person came up with a lot of ideas during disaster relief in Guandong? Tell him to come in!"

Brother Zheng heard this, waved his hand and said.

Not long after, Chen Ping was brought in, but upon seeing him, Chen Ping first saluted Chao Zhengge, and then said to Chao Ying Changsheng.

"Report to the nineteenth son, the bird gun you want has been successfully made!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ying Changsheng was overjoyed.

Immediately, he said to Chen Ping.

“Where are the costs?”

"The minister brought it here, it's outside the palace!"

"Take it here and let me see it!"

Ying Zheng said quickly.

He still attaches great importance to new weapons.

But Chen Ping didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took the bird gun, the moment he saw the bird gun.

Brother Zheng was shocked by this weird-looking weapon.

He frowned and murmured.

"How to use this thing?"

"Chen, I don't know..."

Chen Ping showed embarrassment, shook his head and said.

He really doesn't know.

Because Ying Changsheng didn't tell him at all how to use this bird gun.

Wu Zhiluo was even more incredulous, he looked at the bird gun, shook his head repeatedly and said.

"This thing looks like a stick, how useful can it be?"

"What? Don't believe it?"

When Ying Changsheng saw this, he chuckled and then turned to Ying Zhengdao.

"Father, why don't we go outside and have a try?"

"it is good!"

Ying Zheng became interested, so he said directly.

In the royal garden.

When he arrived here, Ying Changsheng first asked someone to prepare some gunpowder, and then nervously made a matchlock.

The fire rope made by Ying Changsheng is made of hemp rope.

It belongs to a kind of simple matchlock.

Use hemp rope and wrap some salt powder on it.

In this way, it can be made to burn more slowly.

I saw that Ying Changsheng first filled the gun tube with an appropriate amount of gunpowder, and then took out a lead bullet of suitable size, and then wrapped it with a thin layer of wax. A small piece of cloth was then stuffed into the barrel of the gun, and then the purge was pulled out, and after being stabbed firmly, the matchlock was clamped to the gun at the back.

Immediately, he opened the medicine pool again and sprinkled some gunpowder on it.

After completing this series of operations, it was Brother Zheng and Wu Shiluo who looked at him with confused expressions on their faces.

and impatience.

the reason is simple.

Because of Ying Changsheng, it was the first time to use the bird gun.

When reloading, don't be too slow at all.

It took a full minute.

"Father, it's done!"

After filling it properly, I only heard brother Ying Changsheng Chaozheng say.

Brother Zheng, on the other hand, opened his mouth to him with disdain.

"This bird gun, how do you use it? Seeing how you have been tossing around for so long? How does he use it?"

"Father, let's put a pig in the distance, and then make an iron armor to cover it, and I will show you the power of the bird gun!"

Ying Changsheng said with a smile on his face.

Brother Zheng waved his hand, and immediately, someone was ready.

Not long after, in the distance, a big fat pig covered with iron armor was tied there, about dozens of steps away from Ying Changsheng.

But when he saw Ying Changsheng holding up a blunderbuss.

Then, aim and fire.

immediately.

After a loud noise, lead bullets sprayed out from the mouth of the bird gun.

Immediately, a burst of white smoke from the burning of the black powder filled the air, but only the scream of the fat pig could be heard in the air.

Brother Zheng was astonished.

He looked at the bird gun, and then said to Ying Changsheng.

"The movement of this thing is not small!"

As he said that, Brother Zheng took a step towards the fat pig in the distance, wanting to see how powerful the bird gun was after dozens of steps away. After being pierced through a hole, and blood was trickling out of the fat pig, Brother Zheng hissed and took a deep breath.

Then said.

"This weapon is indeed very powerful!"

"It's just that its rate of fire is still a bit slower, not as good as that of a crossbow..."

"Father, this rate of fire is indeed slower than that of a crossbow, but it's not too slow!"

"This is just the first time I have used this blunderbuss. If you are skilled, the shooting speed can be much faster. As for how it compares to the bow and crossbow? Father, do you think it is the blunderbuss that is more powerful, or the bow? How powerful is the crossbow?”

"Of course it's a bird gun!"

Brother Zheng said without thinking.

The blunderbuss is of course very powerful.

Can penetrate iron armor!

And this, the bow and arrow can't do it at all!

Although the Qin Nu has a long range, its penetration is still a bit poor. It can be used against unarmored targets, but it will be blinded against targets wearing heavy armor.

Because the motion produced by the bow and arrow, how can it compare with the bullets of the musket?
In the pre-Qin period, the reason why Qin crossbows shined was that there was generally no iron armor at that time, and armor was also leather armor.

"The power is not bad, then Father, what do you think of the shooting range of the bird gun?"

At this time, Ying Changsheng asked Brother Zheng again.

"It's not bad!"

Ying Zheng said.

But he still frowned.

"However, its rate of fire is still too slow..."
