The civil servants and generals moved slowly.
The accompanying guards immediately stepped forward to rearrange the scattered seats.
After a while, everyone took their seats, but the discussion continued.
"Listen, let us sit still. Do you think that artifact that can break mountains and crack rocks can be real?"
"Hey, before, I would have believed it a little bit, but now I don't believe it. You said that Mr. Fang doesn't have trouble wherever he goes! He even hunts. Look at what he hunted today. , it’s not his style, it shows that he is destined to be disappointed today.”
"Yeah! It makes sense. It makes sense."
As soon as Fang Zheng saw them, they all took their positions and continued: "There are three weapons to be displayed today, and each of them can change the pattern of the current war situation. I dare not say that the world is invincible! But according to the current situation, I have great prospects. It is destined to benefit the Invincible Land!"
The ministers didn't have any special reaction, they just thought he was bragging.
Emperor Jing was waiting for him, he had already seen the blunderbuss just now. It is truly magical. If everyone can equip it, Dajing's combat power will undoubtedly be greatly improved!
But when I came back, I learned through chat that the cost was too high, and if it was to be used as a universal equipment, it would take a lot of time to improve the craftsmanship.
Now there are two more...
Seeing that the discussion was gradually coming to an end, Fang Zheng waved his hand back.
Immediately, a Jin Yiwei came forward and brought a heavy wooden box.
Opening the box revealed a neat pile of spears and short muskets.
Fang Zheng pulled out a short blunderbuss, held it in both hands and displayed it in front of everyone: "This first one is called a hand blunderbuss. It can fire three rounds of projectiles in a row. It can break armor within fifty steps and cause damage to the enemy! Once the projectiles enter the body, , the enemy narrowly escaped death."
"Come on, get on the target!"
The Jin Yiwei behind him lifted up the arrow target that had been prepared. Fangzheng stood sideways and raised his gun to shoot.
Bang bang bang, three shots hit the target steadily!
The whole place fell silent immediately....
The collective gaze looked at the target and then at the gun in Fang Zheng's hand.
I didn't react for a while.
I heard a sound just now. Is this the end?
Although the civil servants reacted slowly, the generals understood it immediately. Many people stood up and stretched their necks to carefully observe the targets that had been penetrated.
Suddenly someone shouted excitedly: "What a weapon! But... what about after three shots?"
Fang Zheng laughed loudly: "After three shots, you naturally need to reload. These are one of his shortcomings. Although it is quick and convenient, reloading is troublesome."
After that, he threw the gun to Zhang Biao who was standing aside.
Zhang Biao took the gun and started loading it neatly. During the loading process, many people began to calm down.
"Too slow! This gun is easy to use and powerful, but loading is troublesome. It can only be used for escorts or assassinations! There is no time to load in an emergency!"
Emperor Jing couldn't help but nodded.
He discovered this problem immediately. Handguns are very good at improving combat effectiveness, but it would be an exaggeration to say that they will change the pattern of war.
When Fang Zheng saw this, he took out the second piece from the box and showed it to everyone.
Emperor Jing couldn't help but lean forward, grabbing the armrests of the seat with both hands, and even his fingers began to turn white.
long? Spear? This gun looks more powerful than a handgun!
"This gun is called a flintlock gun, and it is far more powerful than bows and arrows! The flintlock gun can penetrate the iron armor that bows and arrows cannot penetrate!"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his hand and fired a shot at the target, then gave it to Zhang Biao to reload.
"The disadvantage is that reloading is troublesome and takes time."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes... It was more powerful than the blunderbuss, but did it still have the same shortcomings?
If this is the case, both in terms of universality and cost, it is generally inferior to bows and arrows.
The only advantage is that it is cheap to buy and anyone with long hands can use it, unlike bows and arrows which require a lot of time to practice.
The other generals also had similar expressions, and they had obviously quickly realized various problems.
There are regrets and disappointments, but it is a worthwhile trip to see such a weapon today, but unfortunately the shortcomings are a bit more serious.
Fang Zhengyi's voice was still coming unhurriedly.
"Although the flintlock gun also has the trouble of reloading, because of its long range, this shortcoming can be overcome! After the gun was successfully developed, I ordered someone to customize a tactics for it, called three-stage shooting! Come and demonstrate! "
A row of targets was brought out again, and at the same time, more than twenty Jin Yiwei from Taoyuan County came out.
Each person picked a gun and quickly lined up in front, middle and back.
The so-called three-stage shooting actually means that all shooters are divided into three teams. One team shoots, one team is on standby and ready to shoot, and one team fills the position of the top of the ammunition ready to shoot. The cycle starts over and over in an infinite loop, eliminating the blank period of filling ammunition. It eliminates the possibility of the opponent attacking and breaking through the array at close range.
Three rows of imperial guards began to shoot in sections, and for a while the sound of gunshots was heard in the camp!
It was almost as continuous as a heavy rain without stopping.
The hearts of everyone present were almost accelerated by the violent gunfire.
Both the civil servants and the generals' eyes widened, and they all stood up to watch.
Two minutes later...the shooting stopped.
The vague smell of burning gunpowder in the camp floated in everyone's noses...
Everyone's eyes were focused on the shattered arrow target.
At this time, in addition to wonder... there was also enthusiasm in his eyes!
Emperor Jing's hands were trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to take a closer look.
Suddenly, one of the ministers came out of the crowd and suddenly knelt down in front of Emperor Jing.
He clasped his fists and said excitedly: "Your Majesty! What Mr. Fang said is true, this artifact has the ability to change the pattern of war. If it is assembled in the army, or a new spear army is formed, the Northern Rong cavalry will hardly become a trouble to my great king!" "
Following closely, other military attachés came out and spoke one after another.
Fang Zheng looked around and felt a little surprised.
The leader was Song Hui, the general of the Western Expedition, Duke of Dai.
On weekdays, he didn't have much dealings with the military attachés. After all, there was always an invisible dividing line between civil and military officials. On the one hand, he was afraid of being beaten for being mean-mouthed, and on the other hand, the military attachés behaved a little strangely.
The military attache was not the careless and chatty image he had in mind on TV.
Instead, everyone was strangely silent, all looking very thoughtful. I don’t speak much on weekdays and I’m not very talkative.
People don't like to talk, so naturally he can't show his warm face to others' cold buttocks.
On the contrary, it was the civil servants who were jumping around in front of him all day long as if they had been given chicken blood.
Now that Dai Guogong was so excited at such a young age, it was quite beyond Fang Zhengyi's expectations.
Emperor Jing raised his hand and waved lightly: "Everyone, get up! Why is this a small scene? It's not decent!"
"Fang Qing, how much does a flintlock gun cost?"
Fang Zheng calmly said: "Your Majesty, there is still one thing that has not been displayed yet. Why don't you wait for me to show it to you and then answer your questions?"
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Emperor Jing nodded and sat down again.
The generals also walked back to their seats with excitement.
Seeing that order had been restored, Fang Zhengyi shouted: "Come here! Pull out the last thing!"
...
