Chapter 733 Sword Gate Pass

Zhu Cixuan now has a musket team of more than 5,000 people. For this era, it can be said that he has the ability to turn the world around.

Although the Ming Dynasty developed well in the firearms and even had the Shenji Camp, it was far inferior to the flintlock rifle in terms of range accuracy and power operation.

Zhu Cilang's improved flintlock rifle was the pinnacle of the Black Powder Age. After that, the invention of smokeless gunpowder truly entered modern and modern warfare.

The flintlock rifle has accurate shooting accuracy, great power, and easy to load. These are deadly for enemies mainly composed of cold weapons.

Perhaps, the musket team with hundreds of people can't tell anything. The musket team with thousands of people is a nightmare in the era of cold weapons.

Zhu Cilang has more than 5,000 musket teams in Huben Camp. Looking at the whole world, it is not an exaggeration to say that no one is his opponent.

More importantly, the flintlock rifles in the military battle have entered the mass production stage. Next, more flintlock rifles will be equipped with the army.

Zhu Cilang slightly improved the gold ratio of black gunpowder, which made the power of gunpowder soar, and the lead bullets of flintlock rifles opened mountains and cracked stones.

The storage and transportation of gunpowder is also a big problem. What black gunpowder fears the most is moisture, and it must be moisture-proof.

In addition, the firing speed of the flintlock rifle also determines the effect on the battlefield. Zhu Cixuan thought of many ways to improve the launch efficiency.

Zhu Cixuan took the battlefield of the 18th century and equipped each soldier with a cow horn powder barrel.

First of all, the cow horn powder barrel is made locally simple. In the Ming Dynasty, where farming is the main focus, cow horns can be said to be everywhere. This kind of cow horn is easy to use, but the important thing is that it has excellent moisture-proof effect.

The best choice for the reloading of the rifle gunpowder of the flintlock rifle is to be waterproof and easy to load the gunpowder, and bend the horn-shaped horns. It can keep the gunpowder fully dry, and the moisture-proof effect is still excellent even on rainy days.

Remove the horn plug and pour the gunpowder into the ammunition box. The precise ammunition box is then pour the gunpowder into the musket, tamp it with the gun bar. Put the lead bullet and pull the trigger...

If you choose a cow horn without cracks or structural defects, it can be made simply after polishing. The natural hollow structure is the most suitable for storing ammunition.

The cattle horn shell is relatively solid and moisture-proof, so it is ideal to choose cattle horns as containers for gunpowder.

The flintlock rifle clamps a piece of flint on the jaw of the hammer, and a one-strike anvil is installed beside the fire transmission hole. When shooting, the trigger is pulled. Under the action of the spring, the flint is heavily hit by the fire door, sparks appear, and the gunpowder is fired. It greatly simplifies the shooting process, improves the fire rate and shooting accuracy, is easy to use, and is low in cost, making it easy to mass production.

The flintlock rifle has been equipped in the European army for more than 200 years, which shows how powerful and efficient this weapon is.

The Hu Ben Army has five thousand flintlock rifles, and once they fight, it will be a nightmare for the enemy.

Few of the bandits know about muskets. Not to mention these powerful flintlock rifles.

Many people have never seen cannons. Except for veterans, veterans who have seen the power of cannons are full of fear.

The major breakthrough in the craftsmanship of the flintlock rifle was made by Bi Maokang, who was summoned by Zhu Cilang, who made great contributions.

Bi Maokang and Johnson Tang studied the principle of flintlock fire proposed by Zhu Cilang day and night. After finally achieving a huge breakthrough, the production process was improved.

In fact, in his book "Military Arts Description", Bi Maokang has long introduced the self-generated musket. The device for ignitioning with a flint to use flint as a fire device, thus overcoming the weakness of ignitioning with a flint on the flint. When the flint-lock rifle is placed on the flint device to launch a flint on the fire device, the archer pulls the trigger, and the tap on the trigger is roughly the same as that of Europe. However, it has not been promoted in time in China.

As the saying goes, there are always horses that are thousands of miles apart, but there are not. Bi Maokang's great invention was almost submerged in the long river of history.

It was Zhu Cixuan who tried his best to disagree and found this person and invited Bi Maokang to advance to the war. This made him put what he learned into practice.

Jianmen Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and one man should be the pass and ten thousand men cannot open. Li Dingguo was ordered to garrison this, which caused Zhu Cixuan's 12th Regiment Battalion to attack Sichuan.

At this time, Zhu Cilang took only four people and arrived outside Jianmen Pass.

The close follower, the descendant of the sons and grandson Wangcai, secretly guarding Meng Fanchao. In addition, it was the military advisors Li Yan and Song Xiance. At the critical moment, Li Yan and Song Xiance could help a lot.

Jianmen Pass is famous for "Jiange is magnificent and towering, and one man is at the pass, but ten thousand men cannot open" in "The Road to Shu" by a great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty.

The broken place of Jianmen Mountain is the cliffs on both sides, and the sky is straight into the sky, and the peaks are leaning against the sky like swords; the cliffs are broken and the two walls are opposite, and their shape is like gates, so it is called "Sword Gate". It enjoys the reputation of "Sword Gate is dangerous in the world".

When Zhuge Liang was appointed as the prime minister of Shu Han, he saw a pavilion between the Great Jianshan Mountains and saw a thirty miles of pavilion. He also saw a wall at the middle of Dajian Mountain with a thousand blades high. A line was opened in the sky, so he built a stone here as a barrier, called Jiange, also known as Jiange Pass. Later, Zhuge Liang went to Qishan five times and Jiang Wei made an eleventh northern expedition to the Central Plains, and they all passed here.

Jianmen Pass is the throat of entering Shu, a military city, and has become a must-fight place for military strategists in history. For more than 1,700 years, Jianmen Pass Building has been repeatedly built and destroyed, and has been repeatedly destroyed.

After the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Jianmen Pass.

For a long time, there were three main roads from Bashu south of Hanzhong: Jinniu Road, Micang Road and Litchi Road. Jinniu Road was the most convenient road, which could directly reach Chengdu, the core city of Shu. Jianmen Pass guards the throat of Jinniu Road and is a well-deserved northern gateway to Shu. Jianmen Pass was broken and Shu did not exist. There has always been a saying that "the victory of Jianmen Pass is like getting Sichuan."

How difficult is Jianmen Pass to attack? Looking at the entire Chinese history, Jianmen Pass has not yet been recorded as being broken from the front. During the Three Kingdoms period, Jiang Wei of Shu Han led an army of 30,000 to defend Jianmen Pass and successfully resisted the crazy attack of tens of thousands of troops led by General Zhong Hui, the general of Zhenxi of Wei.

The Jianmen Pass, which Li Dingguo stationed in, could completely resist the strong attack of Zhu Cixuan's 12th Regiment Battalion.

As a powerful general under Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo led the way in war and had strict military disciplines. He even shared joys and sorrows with his soldiers and was deeply loved by his subordinates.

Zhang Xianzhong's army was uneven, and these bandits had no restrictions. When they became arrogant, the people suffered a lot.

Only the army with Li Dingguo can be said to have done nothing. Zhang Xianzhong is known as the Eight Kings. When the people of Sichuan heard that it was the Eight Kings, they would often feel frightened. When they heard that it was Li Dingguo, they immediately felt relieved.
