Another winter came, and Zhao Kuo directly issued an order to make Zhao Guihe responsible for his business with Fu Chayuan.

For Zhang Yun, he was also happy and leisurely! But his leisurely life was over after all.

Just when the first snow fell in this winter, Mo San and his team finally studied the first rifled flintlock rifle.

Looking at the flintlock rifle in his hand, Zhang Yun seemed extremely excited! Especially when Mo Youcai was holding a paper bag of gunpowder and Minnie popping out, Zhang Yun's hands began to tremble.

The wisdom of the ancients was really not very powerful, or it can be said that in the current Song Dynasty, technology has reached the top of the world.

Since it was snowing, Zhang Yun had five test shots but failed to ignite them, which made Mo San and others feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the success few times have been much higher than the previous muskets without rifles, in terms of power and range.

"It's not your fault that you're waiting for the gunpowder to get wet!" Zhang Yun smiled and summarized. As soon as this statement was spoken, Mo San and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little Langjun, if you wrap gunpowder and ammunition in oil paper, as long as it doesn't rain heavily, it should not have a big impact!" Mo Youcai said his thoughts in time.

Zhang Yun agreed with this very much, but if there is no cover on rainy days, the flintlock will not fire the third shot.

"Youcai is right. Even if this gun can hit four hundred steps away, he still has weaknesses!" Zhang Yun said while repeatedly inspecting the flintlock rifle in the hand of the person.

"What is the current output?" Putting down the flintlock rifle, Zhang Yun continued the topic he was most concerned about.

Mo San’s answer next made Zhang Yun even more excited!

After using assembly line operations, the musket manufacturing started mass production at an average rate of three days.

According to Mo San and his team's proficiency, there was no big problem with one piece in three days. What really restricted the output was the casting of other components.

However, once proficiency increases, the output will not be too big a problem.

"If you can use molds on a large scale, one piece a day should not be a problem!" Zhang Yun said to himself after pondering for a while.

Now I still lack craftsmen. Although there are more than 20 people in the Mo family, if you want to mass production on a large scale, this number of people is simply not enough.

"If the government can support some craftsmen, it may be a good choice!" Suddenly, Zhang Yun suddenly realized.

However, Zhang Yun was a little overwhelmed in how to convince Zhao Kuo. Fortunately, she does not plan to have large-scale equipment at present, and at best it is just a 100-man team.

In the current Song Dynasty, among all the troops, the most difficult training is the cavalry.

A qualified cavalry, without more than three years of training, can't even be pulled on the battlefield to compete with those soldiers who grew up on horseback when they were born.

And it is impossible to achieve the level of controlling the other party's horse at will without seven or eight years.

The second is the heavy armored soldiers with long swords and big axes. Needless to mention the innate conditions, they can basically come in handy after more than half a year of training.

The second is the spearmen and swordsman who spend the least time and expenses.

Most of the wing soldiers in the Song Dynasty were composed of spearmen and swords and shields. Why? It’s cheap!

The spear head on the long wood is a long spear, plus a low-quality iron knife and a thin-skinned shield, so there are two most basic types of troops. On weekdays, it is absolutely enough to scare the people.

Although crossbow soldiers are easy to train, they are only most useful when defending.

As for heavy armored soldiers? As the name suggests, they are the most expensive troops. The state prefectures generally do not raise them. Only the elites of the court will be equipped with the sergeant armor, and the number is destined not to be large.

And the training of musketeers is much simpler!

A person who has never touched a gun can basically use it skillfully for ten or half a month. Zhang Yun's new military training method is suitable for musketeers.

If you line up and shoot, and then cooperate with the range of 400 steps, you will not be afraid even if you encounter Tiefutu.

The speed of loading has become the top priority of musketeers' training!

If you have a long and high-intensity training, it is still okay for ordinary soldiers to do four shots per minute on average.

Just imagine, with a high-precision rifled musket, you can start shooting volleys in four hundred steps. After four rounds, even the fierce cavalry may be fooled!

If you combine it with cannons, not to mention crushing, at least in the clear field battle, it would be enough to give the fierce Mongolian iron a pot.

As winter goes and spring comes, there are already a lot of reserves of muskets. Since Zhang Yun was removed from his position as governor, the army that followed him northward was disbanded.

But they had never left and were always supported by Zhang Yun's delicious food and drink.

In a valley on the northern foot of Phoenix Mountain, a team of 100 people is training nervously.

There were ten people in each row, a total of ten rows, each with a shiny flintlock rifle. Zhang Yun kept shuttled through the queue, constantly giving orders.

"Gun on the shoulder, aim!" Just this action, repeated training, but it still failed to meet Zhang Yun's requirements.

"Ergouzi, don't be so close to your eyes unless you don't want it!"

"Three points and one line, remember the distance represented on the scale!"

Half an hour later, with Zhang Yun's order, everyone knew that they would start live-fire shooting once a day!

"Be careful in the first row, go forward and enter the shooting position! The gun is on the shoulder, load, aim, and shoot!" As a series of commands were issued, everyone proceeded step by step.

Although the movements are not so neat, they are much better than half a month ago!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of explosions were heard, and smoke filled the eyes. The iron armor leaves on the target fifty steps away flew around. Since this was the power of a volley.

The flintlock rifle greatly improves its hit rate due to rifling. If you train well, it is not difficult to shoot one person at a time.

The shooting method of segmented shooting was trained as early as when using the Divine Arm Crossbow, so everyone is familiar with it.

Zhang Yun himself tested it himself. When he was the fastest, he could shoot five times in a minute, with an average of ten seconds. Thanks to the use of paper-packed fixed gunpowder, which greatly saved time.

Of course, that guy Mo Youcai actually hit eight shots in a minute, and one shot in less than eight seconds on average.

In terms of front-loading guns, such a record is absolutely unprecedented.

But this has a great relationship with a person's physique, so it can only be regarded as an exception!

Apart from live-fire shooting, Zhang Yun couldn't think of any good way to train.

Even if there are thieves in Lin'an Mansion, it is impossible for them to practice!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Another gunshot was heard. Except for a few guns that were silent and had secondary shootings, basically everyone could accurately hit targets fifty steps away.

Inspired by Zhang Yun, a scaled ruler has appeared on the flintlock rifle, which has greatly improved the students' hit rate.

The fifty-step target can achieve a score of 90%, which is much better than the Western Musketeers in later generations.

And when the target moves to a hundred steps, it still reaches an 80% hit rate!
