Chapter 323
Yang Yichuan was a little relieved when he saw the musket.
Yang Tianci said to Yang Yichuan with a happy face, "Okay, I heard that this musket camp has only been trained for one month and has reached this level?"
Yang Yichuan also said, "It must be more than once. He only trained seriously for one month. He will definitely have some training until now. This is three or four months, right?"
"That's amazing, it doesn't take much arm strength to shoot so far, it's powerful, but it's much easier than archers to cultivate. But isn't this musket also consumes a lot?"
"Is this consumed? Fortunately, the most important thing now is the time-consuming. Although the production part is made by craftsmen relying on machines, it is still very troublesome, so I have already thought about researching more efficient production methods."
"Okay, let it go. I also know that the burden on you is very heavy, but don't forget that there are royal blood flowing on you. More guns will probably lead to less blood and sacrifice of soldiers, and the people will live safer, do you know?"
"Don't worry, Father, although I'm lazy and like to be lazy, I have never slacked off in some things."
"Well, it's not bad. Diligent and motivated, I am the best man in my Yang family."
Yang Yichuan was praised, but then, Yang Yichuan suddenly asked, "Yichuan, how does this musket work in riding a horse?"
"The effect is not very good during horse riding, so this musket is still suitable for infantrymen, using a large number of musket personnel to advance step by step."
"Doesn't that mean that this musket still has great flaws? It's inconvenient to use during riding a horse, so the effect will definitely decrease a lot." After Yang Tianci received Yang Yichuan's answer, he was also worried. Such flaws may be fatal.
"Father, I know what you are worried about, and the flaws exposed by the musket. But have your father ever thought about the way to fight muskets, is it to rush forward with the musket? Although the soldiers in the musket camp have received close-up training, they will definitely not be able to beat Kitahara people in close combat."
"Yes, this musket has such a big flaw. What should I do when facing the cavalry of the Kitahara people?"
"I thought the musket was already very good, but I didn't expect there would be such flaws."
"It seems that this musket has no substantial effect, it is still not as good as a bow and arrow."
Yang Yichuan was not panicked at all. He let them talk about these comments. After muskets are truly called the standard equipment for infantry, these people will realize that they are short-sighted.
"Ichichuan, don't you have anything to say?"
Yang Yichuan smiled and said, "Father, are you trying to make the musket battalion more versatile? Since muskets have advantages, why not play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses? Instead, choose a weaker combat method? As for the combat method of the musket battalion, I now have some ideas. Next, I need to discuss the feasibility of this combat plan with several generals in the court."
"Actually, besides this musket, I have two other things to offer to my father, which are to make up for this defect." Yang Yichuan also took out the gun from his body as he spoke, of course it was an empty gun, without the kind of bullet loading.
"Does the Father know what this is?"
Yang Tianci looked at the pistol in Yang Yichuan's hand and naturally saw the clues. They were somewhat similar to muskets, but they were much smaller.
"This is also a musket?"
"Yes, this one, I call it a pistol. It is very small and convenient to carry. It can naturally be fired when riding a horse. If there is a more powerful equestrian, it is not impossible to use one hand and one pistol, but the distance of this pistol is closer than that of a musket."
"This can be said to be the first pistol. If the father wants me, I can give it to the father. There is no bullet loading in it. Because this is a bit lethal, I usually manage the bullets and guns separately."
"Take it to me." Yang Tianci took the pistol and played with it for a while. Fortunately, Yang Yichuan didn't load bullets or something in it, otherwise this way of playing would be really dangerous. Not only the people around him, but even himself were in danger.
"Father, there are no bullets in this gun. If you load the bullets, the way you took the gun just now is too dangerous. Not only are we dangerous, but you are all dangerous."
"Why didn't you, you guy?"
Yang Yichuan also smiled, "I know there are no bullets inside, so there will be no danger. Next, I will come to you to use it, but the next time you will need a relatively empty place."
"Okay, I'll try shooting a target."
Under Yang Yichuan's guidance, he loaded the bullets and then pulled the safe to shoot. The movement was still very smooth, but the final result was very unsatisfactory and he didn't hit the target.
"It's quite simple, but the hit rate is a bit worse. I like this very much, so I stayed."
"Father, after training this pistol, the accuracy will increase. This pistol makes up for the heavy musket and cannot be fired immediately. In addition, there is also a weapon."
"And? What's it like?"
Yang Yichuan continued, "Father, I believe I know the power of this cannon, and I also know the explosive pack, right?"
"This firearms bureau has been produced and played a great role in fighting against the Kitayuan people. I naturally know. Is it related to these two?"
"It's almost the same."
After Yang Yichuan answered, he continued, "The Musket Battalion is very afraid of the cavalry of the Beiyuan people's rushing in, because after the cavalry rushed in, the Musket Battalion could not fire at will. It was surrounded by its own people, and it was likely that it would accidentally injure teammates. Therefore, the Musket Battalion can dig trenches first, and the soldiers of the Musket Battalion hide in the trenches to fight, and the trenches will affect the cavalry of the Beiyuan people. In addition, explosives and artillery can suppress the cavalry at a long range."
"When the cavalry of the Beiyuan people is approaching, this is a relatively close weapon that can explode, throw bullets with your hands. Throw it out with your hands. In this way, the distance will be closer, but it can also deal with the few cavalry that the Beiyuan people rushed in."
After hearing this, Yang Tianci was a little confused, "What does this trench look like? Has this hand thrown bullet made?"
"Hand throwing bullets is still being studied and produced, and it is estimated that they will succeed next year. As for the trench, it is a deep ditch that is almost as wide as this. Soldiers can lie down and fight like this. This width can also allow soldiers to move quickly and quickly."
Yang Yichuan was still talking while gesturing, and the people around him were also confused.
Yang Tianci simply waved his hand, "Continue to study this kind of hand throwing bullets, trenches, etc. You can dig them out first, and introduce them later to see the function of this trench."
Yang Tianci finally made the decision, and Yang Yichuan could have done these things again.
"Yes, I didn't expect this musket to have such power. And this pistol, hand-dumping bullets, are all good things. For such good things, the more you can get."
