A distance of 150 feet is almost the limit of a musket. In this regard, even the most refined firearm forged by the Mu family in Yunnan is difficult to produce any damage at this distance.

The Nanjing Making Bureau’s firearm has an approximately effective range of about eighty steps, that is, forty feet. Within this range, the power of the firearm is maximized, and can easily break the armor and effectively attack.

Of course, if you reach a distance of 80 to 100 feet, the musket can barely have some attack power. Although it cannot reach the effective range, once it is shot out and shot away, it can always hit the target by accident, causing some damage to the cavalry team.

However, this approach is obviously unwise. Because of the cumbersome loading of muskets, they often take turns to shoot once in a minute, and the impact of cavalry is extremely fast. In this case, it is obviously unwise to shoot outside the effective range.

But now, this team of muskets has completed an incredible move.

They started shooting one hundred and fifty feet away, and it was obvious that this was much longer than the killing distance used by the Ming army.

One hundred and fifty feet, almost even the other person's figure was blurred, and such a distance was almost scattered.

But, it actually broke the armor!

Everyone exclaimed, even those who were not familiar with this knowledge clearly knew how terrifying the power of these muskets were.

Zhu Neng couldn't help but tense his nerves, and his whole body was tense like a leopard. He looked at the musket team and stared at the muskets. The magical weapons were indeed magical weapons. Zhu Neng was a person who knew the goods. At the critical moment of the southern expedition, he had been frowning and worried about the southern expedition. Now, he realized something and captured a trace of things.

What a terrible musket this is, 150 zhang can even exert its power. Although it is not an effective range, although the accuracy is far insufficient at this distance, and the wheel shoots down, it will only hurt a few cavalry. However, it is extremely amazing to be able to exert such an effect at such a distance and knock those knights wrapped in heavy armor off the horse. He kept thinking in his mind. If the Ming army's muskets could be exerted to this level... no, it would be impossible. Even a range of 100 zhang would not be able to achieve such an effect. If the opponent was just a civilian, perhaps such a purposeless random shooting could be accidentally injured. But what if the armor was a result? Fifty zhang... sixty zhang... at most... seventy zhang. If seventy zhang could be achieved, it would be extraordinary.

Zhu Neng couldn't believe it. He squinted his eyes and felt that his throat was blocking his breathing, so that although he had a lot of scheming in his chest, no matter how calm he was, he became less calm at this time.

In my ears, countless people were whispering in whispering. Everyone was shocked. Each of them looked cold and had a blue face.

This is not their surprise expression of Hao Fenglou, and they have any malicious intentions. Although many people have such thoughts, most people are asking each other what such a firearm means.

The only one who was indifferent was Zhu Di. Zhu Di's eyes were half open and half closed, pretending to be calm.

In fact, Zhu Di felt a bit of apology towards Hao Fenglou. Muskets are good muskets, and there is no need to doubt this. If you can trick out such muskets, Zhu Di naturally looks up to Hao Fenglou a little bit. But the problem is that your good musket does not play the greatest role, letting the opponent enter your range and then hit back, instead wasting a round of shooting far away from the range, just to kill a few cavalry. This is obviously a huge waste, because by the time you load the gunpowder, the opponent has already killed him.

A panacea like Zhu Di who has experienced many battles, seeing Hao Fenglou has such a good magic weapon, but he has made such stupid tactics. He can't help but get angry. This is a pig, and he doesn't understand such a simple truth. He is really a tragic death!

But as the emperor, he naturally could not be furious. He could only keep a smile, make a calm look, raise his hands and feet, just like an old monk. But the torment in his heart made him want to throw the teacup he held in his hand into pieces.

After one round of shooting, the cavalry obviously encountered a slight setback. Several people landed on the ground and dismounted, causing the formation to become disordered. The cavalry behind had to slow down and flew past the people who fell from the front.

In other words, this slight pause slowed down a little.

Fortunately, Zhu Quan was not in a hurry. Although he encountered a small blow, he felt relieved. He could already realize that the opponent's musket was indeed sharp, but Hao Fenglou was definitely a newbie. It was simply stupid to shoot at this range.

There are still hundreds of feet, and as long as you rush over, you can kill them without leaving them.

Zhu Quan yelled: "Kill!"

The angry Duoyan Three Guards Cavalry Team not only did not weaken, but was even more excited. They were like tigers falling from the mountain, holding up their long swords, bursting out with roars, and their eyes turned red, constantly urging their horsepower to the limit.

More than forty cavalrymen were like rolling rivers, getting closer and closer, and finally clearly appeared in front of the musketeers.

At this time, everyone looked ahead, and everyone could see the opponent's clear facial features. Everything that was originally unreal has now become so real.

Hao Fenglou was calm and calm. After the first round of shooting, he began to gain confidence. Now, he stood still with the imperial knife in his hand. The commanders behind him kept beating the drums, but this time, the rhythm of the drums changed again.

The musketeers in the back team had already started to load gunpowder and projectiles. What made everyone feel incredible was that they were very familiar with loading gunpowder. Everyone's palms flew and took out a small grease bag from their waists. That's right, it was wrapped in oil paper, like a wax ball, and stuffed it directly from the front of the musket into the musket.

The onlookers were confused when they saw it.

The muzzle of the musket is so long, shouldn't the gunpowder be poured in? Why should it be wrapped in oil paper and then filled in?

These oil paper bags are almost the same size. Once stuffed into the pipe of the musket, the musketmen immediately pulled out a pipe from their waists.

The pipe is several feet long, and the top is similar to a soft ball. After the oil paper bag wrapped in gunpowder and lead balls were stuffed in, the musketeers directly stuffed the pipe into the muzzle, pushed it in, and pulled it out.

At this point, the entire musket was filled, which took only more than twenty seconds.

The loading action was completed in a short period of time, which made people shocked again.

The advantages and disadvantages of muskets are very obvious. The advantage is that their power is greater than that of bows and arrows, and the disadvantage is that their loading is a bit complicated. In the Ming army, the loading of muskets takes about two minutes. Hao Fenglou asked those muskets to train and train these muskets. If they use the muskets of the Ming army, the loading time will probably take one minute and twenty seconds.

Although the skilled musketeer greatly reduced the loading time, it was obviously not enough. It was impossible to complete the second round of shooting in one minute and twenty seconds and be disbanded by the cavalry team.

But now it is actually twenty seconds, which has been reduced by three-quarters of the time.

The knowledgeable person exclaimed again, how did this... do it?

But only Hao Feng was like Qiushui, with a calm face. He knew in his heart that to achieve this speed, in addition to practicing these musketeers to the death, the most important thing was to improve the loading technology.

For example, the oil paper bag greatly reduces the time for filling gunpowder. The same amount of gunpowder is wrapped with oil paper soaked in lard, making it very convenient to fill it.

Of course, the oil paper bag can only increase the loading time by twenty seconds at most. If you only use the oil paper bag, the speed of filling gunpowder will take at least one minute. One minute is too long on the battlefield in an instant.

And the powerful tool that really greatly improves the loading speed is that long tube - the iron strip.

The iron wire strip is actually very simple in structure. It is actually a very simple piston tool. It is just used to stuff gunpowder from the muzzle into the back seat. However, its appearance is definitely a leap in the history of firearm utilization.

In later generations, the general loading speed in the European continent was about one minute. After that, the Prussians took the lead in using the iron rod, increasing the speed of loading gunpowder by two to three times, and quickly achieved a brilliant victory in the war. From then on, before the smoothbore musket was replaced by the rear-loading gun, the iron rod became one of the main accessories that the various teams competed to equip.

Now, the iron wire strips appear here, and the loading speed completed in two minutes has been reduced to one-sixth.

After the musketeers in the current platoon fired their guns, smoke was still spreading, and the opponent's cavalry still sprinted forward with a scream. The musketeers who had already prepared in the second team were ready were ready. With the sound of drums, they quickly passed the front team and raised the muskete.

It took only more than twenty seconds to go, and the iron cavalry on the opposite side only rushed forward for more than thirty feet, and there was still a hundred feet away.

"Shoot!" Hao Fenglou's face showed a bit of ferocious look, and there was a deep murderous aura in his eyes.

The picture shows how to harvest it, and it is finally time to endure this breath for so long, and it is time to exhale.

Since you are going to kill me, let you know today that I will still stand here, and you, no matter you are a noble man or a bullshit, can only crawl and moan!

"Bang bang bang bang..."
