#1211 live ammunition training
"Your Majesty, this is the barrel, cast with fine iron like cannons, five feet long... This is the butt stock. When firing, you must press it on the shoulder hole... Here is the sight. Close one eye and align it with the sight and aim at the shooting target... This is the trigger... This is the hammer... Below I will demonstrate to Your Majesty and you the shooting method and effect of the Taiyi God Musket..."
Surrounded by a group of people, Chen Xu roughly introduced the structure of the musket, and then asked a boy to take a bamboo tube filled with gunpowder. He skillfully loaded the ammunition under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, and then he walked to the open space to stand. At this time, a boy had already raised a wooden target thirty feet away, and like the target, he also drew circles of eye-catching signs with red paint.
"Crack~" Chen Xu pried open the hammer, then calmly raised the musket, and aimed at the wooden target thirty feet away in a relatively standard standing shooting posture.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Chen Xu.
The Taiyi God Musket and Taiyi God Thunder have long been famous all over the world, but very few have actually seen it.
In addition to the group of young men in the musket team that followed Chen Xu, only Yu Wuya and Xia Zijin have used it outsiders. Although Ying Shiman and Meng Wan knew that Chen Xu would carry a musket on his body every day when he went out, they only knew that it was Chen Xu's protective magic weapon, so they never dared to ask too much, and they didn't even dare to touch it, for fear of destroying the magic weapon, causing Chen Xu to be injured when using it. Shui Qingrou knew more, but she was not interested. He was different from Yu Wuya, so she still prefers swordsmanship.
Since the musket was invented and made, Chen Xu has not used it several times. One is because he was afraid of unstable blowing the chamber to kill him, and the other is that the sound was too loud and he had to run away from the wilderness. He had no time or interest. After all, in his opinion, the earth gun was completely unavailable to use the firearm.
If you use it less, you will naturally not be proficient.
In the strong sunlight, Chen Xu raised the musket with both hands and aimed at the wooden target with one eye. The barrel was too heavy, causing it to shake slightly. After several seconds of aiming, Chen Xu gently pulled the trigger.
"Boom~~"
A fire-light smoke spurted out from the muzzle. Chen Xu trembled slightly and put down the muzzle. The boy hiding in a pit not far from the wooden target quickly jumped out and ran over to watch it. After shouting, "Stap the wooden target, with seven bullets, the highest fifth ring!"
"Huh~" Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and hit the wooden target in the first shot. It seemed that he was not particularly unfamiliar.
The sound and movement of the musket are small compared to the cannon and can be ignored. Therefore, almost no one has changed much of the mood of this gunshot. Many people even looked dull and were asking why the people next to them did not hear the sound.
These inaudible guys are all the pussy that did not block their ears when they fired the artillery just now. They are temporarily deaf. If they are on the battlefield where artillery fire is endless, it is not surprising that they will break the eardrum and become deaf.
In the following time, Chen Xu arranged a group of young men from the musket team to lead a group of civil and military officials to explain the structure of the musket, demonstrate how to clean the barrel and load ammunition, as well as the shooting methods and rules that must be followed when shooting, etc. Chen Xu personally acted as a shooting coach for the top nobles of the Qin Dynasty, including the First Emperor and Feng Quji, Mengyi, Zhao Hai, etc.
After the introduction, live training will be done.
Ten red wooden targets were erected thirty feet away, ten feet apart from each other, and ten muskets were loaded with the help of the young man and Chen Xu.
Qin Shihuang followed Chen Xu's appearance and held up the musket with both hands. Chen Xu stood beside him and gave careful guidance.
"First open the hammer... The stock must be firmly pressed on the shoulder socket... Close the left eye, and the right eye's eyes can aim at the center of the wooden target through the ruler gap and the sight gap... The body must be stable, and the barrel must not shake... After aiming, pull the trigger..."
"Boom~"
After some guidance, Emperor Qin Shi suppressed the excitement in his heart and pulled the trigger. Under the impact of recoil, his body staggered back two steps, but soon stabilized his body. He put down the musket and said in surprise: "No wonder my dear repeatedly emphasized holding on to the butt stock. The recoil force is indeed very large. If you are not careful, you may be knocked to the ground."
"What Your Majesty said is, but after getting used to it, there is almost no effect..."
"No target~~"
Just as Chen Xu was talking to the emperor, the boy in the distance who was responsible for checking the wooden target reported the shooting results loudly.
"Shame!" The First Emperor shook his head with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be cared about. This Taiyi God Musket needs repeated training to hit the target, just like a bow and arrow. Its power is not greater than a bow and arrow, but it is better to save effort. Even if the arm strength is not enough, it can be used easily. This is the excellent characteristic of a firearm. If Your Majesty likes it, you will definitely become a sharpshooter. You will definitely gain a lot of money when hunting in autumn and winter. I will teach Your Majesty to load ammunition..."
Chen Xu smiled and comforted her, while taking out a bamboo tube with fixed gunpowder and iron sand.
"Come on, take the tripod!" After loading the ammunition, Chen Xu asked someone to bring a simple tripod made of three pieces of wood to guide the First Emperor to shoot the musket on the tripod.
"Boom~~" After a moment, the First Emperor pulled the trigger again. This time, because of the good stability, two iron bombs were on the target, which immediately seduced the First Emperor's interests.
After the First Emperor's two trials, Meng Yifeng Quji, Zhao Hai, Zhao Wei and other kings and princes could not help but itchy. They picked up muskets and started their first live-fire training under the guidance of a group of teenagers.
A group of officials in the newspaper office, including Chen Ping and Fu An, had never seen a musket, but as a prominent official in the Third-Class Office, he was also caught between a group of senior executives and lined up to test the gun. Only Hu Kuanmagan and Gongshusheng and others stood beside him and pointed. Seeing a senior official off-target and making a fool of himself, he burst into laughter from time to time.
They had seen muskets and artillery four years ago, and they had trained on the sea. Therefore, they would not join in the fun of a few people using a gun. What's more, the Qinghe Hou had already said a few days ago that he was planning to open a shooting training ground to provide a professional venue for kings, princes, ministers and wealthy merchants to learn about Taiyi God Muskets. In the future, they could go to the shooting ground to train at any time.
From the end of the morning until noon, for two hours, the gunshots at the shooting range have never stopped, and they have resounded for dozens of miles in a radius like fried beans. From time to time, a certain official shot at the high ring and there will be a burst of warm cheers together, and the scene is so lively.
The First Emperor and a group of princes and princes were reluctant to leave and go home. After exhausting all the ammunition brought by Chen Xu, he was still unwilling to rest. Chen Xu simply took out the grenades and asked the young man in the musket team to demonstrate the throwing of the grenades.
Grenades were thrown into the shooting range filled with wooden stakes and millet grass men. Accompanied by the deafening explosion, mud and sand shot up in an instant. Under the violent explosion impact and the destruction of gravel shrapnel, the wooden stakes and millet grass men around the bombing positions broke and fell down, and millet grass flew all over the sky. The whole scene was extremely shocking. All the onlookers looked dull and their bodies shivered with explosions.
After the grenade demonstration, even though today's firearm performance came to an end, looking at the still reluctant expression of Emperor Qin Shi, Chen Xu had to take out the last thing.
"Your Majesty, I have specially prepared two improved versions of Taiyi God Muskets for you. Although they are not very powerful, they are better than small and exquisite. You can take them back to the palace and use them to practice gun techniques in your spare time!"
Chen Xu took out two exquisitely made leather hoods, two upgraded pistols inserted into them, and taught Qin Shihuang to cross and straddle them across his body, and secure them with a leather belt.
A First Emperor wearing a black dragon robe, wearing a sky-summit, but with two pistols crossed, his face showed a hint of inviolable majesty in surprise, and he looked like a mess of time and space.
"Tsk tsk, Your Majesty's outfit is extremely heroic and has a majestic murderous aura!" Chen Xu looked at the First Emperor dressed up by himself, a strange creator, and then looked up and down to praise him. After he began to teach the First Emperor how to open the leather hood and draw the gun and insert it.
While Chen Xu was arming Qin Shihuang, a large group of kings, princes and ministers stood beside him and looked at him without blinking.
Not to mention the harmonious and unprepared relationship between the emperor and the Marquis of Qinghe, I even envied these two improved versions of Taiyi God Muskets that were so sophisticated and exquisite, just looking at the leather case.
Needless to say, this gun should be the latest immortal magic weapon specially customized for the First Emperor by Qinghehou, and no one else can do it.
"This improved version of the magic musket is indeed very small and exquisite. Master, please teach me how to use it!" Qin Shihuang tossed and turned around and played with these two heavy, small and exquisite pistols, and his excitement was beyond words.
"Your Majesty, this small musket is called a pistol. It has a more complex and exquisite structure and is very difficult to build. I have made these two guys at the moment. Today I am dedicated to Your Majesty for contact and self-defense. The usage is different from the Taiyi God Musket just now, and the operation is simpler. Please see that this is the bullet bay... This is the insurance... This is the bolt..."
Chen Xu held another pistol in his hand, and demonstrated while explaining. He skillfully opened the bullet cabin to fill in the bullet. After closing the bullet cabin, he pulled the bolt back with a click, then raised his hand to aim at a wooden target ten feet away, aimed slightly, and then shot.
"Ba~"
Amid the crisp gunshots, a faint blue smoke spewed out from the muzzle. The boy responsible for observing the wooden target quickly reported his grades, the Second Ring Road.
Chapter completed!
