Please ask me to be the emperor

"Bang!" With the sound of a gun, someone in the distance had already reported the target: "Hit again!"

Wei Congyi heard the sound without any hesitation. He skillfully took out his stick and "washed the gun", then "administered medicine", "dropped lead", "sent lead", "put paper", "sent paper", "opened the door", " "Lower the line of medicine", "Close the fire door", "Setting the match rope", "Open the fire door and aim".

The eleven standard movements are performed on horseback in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Different from the imagination of most people in later generations that fire gunners in the Ming Dynasty only shot randomly. In fact, the Ming Dynasty had already summarized the eleven standard movements for the design of bird guns.

Moreover, compared with the standards of Qi Jiguang's era, there are two additional actions of "paper unloading" and "paper feeding" to increase the air tightness of the firecracker and increase the muzzle velocity of the projectile.

Only this time, Wei Congyi held up the blunderbuss and did not fire it. Instead, he quickly approached the target on horseback, reaching about twenty steps.

He picked up the blunderbuss and stretched it out from the side of the horse. His posture was quite similar to the "mane shooting" of a bow and arrow. With a "bang" sound, he shot a projectile towards the target.

"Three hits, penetrate the armor plate!" The person reporting the target quickly ran over to take a look, then took off the armor plate from the target, holding the target high and reporting the target.

"Okay, Cong Yi's skills are amazing!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but praise.

This immediately makes the bird gun seem simple. In fact, due to the bumping back and forth on the horse, both loading and shooting are quite inconvenient. Without good equestrian skills, it is impossible to complete this series of actions.

Zhang Shun was a little hesitant about this and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if other cavalry soldiers have such ability?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness King Shun!" Chen Changzhen couldn't help but smile, "Congyi and I specially found someone to try it."

"Anyone who can ride and shoot can already take his hands off the reins. Even if he changes to a gun, it only takes more than ten days of training!"

"However, the power of the three-coin bird gun is too low, which is not conducive to breaking armor; the four-coin Lumi gun is too long, and it is not conducive to charging, but accuracy wins!"

"Oh? What if it is replaced by a short-barreled heavy-loaded firecracker?" Zhang Shun thought for a while and asked.

"The three-coin bird gun can be held in the hand, and the four-coin Rumi gun can be held against the shoulder. It would be better if it was slightly modified, but too much charge is not conducive to horse fighting!" Chen Changzhen shook his head and said regretfully.

"This" Zhang Shun had studied physics in his previous life, and he understood what Chen Changzhen meant as soon as he heard it.

When the power of the fire gun is small, the recoil is also small, so the butt of the bird gun of three cents or less has a hook shape and can be held and fired.

The butt of the Lumi gun with a four-coin charge has become a later generation shoulder-butt structure, which is convenient for the body to reduce the greater recoil force.

If the caliber and charge of the blunderbuss are increased, it will certainly have greater power and be beneficial to armor-breaking, but it will not be conducive to immediate shooting because of the greater recoil produced.

"But at least the Franchise cannon can make up for it, and it can barely deal with some well-armored opponents!" Chen Changzhen added.

"Anyway, the bandits have always relied on fast horses to gallop, and their armor and weapons are short, so there is nothing to fear."

"The northern bandits take light illness as their priority, but this may not be the case for the eastern bandits!" Zhang Shun frowned and said after hearing this.

He still remembered the white-armored elites led by Dorgon. Their armor was as bright as ice and snow, even better than the Ming army. It was not something that the Taolu equipment could match.

If the rebels want to seize the world, sooner or later they will inevitably have a decisive battle with the Hou Jin Dynasty in Liaodong.

If the opponent's armor cannot be broken by then, it will be a bit troublesome.

Especially recently, Du Wenhuan's two to three hundred armored heavy infantry made Zhang Shun feel bright.

"In this way, let's go back and test it to see how effective the short-barreled large-diameter fire gun is when used on horseback, and then make further calculations!" Zhang Shun thought for a while.

Although it is not good to have too much recoil, if there is a riding gun that can break heavy armor, it will be even more prepared.

In fact, when Zhang Shun thought of this, he had a new idea.

If a double-type heavy-duty armor-piercing gun can be designed, it will greatly improve the situation of the rebels facing heavy-armored opponents.

"Your Highness King Shun, what do you think of my hands?" Wei Congyi rushed over early, holding up the blunderbuss in his hand, and said quite proudly.

"Very good!" Zhang Shun nodded and said, "I understand, you are planning to use a cannon instead of a bow, but the shooting speed will be a bit slower."

"More than just a little slow?" Wei Congyi smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Once the blunderbuss is loaded, the bow and arrow can shoot four or five arrows."

"However, the bird gun is better for one reason: it can hit far, and the other thing is that it can break armor."

"How far can it usually hit? How effective is it in breaking armor?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but ask.

"If you use the Rumi gun, according to normal standards, you can hit a person in sixty or seventy steps, and you can break armor in twenty or thirty steps." Wei Congyi said after hearing this.

"However, if you encounter fine armor, it may be difficult to shoot through even ten steps away!"

What is Jingjia?

The iron armor of the three hundred heavily armored servants under Du Hongyu's command is fine armor.

Firstly, the thickness of the nail pieces is thicker than ordinary nail pieces, and secondly, after cold forging, both the hardness and toughness of the nail pieces have been greatly improved.

Armor like this is invulnerable to swords and arrows, and it is difficult to penetrate even a four-coin Rumi gun.

If you wear a wet cotton armor or a quilt outside, you will be almost invincible.

Now that he has arrived at the school grounds, how can Zhang Shun return empty-handed?

He thought for a while and couldn't help but said to Wei Congyi: "How do you feel about using a gun on a horse? Is there anything you're not used to?"

"No, it's fine!" Wei Congyi couldn't help scratching his head when he heard this, and asked with a strange look on his face.

Come on, I think you don’t know what ergonomics and human mechanics are!

Zhang Shun was at least half a military enthusiast in his previous life. He once got into a heated argument on the Internet about the pros and cons of no support and no support.

However, in the process of chatting with each other, he casually learned that shooting small weapons requires professional knowledge in ergonomics and human mechanics.

In fact, Zhang Shun doesn’t seem to understand what “ergonomics” and “human mechanics” are.

But at least he is from the construction industry, so he has a ready reference.

For example, when designing a building, how high are the doors, how wide are the corridors, and how high are the stairs? These basic data are all designed based on human body size and structure.

So Zhang Shun took it for granted that the design of the fire gun should be like this.

With the design concept in mind, many issues that needed to be considered immediately popped up in Zhang Shun's mind.

For example, how heavy and long the fire gun is to facilitate carrying, where the center of gravity is to facilitate shooting, and how much recoil the fire gun can bear within the range of the soldiers.

The structure of the gun butt is convenient for soldiers to use it, the total length of the gun is convenient for hand-to-hand combat, arraying, how to ignite the match rope to make it shine in the soldiers' eyes, and so on.

Just do it if you want to. Zhang Shun couldn't help turning his head to Chen Changzhen and asked: "Are there carpenters and blacksmiths in the city? Find me a few, I will be of great use!"
