Zhaozhuang is just a small village.

Although compared to other villages, this village is the largest village in a radius of ten miles. It has thousands of families and a population of thousands. There is also a 1 meter-high wall, and there is a river outside the village.

However, if Zhao Zhuang is guarding against some bandits and thieves, or even guarding against a hundred Goguryeo cavalry, it would be very pale if he said he would guard against 40,000 Goguryeo cavalry.

After all, Zhaozhuang is not only the people in those thousands of villages, but also nearly 30,000 Tang soldiers.

“The weather is good.”

Li Chao was wearing iron armor and a fur outside. The Youzui in February is still very cold. Fortunately, in this rainy season, it has been sunny these days. Especially today, there is heavy fog in the morning, and now it is a big sun.

Such good weather made Li Chao sigh at his luck. To deal with 40,000 Goguryeo cavalry, the Tang army had to rely on firearms.

If it rains, it will be quite troublesome for the Tang army.

Standing on the not-so-thick wall of the village, Li Chao could see the Goguryeo outside the village clearly without a telescope.

They have reached two hundred steps away.

At this distance, there are only a few heavy crossbows in the village that can shoot at the enemy, but Li Chao's heavy crossbows are not large. If they are in Loufan Pass, these Goguryeo people dare to push so close, Li Chao would have to use thousands of heavy crossbows and thunder-throwing cars to let these sticks understand what heavy firepower is.

Unfortunately, this time, I came to help in a hurry, and there were not many heavy crossbows and artillery vehicles in the army.

These Goguryeo people are crazy and arrogant.

They surrounded Zhuangzi, as if they thought the Tang army was about to be wiped out by them.

A cavalry rode his horse forward.

The man who showed off his riding skills went around the house and then stopped twenty steps away.

"Listen to the people in the city, we, Yuan Shuai, passed the message to Li Chao, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Shuai, is also a hero of his generation and cannot bear to let him die here. Now, as long as Li Chao leads his subordinates to surrender, Yuan Shuai will definitely spare him and not die, and also guarantee the lives of these soldiers and the people in the village."

These proud words seemed to be giving alms.

Li Chao just smiled slightly when he heard this.

The Niu next to him couldn't listen to it anymore. Damn, he dared to brag about such a Niu before he could beat him.

"Get my gun!" Niu Jianhu shouted.

The personal soldiers behind him immediately took off a musket from their shoulders.

This is a clamp, a real clamp, with a bolt, a clamp ignition.

It was made by a military craftsman and took a lot of time to make it. The materials and working hours of a gun are costly. If you really think about the cost, a coercion of such a coercion can cost at least ten pieces.

It's ten-character, but it's still impossible to mass produce.

However, the cost of such a large musket also has its advantages, that is, its range is long and its accuracy is quite accurate.

This gun has a gate in the back and a sight in front. The gun is ejected, and the hands are not moved, aiming at a slight slight penis. The tube with a square inch is long and the energy gathers, which can further lead to the strength.

Compared with the three-eyed gun and the Great Wall-style fire gate gun, this bird gun has a longer body tube and a smaller diameter, and fires a round lead bullet with the same caliber as the one with a longer range and a stronger penetration force.

He didn't need a hand to ignite the fire, but the bolt fired.

The gun handle is also a curved wooden support that holds the gun barrel.

Although Niu Jianhu is a fierce man, he has a special liking for muskets.

After the experimental bird gun was made, Li Chao did not plan to produce it on a large scale, because it could not achieve cost performance and production capacity could not keep up. This is like a horse spear, and it is destined to be a weapon of a soldier.

However, seeing that Niu saw that Hu was rich, Li Chao asked the craftsmen to create a group.

Not to mention, Niu Jianhu seems to have a talent for bird guns. After practicing for a while, he can shoot and shoot birds down this new weapon that mostly relies on luck.

In the words of the ox seeing the tiger, this is nothing strange. The bow and arrow have not yet been seen in the sight of the gate, but after practicing for a long time, you can still penetrate the sun with a hundred steps. Although the musket is difficult, as long as you practice for a long time, you will naturally feel the touch. When you pick up the gun, you will naturally have a clear idea.

Seeing Niu Jianhu igniting the fuse and pinching it onto the bolt, he still kept smiling.

The Goguryeo people persuaded to surrender, but they were still so arrogant.

They may not really want to persuade the surrender, but they are actually striking the morale of the Tang army. When Niu saw the tiger holding a gun, Li Chao would not stop him. If it was really difficult to kill this Goguryeo with a shot, it would be a way to increase morale.

As for the method of fighting between the two countries and not killing them, Li Chao did not take it too seriously. This is in front of the formation, and he is not a real national envoy.

The fuse was lit, and the cow saw the tiger holding the gun body in front of one hand and holding the gun handle in the other hand.

This way of holding the gun and shooting can more stably aim with the gun and improve accuracy.

This musket is called a bird gun because it looks like a bird's beak and can also shoot birds.

This bird gun consisting of a gun barrel, gunpowder pool, bolt, sight, gun handle, etc. When used, it is pre-ignited and pulled the bolt to ignite the compacted gunpowder in the gunpowder pool. With the explosive power of gunpowder gas, the lead in the barrel is shot out and the enemy is killed.

Niu Jianhu is the number one master in using muskets under Li Chao.

It was very smooth to watch him operate the musket.

First take out a fixed-load paper bullet from the gunpowder backpack.

This is also considered the benefit brought by the time traveler Li Chao, and there is no need to take many detours. Normal musket development is initially separated by gunpowder and lead bullets. A gunpowder can be filled with gunpowder. Before firing, pour the gunpowder into the medicine tube. One medicine tube happens to fire a round of bullets, and then pour the gunpowder into the barrel from the medicine tube, then press the fire, and use the gunpowder to compact the gunpowder with the gun strip. This is also a matter of attention. It cannot be pressed too tightly or too loose, otherwise there will be problems.

Then load the bullet and compact the bullet.

To install the emitter medicine, pour another formula of the emitter medicine into the fire door of the medicine room, and then cover the fire door cover. Then install the fuse rope, install the fuse into the faucet clamp of the trigger, and prepare to ignite.

Only after completing all this can you be considered as preparation.

When shooting, you must also open the fire door cover, light the fuse, and aim at the firing in a squat or standing posture.

This was the first set of actions.

This way, the preparation time is too slow.

Therefore, Li Chao directly took the shortcut and took out the fixed loading bullet. Instead of measuring it again and again, he directly weighed the gunpowder and lead bullets and then wrapped it into a cylindrical shape with oil-soaked paper. When using this, bite it a little bit, pour the gunpowder into the barrel, and then stab the lead bullet into the barrel with a strip of strips.

This way, several steps are missing.

Even the bolt was improved. The mature automatic fire door opening and closing technology was used later. Once the trigger was hit, the fire door cover would be automatically opened. There was no need to open the fire door cover first and then pull the trigger.

The two improvements of fixed-loading paper bullets and automatic fire doors greatly reduce the preparation time for musket loading and firing. On the battlefield, this reduced time may have a decisive effect.

Load the paper bullet, pour the fire medicine into the fire gate, and breathe in one breath.

Niu Jianhu stood sideways on the wall of the village, holding the body of the rifle in front of one hand and holding the handle of the rifle in the back of the other hand. The end of the rifle is very high, and the buttstock is just pressed onto his cheek.

The Goguryeo Knight shouted below for a while, but when he saw no one in the city responded, he thought the Tang people were afraid.

He simply stood directly on the saddle, then took off his pants and peed at Tang Jun.

"I can't bear it. Since you love to reveal, I will let you lose even if you want to reveal it in the future. Everyone, I'm optimistic. I want to shoot his bird, and I won't shoot his eggs if I say I'll shoot his bird."

A group of generals and school soldiers around were laughing.

Hold your breath and calm down.

Niu saw the tiger glanced for a while, then pulled the trigger, the faucet fell down with the fuse, the fire door cover opened automatically, and the burning fuse was tied into the gunpowder pool.

Gunpowder ignites and connects to the gunpowder chamber.

There was a loud bang.

A stream of smoke came out of the mouth of the gun.

Li Chao picked up the telescope when Niu saw that Hu was about to shoot.

The telescope aimed at the ugly thing.

The Goguryeo knights were still scattering joy on their horses, and there was a constant stream of water.

Then, Li Chao saw a shadow flying, and then the man was beaten up.

Niu Jianhu said he would not beat the egg, but the gun still beat the egg too.

Only twenty steps apart, Niu Jianhu is another master of gun use. He also uses a bird gun with higher range and power. The power of the round lead bullet is very strong. The strongest thing about the lead bullet is that it is soft itself, so it has great stopping power.

After the lead bullet hits the target, it will flatten from the round lead bullet or even split when the target hits the high-speed impact and the impact of the target.

If it is a steel bullet, it may have extremely strong penetration, one hit and one eye-to-eye, but the lead bullet will not. It will create a large wound, and even the lead bullet will explode and create a terrifying spider-web-like wound.

Another point is that lead bullets are still poisonous.

When the cow saw that the tiger was really aiming at the bird, it was a pity that the bird hit the distance and it would definitely smash the egg.

Fighting.

It's a terrible sight.

Li Chao took a look and put down his telescope. This shot was not only a frightening shot, but also a Goguryeo soldier would die.

"I've hit it!"

"General Niu is mighty!"

Li Gan also put down his telescope and was still arguing.

"It's a little bit worse. The eggs are broken, and both are broken. Your marksmanship is still not enough."

The man was already dismissed and lay motionless on the ground.

Niu Jianhu picked up the Qianlijing and looked at it for a few times, his face was gloomy and stopped talking. He agreed to kill birds, but he ended up killing him.

"Damn it, this Goguryeo dog is too unbeatable."
