In this era, the weapons used by soldiers are related to invention, science and advancedness.

In most cases, intentional technology blockade is useless. The sea connects the countries in the world. It is difficult for people to have any new single-soldier weapons that cannot be seen at first. As long as others see it, it will be easily imitated.

Although artillery and warships are still high-end technology, muskets are really nothing. Most countries in the world can make them as long as they get one shot.

The Yuan Dynasty improved the storm guns of the Song Dynasty into muskets. The earliest snake-rod fire door guns were improved by the Czechs, and even the combs and flintlock guns had nothing to do with the Iberian Peninsula, but they were countries with a large number of combs. Why?

He needs it, and he has money.

This is why Puli County sailors have particularly many three-eyed guns, because this is a standard weapon of the previous generation of the Ming Dynasty. It has a large number of manufacturing. Objectively, it has a short range, weak killing, and suitable for both medium and near, with less labor hours and cheap cost. In terms of environment, it has a certain threat to the barbarian barbarian and Altan's leather cavalry. For cavalry equipped, it is the best single-soldier firearm for the united troops under the bad financial situation of the Jiajing Dynasty.

However, the internal finance and external environment have changed. The domestic use of flint bird guns to replace the old firearms, fast guns, three-eyed guns, and a large amount of silver. The goods flowed into the Central Plains and were supplied to the court to gradually replace all individual firearms with flintlock bird guns.

A large number of mechatronic bird guns are given priority to vassal states and immigrants for their own use. What about the three-eyed guns that were replaced?

Maritime business.

Although domestic military equipment workshops usually do not accept sea merchants to purchase firearms, sea merchants still have many ways to get firearms.

First of all, there are many businessmen who are in charge of foreign officials these days. Most of them have been donating silver to the emperor and donating goods to the emperor. It is easy to talk to the yamen. It is not a problem to get some firearms to go to sea to defend themselves. However, this path is generally less expensive, and it is not as good as purchasing from the Nanyang Military Mansion and the Dongyang Military Mansion after going to sea.

The West is not good, but it is not enough to use Western firearms by themselves. Yin Zhengmao attaches importance to trade routes and taxes, and does not value merchants. He especially dislikes merchants doing evil overseas. He has had enough of Lin Afeng to let him wipe his butt.

Chen Lin from Nanyang and Chen Mu from Dongyang sells things that are indeed well-made and large in quantity. As long as you register and comply with the regulations, it is no problem to sell hundreds of old guns at a time.

But these two people were so mean and the price they wanted was too high. Selling them to Yin Zhengmao was the same price, selling them to the country’s central guard was the same price, selling them to the vassal states was the same price, and selling them to the sea merchants was the same price.

To put it bluntly, their brain circuits are different from others. When others think of selling guns, they think of artificial rebellion that buys guns. These two military officials are a systematic strategic guiding ideology. When they think of selling guns, they think of artificial rebellion that buys guns - don't be afraid.

Anyway, if you hold the Military Weapon Bureau, you can sell the raw materials and silver you earned from a hundred flint guns, which can allow the Military Weapon Bureau to rebuild 200 flint guns, twenty Franchise small cannons, forty Zhenshuo General Cannons, two 400-material shark boats, and also cultivate a skilled craftsman in the industrial chain.

If you rely on these weapons to arm a team of 100-man bird guns, the Nanyang Army will immediately add two gunboats and two hundred flag troops.

Rebellion, make trouble; make trouble, make trouble.

Even if you call yourself a king overseas, you have to come back and call yourself a father.

Just Chen Lin, if you want to divide the land of Nanyang into one acre of three parts, even if you call it to the court, Chen Lin, you won’t be upset. Chen Lin is eager to be called king, and then raise the banner and try to settle the Central Plains north.

After sending troops to suppress the enemy, wouldn’t the arms be returned to Chen Lin and sold to the next company? It was simply a perpetual motive for reaping wealth.

The arms composition of merchants who seek life in the East generally comes from the Nanyang Military Palace and the Dongyang Military Palace. Due to their environment, the three-eyed gun is more popular than the mechatronic bird gun.

There are very few people wearing heavy armor on the ship, with Franco cannons from a distance. Most sailors have not received military training and may not be able to hit the ball accurately with bird guns.

Of course, if you can't use a bird gun, you can't use a three-eyed gun. You can have at least three launch opportunities for loading ammunition once, maybe the people next to you can get it right.

This is the case in Pride City now.

The Englishman worked hard and pushed the three-story siege car with a city ladder to approach the city. The recruiting soldiers hidden in the skinned and thick wooden cart turned the winch and laid the city ladder on the city little by little. Under the leadership of the team of knights, entourages and veterans, hundreds of recruiting soldiers were waiting to siege the city.

The stone throwing cart that was nervously made was not effective, and six irregularly shaped round stones were thrown out one after another, and only one hit the city wall. At that moment, it seemed that the entire city wall was shaking, but in fact it only left slight cracks.

As for other stone bullets, they were smashed into the city, and no one knew whether they had killed or injured the enemy. But even if they were injured, the stone bullets weighing forty or fifty kilograms were extremely killing and injured in the army. Whether they were hit on houses or land, they would fall into a big pit. Only the unlucky ghosts who were really hit would die in a bad life.

If you really want to open a gap in the city wall, you may have to use the ancient methods of climbing the city.

Several Franco cannons under the city quickly bombarded the siege car when they were lowered to the siege ladder. The noble who was in charge of the artillery carried a helmet decorated with lion heads, urging the gunners to repeatedly fire, clean up and load. He was a noble from Yoville. He was more anxious than anyone else about the full siege caused by this accident.

Because these guns were pulled out from the fiefdom, just like the plight of all European countries except Sweden in this era, although he emptied the inventory of the castle to defend the city, the inventory of gunpowder was still difficult to guarantee long-term shooting, and he was even sure that his gunpowder could not last a day of bombardment.

Since there is little gunpowder, it must be used in places where it must be used. If it is possible to bombard the city wall during confrontation, it is most important to suppress the enemy troops who are climbing the city and help the infantry climbing the city to tear the gaps to win the siege.

But in fact he couldn't beat it.

Although his artillery did bombard the two maid walls close to the city platform, the artillery could not hit the female wall. The elevation fire allowed the shells to cross the female wall and continued to fly into the sky and smash into the city.

Most people can observe an abnormality on the siege car.

This old siege car has excellent siege ability. As long as it is not blown up or burned, usually the moment the flat ladder is put on the head of the city, all infantry on the siege platform will set up large shields, wave their weapons and roar and rush towards the city... No matter whether it is crossbows, bows or fire gate guns, it is difficult for the clamp knights with shields to threaten the plate armored knights with shields.

Once the plate-armored knights climb to the top of the city wall, the subsequent continuous stream of light infantry can seize the top of the city wall and expand the results of the battle.

But this time they obviously heard the war cry. The moment they put down the city platform, they could see that everyone was eager to try, but they did not move forward immediately, but were obviously stunned.

After a brief pause, what did they see?

No one in the city knows.

I only knew that after that pause, the sound of cannons and gunpowder burning sounded at the top of the city, and a large area of ​​gunpowder rose from the top of the city, and a few shells penetrated the gunpowder from the city wall at the other end of the siege platform, penetrated the crowd, and penetrated the ground not far away with blood and meat wrapped in siege platform.

After the shells, there were dozens or hundreds of arrows that were shot randomly, and those arrows were flying everywhere with burning gunpowder. Some were pierced on the soldiers on the siege platform, some were flying in the air and some fell on the ground, and some fell on the soldiers gathered under the city.

They burn, they kill.

They frightened the big brothers outside the city.
