482 Firearms Training
More than 300 people were fully armed and escorted coal carts on the road. In addition to coal, they also brought more than 1,000 war horses and more than 1,000 slaves. Among these people, except for the more than 300 Sogdian slaves, all They are prisoners of the Khazanite Khanate. After all, these people are different. They are real soldiers. They naturally dare not relax when escorting them. Therefore, they have sent more people. If they escort so many people in peacetime, 200 cavalry will be enough. Now, and you don’t need to be fully armed and full of armor.
It’s the hottest time of the year. It’s not easy to wear armour all over, but Zhang Da has explained that the mercenaries also know who they are holding, so naturally they don’t dare to be too careless. Sixty people still have to go ahead with the cart, so there are fewer people, and they have to pay more attention.
After Zhang Da waited in the city for a day, in the early morning, the people who bought the copper materials returned. However, these subordinates didn't dare to disturb Zhang Da now. After all, it was too late now. Anyway, they just had to come back from the completion of the task. It would be the same as long as the copper material was handed over to Zhang Da early in the morning.
At dawn the next morning, his subordinates gave the copper materials they bought to Zhang Da. In the yard, Zhang Da looked at sixteen boxes of copper ingots and asked, "You bought these?"
These sixteen boxes are not big. At first glance, they are the boxes used for horse-lifting goods, and each box does not contain a hundred catties. If there are too many, Marco can't stand the long-term pack-lifting. Copper is heavy, unlike other goods, naturally each box only contains a little bit. Anyway, these copper materials are only a thousand catties, which is really not much.
One of his subordinates said: "Second leaders, these are the copper stocks. The merchant said that if you need a large amount of pure copper, you can make an order first and then pick up the goods."
Zhang Da nodded and said, "Okay, I see, you move these boxes down and find some camels to carry them on, and I will leave after you finish."
"Yes, second leader, let's go now."
Although a thousand catties seem to be a little less, Zhang Da can do it too. If he wants more, he can only wait for the next time to ship. He has to ask Li You how much it needs. Now, he does not need to order more copper blocks. What he has to do is to quickly lead people to chase the people in front, and transport what Li You wants as soon as possible.

Inside the bastion in the northeast corner of Hanhai City, not far from the gunpowder workshop to the west, there are many targets set up here. Li You is teaching how to shoot accurately. Although the gun is only that small, as the training slowly deepens, The number of weapons will also gradually increase, and now twenty guns are basically enough, after all, this is just the beginning.
The current arrangement is gun training in the morning and gun training in the afternoon. The time will last until the war approaches. Li You is not clear about what kind of training people can be in such a short time. He knows that this time can teach these people how to use guns correctly. As for accuracy and effective shooting, it depends on personal understanding. Up.
There is a front sight on the gun, and it has been adjusted. Li You put a cartridge containing bullets into the back of the barrel and clamped it, then pulled the trigger up. This ignited the arquebus and put the gun on his right shoulder. Go up, then aim at the target, and shoot a shot, hitting the center of the bullseye. The target is very close, which is only thirty meters. This is for people who have never touched a gun to know more intuitively how to hit the target correctly. This is also a gradual process.
"I have already told you how to aim, and now the first group of you have a try, first load the bullet, then light the match rope, and finally put the gun on the right shoulder as I did just now, and finally listen to my order to shoot."
After Li You finished speaking, his men started to move. Li You had already taught once when they came over yesterday, but there was no real charge to shoot. Everyone had touched the gun anyway and knew how to load it. And take off the post-loading cartridge, today is considered as actual training. It's not difficult to use a gun, it's nothing more than a new thing, and it feels a bit strange. Although I have never actually fired a gun, I still know how to use it. Just follow the professor's instructions.
Seeing that everyone is ready, Li You shouted: "Raise the gun, aim and shoot."
After a burst of banging guns, Li You looked at the scattered smoke and said: "Go to the target and check to see if it hits."
Afterwards, the first team went to the target to check, and the result was not bad. Since the target was relatively large, at least there were no misses. Then came the second team’s firing test. There are not too many people here. You can still do it if you want to test it all at once. After all, there are only more than 700 people. Li You also said that it depends on whose training effect. Okay, let whoever use it first. New 81 Chinese network update the fastest mobile terminal: https:/
They all saw the power of the muskets. Yesterday Li You made two grabs to give them a general idea. When a bullet hits a stone wall, it can hit the stone wall with debris from such a distance. This power It is indeed much larger than bows and arrows. Everyone here has fought a war, and no one is unwilling to use this.
After the training at noon, Li You went to a bullet punching workshop. Here is a set of bullet hydraulic punching equipment. It must be ensured that it runs well before more bullets can be produced. If something goes wrong, work will be suspended. One or two days can be troublesome. Now what needs to be ensured is the supply of bullets and shells. This is the point.
The manufacture of bullets is not so simple. The process is just as complicated. First, the copper ingot is fired into water and poured into a slender cylinder, and then hot drawn into a round copper bar with the size of the barrel. The copper strips are cut into three-centimeter-long cylinders, and a single copper strip can only cut out more than 300. Then take the processed cylindrical particles to another workshop to punch out the arc of the tip of the bullet. Although this is not difficult, as long as these round copper cylinders are added to the mold, they can be stamped into bullets, but in the end, the tail has to be polished to make it straight, which is a bit time-consuming.
The workshop can only make two batches of bullets per day, that is, more than 600 bullets per day, which can only be said to meet the demand. If there are too many guns, this bullet is not ironclad enough. In fact, not to mention bullets. The rear-mounted moving barrel of the gun is the real trouble. Not to mention the complicated process, it also needs to be cut and formed. Now, after eating dinner every evening, he goes to a special rear-mounted cartridge cutting workshop to do and teach.
There are not many people who can handle it now. It will take time. Even if there are position clamps, many craftsmen dare not try it easily. Li You also knows that the time is too short, and the manual work requires him to do the fine work. Row.
The artillery training in the afternoon really opened everyone's eyes. They finally knew what a heavy weapon was, whether it was a steel cannon or a cast cannon, which was so powerful that no one had ever seen it. For them, being able to use this weapon is indeed a happy thing.
