Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 363 I Still Have To Be Steady

In the past two days, Su Cheng had a lot of practice in the firearms supervisor, so Su Cheng's marksmanship was actually not that bad.

But after all, he was not proficient, people would miss, and horses would stumble, Su Cheng felt that it was better to be more steady.

Dozens of targets are densely packed together, looking very eye-catching, Su Cheng feels that this is a safe move!

Li Shimin looked at the densely packed dozens of targets in the distance, laughed and said, "You can shoot with your eyes closed!"

With his archery skills, it is true that he can shoot with his eyes closed, but that refers to bows and arrows!

Su Cheng ignored him, but seriously started loading the musket.

So all eyes were on Su Cheng's hand, watching how he loaded the musket.

Seeing Su Cheng's movements, Li Jing and the others couldn't help frowning slightly. It was really hard to reload. You must know that every moment on the battlefield is precious and may determine the outcome.

"It's loaded, I'm going to test the gun!"

Cheng Yaojin asked puzzledly: "Don't you need to light a fire? Isn't it called a musket?"

"I put flint inside, which can hit sparks, so that there is no need to ignite, and it can be used even in rainy days." Su Cheng explained while aiming.

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded in approval. He had to say that Su Cheng's brains were really good, and he used flint instead of lighting the fire.

Bang!

There was a loud bang, followed by a puff of smoke.

The sound was far worse than that of artillery, so everyone was not surprised. As for the smoke, firearms, isn't it normal to produce smoke?

What everyone cares most about is the range and power!

"Hit!" Su Cheng said loudly.

Isn't it normal to get hit?

However, everyone was still excited, a hundred steps, and they really hit it!This has nothing to do with arm strength, as long as anyone holding a musket can shoot as far.

"Go, go and have a look!" Li Shimin walked towards the target impatiently.

A group of people walked towards the target in a mighty manner, came to the concentrated target, and looked at it carefully.

"Strong! Too strong! The distance of a hundred steps can hit the target like this. This power is stronger than ordinary bows and arrows, it's not 01:30!" Cheng Yaojin said.

"According to this strength, it's absolutely no problem to hit another dozens of steps, but I don't know how powerful and accurate it will be after hitting dozens of steps!" Li Ji thought.

Everyone is an expert in fighting, so they can tell at a glance.

"There's nothing to say about the power and range. It's stronger than what Su Cheng said. It's unexpected. It's just that the accuracy is hard to judge." Li Shimin nodded in praise.

"Actually, it's quite accurate. I was aiming at this target, but I really hit it..." Su Cheng said with a smile.

Cheng Yaojin and others couldn't help but rolled their eyes when they heard this, "I believe you, you bastard, you are a very bad boy."

Li Ji pondered: "After all, Su Cheng has only just come into contact with muskets, and being able to hit them at least shows that the accuracy of the muskets is not outrageous."

Li Jing nodded and said: "I think so too. Su Cheng has not been trained, and he can still hit these targets at a distance of [-] steps. At least it is absolutely no problem to use it for salvo."

"I think the biggest problem is reloading. It takes too much time. If you are facing cavalry on the battlefield, you may not have time for the second round of salvo. If the enemy you are facing is infantry, there is still room for use. "

Li Shimin and others couldn't help frowning when they heard this. This is indeed a big problem, but the enemies that Datang faced were mainly cavalry, which also restricted the use of muskets.

However, Li Shimin thought of another point. It might be useful when conquering Liaodong, because there are not many cavalry in Goguryeo, and it is also effective to attack the city with the range of muskets.

I have to admit that both cannons and muskets are siege weapons!

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "So, muskets are not without their merits. They can be used as surprise soldiers, and they are also very useful for attacking cities."

Hou Junji said: "However, muskets cannot replace bows and arrows after all. It takes too much time to load them. On the battlefield, time is of the essence!"

Su Cheng just listened to all these discussions quietly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't care.

Li Shimin turned his head and saw Su Chengzheng playing with the musket in his hand with great interest, with a smile on his face, as if he didn't hear everyone's discussion.

Everyone is discussing here, how could Su Cheng not hear it?

So, this kid looked confident, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Look, this kid smiles like a little fox, if you have any other ideas, hurry up and tell me!"

It was only then that everyone noticed the smile on the corner of Su Cheng's mouth, and they immediately understood that the guy who had kept quiet about his feelings was just watching a joke from the sidelines.

Cheng Yaojin and others immediately yelled: "I just said that this kid is very bad, and he even hid aside to watch our jokes!"

Su Cheng smiled and said: "You just missed a little bit. I am not familiar with muskets, not only the accuracy is not good, but also the reloading, so it seems to be reloading very slowly. Training muskets, reloading is also very important. After all, in the battlefield Time is precious."

Cheng Yaojin immediately shouted after hearing this: "That's right, forget about it, Su Cheng is not familiar with muskets, not only can't be accurate, but also slow to load!"

Li Shimin and the others couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this. What Su Cheng said was indeed very reasonable, and they really ignored it just now.

In other words, the reloading speed of a skilled musketeer is not as slow as Su Cheng just showed.

Hou Junji asked: "Su Cheng, if you are proficient, how much faster can you be?"

These words can be said to have asked the hearts of everyone. Su Cheng spread his hands and said, "I don't know about this. No one is proficient at the moment. Let me just say it. I will show it to everyone in a month, and then there will be people." An accurate judgement!"

Li Jing pondered and said: "Just now I carefully observed Su Cheng's loading, and the time has been shortened by at least half when I become proficient. Compared with bows and arrows, it still takes a lot of time. However, it is worth using, and can complement each other with archers. How to use it needs to be reconsidered.”

Li Shimin also nodded and said: "The time can be shortened by half, such a long range, such a great power, with a bow and arrow used well, it will be an amazing soldier!"

Li Chengqian, Li Tai and a group of civil servants who don't know much about fighting still seem to understand, but generals such as Li Jing have already begun to think about how to use muskets.

The range and the power are really exciting, but the reloading time is so long, which makes people love and hate it.

Seeing their serious thinking, Su Cheng couldn't help laughing.

Everyone was clever this time, and immediately noticed the smile on the corner of Su Cheng's mouth.

"Look, look, Su Cheng laughed again!"
