Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 215 Duoduo Tests the Gun
After Nikan reported the battle situation to Dodo, Dodo's face was a little ugly, and he said: "It's such a good opportunity, why don't you attack?"

He Duoduo gave the order to retreat, but due to the lack of sight, he couldn't immediately know what happened on the other side of Xiaopo.

I only saw the constant explosions on Xiaopo, and ordered to retreat in order to reduce casualties.

If he knew that the captives had escaped and many people rushed towards the new army camp, he would definitely launch an attack without hesitation.

Although there were several reasons in his mind, Nikan could only admit his mistake when faced with Duduo's questioning, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "The final general violated His Highness's entrustment, His Highness please punish him."

"Get up, write it down first." Duoduo said coldly.

"Yes."

"Send Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming to come to support..." Duoduo immediately ordered.

Immediately a messenger left with the order.

The reason why he thought of using these two descending troops was because Doduo wanted to use them to test how many advanced weapons the new army reinforcements carried, and also to consume as much ammunition as possible for those advanced weapons of the new army.

Through the previous battle, he also judged that once the new army did not have those advanced weapons to rely on, although its combat effectiveness was good, it would still be difficult to compete with the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty.

He guessed that although the new army's reinforcements brought artillery, they should not have a lot of ammunition, and the shooting distance of this artillery should not be as far as the previous artillery that was obviously much more powerful.

That kind of powerful artillery should be very heavy and inconvenient to transport, so the reinforcements of the new army could not be brought out.

Otherwise, Huang Hairu would dare to blatantly launch a counterattack instead of wasting time burying those corpses.

Of course, there was another possibility, Huang Hairu did this on purpose, and wanted to set a trap for Duoduo to drill into.

Therefore, it is necessary to use those who have surrendered to try.

Therefore, Dodo sent people to closely monitor the actions of the new army while waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

But at this moment, his attention was on a pile of things in front of him, which were the advanced firearms of the new army.

He first picked up a 98K, which looks very similar to the bird gun, but it is obviously much more sophisticated, and the most obvious difference is that there is an extra knife on the tip of the gun, and there is no cleaning rod.

From the information collected, Duduo also knew that the way this firearm is loaded with projectiles is very different, and the projectiles are loaded from the back.

After fiddling with it for a while, he probably figured it out.

There were thirty or forty guns collected by the Qing army, but the bullets were pitifully small, so Duoduo still took out a rifle bullet and tried it.

During the battle with the new army, many Qing soldiers saw the soldiers of the new army pull their guns and shoot.

After confiscating 98K, after a little trial, he probably knew how to operate, and now a soldier taught Duoduo the skills he found.

Duoduo pulled the trigger, revealing the barrel of the gun.

He had before him two kinds of cartridges, one for a pistol and one for a rifle, both of which were elongated and very different from the round balls used in the blunderbuss, and which were also very different in size from each other.

Of course, he naturally didn't know the names of these two bullets.

He tried loading both types of bullets, knowing that this firearm should be loaded with that longer bullet.

After loading one bullet, he knew that he should be able to continue loading it. When he pressed five bullets in a row and could not reload, he knew it was full.

"This type of firearm can be loaded with bullets so quickly, and can be loaded with five bullets at a time. Just for this, it's more ingenious than a bird gun." Duoduo was very emotional.

Immediately, he pushed the trigger to close the chamber, and then ordered someone to set up a target position a hundred feet away.

After the target position was set up, Nikan on the side hurriedly said, "Your Highness, let me try."

"It's okay, let me see how powerful this firearm is." Duoduo said lightly.

"Yes." Nikan responded immediately, and then carefully picked up the binoculars on his chest to look in the direction of the target.

The reason for being so careful is because he loves this captured new army telescope too much.

Duduo raised his gun and aimed at the target. Although the aiming point of this firearm was somewhat different from that of the bird's gun, he figured it out after a little thought, and he also saw that the aiming point of this firearm was more delicate.

Dodo aimed at the center of the target, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

With a crisp sound of "bang", the bullet traveled a distance of hundreds of feet and hit the target all at once.

Nikan on the side immediately exclaimed, "Your Highness, you hit, you hit."

Duduo's expression was very calm, and he took a telescope to look at it, and suddenly it was a Zeiss telescope.

The Qing army obtained a total of two telescopes this time, one for Duduo and one for Nikan.

In the telescope, Doduo saw the point of impact. Although it didn't hit the bull's-eye directly, it was still very close.

Duoduo knew that the distance of one hundred feet was far from the shooting distance of this firearm, so he asked people to extend the distance of the target position by one hundred feet.

But in this case, the target would look very small to the naked eye and could not be seen clearly, so he purposely asked someone to enlarge the target.

Duduo pulled the trigger and saw the bullet casings flying out automatically. He was very surprised by this design.

He pushed the trigger again and loaded the bullet. Although he didn't know this action was called loading, he knew that he had to do this step before he could shoot again.

Raising the gun to aim, there was a "bang", and Nikan exclaimed again: "His Royal Highness's control over firearms is really superb. From such a distance, it is still a one-hit hit."

Duduo didn't respond to Nikan's compliment, and picked up the binoculars to look at it himself, and the hit position was farther away from the bull's-eye.

But even so, he was very shocked.

Although his Dodo marksmanship is good, this gun is the first time to shoot.

This effect can be achieved with the first shot. After long-term practice, wouldn't it be possible to kill the target at a distance of two hundred feet?

And it is so accurate that it is more threatening than many artillery pieces.

Putting down the 98K, Duoduo picked up a P38 pistol again. He knew that although this firearm is so small, it can shoot continuously, and it is more threatening in close quarters than the long firearm just now.

The method of using the P38 was also figured out by Duoduo. He fired three shots in a row and then stopped shooting, because he found that although the pistol could shoot continuously, it was obviously much more difficult to shoot accurately.

His first shot was a target hundreds of feet away, and after the first shot, he had no idea where the bullet flew.

It was reduced to seventy feet, and it was still the same. After fifty feet, I still didn't see the target.

"The new army only uses this firearm in close combat. This firearm should only be suitable for close combat." Nikan interjected at the right time.

Duoduo nodded slightly, and he guessed it should be the same, so he asked someone to set up a target position ten feet away.

After one shot, it still missed.

"Huh..." Duoduo fired another shot in disbelief, barely hitting the edge of the target.

"Although this firearm can fire continuously, it is difficult to control." Duoduo immediately commented on P38.
