Chapter 1112: First Test of the Gun Shocks the Heart

Li Longji was anxious. He wished that tomorrow, no, he could see a railway appear immediately, and trains would run on the railway.

He was thinking about the grain transport. The grain transport along the canal was the easiest. When it entered the Yellow River, every mile was so difficult.

The railway was built to Luoyang. The Grand Canal was centered in Luoyang. Trains were loaded in Luoyang, and the Yellow River was no longer used.

The section from the Grand Canal to Luoyang did not freeze in winter. If the railway could be built this year...

"Since the steam engine you mentioned is good, Xiaoyi, build more and put it on the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Put it above the Hukou Waterfall in the Yellow River and don't let it come down.

Build the canal, use other ships for short distances, and build a railway along the canal. After all, it's digging mountains there."

Concubine Dou Lu suddenly thought of an idea. The canal was not open yet, so let's see if the railway can be extended there.

Leave some space first, so that it won't be filled with water.

Li Yi thought about it and said, "First, build the canal. The railway cannot run beside it. It needs to go through the mountain.

When the time comes, we will see the direction of the river on the mountain, where we need to cut the mountain, and where to build the bridge."

As Li Yi said this, he suddenly admired the people of his time.

The roads built by the country seem to be accessible everywhere.

What provincial roads, national roads, expressways, railways, high-speed railways, no country with such a large land area has built roads like that.

And they are still building them, and they never want to stop.

Let alone all the roads in the Tang Dynasty, it would be fine if there was a railway network 20 years ago.

Everyone imagined the future of the railway, and had a very comfortable meal.

Li Yi took Princess Yongmu for a walk to digest the food.

The little guy followed at first, but after walking for a while, the little guy dozed off and ran to find the children in the village.

After finding them, he went straight to the sleeping place, insisted on coming to his little bed, threw himself on the bed, turned over again, and fell asleep without taking off his shoes.

The caregiver quickly took off his shoes, adjusted his posture, and covered him with a small blanket.

Li Tan also found a place to sleep. Li Yi told him that the scars on his face would heal faster if he slept more.

…

It was not yet noon when the 5,600 guards led by Hao Lingquan finally arrived.

Each of them had two horses and had to carry muskets and bullets.

The scouts had already sent the situation to Guo Zhiyun. Everyone cooked in advance to welcome the friendly forces.

The Yulin Flying Cavalry ran over first to help unload the things. They didn't care about the others and only took the guns and bullets.

The gun was a new gun and needed to be mastered first.

The trajectory of each gun was different. You had to shoot a few shots to get familiar with it.

The dead big fish were tied at a position of 100 steps. They were ready to eat. They were taken to see the bullets first.

Behind the big fish was a pillar, and behind the pillar was other wood. The wood blocked the places not blocked by the pillar.

Qin Li held the gun and walked forward. 100 steps was too far. He needed to shoot at a close place first to see the deviation of the trajectory.

The other few people followed and the young generals here surrounded them.

They have heard of a powerful gun, but how powerful it is is still unclear.

"First, open the air seal. The bullet is one piece. Put it in, and then pull it back. It just cuts off the finger behind the bullet.

Pull the trigger, and this place is the medicine pool.

There used to be a medicine bag, and the medicine was poured up. Now it has been replaced with a small paper bag. Pull it, and the gunpowder will enter the medicine pool.

Aim, the rear sight, the front sight and the target object, that is, the fish, are in a straight line.

Thirty steps away, there is a scale on the rear sight here. Adjust it to this position, smell it with your hand, and pull the trigger..."

'Chi bang' the gun went off, and a cloud of smoke came out.

The people around were startled, the movement was not small!

Look at the fish there again, and from the current position, you can see that the fish is fine.

Everyone walked over, and the fish was indeed intact, with a small hole on the wood behind.

"It missed, go back and try again." Qin Li observed it, knew the approximate trajectory, and walked back.

He didn't feel ashamed, the gun thing was different from the gun he practiced before.

'Chi bang! 'The second shot was fired, and at this time there was a change on the big fish, and a hole appeared.

Everyone went over again, and it was indeed a hole, which was larger in the front and smaller in the back, and the bullet entered the wooden pillar.

Take this fish down and change it for another one.

The third shot, fifty steps away, Qin Li successfully hit it again, and it looked almost the same as before.

One hundred steps, take a deep breath, calm yourself, aim with the gun, exhale, pause, pull the trigger, and the gun goes off.

A group of people ran over to see, there was a hole on the big fish, and the bullet was still embedded in the wood.

A big fish-shaped leather blocked the big fish in front of it, which was as thick as leather armor.

The fifth shot was fired, and this time the leather was penetrated, and the big fish was also penetrated, and the bullet was on the pillar.

"Use mine." A young general put his upper body armor in front of the big fish, and compared it with the big fish drawn on the armor.

"Bang!" The gun went off, and he ran over to see again.

The upper body armor penetrated from front to back, and the bullet hit the big fish's body, penetrated out, and stayed on the pillar.

Guo Zhiyun and others were silent, wearing double armor at a distance of 100 steps.

"The musket looks easy to operate." Wang Junkui commented that even if someone holds it up, they can shoot so accurately.

It can be used to shoot, fixed, and any child can kill the enemy, just like a crossbow that has been strung by someone else.

The child finds a place to set it up, takes aim, and fires.

"Are bullets valuable?" Zhang Zhongliang was surprised by the result.

"It's much cheaper than arrows. Twenty bullets are not as expensive as one arrow." A Yulin flying cavalryman next to him said.

"There are people who use pockets to hold medicine, but they are not as good as this." A young general ran to watch other people shoot and came back to report.

"The owner wants to see which one is better. I guess the owner is making a better shooting tool. You guys try it?"

Qin Li didn't try it. He knew that a hundred steps would be enough. He didn't have the ability to aim at a longer distance. He could only shoot at crowded places. The rear sight had scales, but it was not accurate.

Guo Zhiyun clenched his fist and waved his hand: "I'll keep the bullets for you. We try once, and we waste one. Maybe it will save a Tibetan life."

As soon as he said that, other young generals who wanted to try held back.

They wanted to fight, but they knew that bullets were precious, just like arrows.

No, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net Arrows can be recovered after practice shooting, but how to recover bullets? The gunpowder is gone.

The 499 people elsewhere also stood up to shoot, adjusted the distance, then squatted and kneeled to shoot, and then lay down to shoot, concentrating on every shot.

"Li Yi!" Zhang Zhongliang said Li Yi's name and then stopped talking.

He once again understood the value of Li Yi. As long as there were enough muskets and bullets, one civilian and one soldier would be a very powerful soldier to defend the city.

A normal person without armor would be finished if he was hit from a few hundred steps away.

"Bring a sheep over and put it a hundred steps away." Qin Li was ready to show everyone the insidiousness of bullets.

"There are dead sheep that are ready to be eaten, don't touch the living ones." The Yulin flying cavalry next to him said as he rode to find sheep.

Not long after, a sheep that had been bled was brought back.

After arranging it, Qin Li lay down, aimed again and again, and opened fire.
