Chapter 102 A machine gun can decide the outcome of the battlefield!
And Zhao Yi said that his rifle has a range of four hundred meters!
This is even more terrifying than that grenade revolver!
Because the attack distance of the grenade revolver is very long, it is within the range of the bows and arrows of the Qin army.

As long as you gather the archers to fire a volley, you can still deal with enemies using grenades and revolvers.

However, this tactic does not work against enemies using rifles.

Because before the Qin army's archers had time to get within attack distance, they were killed by rifles at a distance of three or four hundred meters.

In other words, once the Qin army encounters an enemy using rifles, it will be no match for them, because there is no effective tactics that can allow the Qin army to deal with enemies using rifles.

Especially when I heard Zhao Yi say that rifle bullets can penetrate the human body and attack the person behind.

This kind of weapon is like a magical weapon in this era that emphasizes military formations and tactics.

When Ying Zheng and Wang Jian thought about this kind of weapon appearing on the battlefield, the soldiers on the opposite side would fall down in rows like wheat.

Ying Zheng and the other person looked at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

They didn't expect that Zhao Yi actually had such a terrifying weapon hidden.

"Don't stand there, the shooting range is right next to you. You will see rifles soon." Zhao Yi, who was in front, noticed that Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were standing still, so he turned around and shouted.

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian came to their senses and immediately trotted to catch up with Zhao Yi.

They couldn't wait to see what the rifle looked like.

In less than two minutes, Zhao Yi brought Ying Zheng and the other man to the shooting range nearby.

Zhao Yi asked the guard Li Fu to take out the rifles, machine guns and thunder cannons one by one for display.

He walked over to the rifle and pointed, saying, "This is the rifle. Li Fu, show them how to use it."

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian looked at the rifle that was more than one meter long and understood why the rifle could shoot so far.

Because this rifle is much longer than a pistol.

Li Fu then stuffed five bullets into the magazine and pressed them onto the rifle.

He pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger, knelt on one knee, raised the gun and shot five times in a row at the distant target.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The iron target was pierced with a crisp sound.

After Ying Zheng Wang Jian took out a telescope and saw the thickness of the target iron plate, he had a certain understanding of the power of the rifle.

The power of this rifle is so terrifying!
Zhao Yi continued, "After being used skillfully, the rifle can accurately kill enemies at a distance of 200 to 300 meters. If it is equipped with a special telescope, it can accurately kill enemies at a distance of 400 meters."

what!
This is too scary.

Those sharpshooters who could hit the target accurately from a hundred paces away were simply a joke in front of the rifle.

Because a hundred steps is at most one hundred and fifty meters, and this rifle can easily kill enemies two or three hundred meters away, which is twice the distance of a hundred steps.

Wang Jian thought about this rifle, especially the one equipped with a special telescope, and how terrifying it would be when it appeared on the battlefield.

This means that the enemy general can be easily shot and killed from four hundred meters away, destroying the enemy's command system, so that the enemy will fall into chaos and win without fighting!

This rifle is so scary!
Before the two of them could calm down, Zhao Yi walked over to the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun and continued to introduce the next weapon.

"Then the second weapon is called a hand-cranked machine gun."

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian could not help but hold their breath and listen carefully, while they also carefully observed the appearance of the machine gun.

Since the previous rifle was so terrifying, this machine gun must not be much worse.

Otherwise, Zhao Yi would not have been kept as a backup.

"The machine gun uses the same bullets as the rifles mentioned above. But the machine gun and the rifle are used differently. The rifle is carried and used by one person."

"For machine guns, a team of three is needed. This is because machine guns are very heavy, weighing nearly 80 kilograms. Rifles, on the other hand, weigh only four kilograms."

"Then you can see that this hand-cranked machine gun has multiple barrels. This allows it to fire continuously. Unlike a bolt-action rifle, it does not need to pull the bolt every time it shoots." "So the maximum rate of fire of this hand-cranked machine gun is 200 to 300 rounds per minute, while the rate of fire of a rifle is only about 10 rounds per minute."

"Of course, a machine gun can't fire continuously because the barrel will overheat and needs to be cooled. So intermittent firing is required. If you add in the time it takes to reload, the normal firing rate of a machine gun is more than 100 rounds per minute."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were so shocked that they were speechless.

This weapon called a hand-cranked machine gun is too terrifying.

A long-range weapon with a maximum firing rate of two to three hundred rounds and a normal firing rate of over a hundred rounds!

In other words, one hand-cranked machine gun can be as effective as a hundred archers?
No, it is to surpass a hundred archers, because the archers' hands will get tired and they can only shoot seven or eight arrows in a row.

This hand-cranked machine gun only needs to have enough bullets to keep firing.

This is far better than an archer!

It can be said that just one hand-cranked machine gun can determine the outcome of the battle.

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian could not imagine how many soldiers would have to be sacrificed to break through the defense of a hand-cranked machine gun.

You should know that the range of this machine gun is also more than 400 meters.

It can form a sufficiently dense rain of suppressed bullets, which a rifle cannot do.

If the rifle is the king of the battlefield, then this hand-cranked machine gun is the emperor of the battlefield.

Any one of them can dominate the entire battlefield.

If only rifles were there, Ying Zheng could gather an army of 100,000 and it would be possible to break through Shahe Village, which was defended by rifles.

And now if we add these hand-cranked machine guns, we will probably need an army of 300,000.

How long Shahe Village can hold out depends on how many bullets Shahe Village has.

And even if they break through the defense line, they can't do anything to Shahe Village.

Because the people of Shahe Village only need to place the machine gun on the carriage, and add rifles to easily break through the blockade line of any army.

After all, the human body's defenses are as fragile as paper in front of metal bullets.

Ying Zheng was once again glad that he had never intended to fall out with Zhao Yi.

Otherwise it will result in tragedy.

Because it is impossible to encircle and suppress Shahe Village, and if the Qin army fights with Shahe Village, there will inevitably be heavy casualties.

At that time, the remnants of the six kingdoms who have been waiting for an opportunity in secret will find an opportunity to launch a rebellion.

At that time, the Qin army, which had suffered heavy damage in Shahe Village, was unable to encircle and suppress the rebels.

No wonder Zhao Yi had the confidence to rebel against me.

With machine guns and rifles, Zhao Yi can easily defeat any army in the world.

When Wang Jian saw the rifles and machine guns in front of him, his heart was filled with emotion.

Because the emergence of these two weapons will end the current way of warfare.

No army in the world today can compete with it.

Just a few of those hand-cranked machine guns are enough to build an impenetrable line of defense.

This kind of thing is so horrible!
