Chapter 370 Imitation Guns

Gao Daqiang happily took the brand new rifle, held it in front of him with both hands, and looked at it carefully for a long time.

His eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation, yet also a hint of confusion.

"You don't know how to use it? Let me teach you." Gongmen Jia looked at Gao Daqiang's clumsy appearance with a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he was looking at an ignorant fool.

"Indeed, I won't." Gao Daqiang was quite frank. He quickly handed over the gun in his hand with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"Look, cock the gun, pull it back, and then..."

Gongmen Jiadi skillfully took the bullet from Gao Daqiang's hand and neatly pressed the bullet into the gun while explaining, "Then push it up and press the bolt down."

Gongmen Jiadi held the gun firmly with both hands, pointed it towards the sky, pulled the trigger, and continued:

"You pull the trigger here with your index finger and the bullet will fire. Be careful not to point the gun at anyone, otherwise, you never know who might shoot you from a distance."

Gao Daqiang's heart tightened when he heard this. He looked around vigilantly and asked nervously, "How far can this gun shoot?"

"This gun has a range of at least four hundred steps, and can fire at a maximum of one thousand steps. However, at distances beyond this, the bullet will drop, just like an arrow."

Gongmen Jiadi explained patiently.

"Oh..." Gao Daqiang nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood.

"You need to practice more when you get back, but ten bullets won't be enough."

Gongmen Jiadi kindly reminded.

"You seem to know a lot about guns, but I don't see you own any."

Gao Daqiang suddenly remembered something, his eyes full of curiosity, and asked in confusion.

"We have at least ten of these guns, and we've trained on them and fired a thousand rounds."

Gongmen Jiadi said proudly, with a confident look on his face.

"So, I'm low on bullets?"

Gao Daqiang frowned slightly, realizing that he might not be well prepared.

"Generally, a gun comes with at least 100 rounds of ammunition. We were issued 200 rounds, and we have 100 in reserve."

Gongmen Jiadi's tone was very affirmative.

"so much?"

Gao Daqiang widened his eyes in surprise.

"Yes."

"One ounce of silver for one bullet?"

"Yes, one ounce of silver."

"...?"

Gao Daqiang showed a look of heartache and hesitation on his face. He gritted his teeth and finally took out a hundred taels of silver with pain and bought another hundred bullets.

In order to prevent the members of the public security team from using guns different from those sold, they actually used the same weapons as Gao Daqiang.

However, all 20 members of the Weiyuan security team are equipped with wheeled shotguns.

These weapons cannot leave the gate of Weiyuan, so no one else can see them.

A shotgun is shorter than a rifle. The barrel is one foot shorter, and it is another foot shorter without the buttstock. When it is usually carried on the back and you put on clothes, the gun is almost invisible.

More importantly, the members of the Weiyuan security team are also equipped with grenades, giving them stronger combat effectiveness.

The Black Python Society is also equipped with similar weapons, but they have an additional mysterious and deadly weapon - the sniper rifle.

Pei Xin is the user of this sniper rifle. He is a master who has received professional training under the instructions of Zhao Sheng.

Because the Black Python Society has another secret mission in Yi Yu, which is assassination.

In this city full of competition and intrigue, if you want to become the overlord, you must possess unknown means, and this has been the case since ancient times.

……

After Murong Bai learned about the black market, he couldn't wait to send people to buy some weapons, including pistols and rifles.

His idea was exactly the same as Gao Daqiang's, and he planned to buy the gun and imitate it.

Soon, Murong Bai's rifle was manufactured, but the only problem was the primer.

However, primers are not sold separately on the black market, and even if they are available, the price is staggeringly high.

"Leader, we understand that the Yan army and the troops in the capital have such weapons. They must have primers in their hands."

Murong Bai's eyes lit up after hearing his subordinate's report.

"Can you think of a way to get some here privately?"

Murong Bai asked eagerly, with a gleam of desire in his eyes.

"Chief, the Lu family is also imitating it. They will probably encounter the same problems as us. Why don't we go and cooperate with them?"

The subordinate suggested cautiously.

"Looking for the Lu family?"

Murong Bai fell into deep thought, as if weighing the pros and cons. It seemed that this was the only solution for the time being.

The Lu family was indeed imitating rifles and was also troubled by the bottleneck of primers.

When the Murong tribe was informed, they sent people to quietly infiltrate the Yan army and the workshops in the capital.

It is not particularly difficult to crack gunpowder.

The Zhou Dynasty already had a certain foundation for the use of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal, but at that time they did not think of using them to make gunpowder. They only used these materials as auxiliary materials for fire attacks.

Historical records show that the origin of gunpowder is somewhat related to this use.

The counterfeit guns can only be said to be similar in appearance, but there is still a gap in the materials, and the strength and toughness cannot be compared with the guns sold on the black market.

However, the low-carbon inferior iron blanks sold by the Black Python Society are already excellent materials for making guns for them. In any case, they are much better than the pig iron they originally used.

If you want to buy these iron embryos from the Black Python Society, you can't buy them with money. You must use cattle and horses, or exchange them for grain.

To this end, the Murong family and the Lu family almost emptied all their cattle, horses, and food reserves just to exchange for these key materials for making weapons.

……

When the Huns learned that the situation on the border of the Great Zhou had changed again, they felt that this was a great opportunity.

They mobilized a large number of tribesmen from the extreme north of the Xiongnu and prepared an army of 500,000 people, ready to march south and attack the Great Zhou.

Erhan Chanyu was defeated by the Zhou Dynasty many times and was replaced by his cousin Dun Chanyu. Dun Chanyu was good at military affairs and paid special attention to studying the political, military and administrative methods of various countries.

In terms of administration, Hu Yanyan still serves as the Grand Marshal.

For this southward march, he organized two armies, the Eastern Army and the Western Army.

Huyan Duo and Yelu Qing were appointed as generals of the two armies respectively.

Moreover, Dun Chanyu boldly delegated power, and the allocation of positions under the army was decided by them.

This also led to the two teams having different names.

However, the titles of Huyan Duo and Yelu Qing as generals remained unchanged.

Huyan Duo was deeply influenced by Huyan Yan, and he had left and right generals and alternate generals under his command.

Yelu Qing continued to use the feudal system, and under him were a Left Wise King Gulizar, as well as the Vanguard General and the General of Ten Thousand Men.

Although the vanguard generals and the generals with ten thousand men are of the same rank here, the vanguard troops will receive priority in terms of combat resources.

In a sense, the status of the vanguard general is slightly higher than that of the same-level units by half a level.
