Chapter 40 I love this era!
The white scholar, who was playing with a musket, smiled and said, "Young master, we are pirates, not the army of the court. We don't have to fight with people in formation. What we fight is to fight."
Liang Pengfei immediately understood the meaning of Bai Shusheng. The pirates did not like to use long muskets, but prefer that kind of short muskets, which is more in line with the fact that when they fight with the ship and the ship, they insidiously hugged the fire at each other side after cutting two knives. Therefore, the pirates prefer this kind of short fire when fighting. Guns. However, the short musket is far less than the long gun in range, that is to say, what is suitable for the side battle is not necessarily suitable for this kind of defensive counterattack.
"Most of the workshops here are made of short muskets. Sometimes if there are not enough raw materials, they will be directly modified with long muskets." Monk Chen also answered.
"I think that this time we are fighting an island battle. It's better to get rid of them outside the enemy's range. We should hit people with my own strengths. Therefore, I'm afraid the equipment of the brothers will need to be changed. Liang Pengfei picked up the long musket again and said in a low voice.
"Young master, the musket is just a fire when we meet. If you want to change the length, it's better to use the artillery directly." Monk Chen chattered beside him with a puzzled face, and several other pirate leaders also agreed.
"So you don't like to use this kind of musket? You know, the distance of the range sometimes determines the outcome of a war. And the truth is within the range of the cannon. Liang Pengfei proudly copied a famous saying of later generations.
Unfortunately, although the pirates in front of them are not straw bags, most of them are the kind of guys whose brains are about to be squeezed out of muscles. Although after Liang Pengfei said this, they all nodded and agreed, in fact, the expression on one or two faces made Liang Pengfei really want to copy the butt of the butt of the gun to be violent and short-sighted. The guy's forehead is all open.
In an open space outside the castle, Liang Pengfei first set a 200-meter target for the pirates to shoot with short muskets. As a result, none of the ten shots were hit, and most of the bullets fell halfway.
--------------------
Next, Liang Pengfei fired ten shots each with a long musket and a rifle (a flint-fire gun with a rifuge) in front of everyone. At a distance of 200 meters, except for the long-barre that the first two shots were fired at the edge of the target, all the others were hit at the bull'seye, making these always unruly and thought that the world was old. The pirates who had to line up for the second almost stared their eyes. Looking at Liang Pengfei's respectful eyes, there was a trace of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"Mother, the young master's shooting is much more accurate than ours." A pirate stared straight at the target that had been moved over, and his chin almost fell to the ground.
The flattery of the pirates made Liang Pengfeile grin, and it took a long time to suppress the pride of his heart and squeeze out his serious face. You should know, what is the narrowest part of the Crab Foot Gorge on Crab King Island? Thirty feet, and the wide place is more than a hundred feet. As long as you can be arranged on both sides of the right gorge, and with the range of this long-barre musket, we can completely be condescending and kill those Western pirates. Now do you understand what I mean?
"I understand, young master." Monk Chen was the first to answer with his head held high. At this time, no one dared to question Liang Pengfei's order, and they all obeyed the order, summoned his subordinates to exchange their short guns for long guns, and began to take turns to practice live ammunition in this open space.
Because time was running out, Liang Pengfei didn't have time to let these pirates practice from the basis of holding guns and weighing. He only asked these guys to be able to aim at the target and fire, and still be able to load and shoot calmly in the sound of guns.
The gun forest of flames and white smoke made Liang Peng fly in a trance and thought that he had returned to the battlefield. This feeling made him both familiar and extremely friendly. Compared with the free life in China, he prefers to run around the world, looking for some kind of spiritual stimulation, so that he could feel full and able to do it all the time. I realized the truth of my existence.
Although I was a coward, God gave me a new opportunity to come to this different time and space. I can't help but say that this is God's favor to me.
Liang Pengfei sprayed a smoke circle, raised his head, looked at the blue sky and the continuous white clouds that seemed to be endless forever, and the seabirds that made the gunfire escape, smelling the charming gunpowder smoke and the deafening roar, and couldn't help roaring with emotion: "I love this era."
"What is the young master's name?" Bai Shusheng took out the cotton from his ear and stabbed Monk Chen, who was wiping the barrel and preparing for the next shot.
"..." Monk Chen looked puzzled, and Scholar Bai asked Monk Chen impatiently in a louder voice.
"...what did you say?" Monk Chen had no choice but to put down the musket and the pass, and also took out the cotton from his ear.
Bai Shusheng rolled his eyes with a black line on his face: "I said that the young master was in a good mood today, and he seemed very excited to shout just now."
"Nonsense!" Monk Chen left Bai Shusheng a back and continued to practice shooting. One shot hit the bull's center 200 meters away, but it was the target next to him. Monk Chen patted his bare head with regret and continued to repeat the action of wiping the gun and loading.
"Damn it!" Bai Shusheng angrily drew a middle finger at the back of the monk Chen. This contemptuous gesture was also taught by the scum of Master Liang.
At this time, Liang Pengfei was checking the muskets that had been moved to the open space and distributed one after another. To be honest, the number of models of these things made Liang Pengfei think that he had come to the World Military Light Weapons Museum, and even there were hundreds of seven or eight models of fire rope guns.
"Say it to your grandma, even if it's a shotgun, I don't need it." Liang Pengfei threw a beautiful antique musket beside him like a litter and continued to choose. Scholar, pick up one of these guns for me and seal them up, and take all the rest to the workshop for me.
--------------------
"Young master, the ghost princess has come to you." Bai Shusheng came to Liang Pengfei and reminded him.
Liang Pengfei looked up and saw the nun Maria coming here alone, and Lieutenant Colonel Jose and Brother Fernando were like two thieves, followed from afar.
"Dear Sister Mary, why are you here? If there is anything I can do for you, just tell me. Liang Pengfei threw a gold-handled fire rope gun in his hand to Bai Shusheng and walked forward with a kind and pleasant smile, just like a sunny boy who had just graduated from high school.
The sunny smile dazzled Maria, and the decorated smile on her face was more shy: "Hello, Captain Liang."
"No, you should call me Brother Liang. God's followers will not care about their secular identity." Liang Pengfei repeated what Sister Maria had said with a magic stick. His eyes fell on Sister Maria's dress today. She was dressed in a low-neck blue purple skirt, with black embroidered railings on the skirt and bottom, and the cuffs were inlaid with full-color embroidered peonies on a white background.
However, because it is a dress with a Chinese female surname, it really has a special flavor on Maria, a foreign girl. More importantly, because of the difference in figure between the East and the West, Maria's full chest seemed to burst the front chest, making Liang Pengfei almost whistle.
Liang Pengfei's eyes, which looked like a hungry beast, still made her feel a little awkward and a trace of pride. She pulled the tight clothes on her body awkwardly and smiled sweetly, "Thank you for the clothes you sent, but it's a little small."
"You're welcome. It's the responsibility and obligation of every gentleman to serve a beautiful female surname like you. Don't worry, I'll ask them to reorder it for you. It's only temporary. Liang Pengfei turned around and walked side by side with Maria, regretting in his heart that he should have asked them to order a cheongsam overnight last night, preferably the kind of split to the thigh. If this hot foreign girl wore that kind of surnamed cheongsam, just thinking about it, Master Liang felt that his nostrils were almost angry. It spewed out Mars.

In addition, I don't know which reader is very interested in the current deputy moderator? If there is, you can apply in the book review area. It seems to have this function, right? I mainly want to put more energy into coding.
