Super Chief

Chapter 89: Teach him!

In the original history, Patrick Ferguson returned to China after serving in Jamestown for a period of time, until the situation in the thirteen colonies in North America became more and more critical. At that time, Ferguson, who had been promoted to captain, was very familiar with the situation in North America. Once again, he followed the warships of the Royal Navy of the British Empire to North America.

   As a result, as soon as he arrived in North America, the solo war started.

  As a sharpshooter, Captain Ferguson is holding an old-fashioned front-loaded musket, which is the kind of brown Beth rifle that the British soldiers saw this time. This rifle has been in service in the British army for a long time, and it is absolutely no problem if it is used against the Indians.

   But those guys in North America who were fighting alone at the time, they were holding the newly developed Kentucky rifle in their hands, with an effective range of more than 180 meters. In contrast, the old-fashioned front-loaded musket shot by the sharpshooter Captain Ferguson has an effective range of not even 90 meters. The old-fashioned rifle at ninety meters can be used with other new-style rifles.

Sure enough, in the famous Battle of Brandywine River, Captain Ferguson was finally injured by a gun. His right arm was injured by an enemy sharpshooter. The injury was quite serious. According to the current situation If the disability level is divided, it is enough to make Captain Ferguson a disabled person.

   The wounded Captain Ferguson was very depressed. He clearly had better marksmanship than the opponent, but this gun was really ineffective.

   Therefore, Captain Ferguson, who has learned his lesson, is ready to develop a new rifle with a longer effective range and faster reloading speed.

Of course, his idea attracted unanimous ridicule at the time, because before him, many professional firearms designers tried to design post-loading rifles, but they were unsuccessful. It was either easy to burn the shooter or too much gunpowder residue after shooting. Affect the next shot. And Ferguson is a complete gun layman, **** if anyone can believe that he can succeed.

   But don’t see if Captain Ferguson doesn’t know how to make guns, but he is an out-and-out gun master. Sharpshooter never blows it out. It is fed with countless bullets.

   Captain Ferguson, who is familiar with the various advantages and disadvantages of firearms, does not care about the ridicule and distrust of others. Based on his own judgment of firearms, he is persevering in researching new rifles.

   Not to mention, it is precisely because of Captain Ferguson's unwillingness to give up the research spirit that finally made him develop a breech firing rifle within six months after being injured.

   The effective range of this rifle is more than 180 meters, which was already the best at the time. The most important thing is that this kind of rifle screen abandoned the front loading, but switched to the rear loading.

   You need to know that the old-fashioned front-loading shotgun used before has slow ammunition loading and cannot be reloaded in a prone position. It is easy to expose the target when loading ammunition on the battlefield. With the use of post-installation, this problem is completely solved.

   The most important thing is that the loading speed of this new rifle has reached more than 6 rounds per minute, which is more than double the loading speed of the old front-loading rifle.

   This is definitely an excellent new rifle!

   But unfortunately, this new rifle was not promoted in the British army. Even when Captain Ferguson was holding the new rifle he developed at the Woolwich Arsenal in the U.K. when it was shown to the top British army, he used his gun to hit a cow 91 meters away in the eye!

Even if this superb shooting technology and the excellent performance of the new gun shocked the senior British army, they named this rifle "Ferguson rifle" on the spot and decided to immediately produce one hundred Ferguson rifles, and also promoted Ferguson to major and appointed him. Form and command a special force using Ferguson rifles.

   This still did not allow the Ferguson rifle to be promoted in the British army.

   The benefits involved in a new rifle are too great, how can those conservative weapon manufacturers let a captain with no background, oh no, is the major to **** the cake that originally belonged to them?

   Therefore, even when Major Ferguson returned to the North American continent again, continued to participate in the war alone, and was unfortunately killed in the Battle of Kings Mountain, his Ferguson rifle was not promoted.

   This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

   However, Major Ferguson and his Ferguson rifle, who died at the age of only thirty-six, still left a strong mark in history. Especially in the Battle of Germanton in 1777, when Major Ferguson and his special forces were surrounded by the U.S. Army, but with the excellent command and the strength of the Ferguson rifle, the Ferguson rifle can be loaded when lying down. The special forces easily broke out of the encirclement of the US army.

   And when Major Ferguson led his men to break through, he saw a U.S. military officer riding a war horse turning away on the edge of the battlefield. In fact, at the first glance of the US military officer, Major Ferguson recognized that the US military officer was George Watson~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At that time, George Watson was only one distance away from Major Ferguson. More than a hundred meters, with Major Ferguson’s marksmanship and the power of a new rifle, as long as Major Ferguson shoots, then the founding father of the United States will be completely "destroyed" and the entire history of North America will be completely changed.

   But Major Ferguson is a real gentleman, even if it is an enemy, he is unwilling to shoot from behind.

   So George Watson escaped by luck!

   This is the famous "unfired shot" in history!

  Patrick Ferguson in the original historical time and space is really a legendary figure, but the little fresh meat in front of him is not as powerful as the original historical time and space.

   So, after learning that this guy is the Patrick Ferguson, Shi Xiong's heart could not suppress a very "evil" idea-to train him...

Even if Ferguson had been in the army for six years, he was still only a twenty-year-old young man. If he did not meet the stone bear, perhaps he would still develop a powerful Ferguson rifle in the future, and he would still be in King Mountain. During the battle, the sharpshooter of the US army sniped and killed him at a distance of 450 yards.

   But now Shixiong is here, and he is lucky enough to meet Patrick Ferguson when he was young. Then in the future, in which direction he will develop and what height he will develop, it’s hard to say...

   Anyway, Shi Xiong looks at this pink and tender Mr. Ferguson, the evil thoughts in his heart are really getting more and more vigorous!

   so much so that he squeezed a smile that made Lieutenant Ferguson shudder, and in a tone that was even more frightening, he said something that Lieutenant Ferguson would never even think of...
