My life skills in Daming Liver

The next day when I came to the school grounds, a shooting range was opened next to the school grounds where the drills were originally held. This is a place for bird gunners to practice shooting.

Lin Mojun has been very distressed recently.

Before Su Ze went to the county seat, he handed over the gunner to her for practice.

Lin Mojun took these bird gunners to train every day, but the problems that arose every day made her anxious.

It was not easy to practice the loading movements of these bird gunners proficiently, but the hit rate of live ammunition made Lin Mojun's blood pressure go up.

Lin Mojun had seen Su Ze shoot. In comparison, the group of bird gunners in the guard had a pitifully low hit rate. Every time they shot, there would be various situations such as misfiring and jamming.

When Su Ze arrived at the shooting range, he didn't directly intervene in Lin Mojun's training.

Lin Mojun is a very qualified general. She trained these gunners meticulously in accordance with the training outline left by Su Ze before he left.

First is the training of the assembly line, then the drill of the shooting action, and then the live ammunition shooting.

The bird gun is a kind of matchlock gun, which is still in the early stage of firearms development, and the operation steps are cumbersome. With Su Ze's current Lv3 shooting skills, he can only fire it roughly twice a minute.

In the ever-changing battlefield, time is life, so the loading action must be engraved into the body of the bird gunner in daily practice.

Lin Mojun has done a good job in this part of the training, and now the gunners can finish loading and shooting within a minute under her orders.

But the accuracy of live ammunition shooting is really bad. The hit rate of a hundred-step shooting is quite tragic, and ten people can only hit one or two.

After watching Lin Mojun's training, Su Ze was not in a hurry at all. He asked Lin Mojun and the soldiers to gather under the awning and began to solve the problems Lin Mojun encountered during the training.

"Baihu, you feel that the training effect is not good. It's not that everyone is not training hard, but that you are training in the wrong direction."

Lin Mojun asked suspiciously: "The direction of the training is wrong?"

Su Ze nodded and said, "Baihu, what do you think is a bird gunslinger?"

Lin Mojun thought for a while and said, "Archer?"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "That's why Baihu thinks the training effect is not good, but I think the effect is very good."

"Bird gunners are not archers, but a new type of arms, a type of arms that can form an independent formation."

Wherever firearms were invented, muskets were used as a substitute for archers.

Including Qi Jiguang's method of using the blunderbuss in the mandarin duck formation, they all use the blunderbuss as the long-range attack firepower point in the team. If there is no blunderbuss, archers can be used instead.

This is not to say that Qi Jiguang's military thinking is backward, but that Eastern and Western military strategists in this era all use firearms as archers.

Including Lin Mojun, they all use the gunslinger as a supplementary firepower for the army, and they don't think the gunslinger can fight alone.

In fact, the east and the west are the same at this time. When the western musketeers first used it, they were also used as a substitute for the longbowman.

In the west, the musketeer was also used in conjunction with the pikeman at the beginning. The pikeman protected the musketeer, and the musketeer shot from behind.

Only after summing up countless battles did Chinese and Western military strategists discover that the musketeer could completely replace other infantry and become a separate unit.

And on this basis, develop tactics suitable for musketeers.

But these are just big principles, just like Su Ze has practiced the best inner strength cheats, but he still needs to practice martial arts tricks every day in order to bring out his inner strength.

And the martial arts tricks that exert the power of the modern musketeers are the arithmetic (mathematics) that the Ming Dynasty began to gradually lag behind the world.

In all fairness, the decline of mathematics in the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with Lao Zhu's family.

The turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty caused faults in many technologies of the Ming Dynasty, and arithmetic was the most serious fault among them.

This is also reflected in the calendar. The "Shoushi Calendar" compiled by Guo Shoujing in the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty only changed its name to "Datong Calendar", and then it was used until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that the calendar needs to be rebuilt every once in a while, otherwise, as time goes by, the actual meteorological and astronomical errors will become larger and larger, and the most important function of the calendar, which is to guide farming, will be deviated. It will even affect the agricultural production of the entire country.

We must know that in the past dynasties, when they settled down, they had to rebuild the calendar. The Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties could repair the calendar, but only the Ming Dynasty did not come up with a "Shixian Calendar" until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

What is even more embarrassing is that this "Shi Xian Li" in the late Ming Dynasty was compiled under the leadership of the Western missionary Tang Ruowang.

This shows the technical fault of the Ming Dynasty in mathematics.

The most important "trick" to exert the combat effectiveness of firearms is mathematics. Because of the fault in mathematics, although the Ming and Qing Dynasties were equipped with firearms, these firearms were purely technological revolutions and did not lead to the advancement of war theory.

Looking at the seventy gunners on the shooting range, Su Ze will first group them into groups of ten, and then start shooting in groups.

Su Ze took out the paper and began to record the results of their shooting.

Lin Mojun moved closer to Su Ze, but saw that the symbols he wrote on the paper were like heavenly scriptures. She couldn't understand them at all, so she could only focus on the gunner who was shooting.

Su Ze didn't simply let them shoot at the target, but formed a group of ten people and shot at the positions of 300 steps, 150 steps, 100 steps, and 50 steps respectively.

Su Ze recorded the number of times the soldiers shot and hit, and then changed to the next group and fired again. After recording the data on the entire sheet, Su Ze had a deeper understanding of the accuracy of this batch of bird guns.

Compared with modern firearms, the accuracy of bird guns is much worse, but the close-range hits are still quite impressive.

50 steps, (one step is 1.5 meters), that is, within 75 meters, the hit rate of ten people shooting can reach more than five people, that is to say, when shooting at a distance of fifty steps, the enemy's casualties can reach more than half.

But at one hundred steps, that is, one hundred and fifty meters, the hit rate dropped to 30%.

At 150 steps, that is, 200 meters, the hit rate is only 20%.

Su Ze fitted an optimal curve, shooting between 50 steps and 100 steps can get the best damage effect.

This is the accuracy of stationary shooting. In normal combat, the musketeer will still move forward. Su Ze also brought in the variables of the marching speed and reloading time of the two sides, and determined that the first shot should be reloaded at 100 steps, and the gunner at 50 The best kill effect is the second shot.

Accuracy rate, reloading time, and pace speed, the combination of these three factors can effectively estimate the damage to the enemy caused by the gunner's advance.

Similarly, through the enemy's equipment level and combat literacy, one can also infer one's own casualties.

Commanders in the age of firearms are different from those in the age of cold weapons. Brain power is more important than personal bravery.

In the era of artillery, the artillery commander simply became a human computer, and his daily work was to solve the parabolic equation calculation, and use the artillery shooting elements to calculate the impact point of the artillery shell and the range of the enemy artillery.

By that time, if I can't learn mathematics well, I'm too embarrassed to have sex.

[Firing range calculations, you can learn the skill "Mathematics", do you want to learn it? 】

Math skills!

When Su Ze went to the county this time, he tried many ways but failed to learn math skills. Unexpectedly, when he returned to Changningwei, he learned math skills on the shooting range.

"study!"

[The original mathematical knowledge of the host was detected and rated as Lv3. 】

It's still too late to time travel. If you time travel after the college entrance examination, you will be rated as Lv5 in mathematics.

With Lv3 math skills, many formulas with vague memories came to mind. Lin Mojun only felt that Su Ze's speed was faster, and the entire paper was filled in a short while.

After roughly calculating the most suitable marching speed and shooting distance for the blunderbuss, Su Ze asked the soldiers to load gunpowder of different weights to determine the most suitable loading amount.

This is the role of mathematics. There is a detour in the use of firearms in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, that is, there is no quantitative analysis of the amount of gunpowder and the shooting power. The greater the power.

He even invented the "double filling method", which is a combat method where the more the better.

But in fact, more is never better in this world.

The double filling method greatly increases the probability of the firearm exploding, but doubling the powder does not bring twice the lethality. The lethality of the bird gun is not only related to the kinetic energy provided by the powder burning, but also related to the power of the bird gun. Caliber, lead weight, and barrel length are all relevant.

And Su Ze wants to use mathematics to accurately fill the gunpowder, which was originally determined by experience and intuition, to a more scientific amount, so that the gunpowder can be used to the maximum extent.

By collecting these shooting data, Su Ze can formulate more scientific fighting methods and design more scientific firearms.

After Su Ze finished the calculation, Lin Mojun couldn't bear it anymore.

Didn't you agree to come to help me train my troops? Why did Su Ze write and calculate as soon as he came to the shooting range, wasting so much ammunition, seeing that it was getting dark, Su Ze didn't even say a single improvement suggestion.

Lin Mojun also knew in her heart that such things as military training cannot be accomplished overnight.

But Lin Mojun couldn't help feeling anxious when she thought that King Lu had already arrived in the open sea.

The killing of her father and her enemy was at the other end of the sea. Originally, Chang Ning Wei had absolutely no chance of revenge, but Su Ze gave her hope.

After having hope, she will naturally ask for more. Lin Mojun just hopes that Su Ze can perform the "miracle" again as before.

Before Lin Mojun could speak, Su Ze said:

"Baihu, I already know the problem."

Lin Mojun was taken aback, got it? This is the end?

The gunners of Changningwei also looked at Su Ze one after another. After tossing everyone for so long, no one knew what Su Ze was going to do.

Su Ze raised the paper in his hand and said, "I already know the problems, and now we start to change them one by one."

"The first is the problem of close-range shooting. Because of the recoil of the bird gun, the muzzle of the gun will be lifted up when shooting flat. When shooting at fifty paces, don't aim at the chest, but aim at the enemy's feet."

After saying this, Su Ze randomly ordered ten gunners, asked them to stand in front of the straw man target, and started a round of shooting.

The flames and smoke dissipated, only to see a big hole in the chest of the six straw figures, and the arms and arms of the other four straw figures were also injured.

Lin Mojun was stunned. The problem of shooting accuracy at close range has been bothering her. Su Ze solved this problem with one sentence?

Lin Mojun knew that Su Ze was amazing, but wasn't this amazing?

Su Ze took the paper and continued:

"The next step is the formation in the march. According to my calculations, the hit rate of shooting from 200 paces away is close to 10 shots. To effectively kill the enemy, you must shoot within 200 paces from the enemy. .”

"And counting from 200 paces, counting your marching time and loading time, before fighting the enemy hand-to-hand, each person only has two chances to shoot."

"Everyone remember these two shooting opportunities. These two opportunities are very important. To break the morale of the enemy within these two times, you must arrange the shooting distance reasonably."

Su Ze called the names of two more people, both of whom had outstanding shooting results just now. Su Ze divided the 70 people into two platoons and appointed them as platoon leaders.

Su Ze pulled the two people aside and said:

"Follow my order. All the gunners are divided into two rows. The two rows take turns to shoot according to my order. They will shoot at 200 steps, 150 steps, 100 steps and 50 steps respectively. Do you understand?"

The two newly elected platoon leaders nodded immediately, and Su Ze divided the blunderbuss into two rows, and asked people to fill up the straw man targets again, and they all stood in the shooting range.

At this time, the school field had finished training, so they came to the edge of the shooting range to watch the gunners train.

These days Lin Mojun was training in the shooting range, and the Changning guards on the school ground were a little dissatisfied.

Compared with the musketeers selected from the rest of the army, the soldiers of Changning Guard felt that they were the main force.

At this time, they gathered around the shooting range just to watch the jokes of the gunners.

Seeing the two weak long-wing formations of the gunners, the soldiers laughed even more.

Wouldn't such a weak front line be broken at once? Without the protection of pawns, the gunner is too weak!

The pitiful hit of the bird gun also made these pawns feel that it was not worth the effort to train them.

Su Ze didn't drive away the onlookers, but let them watch from the sidelines.

The bird gunners were divided into two rows, and Su Ze gave an order and began to move forward crookedly.

The whole team was very funny, and the soldiers burst into laughter.

Su Ze concentrated his attention, and when he was 200 steps away from the target, Su Ze shouted: "First row, shoot!"

After the gunshots, Su Ze ordered the first row to continue to move forward and reload. When the second row reached 150 steps, Su Ze ordered the second row to shoot again.

Shoot at 100 paces and shoot at 50 paces.

The gunpowder smoke cleared on the shooting range, and the two rows of gunners lost their formation due to chaotic steps.

The soldiers laughed loudly, and Lin Baihu also looked at Su Ze. Is this his tactic?

At this moment, a sharp-eyed soldier shouted, "Target!"
