My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 102 Firearm Age Cheats - Footwork

Everyone followed the voice and looked at the target in the shooting range.

For the convenience of training, these target people are dummies made of grass.

I only saw that these rough dummies were already full of bullet holes, and a few unlucky dummies were sieved by lead bullets!

The soldiers of Changning Guard gasped.

Although they laughed at the formation of the gunners and their shooting accuracy, no one would laugh at the power of the gunners.

If you are hit by a lead bullet from a bird gun, you will lose a layer of skin even if you miss the vital point!

The tragic situation of those target people in the middle of the shooting range, if they were replaced by real people, they would be dead and could not die anymore!

And what did the bird gun team pay here?

They only walked two hundred steps along the goal, that is, each loaded once and pulled the trigger twice!

The bird gun team only needs to follow the instructions to take a few steps to hit the straw man target in front of them like this.

Some pawns have already begun to think, if they replace the straw man with themselves, can they survive this tragic battlefield?

The answer is of course no, unless you turn around and run away before the blunderbuss team approaches, once you enter the range of the blunderbuss team, it will be a dead end!

The guards were in a great shock. In the face of such power, what's the point of their long spears and swords after training for so long?

You must know that these bird gunners have only been trained for less than a month! Some of them are not even guards, they were farmers working in the fields a month ago!

Only after training for a month, you can have such power!

All this makes it difficult for those who have sweated and endured hardships on the school grounds to accept.

But the impact received by the pawn is not as strong as that received by Lin Mojun.

Lin Mojun naturally knows what a gunslinger who has been training for many days looks like.

She never thought that the gunners gathered together to use it would be so powerful!

Within the salvo range of a certain distance, the accuracy of personal shooting has changed from accidental hit to inevitable hit.

The power of statistics and probability theory turned a tenth of a hit into a guaranteed hit, and turned a few bursts of damage into rows of comprehensive damage.

The impact of this war doctrine on Lin Mojun was enormous.

But Lin Mojun, who is good at thinking, quickly thought of another question.

The gunslinger is so powerful that when fighting in coastal areas, the traditional pikemen and long swords are completely unnecessary!

Lin Mojun had led soldiers before, and the gunner shot four times in two rounds, almost all of them hit the straw men on the shooting range.

In the era of cold weapons, an army can be regarded as a well-disciplined and strong army if it can reduce its staff by 50% without collapsing.

As long as the ordinary army has a 30% casualty rate, it has almost no will to fight.

The lethality of the bird gunner is enough to defeat any infantry composed of spearmen or swordsmen in two rounds!

The only way Lin Mojun could think of to deal with such a terrifying power was to use cavalry to charge, quickly rush into the team of the gunners, and disrupt the formation of the gunners, so as to have a chance of winning.

And where is there cavalry in the southeast?

This has been a strong self-denial for Lin Mojun, who has been training soldiers according to the family's military manual.

Could it be that the way I have been training soldiers all along will be useless in the future?

Not only the Changning Guards, but the entire southeast and even the entire Ming Dynasty's infantry are useless?

[Firing range training, art of war +30, Lv3, 61/300]

Su Ze looked at the sun that was about to set, dismissed the gunners and the onlookers, and led Lin Mojun with a buzzing head to the Baihu Office under the sunset.

"Are these training methods of mine useless any more?"

After a long silence, Lin Mojun finally raised her head and asked Su Ze.

Su Ze smiled, but shook his head and said, "I know your self-doubt, but I want to tell you that the bird gun team's performance today is precisely because of your training these days."

"This is not to comfort hundreds of households, but an army that uses firearms, which needs more training and drills."

Lin Mojun still thought Su Ze was comforting herself. She shook her head and said, "Many of them were still farming a month ago. I just let them get familiar with military discipline and loading movements. Anyone can train a gunner."

Su Ze said firmly: "Of course not."

"Do you think such a gunslinger is enough?"

Lin Mojun thought of those straw man targets who were about to be smashed to pieces, and asked, "Is this not enough?"

"Of course not enough. The target is dead, but the battlefield is alive. The battlefield is changing rapidly. Do you think the enemy will stand right in front of you and wait for you to crush it?"

Lin Mojun had been on the battlefield, she nodded and said, "That's not true."

Su Ze went on to say: "There are pursuits, encounters, and turns on the battlefield. Do you think our Changning Guard's blunderbuss team can deal with the flank ambush?"

Lin Mojun shook her head and said, "No."

Su Ze said solemnly: "What is war? War is to exhaust all possibilities to win the final victory. If there is a problem in any link, the outcome of the war will be completely different."

"You have seen the power of the Changning Guard bird gun team now, but I have many ways to defeat it with ordinary infantry."

"But as long as we continue to train, this blunderbuss team can make up for these shortcomings and become an invincible army."

After hearing Su Ze's words, Lin Mojun rekindled her hope.

She was not shocked by the lethality of the blunderbuss team, but was shocked by the fact that such an untrained unit could cause such a large amount of damage, and she began to doubt the education she had received as a professional officer for so many years , does it still make sense.

But Su Ze told her that even a musketeer needs training to make up for the shortcomings in tactics, and let Lin Mojun understand that as a trainer of the first army, she still has meaning on the battlefield!

"How will the bird gun team train?"

Su Ze immediately said: "Footwork!"

"footwork?"

Footwork itself is also a necessary item in traditional military training. How to advance a neatly lined army formation naturally requires uniform footwork.

However, in traditional military training, more attention is paid to the skills of fighting on the battlefield. As long as the footwork can maintain the formation, the requirements are not very high.

What kind of neat footwork do you expect from a classical army that can't distinguish between left and right?

Almost all those who have participated in military training hate marching and marching training. In the era of modern warfare, marching and marching do not seem to have any value except for looking good during the leadership review.

But in fact, in history, the most important development that allowed firearms to replace cold weapons to dominate the battlefield was the development of footwork.

In this era of "queuing up to shoot", the neatness of the queue is the guarantee for a musket force to fight.

In the era of the Napoleonic Wars when flintlock guns began to be used on a large scale, one of the reasons why the French musketeers were stronger than the armies of other countries was that the French army was highly trained.

This is reflected in the footwork. At that time, the Prussian and British troops could only use two footworks, the regular step and the quick step, but the French army was able to approach the regular step and the quick step. The "quick footwork" at running speed advances in rapid marches.

In that era, only the French army could advance at such a speed and still maintain its camp. This is also a big reason why the French army crossed the continent in Napoleon's era.

Footwork is not only related to marching speed, it is also very important when the army is turning and interspersed with each other. To enable an army to maintain formation on a chaotic battlefield, it requires long-term hard training and the commander's on-the-spot command ability.

For Su Ze, he has military concepts in his mind, but Su Ze has no time for him to lead troops to train in Changning Guard for a long time.

Lin Mojun, who has great prestige in Changningwei and possesses considerable military literacy, is the best choice.

Su Ze handed the footwork training book he wrote to Lin Mojun, and then said: "This is the training method I wrote. I will start training formation and footwork from tomorrow, and I will train turning and changing formations after the formation is in order. .”

Lin Mojun took the military letter handed over by Su Ze, and looked at Su Ze gratefully. Any military commander with aspirations is full of desire when faced with advanced military concepts.

Lin Mojun vaguely felt a wave, a wave of earth-shaking changes in military thinking and military tactics.

Lin Mojun, who has a very strong military talent, vaguely feels that this wave will not only happen to the infantry, but will even affect the combat thinking of the whole world.

Lin Mojun said gratefully: "I will definitely train well!"

Su Ze sent Lin Mojun back to the Hundred Households. The land of China has never been short of military strategists. In this land, countless military geniuses have sprung up crazily. There will always be someone who will stand up and provoke the burden of the entire nation at the most dangerous time. .

Lin Mojun is talented and hardworking, and she is a guide who has cheats. As long as she takes time, she will be able to train Changningwei's bird gun team.

However, lead bullets and gunpowder are still a problem. Why don't we go to Yanpingwei's gunpowder bureau the next time we enter the city and buy some gunpowder from that Ma Baihu?

Maybe it is true, Xu Shisheng was Yanpingwei's channel for smuggling gunpowder, now that Xu Shisheng is dead, this channel may be broken, maybe Ma Baihu still welcomes Su Ze to buy gunpowder?

Although he has firearms manufacturing skills, his level is still very low, and he still needs to explore more to produce qualified lead bullets and gunpowder.

Bird guns need two kinds of gunpowder, the first kind is the priming powder filled in the gunpowder chamber and the charging powder filled in the gun chamber. These are two different kinds of gunpowder. These two types of gunpowder still need further exploration.

There is also the manufacture of standard lead bullets. In addition, during the Napoleon period, there was also a "coated bullet" wrapped in paper or animal skin. This bullet has better airtightness and higher shooting accuracy, but the loading of the coated bullet A long time will affect the shooting speed, so Su Ze only plans to select those who have shooting talents to use the coated bullets after the bird gun team is formed.

In addition, there is also the possibility of improving the bird gun. For example, rifling technology can also increase the hit rate of bullets.

It's just that Su Ze's firearms manufacturing skill level is still very low, and there is no way to carry out such advanced transformations.

The manufacture of firearms should also include the technology of casting cannons, maybe at Lv5 can also cast cannons?

Su Ze walked towards the family temple while thinking.

When he returned to his family temple, he met Lin Xianyang who was looking around in front of the family temple.

"Brother Aze, my father invites you to discuss matters in the ancestral hall."

Another discussion?

Su Ze can only feel that there are so many things in a small Changning Guard. It is so difficult to govern a county, a government, or even a province and a country. It is not like clicking a button in the game, and the policy can be implemented steadily. The facilities will be built automatically.

Walking into the ancestral hall, Su Ze found that the old grandpa seemed to have a faint smile on his face?

The normally serious old man had a faint smile on his face, and Jiu Aunt even grinned directly.

The atmosphere of today's discussion is very cheerful, and it seems that something good has happened.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Ze came in, the old man said, "Sit down, Su Ze. I invite you to come here today. It's the Chen family from Back Mountain."

"Back the mountain Chen family?"

Su Ze thought, isn't this the village where Changningwei fought?

It wasn't that the last time they fought with weapons, it wasn't that the Chen family had already conceded defeat and gave up the reed field. Could it be that they still want to fight for the reed field?

This is not acceptable, Su Ze is also involved in the ashi field.

Seeing Su Ze's serious face, the old man immediately said, "Relax, the Back Mountain Chen family is here to show their sincerity this time."

That is to say, the Chen family behind the mountain came to be soft?

That's not right, it's been so long since the fight, how can anyone come to give in now?

Su Ze looked at the old man suspiciously, and Lin Xianyang behind him explained:

"This time, the envoys of the Chen family from the back of the mountain came here to discuss the water source with our Changning Guard."

Oh, Su Ze suddenly realized that it was for the source of water.

From ancient times to the present, competition for water sources between villages has been a major problem. Even in modern times, rural disputes basically revolve around water sources.

The geographical location of Changningwei is good, a stream flows into the sea from here, and the mouth of the sea is the reed field.

This river is a tributary of the Minjiang River. People in Yanping Prefecture call it Jianxi, and Changningwei almost completely occupies the lower reaches of Jianxi.

The river that Beishan Village relies on for drinking and irrigation is a tributary of Jianxi. The water level of this tributary is very unstable. The last time the Chen family competed for the reed field, in addition to coveting the output of the reed field, it was also the water source for Jianxi to compete for the mouth of the sea.

The weather in Fujian today is also a bit abnormal. The rainy season has not yet arrived, and the water level of Jianxi has dropped a lot. The branch of Jianxi in Beishan Village is almost cut off.

This is also the reason why Beishan Chen, who had been fighting with Changningwei, suddenly gave in.

Cutting off the water source is a devastating disaster in an agricultural society, and the biggest industry of the Chen family is the cotton field, which is also a cash crop that requires a lot of water. Without sufficient water for irrigation, the cotton will wither, and the loss of the Chen family behind the mountain is too big.

So it turned out that the corners of Su Ze's mouth also turned upwards. Since the Chen family from the back mountain came to his door, the last time the thirty-two weapon fines were fined can be settled.
