The Rise of the European Emperor

The musketeers of the Principality of Gedes are imitating the early musketeers of Marin, all using Mushkert muskets with a projectile weight of 50 grams. This arquebus seems relatively bulky, but its lethality is really good.

The 50-gram projectile has extremely powerful kinetic energy. And the distance of 50 steps can also ensure that the Mushkert musket has a relatively high hit rate. Therefore, the Guedes Musketeers achieved good results in the first round, and about 300 North Sea soldiers were shot...

According to the calculation of more than 600 people in each row of three-stage strikes, the hit rate of the Gerdes Musketeers in this round is as high as 50%...

Moreover, because the projectile is very heavy and has great kinetic energy, the results obtained are also great. For those Beihai soldiers who were hit, the wounds were extremely terrifying and the 50-gram lead bullets continued to roll after hitting the human body, often causing large gunshot wounds at the mouth of the bowl. Since then, blood is described as spray...

Fortunately, the soldiers in the first three rows of Beihai soldiers wore high-carbon steel breastplates. Although, the high carbon steel breastplate can not withstand the impact of 50 grams of heavy lead bullets. However, because of the cushioning of the chest plate, the lead bullet did not cause terrible penetrating damage to the hit person, but used powerful kinetic energy to cause a huge impact on the hit person. The consequence of this is that the person who was shot was shocked by the powerful kinetic energy, and several ribs were broken. Some people were even stunned on the spot, but they were still alive...

Therefore, in this round of shooting, two-thirds of the more than 300 Beihai soldiers who were shot were shot in the chest, and most of the damage was offset by their chest plate armor. alive.

It's just that most of the soldiers who were not hit on the chest plate were miserable, either died on the spot or were hit on the limbs, and the trauma was extremely serious. Even if he survives the event, he cannot escape the tragic end of amputation...

Although Marin invented alcohol, which can disinfect. However, buckshot damage is different. In addition to trauma, there was severe lead poisoning. Therefore, a soldier injured by lead bullets is difficult to heal unless the lead bullet passes through and does not stay in the body for too long. Those who were beaten to the limbs may have to choose amputation. And with alcohol, the possibility of surviving after amputation at most greatly increases...

...

Facing the attack of the Guedes musketeers, the musketeers of Beihai Kingdom were naturally not to be outdone. Under the command of Schwartz, the three thousand musketeers of the North Sea fought back.

Because of the use of clockwork muskets without arquebuses, they were able to form a denser formation than arquebusiers, and twice as dense laterally as arquebusiers. Likewise, the bullet density is twice that of the opponent...

"Fire!" Thousands of musketeers in the first row formed a denser formation and launched an attack on the opposite Geddes musketeers front.

"Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap ..." bursts of gunshots came, the Gedes army camp there was a chaos. Because, the first round of shooting by the North Sea country musketeers caused more than 700 casualties to the opponent. Moreover, most of the casualties were musketeers.

This was specifically requested by Schwartz, because Schwartz believed that the musketeers were the most threatening to the army of the opposing army. Therefore, when the North Sea country musketeers are fighting back, they naturally give priority to attacking the opponent's musketeers.

With the smoke rising in front of the battle, the Guedes musketeers who fired in the second round were a little dazed. why? Because the gunpowder smoke rising in front of the Beihai team affected their aiming...

So, in the second round of shooting, the hit rate of the Gerdes Musketeers dropped. However, the second round of Beihai musketeers' shooting was not greatly affected. Because the musketeers of Beihai Kingdom are all old musketeers of the First and Second Corps. They have seen many scenes and have rich experience. In the face of this situation, they are not panicked, but still based on memory, calm down. Raise the musket and continue to shoot parallel to the original direction...

In the era of black powder, the smoke raised by the black powder had an impact on the aiming of the musketeer when firing with a platoon of guns. Therefore, when shooting, the musketeer needs to make some countermeasures according to the situation. simplest,

It is to simulate this scenario in advance. For example, the musketeers of the First Corps and Second Corps of the North Sea Country once did a live simulation. How to simulate? It is to have two musketeers stand facing each other and then "shoot" each other... Of course, this is not real shooting, otherwise the casualties will be too great. Marin had the musketeers fire at each other with only gunpowder, not lead. In this way, the scene of gunpowder smoke rising during mutual shooting is simulated, but it will not cause casualties to soldiers...

After many drills, the veteran musketeers of the First Army and Second Army had become accustomed to the scene of gunpowder smoke on both sides, which did not affect their shooting.

However, the musketeers of the Principality of Gerdes were not trained in this regard. Their previous training was all targeting training, and they had already adapted to the scene of the rising gunpowder smoke from their own positions. However, I never felt the scene where the opposite position was also filled with smoke. When they first saw the scene where the opposing troops were wrapped in smoke, many of the Guedes Musketeers were stunned for a while, not knowing how to aim...

On the contrary, the 3,000 musketeers on the Beihai team's position were not affected by the smoky scene on both sides. After memorizing the approximate orientation of the first round of aiming, they just raised the barrel horizontally and continued to shoot at the position of the musketeers on the opposite position...

For a time, lead bullets flew around on the battlefield, and the positions of both sides were filled with smoke, like a fairyland. The only difference from the fairyland is that what came from the smoke was not the frolic of the fairies, but the screams of the elders, listening to people...

...

Schwartz stood on a stool in the phalanx, staring hard with the telescope... However, he couldn't see clearly either. The smoke rising from the musketeers on both sides seriously affected his observation. So, he decided to take a closer look...

However, when he ran to a position about 100 meters close to the enemy's line, suddenly there was a "boom" in the air. Schwartz was startled, but soon, the head of an unfortunate soldier one meter away was concentrated by the flying lead bullet... Then, the red blood mixed with the white brains burst out, spraying A look at Schwartz...

"I'm %#$..." Schwartz was also frightened by Nima, the musket's killing was terrible and disgusting...

It stands to reason that here is a full 100 meters from the front row of musketeers of the enemy. At this distance, it is difficult for the opponent's musketeer to aim. However, Marin also said that the distance of 100 meters is not safe, and he may be fooled by the enemy. Therefore, in previous battles, as long as there were muskets and artillery in the enemy's formation, Marin would usually stand on the rear high platform, 300 meters away from the enemy's formation, and use binoculars to observe it from a distance. why is it like this? Obviously Marin is afraid of death...

Marin is a person who has died once, so he naturally knows how precious life is. Therefore, he would never put himself in a dangerous situation. According to the level of weapons of this era, the musket is likely to be caught within 100 meters. Then install the Fran cannon, which can also hit 300 meters away. Therefore, Marin generally prefers a distance of more than 400 meters from the enemy line. In this way, the enemy's artillery can't cover it...

Although Schwartz did not object to Marin's fear of death, he was still a little disgusted with it. After all, Schwartz is a man of this era, and he is a descendant of knights. He advocates bravery and does not like to shrink back.

But this time, Schwartz understood Marin's concerns...

Why? On the frontal charge, Schwartz is not afraid. Because, dying in battle is the romance of knights...

But people have different ways of dying, and it is honorable to die in battle against the enemy. However, being killed by the enemy's stray bullets is not so glorious. It can only be said that the one who was killed by the stray bullet was not a hero, but an unlucky one... For example, the one beside Schwartz...

Seeing the terrifying scene of red and white blood and brains spraying together, even the daring Schwartz felt terrified in his heart to die like this, which is not honorable, and disgusting...

Therefore, Schwartz made up his mind that the next time he directs the army to shoot muskets against people, he will never stand at a distance of 100 meters from the enemy's line to observe...

However, this time, he was riding a tiger. Because, he knows, now he can't go back. Once he timidly backs off, it could seriously affect morale. Seriously, it may lead to a crash. So, despite the fear of being hit by a stray bullet, Schwartz pretended to stay calm and cheered the soldiers loudly...

Fortunately, Schwartz's personal guard, Hartz, saw the dilemma of his master, so Hartz specially arranged a few tall guards to stand in front of Schwartz. In this way, even if the stray bullet hits, it will hit the tall guards in front of Schwartz first...

Although it was inhumane to do so, this was the 16th century, an era of strict hierarchy. In this era, the guards were responsible for shielding the master from swords and bullets. In the Houjin army more than 100 years later, if the master died in battle, the guards would even be executed and buried with him... (Tianjin Novel Network)
