Stop shooting! Ke Gongyu shouted. After shouting, Ke Gongyu pulled out his waist knife, and he also regretted it in his heart, if he could have carried out live-fire combat training at the entire brigade level earlier, his command this time would definitely be better.

Seven days ago, new rifles began to be gradually equipped with the teaching brigade, and these new guns really scared Ke Gongyu. As the core combat strength of the Weeser troops, the training of the teaching brigade is the most rigorous. The core of platoon combat is that soldiers can fight according to the officer's command, regardless of artillery, rifle or anything else on the other side. In order to increase combat efficiency, all officers and men of the teaching brigade must not only learn how to kill the enemy, but also learn more knowledge. For example, the structure, characteristics, principles of the arquebus. How to troubleshoot the faults that are prone to occur when shooting.

The flint rifles that were assigned to the teaching brigade were very different from the arquebuses. The difference is not the basic principle, the barrel of these two weapons is not different from the shot, it is the gunpowder in the powder pool, and the small hole in the guò gun is sprayed into the barrel, igniting the gunpowder in the barrel. However, the arquebus uses a fire rope to ignite the gunpowder in the fire pool, and the flint gun uses leaf springs to hit the flint, and the sparks from the flint ignite the gunpowder in the fire pool.

In order to further reduce the number of steps, Weeser also processed the bullets. The fighters no longer use gunpowder sacs and lead sacs, and the bullets provided by the military industry are fixed-loading bullets, and a small paper bag is glued to the back of the warhead, and the paper bag contains gunpowder. When firing, the leaf spring is forcefully applied, and then the small paper bag behind the bullet is bitten open, and a little gunpowder is poured into the fire pool. The bullet is then stuffed into the muzzle of the gun in a paper bag, and the bullet is fed into the barrel with a strip. After completing these three steps, the fighters took aim and pulled the trigger. The leaf spring ignites the flint fire, and the spark ignites the gunpowder in the fire pool, and the gunpowder is sprayed into the chamber of the gun, igniting the projectile.

The original dozen steps have been simplified to six, and each step is simpler and clearer. In particular, the new way of loading bullets has greatly reduced the possibility of throwing east and west. Even if you don't shoot the first time, you can pull the leaf spring again and continue to pull the trigger. It's much better than an arquebus.

After the soldiers of the teaching brigade mastered more than a dozen shooting steps by beating the baton, they learned these six steps of the new gun, and they didn't even need to play the baton. The brothers mastered the technique of shooting in just half a day. After everyone learned to use the new gun, they complained that if they had pulled down this weapon earlier, they would have to take less beatings on their butts.

This was the first time that an entire brigade-level battle had seen the power of the new weapon with his own eyes as Ke Gongyu, who was already very confident in the new weapon. In order for the triple strike to be sustainable, it requires very rigorous training. Not to mention that the brothers, who have suffered hundreds of military sticks, are now extremely easy to maintain a continuous three-stage strike. There was no rush, no tired whirring, six steps went back and forth, and the sound of the gun did not stop at all.

In less than five minutes, the 400 rifles of the teaching brigade fired 12 volleys, and the front team of the Qing army on the opposite side could not even come out with a single salvo, and it was already baptized under the rain of bullets composed of at least 4,700 bullets.

The arquebus often could not fire twelve rounds of salvos in the whole battle, and in the face of 20,000 men with 3,000 men under Guiyang City, Ke Gongyu's musket unit was already extremely good, and nine rounds of salvo were fired in half an hour of battle. The troops, now equipped with new guns, fired twelve rounds in less than five minutes, and the barrels of the muskets were so hot that they could no longer be used.

"Don't do it again next time!" Annoyed in his heart, Ke Gongyu saw that the Qing army once had a thousand people in the front team of more than 500 guys who could still run like frightened sheep and scattered, Ke Gongyu became even more annoyed, "Leave a few rounds to fight at this time, how many Qing demons can be killed!" ”

Zhang Guoliang's troops were indeed relatively strong, and they braved the rain of bullets and tried to advance from a distance of sixty paces to forty paces. However, this kind of toughness only ended up in a failed result, and it was precisely because of the misjudgment of the Taiping Army's continuous shooting ability that they suffered heavy losses. And when the Taiping army could not continue shooting because the barrels of muskets were too hot, the morale of the Qing army had completely collapsed.

Ke Gongyu saw the line of death left behind the retreating Qing army, and it is said that the chamber of the new rifle also moved some tricks, but after Wei Ze told Ke Gongyu about this, he strictly ordered Ke Gongyu not to leak the news. Now, the new rifle has not only increased its shooting, but also greatly improved its range and accuracy. Among the more than 500 people who fled, 100 were shot and stumbled trying to escape for their lives. The width of the death line clearly presented on the battlefield was more than thirty paces wide, and on this ground, there were corpses lying on the ground and screaming and dying creatures.

Compared with courage, Ke Gongyu thinks that he will not be worse than anyone else. Even if the barrel of the gun could not continue to shoot, Ke Gongyu did not have the slightest fear. At this time, what was even more fearful was Zhang Guoliang on the other side, and what Ke Gongyu had to do at this time was not to give Zhang Guoliang a chance to breathe, but to continue to exert strong pressure.

"Drums! The pikemen step forward, the troops advance! "Ke Gongyu gave a new order!

To the sound of the drums, the pikemen ran to the front row, and then the captains of the guards shouted and began to march with the ranks of the soldiers to the beat of the drums. After the troops had walked a distance of about fifty paces, the pikemen mercilessly assassinated the Qing soldiers who had not yet died on the death line.

After a scream, the pikemen cleared the enemy, and the troops began to continue their advance in the direction of the Qing army.

At this time, the defeated Qing army had returned to the formation, and it could be seen that Zhang Guoliang's pressing troops had poisoned the guys who fled for their lives, and some Qing troops were killed. Although such a thunderous method stabilized the position, it also hit the morale of the Qing army.

The teaching brigade easily approached the distance of about 6o steps of the Qing army, and the barrel was still very hot, but it was no longer an untouchable temperature.

"Stop!" Ke Gongyu ordered. As soon as the drums changed, the marching troops stopped their advance and began to stand still.

"Spearmen retreat! Musketeers reload! Ke Gongyu continued. The sound of moving leaf springs passed, and the troops began to reload again.

Zhang Guoliang's troops just watched the teaching brigade calmly make tactical moves, not only did they not react in an orderly manner, but they did not even reload gunpowder.

"Prepare for on-the-go shooting!" Ke Gongyu looked at the stupidity of Zhang Guoliang's troops, and his heart was greatly relaxed. He wanted to keep the barrel of the musket a little cooler before continuing the fight.

Zhang Guoliang is Zhang Guoliang after all, and his troops have not collapsed after such a blow. The troops of the teaching brigade completed their preparations and were waiting, and Zhang Guoliang's troops also had a new movement. The first formation, which was no longer able to fight, retreated, and the second formation also changed formation. From one column to two columns.

The two columns were also divided into three teams, the front, the middle and the rear, and the first team appeared in the first team of soldiers carrying more than three feet long, arms thick and thin guns, and some relatively strong Qing troops, carrying some things like crockpots in their hands also arrived at the first formation of the Qing army.

Ke Gongyu praised Zhang Guoliang again in his heart, being able to prepare the second formation after the collapse of the first formation, this skill is really extraordinary. It can be seen that Zhang Guoliang chose to use powerful assault firepower to confront the Taiping Army in the face of the intensive firepower of the Taiping Army. What looked like a clay pot was supposed to be a fire pot, a very primitive grenade. Fill the jar with gunpowder, light the fuse, and throw it with all your might. The gun is a shotgun, and if fired at close range, it is enough to kill and wound a dozen people. These weapons are a great way to break through enemy formations at close range.

Compared with Zhang Guoliang's changeable formation, Ke Gongyu had to admit that the teaching brigade had only one formation until now, that is, to line up and fight against the enemy.

"Start shooting in advance!" Ke Gongyu ordered. At this time, the barrel of the gun had not completely cooled, and Ke Gongyu hurriedly issued this order, firstly, because he was a little afraid of the Qing army's guns and fire pot impact, hoping to disrupt the enemy's arrangement by taking the initiative to attack. The second is that Ke Gongyu is greedy, and a large amount of gunpowder and lead are required to carry guns and fire pots, and if these Qing troops can be solved, the capture after the war will be very rich. The new muskets are sharp, but the consumption of ammunition and lead is also very large. Wei Ze had already ordered that after the war, the lead that had been shot out must be recovered, even if it was taken from the corpses of the Qing army, and the bullets had to be taken out as much as possible.

Rather than so laborious, it is better to capture it after winning the battle. If you want to capture more, you have to let the Qing army shoot as little as possible on the battlefield.

With a command, the first platoon of musketeers began to shoot, and the bullets flew over a distance of 6o paces and entered the Qing army's array. This time, the Qing army lined up in two columns, and the column was fired from the left and right directions, because the intensity of firepower increased, and the Qing army's losses were greater than the casualties of the first formation.

When the first platoon finished firing, it stood still and began to reload. The second and third rows crossed the first row and then took five steps forward and stopped, and the second row began to fire. After the second row finished firing, the third row crossed the second row and walked forward five steps to continue shooting. By this time the first platoon had been loaded, and their muzzles were raised to the sky, and they marched forward in small steps, crossed the third platoon, and then took five more steps forward, continuing to shoot continuously.

The formation of the teaching brigade was only such a horizontal line of shooting, so various tricks were played in this way of lining up for shooting. Although it is not as capable as the British lobster soldiers, it is more than poked and poked by the Qing army in the field.

In these years, one step in shooting was 1.5 meters, and in the training of the teaching brigade, five steps forward was about two meters, and each column walked forward more than two meters, and the distance between it and the Qing army began to slowly shorten. At about 5o paces, the Qing musket team also began to counterattack, and two or three Taiping brothers were shot. The brothers in the back row immediately took up the vacant position.

The teaching brigade did not care at all about such a small loss, the troops were still constantly advancing, shooting. When the distance between the two sides was shortened to 4o paces, each musketeer of the Taiping army fired six bullets, and the Qing army only fought two. Facing the Taiping army that kept coming up, the Qing army was still facing the Taiping army, but its footsteps had begun to retreat. The only significance of this approach was to make the Qing army shoot more slowly and increase casualties.

It seems that Zhang Guoliang also saw the problem, and suddenly, more than 200 people stood out in the rear team of the Qing army, and they did not hold muskets, but roared, holding knives and guns and charged. It seems that Zhang Guoliang gave up musket shooting with the Taiping army, and is going to play with his life!

"Stop shooting, get on the bayonet!" Ke Gongyu said. The new musket has a slender barrel, and several iron hoops hold the barrel firmly to the barrel. The musketeers pulled out a nipple with an iron ring at the tail from the lower waist, which was attached to the muzzle of the musket and fastened with a latch. The musket was originally more than a meter long, and the head of the spear was more than one meter and four. It's naturally not easy to use compared to a spear, but against a single knife, it still has a big advantage in attack range.

The Qing army didn't expect that the 4oo musketeers on the opposite side would become short gunners who could assassinate in an instant, and it was too late to change the team.

"The pikes lead the charge!" Ke Gongyu did not give the Qing army any opportunity to adjust, and immediately gave the order to charge.

The spear team was in front, the short spear team was behind, and the five hundred hand-to-hand combat troops went up against the Qing army's troops, and the white-bladed troops on both sides collided together, and a burst of screams broke out in an instant. The characteristics of the Qing army's lack of hand-to-hand combat were undoubtedly revealed at this time, and in just three or four rounds, the Qing army that was fighting hand-to-hand was defeated. Those who dared to fight hand-to-hand were already the elite of the Qing army, and as these elites began to flee, the Qing army's troops had completely collapsed.

The collapse of Zhang Guoliang's forces set off a chain reaction, and they fled to another Qing army led by Deliang. The Qing army led by Deliang was originally trying to attack another 500-strong force of the Taiping army, but when Zhang Guoliang's troops fled, Deliang's troops did not organize a defense at all and tried to counterattack. Instead, he turned his head and began to flee.

The Taiping army on the opposite side of Deliang immediately launched a pursuit, and the Taiping army of 1,000 people pursued the Qing army of more than 3,000 people, and chased it out for nearly ten miles. The Qing army threw away everything they could throw away, and there were all kinds of weapons along the road, even military uniforms and shoes. The Qing soldiers, who felt that their clothes were in the way, took off their uniforms and tried to reduce the weight they carried as they fled. In the process of escaping, it was not one or two who ran away with their shoes.

In the pursuit, four or five hundred Qing troops were killed, and Ke Gongyu ordered the troops to stop the pursuit and begin to collect the troops. After this battle, the captured lead and gunpowder were much larger than those consumed. In particular, the Qing army carried money with them, and more than 100,000 copper coins and thousands of taels of silver were found from more than 1,000 Qing soldiers who died in battle. This is not a small amount.

Among the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield were brothers from the military hospital, who were responsible for removing lead from the corpses. Although Ke Gongyu didn't know why Wei Ze was so calculating, but the brothers of the teaching brigade didn't have to pick up lead, so Ke Gongyu didn't criticize the military hospital at all.

"You think we didn't do a good job, you guys!" These are all lip service, and for Ke Gongyu, meaningless criticism is completely unnecessary. At this time, what Ke Gongyu wanted most was to go back to the city and report to Wei Ze, and to have today's status was completely the result of Wei Ze's wisdom and understanding. After a big victory, the person Ke Gongyu wanted to sue the most was Wei Ze.
