Blue military coat, white half-trousers, stockings, black leather boots, long shoe covers, black tricorne, 1756 brown bass flintlock pistol, and brown bass socket bayonet.

When sixty people with pigtails, yellow faces, wearing two untidy rows of untidy uniforms, walked towards Ye Kai, he was surrounded by an extremely strong sense of unreality!

These sixty people were the elite of the Ye family selected by his father Ye Fulai, and they were all sent to the French military camp in Chonburi according to Ye Kai's requirements and trained for half a month.

Behind them, Anna, the golden silk cat who hadn't seen her for almost a month, was looking at Ye Kai with a smile on her face.

Behind Anna, there was also a horizontal platoon, that is, about thirty French mercenaries wearing the same military uniform.

Led by Ye Kai's old acquaintance, the smoker Henry who boasted that there were dozens of lobster soldier ghosts floating under his gun!

"Zinedin, I'm glad to see you again, you see, how did I train you with the people you sent? Do you have the appearance of a soldier? ”

Anna still looks stupid and sweet, but Ye Kai always feels that between her and herself, she is not as unrestrained as before!

"You trained?" Ye Kai's eyes widened in surprise, in Ye Kai's opinion, Anna Chick was simply a representative of no combat power, and the only threat was when he was holding a flintlock handcuff.

But.. Belch.. Ye Kai, who just wanted to make fun of two sentences, was attracted by a gun in Anna's hand.

This is a very old rifled gun, if Ye Kai is not mistaken, it should be the French Minin front-loading rifle, it seems to be the classic Type 1188.

To say that it is ancient, not from the point of view of the twenty-first century, but from the point of view of the present, the end of the seventeenth century, this gun should also be considered ancient.

It appeared at least a hundred and fifty years ago, having been massively equipped by the Danish army in the early seventeenth century.

This is a classic rifled gun, with a maximum range of more than 900 meters, and its accuracy is even much stronger than the brown bass most commonly used by lobster soldiers.

All right! The firing range is farther than that of the brown bass, and the accuracy is higher than that of the brown bass, so why did this seemingly advanced rifled gun not replace the brown bass?

Because this thing is so badly loaded!

Compared with smoothbore guns, rifled guns have quite strict requirements for bullets, and the projectile must be tightly fitted with the barrel, otherwise it will not be effective.

Therefore, the loading of a rifled gun does not put the projectile into the muzzle and let it slide in, but must first put the projectile in the muzzle.

The reason why it is pendulum is because the projectile is almost as large as the barrel, and it will not slide into it on its own!

Once the projectile is placed, you have to press the projectile with all your strength to stuff it into the barrel, then use a small wooden stick and a small hammer to knock the projectile inside, and finally use a strip, some people say that the whole process is like unclogging a sewer!

And.... This force should be used appropriately, if it is small, it will definitely not be able to poke in, and if it is used large, uh, it is likely to break the barrel or cause an explosion!

It's really a magical baby musket, imagine that on a battlefield filled with gunsmoke and blood, everyone else is desperate, and you still stand still, and then struggle to 'unclog the sewers'.

And if you stab and stab, you may blow up the chamber, and before the enemy gets close, you can blow yourself up or blow yourself up first.

Nima!! Ye Kai had a cold war, he would never use this kind of gun!

"Anna! I think this gun in your hand is probably not for you! As a friend, Ye Kai felt that he needed to remind Anna of the 'magic' of this gun, and Anna was still a girl, Ye Kai even doubted that she could press the projectile into the muzzle!

Anna grinned, "Zinedin, you're amazing! You know the Minin rifle and know how to use it!

But your understanding is wrong, this gun is an epoch-making product, and it is not easy to use because many people can't use it well, but this certainly does not include me! ”

Henry the Smoker shrugged his shoulders in agreement, "Miss Anna is one of the best marksmen I've ever seen, and if he's a man, he's perfectly qualified to be an elite light infantry officer in any country's army, or the best of the kind!" ”

This time it was Ye Kai's turn to be surprised, the light infantry of this era was relative to the line infantry lined up in a row.

They use rifled guns with guaranteed range and accuracy, and are designed to snipe enemy officers or break down line infantry advancing in formations, and some countries also call this kind of light infantry with excellent marksmanship chasseurs.

Of course, this tactic is still a relatively high-end game in Europe, and the large-scale appearance of light infantry will have to wait for another twenty years or so, and it will not become popular until the Baker flintlock pistol is equipped on a large scale.

Because the pellet of the Baker flintlock pistol is coated with a layer of skin, the skin is much softer than the lead bullet, which greatly saves the time of reloading.

Ye Xingxing's head moved, and he meowed, isn't this a ready-made, goldfinger dangling in front of his eyes!

When I go to Europe, I quietly get to know the secret of this Baker flintlock pistol, and when I return to Nanyang, Lao Tzu will set up a special team of hunters, not to mention the hard-anal lobster soldiers, and it is not a hand to bully the Nanyang natives?

。。。。

Bangkok City, at the foot of Jinshan Temple, Ye Kai has become a chef Ye again, braised mutton, boiling boiled fish, dumplings with various fillings, grilled steak, of course, this steak is not very good, and now the beef cattle that produce fresh and tender beef have not yet appeared, in addition, there are several classic Cantonese dishes made by the chef of Yejia Restaurant.

Anna, He Yuer, Henry, and Ye Fulai have been by Ye Fulai's side all the year round, Ye Yiwu, who was sent to study in the French military camp in Chonburi this time, Ye Ming, who has been following He Yuer with a cheeky face, and one or two young talents of the Ye family, all ate a fat belly, and the praise of one after another resounded throughout this grassland, among which He Yuer's voice was especially loud.

As for the remaining dozens of clansmen of the Ye family and the French mercenaries who came over, Ye Kai also arranged a good banquet for hospitality.

After today, Ye Kai is going to follow them for harsh training, just now, Rama I issued a mobilization order, tentatively scheduled fifteen days later, the army will gather in Sukhothai, the King of Siam vowed to recapture Chiang Mai and other places that have been occupied by the Burmese for dozens or even hundreds of years!

In the past fifteen days, Ye Kai had to follow Anna to learn how to operate the musket of this era, just now, Ye Kai tried to use the Minin rifle in Anna's hand, and the accuracy was praised by everyone, but the loading speed was simply miserable!

It takes an average of three and a half minutes to get a shot! You must know that the average trained soldier who is proficient in using the brown bass can do three rounds a minute, even if the front-loading rifled gun is troublesome, but how can this be done once a minute and a half!

At Ye Kai's current speed, this is equivalent to Ye Kai's one shot, and others have already fired at least ten shots, and the barrels are all red!

The efficiency is too low, and you have to catch the practice!

However, Ye Kai is not without advantages, he also has a big killing weapon, that is, the bayonet fighting technique!

The bayonet technique that Ye Kai learned in the army in later generations was obtained by the fanatical Bushido Japanese army and the peak volunteer army of light infantry for hundreds of years in blood and fire.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the soldiers of Ye Kai's era can learn Ye Kai's bayonet skills, except for the elite lobster soldiers opposite, or the emperor's guards, they can not consider loading at all!

Directly facing the enemy, and then rushing up to hand-to-hand combat, you can definitely defeat the armies of most countries!
