The soldiers advanced to a distance of thirty paces and stopped. It's still the same step, Shangzi Yao, and raises the fire.

"Fire!"

People's eyes can almost see that after a short flight, the projectile hit the target in front of them intensively, beating the pigs and sheep who were still desperately struggling on the wooden pole to the flesh and blood, and ending their lives. Several wooden poles were hit too much by the projectile, and after the salvo was over, there was a burst of cracking sounds, and then they fell to the ground with a bang.

The musketeers stared intently, they couldn't believe what was happening in front of their eyes, it turned out that a salvo of muskets could achieve such an effect?!

"Lord, the hit rate brothers have been counted, it's halfway there!" Wang Bao was also a little excited, and his voice was a little trembling.

Shouhan was also a little excited about such a result, although he had long known that the smoothbore gun should concentrate firepower and advance distance, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes in practice.

"Guns!" He gestured with his hand.

Yan Long on the side hurriedly handed over his double-barreled short firebolt, which was a weapon specially configured for battalion officers and guards. Unexpectedly, Shouhan waved his hand and refused, "Fire gun!" ”

Someone hurriedly handed a firearm to Shouhan, and asked him to carefully examine the standard equipment in the Nanzhong army.

The barrel is made of ductile iron and formed at one time using cast pipe technology, which ensures the basic consistency of caliber, at least the same caliber of one batch of muskets. The barrel was fastened to the wooden body with a thin copper strip, the body and the short fire gun were also made of camphor wood, the butt was not made of the custom of the mainland but according to the style of the Shouhan, and the spring made of brass shone lovely between the trigger and the dragon's head. Aside from the dragon's head and flint features, this gun is essentially the same as a modern rifle. The only difference was the lack of a bayonet.

The gun, not long ago, was also maintained, from the barrel of the smooth Cheng dù, and the muzzle slightly greasy greasy feel can be seen, Shouhan nodded very satisfied, picked up the gun cap sewn with thick cloth to prevent dust from entering the barrel, looked at the sun, a faint round hole on the gun cap, which proves from another angle, the maintenance of the gun.

Seeing this, Wang Bao hurriedly came over, "Lord, it's not early today, the brothers who came with you have been tired all the way, why don't you go back to the city to rest and eat first, what do you think?" ”

"It's good!" Shouhan returned the firearm to its original owner, and said something casually that shocked the people present.

"Keep practicing tomorrow! Test out a 20-step firearm shot! Then shoot at the gun! ”

Many officers who are known for their ruthlessness and tenacity on the battlefield are still emotional when they mention this incident, and some people even have faces like earth and two wars.

The seventh day of the eighth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse is a day when the autumn is high and cool, and the sky is extremely transparent.

The soldiers of the two battalions formed a battalion phalanx hundreds of paces apart.

Unlike in the past, the road from the north was dominated by musketeers, with only a small number of sword and shield soldiers and pikemen guarding the left and right, and hundreds of musketeers standing with their guns on their shoulders. To the south, they were greeted by tribal soldiers who had just been contained, with bows and arrows in their hands, and a small number of swords, shields, and pikemen guarding the flanks. Behind the phalanx of the Southern Route Army, as yesterday, hundreds of pigs newly purchased from Zuo were tied to wooden poles and covered with iron armor, leather armor, and bamboo armor.

"My lord, the queue is over, can we start?" A battalion officer whispered to Wang Bao.

Wang Bao turned his gaze to Li Shouhan, who was holding a telescope high at this time to look at the Southern Route Army in the distance. Without looking back, he asked, "Have you ever checked the arrows in your hands?" Have all the arrow clusters been removed? ”

The battalion officer hurriedly replied in a loud voice: "Back to my lord, when the quartermaster sent it last night, the officers at all levels checked it together, and there were no arrows!" ”

Hearing this, Shouhan was satisfied and aimed the camera at the Northern Route Army.

The soldiers of the Northern Route Army were also dressed a little differently from the past, and the red fat jacket was covered with a white costume, which was obviously made of raw white cloth temporarily, but was hastily connected with thick needles and threads, and then the soldiers barely put it on their bodies.

"That's it! Order, forward! ”

With the sound of brass trumpets, the musketeers from the north began to march forward, escorted by cold-armed soldiers on both wings.

The officers on the hillside stared unblinkingly in the direction in which the Northern Route Army was advancing.

On the way forward, someone drew several white lines on the ground with white ash. The celestial numbers learned in the school are marked with the words hundred, eighty, sixty, forty, etc.

The most recent white line is written with the words "Twenty Steps"!

When the vanguard of the Northern Route Army stepped on the white line marked with the words "Hundred Steps", a drum beat sounded in the formation of the Southern Route Army, and with the dense sound of war drums, the leading officer in the phalanx shouted: "Archer! Prepare for arrows! ”

All the archers took out the feathered arrows from the quiver, took a step forward and dipped them in a small bamboo tube in front of their feet, and the shaft of the arrow was quickly dyed red, and the paint dripped down the shaft to the ground.

One by one, the arrows were recognised and filled, and the archers pulled the bow, which was almost a stone's strong, at an angle of forty-five degrees.

"Put!"

With a burst of bangs, hundreds of feather arrows flew into the air, rapidly descending when the trajectory reached its peak, and flew towards the formation of the Northern Route Army that was marching between eighty and ninety steps!

Only a crackling sound could be heard in the ear chakra, and the feather arrows fell to the ground and on the people's bodies. Some of them landed on people's helmets, and were quickly bounced off by the steel helmets and flew to the side.

The people of the Law Enforcement Department, who were advancing with the troops, temporarily played the role of referees today, and at the sound of an order, the Northern Route Army stopped advancing on the spot.

"All those who have been shot by arrows come out!"

Following the command of the law enforcement team, more than two dozen people walked out dejectedly. Their white robes were covered with red paint on their shoulders, chests, and legs.

According to the rules of the exercise, they were judged to be hit by arrows and had to withdraw from the battlefield.

More than a dozen law enforcement teams went back and forth through the crowd to find a few guys with arrows in their helmets trying to fool them around.

"For the record, the first round of bow and arrow shooting, loss of combat effectiveness, withdrawal from the battlefield, forty-one."

The troops continued to advance to the beat of drums.

"Archers! Prepare for arrows! ”

The archers of the Southern Route Army continued their previous movements, and another round of arrow rain slanted down above the heads of the Northern Route Army.

After that, it was still the law enforcement team that came to test the casualties after the "hit arrow" and the number of people who withdrew from the battle. Because the range has been a lot recently, about seventy paces, the number of people who were hit by the arrows is much more than just now, and more than eighty people walked out of the queue with their heads down, standing aside and watching their comrades continue to advance against the rain of arrows.

The third round of arrow rain is coming!

Unlike Fang Cai, although the range of the arrows in this round was the closest, less than sixty paces, because of the two rounds of shooting, the body of the archers was not as good as before, and the feathered arrows shot out were also a little weak.

The third round of bow and arrow baptism caused nearly 100 "casualties" to the soldiers of the Northern Route Army, and after the third round of baptism, the soldiers were already somewhat accustomed to the feather arrows flying over their heads from time to time, compared to the slight panic and commotion when the first and second rounds faced the baptism of arrow rain, people were already very calm.

The damage caused by arrows to people is mainly in the skull, face, limbs, chest and abdomen, etc., because of the protection of the breastplate, basically there will be no harm. Three rounds of arrows were fired, inflicting about 200 casualties on the Northern Route Army, and twenty percent of the soldiers in the establishment withdrew from the battle.

With the sound of horns, the Southern Route Army quickly retreated to both sides, exposing the pig targets behind them to the muzzles of the musketeers.

Under the blow of three rounds of arrows, there were only more than 800 people left in the phalanx of 1,000 people, except for more than 100 sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, the remaining 600 people were all musketeers. The battalion commander who led the team gritted his teeth and gathered all the musketeers into three columns, ready to vent all his anger on those targets that replaced the enemy twenty paces away.

"First Column Kneeling Aim!"

"Second list of guns!"

"The third column is on standby!"

"The first and second columns are all there!"

"Put!"

More than 400 muskets fired projectiles at the target opposite, and the sound of gunfire was more shocking than ever, wafting overhead, and the thick white smoke obscured everyone's view. When the gaze gradually faded, people observed the hellish scene of Shura not far away in horror.

"Wow!" When some of the tribal soldiers watching the battle from the flanks saw this scene, they couldn't help but roll in their chests and abdomen, bent down and began to vomit heavily, and then, as if contagious, the vomiting began to spread rapidly in the ranks of the tribal soldiers.

On the opposite side of the North Route Army, more than 100 pigs as targets were tied to the wooden pole one by one according to the density of people lining up on weekdays, at this time, except for a very few lucky pigs were injured by stray bullets, and there were bursts of mournful screams on the wooden pole, the rest of the more than 100 pigs have been swept away by the dense rain of bullets, and the various armor covered by the pigs at this distance basically has no resistance to the lethality of the projectile, on the contrary, under the huge kinetic energy of the projectile, The pierced fragments of the armor leaf instead became accomplices to the abuse, flying into the bodies of the compatriots next to them.

Throughout the field, there were traces of broken flesh and blood.

Green smoke was still rising from several wooden poles that had been hit by projectiles, silently telling people what a brutal killing had just taken place here.

"The Great General is mighty!"

"My South Central Army is mighty!"

"The Great General is mighty!"

"My South Central Army is mighty!"

I don't know who it was, but I was the first to cheer loudly in the queue, and in an instant, thunderous cheers resounded in the sky.

The tribal soldiers, who were still vomiting profusely, fell to their knees and shouted to the frequency of cheers. They were now completely subjugated by the force of the army in front of them, just imagine, that army could withstand the enemy's three rounds of arrows to advance the team to a distance of twenty paces from the enemy ready to hand combat, and fire?

However, the order that followed shocked all the people present.

"Musketeers! Check the bullets! Take out the projectile! ”

"All musketeers, in two columns!"

The musketeers stood in the queue at a loss, carefully examined their ammunition according to the commanders' orders, and after making sure that there was only gunpowder and no projectiles in it, they were assembled in two columns and brought away face to face.

The distance between the two columns, the same as Fang Cai, is twenty steps! Some of the musketeers' hearts sank sharply, and a not-so-good premonition came over them.

"All of them! Raise your gun! The commander at the end of the queue shouted.

"Fire!"

People subconsciously raised the fire gun in their hands, leveled it, took aim, and pulled the trigger, and the brass spring played a good role, and the power of the trigger was transmitted to the dragon's head, and the spark caused by hitting the flint ignited the gunpowder. The gunpowder roared in the chamber.

With this roar, people on both sides clearly saw a puff of white smoke mixed with sparks erupting from the small muzzle of the gun. (Specifically, you can refer to the flash thunder released during the New Year, which brings people the kind of shock, but if you imitate and experiment, I am not responsible for the consequences caused!) ）

Such a move made the tribal soldiers present completely kneel! I have never seen such a move, and the line is firing at such a short distance!

The people in the queue were dumbfounded with their guns, and it took a while to recover their strength, oh my God! I actually saw the fire bolt on the other side just now!

Many people don't know how they got back to the barracks, but, after returning to the barracks, many people did the same thing, took off their pants that smelled of urine, and went to the shower with a wooden basin.

The result of such a shooting was reported to Shouhan, which also made Shouhan very satisfied, but to Yanlong, a young man from the Dai family who came to report the good news, he said a sentence that people's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, which almost made Yanlong, a simple young man, forget that he was the lord.

"Not bad! This kind of shooting effect is very good! Yanlong, didn't let you go to Fulang Mountain to train with Huang Yishan, are you unwilling? Don't worry, all the foot camps in the future will have to practice facing the impact of the horse team! ”

Soon after, the military discipline of the Southern Central Army's firearm shooting was adjusted, "Sixty paces away from the enemy is allowed to fire, but it is not advisable to open fire!" When you are 40 steps away from the enemy, the shooting effect is better, and when you are 20 steps away from the enemy, the shooting hit rate is more than 80%! ”

Soon, such shooting training was carried out in various units of the South China Army, after which a witty remark spread among the army.

"I peed a lot before I opened the gun, I talked a lot after the gun was opened, and I changed my pants a lot after returning to the barracks!"

This kind of training has equipped the Nanzhong Army with the ability to become the strongest army in the world, and in the future, no matter how strong the enemy they face, they will be able to be calm.

"Bao, do you know what I did when I went south this time?"

In Hue City, the old palace of the Nguyen family has now changed owners, in front of the Qiancheng Hall where the Nguyen family lives, a round of crescent moon hangs above the treetops, and when the wind blows, the rustling of bamboo leaves and leaves makes people forget the hustle and bustle and toiling in the daytime.

Li Shouhan and Wang Bao sat under the tree very casually, the slight difference was that Shouhan leaned on a bamboo recliner with his back on it, half tilted his face, looking at the moon in mid-air, while Wang Bao was sitting on a bamboo chair with a teacup and was about to taste the just-brewed kung fu tea.

"The subordinates are a little dull, and they still have some experience in leading the troops to charge, but there is no way to know this."

Wang Bao is also honest and tells the truth.

Shouhan smiled with some satisfaction, "You might as well guess!" ”

Wang Bao took a sip of tea, put the teacup made of lily porcelain on the tea table, lowered his head and thought for a while, "Then the subordinates dare to guess." ”

"But for the sake of the small Ha Tinh Mansion and the relocation of the General's Mansion, come to Hue to investigate one or two?"

There have long been legends in the market that with the continuous expansion of the southern territory, the geographical location of Ha Tinh has become more and more embarrassing: the territory of Shouhan is mainly in the south and the west, while the administrative center and military key places are in the northeast corner of the territory. At the same time, it also takes advantage of the relatively central geographical location here to better complete the mission of opening up the south and unifying the south and the central part of the country.

And Shouhan's order, "Be sure to take care of the original palaces, temples, official pavilions, ancestral halls and other buildings in Hue." This statement is the best corroboration.

After listening to Wang Bao's speculation, Shouhan laughed out loud: "Haha! Bao! You, a kind person, have also started to listen to the grapevine?! ”

"Not bad! All gentlemen, including you, have said similar things to me, and they all saw that the position of Ha Tinh was too skewed, and Jian yì moved the general's palace to Hue, so that he could command the north and south. Coordinate the armies of Qiongzhou and Luzon. To be honest, I haven't thought about it this way, and this time, I also brought the gentleman in charge of the construction of the workshop to investigate the existing houses in Hue. I'm here to tell you the truth, and you must remember to keep it a secret! ”

Relocation is a must to move. However, until one thing is done, Shouhan will never move.

"Our territory was fought back by our brothers with blood, sweat and hard work. However, have you thought about it, what else does victory depend on except for the heroic struggle of the sons? Relying on the weapons made by many workshops, the refined salt, armor, and cloth made of these materials, we were able to achieve victory step by step. These workshops are now concentrated in the Ha Tinh area. Iron ore mines and ash dumps are also concentrated in this area. ”

"What do you think I'm going to do?"

"The source of coal that supports the operation of our workshops, Quang Ninh, is under the rule of the Zheng family, not far from Ha Jing, what do you think we should do?"

Speaking of this, Shouhan stopped talking, staring at Wang Bao's face with blazing eyes. Due to cholera, Wang Bao's face was a little thin, and his lines became more and more rigid.

"Lord, since it is said that the coal is on the territory of the Zheng family, then simply destroy the Zheng family and grab the coal field! In this way, Ha Jing's workshop can rest easy, and the great cause of the lord can also travel thousands of miles, and no longer worry about such things! As long as the lord is interested, his subordinates are willing to be the striker! ”

On the tenth day of August, Wang Bao, the former commander of the Phoenix Battalion, and Li Shouhan went north together.

On 15 August, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Wang Bao was appointed deputy chief instructor of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, in charge of the training of the whole army.
