"Liang Kuan, are you afraid?"

Chen Tianhua asked Liang Kuan, the officer of the Guards Battalion standing beside him. A warm south wind blew, and through the light of the sun, people felt warm on their bodies and faces.

"My lord, to be honest, every time I go into battle to kill an enemy, I am a little scared at first. However, once you start to do it, you won't be afraid! ”

Liang Kuan's words made Chen Tianhua a little strange, where did he start?

"When I was in line, I remembered that I was going to start fighting in a while, what should I do with my wife and children at home? Don't tell you, my daughter-in-law, Fusang, is really good at giving birth, and when she came out, she was pregnant with another one. I already have three children at home. When I went out, I discussed that I planned to take her little sister from Fusang to make me a child, so that the fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, so that I would not take a concubine and make her angry in the future. Just wait for me to go back this time and get married! ”

"I lost! X, you little thief! Scared for this? You're still an officer! Chen Tianhua teased Liang Kuan.

"But as soon as the horn sounds, we will not be afraid immediately, and we will think about how to kill this guy on the other side, so that we can go back to marry my sister-in-law as a little wife!"

Bursts of laughter immediately rang out in the team, and Fang Cai's nervousness and fear were diluted a lot by the conversation between the two.

Chen Tianhua took the opportunity to jump on horseback and shouted at the crowd of black oppression: "Brothers, this group of vicious dogs in front of us blocked our way home, rushed away from them, and we arrived at the door of the house!" There's our sailor's brother over there, and as long as we get to the beach, we'll be home! Back home. Not only do you have hot food to eat, but you also have new clothes to wear, and everyone will also live the kind of life that Team Officer Liang just said! ”

"Sue me! Do you want to live like this? ”

A shout erupted from the ranks of the outcasts in disheveled clothes, "Think! ”

"Be louder! Don't act like a! ”

"Yes!"

The roar was more than an octave higher, and much more neat.

"I can't hear clearly! Sue me, do you want to have three full meals a day, with fish and meat, oil and wine? There is a woman at home who warms your quilt to give birth to a child, and continue the incense?! ”

"Yes!"

This time the sound was so loud that it buzzed in my ears.

"Good! It's all standing and peeing, trying to live a good life. You'll have to listen to the greetings in a moment. Forge ahead! ”

In a short period of time, Chen Tianhua has changed from a battalion office with a bit of bookishness to a military officer who is full of swear words and knows how to boost morale.

This roar spread to the formation of the five regiments not far away, and it also startled the war horses under the crotches of several leaders to neigh and roar in bursts.

"Brother Deng. The Art of War says. It's hard to stop returning! Let's do it. I'm afraid I'm going to lose a lot! Shall we avoid their edge first, and then attack from both sides to seize their baggage? "A leader of the Wen family. He was also dressed in a cuirass and held a mourning gun in his hand.

"Go! The ancestor of your Wen family, Prime Minister Wen is much stronger than you! I'm not afraid of facing the Yuan Tartars, how can you see a group of mud-legged people who are scared!? ”

Xintian Wen, originally from Yongxin, Jiangxi, moved here from the late Southern Song Dynasty. The ancestor of the mountain is Wen Tianxiang's cousin Wen Tianrui, who left "no one has died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of the sweat". For hundreds of years, branches and leaves have been scattered, and talents have come out in large numbers, from the south of the Shenzhen River, all over Pingshan, Xintian and other places. It is also one of the five major surnames, and it has been married to four families including the Deng family for generations.

Although Deng Qishao's words were very strong, he looked at the crowd on the opposite side from a distance, and he was also a little frightened, "Don't you listen to the words of the coward of the Wen family, don't resist it, but avoid its edge and hit it lazy?!" ”

However, it is too late to readjust the queue at this moment.

The regimental training of the five major families is not like the Nanzhong Army, from the beginning of the new recruits entering the camp, they first receive queue training, they first train the art of fighting and fighting, and then cooperate with each other. It was the team that attacked the Nanzhong Army just now that it also took advantage of it, and it happened to choose the moment when the number of people in the Nanzhong Army was the smallest and the most displaced people launched an attack on the marching team, which was successful, and then the formation was reopened, and it took a long time to sort it out, giving the Nanzhong Army a little time to breathe, rest, sort out, and mobilize.

At the moment, the Nanzhong Army has taken a little rest, and this group of backbones above the first commander selected from each battalion has been stopped by a group of regimental drills? When did you get such a?

In the sound of the horn, with 300 firecrackers as the lead, escorted by 300 pikemen on both sides, followed by more than 100 carts wrapped by homeless people like a silent tide, and at the side and rear of the team, a team composed of 400 sword and shield soldiers led by Chen Tianhua himself suppressed the formation.

The team of nearly 10,000 people, full of anger and hatred, rushed towards the group practice of the five major families!

After a short break, the musketeers had a gap to cool the barrels of their muskets, and people hurriedly brought water from the kettle and poured it on the cotton cloth to wipe the barrel, the damp cotton cloth hissing slightly from the heat on the barrel.

There were no archers in the formation of the five major families on the opposite side, let alone artillery, probably because they felt that the artillery was too wolf to be used in this field battle, so they left a large number of generals and franc machines in the stockade. As the regimental trainers came out to rob, there were only a small number of firearms, which were used as personal soldiers around several leaders.

Seeing that the opposite team was like a mountain and a sea, although it was not so roaring and irritable, but the pressure on people was huge, several leaders invariably brought their horses to the formation, and shouted incessantly: "Fire gun!" Brothers, come forward! Kai Gong~"

In a hurry, dozens of musketeers rushed to the front of the formation and fired their firebolts at the ranks of the Nanzhong Army dozens of paces away, and as the trigger fell, their arquebuses were also very dedicated and fired projectiles at the opposite side.

To put it bluntly, the quality of the firearms in the hands of these regiments is much better than that in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and at the very least, every firearm can be fired. And not like the bird gun in the hands of the Ming army, although the range is long. But the power is small, and there is no lethality at a distance of dozens of steps. Moreover, there were many mistakes and accidents in the operation of the firearms of the Ming army, many firearms could not be fired during the battle, and because of the quality problems, they were easy to explode, and because of the high cost of gunpowder, many Ming army troops were reluctant to use it for training on weekdays. In this way, the soldiers were not psychologically good in the course of actual combat, and they could not hold their breath, and they could not help but open fire before the enemy entered the effective firing range. Before the enemy could reach its best range, the guns were already empty. Moreover, the gun tube cannot continue to fire for a short time because it is overheated. This contributed to the reluctance of the Ming army to use firearms. But. Because this group of people is a group training, the fire guns in their hands are made by themselves at no cost, and they can be exported and sold to the Franc machine people in terms of quality and craftsmanship. In addition, more than a dozen arquebuses were simply sold from Nanzhong.

It's a pity that this group of regiments made the same mistakes as the Ming army. Without waiting for the attacking enemy to come into effective range, they opened fire. Not to mention waiting for the enemy to enter the best range before concentrating firepower. Projectiles that flew out. Weakly navigating through the ranks of the Southern Central Army, only occasionally hitting a few bodies and letting out a few muffled snorts.

Looking at the smoke and flames coming out of the five team training teams. With a burst of scattered firearms, Chen Tianhua couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile, it seems that this group of guys still don't know how to use the firearms in their hands correctly! When Master Qi Jiguang went to Guangdong to be the chief soldier, he didn't teach these guys how to use firearms!

Then, it will be up to Lao Tzu to teach you how to use firearms to defeat the enemy! It's just that the tuition fee is a little more expensive, and Lao Tzu doesn't accept dry meat, only human life!

"Call! The firecrackers of the front team, press up! ”

Hearing the horn of attack blown by the trumpet, the firecrackers lined up in three columns and began to march slowly southward, they did not worry about their life and death at all, the round of firearms shooting on the opposite side had already made them see the enemy's hole cards, but that's it! Even if you dare to fire and shoot when the South Central Army enters the firing range, you may not be able to complete a series of actions to open fire before the South Central Army! Moreover, is their gunpowder as good as ours? Is there a long way to go?

As the firecrackers slowly advanced, the entire team began to move forward slowly. The pikemen on both wings, who were guarding the firecrackers in the vanguard, pulled a slope diagonally, waiting for the firecrackers to use gunpowder and projectiles to open a gap in the formation of the opposite group of thieves, and then quickly rushed forward and harvested the lives with their spears!

Seeing that the team on the opposite side was moving towards his side with great determination, although it was slow, the seventh young master of the Deng family also began to feel a little uneasy. "Shoot! Why not open the gun! ”

"Seventh Master! The fire gun has to be reloaded after the shot, and it is very slow! The leader of his own soldiers explained to him the plight of the Musketeers.

"But the pirates' firecrackers are coming!"

The fifth young master of the Hou family was also the person who led his own group training, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw that the team in unison and neat steps was like a moving mountain, heading in his direction.

"Rattan players! Rattan hand step forward! ”

The seventh young master of the Deng family suddenly shouted loudly.

"Let our rattan players come to the front, and when they have the first round of firearms and are loaded with gunpowder buckshot, the rattan players will come forward and hack them to death with a big knife!"

Because of the geographical environment, the army in Guangdong is equipped with a large number of rattan cards, using the old rattan in the mountains, after processing to make rattan cards, handed over to the sword and shield soldiers to use. And in the five group exercises, nearly one-third of the people use such rattan cards. Their rattan cards, compared with those of the official army, are more sophisticated. The rattan is made by soaking it in oil many times, and it goes without saying that it is tough. The Seventh Young Master of the Deng Family once experimented that such a rattan brand, at a distance of fifty paces, could effectively resist the shot of the arrow projectile.

As for saying that if the enemy army rushes fifty paces, what does it matter? My rattan hand can come up and mix with you. When I hold you back, people from all over the villages and towns behind me rush out to cheer for me, why worry that your baggage and belongings are not in my pocket?!

"Quick! Fast! ”

Amid the shouting and scolding of the leaders and leaders of each family, the rattan players were gathered and lined up at the front of the line.

As soon as the line was arranged, the team of the Nanzhong Army in front of him had already entered a distance of about seventy steps.

Holding a rattan card in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, the rattan players tried to shrink their necks and hide their heads, bend down, and hide their bodies behind the rattan cards. It is said that this rattan can withstand a shotgun bullet fifty paces away, but. It's better to have your own little life. Who knows if there will be bullets flying to places that can't be covered by the rattan card, and your exposed body will be miserable!

Based on the same idea, the leaders of the five major families also gathered more than a dozen rattan players in front of them, holding rattan cards high to block the projectiles that might fly.

"Brother Qi, what you said, this rattan brand can really block shotgun bullets?" The young master of the Wen family hid behind the rattan plaque, his voice trembling slightly.

"No problem! The rattan brands of each family are made of old rattan that are more than a few years old, and they are soaked in vegetable oil first. Soak for a few months and then take it out to a cool place to dry. After that, it was sent to soak, and so on several times, similar to the vine armor soldiers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, blocking shotgun bullets. No problem! ”

Between words. The firecrackers of the Southern Central Army were already less than seventy steps away from the vine players at the front of the queue!

Three hundred musketeers. They are arranged in three columns, each with a row of 100 people spaced five steps apart.

Looking at the firecrackers who were getting closer and closer in front of them, the hands of the rattan players who were holding the rattan cards and long knives became sweaty. I could barely hold the weapon in my hand.

"Bodhisattva bless! Ancestors bless! ”

The rattan players prayed in their hearts.

Sixty paces, the firecrackers still walked forward slowly, as if they were going to their own fish pond to catch a fish and cook dinner at home.

Fifty steps, this is the best distance that rattan players know, can block the fire gun projectile, once this distance is broken, the rattan card in the hand is not completely sure to be able to block the bullets fired by those fire guns!

However, at this distance, the gunners were still slowly moving forward to the whistle of the team officer!

Among the rattan players in the team training team, some of them have already begun to tremble in their legs, and the urine in their crotches is as strong as a burst!

Forty steps, according to the well-known method of identifying distance in the Nanzhong Army, the facial features of people, the joints of the hands, and the weapons in their hands can be clearly distinguished from each part, and even the spears in the hands of the pikemen can be distinguished with the naked eye!

It's already within the power range of the armor that the firebolt can pierce!

In the team training team, not only the ordinary group members began to feel uneasy, but the leaders of the direct descendants of the five major families also began to be a little panicked!

"What are you going to do with these brutes?!"

The seventh young man of the Deng family couldn't help but secretly speculate that according to the real yàn he made with the few Nanzhong military arquebuses that the Deng family regiment was equipped with, at a distance of fifty paces, the rattan card could block the projectile of this firearm, but at fifty paces, it could break through the iron armor common to the officers and soldiers or the cotton armor made of silk and cotton. At 40 and 30 paces, you can easily break the cuirass, the rattan plate made of old rattan, and the southern Chinese army.

Thinking of this, and then looking at the fire guns coming from the mountain in front of him, the seven young men of the Deng family couldn't help but look around, and he subconsciously looked for a way to escape.

Seeing that the Nanzhong Army was as silent as the sea, but with great pressure, the rattan players who stood at the forefront tried to bite their lips with their teeth, allowing the severe pain to relieve their stress and fear. Someone has even been bleeding down the corners of their mouths. The hearts of everyone in the five-family group training were hanging in their throats, and they didn't know when they would fire!

Finally, there was a long and mournful whistle from the opposite team!

"Fire!"

The first column of musketeers stopped in unison, raised the muskets in their hands, and pulled the trigger!

Smoke rose in the queue and quickly condensed into a ball, and the flames from the mouth of the gun were mixed with deadly projectiles and rushed towards the vine player on the opposite side!

At a distance of less than forty paces, the firearms of the Nanzhong Army can easily break through the protection of the rattan brand, and the piggyback can break through the armor one layer more!

The rattan players dropped the rattan cards in their hands, rolling on the ground and shouting, the projectiles pierced the rattan cards and rushed into their bodies, and the huge impact stirred their limbs and internal organs into a mess! These people have no armor protection, the only reliance is the rattan card in their hands, once the rattan card is penetrated, then, all the impact force has to be borne by their flesh and blood.

But whose body is cast from steel and iron?

The rattan player who was hit by the projectile vomited black blood clots from the corner of his mouth, and fell to his knees one by one. The projectiles shattered all the bones and entrails in their bodies!

There was the rattan player who had been hit in the limbs, looking at the severed hand in front of him, and the leg that couldn't stop bleeding outward, and fell to the ground and wailed and rolled.

The first round of shooting swept the vine players of the five major families to dozens of people!

Then, the musketeers who had just stopped shooting began to reload their ammunition in place, and a second column of musketeers passed by them, walked five steps forward, and raised their muskets again!

At a distance of thirty paces, the power of the firebolt is even more played!

At this distance, the guns of the Nanzhong Army have been tested many times in actual combat, and they can break any form of armor of the enemy, as well as all kinds of shields in their hands! In the face of the firearms fired from this distance, any armor cover is useless. What's more, in these regimental exercises in front of them, only a few of their leaders and leaders are wearing armor, and most of them are only wearing pants made of cotton, which is almost no different from being naked in the scorching rain of bullets! The people who were hit by the projectile were driven by the huge impact of the projectile to roll and fall out, and everywhere the projectile reached, there were all terrifying huge blood holes.

Two rounds of shooting, no more than two minutes before and after.

More than half of the rattan players at the front have been killed or wounded, and the rattan cards, which were regarded as life-saving tools at the beginning, were discarded on the ground at will, and on each rattan card, there were one or two huge holes, and at the edge of the holes, the rattan sticks ignited by the heat of the projectile emitted bursts of green smoke. The blood that flowed from their bodies was quickly absorbed by the red earth, and a strong smell of blood filled the air. (To be continued......)
