Before the start of the exercise, including Di Qing and Han Qi, they all had various mentalities, and had overestimated the navy as much as possible, which was the situation shown before the navy, but when they were shooting the target, they shocked the people from the Northern Song Dynasty again, and the whole process of the exercise made them full of surprise.

100 elite marksmen, the guns in their hands, of course, are different from the hands of ordinary soldiers, these guns, all of them are special, not popular, the number of sharpshooters selected by the Navy from the millions of troops, their number does not exceed 1000 people, it is not an exaggeration to pick one out of a thousand, and among such a thousand people, the 100 people selected, there are more than 100 guns, except for a part of the spare, the rest can be used to take out.

This kind of gun, which already has obvious modern characteristics, even has rifling, a small-caliber sight, and a magazine, even if it is only a magazine of 10 rounds, has also made a terrible change in the capabilities of the entire firearm.

Basically, target shooting is carried out in several aspects, the first is to carry out 10 rapid fire, in the shortest time, to complete the firing of 10 rounds, to ensure sufficient accuracy at the same time, control the speed.

This is the main manifestation of this rate of fire, with the current rate of fire of new firearms, in the hands of elite marksmen, 10 rounds, may take a few seconds, can be completely fired.

The first one was this, and with the sound of the starting pistol, a series of sounds like fried beans sounded, and the firing was quickly completed.

In order to clearly show the number of times, this exercise, it was required to be as different as possible by a bullet hole, and, after the completion of the excitation, someone quickly sent the three best performing targets over for Zhao Xin to visit.

Zhao Xin bowed slightly, encouraged the top three, and then handed the target to Han Qi, Han Qi took one first, and it was very heavy, obviously, this is solid wood, and it is made of solid wood with relatively high hardness, and in the center of it, ten bullet holes that are depicted like paintings, made him shocked, because this circle, that is, the baby's fist is so big, so far away, so accurate, that is not where to hit.

Also qualified to take over the target, there are Di Qing and another general, they are military generals, a little stronger, for wood and the like, they are also more familiar, this is not ordinary, the arrow made of ordinary cork is chopped, but made of hardwood, even if it is a master of archery, if the strength is insufficient, don't want to let the arrow shoot.

Di Qing asked in a low voice, the personnel on the side of the Dinghai Navy, can this target paper be torn off, after getting a positive answer, Di Qing tore open the target paper, saw the situation inside, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Because, behind the target paper, on the target almost 4 inches thick, 10 rounds of metal warheads were deeply trapped in it, almost half of the position penetrated, Di Qing tried to use his hands to move, and the strength was so strong that he couldn't even shake it.

I have personally felt the strength of the wood, 2 inches, which is basically the thickness of the military shield, although there is an iron sheet, but the iron sheet is mainly flame retardant, or a lightweight attack on some, that is to say, at a distance of more than 700 meters, this weapon, can be shot through the big shield at a distance, so in this sense, most of the weapons of the Northern Song Dynasty have no way to block the direct attack of such weapons, including the foot armor.

The thickest breastplate of the Buren Armor may be able to resist, but the Buren Armor is not a full-length armor, there are seams, there are weak places, and even, there are exposed faces, these things, what will be the concept when they encounter a long-range attack of this weapon.

Similarly, the rate of fire of this weapon is too fast, the reason why the longbow can be popularized on a large scale in the Northern Song Dynasty forbidden army, and has been widely used, is more about the rate of fire of the longbow, the rate of fire of 4 breaths and one shot, will give the longbow an advantage in the long range, but just now, there is almost six or seven breaths of time, and 10 rounds will be completed, which is at least four or five times faster than the longbow.

The most important thing is that in the whole process of launching, the opponent does not pull, and the body does not have a big movement, this aspect cannot be said absolutely, but in a certain sense, there is no big action, which means that the power consumption is not large, if this problem is solved, even if it is about the same combat power as the longbow, it can be attacked endlessly, or the intensity of this attack is increased by three or five times, this power is too great.

In fact, Han Qi also made a similar judgment, especially after seeing Di Qing tear up the target paper, he almost realized the terrifying nature of this weapon, even if there were only 100 of them, with the accuracy of these people, it was equivalent to 100 more terrifying shooters like Sun Ji in the range of 700 meters.

The reason why Sun Ji was able to stand out from the soldiers was that in the battle in the northwest, he killed a total of one or two hundred enemies, and by extension, it doesn't mean that a war, as long as it enters the stage of stalemate, as long as it does not cause them casualties, these people can attack unscrupulously, one or two thousand a day!

Zhao Xin saw the faces of Han Qi and the others, smiled slightly, and didn't say much, if you talk about shock, this is just the beginning, and next, the good show is still to come.

Let the subordinates send the target back, and then, start the next one, this is a very long exercise, this exercise is a test of continuous combat ability, this is exactly what Zhao Xin wants to express.

The main difference between a hot weapon and a longbow in a cold weapon, even if the longbow already has some of the characteristics of a hot weapon, but it is a weapon of physical energy, and the energy is transmitted to the basic attribute of elasticity, to pull the bow, it is necessary to exert force, once the strength drops, there is no way to leave the bow, the archer will be abolished, and it will not be able to produce a little combat effectiveness.

Generally, ordinary longbowmen, their total number of shots is between 180 and 200, and the elite can reach 250 to 300, but once they reach the limit, this archer is useless.

Where to find the speed of 60 breaths and 15 arrows, in terms of the time calculation of later generations, generally speaking, 15 to 20 minutes of high-intensity combat can make an archer lose combat effectiveness, which is also the limit of archers.

However, in the era of thermal weapons, in addition to holding this weapon, it requires a certain amount of force consumption, lying there, under the premise of support, pulling the trigger, in principle, an unlimited number of times.

Using this as a basis, the difference in thermal weapons is shown, and the second item is long-term endurance shooting.

This time, instead of selecting 100 people, the best of the previous 10 were selected individually, and each of them would shoot 1,000 rounds.

Ready, at least 100 magazines, placed in front of them, in the way of shooting, did not choose the most power-consuming standing and squatting positions, but the most economical lying position, a shooter, an assistant, the assistant is responsible for adding bullets to the other gun, to ensure that the shooter can focus all his energy on shooting.

The shooters carefully selected from the millions of troops, each of them has undergone extremely rigorous training, and rapid fire itself is what they are good at, and it is not necessary to shoot all 10 bullets in a few seconds as before, but one shot in a second or two is absolutely no problem.

That is, fifteen minutes, probably in the calculation method of the Northern Song Dynasty, not even a stick of incense, completed 1,000 shots, when everyone stood up, Zhao Xin first applauded, and then the entire exercise team applauded.

In the roaring applause, it was Han Qi and Di Qing's faces that were iron-blue, before, in the first round of rapid fire, they had already suspected that this weapon was an upgraded version of the longbow, which had a longer range than the longbow, faster than the longbow's rate of fire, and similarly, lasted longer than the longbow.

However, no matter how overestimated, it is impossible to overestimate to such an extent, because the items of the exercise are reported, and this time the project is a burst of 1,000 rounds, and when this number comes out, they do not believe it.

During the whole process, Han Qi and Di Qing did not relax, the telescope looked at the shooter, looked at the target, although there was no definite count, but there were hundreds of times, which was far more than the ordinary longbow, at least more than 5 times, what does this mean.

Seven or eight hundred meters away, with the naked eye, the target that could hardly be seen clearly was clearly hit in the telescope, and when the confetti flew one by one, everyone's eyes were covered with a sea of corpses and blood.

This has exceeded the range of most of the weapons in the Northern Song Dynasty, similar to Sun Ji and the Falling Moon Bow, which are divine weapons, there is no popular type, among the 800,000 forbidden troops in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, there is only one person like Sun Ji, at most, it can reach 10, such a number of people, on the battlefield, what is the effect, if you can assassinate the leader, this is acceptable, if not?

There are 100 in the Dinghai Navy, is it really 100, will it be more, or in other words, it can be a little worse, then the strength shown by this new weapon is much greater.

Han Qi asked Di Qing in a whisper, "How is their physical strength!" ”

"It shouldn't cost much!" Di Qing looked at the shooter who had finished shooting but was still standing upright, and said bitterly.

In terms of military affairs, he has enough self-confidence, and the longbow team he leads, even against the enemy army that has been Liao, several times, or even five or six times, does not have the slightest fear, but in the face of the 100 people on this field, he suddenly has a sense of powerlessness, 700 meters away, unless he can carry a fast cavalry, otherwise, if the longbow is against them, it is a hanging.

But will the other party give them a chance, even the Northern Song Dynasty can think of using cavalry and heavy infantry to protect the longbow, wouldn't the Ding Navy think of it, although it is said that in this exercise, the Ding Navy did not carry heavy infantry troops and cavalry units, but did they really not?

Di Qing thought a little too much, at the beginning, the Dinghai Navy had such a force, but with the further advancement of thermal weapons, the rate of fire was faster, and the power was greater, and the dragging effect of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry began to appear, and they did not play much role on the battlefield at all, but affected the configuration of troops.

If this unit has no protection, it can be replaced by fortifications, and the multi-functional infantry shovels distributed by the Navy to everyone, well-trained soldiers, in just half an hour, can dig a foxhole that can be covered by one person, and a large number of personnel are concentrated together, which can form a trench-like defensive line, with this, whether it is a longbow or cavalry, it is difficult to threaten, not to mention, there are newer projects.

Just when Di Qing and Han Qi thought that the gun project was about to end here, the next project began, a scale of 5,000 people, a brigade-level phalanx project.

Han Qi hadn't heard the term brigade, but he had heard the number of 5,000 people, and he had heard it before, and he and Di Qing had also sighed that those weapons were special weapons, so they were so perverted, just like a divine weapon like the Falling Moon Bow, this kind of thing did not have much effect, and a single longbow could not show its power at all, only hundreds of thousands of scales were powerful.

But the scale of 5,000 people, which is quite large, represents the trend of large-scale equipment, even if it appears on the battlefield, outside the range of the longbow, kill one or two thousand people at once, this can already change, the state of some local battlefields, in a sense, has to be guarded against.

In a team battle of 5,000 people, there is no way to use a target, but the Dinghai Navy, which has been prepared for a long time, has set up a so-called imaginary enemy formation, which is probably thousands of dummies wearing various armors, which can almost show some attack power, and similarly, the distance of this attack is also controlled at about 200 meters.

There is no way, not every firearm is as good as the exercise just now, if all of them are equipped with that kind of firearm, it will be unbearable for the Dinghai Navy, it is not a matter of money, it is the amount of man-hours consumed, and the relationship between personnel.

200 meters is the lethal range of ordinary firearms, and 5000 people can be divided into 5 groups to carry out a advancing attack.

This exercise, unlike the previous ones, was that the preparation time was a little longer, but it was carried out quickly, a total of 30 rounds were advanced, an average of 6 rounds were fired per person, and the average rate of fire was 2 seconds per round, that is, the overall shooting was completed in one minute, and the fixed speed was 6 rounds per minute, but the shock caused by this was amazing.

The phalanx of 1,000 people, the shooting like fried beans, the target in front, the fragmented ones, the phalanx of 5,000 people, showing the power of their team, Di Qing is such an outstanding soldier, he will automatically make up for his brain, according to the previous lethality, the current navy, except for a few large vehicles, others can not block such weapons, 5,000 people against 20,000, or even more forbidden troops, except running, there seems to be no other way to do, if you stay to attack, it will be a massacre, a one-sided massacre, You may be able to attack to the death and hurt some opponents, but the number will definitely not be large.
