Chapter 206: What About the Dead Light?
After thinking about it, Yuan Zongdi once again asked Xie Junyou to tell him about his experience at that time, although he asked many times, but every time he asked, Yuan Zongdi gained something. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Guo and the others also listened very carefully, although they were arrogant and dismissive on the outside, but as old thieves, everyone's caution when fighting was deep in their bones, and it was always right to listen to more information.
Xie Junyou hung his head in the eyes of everyone, and every time he said that he had lost a battle, he would have to rip flesh on his heart, especially some of the leading posts looked at his playful eyes quite uncomfortable.
However, he still said it again, before and after, carefully and carefully, told the details of the time, and asked the donkey grandfather and grandson to have a donkey to supplement.
This lean and sturdy old bandit is very excited, the old Sun family is mixed up, these world-famous old masters, the big leaders have to listen to their own intelligence, it seems that the mixed thieves, this road is mixed up, maybe in the future, you can also bring a vote.
He nodded, added more sauce, and told his past experience: "Back to the old masters, the talented Yang He, who killed a thousand knives, his subordinates are sure to use firearms like thunderbolts." At that time, the heroes of my copper cottage attacked their military formation, and their firecrackers hid behind the shield cart, and the two rows were squatting, and they were fighting fast. …… The brothers were miserable, they rushed from fifty paces and did not reach the front of their shield cart, and as a result, they were beaten in seven rows, which was miserable! ”
Li Guo shouted: "You old thief is sure, they only have two rows of guns, and a total of seven rows of guns?" ”
Sun Youdonkey kowtowed like pounding garlic, swore that what he said was true.
Yuan Zongdi groaned, fifty steps, even if there are many people crowded together, it is not easy to rush, but seven formations of guns, this speed can be described as amazingly fast.
Xie Junyou's encounter with the horse also proves this.
Wang Lung touched his chin, and finally took a breath of cold air: "That is to say, every time they refill the medicine is fired, it will not exceed ten breaths, except for a firearm like the thunderbolt, we Lao Tzu can't think of any other firearm that hits so quickly." ”
All the thieves were shocked, they had a lot of firearms in the army, but the most elite bird-gunners would have to fire again for 60 breaths, and most of them would have to be 120 breaths, and the quality of many firearms was not good.
If you continue to use it, it will either spontaneously combust under the medicine, or the gun tube will explode, and the same will be true for the three-eyed gun, after a few shots, it will explode at every turn, after all, the cost of the excellent three-eyed gun is actually not less than how much the qualified bird gun is.
Most of the firearms used by the officers and soldiers they surrendered were shoddy and indiscriminate, and they could not be fired several times in a row, and their overall life span was only a few dozen rounds.
The guns of the Franc machine are better, and the heat dissipation is relatively good, and sometimes it can even be fired one or twenty rounds in a row before stopping the heat dissipation. It's just that there is a problem, it often vents fire, and it always burns the gunner's face full of bubbles, and even his eyes are burned blind.
Listening to Xie Junyou, and that Sun Youdonkey, the Xiangyong firearms under the surname Yang have no such problem, which is strange.
The subordinate surnamed Yang was able to survive until fifty steps before he started fighting, which surprised the thieves.
Generally, at this time, the firearms of each battalion are at least 100 paces away, and their team is no exception.
Li Guo held the horsewhip, shaking it unconsciously, he frowned and said: "These Xiangyong firearms are so sharp, listen to the sentry horseman, they still have earthen walls...... Donkey ball, this man hides behind an earthen wall, and things will be difficult. ”
He flicked his horsewhip, looked at Sun Youdonkey, and said with a smile: "Donkey master, what do you think, tell us Lao Tzu." ”
The cold eyes of all the thieves all seemed to see, Sun Youdonkey did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Go back to the big leading post, they have a strong firearm medicine, and they may use willow ash." Even if you shoot at the breech, I'm afraid that sixty-seven steps can penetrate two layers of one-inch-thick planks, and thirty or forty steps, you can penetrate four layers......"
Li Guo and the others frowned, the bird guns in their army, because the production of the guns was not good, the willow ash was too strong, and they often exploded, so they used hemp straw ash, eggplant ash, scoop ash, etc. instead. The power of the medicine is weakened, but the power of firearms is greatly reduced.
Generally, the bird guns that use willow ash gunpowder can penetrate two layers of wooden planks one inch thick (3.3 cm) at a distance of 100 steps, and they use hemp straw ash, which can only penetrate one layer.
Sun Youdonkey continued: "I think about it, if I rush at them head-on, I can only lift some door panels, more than eight inches thick, or make some shield carts......
Li Guo and the others frowned again, now there are wilderness everywhere, where can they find such a thick door panel?
Even if some temples do, they are afraid that they will be chopped by the displaced people to burn firewood.
As for the shield car, they are not the Qing army, the rogue team, and they don't want to do this.
The Qing army only used shield cars, or popularized equipment, there were four shield cars for every 100 people, all of which were of the car type, eight feet high, made of hard elm locust wood, and had four small wheels under the excellent shield car. The front guard and top plate alone are eight inches thick, covered with three layers of cowhide, and covered with mud and water-soaked quilts.
Even some shield car front guard plate is not fixed, but with live pins, the size of the lead bullet hit on it, the guard plate will be unloaded, so the Ming army bird gun hand on the hand, fine bird gun 100 steps can penetrate the two-inch thick plank, eight inches can be powerless. Not to mention not to mention the finest firearms, not to mention cowhides, quilts, mud, etc.
The Ming army's guns were divided into three rows and four rows, and the bird guns were finished after the fight, and they didn't know when they would take turns again, and occasionally the speed was fast, and they couldn't form a salvo power. But the shield chariot of the Qing army had already rushed to the front, and in the face of their strong bows and arrows, they were indeed powerless to fight back.
But Li Zicheng's team has never used a shield car, and Li Guo and others have no such thing as going east.
There are a lot of things to do to thicken the door panels, but it also depends on the place.
Seeing that these big sentinels looked wrong, Sun Youdonkey hurriedly said again: "I think about it again, there is no thick door panel, no shield cart, I can only use meat shields, let those hungry people walk in front, and consume the guns that kill a thousand knives." There are more old people and women, and some pedantic officials dare not fight ......."
Li Guo's complexion was slightly dark, and he glanced at Yuan Zongdi and the others, this trick can be used.
In fact, this is also their usual tactic, driving the hungry people to fill the trenches, and by the way, depleting the defenders' lead bullets and arrows, which has been tried and tested repeatedly.
Some magistrates were pedantic and couldn't even bear to shoot, so they took the opportunity to capture the city.
Although the officials have become more ruthless now, why not try it?
If you don't succeed, won't you die of hunger?
As long as the city can be captured, what about the 5,000 starving people who came from Lingbi County to die?
……
Li Guo was quite happy, and threw five taels of silver to Sun Youdonkey, so that he could be happy, the silver is small, and this "Jane is in the emperor's heart" is a big matter.
It seems that the strategy he offered was listened to by several big sentinels, and he did not get out of the way in Tongshanzhai, it seems that this thief, no, the rebel army, the day has come.
After solving the frontal assault, Li Guo and the others were slightly relieved, but listening to Xie Junyou's story, Suining's gang of villagers still has a shield array?
Although the return of the sentry cavalry, in front of the west gate of Suining, there is a low wall trench, and they don't know where to place their shield array, but there are one and two, and they must be guarded against.
In particular, I heard Xie Junyou and the defeated soldiers who fled back say that the power of those township brave shield formations is not small, and the heroes in the righteous army are not their opponents at all.
Wang Lung lazily held the reins, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and others pondered, after all, they were drama thieves, experienced in a hundred battles, and quickly found a way to crack it.
Li Guo had a smile on his face: "Use the fire gun!" ”
Yuan Zongdi said even more calmly: "Use artillery!" ”
Li Guo laughed: "Brother Yuan, it seems that our heroes see the same thing!" ”
Yuan Zongdi snorted coldly: "One thing descends one thing, their heavy shields, against bows and arrows, knives and axes, they are invincible, but against firearms? …… Hmph, even the Three-Eyed Gun can solve them! ”
Li Guo said with a smile: "There are a lot of firearms in our army, especially the small wolf machine, which brings as many as eighty doors, enough for them to drink a pot." ”
Because of the defeat of the trilateral governors of Shaanxi twice and the capture of cities, there are too many officers and soldiers in the camp, and each time tens of thousands of tens of thousands of people have increased.
There are many people who use firearms among officers and soldiers, such as bird guns and three-eyed guns, especially three-eyed guns, and after they surrender, they react to the ranks of the rogues, and there are also a lot of firearms hands.
According to the establishment of the Ming army, the firearms in the early days of the country accounted for one percent, every 100 soldiers, 10 gunners, 20 sword players, 30 archers, and 40 pikemen, but now, because of the rise of firearms, the proportion of firearms in the Ming army often reached more than half.
However, because the quality of firearms is poor, the power is insufficient, it is easy to blow up, and gunpowder is more difficult to find.
Many of them switched to rockets, which are sharp things, and do not need to make a strong bow, do not need the strength of the user's arm, and the strength of the rocket is only related to the power of the spray canister. Some people may only be able to use a five-force bow, but with a rocket, they can easily reach the arrows fired by a ten-force bow or even a twelve-force bow.
But the manufacture of rockets is not easy, especially the drilling of the nozzle is very critical, the drill is oblique, the rocket launch is oblique, and it will not hit people at all, and some rockets will turn when they are launched.
The preservation of rockets is also not easy, it is easy to go to nitrate, and the arrows also need a large amount of sesame oil, fish oil, rust prevention, etc.
With the logistical support of the barracks team, it is naturally difficult to continue, and those firearms men continue to degenerate.
At present, only 10% of the formation of the camp team is generally firearmsmen, and the good quality of bird guns and three-eyed guns are used, and the rest are used with bows, arrows, knives and spears.
But even so, the number of firearms and firearms of the 6,000 soldiers they dispatched reached 500, not to mention the 80 cannons of the little franc.
Li Guo and the others believed that if Suining Township bravely dispatched a shield array, they would use fire guns and artillery to deal with them, and it would be easy to defeat them.
……
After all, he is a drama thief, and his perennial activity is to fight, and soon for Yang He's team, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and others came up with a perfect way to deal with it.
But what is the specific situation, everyone has to go to Suining City, and after seeing the city defense, after all, seeing is believing, and hearing is false.
Tian Hu, Zhang Neng and others beside him praised like a tide, and even called the big collar whistle a big collar whistle, which was really extraordinary, and they found a way to deal with it so quickly.
Xie Junyou's face was also full of self-ashamedness, he had lost too many soldiers and horses, especially the elite cavalry team, and now in front of Li Guo and others, he was cautious.
Only Wang Lung's face flashed with a complicated look, followed by that grinning and frivolous look.
The audience praised, Yuan Zongdi was still deep, Li Guo was young after all, his face showed self-satisfaction, he grabbed the reins of the horse, and saw the people and horses on the official road like a tide, mighty north, the front did not see the head, the back did not see the tail, and the smoke and dust were like a long dragon on the road.
He was heartbroken, this was the ranks of their rebels, and the total number of people before and after had approached a million, and there were only a few of them.
He shouted loudly: "Pass the order, let the brothers speed up their pace, before noon, they will reach the city of Suining!" ”
