"Thank you, big brother!" Wu Ermao took the lead, and the brothers kowtowed to Li Zicheng, if the small flag officer and the chief flag officer are just a change in identity, the food and salary obtained are only enough for food and clothing, and your reward this time is enough for them to live a well-off life for a period of time, with the price of the Ming Dynasty at this time, fifty taels of silver, you can buy five acres of fertile land, or a hundred stones of fine grain.

Especially what Li Zicheng just analyzed for them, the small flag officer and the chief flag officer are lifelong jobs, and they have some guilt in their hearts.

It's only been a few days!

This time to blackmail the governor of Sichuan, Zhang Lun, was basically Wu Ermao's idea, and the dangerous work was done by Shangguan Siyu, that is, when he met the Sichuan soldiers in the end, it was the eldest brother who led someone to pick him up, and these brothers just ran errands, and in the blink of an eye, they got so much reward!

This is what they call ...... I misunderstood my big brother just now.

The last kowtow was driven by Wu Ermao, and he was somewhat reluctant, but this time he kowtowed, not only willingly, but also had the element of apology, so when kowtowing, although there was not much difference in loudness, the strength had increased a lot, and there were two brothers who had blood oozing blood on their foreheads.

"Get up, they're all your own brothers, why do you have to do this?" Although Li Zicheng didn't show a smile, the frost on his face faded again, "The house you live in is a temporary residence, and Weili will have to take it back sooner or later, because you have made meritorious contributions twice in a row, and I will reward each of you with a set of three rooms, however, the living room is very simple, if you want to marry your mother-in-law in the future, or if you want to enter a few mansions, you will have to make new contributions, I will give you a chance, but everything depends on yourself!" ”

"Thank you, big brother!" Wu Ermao knelt down first, causing all the brothers to kowtow and thank him, "Big brother, if there is any task, you can directly order, no matter whether it is a merit or not, the brothers will definitely work hard to complete it." ”

"During this period of time, your task is to learn military discipline, Ermao, the brothers will be handed over to you, if something goes wrong, I will only ask you!" Li Zicheng's face finally showed spring light, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, "Now, our task is to drink, today is to celebrate the glory of all the brothers, no one is allowed to hide it, we don't get drunk and don't return......"

………………………………………………………………

The craftsmen of the craftsman's workshop worked day and night to cast, and by the end of July, 100 rifles had been built, and Li Zicheng hesitated whether these 100 rifles were distributed to Ma Youshui's 600th household or Zhou Bin's 500th household.

The 600th household already has more than 200 rifles, and all the soldiers have completed their shooting training, except for Tang Zhengtao and Qian Desheng, the two general flag officers, who have officially issued rifles, and more than 100 rifles are undergoing tactical training in the hands of the soldiers of the two general flags.

And the 500th household has already completed the first step of shooting training for two general flags, and the other two general flags are undergoing shooting training and have entered the end.

From the point of view of need, the two hundred households are now in special need, and the distribution to the 600 households can enable them to form an army as soon as possible and be able to go to the battlefield as soon as possible, and the 500 households can allow the soldiers to complete the first step of shooting training on a large scale, so that more soldiers can come into contact with rifles as soon as possible.

It's all about where you can be more effective.

Li Zicheng heard that the 600th household of Ma Youshui was conducting tactical training outside the city, so he decided to take a look at it, and then decide the ownership of the 100 rifles.

The soldiers followed him out of the south gate and came to the predetermined outside of the city, looking from afar, there was a group of people on the green grass in front of them, and there were a few war horses waiting to be sent in the distance, which were being held by the soldiers on the reins.

After walking in, the people were divided into two groups, and Li Zicheng smiled and said: "What the hell is there water, isn't it for the soldiers to engage in confrontation exercises?" ”

Seeing Li Zicheng suddenly coming, Ma Youshui hurriedly greeted him, bowed his head and bowed, "Your Excellency, ......"

Li Zicheng didn't get off the horse, just waved his hand and asked Ma Youshui to get up, "Youshui, I heard that you think the training ground is too small, so you pulled the brothers outside the city for training, how about it, can the brothers adapt to the 'three-stage' shooting method?" ”

"My lord, the soldiers of these two general flags have mastered the basic essentials of 'three-stage' shooting, and their subordinates are increasing the difficulty for them to improve their battlefield adaptability!"

Li Zicheng pointed to several war horses in front of him with his hand, "Ao, have you mastered the essentials?" So what are you doing with these horses? Is it training to deal with cavalry? ”

"This ......" Ma Youshui scratched the back of his head, "The subordinates don't know if they can deal with the cavalry, the subordinates just want to test the shooting speed of the brothers, if they encounter the Mongolian cavalry in the future, at least they know what to do!" ”

"What are the results?" Li Zicheng looked at the gunners on the side, they had already loaded their bullets, because Ma Youshui did not give the order to shoot, they were all waiting, and even the soldiers who were waiting for the war horses on the opposite side were also waiting quietly.

"Back to my lord, the war horse attacks from a mile out, from four hundred steps to two hundred steps at this distance, the brothers can send out two rounds of shooting, after entering the best shooting distance of two hundred steps, to the warning distance of one hundred steps, you can also complete a round of shooting," Ma Youshui said sonorously: "Four hundred steps is the effective shooting distance of the rifle, the brothers' aim is three to four percent, the best shooting distance to enter two hundred steps, the accuracy can exceed fifty percent, this is the data of the cavalry, but I don't know if such data can deal with the Mongolian cavalry ......"

Li Zicheng silently calculated, with a hit rate of about fifty percent, if there were five hundred gunners against five hundred Mongolian cavalry, before entering the range of the Mongols' bows and arrows, they could consume half of their cavalry, but once they entered the range of the Mongols' bows and arrows, and even entered the white-knuckle battle, the advantage that the Xining soldiers had just accumulated would probably cease to exist.

However, infantry against cavalry was never one-on-one, and the demographic superiority of the Han Chinese had to be brought into play anyway, if the number of gunners was twice or even triple that of the Mongol cavalry...... In the final analysis, as long as there is a sufficient number of "Xining rifles", he can equip more soldiers, and the training of the gunners is not like the Mongols training cavalry, which requires training from a young age, but in a few months, it will be easier to replenish, and the Mongolian cavalry will die one less, and it will take at least ten years to replenish it.

However, Li Zicheng suddenly thought of the scenes in the film and television dramas of later generations, and he already had a plan in his heart.

"There is water, you let the cavalry sprint again first, and I will see for myself."

"Yes, sir!"

Ma Youshui turned around and came to the gunners, first prompting them to get ready, and then raising the flag to the soldiers controlling the horses on the opposite side and asking them to let them go.

"Da Da Da ......"

Although there were only five or six war horses, under the gaze of everyone, the power of speed was infinitely magnified, and even Li Zicheng's heart was like a deer.

Such an experiment, once the test is successful, and when you encounter the Mongol cavalry in the future, you can also wreak havoc on the flat land of the steppe, unlike before, you can only rely on the city wall, or rely on human life to pile up.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The gunners fired the first wave of fire, and although it was a salvo, there was a difference in the speed at which each person pulled the trigger, and it sounded like a rain crackling on the roof of a yurt.

The gunners in the first row squatted in the front row, and after they shot the bullets, they did not observe the results of the battle, but hurriedly began to load ammunition, and the gunners in the second row were always standing, and the people in front did not affect their sight, they had already completed their aiming, and when they saw that the war horses were continuing to assault, they hurriedly pulled the trigger in their hands.

After finishing the shooting, they hurriedly crouched down like the first row of gunners to reload and make room for space, and at this time, the third row of gunners, who had long been impatient, began their performance.

At the end of this round, the gunners in the first row had finished loading and began a new round of shooting.

After the two rounds of shooting were completed, Li Zicheng looked at the war horse, and at this time, the war horse that rushed to the front had just entered the best shooting area of 200 meters marked on the ground.

After another round of firing from the soldiers, the horses entered the cordon at a hundred paces.

If the horses can be stopped a hundred paces away, the three rows of gunners can continue to shoot again and again, unless there are not enough bullets, or the barrel is too hot to continue shooting.

Li Zicheng suddenly found that the soldiers had stopped shooting, but the war horses continued to run, what if they collided with the soldiers?

Before he could ask questions, he realized that his thoughts were superfluous, and if such a stampede occurred, wouldn't the gunners have suffered heavy losses?

Sure enough, when the war horses were still forty or fifty paces away from the soldiers, the gunners in the first row had already put down their rifles and took out half-human-high wooden cards from the ground.

Li Zicheng could only see the back of the wooden signs, and was a little curious for a while, "Hey, there is water, why are the war horses afraid of these wooden cards?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates asked people to draw the pattern of a big insect on the wooden plaque, and they all opened their mouths with big mouths......

"Haha, there's water, it's really yours!"

If Liu Yunshui and Li Guo are brave generals and are suitable for controlling the cavalry, they have the characteristics of "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road", then Ma Youshui and Zhou Bin are more prominent in strategy, better at offensive and defensive warfare, and willing to use their brains in everything.

In today's training, Li Zicheng saw Ma Youshui's intentions, and the mistakes he made in the Salar incident last time gradually erased the traces.

At this time, the soldiers had already gathered the war horses, and Li Zicheng found that the white cloth wrapped around the straw man on the war horse was already scarred, and the charred hole was connected to the hole, and it was almost impossible to see how many bullets had been hit, "There is water, won't this hurt the war horse?" ”
