Chapter 258: Paper Bullet Prototype?

Entering the barracks and coming to the training ground, Yang Xuan took a closer look at it and asked the surrounding generals by the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing Yang Xuan's face turn from sunny to cloudy, Guo Chonglie explained: "My lord, although this brigade has been formed for two months, in the past few months, everyone has mainly carried out tun farming, and there is less training, so the queue is not neat. ”

Yang Xuan beckoned, and asked the captain Yang Biao to call a few squad leaders and squadron leaders over, and asked: "Brothers, you may feel quite strange, the other departments have not paid much attention to the training of military posture and grooming in the queue, why do our loyal and righteous army pay so much attention to the training of military posture and grooming in the queue?" ”

Yang Biao saluted and replied: "My lord, let the team look neat and tidy, so that the people have confidence in us." ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and replied: "Captain Yang, not only that, it looks neat, the people have confidence in us, this is superficial kung fu, and our loyal and righteous army does not play superficial kung fu."

Everyone came from all over the world, and before joining the Loyal Army, the situation was different, some were farmers, some were apprentices to craftsmen, and some were homeless, and the situation was very different and completely different.

Since we are now a loyal and righteous army, we must have the appearance of a loyal and righteous army, we must twist people with different ideas into a rope, and in training, on the battlefield, we must achieve the same desire and hatred of the enemy, only in this way can we defeat the large number of green battalion soldiers and horses, and only then can we hold our position in the tide of enemy cavalry, and not collapse at the touch of a button, as in the past.

And the grooming queue is like this, as long as we see the outfit of the loyal army, we will admit in our hearts that although we have no flesh and blood kinship, in training, we are brothers shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield.

In the queue training, I have to be consistent with my brothers in front of and behind me, and in the release I have to be consistent with my brothers in the same column, and in the process of hand-to-hand combat, the brothers around me will be my most trusted partners.

Brothers, you must firmly remember that this military appearance and this queue training are not superficial efforts, not to have face in front of the big girl, but to represent the honor of our soldiers, on behalf of our belonging, on behalf of our determination to be able to unite and hate the same enemy. ”

Hearing this, everyone was ashamed, and the one on the side always came out to admit their mistakes and promised to correct them.

I looked at the training facilities in the army, such as horizontal bars, parallel bars, stone bells, single-plank bridges, trenches, sandbags, shooting ranges, etc., although there were in the past, but there were many more in the past.

Yang Xuan stopped from time to time to communicate with the training team leader, although some of the soldiers were nervous, they were still very happy to talk.

After turning around like this and returning to the platform, Guo Chonglie leaned closer and said: "My lord, every time you go to the barracks, you have to name two brigades to conduct hand-to-hand combat drills, do you still watch it this time?" ”

Returning to his seat, he looked at the generals who were waiting beside him and said: "Of course, this needs to be seen, in the face of a weak brigade, the release of the gun may scare the other party away, but if you really face a first-class strong enemy, in addition to disrupting the opponent's formation, it is close hand-to-hand combat."

The biggest difference from other Ming armies is determination and courage, other Ming armies may also be able to contend with strong enemies from a long distance, but when the opponent kills hand-to-hand combat, it is often crushed at the first touch.

The real powerhouse is not only able to kill the enemy, but the most important thing is to defeat the strong enemy through hand-to-hand combat.

From now on, everyone must firmly remember this sentence, that is, the use of guns is a trick, the bayonet is a kung fu, and the real hero of the enemy is killed. ”

When the surrounding generals heard this, they all hugged their fists and replied: "Letting go is a trick, bayonet is kung fu, and slashing and killing the enemy is a true hero."

During the preparation of the two brigades, Qian Bangxin next to him smiled, as if he was mocking Yang Xuan's mediocre kung fu, and he was only good at marksmanship.

Yang Xuan's face did not change and his heart did not beat, standing in front to watch the two teams fight in close quarters, although the scene was very warm, and everyone was also carrying out assassination drills, but there was always a feeling that the skills were not refined and there was a lack of cooperation between each other.

Since the biggest enemy is the Manchurian Tatar cavalry, in addition to the infantry hand-to-hand combat drills, the most important thing is to be able to withstand the impact of the Tatar cavalry.

In the past, people could easily face the Tartar cavalry in hilly areas by relying on the slopes and terrain, but now the tactics of practicing on the plains are nothing more than firing guns, throwing stumbling nails, throwing thunderstorms, and digging horse pits, while hand-to-hand combat can only rely on courage, determination, and mutual coordination.

Everyone also admits this, but as Guo Chonglie said, everyone has different backgrounds, and some of them are very good at practicing kung fu, and they often fight alone on the battlefield, and are unwilling to cooperate with others.

There are many hand-to-hand combat tactics of the loyal and righteous army, such as the frontal three-talent formation, the four-talent formation blocking, and the triangular attack during the counterattack, although it seems simple, but how flexible it is really ever-changing, it will take months of effort.

Actual combat is a real good teacher in life, in the past, we were stationed in the hills of northern Sichuan, there were many wild beasts in the forest, everyone experienced through hunting, and now the Chengdu Plain can not be practiced at all.

After the infantry and cavalry confrontation drill, the last thing is to release the gun, although Yang Xuan shouted that the gun is a trick, the bayonet is a kung fu, and the real hero of the enemy cavalry is killed, but unlike the strong armies in the past, the biggest feature of the loyal army is the sharpness of firearms.

A squad stepped forward and fired at the target in front of 100 paces, and the one who hit all three shots was a sharpshooter, which was a rule set by Qi Jiguang a hundred years ago.

Just like the world shooting champions in China in the previous life, many people are not good-looking, but they are particularly accurate in shooting, and each squad is happy to have sharpshooters who hit all three shots, which is really not easy in the era of black powder with smoothbore guns (40-50 meters to break heavy armor, 80 meters to hurt soldiers without armor).

Today's inspection bumped and bumped, but there were no major mistakes, after seeing Guo Chonglie beside him breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Xuan thought about it and decided to give it another try, that is, let these sharpshooters have a competition.

Everyone aimed at the moving target and began to release the guns at the same time to see who could finish the three guns in one hundred shots.

Guo Chonglie was shocked and arched his hand; "My lord, this, this has not been reviewed like this in the past."

Glaring at the other party, Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "Guo Chonglie, you are the governor or I am the governor of the governor, how to review it is my business."

How do you want to be reviewed, wait until you become a governor in the future, what are you doing this time? ”

Sticking out their tongues, everyone lined up, and after the barrel was inspected by the school officer, with the wave of the command flag, a dozen soldiers desperately loaded ammunition, lit the arquebus, and then aimed and fired.

Surprisingly, one of the soldiers was very fast, and he started to aim and shoot when the others had just reloaded the gunpowder, so that he had already shot the third gun when the others had just finished firing the second gun.

Compared with everyone, the only fly in the ointment is that the third gun is slightly weaker and misses the target.

Yang Xuan rewarded the soldiers who took the lead in completing the three targets, and when he returned to the Chinese army's big tent, he asked Guo Chonglie to find the fastest person to miss the target.

Looking at the middle-sized and honest man in front of him, after first asking his name, place of origin, enlistment time, and the unit he belonged to, Yang Xuan smiled and said: "He Jiushao, I see that you are quite unconvinced in the daytime competition, tell me where you lost?" ”

He Jiushao arched his hand and said: "Lord Constitution, the villain is mainly deliberately seeking performance, and the second rake did not build the lead and released it, so it was off target." ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "The most important thing for musketeers is to aim and shoot, that is, the speed of loading ammunition, which is a bit like what everyone often says, you can't have both, you tell me, how did you do it." ”

He Jiushao said with a smile on his face when he heard this: "My lord, since we joined the army, in addition to queue training, we have wiped the guns and memorized the mantra.

One washes the gun, two medicines, three medicines, four leads, five leads, six papers, seven papers, eight open doors, nine medicines, ten press the fire rope, and eleven listen to the order to open the fire door.

Two of them, four lead, and six paper need to be built with a cane, and each time this is not only troublesome, but also often rushed.

The lowly duty is wondering if the three actions can be completed together, that is, after putting down the gunpowder, lead, and paper respectively, and then building it with a wooden staff. ”

Shocked in his heart, Yang Xuan ordered him to demonstrate in public, only to see him take out the paper bag containing gunpowder from the bamboo tube and bite it and pour the gunpowder into it, then take out the lead from the lead bag and put it in, and finally stuff the bitten paper bag into the barrel, tamp it and launch it.

Feeling a tightness in his heart, he felt that this He Jiushao's firing method was consistent with his own firing method when he first joined the army, looked up at the other party, and saw that the other party's whole person looked very honest, looked at the barrel of the gun and asked: "My lord, in the past, it was enough to build it back and forth five times, and the villain built it ten times, and he was often in a hurry and didn't build it." ”

Seeing the other party like this, Yang Xuan's eyes lit up, it was okay to build solid three times in the past, so it should be okay to put gunpowder, lead, and projectiles in one time.

If that's the case, it's a paper bullet, and you can wrap gunpowder and lead together with kraft paper, and when you fire it, you just need to bite through the kraft paper, and then load the gunpowder, lead, and paper together and tamp it together.

If this is improved, the Musketeer's firing speed will be increased by at least 2 times, and if so, there is no need to fear the opposing cavalry.

Feeling that his face was flushed, Yang Xuan almost wanted to study this aspect immediately, but he still shook his head again and again after thinking about it, if the Tartars peeked into such a tactic, I am afraid it would not be the blessing of the loyal and righteous army.

After thinking about it, Yang Xuan decided to transfer He Jiushao to Guard Town, and under the guidance of Wang Gao, the general manager, he studied how to avoid dampness of gunpowder, and studied quickly
