Chapter 176: Survey

With the experience of going to the mountains last time, Liu Yuanshan learned to be obedient this time, and the bullets and gunpowder were no longer packed in clay pots, but replaced with lighter gourds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Compared with the clay pot, the gourd is not only much lighter, but also easy to put on a rope, and it is very convenient to hang on the body.

Liu Yuanshan asked people to put the prepared gunpowder and iron beads into a dry gourd, distributed one to each person, and asked each of the twelve people to carry a spear and run up the mountain in a line, and began to practice shooting at a secret place at the top of the mountain to adjust the crosshairs of the guns.

Everyone's gun has a number, which can ensure that all the guns they get every day are the same one, and people who have used the same gun for a long time will be familiar with its performance, and it will be natural and easy to use.

Of course, in order to keep it absolutely secret, let Erlang and two people intercept the road up the mountain halfway up the mountain, and no one was allowed to go up the hillside above Qianning Temple, including the people in Liu Yuanshan's house.

A temporary shooting range was prepared on the mountain, parallel to four rows, each row had targets from 50 meters to 200 meters, a section of 50 meters, a total of four wooden signs, and several brightly colored circles were drawn on the wooden board from the inside to the outside, imitating the pattern of shooting according to the ring scoring in later generations.

There are a total of twelve people, divided into four groups, three people in each group, and each group elects a team leader, who is one, Bian Keng and Edamame! Liu Yuanshan is the captain of the brigade and the leader of the first team.

"Look!" Liu Yuanshan picked up his own No. 1 flintlock pistol, turned it upside down and first loaded the bullet with a steel drill, and then put a large amount of black powder from the medicine pool behind.

When everything is ready, pick it up and aim at the first target fifty meters away and pull the trigger.

With a "pop" sound, the bullet flew out, and Liu Yuanshan's body with recoil moved slightly.

That's a lot of energy! With the same amount of gunpowder, the newly prepared gunpowder is much more powerful than the gunpowder of a firecracker that has been peeled out.

Liu Yuanshan raised his eyes and looked at the target in front of him, leaving a round hole in the upper position in the middle.

"Six Rings! Hey hey"

Liu Yuanshan refilled the gunpowder again, corrected the error and shot again, this time he got a nine-ring, which was only less than five centimeters away from the ten-ring dot in the middle.

Gradually, the gun in his hand became more and more accurate, and finally aimed at a target 200 meters away, and under normal circumstances, the error would not exceed 20 centimeters.

The accuracy is terrifying.

Next, carefully teach each of them to learn how to charge, learn to shoot, feel the performance of the gun by themselves, and grasp the crosshair by themselves.

In order to save bullets, all the steel balls that are shot out should be recovered as much as possible, and this method can also hide the secrets of the mountain top as much as possible.

In the afternoon, a dozen or so people were basically able to shoot at a target 200 meters away.

It's the speed of the charge, a little slow.

"The charge must be fast!" Liu Yuanshan took the gun and said: "The task I have set for you is one minute, and within one minute, the bullet must be installed and the medicine pool must be filled with medicine, so that the three of them can rotate over." ”

In groups of three, one gun is always guaranteed to be fired at all times.

After the first person fires, he immediately loads, and the second and third people go up and continue shooting.

Aiming plus shooting, including the time to find the target, should add up to one minute for the three people, so the reload must also be completed within one minute.

Because the flintlock pistol in Liu Yuanshan's hand has no fire rope and eliminates the need for ignition, its loading speed is also much faster, and there is no problem for a skilled hand to complete the reloading within a minute.

If you are proficient in using the gun, you may even be able to complete it in 30 seconds.

Two hundred meters away, one bullet in twenty seconds is enough to destroy five times the strength of one's own troops.

After training in the afternoon, Liu Yuanshan personally led a dozen people under his command to get up quickly and quietly went to the surrounding Tongshan to survey the terrain.

Although Liu Yuanshan had a big killing weapon in his hand, he didn't want to fight any uncertain battle.

Countless classic battles have proved that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and accidents may occur at any time, and only by understanding the terrain of the battlefield, understanding the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and us, and then fighting a perfect and prepared battle, is the key.

Kiriyama is huge, and it is still unknown where the bandits are hiding.

Liu Yuanshan led people to investigate on the spot, and it took a full half of the night to lock down the bandits' den.

When he saw the location of the bandit cottage, Liu Yuanshan's brows furrowed.

It's not easy to fight!

First of all, it is so high that bandits can condescend to see what is going on.

Second, there is a rather sturdy wooden fence outside the bandits' den, and even if they carry guns, they may not be able to cross it with just a dozen people. After all, bandits are not stupid, and they burp when they shoot random arrows.

Secondly, a bonfire is always burning at the door of the bandits' cottage at night, illuminating the entire front of the gate as if it were day, and all the grass and trees in front of the gate of the village are cleared, turning into an open area that can be seen far away at a glance.

Even though their own men carry guns, if they are exposed to such places, they will surely die.

"It seems that the leader of this bandit also knows a little military common sense!" Liu Yuanshan smiled slightly, but he was not worried.

Although your stockade is good, you can't help but come out, Lao Tzu doesn't play with you in the stockade, can't you just lure the snake out of the hole?

After seeing the village, Liu Yuanshan waved his hand and led people around the mountain again, carefully surveyed and designed, and finally found the best place to destroy the enemy.

It was a col that lay like the bottom of a pot on the bandits' way down the mountain, slightly higher on all sides and lowest in the middle, and this terrain was best suited for ambushing opponents from a distance.

Liu Yuanshan gave this land a temporary military geographical code: Point A!

After the investigation is completed, it is necessary to collect the team back, from Liujia Village to Tongshan is only six or seven miles away, in the second half of the night there is no one in the deep mountains and old forests, a group of 12 people with guns on their backs to quickly close the team.

Thanks to the weekday training and a month's trip to Shennong Mountain, these young men's physique has been trained very well, and they just run three kilometers in a row on the mountain road with a gun on their backs, playing the same.

After returning in the evening, Liu Yuanshan personally supervised everyone's guns and ammunition in the thick stone house in order, and after the inventory was completed, the heavy iron door was locked

The musket is a sharp weapon, not only to prevent others from getting the technology, but also to prevent their own people from having any accidents with the gun, this trick of gun management is Liu Yuanshan learned from his descendants.

"Okay, you all rest early, remember, don't sleep too hard, we're likely to have a fight with the bandits in the next two days, you guys are ready to fight! Also, remember to keep it a secret, except for the twelve of us, don't tell anyone what happened today. Liu Yuanshan waved his hand at the crowd and drove them back to rest (to be continued.) )
