Botou Town, Sun Yuanbu, Ningxiang Army Formation. （）

The Qing army had already pressed in front of the Ningxiang army, and they were all sword and shield bearers. All the people held their shields, connected into a low wall, and slammed forward fiercely, as if they wanted to smash the Ningxiang army's phalanx into powder like walnuts in this rude way.

Shots rang out.

"Bang!" Hundreds of muskets were fired at the same time.

This is Liu Yuliang's first time in the battle array, in the past, as a cabinet minister, he was delicate and expensive, and his ten fingers did not stick to the spring water, not to mention watching people fight, even a chicken had never been killed. This time, he was just looking at the frontline for self-preservation.

However, after staying in the Ningxiang Army for so long, Lao Liu Tou suddenly became very interested in military affairs, and he was not ashamed to ask questions every day and studied military knowledge hard. In the Ningxiang army, except for Sun Yuanzhi's endless words, others respected this pavilion elder and did things perfunctorily, and some people even slapped him hard and fooled him in order to get rid of this bad old man.

Now Liu Gelao's self has swelled, and he feels that he is the most knowledgeable person in the cabinet, and in comparison, Yang Sichang is just Zhao Kuo who talks on paper.

Because of this, the old man had a romantic curiosity and anticipation for war.

At the moment when Jiannu attacked, Liu Ge Lao stood up from the horse and stretched out his neck with all his might, his eyes as round as copper bells, lest he miss any detail.

Hundreds of projectiles made a sharp whistling sound and struck the shield in Jiannu's hand.

The leather and iron skin on the surface of the Qing soldier's shield were like paper paste, and they were instantly pierced by the scorching projectiles.

Before the enemy behind the shield could see the appearance of the Ningxiang musketeer clearly, his body was numb and he fell directly to the ground, unable to get up again.

In just one moment, the dense team of Jiannu sword and shield players who rushed to the forefront instantly thinned out.

At the same time, the white smoke that erupted from the muzzle of the gun had already formed a low wall of mist in front of the formation, and it was gray and chaotic

。

"I can't see clearly, I can't see clearly!" Boss Liu Ge was disappointed and kept chattering.

Then came the second round, the third round of the platoon of guns. The smoke of gunpowder turned an eerie pink color from the splashing of human blood.

Sun Yuan: "Yes, Elder Ge is right. There are two problems with musket salvos, one is that because there is moisture in the gunpowder, the smoke is also very large, so that in the end, the shooter's vision is blocked by the smoke of gunpowder, and there is no way to fight again. Therefore, the musketeers did not fight on the battlefield for a long time. After firing a few rounds of buckshot, it was necessary to retreat and leave the battle to the infantry. At that time, the last general also thought about forming a pure musketeer. After all, there are many benefits to a single class. Whether it is weapon maintenance, soldier training, or logistics supply, it is much simpler. (.marshmallow) is a pity, ah......"

"What a pity?" Liu Ge asked.

"It's a pity that a single musketeer is not easy to use on the battlefield, and our army suffered a big loss when it was pulled into the battlefield for the first time. It can be said that when the board falls on the body, I know that it hurts. Later, Sun Yuan learned that the coordinated operation of all arms of the group army was the king. In terms of the number of casualties killed, the cavalry was at the top of the list in pursuit of the enemy, followed by the spearmen, followed by the musketeers and artillerymen. ”

As he spoke, the musketeers below began to fire in a dense manner, and the musketeers had switched to free-fire mode.

Liu Yuliang was tireless in learning and asked, "What is the second problem of the musketeer?" ”

Sun Yuan: "The second problem with muskets is that they have a short range, and the projectiles that shoot out don't have any accuracy at all, and they can't be aimed at all. There is a saying that within a hundred paces, if you want to accurately hit an enemy's body, you have no better chance of hitting the moon in the sky. Because no one knows where the bullets you shoot will drift away, and they can hit the enemy, basically relying on Meng. ”

Liu Yuliang was caused by Sun Yuan's vivid metaphor to laugh in a low voice: "Since the accuracy of the musket is so poor, then, how should it be used?" ”

"The elder of the pavilion has asked the point, and Eun Xiang can instantly think of the musket method of warfare, and the general will admire it." Sun Yuan complimented Liu Yuliang without a trace, and said: "If the musketeers want to kill and injure the enemy on the battlefield, the first way is to directly put the muzzle of the gun on the enemy's head and fire. Of course, on the battlefield, the enemy will not give you this opportunity. Then, there is only one way left, which is to concentrate all the muskets and fire in the same direction, and act in front of the formation with a barrage to make up for the lack of accuracy

。 ”

"I see, I see." Liu Yuliang felt that his understanding of military affairs had taken a step further, and it seemed that the harvest of going to the front line with Sun Yuan this time was really not small. If you only sit with Sun Yuan and talk about it, you will finally feel shallow on paper.

Sun Yuan: "The musket can only hold back the enemy for a moment, wear down their morale a little, and cannot finally defeat the enemy. ”

"We'll see."

Liu Yuliang sat back again, his face was relaxed, and he even opened the folding fan in his hand with a swipe and shook it violently. There is a kind of lupine scarf, and there is a sense of annihilation between talking and laughing.

The gunfire stopped at the moment when the Jiannu sword and shield soldiers approached the spear phalanx of the Ningxiang army, the wind blew, and the large cloud of gunpowder smoke rolled and gradually dissipated.

Liu Yuliang looked down from the hillside, but saw Jiannu who was already lying on the ground in front of the battle, some of the enemies were dead, and some were screaming loudly and twitching and struggling in the mud, and then they were ruthlessly trampled by the Qing soldiers behind.

Probably because there were a lot of people on the ground in front of them, or after being suppressed by muskets, they were afraid in their hearts, and the formation of the Qing army was a little chaotic. The shields, which had been tightly connected like a wall, also fell apart, revealing gaps.

And the speed of Jiannu's charge also slowed down, and some people even slowed down and hid behind their comrades.

Liu Yuliang nodded with satisfaction: "Taichu just said that the musketeers could not finally defeat the enemy army, and the old man did not dare to agree. Judging from the current situation, Jiannu's morale has collapsed! ”

"This is just the banner of the Han army, if it is replaced by the authentic White Armor of the Eight Banners Baya La, it will not be so chaotic." Sun Yuan said: "The last general on the other side has already figured out that it is Kong Youde's subordinates. The old people in the army used to be the border army of Dongjiang Town, Daming Dynasty, and they all had the problems that our Ming army should have. ”

Sun Yuan's tone seemed to be full of disdain for the Ming Dynasty's nine-sided powerhouse, and Liu Ge Lao didn't think there was anything wrong with Sun Yuan saying this, but bowed slightly.

Sun Yuan continued: "The last general has fought with Jiannu three times, and he is also quite familiar with the enemy. Today's Jianzhou Eight Banners are in the most courageous period, and their successive victories over the years have made them arrogant and arrogant. If they had been encountered today, this volley of muskets would not only not disrupt the enemy's attack, but would have made them even more ferocious. However, Kong Youde's troops...... Today's battle will be easy at the end. ”
