Chapter Seventy-Nine: Demonstration

The Houjin army in the second place will soon be called the Qing soldiers, and their armor soldiers, except for the factory Yi Yi Yi narrow armor, many of them are wearing double layers of cotton armor.

He instructed Li Maosen to follow his train of thought. Let's make a few samples first, and then make arrangements after the actual drill.

At present, there are 1,630 catties of wrought iron and 1,357 catties of pig iron in the Shunxiangbao warehouse. Pig iron cannot be used to make armor weapons, only helmets, unless smelted into mature iron. Wang Dou ordered to leave some pig iron to make helmets, and the rest were all smelted into mature iron to make armor leaf weapons and fire systems.

Wang Dou estimated that the current inventory of iron materials could make a hundred fires, and a few furnaces of spear heads, or a few pairs of iron armor.

The rest of the iron will be discussed after the New Year.

The new army of Shunxiang Fort and the old army have been practicing in formation for a month, and it is time to practice their weapons and martial arts.

There were more than 500 sentinels in the Shunxiang Army, half of whom were fire fighters and half pikemen. Theoretically, in addition to the fire system and spear in the hands of each soldier, Wang Dou also had to equip each soldier with a pair of armor. A waist knife. You can scrape and train a large number of cheap troops on the assembly line, so that they can continue to go into battle to kill the enemy. However, if you have a good set of equipment, you can greatly reduce the casualties of your subordinates.

There are 186 pairs of armor in stock in Shunxiang Fort, more than 300 large knives and waist knives, and nearly 1,000 spears, but most of them are not of good quality, and they have to be rebuilt. Let them use the new weapons before they are made next year.

Wang Dou made full use of several veterans of Jingbian Fort as officers of the new army, and due to the lack of manpower, he let Han Chao, Han Zhong, and several of Wang Dou's guards serve as martial arts instructors of the new army.

On the ninth day of the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Shunxiang Fort Teaching Field.

Wang Dou's eight veteran guards lined up in a row, and everyone stood solemnly with their guns in the bitter cold. Beside them, a large number of onlookers of the new army and the old army.

Not far ahead, there is also the Lin Dao Talisman. Pacify Chi Dacheng. Several of the old army's management officers Xu Lu, Wen Fangliang and others were all holding their breath and standing beside Wang Dou to watch! ”

"I'm a few guards. Last year, he was still an ordinary military household, and he came down countless times a day, but now, he has sharp marksmanship! ”

"Just a trick?"

Lin Daofu was surprised: "When the thief knife and gun come, how to defend it?" ”

Wang Dou said lightly: "I have never said that Jingbian Fort is defending, and if a shot is stabbed, either the enemy will die, or I will die!" No matter how the thieves kill, I only need to stab them, and I will live if I stab them faster, and if not, I will die! ”

Lin Daofu was stunned for a while, and said, "That's it." Casualties are inevitable. ”

Wang Dou didn't speak, half a sound, he said lightly: "In war, people always have to die!" ”

Lin Daofu suddenly shuddered.

Xu Lu and Wen Fangliang glanced at each other, their faces were pale, such an army was too terrifying, indifferent to life and death, indomitable, fighting for each other's casualties. Whoever can hold out until the end wins. Moreover, only one move was practiced, which greatly accelerated the degree of becoming an army.

It only takes a few months for them to become an army, and it takes many years for their own families, who can fight them?

The advantages and disadvantages of Wang Dou's army are equally obvious, and to reduce casualties, only good armor and deepening the skill proficiency of the sergeants can be invincible as long as they wield 30% to 50% of what they have learned in peacetime in wartime.

After the demonstration of the veterans, from today onwards, the new army of Shunxiangbao and the old army were divided into pikemen and fire locks, and the two parts of the soldiers began to practice.

As in the Jingbian Fort in the past, the spearman's spear is broken down into two steps, the first step is to raise the gun sideways, and the second step is to thrust hard. After that, practice these two movements repeatedly every day until you are proficient!

Compared with Shibian Fort, the number of Shunxiang troops is much larger, and this scene is even more spectacular. At this time, they were all carrying fuel bags and ammunition bags, which contained dozens of customized cartridge ammunition.

In general, before the operation. And the arquebuses of the soldiers were ready. The arquebus had already been lit, so this step was basically not considered shooting practice during combat.

The two columns of bird soldiers were already standing, and they were not so closely lined up compared to the annoying guns, because each bird had a long lit arquebus on it.

"Get the gun!"

An instructor next to him shouted an order, and the two columns of birds commanded the soldiers and shouted: "Take the gun!" ”

"Wow!" With a sound, they all took the bird mirror in their hands.

"Open the fire door!"

The instructor shouted again.

"Open the fire door!"

The two columns of bird commanders roared in unison and opened the fire gate together.

"Take the medicine!"

"Take the medicine!"

The two columns of bird commanders roared, took out a piece of paper shell ammunition from the ammunition bag, and both bit it from the mouth, and bit open the end of the paper poison with their teeth.

"Pour the medicine!"

The two columns of bird commanders poured some of the gunpowder from the paper shell ammunition into the fire gate.

"Turn off the fire!"

The two columns of bird commanders closed the fire door together.

"Spear!"

"What!" With a bang, the two columns of bird commanders stood the birds on the ground together.

"Reload.

Wang Dou also nodded with satisfaction, and he said: "In the future, after the qualified fire control is made, the fire and conscientious hands of the Shunxiang army must be practiced in this way, and how many steps are divided into fire control attacks, and each step must be memorized, so as not to panic in battle." ”

He said to Lin Daofu: "Lord Lin, in the future, I think it is necessary to come up with a "Infantry Drill Code" for the scraping of the pikemen and fire mirror hands of our Shunxiang Fort in the future, no matter who trains the army in the fort, it will be handled in this way, so that the pikemen and fire commanders of our Shunxiang Fort can be formed in a steady stream!" ”

Lin Daofu nodded, he sighed secretly, in front of this kind of tough soldiers who have been trained in batches, no matter how high his personal skills are, he is useless in the army.

Since then, the Shunxiang army has been practicing like this every day, hundreds of fire commanders, they are now just holding a wooden stick to practice the shooting steps of muskets, and the dozens of bird locks brought from Jingbian Fort are also being scraped and practiced by each person in turn, feeling the feeling of playing with real guns.

Wang Dou estimated that these dozens of bird mirrors would be scrapped and replaced in a short time.

In addition to practicing ear spears and fire tongs, every Shunxiang army has to practice swordsmanship, which is also a move and two steps.

The instructor shouted: "Raise the knife!" ”

"Kill!"

Hundreds of people slashed down at the same time, a neat sword light. The momentum is amazing!
