Chapter 246: Goodbye, Future Second Tartar
Zhang Zhang stood up and made a forward gesture heavily!
Puff puff puff -
The first round of bows and arrows was shot at the dozen or so targets at the gate of the cottage!
Immediately, two or three thieves were hit by arrows, and Pan Batian didn't wait for the rest to react, and roared violently: 'Rush! β
Fifty musketeers and a hundred infantry men, who had long been bitten by mosquitoes, poured out all their anger at the moment when they received the order.
'Kill-' Although Da Niu had a musket on his back, he still habitually pulled out the machete at his waist and rushed forward with Pan General.
Zhang Zhang didn't charge, after all, he didn't have eyes on the sword, and he just came to supervise the battle today.
A team of instructors had already surrounded him, and Zhang Lien calmly watched Pan Batian lead the team to charge, with a resolute look on his face.
There are a total of more than a dozen members of the teaching team led by Zhang Li, all of whom are strong martial arts people in the Sun Moon Pavilion, and they are carrying military swords, if someone is unable to move forward, or takes the lead in escaping, then there is no second word, naturally it is a sword stabbing to death!
Zhang Li bowed slightly, staring at the battle situation in the cottage.
The action team led by Lao Pan does not seem to have the need to use the teaching team at present......
Wood rushed in with the group, and he didn't slash, but looked for someoneβ
Daniel.
Wood finally saw the big bull running out of a barracks with two bloody human heads hanging from his waist.
Wood rushed forward and shouted, 'Big Bull! You're fucking itching, don't you, want to be whipped? Our musketeers don't count heads! What are you supposed to do?! β
The pimple behind the wood also shouted: 'Big bull return to its position quickly!' β
Da Niu looked stunned, as if he remembered something. Walk quickly to the wood!
The three of them become a combat group, and Wood is responsible for firing guns. The pimple is responsible for cleaning the barrel, and the bull is responsible for loading ammunition.
If there is an enemy in close proximity. The big bull is in charge of hand-to-hand combat - if there is no enemy in close quarters, the big bull and the pimple must not leave their work behind and participate in the fight.
This is the tactic of the Tension Musketeers, 'continuous shooting' in groups of three.
This tactic requires the shooter to be accurate in marksmanship, somewhat similar to the snipers of later generations.
In this era, the accuracy of musket combat was very poor, because the barrel was not rifled, and the trajectory of the projectile was very erratic after it was fired.
In fact, some people in later generations thought that the muskets of the 17th century did not have a light and a crosshair, so the shooting accuracy was very low. This is wrong.
The light door and crosshair have been available for a long time, and after improvement, the effect is still very good.
The main reason for the poor shooting accuracy is that the inside of the barrel cannot be rifled, and the projectile is too 'jumpy' after it is fired.
But the so-called practice makes perfect, 'Sniper' Wood is very familiar with his team's three self-generated firearms, and in countless exercises, he knows whether to aim low or high to hit the target more easily.
'Bang Bang Bang There are only three movements.
Take the musket from the bull's hand, aim and fire, and hand the finished gun to the pimple.
I have to admit that the Germans really strive for excellence in making guns, and the Ming Dynasty made its own firearms. Generally, two or three rounds are unusable, but the Germans can shoot eight or nine rounds!
When the barrel is too hot to use and takes time to cool down. It was when the musketeers were at their weakest. At this time, Zhang Li asked the musketeers to be merged into the infantry team to protect themselves.
The firebolt can't be hit. But it can be used as a burning stick to cover the infantry battle.
until the heat dissipation of the gun tube is complete. The three-person squad starts the next cycle again.
The musket could not shoot non-stop like the later Makqin, and this tension was well known.
Of course, there are solutions, but not now.
There were shouts of killing and muskets in the cottage, and soon someone from the infantry was carried out.
They were all wounded, and there were people who had their hands and feet cut off and half of their heads cut off.
Zhang Zhang did not hesitate for a moment, and with an order, the teaching team members took out the medicine bags on their waists one after another.
Zhang Zhang personally gave medicine to the wounded, and if there were fractures, they were bandaged and fixed on the spot......
The battle lasted all night, and the Tuanshan army captured Xiaocangfeng after paying the price of more than ten dead and more than twenty wounded.
The battle damage is acceptable, and one fifth of the original 1,000 people of the Tuanshan Army have changed their faces these days.
The newly replenished soldiers are mainly from the common people, and Zhang Li has no time to train, but lets the veterans lead the new recruits and train in battle.
Xiao Cangfeng won a complete battle, but the fly in the ointment was that the bandit leader ran away. Zhang Zhang had no way to chase it, so he could only bring the captured and captured people and the people captured by the bandits back to Tuanshan Fort.
In the military conference hall of Tuanshan Fort, Zhang Li, who had just been rushed back from Xiaocangfeng, did not get a moment of rest.
Less than fifty miles northwest of Tuanshan Fort is Duoyanwei's territory.
This Yan Wei is a long story, and it is not convenient to repeat it, but it can be simply understood as the Mongols who took refuge in the Ming Dynasty -- of course, they took refuge in Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty 200 years ago.
The Yongle Emperor was afraid to kill the Mongols, so they came to take refuge.
Now the situation is different, the Ming Dynasty is at an absolute disadvantage in the war with the Houjin, so the Mongols of Duoyanwei also swayed.
The current Great Khan of the Mongols is called Lin Dan Khan, who has migrated westward under the blow of the Later Jin, and Duoyanwei is now divided into many small tribes.
And the Duoyan tribe that is alone in the reconnaissance is a pro-Tartar force, and there are more than 1,000 Han slaves in the tribe.
Tension naturally can't sit idly by.
However, although the combat power of the Mongol Tatars was worse than that of Jiannu, it was far beyond the Ming army.
After weighing it repeatedly, it was decided to continue the investigation and keep a firm eye on this Mongol tribe until the time was ripe.
β¦β¦
After the battle of Xiaocangfeng, the trio led by Mu made outstanding achievements, and ten taels of silver were awarded above.
The wood is very fair, two taels per person, and the remaining four taels of silver are enough to buy three catties of burning knives, a leg of mutton, and a full meal for three people.
Mr. Pan said that a soldier is limited to one pound of burning knives, so wood, pimples and big cattle line up together, so that they can buy three catties.
At this moment, the soldiers who had won the reward for the battle formed a long queue, waiting to buy wine and meat.
Today, there is a caravan from Tuanshan Fort that runs outside the fortress all the year round, and the food they bring is naturally ordered by tension, but there are still five or six carts of burning knives and more than a hundred fat sheep of Duoyanwei, which is naturally the business of the big soldiers.
The procession moved forward slowly, and from time to time meritorious soldiers passed by the wooden with mutton in their left hand and a jar of burning knives in their right hand and smiling.
Da Niu looked greedy, and Harazi flowed all over the ground, and said to Mu Tou a little impatiently: "Mu, we have been soldiers for three years, and this is the first time we have received a silver reward!" Mr. Zhang also arranged for a caravan selling wine and meat to come, which was so fucking cool! β
Pimple glared at Da Niu: "If you don't listen to Brother Mu that night and run to chop and kill by yourself, can we still get a bounty for the ball?" Will you listen to Brother Mu in the future?! β
'Listen,' the big bull smirked, and glanced at the wood with a flattering look: 'Wood, ah, no, no-Brother wood, how can you shoot so accurately?' The big cow is completely convinced! β
Wood licked his lips and smiled, "It's not my credit alone, you two are not bad. β
Mu Tou obviously liked the title of 'Brother Wood', and after glancing at the big cow and the pimple, he suddenly felt that the envious looks of the two of them made his bones lighter.
'Mix with Brother Wood, eat fragrant and drink spicy! The pimple saw a soldier carrying a half-leg of mutton, and his eyes showed a greedy gleam.
Mu Tou corrected solemnly: "It's to follow the soldiers and prepare for the Dao Master Zhang, and eat fragrant and drink spicy." β
'Ah, yes, yes! The pimple smiled and immediately agreed.
After a while, the team lined up to the wood and others, who didn't say anything, one person burned a knife for a catty, and the big cow carried a whole leg of mutton, and the three of them walked to the Tuanshan River with a smile.
The valley was full of soldiers roasting mutton over a bonfire, and the big cow picked a clearing by the river, and the pimple found firewood, and the three of them also picked up the grill.
It didn't take long for the leg of lamb to be covered with golden mutton fat, dripping onto the campfire, and the fire grew a little bigger.
The big cow intently flipped the leg of mutton, swallowing dryly from time to time.
From time to time, fishermen walked by the river valley, and everyone had a look of envy in their eyes.
Because Tuanshan Fort missed the spring ploughing, the livelihood of the people now is mainly based on work, and men, women and children 'earn a share of work' in exchange for some rations.
The Tuanshan Army camp in Xiaoqingwa has been built, and the 'resettlement houses for displaced people' that Master Zhang said are also being intensively expanded.
In the leisure time of labor, the common people can also go up to the mountains to hunt, go down to the river to fish, and the women and old people dig and dig wild vegetables.
The food earned by part-time work, everyone may be hungry and afraid, and they are reluctant to eat it, but they accumulate it and usually eat something else to satisfy their hunger.
As soon as Mu raised his eyes, he saw two ragged little children not far away, only eleven or twelve years old, staring at the campfire on his side, obviously attracted by the smell of barbecue.
Wood frowned slightly and beckoned to the two little boys.
What did those two children not understand? Immediately, she ran over, fell to her knees with a thud, and kept kowtowing.
The big cow and the pimple both frowned, looking at the wood, and their faces were puzzled.
Mu helped the two children up one after another, and said lightly: "Master Zhang said that in the future, no matter whether it is military or civilian, we will not be allowed to bow down...... Uh, you're still young, I'm afraid you won't understand it, anyway, you don't have to kneel on the ground in the future, do you hear? β
The two children nodded their heads, but their eyes were fixed on the roast leg of lamb dripping with mutton fat.
Mu glanced at the big cow and said, "After cutting some rump meat, bring the fat one, the child's teeth are not good, and the fat one is better than the thin one!" β
Da Niu nodded, took out the dagger at his waist, and cut a large piece of semi-fat and slimmed it down. (To be continued......)
