402 Unconvinced Liao Army and Lovely Sichuan Army (I)
"How? Brother Bei, what is the level of Wu Sangui's target shooting with our Qionghai gun? ”
At the end of the evening's training, a group of young men who had not been able to go to the shooting range because they had to stay in the camp to watch the excitement came to the north latitude and asked him about the shooting results of the famous man in history in the afternoon. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info Wu Sangui not only got what he wanted, experienced the excellent handling of the Qionghai rifle, but also took action in person to teach him some basic shooting essentials.
“…… It won't take long to get the hang of... First-line rules, the shooting posture is also very standard. The gun is very steady, and the shoulders do not move at all. The eyes are good, and at a standard distance of 250 meters, only three test shots were on target...... In good conscience, that kid is really talented. ”
It's rare for Beiwei to have such a high opinion of his trainees, but considering his position in history, it's not surprising that he has this ability. Wu Sangui himself was also very satisfied with his results, and at his request, he took away the humanoid target used in practice, which was regarded as a souvenir.
During the day, in addition to Wu Sangui's generous request for a test firing of the Qionghai gun, there was also a military general who claimed to be from the Shenji Battalion in the capital who also came to ask for a test firing after him, and was satisfied.
The Shenji Battalion is a unit specializing in firearms among the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, and it is extremely interested in the advanced firearms of the Qiong Navy. However, compared to the excellent talent of the future King of Pingxi of the Great Qing Dynasty, the appearance of this Shenji Battalion officer is much worse. Perhaps it was because the Ming army used too many rotten guns in the past, and he developed a bad habit - he didn't dare to get close to his face when aiming, saying that he was afraid of hurting his eyes.
So after several rounds of fighting, the results were not good, and this guy was much more interested in the rifle and the bullet itself than the shooting essentials, first proposed to "borrow" the rifle back to see, and then wanted to hide a few bullets after being refused, and finally Hu Kai was impatient and drove the person away.
After that, a few more wanted to try, but all of them were rejected by this side on the grounds of "influencing training" - one or two people to promote it was enough, too much was not necessary. Anyway, their Qiong Navy gives the impression that they are very domineering, and they don't need to lower their stature for these people.
After this live-fire training, the attitude of the various units of the Ming army towards the Qiongzhou army has changed greatly, and most of them originally had the intention of watching jokes, but at this time they had to be cautious -- seeing is believing, and many people did not remember that this army had swept away tens of thousands of rebels with only 2,000 men and was able to take Dengzhou Jiancheng in one day -- the combat effectiveness behind this made them shudder.
Among them, the mentality of the Guanning Army in eastern Liaodong is the most complicated -- the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen were originally recognized as the most effective troops among all the counterinsurgency troops in Shandong this time, and they themselves felt that it was not difficult to send troops to quell the rebellion this time, and they could just grab more combat merits and make up for the punishment they had received for the defeat in the Battle of Daling River some time ago.
I didn't expect to kill a Qiongzhou army halfway, this team that is said to be turned from a thief to a regular is extremely unethical in the rivers and lakes, and when it comes up, it monopolizes the merit of recovering Dengzhou, not to mention, even the meat of Huangxian County refuses to let go, if it weren't for the Guanning army and horses to catch up with the tail of a decisive battle, maybe the short-haired army alone will wipe out the rebels - from the perspective of their combat effectiveness, these people can definitely do it.
The Liaodong Army is naturally extremely unhappy with this, they can't do anything outside the customs but the Manchurian Tartars, how can they have suffered such a sullen loss since entering the customs? According to the usual habits, you must go to knock it, and if you are welcome, even if it is fire, what can it be?
It's a pity that when they encounter that group of people who are more ferocious than them, they just rush and scare them, and the other side actually dares to fire directly -- they are more afraid of fire than them and realize this before the Liaodong Army has to calm down -- the so-called arrogant and unreasonable people are often better at judging the situation because they provoke more trouble, and naturally they encounter more opponents, if they don't know how to advance and retreat, choose the object of good prestige, and just blindly rampage, this kind of person will sooner or later provoke a real strong beam, and it will not be long arrogant.
Is this Joan Navy a bluff or the kind of real strong beam that can't be provoked? There was a fierce debate among the generals in Liaozhen about this, and most of the generals who came later thought that these green skins were nothing big at first, and the reason was very real: why did the short hair really be so strong, why did they still accept the Ming Zhao'an? It must not be able to defeat the southern official army to recruit An, and even the southern official army can't beat it, so it will definitely not be able to defeat our Liaodong Army - I didn't say it, **
Only the little general Wu Sangui strongly opposed this, thinking that the gang of green skins was not easy to mess with, although there were only a few small contacts, it was certain that this army was by no means able to be contained by those garbage officers and troops in the south. Although it is still not understandable why they voluntarily accepted the recruitment of the Ming Dynasty and came all the way here to work for the imperial court, this is a force that cannot be provoked, and it is certainly true.
Since Wu Sangui's views are more from his own intuition, he is not very convincing. The reason why the generals gave him face was more to see the forces behind this little Wu general -- among the highest-ranking generals in the Liaodong Army, Wu Xiang, the acting chief soldier, was his father, and the first fierce general, Zu Dabi, was his second uncle, and these two people attached great importance to the young Wu Sangui, and they had always obeyed his words and unconditionally supported them.
This kind of support played a very big role when the grain transportation team of the Qiongzhou army passed in front of their Liao army camp - with the arrogance of the Guanning army, when did you see so many supplies passing in front of you, and still not reach out? It doesn't matter who you are, the uncles used it and said it's a big deal to go to the camp to fight a lip-and-mouth lawsuit - many Liaodong generals gathered their personal guards at that time, put on their helmets and armor, and were ready to rush out, at least half of them were intercepted
As for the hundreds of musketeers on the other side, it was a joke in their eyes - how dare they simply use the musketeers to form an army? Not even a spearman is worthy, the cavalry eats him at most one round, and then he will inevitably scatter in a rush and slaughter wantonly, not to mention that the gang may not dare to open fire......
These generals thought very well, but they were stopped by Wu Sangui at the gate of the camp, just him, no matter how much this kid is valued, he is only a junior after all, but there is also the taciturn but extremely authoritative Zu Dabi next to him, who is also in the way, and no one dares to cross him.
In the face of the indignant Guan Ning generals, the young General Wu Xiao blushed and repeatedly explained:
"Uncles, please don't have any luck ideas, if you dare to go out, they will dare to hold the fire, and, in the opinion of the little nephew, I am afraid that at least half of our side will die before they may rush in front of them"
Guan Ning's generals were in an uproar, angry at Xiao Wu's timidity, and only because the other party's backstage was too hard, so they had to dissipate their indignation. For a period of time, the attitude towards the Wu family and his son was obviously cold - until after the day of shooting practice.
Of course, Wu Sangui didn't want to take the target for shooting for any purpose - as soon as he went back, he threw the thick pine plank in front of several generals who had made the most noise before:
"This is the first time I've touched their firearms, and the result is only after three or four test shots, or two hundred steps away, you uncles might as well take a closer look to see if our mountain pattern armor can stop it."
Many of the generals immediately hugged their fists and thanked General Xiao Wu for saving their lives. In fact, Wu Sangui's judgment that day was still too optimistic, judging from the degree to which the soldiers of the Qiongzhou Army practiced fashion filling and shooting today, even if they were pressed by the whole army that day, it would be impossible to rush to the front of the other party.
It was only at this time that they were finally able to understand the strange scene that the forward troops saw when they first encountered the Qiongzhou army -- only five or six hundred people dared to fight out of the defensive position, and took the initiative to chase the butts of tens of thousands of people, and the rebels also retreated step by step with extreme "cooperation", and now they think that if they change the position of the rebels, most of them will end up in the same situation, even if they are all replaced by cavalry, it is useless - the cavalry plus the dash is only the last distance, and the usual action is mainly small steps, while the opponent's fire gun can start fighting from 400 paces away, Not to mention the high power of the quasi-head, it was enough to make anyone who still had the illusion of "eat him for a round and rush up while they reloaded" to despair.
The Liaodong Army was outstanding for its cavalry, but they were equipped with a lot of firearms, and the former commander Sun Chengzong's attention to firearms was regarded as the number one in the Ming Dynasty at that time. Even the cavalry in the Guanning army were equipped with three-eyed guns, and when they encountered the enemy, they often used firearms to launch the first round of attacks. In the infantry, from far to near, they are used: artillery, crossbows and rockets, and firearms to form a multi-level long-range projection fire, and close combat is not considered until the end.
It should be said that the operational theory is relatively advanced, but in practical application, due to the design and quality problems of the Ming army's firearms, these long-range firepower often cannot play its due role, but on the contrary, self-explosion and accidental injury have occurred repeatedly. On the other hand, because of the excessive emphasis on long-range lethality in military training, it also leads soldiers to have a general fear of hand-to-hand combat, and once a long-range attack fails to work, and the opponent is close to them, they will feel that the general trend has gone, and their morale will be greatly weakened, and they will collapse for thousands of miles.
The so-called theory divorced from practice is like this: at this time, the Ming army had realized the limitations of cold weapon warfare and the inevitability of the arrival of the firearms age, but the level of firearms they used was not enough to support their combat theory, and the result was that they did not fall at both ends.
If there is enough time or a relatively stable environment, they may be able to gradually improve their equipment production level, but natural disasters and droughts, displaced people and thieves, and the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty between the white mountains and black waters...... Many troubles have arisen one after another, and the last vestige of the regime's national strength has been squeezed out in turn, and it has no chance to turn over.
Alas, why is it always a little bit worse?
