Hearing this, Sun Chengzong's re-understanding of the Tiger and Leopard Army can no longer be described by the words 'impressive'.

Because, the shock brought by the Haw Par Army in front of him is too much.

All kinds of shocks one after another, and I didn't even have time to digest them.

Therefore, after listening to what Staff Officer Zhou said, Sun Chengzong, who was already a little accustomed to this kind of shock, only changed his solemn face, and asked, "There are more powerful firearms...... Now it seems that this official is going to come here today to have a good eye-opener......"

"Tell me, what kind of powerful firearms can destroy so many Mongolian iron cavalry on the field battlefield, and even the Houjin warrior Dolgon died in your hands."

Staff Officer Zhou did not answer directly, but whispered a few words to the subordinates behind him.

In the end, he replied to Sun Chengzong: "My lord, the specific power of these two firearms, the lower officials can't say clearly. Xia Guan has already asked people to perform in front of you. Only by seeing it with one's own eyes can one truly feel the enormous power of these two firearms. ”

As he spoke, ten musketeers had already stepped forward.

At the same time, dozens of straw men, also in the unique offensive formation of the Ming army, stood in a position of thirty paces in front of the ten musketeers.

Under Sun Chengzong's gaze, the ten musketeers suddenly took out a black iron ball with a wooden handle from the bag on their waists.

After holding the iron ball with the wooden handle in your hand, take out the fire fold and light the fire rope from the end of the wooden handle.

As a puff of white smoke began to rise from the end of the iron ball, the ten musketeers flicked their arms as if they had agreed. Throw the ball of iron that has emitted white smoke at the straw man.

After the iron ball made a beautiful arc in the air. Firmly in the middle of the straw men.

Just when Sun Chengzong's face slowly showed a puzzled expression. A series of deafening explosions suddenly reached Sun Chengzong's ears, startling Sun Chengzong, who was not prepared at all.

Under Sun Chengzong's stunned gaze, ten fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke, along with the sound of explosions, rose from the ground, covering the straw men scattered in the area where the iron balls landed.

As the smoke slowly cleared, the situation in the explosion area was grim. appeared in front of Sun Chengzong.

Dozens of densely packed straw men were all knocked to the ground in the explosion just now.

Not only that, but more than half of the straw men have been blown to shreds. As for the intact straw men, they are not much better. Because, Sun Chengzong found a few fragments of grenades that were still steaming from each straw man.

If it is not a straw man standing here, it is the Ming official army. The grenades thrown out by the Haw Par Army were not ten, but thousands. What kind of tragic scene will there be on the battlefield......

Sun Chengzong didn't dare to imagine it, and he didn't dare to assume it......

That's when it happened. Staff Officer Zhou, who was standing beside him, reminded him very timely.

Master Sun, this is a new type of firearm built by our Haw Par Army itself, and we call it a 'wooden-handled grenade'......

After testing, the radius of destruction of this grenade was one zhang. In other words, enemies within a radius of the grenade landing point are all within the grenade's killing range and can be killed.

At present, this grenade has been massively deployed in the Haw Par Army and all local garrisons......

According to the commander's requirements, after the formation is completed, each musketeer must carry at least three grenades......

As soon as Staff Officer Zhou finished introducing the grenade, a sound of hurried footsteps had already reached Staff Officer Zhou's ears.

Looking in the direction from which the footsteps came, dozens of artillery officers and men carrying mortar assemblies and shells were forming a formation and slowly trotting towards their positions.

Seeing this, Staff Officer Zhou didn't care whether Sun Chengzong was stunned by the introduction he had just made. Pointing directly at the artillery platoon that was getting closer and closer to him, he continued to introduce.

"Lord Sun, those dozens of brothers are the artillery platoons under each musket battalion of the Haw Par Army."

"In the Haw Par Army, each artillery platoon is equipped with three light mortars that we have researched and built ourselves."

"Next, let Master Sun see the power of this light mortar."

When Sun Chengzong looked in the direction of Staff Officer Zhou's finger, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Sun Chengzong was a person who had served as an overseer and commanded the Ming border army, and he was very aware of the various artillery pieces equipped by the Ming army.

In Sun Chengzong's eyes, it is the lightest tiger cannon equipped by the official army, and it needs to be carried by two people on the battlefield before it can go. And the kind of artillery equipped by the Tiger and Leopard Army in front of him can actually make people run away with it...... This picture directly tells Sun Chengzong that the artillery equipped by the Haw Par Army is very light and very easy to transfer.

Dozens of gunners carrying artillery and shells, no matter what Sun Chengzong thinks.

As soon as he rushed to a position twenty steps away from Sun Chengzong, he stopped and began to skillfully set up the cannon.

And their next artillery process was once again unexpected by Sun Chengzong.

Dozens of gunners, who did not carry out the excavation of the gun emplacements in their own imagination. Instead, with a bunch of mortar assemblies that they had never seen before, they assembled artillery on flat ground.

In just the blink of an eye, a mortar that was completely different from the artillery he had seen, supported by a tripod and holding high the muzzle of the black hole, appeared in front of Sun Chengzong.

Seeing this, Sun Chengzong was shocked by the very light weight and peculiar shape of the mortar, but also at the speed of assembly and preparation of this artillery.

In Sun Chengzong's cognition, the lightest Huzun cannon needs at least one tea effort to be assembled and ready to be fired. If it is the more powerful Franc machine and Hongyi cannon, it must not be put into battle without half an hour.

And what about the kind of artillery in front of him, in the blink of an eye, three guns were assembled.

On the real battlefield, time is of the essence, victory or defeat...... Although it is not clear the specific power of this artillery, his preparation time has already overwhelmed all the artillery equipped by the imperial court.

If the Haw Par Army really turns against the imperial court in the future, on the battlefield where the two armies meet, the artillery of the official army has not yet been erected. The artillery of the Haw Par Army is combat-ready. Begin to fire shells at yourself.

Faced with this result. Sun Chengzong's face directly showed a dead expression.

However, dozens of gunners gathered around the mortar, regardless of what Sun Chengzong thought.

The mortar had just been assumed, and three fixed-loading flowering shells were stuffed into the chamber from the muzzle under the gaze of Sun Chengzong.

Insert the arquebus from the tail of the barrel and light it with a torch......

After a series of very skillful movements were completed, three dull roars. It reached Sun Chengzong's ears.

Afterwards, Sun Chengzong saw the muzzle of the mortar black hole, and three fiery red flames mixed with a large amount of black smoke were sprayed outward.

As for the three flowering bullets wrapped in flames, they flew into the sky with a whistling sound.

Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, it roared towards the straw man more than a hundred steps away.

Like the grenade that had just exploded, the black cannonball had just crossed the sky and landed on the ground, and three more violent explosions reached Sun Chengzong's ears.

Three clusters of orange-red flames rose into the air. Centered on the impact point of the flowering bullet, it quickly spreads around. Shrouds the scattered straw men.

"Flowering shells, such a small cannon can actually fire flowering shells, and one shot can hit the target..."Seeing this, Sun Chengzong, who was shocked again, couldn't help but let out a heartfelt exclamation.

And just before he could react from the shock. The second fixed-loading flowering shell has already been loaded into the barrel by the gunner.

Insert the arquebus, light the arquebus with a torch....

Subsequently, the second round of dull shelling reached Sun Chengzong's ears.

In the blink of an eye, the three cannonballs that drew a beautiful arc in the air immediately followed by the dense grass men and exploded......

Round after round...

When Sun Chengzong really reacted from the shock and walked quickly to the artillery position.

Three mortars have already fired twelve flowering shells at targets more than a hundred paces away.

After carefully looking at the mortars in front of him, Sun Chengzong immediately focused his eyes on the platoon commander who commanded the three mortars, and asked the platoon commander.

"This brother, this museum wants to know the specific power of this artillery..."

At the signal of Staff Officer Zhou, the platoon commander only spoke after a short period of contemplation: "My lord, at this time, my Tiger and Leopard Army is equipped with a light mortar at the battalion level, and the effective range is fifty to one hundred and fifty steps..."

"Because of the use of flowering shells, the effective killing radius of this mortar is five in one battle ..."

"Coupled with the fact that mortars use fixed-loading flowering shells, and the time it takes for ordinary artillery to shoot one shell, this light mortar we are equipped with can shoot two lead bullets..."

Sun Chengzong nodded, and asked thoughtfully: "Light mortars, that is to say, in addition to the artillery in front of you, you also have heavy mortars..."

"Yes, sir," the platoon leader affirmed.

"In our Haw Par Army, the battalion is equipped with a platoon of light mortars, three light mortars ... The regiment is armed with a medium mortar team, nine medium mortars ... The division was armed with a battalion of heavy mortars, twenty-seven heavy mortars. ”

"Medium mortars have a range of between 100 and 300 paces, and the effective radius of destruction of flowering shells is two battles. The range of heavy mortars is between 250 and 500 steps, and the effective killing radius of flowering shells is 3 zhang ......"

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong was already speechless because of shock.

As a former battlefield veteran, Sun Chengzong has never seen the Haw Par Army fight. However, Tong Guò's knowledge of these weapons, a tactical method of warfare that he had never been exposed to, had already appeared in his mind......

When the enemy launched an attack on the Tiger and Leopard Army, when it was far away, it was blown up with flowering bombs... Get a little closer, shoot with a flintlock musket... Closer, blow up with a grenade ...

In the face of this steady stream of blows, Sun Chengzong can say with certainty that no matter how fierce the enemy is, he will not be able to hold out, not to mention that the combat courage is completely inferior to that of the Tartars' officers and soldiers.

At this moment, Sun Chengzong had already had an idea in his heart, the current Tiger and Leopard Army had risen, and with the existing strength of the imperial court, even if the strength of the whole country was gathered, it would be impossible to exterminate it. (To be continued......)
