"Class mode? What the hell is this? Hong Tiancheng asked about the all-out war system in a bit of a daze.

[The promotion of a seasoned Taiping sergeant to a senior sergeant of the Taiping Army is a qualitative leap, so the all-out war system will provide two directions of promotion.

1. Enhancement of cold weapons: After being promoted, the experienced Taiping soldiers will comprehensively strengthen their hand-to-hand combat ability, and they will be proficient in the use of most commonly used cold weapons, and their personal hand-to-hand combat ability will be greatly improved, reaching the level of professional soldiers.

At the same time, the Taiping soldiers will be covered with full-body chain mail and iron helmets, and lined with leather armor, becoming de facto double-armored hand-to-hand fighters, in terms of weapons, they will have iron infantry with super long guns, skilled in forming a super long spear phalanx to fight, the secondary weapon is a stainless steel Taiping army waist knife, the back will be with a round iron shield, the array can be used as pikemen, melee can be transformed into sword and shield soldiers for jumping combat, belongs to the real main force of hand-to-hand combat!

2. Strengthening the direction of firearms: After being promoted, the experienced Taiping soldiers will be proficient in the operation of arquebuses and smoothbore guns, and have experienced basic firearms shooting training, and their personal hand-to-hand combat ability will be slightly improved, reaching the level of ordinary hand-to-hand combatants.

At the same time, each Taiping sergeant was given a delicate mature arquebus, along with a matching arquebus and 100 pieces of ammunition, and wore light iron-inlaid armor with a Taiping two-handed broadsword as a melee combat weapon.

Excuse me, which promotion direction do you choose? 】

"Oh? The promotion in these two directions is not bad, but although the armor of cold weapons is good, it will be the world of firearms in the future, and it is better to choose the direction of musket strengthening, by the way, if I choose the direction of musket strengthening to be promoted to the senior soldier of the Taiping Army, and then when the elite soldiers of the Taiping Army are promoted, can I still choose the direction of cold weapon strengthening? ”

[Of course not, the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army who choose the direction of firearm enhancement can only be promoted to the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, and the senior soldiers of the Taiping Army who choose the direction of cold weapon enhancement can only be promoted to the elite soldiers of the Taiping Army. 】

"That's right...... Well, I've chosen the direction of firearms! Hong Tiancheng ordered the all-out war system in a firm tone.

In the previous battle, he had witnessed the power of the arquebus, who was hit and who fell to the ground, and no immortal Xiaoqiang could get up again under the direct fire of the musket, much stronger than a bow and crossbow.

After Hong Tiancheng confirmed the order, 40 veteran Taiping sergeants who had already assembled turned into a group of soldiers carrying arquebuses on their shoulders, wrapped around slender arquebuses and small gunpowder barrels, wearing the standard of the Taiping Army inlaid with iron armor, and next to the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army, there were wooden barrels containing lead bullets and black powder, and the black powder in them were all small packets wrapped in oilskin, a small bag was the amount of black powder that needed to be loaded for a launch, and the lead bullets were round projectiles suitable for the caliber of the arquebus, pick it up and use it.

100 pieces of arquebus ammunition per person, 40 people is 4,000 copies, and there is naturally not so much space on the body of the person to place so many copies of ammunition, in fact, each senior musketeer of the Taiping Army only has a dozen gunpowder cylinders and projectiles hanging on his body, and the rest are placed in large wooden barrels for use.

With the firing speed of the arquebus, a dozen ammunition is more than enough for a battle, and it is impossible to shoot at all, because the enemy will not stupidly stand in the effective range of the arquebus and let you shoot for more than ten minutes......

Even if there really is that kind of brain-dead enemy, after being shot for more than ten minutes, he will already suffer heavy casualties and disintegrate!

On average, an arquebus can only shoot a round a minute, which is still a reload speed that a skilled arquebusier can only achieve in non-combat periods, and it is normal for an ordinary arquebusier to shoot a round in two or three minutes on the battlefield.

Of course, there are also firearms in this era with a more pitted rate of fire than arquebuses, that is, front-loading rifled guns, skilled front-loading rifled gun soldiers need at least two minutes to reload, and ordinary front-loading rifled gun soldiers need to reload for 5 minutes before firing a shot!

Therefore, even if the front-loading rifled gun is accurate and far, the armies of various countries are still reluctant to equip this weapon, and five minutes is enough time for the opposite flintlock and even the arquebusier to walk in front of them and beat their own soldiers into a sieve......

However, the most majestic thing about this group of senior musketeers of the Taiping Army is not the arquebus they carry, but the two-handed machete of the Taiping Army that is stuck obliquely on their backs higher than a person!

This thing is not to mention cutting people, the length of more than 2 meters is enough even to split a horse......

"It seems that the slow rate of fire of the arquebus is destined for this class of troops to face hand-to-hand combat, and the melee weapons configured are so coquettish......" Hong Tiancheng looked at the long-handled machete with both hands pointing obliquely at the sky behind the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army, and couldn't help but sigh.

In addition to the weapons and armor on their bodies, the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army were equivalent to the original veteran Taiping soldiers and infantry shoes, and they wore a red Taiping Army headscarf around their heads, which was quite reckless.

Compared with the newly recruited soldiers of the Taiping Army who relied on captured arquebuses, the difference between the regular army and the militia can be seen at a glance, and the only thing that is the same is the fanaticism of religious piety.

Of course, it is impossible to get accurate data comparison just by looking, Hong Tiancheng next conducted a series of musket combat drills with the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army who were holding captured arquebuses.

Hong Tiancheng found that the veteran musketeers from the all-out war system can all reach the loading speed of skilled arquebusiers in the conventional sense, with one shot per minute during training, while the loading speed of the Taiping Army's new recruits is fast and slow, but the fastest is not as skilled as the Taiping Army's senior musketeers.

The arquebus reloading step seems to have been integrated into the instinct of the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army, and there is no delay in the middle of the process, and there will be no misloading.

However, the new recruits of the Taiping Army fiddled with arquebuses, just like ordinary people, and even in safe training, about 10% of the testers had serious loading errors!

It's not that the new recruits of the Taiping Army are not serious enough, it's that the loading steps of the arquebus are too cumbersome!

Even if it is roughly divided, the arquebus has more than 20 complicated loading steps, at this time, whether it is the captured arquebus or the arquebus belonging to the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army, they all belong to the mature arquebus in the later period, and the 'external equipment' such as the bracket has been canceled, which greatly reduces the operation steps of the arquebus firing, even so, the arquebusier who loads one bullet a minute can be regarded as quite proficient......
