Chapter 61: Three Strikes
Finally comforting Chen Jiaojiao and calming her mind, Shen Lang took Luo Lina to the Black Python Guard military camp to check how well they trained.
The barracks are at the foot of the high mountain in the middle of Palembang, occupying a very wide area, rows of newly repaired barracks are neatly arranged, the sword and black dragon flag fluttering at the entrance of the barracks, and there are two guards on duty at the door, when they see Shen Lang coming, their waists are straighter, even if Lorina is very beautiful, they don't dare to take a look.
There was the sound of drills in the barracks, and the sound of muskets hitting targets.
The commander of the big black son had already learned that Shen Hou Ye was coming, so he hurriedly dropped the things in his hand and walked quickly to the door with a few hundred households.
"Hello Hou Ye, I haven't seen Hou Ye for more than half a month, I really miss it, my brothers are looking forward to your guidance. Da Kuroko smiled innocently and glanced at Lorina, his black face was a little red.
"Da Heizi, you have worked hard, how was your training during this time?" Shen Lang smiled.
"Everything is going according to the arrangement of the Hou Ye, and the brothers are in a passionate state now, and they all want to kill the enemy. ”
"Yes, we have to go to the battlefield and make war exploits for Hou Ye. A hundred households said loudly.
"Brothers, if you want to make meritorious contributions, you will have to have an opportunity, and you will have to fight a big battle in the future, and I expect that there is a very good chance that there will be a big battle at the end of the year. Shen Lang said.
"Great, just waiting for this day. Several other hundred households are also gearing up and eager to try.
"Let's go, let's see how those brothers are practicing?" Shen Lang let the big black man lead the way and walked towards the training ground.
In the morning, there was a shooting practice, every 100 people stood in a row, shooting at the target in the distance, 100 people loaded ammunition together, picked up the musket, aimed and shot, after the loud crackling sound, a burst of gunsmoke filled, under the ditch at the target, there was a special person responsible for counting the target, who shot, who did not shoot.
Then another 100 people went on the field to train, and those who had trained before stepped aside to continue to reload buckshot.
The atmosphere of the entire shooting range was extremely hot, and there were bursts of gunpowder smoke in the air, and there was a few smells of the battlefield.
Shen Lang saw something wrong, with a hundred people shooting, can only deal with a small group of enemy troops, if there are thousands of enemy troops, this kind of shooting can not block the impact of the enemy, especially in the face of cavalry troops, when you finish shooting in one round, the pause time in the middle, the cavalry can rush up to slaughter, even if there is a super defensive armor, it can't block the impact of the war horse.
Shen Lang's goal is that even if the Black Python Guard has a thousand people, it can block the attack of tens of thousands or 100,000 enemy troops, so the shooting method just now cannot defend against large-scale enemy troops, especially cavalry.
After all, it is from the later generations, and I know a little about the ancient battles, those excellent commanders once invented the three-stage combat method, dividing the troops into three teams, arranging them in order from the front, middle and back, the first team shoots first, and squats down to load ammunition immediately after shooting, it takes time to load ammunition, and it takes three seconds for a well-trained person to reload, and it takes five or six seconds for those who are slow to do so, and a second on the battlefield can determine the outcome of the war, then, the time for loading ammunition must be shortened, and this time is best to wait until the rear team finishes shooting, and you can stand up and shoot immediately, so that you can continuously attack the enemy, even if it is in the face of tens of thousands of troops, which can also cause great damage to enemy troops.
Then learn and put it into practice, Shen Lang gathered several leaders together, gave them his training method, and then trained according to the training method of three-stage strike.
One thousand black python guards are divided into three teams, three hundred in the front team, four hundred in the middle team, and three hundred people in the rear team, each team appoints a deputy commander to shoot according to the instructions of the deputy commander, and the team of one thousand people is neatly lined up, all loaded with ammunition, the first row shoots first, and three hundred people hold muskets, waiting for the deputy commander to give an order.
Ready! Shooting! A deafening sound of gunfire rang out, and the platoon fired past, and if there were enemy troops in front, they would not aim much, and a large area would fall, and the front team would crouch down to reload ammunition as soon as they finished firing their guns.
Next came the squadron, which numbered more than a hundred, and was even more imposing, and the targets were all pierced, and they were covered with dense bullet holes.
Then there is the rear team, and the same is true, and by the time they finish shooting, the front team is almost completely reloaded.
Then there was another round of fierce shooting, this kind of momentum stunned the big black and other commanders, they didn't expect such a simple combination to produce such a great power, and they couldn't help but look up to Shen Houye again.
"Why can't I think of it? Or Hou Ye has a way, at a glance, he knows that he has read military books, which is like me and other rude people. The big black man slapped the big black head and smiled innocently.
"I also saw it from books, not to think of it as a self-drum, you will have to go through the training of the academy in the future, read a few more books, and fight a war depends on your brains. Shen Lang patted Da Heizi's broad back and said.
Yi Feng on the side kept Shen Lang's words in his heart, fighting a war is to be brave and strategic, knowing oneself and knowing the other can not be defeated in a hundred battles, it seems that he has to learn more from Shen Hou Ye, be his student, and make great achievements for Hou Ye in the future.
"Did you find a problem?" Shen Lang asked, examining his soldiers.
"It's already powerful, several times stronger than our previous training. Da Heizi wondered, what is the problem with this, no matter how many people he comes, how can the enemy soldiers not fall to the ground with a fierce shot.
"Master Hou, I observed a little. Yi Feng said excitedly.
Shen Lang gave him an encouraging look.
The three deputy commanders and the ten hundred households are a little jealous, this kid is the identity of the general banner, what qualifications do they have to say, but with Shen Lang by his side, they don't dare to attack, this kid, he can!
"Master Hou, that's right, I found that there was a short pause of a few seconds between each team, and I think that if the enemy's cavalry rushed over, these few seconds could break down our array. Yi Feng told what he had found.
As soon as the others heard it, it was such a reason, how fast the speed of the cavalry was, and they could rush up in a few seconds, so what advantage did the musketeers who could not form an array have, and they could not form concentrated firepower, everyone thought of this, and couldn't help but have a little change in their views on this kid, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and only the generals who can capture the changes in the battlefield can lead the soldiers to win the battle, and they regretted that they didn't think of such a simple question, only when others raised it, they suddenly realized.
"You're right. Shen Lang encouraged, "So how to solve this problem?"
"I think that's the case, getting each team to reload a second or two faster is enough to make up for this shortcoming. Yi Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of intelligence, this kid is still very capable of pondering, and is good at finding details that others can't see, or even ignore.
"Very good, you will assist the Great Black Commander in the future and help him increase the speed of this reload. Shen Lang smiled.
As soon as the others heard it, this was clearly a promotion to Yi Feng, this kid was a small general banner, and suddenly became a senior general second only to the commander, it is estimated that this guy will climb faster in the future, but fortunately he did not offend him.
Yi Feng was also excited, and his few words made Shen Hou Ye appreciate him so much, "Hou Ye, I, I'm still young, I have to train hard." ”
"Ambition is not old, although you are young, but with this knowledge, it proves that you are not a mediocre person, do it well. After Shen Lang finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
"Master Hou, do you want to watch other training programs?" Da Heizi proposed.
"No, in a month and a half, I will let you go back to Butterfly Island, and then there will be a surprise for you, and you must show me what you have learned, that is, to give the residents of Butterfly Island a chance to open their eyes, we will have a big martial arts. Shen Lang smiled.
"That's a good day for us to show our faces, Master Hou, we must train hard and not be afraid of hard work!" The big black man was also excited, and the other deputy commanders and hundred households were also excited.
"Yes, when the time comes, you have to show your demeanor in the best possible way. After Shen Lang finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Yi Feng's face.
This kid looks a little more handsome than me, and his brain is about to catch up with me, and he will be trained as a key talent in the future.
