Chapter 1278: Drill

Rumble!

The mountains and forests have been covered with ice and snow, but one of the places is a large clearing that has been cleared, at this moment, on one side of the clearing, there are dozens of rows of wooden people made of dead grass, wood, and vines, the number is nearly 10,000, at a glance, there is no end in sight.

On the other side, there was a group of sturdy armorers, who were not wearing iron armor, but lighter leather armor, but in the leather armor, there was a layer of iron wire woven iron net, covering key places to protect the vital points.

These men, all of them at the moment, were armed with arm-length muskets, and the muzzles of these muskets were also loaded with blades, which were used to facilitate white-knuckle combat when the bullets ran out, or when the enemy was in close combat.

In addition, the most attention-grabbing thing about these armor soldiers is the bullet belt that hangs on their bodies.

Two thousand people, at this moment arranged in three rows, of which the first row knelt on the ground, the second row bent over, and the third row stood upright, forming a drop, such a formation directly achieved full coverage of high, medium and low, and two thousand guns fired at the same time.

And a magazine with 30 bullets can shoot 60,000 rounds in a very short time.

In this era, 60,000 rounds of bullets are fired, which is simply a blood-colored storm that harvests life, and no matter how elite the army is, every face has to be beaten and discarded armor, and there is no will to fight.

The so-called personal bravery, courage, faith, and determination are simply vulnerable in the face of an absolute iron storm.

"Kill!"

Zhao Cheng's former personal soldiers, and now Han Qing, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Battalion, drank violently at this moment.

With the sound of concussions, two thousand people immediately opened fire at the same time, and in a few seconds, all of them fired five shots in a row before stopping.

And with the smoke and fire, as well as the explosion of bullets, among the smoke, tens of thousands of straw men, more than ten rows in the front, were all shattered, and the back was also a lot of mutilation.

"Kill!"

Seeing this scene, Han Qing ordered again.

Immediately, it was another round of five consecutive shots.

In this way, until the fourth round, all the straw figures hundreds of meters away were shattered, and half of them could no longer be found to stand upright.

Not far away, on the high platform built of wood, Zhao Cheng looked at this scene with a normal expression, but the few people who followed him were all shocked.

At this point in time, Lin Yi was ordered to defend the city, and the few people who followed Zhao Cheng were all Wenchen under his command.

Wenchen has a lot of eyes, if you don't show them your strength, after a long time, this group of smart people will inevitably think a lot, if they accidentally do something to cross the line, Zhao Cheng can only kill him.

It was because in order to prevent this kind of thing, it was because of this acting.

Because of the limited ammunition and the wear and tear of the firearms, there were few live ammunition in the previous training, but at the beginning, it was two thousand armor soldiers, holding a model carved out of stone, adapting to the weight, and arranging into a formation, pretending to shoot, so as to familiarize themselves with the process.

In addition to shooting training, there are also various trainings such as attacking, retreating, pursuing, and changing formations, and this kind of training began as early as March this year, and until September, a full six months, these two thousand armor soldiers lived together, practiced day and night, and only then did they hone their tacit understanding and adapt to the weapon model in their hands.

Until this time, the two thousand people were divided into arrays and took turns to do live-fire training with real guns.

At that time, the number of guns was not enough, and it could only be so.

It wasn't until half a month ago that more than a dozen Taoists worked overtime, and the techniques of Taoists and craftsmen became more and more proficient, that they finally scraped together enough 2,000 guns.

As for the bullets, the accumulation of a year has also produced nearly 200,000 bullets, which are distributed to each person, that is, 100 per person.

As for acting, there is some consumption, and the current stock of bullets is about 150,000.

However, this amount is completely sufficient.

In this era, even elite soldiers, once the battle loss exceeds 10%, there is a possibility of collapse, and when faced with the mysterious unknown weapon of mass killing, the soldier's emotional threshold is lower.

Behind Zhao Cheng, Li Tonghai, the current head of Wenchen, saw such a divine soldier at this moment, and the only thought in his heart was that the world was decided.

I finally figured out why this camp is called Taiping Camp, not for the sake of peace in the world, but as soon as this camp comes out, the world will be peaceful.

What dignity and arrogance are, in the face of the torrent of steel, are as fragile as paper.

"Gongsun Jin!"

On the high platform, Zhao Cheng suddenly shouted.

"Mark it in!"

Immediately, Zhao Cheng was a little behind, and among the several pro-soldiers who were standing, one of them immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Pass my military order, the whole army will repair for half an hour, and then drive back to the city!"

"No!"

……

Outside Wucheng, fifteen miles away from Wucheng, there are 200,000 troops stationed here, if there is a Taoist who is good at looking at qi, looking at it with the eyes of the law, you can see that above the military camp, the tiger is standing on the dragon plate, and the evil spirit is rolling, and it is simply soaring into the sky.

Compared with Shenzhou, the Southern Wilderness is a bitter cold place, but the poorer the place, the more fierce the army, there is no doubt about this.

Throughout the ages, wherever a rich place, or a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, or a land of fish and rice, the richer it is, the more difficult it is to have a strong army.

On the other hand, those poor mountains and bad waters, on the contrary, powerful troops have been born repeatedly.

The current 200,000 troops of the three families in the Southern Wilderness are like this, Wu Qi has tiger and leopard riding, the Feng family also has a wolf ride, and the Chen family also has a black evil ride, but these three horses, the special troops of the Feng and Chen families, are just a cut worse than Wu Qi's.

However, relatively speaking, the overall quality of the army in the Southern Wilderness is far superior to that of the Central Plains.

At this moment, in the big tent in the center of the camp, the generals in the army gathered together to drink.

At the top of them, there are three tables side by side, but now, one is empty, Wu Qi is seriously ill, and now he is recuperating.

And the remaining two positions, one is sitting with Feng Bao of the Feng family, and the other is Chen Qing of the Chen family.

These two people, both in their early thirties, are at the peak of their lives.

Further down, there are the generals of the three families, and from the seats, as well as many details, it can be clearly seen that the generals of the Wu Qi family are not taken seriously.

However, this is also normal, and now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wu Qi only wants revenge, and no longer wants anything else.

The generals under Wu Qi's command have also taken advantage of this time to either surrender to Feng Bao or surrender to Chen Qing.

Wu Qi naturally knew about this matter, or rather, when he made this decision, he knew that this kind of thing would happen.

After all, these generals under him also have small families and family businesses, if he Wu Qi can give everyone hope, all the soldiers will naturally be loyal, but in this situation, if they don't look for a way out, it will really be foolish and loyal.

And when the wine was full, Feng Bao suddenly laughed.
