Under the shouting of Nicholas, the soldiers of the training camp began to disperse outside in a group, and Yu Feng looked around, although the soldiers around him were all in the cheers just now, venting their joy, but everyone's eyebrows were full of smug excitement, as if they had achieved some great victory, and the pride was overflowing.

Almost a thousand people, dealing with more than a hundred Tartars, and paying dozens of casualties, in Yu Feng's opinion, this is really not a big victory, barely a miserable victory! Although he remembered that some people in later generations boasted about the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, what was "invincible", he still disagreed, "invincible"? In this era when there are no aircraft, missiles, and nuclear bombs, all the people are heaping you to death, what can such a little person do?

However, it is undeniable that in history, when the Manchus came to dominate the Central Plains, the population of their entire ethnic group, compared with the huge population of the Central Plains, is really a group that cannot be weaker, but it is such a group of people who have ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years, which makes people have to sigh. As strong as Yuanmeng, it is just a flash in the pan for a hundred years, compared with it, how lucky this Manchu Qing is.

Yu Feng actually didn't know, this record he didn't think of, at that time, it could really be regarded as a big victory, if this battle happened in Daming, these first-level dominoes were reported, and he was promoted to one level, it was absolutely no problem. Although one of the Tartars and the Woko is in the south and the other is in the north, endangering the Central Plains, a few days ago, he also competed with the Woko, but the gold content of the head of the Tartar is much higher than that of the Woko, and it is worth mentioning that this is still a newly established army, with the fire gun that the imperial army and soldiers are not looking down on, and has won the battlefield victory, not the well-known border town spirit riding horses, which does not make these soldiers raise their eyebrows.

He takes things for granted, but in the eyes of other people, it is really against the sky, and the Ming officers and soldiers with a large number of guns are no match for the Eight Banners Army, which is only equipped with cold weapons such as bows, sabers, guns, etc., it seems that in this era, no one will feel strange, it is normal to not win, and it is outrageous to win.

The Ming Dynasty's idea of emphasizing literature over military force, the obsolescence of the guard system, the low quality of soldiers, corruption, and so on were all the main factors that led to the army's weak combat effectiveness, the limited power of firearms could not make up for it, and it was difficult to defeat the Eight Banners Army after all. But in the final analysis, there is only one, this Ming firearms and firearms are still in the initial stage of firearms development, and there has never been a fully mature production and training combat system, which cannot completely replace cold weapons.

At that time, muskets were far inferior in performance and power to modern automatic rifles, and there was still a huge gap between them and the Mauser guns of the 19th century. For the Ming army, these muskets had no advantage in front of the bows and arrows of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Even after the ideas provided by Yu Feng and the painstaking refinement of craftsmen such as Bi Maokang, there is still a long way to go compared with the mature Mauser rifles of the 19th century. At this time, not to mention the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, even those formed musket teams in the West, may not be able to withstand the torrent of iron cavalry of the Manchu Eight Banners.

Not to mention that the firearms of the Ming officers and soldiers have not yet been fully equipped with arquebuses, even if it is the Shenji Battalion in the three major battalions, this is the firearms unit of the Ming Dynasty, but, in the Shenji Battalion, a large number of soldiers are still using extremely cumbersome three-eyed guns, Shenji, fast guns and even Yongle handguns, as far as the arquebus is concerned, that is, it is often said that the Ming people call the bird guns, and its weaknesses are very obvious. The best shotgun in the Ming Dynasty had a range of about 100 steps, and it could penetrate the iron shield and iron armor at a distance of dozens of steps, but the power was significantly weakened after more than 100 steps, and it was even less than the compound bow, and it could hardly cause damage. This is still the best, and the bad ones go without saying. And in this battle, Yu Feng saw that a team of Tartars he met casually used such a heavy bow, and the killing of this heavy bow was comparable to that of a compound bow.

During the Wanli period, the Ming army sent troops to North Korea, and firearms were miraculous, but who was the opponent at that time? That's all a wolf! Although this firearm is widely used in the Japanese army, the Japanese use a large number of arquebuses, that is, the fire guns they call iron cannons, as long-range weapons, mainly because the Japanese bow and arrow have a short range and low power, and their arrows, even if they shoot you like a peacock opening the screen, may not be able to die.

Coupled with the lack of iron in Japan, the soldiers had weak defenses and lacked heavy cavalry. Even if it is a very reliable arquebus, in their place, they are all praised as a magic weapon, the specific situation can refer to the movie "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", think about the expression of the little soldier Zhang Ga's wooden gun replaced by a real gun, it is estimated that the expression on the face of the Japanese when they found out that there was such a divine soldier was not much better than Gazi!

The situation in China is different, on the one hand, the Manchu Tartar soldiers are skilled in bows and horses, and their iron cavalry is better in terms of bow and arrow use, impact and armor, and the Ming army cannot hit all of them in a musket salvo, and the hits are often not fatal, but in exchange for several waves of dense arrow rain of the Eight Banners. It seems to be clear which is better and which is inferior.

Even if an infantry corps, all armed with arquebuses, was attacked by the Eight Banners cavalry in a field battle, its fate would be worrying. Even if this musket unit is well-disciplined and deploys the formation in time, but the arquebus range is only 100 meters, even if they have the support of the Fran cannon, then a large number of cavalry from a hundred meters away rushed to the front of the Ming army in just a few seconds, and how many times can the Ming army put a row of guns in these few seconds? Even if the Ming army was able to skillfully use tactics such as three-stage strikes, it would only fire one salvo, and before the second row of musketeers could step forward, the Eight Banners had already rushed in front of them, followed by a one-sided massacre. In this regard, it seems that the Ming army is good at defending the city, and the Manchurians are good at field warfare, and when the Ming officers and soldiers deal with the Tartars, they form the tactics of relying on the fortified city to resist, and if there is no accident to kill and not go out of the city to fight in the field, it seems that it is not difficult to understand.

In fact, the Tartar cavalry could fire arrows at half the distance and disrupt the Ming army's array.

Seeing the black and oppressive cavalry rushing towards them like a tide from a hundred meters away, the pressure and fear in the hearts of the musketeers was very great. In such cases, musketeers make frequent mistakes in the complicated handling of firearms. This is absolutely not speculation, in fact, before the enemy is within the range of the firearms in their hands, the musketeers because they can't control their nervousness and fear, hurriedly fire, turn around and run, the situation is commonplace in the Ming army with firearms. In this battle, Yu Feng called his own personal army team as a supervising team and stared at his own soldiers, which was also based on this consideration, it is said that Qi Jiguang did the same back then, and there was a knife standing behind each musketeer, if anyone couldn't hold down the position and shot indiscriminately, the knife behind him didn't know who you were, and he would cut it down directly.

The power of the musketeers lies in their fierce volleys and the orderly flow of fire, and the uniform movement of the soldiers is crucial. In the event of confusion, the scattered firing of the musketeers would have disastrous consequences for the entire army. These confusions were easy to ensu, and the poor quality of the Ming soldiers often broke up without firing a shot. Not to mention the uneven quality of the muskets made by the imperial court, the soldiers often did not dare to aim calmly because they were afraid of exploding, and they did not dare to put enough gunpowder, so the range and power of the muskets were greatly reduced. And these situations, among the soldiers of the aftermaze, basically do not appear.

The firearms and firearms produced by his firearms battalion, each of which has a number such as the Heavenly Stems and the Earth's Branch, if there is a problem, you can directly follow this number, and find the craftsmen who are mainly responsible for the production, Yu Feng let the words out, and if there is a good job, there will be a reward, if there is a problem, then he will be punished, if the problem is so serious that it mistakes the life of the soldier, he will cut off his head. In this case, if there are still unqualified firearms in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion, those craftsmen will not be able to get along with their own heads.

In order to ensure the range and power, the soldiers must make the bullet tightly press the gunpowder during the loading process, and fill the entire diameter of the pipe to ensure air tightness. At least that's what Velasco's camp says when they teach soldiers who have never seen a musket, where the solution is to load the bullet and then stuff the barrel with stuffing to keep the bullet from slipping out of the barrel. This habit was well learned by the musketeers, that is, these big and small details, put together, so that these musketeers of Yu Feng, no matter in terms of tactical thinking, training methods and actual combat concepts, are far beyond the other musketeers of the Ming Dynasty. The devil is in the details.

"It's all money!" Yu Feng looked at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield outside, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, muttering in his mouth, he was indeed calculating a small account in his heart. Firearm equipment is different from traditional sword, spear, bow and arrow equipment, not only the manufacturing process is relatively complex, the use and maintenance cost is much higher than the manufacturing cost, the gunpowder and lead shot fired are not so much bullets as money.

Fortunately, these Tartar cavalry, after all, are quite sensible, they didn't come empty-handed, at least they brought a group of horses, otherwise, Yu Feng has the heart to vomit blood, this is full of calculations, and he hasn't got a thousand firecrackers, the money spent on these people is simply more than all the other soldiers of the Fengzi battalion he raised, it turns out that Yu Feng also plans to make all of them into the kind of thermal weapons similar to the modern army, and now it seems that he is afraid that his beautiful dream will not come true, this firearm is fully equipped with troops, I'm afraid it's impossible, but if he is as rich as Shen Wansan, he can think about it.

It seems that even if he came to this era, with the vision and ideas of later generations, it seems that he can't change anything, what history should be, what it is, in this era, even if he drums up weapons that exceed this era, but, in the end, it is still in accordance with the law, the right to judge the victory or defeat on the battlefield, handed over to the cold weapon to fight, this heavy money to create a musket unit, in the final analysis, is just a kill output unit, even if it is a battle, They also rely on strong walls or armed cold weapons to protect their comrades.

Yu Feng was a little gloomy, raised his head at an angle of forty-five degrees, looked at the blood-like remnant sun in the sky, was speechless for a while, and said a sentence that none of the pro-soldiers around him understood: "No matter which dynasty, cheap is the king!" ”
