0394 salvo
In fact, when it comes to riding and shooting, Mongolia is the first in the world! On the one hand, they have grown up on horseback since childhood, are familiar with horse nature, and have excellent riding skills! On the other hand, because they often have to ride horses to shoot prey on the grassland, such as wolves, rabbits and other animals, they have a good archery skill!
But the Mongolian *** is not without weaknesses, because most of the time they shoot targets on horseback, so they are required to aim and shoot in a very short time, so they never pull the bow to the full length when shooting, at most they let go when they are halfway through! This is using this method to achieve the purpose of rapid fire!
And because their prey is generally small, after all, the biggest prey on the grassland is probably the wolf, that is, the size of a dog! So their bows are generally on the soft side and not very penetrating! This is how the living environment determines the way they ride and shoot!
So these Mongol cavalry had to shoot at a very close distance, their bows and arrows would have enough lethality, otherwise it would be difficult to pose enough threat to the opponent! In addition, the current Mongolians lack iron, and many herders are even using bone arrowheads, so the lethality is even worse!
In addition, many people say that Houjin *** relies on riding and shooting to fight the world, but in fact, Houjin *** is really good at foot combat! When the Later Jin army engaged the Ming army, they would often dismount in front of the formation, and then rely on the heavy armor soldiers to rush away from the opponent's battle formation under the cover of bows and arrows! Among them, the Bayala of each banner is a good hand specially used to open the opponent's battle array!
As for the war horses, they gave their soldiers great mobility, but in terms of mounted archery, they were inferior to the Mongols!
But it should be mentioned here that because the Houjin people were fishing and hunting rather than nomadic herding, and they lived in the deep mountains and old forests, the prey they faced was generally larger animals, such as tigers, pigs, bears and other animals, so the bows and arrows they used were generally hard bows, so that they could shoot through the fur of these animals!
And their feathered arrows are also specially constructed. In addition to the normal arrows, there are two special types of arrows. One is that the arrow is hammered flat and becomes the shape of a flat shovel, which is very heavy! In close quarters, the opponent is a huge wound!
There is also a heavy arrow that is specially designed to pierce armor! This kind of arrow has the same shape as a normal arrowhead, but it is very large and heavy! The armor of the Ming army was pierced with a single shot within thirty or forty steps!
The Houjin army relied on these two special forms of feather arrows to first disrupt the formation of the Ming army, and then used the Bayala soldiers as the sharp arrows to break through the Ming army's position, and cooperated with other soldiers to slash and kill! Wait for the complete collapse of the Ming army, and then use cavalry to cover the killing! So when the Houjin cavalry stopped the horses, the Ming army's team had already gone to eight out of ten!
But now this situation will soon be completely changed! Because Liu Haojia took out the most advanced breech gun that does not exist in this world! This gun was already the most advanced rifle before the advent of the integrated bullet!
And Liu Haojia has already begun to develop the Mini rifled gun. At the same time, attempts were being made to mass-produce artillery and develop flowering shells. As long as these three types of equipment are in place, the so-called unparalleled cavalry and archery of the Houjin Army will completely become a joke!
At this time, the soldiers were already in place, and Liu Haojia bowed down and said, "Long live Lord, can you start now?"
Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "You can start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several guards surrounded him and wrapped him in the middle, leaving only a gap in the gap in the human wall for him to watch the shooting performance. Emperor Wanli and Liu Haojia didn't say anything about this situation, after all, Emperor Wanli is the Ninety-Five, no matter how careful you are, you should be careful!
Especially when facing a fire gun drill, this needs to be even more careful! What if a soldier has an impulse in his heart and shoots at Emperor Wanli? This fire is not something that flesh and blood can stop!
When Emperor Wanli was protected, Liu Haojia signaled to the officer in command, and the officer immediately pulled out his command knife and shouted, "Aim!"
With the sound of "bang-la-la", the soldiers in the first row raised their firearms in unison and pointed at the opposite wooden target. At the same time, the right cheek is pressed against the butt of the gun and begins to aim!
At this time, I only heard the commander officer shouting, "Shoot!"
As the smoke of gunpowder rose like a cloud, only a loud "bang" was heard, and the fire was instantaneous
Start! And a whole row of firecrackers fired, and no single firecrackers were heard at all, which shows that the movements of this group of soldiers are very neat!
However, Emperor Wanli didn't care about the way they shot, and stretched out his head from the human wall to look in the direction of the wooden target, but he saw many wooden targets trembling, which showed that the lead bullet was hitting it!
At this time, he turned back to look at the soldiers who were shooting, and saw that the soldiers who had just finished shooting had already drawn their strips and were about to wipe their guns, and at the same time walked sideways to the back row. And the soldiers in the second platoon don't need the officer's command to step forward and aim at the fire at the flat end!
Then I only listened to the officer's order, and it was another row of cavalry shooting! Then they also retreated to the rear, and the third platoon stepped forward to complete the third volley!
Before hesitating, their firecrackers were all loaded with sub-medicines, so the first three volleys were dense and fast! But from the fourth round onwards, the speed slowed down, but it still maintained a steady rate of firing a round in twelve or thirteen seconds!
When the soldiers continued to fire salvos, Liu Haojia explained, "Long live Lord, this shooting method is called a three-stage attack, and it was invented by Mu Wangye during the Taizu period! This method of shooting can effectively increase the firing speed of the gun, and greatly improve the density of firepower! Now the front of the phalanx can be said to be airtight, and no matter how many people come up, there will be heavy casualties! If there are many enemies, the minister can even discharge five or six rows of people! That's when the speed of shooting will be faster!"
Seeing this situation, Guard Zhang's face had changed! He subconsciously whispered, "If the whole world is full of such an army, wouldn't there be no place for fierce generals in the world!"
By this time, each soldier had already completed three shots, only to hear the commander shout: "Bayonet!"
The soldiers immediately put up their muskets, drew their bayonets from their waists and put them on the muzzles, twisted them again, and heard only a neat "click" sound, and all the guns had an extra three-edged bayonet more than a foot long under the mouth!
As soon as the soldiers put their guns back in their hands, the officers shouted again, "Charge!"
The soldiers immediately rushed forward with a loud shout! And while running, they still maintain the appearance of a group of three!
