The soldiers in the first row immediately pulled the trigger and fired the first volley! After everyone heard the sound of shooting, they were all talking about the sound of fire, which was much duller than the sound of birds! But listening to Qi Jiguang's ears is another matter!

First of all, he felt that the sound of these firecrackers was very neat, and more than thirty people in a row could actually fire the firecrackers almost at the same time, making the sound of firecrackers like one sound! This shows that these firecrackers are well-trained! This is something that the Qi family army can't do!

In addition, he has seen a lot of firearms in the army, and he saw that the sound of this fire gun was dull, not at all like the crisper sound of the bird! So he knew that the amount of charge of this fire gun was probably far greater than that of the bird gun! Those buckshots should also be heavier!

He was listening to the sound of the shooting with his ears pricked up, and at the same time he was looking at the dummy in front of him with a telescope! Unfortunately, only two of the 30 targets in the dense row shook a little! Looks like he was hit by buckshot! But looking at the magnitude of the shaking, I'm afraid it's not very powerful!

Sure enough, after the first round of shooting, someone whispered: "This so-called new firearm is not enough!" ”

And he seemed to be very unhappy when he looked at Emperor Wanli, so he thought about it and felt that since he received Liu Haojia's telescope, he would always have to repay the favor!

So he hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, don't think that if a few buckshot bullets hit the target, the soldiers are not precise and the equipment is poor!" In fact, it was a hundred and twenty steps from the place where the soldier shot to the target! Even now, except for the limited two weapons such as heavy crossbows, there is no one in the army who can reach this range! ”

Emperor Wanli was much more relieved when he heard this, so he asked, "Oh, how powerful is the heavy crossbow in the army at this distance?" ”

Qi Jiguang said: "You can't break armor at this distance, and the accuracy is also not high!" Moreover, the heavy crossbow is not easy to make, it is cumbersome to use, and the damage rate is too high! So now there are fewer and fewer of them used in the army! ”

While the two of them were talking, the soldiers below had already fired two more rounds of firearms, and all the soldiers were reloading the medicine in place. This is one thing that Qi Jiguang noticed, he suddenly raised his head and said to Liu Haojia: "Why don't these soldiers have arquebuses on them?" ”

The firearms such as bird guns used in the Ming army now all use fire ropes as ignition tools! This old-fashioned arquebus is very cumbersome to use! And every time a soldier goes into battle, he has to wrap a long arquebus around his body. It's heavy and inconvenient!

Especially if you don't do it, you will either go out halfway, or burn out too quickly, and it will be useless! Therefore, on the battlefield, soldiers often rush to re-ignite the arquebus!

Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Xia Guan thought that Lord Qi wouldn't find out for a while, but he didn't expect you to find out at a glance!" This kind of fire gun is called Suifa gun, and it is called Xia Guanxin's research! I won't explain it to the adults now, but I will ask the adults to observe it in detail after the drill is over! ”

Qi Jiguang nodded again and again after hearing this, and arched his hand very gratefully! At this time, the officers below had already ordered the soldiers to finish loading their ammunition and began to order them to move forward! By the time they stopped, they were already about 100 paces away from the target!

At this time, Qi Jiguang's expression began to become serious! If you are in the army, the bird gun already has the ability to hurt people in about 100 steps! I just don't know what about these firecrackers? So he didn't close his eyes when he used the telescope, and he kept his eyes on the target in the telescope while scanning the soldiers with his peripheral vision!

With the sound of firearms, nearly half of the targets in the telescope shook! Seeing this, Qi Jiguang nodded secretly in his heart! Nearly half of them hit the target, which is already on par with the accuracy of the bird's gun! But in his peripheral vision, he saw something else that surprised him! That is, the soldiers in the first row immediately turned sideways and walked back after shooting, while the soldiers in the back stepped forward! Under the command of the officer, the flat fire is set aside and the aim is fired! So he couldn't help blurting out three words: "Three dans!" ”

Many people on the high platform were a little dumbfounded when they heard these three words, and they didn't know what they looked like! Only a few people showed a look of surprise! As for Emperor Wanli, he even said, "What are you talking about?" "Emotes!

Liu Haojia took the initiative to explain: "The so-called three-stage attack is to shoot in rotation like the soldier just now!" One person shoots, one prepares, one person reloads! In this way, the projectiles will rain endlessly! This kind of tactic was created by Prince Mu during the founding of the country, and it is very powerful! ”

Qi Jiguang also sighed and said: "Such a tactic is now difficult to see in the army!" Only a few troops can master! ”

Emperor Wanli said in surprise: "Why? It's just a simple rotation of positions! ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Your Majesty, this method seems extremely simple, but if you want to use this method properly, you need soldiers to practice for a long time, and there is no shortage of food!" But now that the border can do the soldiers' ten-day exercise, they are quite diligent as generals! Even the army under the command of the minister is only a three-day exercise! Otherwise, there won't be enough food! ”

Emperor Wanli immediately turned his head to Liu Haojia and said, "These soldiers are so elite, how many days do they have a drill?" Is the food sufficient? ”

Liu Haojia said: "Your Majesty, the minister's approach is different, the minister is two exercises a day!" And one more talk! As for the salaries, all of these new troops were paid double salaries! ”

After Liu Haojia's words were heard by others, there was a commotion, and they all felt that these rations were too much! Some people even said directly: "Isn't it unfair to other armies to give so much food and salary to the new army?" You must know that the world is not a few, but an uneven! In this way, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the army! ”

Liu Haojia sneered and said: "As far as the other armies you are talking about, they may not be drilled once a month, where can they compare to these new armies under the command of this official?" Moreover, the 300,000 or so people in the entire Beizhili may not be able to beat the 60,000 people of the official! Therefore, by laying off all the more than 300,000 people and using the saved food and salary to support these new troops, a lot of food and salary can be saved! ”

Those people wanted to argue but were stopped by Zhang Juzheng, who said: "This is not the time to talk about these issues, let's watch the whole exercise first!" ”

At this time, the soldiers below had already stepped forward again to eighty paces under the command of the officer! This salvo Qi Jiguang saw a lot of doorways again! First of all, the target rate is much higher, not to mention, and there is white smoke coming out of the place where the target is shot! Even the place where the iron armor was shot was also white smoke wafting out!

Qi Jiguang came to see and asked, "Lord Liu, what is the white smoke coming out of those dummies?" ”
