Chapter 52: The Vanguard Army's Teaching Team
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The biggest reason why hot weapons can replace cold weapons is that the former has lower requirements for users than the latter.
Of course, it wasn't always the case.
In our world, for example, the term musket, although it has since become a generic term for almost all front-loading muskets, was a surprising behemoth when it first appeared on the battlefields of Italy in 1421.
The word musket first appeared in the inventory of the armory of the city of Naples in 1499. According to the available real thing, the body of that gun is 55o mm long, the caliber is 3o mm, the total length is 143o mm, and the barrel is octagonal.
The word musket is derived from the Latin musca, fly, and is also the Latin name for a type of throwing arrow, while the ET is a firearm with a caliber of 23 mm, a total weight of 11 kg, a bullet weight of 5o grams, a maximum range of 25o meters, and an effective range of 1oo meters.
Loading was also a tiring task due to its bulkiness, as it took only 1o seconds to reload the musket at the time, but it took more than 2o seconds to position, mount, aim and fire. Needless to say, movement is also difficult, and the recoil when firing – the projectile shot is about twice as heavy as an open flame gun – is also something that cannot be ignored.
The arquebus shooters were selective, powerful men who were paid more and often had retinues to carry their equipment on the battlefield, but for the first time, scales and chain mail were weak and incompetent in the face of the projectiles fired by musket.
As a result, people had to sacrifice destructive power. By the end of the 16th century, muskets had become a weapon for light infantry and cavalry. The caliber was reduced to less than 15 mm, and the dimensions were not much different from modern rifles.
Although they were not as powerful as they once were, muskets became more widespread, and throughout the 16th century the ratio of musketeers to spearmen in the army was completely reversed, and by the end of the 16th century, the spearmen had completely become the ones who provided the musketeers with cover for cavalry charges.
It was in the 16th century that crossbows and longbows were finally withdrawn from the military ranks, and although early muskets were inferior to crossbows in some respects, musketeers were able to train fairly quickly compared to crossbowmen, especially longbowmen.
In addition, the manufacture of muskets, especially projectiles, is convenient. It takes months to make a longbow. It takes a week to make a crossbow and a day to make a musket, and it takes half an hour to make a crossbow arrow, but the projectiles can be cast in large quantities, and Les Misérables depicts the insurgents melting metal utensils to make projectiles, which was unthinkable in the era of bows and crossbows.
Easier training, easier logistics, and better armor-piercing capabilities. Let mankind enter the age of hot weapons.
Shooting, if you think of it as a sport. In fact, it depends on the body's ability to control zhì. That's why even Olympic-level shooters have myopia. For example, the famous general of the Celestial Empire, Wang Yifu's eyesight was only O.1 at the lowest, and he was almost half-blind, but he could still win the Olympic championship.
Needless to say, the ability of these children to control their bodies, even if they are only teenagers, is far superior to the top players in our world. They just don't know how to use it.
With the two little teachers, Li Zisheng and Hu Yunhong, it didn't take much time for these dozen children to master the essentials.
On such a morning, the soldiers crackled for a long time in the courtyard of the Pioneer Newspaper, which had been familiar with more than a dozen targets. By lunchtime, these children were basically already ten years old. Again, this is because of a process problem. The inner parts of these firearms are not tightly closed.
Li Zisheng looked at the sky and ended the first military training of the Young Pioneers.
As the children were about to reluctantly hand over their guns, the boy announced again that they could take home the Lianzi Quickbolt, which drew another cheer from his men.
After the members of the Young Pioneers left, Li Zisheng stayed behind and had lunch with his younger brother in the newspaper office.
When he finished eating and sat down to eat, he asked his younger brother, "Ren Yanzi, is this gun fun?"
Li Ziren said with a bitter face: "Big brother, it's not fun at all. My ears are deafening. ”
"Huh?" This big brother is a little unexpected, don't all boys like to fight and kill.
His younger brother said to himself, "Big brother, I still like to stay at home. Next ......"
He said a little coquettishly: "Can you let me stay at home." Okay?"
Li Zisheng asked puzzledly: "What's interesting in this house? It's either an accounting room, or I'm here to talk about business with my father." ”
"Big brother, so you don't know. Li Ziren immediately smiled when he heard this question, "Those businesses can earn yuanshi, my mother has already told me that the yuanshi earned by our family's store in the city in a year can buy the crops of the whole village of Lishan!"
"Oh......"
Li Zisheng was deflated for a while, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious of the clan's statement, his Li family really kept the blood of the ancient military god Chiyou, was it really a descendant of the generals of the previous dynasty? The origin of the "Five Elements War World", he also put a question mark in his mind.
Why does it seem that the genetic factors of this wealth fan are stronger than the genes of warriors.
For example, his father and the dead clan brother Li Zixu, as well as those clan elders who buckle the ropes, and now they have added their own younger brother.
At this time, he somewhat understood, no wonder Uncle Li Zhaozhou valued himself so much, it turned out that he had long seen that he was the same as him, and this uncle and nephew were the real outliers in the Li clan.
No, you have to take advantage of your younger brother's young age to reform him well. Even Shi Dang, who has lived in Taiping Road since he was a child, can transform himself, he doesn't believe that this benevolent man will not be able to do it.
He organized the language in his head, and was about to open his mouth to carry out ideological work on his younger brother, when Ye Gongzi walked in from outside the door and said respectfully: "President, Young Master Ren, the members of the club have already eaten lunch, and they are all waiting for you in the courtyard." Can we get started?"
Li Zisheng could only stop for the time being, and dragged his younger brother, who was a little reluctant, to the courtyard that was directly lit by the scorching sun of early summer.
The military training to be held this afternoon is the real military training!
If it is said that the militia regiment of the Young Pioneers is run in the morning, then the teaching team of the Pioneer Army is held in the afternoon!
As mentioned in the previous document, the line commissioner and the little reporter of this pioneer newspaper, including Ye Gongzi, are actually the Li family, more precisely, Li Zisheng's house slave, not to mention that personal rights are also in the hands of Young Master Li, whether life or death is just a matter of a young man's words.
This is completely different from the Young Pioneers of His Excellency Captain Li, the Young Pioneers are just a means for him to unite his peers, and it can also be said that this is his political zhì real yàn.
The children standing in the yard now are his real team. If he had made up his mind to train the children into his own private army, even his father would have nothing to say.
Another point is that these children have not yet completed the cultivation of the Heavenly Realm to concentrate on the Divine Realm, which means that they are still mortals.
As a soldier of the Liberator Legion, Li Zisheng certainly understands the hard truth of power coming out of the barrel of a gun.
However, the masses he wants to move must be mortals at the lowest level, so the vast majority of the army he wants to build must be mortals.
Li Zisheng is not a savior who can save all the people from fire and water by relying solely on his personal combat strength, but a revolutionary who allows all mankind to use their own initiative to be their own masters!
However, if the mortals of the Great Nine Continents had undergone rigorous training and had "advanced" weapons in their hands, they would still have no way to fight against the cultivators in the end......
Then his path will be more tortuous, more difficult, and more ...... That means you have to find a different way.
The military training in the afternoon is the military fact of the teenager.
Therefore, he took great pains to carry out two training sessions with different contents in the morning and afternoon, and formed two teams with completely different training policies and objectives.
Li Zisheng's purpose is self-explanatory. (To be continued!)
