Chapter 41 Intensify training

On this day, Liu Yi led the soldiers of the Fourth Flag to train as usual. The current matchlock gun has a slow loading speed and poor accuracy. It can only use three-stage shooting, but it is slightly different from the Shenji Battalion. Liu Yi used

It is the three-stage shooting of the Japanese army. The three-stage shooting of the Japanese army is more advanced than that of the Shenji Battalion. The three-stage shooting of the Japanese army is one person with one gun. Each person is only responsible for his own gun, loading and shooting by himself. This is better than the Shenji Battalion.

A little more clever, Shenjiying

To be precise, the three-stage strike should be called the three-stage strike delivered by firecrackers. The first row shoots, and the last two rows load ammunition. This brings about a problem. In battle formations, the first row is often filled with soldiers who can shoot more accurately.

The shooting level of the last two rows is worse, but the reloading is very fast. In terms of pure shooting, every three people in a team perform their duties, which is very efficient. However, if a person in a certain row suffers casualties, then the entire team's shooting

The rhythm will be disrupted.

Those who fire accurately will suffer casualties, those behind will fire inaccurately, and those who reload quickly will be injured and killed. Those who fire accurately in front will reload and fire by themselves, and the shooting speed will slow down. When the officer calls for fire, the firepower of the row cannot be fired, resulting in

The power of firearms has been greatly reduced. However, the iron artillery team of the Warring States Period in Japan used one gun per man.

, stand in a row with fast loading, and stand in a row with slow loading, so that everyone's speed is about the same, and only the officer needs to master the shooting rhythm. Therefore, the Japanese iron artillery team caused a lot of trouble to the Ming army in the early stage of the Japanese Rebellion.

A lot of casualties were caused by scientific troop formations.

"Fire!" Liu Yi shouted, bang bang bang bang, the first row of four muskets fired, and one shot hit the wooden target a hundred steps away. Then the soldiers who finished shooting began to reload, first taking out the cloth bag they carried

Bite open the gunpowder paper package with your mouth, pour a little gunpowder into the medical pot on the right side of the blunderbuss machine, close the medical pot, pour the remaining gunpowder into the blunderbuss tube, take out the lead bullet, and use a

Wrap a piece of cloth and place it on the mouth of the blunderbuss. Then use a small wooden hammer to hit the lead bullet to slide the lead bullet into the blunderbuss chamber. Put the wooden hammer back, pull out the purge bar from under the blunderbuss tube to compact the lead bullets and gunpowder, and open the medicine pot.

, move the faucet holding the match rope backward until you hear the click of the spring, check whether the match rope is extinguished, if it is extinguished, light it again, and finally aim and listen to the command to pull the trigger to launch.

Today's soldiers need at least twenty to thirty breaths to complete this process. So Liu Yi set the interval between each row's firing at ten breaths. After ten breaths, Liu Yi shouted again: "Let go" before firing the second row, aiming.

But it was the target at fifty paces, two shots were hit, and the third row of Ten Breath hit all the targets ten paces away.

After the morning's practice, Liu Yi lectured the soldiers of the fourth flag: "We are different from other teams. I don't skimp on lead bullets and gunpowder. We can shoot ten rounds every day. I hope you don't ask for it on the battlefield."

Hurry up, don't be nervous, just keep this rhythm." Everyone nodded to express their understanding. In addition, Liu Yi also asked Tao Zong to find a craftsman to make some thicker iron barrels, which would be useful in the future, and Tao Zong did so.

On the other hand, Liu Jin's cavalry training was also very effective. Their tactics were very simple. They first lined up a row of single-eyed muskets, and then threw them away after shooting. They then accelerated and sprinted directly with the rifles used by the infantry. After the spears hit the wooden man, they gave up.

Spear, draw out

The Yan Ling Dao continues to sprint forward and chop at the same time, then splits its way to both sides and runs back to the main formation, obtains the spear handed over by the infantry, and repeats the above process. It can be said to be a mechanized cavalry group combat method. It is somewhat similar to Napoleon's Poland.

Lancer.

At the end of October, the weather was already showing signs of chilling. Liu Yi was training at the school field when he saw Wu Bin walking in from the gate of the camp. Wu Bin would come to check on Liu Yi's soldiers and horses every once in a while. When he saw

They are well-trained and their movements are neat and I can’t help but feel secretly

Nodding, this unit is much better than the guardsmen in terms of equipment, techniques, tactics, and discipline. Liu Yi is indeed Cheng Chongdou's disciple. He has two skills. I just haven't seen it before on the battlefield.

Bloody, it is still unknown how these new recruits will perform.

Wu Bin approached and smiled at Liu Yi: "Mr. Liu, thank you for your hard work."

"Sir! I will not work hard, the bandits will not be exterminated, and the house will not be safe. I will not dare to slack off." Liu Yi bowed.

"Okay, I don't dare to slack off. I have always heard that General Liu is loyal and courageous. It's better to see it than to hear it a hundred times." said a voice behind Wu Bin.

Liu Yi looked up and looked behind Wu Bin, but there was an officer wearing cotton armor, a beggar helmet, and a military badge hanging on his waist. "Who is this?" Liu Yi asked.

"Oh, let me introduce you to General Liu Qi, whom you haven't met since he took office. This is Zhao Lin and Zhao Baihu stationed in the barracks outside the city." Wu Bin introduced.

"It turns out that General Zhao was in front of him, and his subordinates were disrespectful and disrespectful." Liu Yi complained.

Zhao Lin waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. It seems that I didn't say hello in advance. I just came with General Wu to inspect." "In that case, I will train first, and I will invite you two to tea after the training." Liu.

Yi Bao Quan Dao.

When Zhao Lin heard this, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he said in his heart, "I don't know what to praise. When the superior officer came, he didn't step forward and served me respectfully. He actually left me aside. I'll be polite to you."

You're still energetic." His expression turned cold at that moment. Liu Yi didn't want to think so much. He was going to suppress the bandits at the end of the year. He sweated more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. He still focused on practicing.

Zhao Lin stood aside with his hands behind his hands and watched them train. Suddenly his pupils shrank, "Granny, Liu Yi's small general banner actually has everyone with armor and more than a dozen war horses. This is richer than mine, a hundred households."

Ah." Thinking that there were nearly a hundred people in his camp, but only seventy pieces of armor, and only three war horses, he became more excited.

How can I compete with Wu Bin who has quietly raised such an army? Zhao Jingzhong, Mr. Zhao, promised me that as long as I could find a way to squeeze Wu Bin out and establish himself as a general with military merit, he would be the commander-in-chief within half a year.

Is there a way to transfer me to Fuzhi to serve as deputy chief?

Household. Anyway, Eunuch Wei has the final say in the court now. Even if he becomes a thousand households, it is not impossible. After watching Liu Yi's training, I was even more shocked. His mother's equipment is so good. Everyone has a main weapon and a secondary weapon.

Weapons, where did Wu Bin get the money to build a new army?

Liu Yi took off his six-flap helmet. Although the weather was relatively cold, bursts of white gas still came out of his head. He wiped his sweat and said to Wu Bin and Zhao Lin: "Two generals, please go to the barracks to rest." After that, he led the two men.

People went to the barracks.

The three people sat down according to their official positions, naturally Wu Bin was in the middle, Zhao Lin was on the left, and Liu Yi was on the right. Liu Jin was ordered to serve three cups of hot tea. Liu Yi personally brought it over, "Hey, Mao Feng is still the best. Mr. Liu Qi is very popular in the camp.

You are rich." Zhao Linpi said with a smile.

"Haha, these are gifts from the merchants of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce and are used by the labor force." Liu Yi replied.

"Haha, I was just kidding, Mr. Liu, don't mind."

"Hey, since the general likes to drink Maofeng, I will ask the people below to prepare two portions of good Maofeng and bring them back to the two generals for tasting." Liu Yi said respectfully.

"In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Liu Qi." Zhao Lin said again: "Mr. Liu Qi, I have something else to discuss with you."

"General, please speak." "I will observe that all the soldiers in your camp are equipped with armor, sufficient weapons, and more than a dozen war horses. You also know that the brothers outside the city are suffering. It is freezing outside the city and they are still stationed outside."

We must always be on guard against bandits, horse thieves, and soldiers.

Armor and horses are all insufficient. You see, your camp is quite rich. Why don't you give half of the horses and soldiers to my camp outside the city? After all, everyone is a warrior. It's useless for you to ask for so much equipment in the city, isn't it?

?" Zhao Lin said.

"What the general doesn't know is that these soldiers and horses are all obtained by Lord Wu, the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce and the people who supported us. I have asked General Wu for instructions and will send troops to exterminate the Ma Renji bandits at the end of the year, so I am hurrying up now."

It is true that these soldiers and horses cannot be trained evenly, so please forgive me, General Zhao." Liu Yi replied.

"General Liu, after all, I'm still your superior, why don't you give me this face?" Zhao Lin said displeased.

Wu Bin quickly came out to smooth things over: "Haha, Zhao Baihu, what General Liu Qi said is true. It is true that troops will be sent out at the end of the year. We will talk about the equipment later."

It’s hard for Wu Bin to speak too harshly. After all, standing behind Zhao Lin is Zhao Jingzhong, the leader of the ten children in Dongchang who punished thousands of households. Now that Eunuch Wei is powerful, how can a boss like Wu Bin, the size of a sesame seed, stand up to him?

Come on. When you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. So even though you know that Zhao Lin is provoking trouble, you can't act like a superior and reprimand him. You can only smooth things over.

But Zhao Lin seemed not to hear him. He used the cup lid in his hand to pour out the floating tea leaves, blew in a breath, and took a sip of tea: "Mr. Liu, will you give me this face or not?" Liu

At this time, Yi also understood that Zhao Lin was clearly here to stir up trouble. His target was Wu Bin, and he was just a target for him.

This kind of bastard is unworthy and cannot affect the great cause. Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked directly into Zhao Lin's eyes, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "It will only be more than a month until the end of the year. If Ma Ren's gangsters are not eliminated, the Taiping Mansion will be in trouble, and I will be in trouble for my subordinates."

Obey."

"Hahahahaha, good, good." Zhao Lin said three good words in a row, "Young and promising, young and promising." Zhao Lin stood up and put down the teacup and said: "General Wu, I have something important to attend to.

I won’t accompany you, General Liu Qi. I wish you success." He bowed his hands to Wu Bin, glanced at Liu Yi, and turned around to leave the barracks. Liu Yi saw an imperceptible hint of viciousness in his eyes.

"Arrogant, domineering, unworthy, bastard."

Wu Bin slapped the table, spilling some tea, and said to Liu Yi: "The eunuchs are behind this person, especially his fellow villager Zhao Jingzhong from the Thousand Households in Dongchang. He is the head of the ten children under Wei Gonggong, so

Only this bastard Zhao Lin dares to be so arrogant. He is a cruel person and you have offended him today. I don’t know what other damaging moves he is holding back, so be careful."

Liu Yi cupped his hands and said: "I understand that such villains have entered the army and do not want to kill the enemy. They only know about internal fighting. It is a misfortune for our Ming army."
