1296 The musket goes out of the world and becomes one

It's very hurrying, it seems to be a joke.

Don’t belittle yourself. That period was actually an era of ignorance. Even if it was a white skin who claimed to use smoothbore guns without bows and arrows, their smoothbore gun shooting training was simply perfunctory.

Among the European powers, as a mainland country, France, which is the most concerned about land warfare, rarely conducts targeted training for smoothbore guns. Light infantry can only improve themselves in actual combat. It was not until Napoleon became the first in power to take the shooting training. In 1800 AD, Napoleon's minister Berdière issued an order: requiring French recruits to undergo reloading, gun control, aiming, shooting and other training, and to ensure that live ammunition was fired several times before going to the battlefield. However, in fact, there was not enough ammunition and time to ensure sufficient training.

The British army did a good job in this regard, but there were only 30 live rounds + 50 shots without projectiles.

It is now 1653 AD. The training of militias in a small mountain village in the Eastern Ming Dynasty has actually surpassed all foreign regular troops. They have 40 live ammunition and 40 shootings without projectiles!

The militia in mere mountain villages fired much more times than the formally organized officers and soldiers of the Chongzhen dynasty of the former Ming Dynasty.

As for ordinary soldiers of the Southeast Army, they had three months of training before going into battle, with at least 100 live-fire shots, and the New Ming Army also achieved more than 80 live-fire shots.

Every bullet is silver dollars, and silver dollars turn into smoke, and only war madmen like Yan Changwu are willing to do so!

As a Chinese, there is no doubt that the hard work in his bones is indisputable. When the genius was hazy, a forty-many musket team had already set off. The village chief Qi Jiasan personally led the battle and cooperated with the two officers and soldiers. They carried two black gunpowder bombs given by the county government. Of course, as the chief, it was one.

Qi Jiasan asked them if they were missing a little. The two officers and soldiers said that they would only use it at the last moment, and if they could not use it, they would not use it.

They summoned the team members last night to explain the combat tactics, that is, ambush battle and sparrow battle!

Don’t fight against the superior enemy head-on, it’s the military’s business. Save yourself and fight the enemy!

Fight a battle with the wind, don’t fight hard, and retreat when the enemy is strong!

Some children were naive and said they had fought against the enemy, while the two commanders said sternly: "This is the will of the prince. He cherishes the lives of the people and will never allow you to do this!"

Qi Jiasan highly appreciates such tactics. He has experience. Unlike those young people who are another hero after 18 years of labor and capital, he requires the children to strictly implement the commands of the chief.

We set off at 5 o'clock in the morning. Everyone was familiar with the road, and they were young people again. They arrived at the Black Wind Quarter at 9 o'clock.

At this time, the road was sandwiched between the two mountains, with hills on both sides of the road, covered with grass, the terrain was extremely dangerous and very concealed, which was a good place for ambush.

There, the non-commissioned officer Zhang Jihai found a hillside back slope for the musket team to ambush the musket team. The road turned around on the hillside and was close to the l-shaped shape, and the back slope was facing the middle of the l-shaped shape.

The place is very good, and pedestrians on the road will slow down at the turning point, which is conducive to ambushing.

The musket team was not close to the road, but was lying in a ditch further away, with only Qi Jiasan, Zhang Jihai and Qi Ming observing from a high place.

They are hidden in the grass and are hard to find.

There were constant Mongolian cavalry on the road, but most of them were returning north and they were evacuating!

The Khalkha cavalry advanced in a large scale, how could the Ming Dynasty be unprepared? The nine-sided areas entered the first-level combat readiness, and all cities, villages and forts were on high alert, and they were strictly guarded and defended. Local officials were responsible for defending their territory and did not dare to relax at all. All regions were firmly cleared and the fields were cleared and their efforts were to attack the invaders.

The Southeast King was a pirate and did whatever he wanted. He asked the families of the commanders and local officials in the mainland to keep them distracted, but in fact they seized the families of the officials as hostages. It is conceivable that once an official dares to surrender, his family will definitely pay a serious price.

In the previous Ming Dynasty, civil officials had already criticized the emperor for being decent and said, "You treat me with national talents, and I should repay you with national talents. You treat me with passers-by, and I will repay you with passers-by. You treat me with grass, and I will repay you with enemy." How can those who are superiors not trust their subordinates?

So when former civil servants and officers encountered strong enemies, some of them served their own country, and some became traitors and became leaders, but their families almost paid no price.

On the northern front of Xinming, no official dared to take it lightly, and even less dared to bargain with the Southeast King.

In this way, the upper class resolutely resisted the war. The Ming army faced strong resistance, and the weak, fought, blocked roads and blocked traffic. The Mongolian cavalry encountered great resistance.

As time goes by, the Mongolians are eager to retreat, thinking that this year will not work and will come back next year.

Mongolian cavalry passed by on the road at Black Windkou from time to time, and Zhang Jihai never ordered the musket team to attack. He wanted to do a big vote.

In fact, he was sent out as a thankless job. It was a good job. Isn't it good to stay in the army? He had to run to the countryside and was unfamiliar with the place. What benefits could he have with his mud legs?

There are worlds where there are people. Zhang Jihai was excluded in the army. He held his breath and wanted to show those people that even if he was not in the army, he could make achievements!

At noon, the sun shone brightly, and everyone ate steamed buns in the ditch and drank tea in a military kettle.

The conditions are harsh, but no one complains.

Military water bottles - made of tin, don’t underestimate this small metal utensil. In the past, poor families could not even wear clothes, let alone get these metals.

This was bought by Qi Jiasan using the funds from the village, which were the money for selling tobacco leaves.

It was afternoon, but I heard people shouting horses neighing in the distance, and obviously a large army was coming.

Zhang Jihai was originally staying in the ditch and woke up by others. He quickly went up to the top of the mountain to take a look, but he saw that the large group of Mongolian cavalry was clearly dressed, tall and big horses, numerous flags, and neat metal weapons compared to the Mongolians in the past.

The Mongolians did not have unified supplies and supplies, and their equipment was varied. Some tribes were so poor that they used a wooden stick to pull a few feet of cloth as their flags. Some were also like the current Mongolian cavalry, with a mighty wolf-headed flag blowing in the wind.

They carried a lot of supplies, and the carriages were filled with boxes and bags, and even captured some women from the Central Plains to take them on the horse. They became rich!

After all, it is very powerful and it is inevitable that they will be able to break the village. They cannot defeat the big city, but the small fortress is less than six meters high. If you encounter tens of thousands of enemies, you will be a mountain of soil, and you will be devastated in an instant!

Zhang Jihai was indignant when he saw it and said to Liu Jiasan: "Fight!"

"Fight!" Qi Jiasan had been impatient for a long time and agreed.

So the musket team quietly entered the position, and Zhang Jihai personally led three young men with the best marksmanship into a small ditch on the side of the road, only ten meters away from the road!

Others were ambushing the back, and everyone wore leaf crowns made of leaves on their heads to enhance concealment.

The Mongolians walked past the road, but they did not pay attention to the situation on both sides of the road, because people kept walking around in the morning, and searched for it, thinking that there was no enemy.

Moreover, even if the Ming people rushed out, the Mongolians could still shoot out fast arrows, and even the Ming people were nowhere near them, so the Mongolians were not afraid at all.

Obviously, they miscalculated this time, but they didn't expect that the Ming people would not send anyone to bullets.

Zhang Jihai found a group of people coming, and was catching a golden flag, which was extremely eye-catching. Under the golden flag, a young chief was furiously dressed in a furious horse, which was extremely prominent.

It's him!

Zhang Jihai's gun and the other three guns were aimed at him at the same time. When the distance was twenty meters, four guns opened fire at the same time.

"Bang!" The gunshots almost rang out together.

It was awesome. None of the four bullets were empty. At the same time, he hit the big boss and fell to the ground like a fallen leaf.

Chahundorji, the son of Xietu Khan Gunbu of Khalkhatu, was shot and killed by a low-level Ming officer and three mud legs!
