599. Chapter 599 The truth is within the range of the cannon
Qian Wubing has always had a misunderstanding in his mind.
Even though the "subordinates" he has in front of him, who seem to be a patchwork of things, are not serious Jin Yiwei, the level of firearms among them is still very high! If the configuration of the officers and soldiers of Zhendong Guard in the past is compared,
, dignified Zhendongwei, imperial officers and soldiers
, there are more than 3,000 people in the first guard, but there are only about 200 fire gunmen. It can be seen that the fighting method of the entire Zhendong Guard is still based on cold weapons fighting. The fire gunmen basically serve as a long-range unit.
, replacing the role of crossbowmen in the southern army.
The Zhendong Guards were regarded as the more capable imperial officers and soldiers in Fujian. It can be deduced from this that the amount and frequency of firearm use in the entire Ming army was actually not too high.
However, thanks to the experience of later generations, Qian Wubing is very sure that firearms can play a huge role in the cold weapon era. At least, there is a huge difference between training an archer and training a firecracker.
The difference in investment can explain the problem.
It takes less than three to five years for an archer to be trained to be able to fight. Even for such a well-trained archer, in a battle, he can shoot more than a dozen arrows before his arm becomes weak.
, this person who plays bow and arrow is a physical job. But
, it takes at most half a year for a fire gun player to be freshly fired. Moreover, as long as the supply of ammunition is OK and the quality of the fire gun is high, it will not be a problem for them to fire not only ten rounds of projectiles, but even a hundred rounds. And the lethality is
The killing range is only larger than that of a bow and arrow.
Therefore, whether consciously or unconsciously, his fleet and his army are moving closer to the direction of firearms. Although he has practiced martial arts for many years and has good skills, he really does not have the ability to bring his own army and
The enemy fought face to face with knives, sticks, axes and axes, and after hearing
In my heart, this battle is not fought like this at all. Of course, the cannons are set up first and blast for a while, and then the musketeers set up their formations and fire for a while. If they have experienced these two rounds, the opponent will still
If there are many remaining soldiers who have been defeated, then the cavalry or foot soldiers can charge and kill them for a while to collect the remaining pieces.
It cannot be said that Qian Wubing's idea was wrong. In fact, someone had done this before him, and after him, there were even more people who promoted this tactic. However, the two people before and after him were slightly less famous.
A little bigger, and Qian Wubing's reputation is really not worth mentioning compared to them.
It was Zhu Di who had used this tactic before him! It was this tactic that beat the Mongolian cavalry to the point of losing their temper. This tactic was naturally a bit difficult for ordinary troops. When Zhu Di used it,
Mainly still use
The three major battalions serve as the main force. After discovering the Mongolian cavalry, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion will immediately move closer to the front of the formation, prepare for the launch of artillery and muskets, and launch a salvo under unified command. This salvo is aimed at
The first round of attacks by the Mongolian cavalry,
After the Shenji Battalion finishes shooting, it will immediately retreat to the two wings of the team. Then the cavalry from the 3,000 Battalion and the 5th Army Battalion will immediately fill in the gaps and launch an assault on the already wounded Mongolian cavalry. This is the second round of attacks. After the cavalry assault
, the infantry of the fifth military camp began to attack. They often held cavalry weapons and launched a final round of blows against the Mongolian cavalry! After this combination of punches, the result was that Bei Yuan escaped and lingered, basically without much thought.
To take back the colorful world of the Central Plains.
And after Qian Wubing, there was a great man who turned Europe upside down, Bonaparte and Napoleon! It was this man who brought a series of brilliant victories to Napoleon's army, first with artillery, then with guns, and finally with cold weapons.
This tactic, but in Napoleon's era, the last step was basically omitted. The muskets at that time had already been equipped with bayonets. The musketeers were not only simple musketeers, but also had the function of close combat.
If he had to use one sentence to outline his tactics, it would be the words of the iron-blooded chancellor of later Germany that could not be more appropriate - the truth lies within the range of the cannon!
You don’t even have a cannon, so stop fighting with me. Believe it or not, I’ll beat you until your mother doesn’t recognize you!
Therefore, when he heard the reason why Ji Nuer persuaded him not to go to Manlajia, which was that it was not safe enough there, he was really unconvinced. Not to mention he had hundreds of muskets and nearly 3,000 men.
In addition to the hundreds of cannons on the ship, there may not be more Spaniards in Malacca than in Luzon, right?
, As for the natives of Manlajia, well, let’s not talk about this. I took five hundred people and dared to come to the royal city of your Boni Kingdom to be a guest in a ostentatious manner. Don’t you understand my intention? Your Boni Kingdom
Isn’t it better than Manla, who is now in a mess? I’m not afraid of the strong, but I’m afraid of the weak?
With this idea in mind, if the slave shows a little intention of praying for care, of course he will agree immediately. Even if you don't speak, he will definitely not see the Spaniards coming here to interfere. This is a good place.
Not bad, but the better the place, this unique place
The business of buying and selling at home will be more profitable. Spaniards, I will die as far away as possible! Although he promised Grisha, the fleet that Grisha mentioned is not yet in the corner. He still has
He really didn't think that his "ally" could threaten his monopoly.
During this meal, both of them drank happily. Jinu'er got the promise he wanted, and Qian Wubing had enough understanding of Manlajia's affairs. This news came from Jinuer's mouth,
Compared with the rumors from the merchants who deal with the fleet, the authority is naturally much stronger.
In the afternoon, Ji Nuer's subordinates were still training. Qian Wubing comfortably held a cup of tea and took a sip. The wind blew through the treetops, rustling, and he couldn't even name them while lying on these
Under the shade of a tree that cannot even be called, it is really a good enjoyment to relax comfortably and enjoy the cool air! Looking at the harbor in the distance, the beach, white clouds, and seabirds rising and falling from time to time, it is so worth it.
The patient closed his eyes in comfort.
He was thinking about his trip to Malacca. He would definitely go there, but when he went there was up to him and not others.
A black cloud floated from the sky, which was the prelude to the storm. Qian Wubing closed his eyes and did not notice the changes in the sky. Of course, he would not have thought that a bigger storm could completely disrupt the situation.
The storm of his journey, coming from the direction of this black cloud in the sky, is coming, in this world
In the world, a violent collision that can change the world's ocean forces is about to unfold under this sky. And in this world, as a representative of the East, in the great picture of the Age of Discovery that future generations yearn for infinitely,
Qian Wubing will solemnly engrave his name on this scroll!
