Chapter 2088 Give them a little shock to the Zhejiang Army
After the wolf soldiers reviewed the troops, Cen Dalu couldn't wait to go on stage and asked Zhu Pingan how he felt about the wolf soldiers.
"Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times." Zhu Ping'an definitely encouraged.
Cen Dalu immediately raised his head and said, "Hey, this is just a display for us. If it were an actual battle, our wolf soldiers would be even more powerful."
"Mr. Zhu, we have heard about the Zhejiang Army for a long time. It has repeatedly defeated Japanese pirates and its record is second to none in the south of the Yangtze River. Today is a rare opportunity. Please let us see the power of your army." Mrs. Wa's hand was extended in greeting.
Zhu Ping'an also wanted to take the opportunity to promote firearms and advance the progress of firearms, so he readily accepted it and asked Liu Dadao to lead the Zhejiang army on a military parade to give them a small shock to the Zhejiang army.
When Mrs. Wa and Cen Dalu watched the Zhejiang army marching in uniform steps, their faces could not help but be filled with shock.
They had never seen such a neat queue before. They were as neat as walls as they marched, overwhelming the crowds.
"Eh? Why did they put so many targets? Why did they bring up a few vertical shields?" Cen Dalu pointed down and exclaimed, confused.
Sure enough, following the direction of Cen Dalu's finger, Mrs. Wa could see rows of targets placed in front of the Zhejiang army's column. They were uneven and messy. After counting, there were almost three hundred targets.
In front of these targets, six huge vertical shields were moved, the kind of giant shields that can stand on the ground with brackets.
These six giant shields were spread out like a wall.
"Just look down and you'll find out." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
"Don't be like a monkey, unable to eat hot tofu in a hurry." Mrs. Wa took the opportunity to educate Cen Dalu.
Next.
When the Zhejiang Army's column was still more than a hundred meters away from the target, the Zhejiang Army suddenly stopped. Then dozens of Zhejiang Army soldiers came forward. Two people carried a squatting tiger cannon, adjusted the angle, and fixed it on the ground.
"Fire the gun!"
A young general waved vigorously.
The Zhejiang soldiers immediately lit the Tiger Crouching Cannon, only to hear a "bang" of uniform fire and smoke rising.
The next second, I saw the giant shield in front of the target being hit by artillery fire. The heavy shells roared and hit the giant shield.
A huge shield as heavy and thick as a door panel, a huge shield like a wall, is as vulnerable to cannonballs as fragile glass.
"Bang!" In the sound of "bang" and "bang", the six giant shields were shattered into pieces, and even the target behind the giant shield fell down in a big piece.
"Sigh" Cen Dalu took a deep breath when he saw this, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Mrs. Wa's expression also changed in an instant.
"Damn it, this firearm is so powerful. A shield that is so thick and big is like paper, vulnerable to a single blow!"
"This is still a shield. If it hits a person, wouldn't it be smashed into pieces?! It's terrible!"
The wolf soldiers watching around let out waves of exclamations, and they were all shocked.
Cen Dalu couldn't help but bring himself into the audience at this moment. If, if our wolf soldiers were the enemies of the Zhejiang army, and we faced the Zhejiang army with giant shields, then the end of our own shield soldiers would be torn apart.
The Zhejiang Army’s firearms are so powerful!
"Look, the Zhejiang army is marching again." When Cen Dalu was in a daze, he heard the voices of the wolf soldiers below the stage and hurriedly looked down the stage.
After firing the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the soldiers of the Tiger Crouching Cannon were loading the cannon again at the same spot. The Zhejiang soldiers passed them and continued to move forward in overwhelming numbers.
The Zhejiang Army stopped fifty meters away from the target forest. Then, the Zhejiang Army soldiers formed three rows. The first row squatted, the second row bowed, and the third row stood upright. The standard Zhejiang Army three-stage shooting
posture.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
There was a neat and dense sound of gunfire, and amid the smoke, bullets of gunshots were fired towards the target forest like a rain of lead pellets.
"Crackling"
The sound of hitting was heard from the target forest, and bullet holes were punched through the target one after another.
The first group of Zhejiang soldiers fired their muskets, stepped back, loaded their ammunition, and then the three rows behind stepped forward and once again performed the standard Zhejiang army's three-stage shooting posture.
"Bang bang bang"
There was another neat and dense burst of firecrackers.
The target forest in the distance crackled again, the number of bullet holes in the targets increased, and several targets were even knocked down.
After the second group set off the firecrackers, and on to the third group, the connection was so natural and smooth that it can even be described as flowing clouds and flowing water.
After the third group fired the blunderbuss, the first group had finished loading, and then came forward again, then fired the blunderbuss, and then the cycle continued.
After two rounds of this, the Zhejiang army stopped shooting.
The target forest in front is already riddled with holes. There is no complete target and many targets are broken.
Cen Dalu stared dumbfoundedly at the target forest riddled with holes in the audience, breathing heavily and unable to calm down for a long time.
A kind of wolf soldiers gasped one after another.
"Is this a firearm?!"
"Firearms are so powerful?!"
"The Zhejiang Army's firearms are too scary!"
The wolf soldiers were deeply shocked and couldn't help being brought into the scene, and then their faces turned pale instantly.
If they were targets in the field, then ten lives would not be enough for the Zhejiang Army's firearms to kill them.
Originally, a group of wolf soldiers had a strong sense of superiority when facing the Zhejiang Army. Although they heard about the name of the Zhejiang Army on the way here and heard about the Zhejiang Army's successive victories against the Japanese pirates, in their view
Come on, that's because their wolf soldiers didn't come, and Tu Ling Shuzi became famous. If their wolf soldiers came, the Zhejiang army would all be pushed back. It wouldn't be just one or two steps back, but it would be far away. How could the Zhejiang army be comparable?
Get them wolf soldiers.
But today, when the Zhejiang Army held such a military parade, all the wolf soldiers no longer looked at the Zhejiang Army with the contemptuous look they had at the beginning.
Sideways glance.
careful.
And fear.
There is also a hint of happiness that they are friendly forces with the Zhejiang Army, and they are not enemies with the Zhejiang Army.
If the Zhejiang Army is opposite them, then they dare not imagine what it would be like to fight with the Zhejiang Army.
Today, the Zhejiang Army left a deep impression on Cen Dalu, Mrs. Wa, and all the wolf soldiers.
The Zhejiang Army's firearms left a deep impression on them.
"It's an eye-opener for me today. Master Zhu, the power and use of your firearms today are an eye-opener for me." Mrs. Wa came back from her trance and couldn't help but clapped her hands and sighed.
.
"Master Zhu, your firearms are so powerful, my eyes almost popped out just now." Cen Dalu finally came to his senses and sighed with emotion.
Then, Cen Dalu sighed sadly, "The only drawback is that loading firearms is too troublesome and slow."
"Don't be slow. I have seen the firearms of officers and soldiers. Master Zhu, the Zhejiang Army's firearms reload much faster than them. Moreover, the Zhejiang Army's battle formation is unique. After one group of firecrackers is fired, they retreat to reload, and the next group comes up.
Then the next group, repeating the cycle, has made up for this shortcoming to a large extent. As expected of the Zhejiang Army, which is famous for its firearms, seeing it is worse than hearing it a hundred times." Mrs. Wa's waved her hand.
"Firearms can still be improved, and the future is promising. I believe that future wars will definitely be dominated by firearms."
Zhu Pingan said with confidence.
"Future wars will be dominated by firearms. Although firearms are powerful, their shortcomings are still very obvious. If the enemy is not afraid of death, rushes into the formation brazenly, pays a certain price, rushes into your formation, and fights you face to face, then the sword is still king.
.”
"Firearms are powerful in long-distance combat, but swords are king in close combat."
Cen Dalu disagreed.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wa Shi glanced at Cen Dalu appreciatively, nodded slightly, and approved of his words.
This is the limitation of the times, don't blame them.
What I want to do is to break the limitations of the times, let China pay attention to firearms, reuse firearms, and never repeat a century-old history of humiliation.
"Then let's wait and see." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
