"Bang, bang, bang, bang--" There was a loud sound of gunfire and smoke filled the air. Seventy paces away, the thick wooden target that had been erected had been smashed into pieces.
"stop!"
Following Luo Yuanbin's order, the musketeers also stopped and continued firing, and came to report their results to him one after another. The musketeers used bird blunderbuss to shoot, and used a clock provided by Arconia to time the shooting in three minutes.
Within a certain period of time, the soldier who fired the fastest could shoot seven times, and the lowest one could shoot four times. On average, he could shoot more than once in one minute.
In addition to training veterans in mountain and jungle combat capabilities, Shang Yi also attaches great importance to the training of musketeers. After all, this arm will be the development trend of the future army, and it is also the arm that he will inevitably focus on in the future.
The training plan for the musketeers was formulated by Shang Yi, Luo Yuanbin and Sun Heding through consultation. Of course, Shang Yi knew that the accuracy of muskets in this era was limited, so he did not pursue the hit rate of the soldiers, but only required that each soldier could use the fastest weapon.
The faster the bullet is fired, the faster the better. Luo Yuanbin and Sun Heding also agreed with Shang Yi's training goals, so the first step was to train each soldier's individual reloading and firing capabilities.
Since the current number of fire blunderbuss is limited, and the blunderbuss tubes have a limited service life, and the Rumi blunderbuss is too expensive, every soldier is trained with bird blunderbuss and can only practice live ammunition shooting ten times a day. At that time, other
During the time, the soldiers also have to hold the empty gun and continue to practice a series of actions such as loading, filling, compacting, and igniting until they are so proficient that they can operate smoothly even with their eyes closed.
Complete this series of actions to do this.
At this time, the nearly one hundred fire guns that were basically completely scrapped became the best training tools and the best use of waste. Therefore, although the training lasted only more than ten days, the soldiers' training
However, the amount of training was much greater than that of any musketry team before the Ming Dynasty. Under such repeated practice, the soldiers became increasingly proficient in their movements, and the shooting speed increased from two or three shots in three minutes at the beginning to
current level.
Luo Yuanbin was very satisfied with this result. He believed that even among the entire Ming army, the performance of the Mu Ling Army was considered outstanding. And it only took more than ten days of training for the musketeers he brought to
Reaching this level is enough to be proud of.
Therefore, Luo Yuanbin came excitedly to report to Shang Yi the current achievements of the Musketeers, and the proud look on his face was beyond words.
After listening to his report, Shang Yi did not comment, but asked Luo Yuanbin to go back and prepare. Later, he would go to watch the firing training of the musketeers in person.
After receiving Shang Yi's instructions, Luo Yuanbin immediately returned to the training ground and immediately began to set up. He first selected 60 soldiers with fast firing speeds. Each of them could fire more than five times in three minutes. Several of them could fire more than five times in three minutes.
He could reach seven times in three minutes. At the same time, he ordered people to set up targets. After everything was done, Shang Yi also came to the training ground.
But Shang Yi didn't come alone. He also brought all four youth teams. After arriving at the training ground, the youth team was behind the musketeers and also erected wooden figures for training spear thrusts. It looked like
It's time to start spear stabbing training.
Shang Yi did not care about the arrangement of the youth team, but said to Luo Yuanbin: "President Luo, can we start?"
Luo Yuanbin didn't understand why Shang Yi brought the youth team to the Musketeers' training ground. But he didn't want to ask in detail. When Shang Yi asked him if he could start, he immediately said: "Don't worry, sir, we can start now."
.”
Shang Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started."
Luo Yuanbin immediately ordered everyone else to withdraw from the target, and ordered the selected musketeers to enter the preparation position. Then he looked at the clock and said loudly: "Musketeers prepare - start."
I saw each musketeer take out a small bamboo tube and steel balls containing a certain amount of gunpowder from his shoulder bag, and then very skillfully pour the gunpowder and steel balls into the tube gun and compact it.
However, at this moment, an unexpected situation occurred. Just as the musketeers were reinforcing their strength, the youth team behind them also began to practice spear stabbing. Sixty soldiers stood in a row, raised their spears, and fired at twenty
He sprinted away from the humanoid target a few steps away, shouting "Kill - kill - kill -"
In the sudden shouts from behind, the musketeers who were loading ammunition were obviously greatly affected. Many of them could not hold their hands steadily and spilled the gunpowder. Even if they could accurately pour the gunpowder into the musket tube, the speed would be very low.
The frequency slowed down, and accidents continued to occur during subsequent compaction, lead wire, ignition and other procedures.
Seeing this scene, Luo Yuanbin couldn't help but sweat profusely. He looked at the clock and saw that thirty seconds had passed. Unexpectedly, not one of the musketeers could complete the first shot. And among the musketeers,
Behind him, the young soldiers were still practicing spear stabbing, and the sound of "kill-kill-kill-" and the sound of rapidly running footsteps continued to be heard.
It wasn't until almost a minute before someone fired the first shot, and then gunshots were heard one after another. After shooting the first shot, the musketeers immediately started taking medicine, loading ammunition, filling the gun, etc.
process, preparing for the second shot.
When the three minutes were up, only eight of the sixty musketeers who participated in the shooting exercise had fired five times. Most of the others had completed three or four shots, and three of them had only fired two.
The gun. Compared with the usual training, it can be said that it is far below the standard. At this time, the youth group was still practicing spear stabbing.
Luo Yuanbin stood in front of Shang Yi, looking down at Shang Yi. The sixty musketeers who participated in the shooting exercise also looked ashamed, but many of them had angry expressions on their faces.
Apparently he thought that Shang Yi brought the youth team to interfere with their shooting drills, which caused him to be unable to perform to his normal level.
Shang Yi said at this time: "I know that you have been practicing very hard and hard for a while, and your grades have improved very quickly. And you are not satisfied with the shooting drill just now, and you think I should not let the youth team go."
It will bring interference to you. And I also believe that without the interference of the youth team, you will never achieve the results you have now. But you must also understand that your current training is to go to the battlefield to face the enemy in the future. You must know the enemy
They will not give you a quiet shooting environment. They will not only interfere with you, but they will also kill you in front of you and shoot arrows at you. If you can't stand even the slightest interference now, then going to the battlefield will be a dead end.
One. So you still need to continue to practice hard and practice in an environment with various interferences."
After listening to Shang Yi's words, the soldiers who were still a little angry just lowered their heads. Luo Yuanbin then looked up at Shang Yi and said: "Sir, I understand what you mean. You really have good intentions. But please.
Don't worry, sir, I have learned what to do. Ten days later, if we invite you to watch our shooting drill, you will not be disappointed again."
Shang Yi also nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you can do it."
Of course Shang Yi knew that training in silence and a real battlefield are two different things, so in ordinary training, he always insisted on training to simulate actual combat. Before he traveled through the universe, the great country of the era had a tradition in the Olympic Games.
His strength is archery. Ju said that in order to improve the athletes' anti-interference ability during competitions, recorded live noise will be inserted on the training ground during daily training, and the sound is louder than the actual scene. Therefore, in archery
Only by doing this project can we continue to prosper. Although Shang Yi doesn't have a good impression of the great powers in the universe, he has to admit that their harsh training methods are indeed very effective and worth learning from.
In the following time, he and Luo Yuanbin also tried various methods to improve the anti-interference ability of the musketeers. They used all kinds of methods such as beating gongs and drums. They also specially hired people to shout "Kill" beside them.
"Come on," and the like. We even made a few armored vehicles that couldn't be penetrated by muskets. When the musketeers were practicing shooting, they were pushed towards the musketeers.
Under such rigorous training, the musketeers' anti-interference ability is also increasing day by day.
While Shang Yi was supervising the training of musketeers, he did not relax in the production and repair of fire muskets. At present, the blacksmith shop has not started to make new fire muskets, and they are basically focusing on repair work, and Sun and Ding are working hard every day.
I also spent time in the blacksmith shop and personally supervised the quality of the repairs.
At present, the Muling Army has two kinds of fire guns, namely the bird gun and the Lumi gun. In comparison, the structure of the bird gun is relatively simple. The main purpose is to make the gun tube. First, after the wrought iron is reddened,
Beat it on a steel core and roll it into an iron tube shape. After cooling, wrap it in several layers and beat it carefully. When it reaches a certain thickness, you can pull out the steel core and a section of the blunderbuss tube is completed.
After several sections of blunderbuss tubes are completed, they must be welded one by one. This process is the most critical. If the welding is not done well, it will be easy to blast and boring. After the blunderbuss tubes are welded, they must be welded together.
The steel cone is used to drill out the blunderbuss bore, and then the center of the blunderbuss is drilled out. Then the inside of the blunderbuss hole is scraped clean with steel bars, and then various assemblies are carried out. Sometimes the production of a blunderbuss tube can take up to a month. Therefore,
Ninety percent of the quality of a bird gun depends on the quality of the gun tube, and ninety percent of the quality of the gun tube depends on the quality of the welding.
However, such a process is time-consuming and requires very high skills from the blacksmiths. There are more than 40 blacksmiths in Mulingguan, and less than 10 of them are capable of making gun tubes. In this era, there are
This simple mechanical drilling machine can directly drill and grind the gun tube. Both in terms of efficiency and accuracy, it is much better than making it by hand. Although Sun Heding knows how to use this mechanical drilling machine, Mulinguan has not yet had time to use it.
Mechanical drilling machine, so it can only be built by hand.
However, Shang Yi understood from his own information that in this era, the barrels of European muskets and Japanese iron cannons were directly knocked out layer by layer on a steel core without welding. Such barrels
The barrel is thicker than that of Chinese muskets, so the range is shorter. The effective range is about 60 to 70 steps. If you want to penetrate triple armor, you can only do it within 50 steps.
However, since the blunderbuss tube does not need to be welded, it cannot be exploded. Moreover, the blunderbuss tube is thicker, requires more gunpowder, and is more powerful. At the same time, the production process and time are much simpler, and ordinary blacksmiths can make it.
, and it only takes more than ten days to make a gun tube.
