At this time, this round of shooting training has ended. The instructor is counting each person's results and recording them in the book. Shang Yi also took a general look and saw that among the thirty targets, there were almost a dozen.
The gun did not hit the target, and most of the other targets that hit the target only hit one or two, and very few hit three. However, these soldiers of the Youth Corps had only been shooting for more than ten days.
The shooting training and live-fire shooting had only lasted six or seven days, so it was not surprising that such a result occurred.
Suddenly, Shang Yi glanced around and found that all five wooden signs on a target had been hit. Shang Yi couldn't help being surprised. Although the accuracy of the bird gun was not high, it still hit the target at about forty steps.
Yes, but hitting all five shots in a live-fire exercise is a pretty good result. So Shang Yi hurriedly asked someone to find the soldier and take a look for himself.
After the instructor brought the soldier to Shang Yi, Shang Yi discovered that this man turned out to be Duan Peng.
Duan Peng, like Zhou Shaohuan, Tong Dayong, Cheng Jin, and Cheng Gang, are all teenagers from a small mountain village, and have a very good relationship with Shang Yi. But he is the youngest, not yet fifteen years old, so the others
Months later, he served as the general manager of the adult team. However, after several reorganizations of the team, Duan Peng could only stay in the youth team. In the past few months, he had not been on the battlefield once.
For this reason, he also came to Shang Yi to give him tough advice and wanted to be transferred to the adult team. However, because he was still young, his physical functions were not enough, and all technical indicators were not up to standard, so he could only stay in the youth team.
In the team, this Qing army's attack finally provided him with an opportunity.
When Shang Yi saw him, he was very happy, because he was closer to the people who came from the mountain village, and said: "Duan Peng, all five targets were hit, your shooting is good!"
Duan Peng also looked quite proud and said, "What's this? Yesterday and the day before yesterday, I hit all five targets."
Shang Yi couldn't help but be startled when he heard what he said. He asked someone to bring his shooting record to see for himself. Seeing the above record, Duan Peng conducted live-fire training for seven days. In the first two days, he only had one or two targets.
Then it rose rapidly. The first five-target appeared the day before yesterday. Yesterday, I shot two five-targets and one four-target. Today, for the first time of live fire shooting, I hit another five-target. Shang Yi couldn't help but feel a little fond of him.
She looked at him with admiration, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Duan Peng, I didn't expect you to have the talent of a sniper, that's great!"
Although Duan Peng knew that Shang Yi was praising him, he was a little embarrassed and asked: "What is a sniper?"
Shang Yi explained: "It means sharpshooter, sharpshooter. You play two more rounds and let me take a look."
Seeing what Shang Yi said, the instructors immediately added another target to Duan Peng and asked him to test-shoot with the soldiers in the next round. After two more rounds, Duan Peng hit another four-target target.
A five-target mark proved that his results were indeed no fluke.
But at this moment, an idea flashed in Shang Yi's mind. He knew that in the Qing army, soldiers at all levels wore different clothes and armor, especially those of Niulu, Jiala, and Gushan.
It is even more obviously different from ordinary soldiers. In today's war, doing so is of course very dangerous, because it is easy to become the target of the enemy. However, the penetrating power of ancient bows and arrows is not strong, and at least the Qing army wore
It has two layers of armor, so it won't have much impact. However, if you train a few snipers to specifically target Qing army officers at all levels in battle, you might be able to achieve a surprise victory.
The range and accuracy of bird guns are naturally not suitable for use as sniper rifles, but Shang Yi has more than a hundred Lumi guns on hand. Both the range and accuracy are much higher than bird guns. A few of them are well-made.
The effective firing range of the Rumi Gun can reach between 120 and 130 steps, which is almost a distance of 200 meters. This is close to the rifles used by the British in the Opium War later.
Although the main formation of the Qing Army will not be so close, during the war, officers of the Qing Army at all levels will personally go into battle and charge with the army, so they can be used as sniper rifles of this era. If in battle, the Qing Army's
If officers at all levels were suddenly shot to death, it wouldn't be a big mess.
Thinking of this, Shang Yi immediately called Luo Yuanbin and asked him to immediately arrange for all the Musketeers' training records and the youth team's performance records to be sent to his home, and also asked him to choose between twenty and thirty from the Rumi Guns.
The most well-made ones with the longest range. And the users of these Rumi guns all used the newly made Muling guns.
That night, Shang Yi went through everyone's shooting training records and selected the thirty soldiers with the best results. Among them were eighteen musketeers and twelve young soldiers. Each of them had a high hit rate.
It is above 80%, and many people even reach 90%, and in the past five days, they have hit all five targets no less than three times.
The next day Shang Yi gathered these people together and gave each person a Rumi gun. They first conducted three days of long-distance shooting training. The shooting range was at least a hundred steps. At this distance, the average hit rate was
It fell below 50%. However, Shang Yi was not surprised by this. The range of Bijing and the guns used had changed, and it was the first time for most people to use Lumi gun. It would be surprising that the results did not drop.
However, each team member can get thirty live-fire shooting practice opportunities every day, and after becoming familiar with the performance of Lumi gun and adapting to the new distance, the hit rate is gradually improving. By the third day, the team's
The hit rate is more than 60%. However, the degree of improvement is different for each person. Some people only have a slight improvement, while others have a substantial improvement. However, Shang Yi is very satisfied with this result.
Shang Yi then conducted a formal test on them and selected 12 people to form a sniper team. Each of them had a hit rate of over 70%, while Duan Peng hit 52 out of 60 shots.
He is the youngest sniper in the team. In addition to Duan Peng, there are two other members of the youth team selected for the sniper team. This result has once again proved that
, in the shooting aspect, the difference between adults and teenagers is really not that big.
After the roster of team members was determined, Shang Yi immediately began a new round of training for the sniper team. Although Shang Yi was not a sniper, he had also played with sniper rifles and received sniper training, so he was comfortable training snipers. First, he would shoot.
The distance is also divided into four distance sections: one hundred steps, one hundred and ten steps, one hundred and twenty steps, and one hundred and thirty steps. You must be accustomed to shooting in various postures such as standing, squatting, lying down, etc., and at the same time
You also need to practice your patience and resistance to interference.
Xiao Wenjun and Han Zhi also witnessed Shang Yi's entire process from selection to formation to training of the sniper team. Although they still cannot fully understand the reason why he did this, judging from the rigor of selection and training, Shang Yi
Yi's reputation for being good at using firecrackers is really not just a boast.
At this moment, new news came from the reconnaissance team, and the Qing army came again.
It turned out that after Tugel received the order from Ayita, he immediately began to recruit troops.
This time to attack the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties dispatched a total of four banners of Manchuria, Mongolia, and Han troops, totaling about 60,000 people. In addition to nearly 40,000 Mongolian troops from the outer vassals, the total force exceeded 100,000. Among them, the Manchurian Eight Banners dispatched Zhengbai.
There are four banners: white, pure blue and blue, with a total of 137 cows, more than 5,000 armored soldiers, more than 8,000 auxiliary soldiers, and more than 20,000 followers and coats.
After the Qing army captured Yanzhou, the army was divided into eight groups. Only one group stayed in Jinan Prefecture, and the remaining seven groups attacked Dengzhou, Laizhou, Haizhou, Jianghuai and other places to rob people, materials, money and food.
After Abatai gave the order to Tugel, he immediately recruited troops from nearby Yanzhou and other places. It took ten days to gather three banners: Zhengbai, Xiangbai and Xianglan, a total of 27 Niulu.
There are more than 1,800 armored soldiers, more than 2,500 auxiliary soldiers, and more than 5,000 followers and coats. There are also ten Mongolian oxen, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and 20 Han oxen.
There are more than 12,000 troops and more than 26,000 troops in total, accounting for more than a quarter of the total force of this attack on Ming Dynasty.
Concentrating such a huge force to deal with the Ming army had only happened three years ago to encircle and annihilate Lu Xiangsheng and the battle of Songshan. But against the insignificant Muling Pass, it was simply killing a chicken with a knife.
Even so, Abatai was still uneasy, and was afraid of the fierce weapons of the Ming army, so he gave Tugel twelve artillery pieces, all of which were stolen from the Ming army during the looting at this time.
Among them were three medium-sized Fran cannons, five small Fran cannons, four squatting tiger cannons, more than 2,000 kilograms of gunpowder, and 300 solid bullets. After preparing these, Tugel and Bolo
Then he led his troops and set off.
Turge was a man who had experienced many battles. When Nurhachi was still there, he followed Nurhaci in the east and west, and he was very cautious. Therefore, after the Qing army arrived in Yishui County, Turge did not arrive.
Anxious to attack the city, they first sent out reconnaissance cavalry to observe the movement of Muling Pass. At the same time, they also inquired around the county town about the origins of Shang Yi, the defender of Muling Pass.
The residents of Yishui County also know a little about Shang Yi. Although there are many legends among them, some people even say that Shang Yi is the descendant of Shang Ren, a famous official in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, etc., but the Qing army is
I also found out the true portrait of Liu Qi Cheng.
After Turge received these information, he analyzed them carefully and found that Shang Yi's deeds in recent years, such as running a militia and fighting bandits and bandits, although there are different opinions, are generally similar. But before that, Shang Yi
His hometown address, his life story, and his study and growth process are all strange and inconsistent. Turg also felt that it was a bit incomprehensible, as if Shang Yi suddenly appeared overnight.
However, after learning about these situations, the mystery surrounding Shang Yi has become much less. At least, it is certain that he can train a militia group to withstand the Qing army's attack in just a few months. This person is quite capable.
Different from ordinary.
But after waiting for three days, the spies who went to explore Muling Pass did not come back. Both Turge and Bolo couldn't wait any longer. At the same time, they also estimated that something had happened to Tan Jie. Fortunately, Luntai and other remnants of the last attack on Muling Pass
They all went out together, and many people had been to Muling Pass, so they decided not to wait any longer and immediately sent troops to attack Muling Pass.
