Chapter 754: Musketeer tactics and show strength

With pleasure, Kong Tai suddenly remembered that it seemed that the advantages of the matchlock had not yet been fully demonstrated. So, he asked to show three shots of the matchlock.

"What is the three-stage strike?" Zuo Buzheng asked Shen Rui doubtfully. Obviously, he is not clear.

But Liu Meng was excited:

"Is it King Qianning (Mu Ying) 's three-step method?"

"King Qianning?" Shen Rui didn't remember for a moment which lord was called King Qianning. After all, Mu family called Mu Ying the prince, and hereditary descendants were Xiping Hou.

"It's Mu's ancestor," Liu Meng said and pointed to the direction of Yunnan to the west. Shen Rui suddenly realized.

Kong Tai had been confessed by Marin, so he knew how to make Daming happy:

"It was the three-segment attack invented by Lord Mu, Xiaoyao Zi said that he traveled to Taixi, taught my lord to speak Chinese, helped my lord improve the fire, and by the way taught the three-segment method of King Qianning to my lord. "

"Then give it a try!" Liu Meng said impatiently.

In order to fully demonstrate the firepower, Kong Tai arranged 30 musketeers, arranged in three rows, to demonstrate three-stage blows.

But before shooting, these musketeers put a lot of refusal horses in front of the battlefield.

"Well, your army really knows how to play, and knows to put down a horse before the battle." Liu Meng stroked his beard and nodded in praise.

"There are many cavalry in the land of Taisi, and almost every state has cavalry. If you let the enemy's cavalry rush into the musketeer formation, they will definitely be slaughtered. Therefore, the musketeer must put the horse in front of the formation. There will be a spearman cover. If the enemy infantry rushes up, the musketeers will retreat into the formation and change the spearman to fight with the enemy. "Kong Tai introduced according to the tips on the book.

Not only that, Kong Tai also let people take 20 spears from the boat and let the sailors stand on both sides of the musketeers with long hairs, making a guard. Obviously, this is to demonstrate tactics to Daming.

However, the civilian officials and soldiers at the scene focused their attention on the length of the spear:

"Oh, the hairs of these ghosts are so long!" Some civil servants exclaimed.

Of course they are long. These spears are about 4 meters long. Although it has been truncated from 6 meters to 4 millers, it is still much longer than Daming's spear. Daming spears are generally about 2 meters in length, which is half the length of these spears.

But at this time, the Guangzhou avant-garde commander Xu Yong disdain:

"How can you move flexibly with such a long spear? If you meet a flexible opponent, you will definitely have to fail."

According to the requirements of Chinese Martial Arts, the length of the spear is generally the same as the total length of the user's right hand after standing. In this way, it is more suitable for the martial arts of spears, which can be moved around and flexible. If it is too long, you lose flexibility. Xu Yong obviously knows martial arts, so he disdains Beihai's too long spear.

But Kong Tai explained:

"General Xu, you are talking about generals who understand martial arts. In fact, the spears in the country are all the lowest-level infantry, and they are not capable of martial arts. They do n’t need a person to show their majesty, as long as they poke the spear. . "

"What if the enemy dodges?" Xu Yong asked.

"So you see our spearmen, they are all close together. Countless spears poke forward together, and the left and right can't flash at all."

"In addition, the spear is so long, in fact, to deal with the cavalry charge."

"To deal with cavalry?" Liu Meng immediately came to the spirit. You know, in the end of Daming Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry in Saibei has always been Daming's number one confidant. Meeting in the wild, facing the charge of the Mongolian cavalry, the Ming army would be slaughtered seven times out of ten. If there is a method of restraint, it is definitely a blessing to the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, Master Liu!" Kong Tai cleared his throat, and then quietly turned over the book given by Marin.

After a while, I introduced:

"If faced with a cavalry charge, the spearman can squat down, insert the rear end of the spear in the soil, and move it diagonally forward. Standing on the ground, the opposite cavalry rushed over, and they must first be equipped with a spear. Then, the horse was stabbed, and the enemy cavalry fell. The rest of our spearmen could stabb the fallen enemy.

Liu Meng made a gesture and found that if the spear is 4 meters long, it can really do it. Moreover, if the spear is inserted obliquely on the ground, even if the opponent's cavalry hits it, the force will be transmitted to the ground without hitting the infantry holding the spear

But Xu Yong, the avant-garde commander of Guangzhou, interjected:

"However, the Mongolian cavalry is good at riding and shooting. They set arrows at a distance, how to crack?"

Kong Tai is not in a hurry, because Marlin ’s book has stated:

"General Xu, have you forgotten our matchlock? They have a bow, we have a matchlock! Do not believe it, please see its power"

Then, with a single order, 30 matchlock gunmen were divided into three groups, and a three-stage performance was started

At this time, the 40-step target had not been removed, and was put back in place. The shooters who performed the three-stage strike began to line up to shoot

After the 10 musketeers in the first row of "Bang Bang Bang" were aiming, at the command of the commander, they dumped the bullets to the target ahead

Then, the first row of musketeers retreated sideways from a 1 meter wide interval to the end. The second row of musketeers reached the forefront. After standing in the position, the smoke from the first row of musketeers' shots also dissipated, and you could see the front. Then, the commander ordered a fire, and the musketeers in the second row also pulled the trigger, driving the fire rope into the medicine pool, which inspired the musket.

Just as the second row shot forward, the musketeers in the first row had arrived behind and started the work of loading ammunition. When the second row receded, they were still filling. But when the third row came forward and retreated, the musketeers in the first row were roughly loaded. After a few breaths, the first row was finally filled, came to the front, raised the matchlock, and under the command of the officer, started a new round of shooting

In this way, the three-row musketeers carried out a relatively coherent and smooth three-stage blow, which dazzled the Ming officials and soldiers who were present.

"Sure enough, it was the three-stroke attack invented by King Qianning, so sharp!" Liu Meng heartily praised. Yes, the credit goes to Daming Qianning Wang Muying

"King Qianning is sharp!" The Daming civil servant present also praised. They will not praise Fan Bang, but praise the famous general of this dynasty. In Guangdong, if a person is praised for being so powerful, he will say, "It's so sharp!" Even Liu Meng and other foreign officials have been affected.

But at this time, Li Sanshui, the 100 households in charge of the Huohu team of the entire 1000 households, was puzzled:

"Senior Kong (Kong Tai), I only need 30 breaths for your armored ammunition, but our military is loaded with ammunition, and the gun barrel is shorter, but it needs more than 60 breaths. Why? You know, putting lead bombs in the gun barrel Trouble, it takes a lot of time "

As a professional, Li Sanshui found that these musketeers from the North Sea country seemed to be very easy to load lead bullets into the barrel. So relaxed, Li Sanshui suspects that these lead bullets are smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel. However, as a result, would n’t there be a gas leak, which would affect the range? However, these North Sea countries ’flames have a clear range.

Liu Meng heard the question from professional Li Sanshui and looked at it closely.

Kong Tai listened to Li Sanshui's question and reached out. So, an idle musketeer by the side came with a musket gun. Kong Tai, the result is a matchlock gun, indicating that the musketeer took the ammunition

After pouring gunpowder powder and tamping it with a stick, he took the lead from his purse

"Li Baihu, please read it!"

Li Sanshui and Liu Meng stared at each other, but when they saw Kong Tai took out a small piece of paper. The piece of paper glowed with oil, it looks like oiled paper

Then, Kong Tai wrapped the lead bullet with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel with oil paper, put it into the muzzle, and then easily pressed it to the end with a strip.

After that, Kong Tai explained:

"Li Baihu, lead bullets in the barrel, the most chance is not to hold your breath. Otherwise, it will affect the range. Therefore, my Lord invented a small lead bullet wrapped in oil paper or deer skin ten years ago, and then pressed Way to get into the barrel. "

"In this way, it is much simpler to push the lead bullet into the barrel. Look, did I press the lead bullet to the bottom just in one go? If I use a lead bullet that fits the inside diameter of the barrel, I want to press it to the bottom. That would be difficult, and it would be very time-consuming to use a hammer to press the rod into it, which is very time-consuming. The method of wrapping oil paper or deerskin can save tens of interest time and greatly speed up the filling! "

"It is precisely because of this powerful invention of our lord that our musketeers have greatly increased their combat power. Ten years ago, our lord ’s territory was less than the size of a county. Now, our lord ’s territory is large enough to be half the size. Hu (Fu) Jian is so big! "Kong Tai said proudly.

"Ah, half Hu Jian?" Liu Meng was shocked. But he had participated in politics in Hu Jian. He knew that there were 69 counties in 10 provinces and 2 states. Is it half as big as Hu Jian, is it not as big as more than 30 counties?

You know, Da Ming ’s princes ’enclave is not that big. It seems that this North Sea country is still strong

"Yes, our country is now divided into eight provinces in East Friesland, West Friesland, Oldenburg, Bremen, Schleswig, Jutland, North Münster and South Münster. Of course, ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ China ’s provinces are definitely not as big as Daming ’s provinces, and 8 provinces add up to only half of Hu Jian ’s. "

"It's already very big!" Liu Meng is very clear that this area is more than ten times larger than the Ryukyu Islands of the Ming Dynasty. He had also mixed in Hu Jian, and the place of tribute trade of the Ryukyu nation was in Fuzhou. Liu Meng had dealt with the Ryukyu people for this and knew the situation there. However, the Ryukyu Kingdom was ruled by the court, and the area of ​​Beihai was larger than that of the princes of Daming. Of course, except for the vassal territory that Zhu Yuanzhang divided in the early Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's son is very generous, and he has a large land area. For example, King Qin, King Jin, King Qing, and King Su (the latter two have the largest enclosed areas, but they are barren and belong to the desolate northwestern region). Later, the prince, the territory was much smaller and hungry, generally only a land of a state or a state. Like Marin ’s territory, it is almost as big as 5 houses, far exceeding the Ming prince territory after the Zhu Yuanzhang period.

"In this way, this kind of firecracker and its tactics are very powerful!" Shen Rui exclaimed.

"My Lord is willing to dedicate all of this to the Ming court and become a Ming vassal. May Ming be more prosperous!"

"good!"

"Dashan!"
