Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 987

The response of the boss of the ship is not insignificant. However, it takes time for the ship to unplug the anchor, raise the sails, put the oarsman in place and start rowing, etc. It takes time.
Seeing the soldiers approaching quickly, and the ship under his feet was just less than a leap away from the shore, Zhang Wanbang, a young but experienced Xuanda Titan, shouted decisively: "Soldiers riding abandoned horses! Line up on the edge of the bulwark, line up guns three times... get ready for a second strike!"

Originally, what he has practiced the most recently is the three-stage strike, that is, the three-row line-up shooting combat method developed by Gao Yushi, so he almost said it just now.

However, sometimes wars can’t be done mechanically. In the current situation, the cavalry guards under his command only have 50 people. If they are divided into three rows, each row has less than 20 people. The power of the volley is too small. , so he temporarily changed his words and turned it into a two-stage attack.

In fact, even the two-stage attack, the number of people is not enough, but there is no way, there are no semi-automatic rifles, automatic rifles or even assault rifles these days, the reload speed is too impressive, and the two-stage attack can barely maintain One shot-wait a minute-play this rhythm again.

And if after firing all the rounds, wait for this group of people to load their own ammunition before firing the second round, the interval between them will be too long. Even if the Mongols rushed to the shore, even if they couldn't get on the boat, it would be enough to launch several rounds of shooting , within such a short distance, the Mongols can use armor-piercing arrows, not to mention those Jinghua boatmen who don't wear armor, even if they are dismounted cavalry with armor, they can't stand it. In that case, the casualties will become It's completely out of control.

Zhang Wanbang's servants used to lead the boat with horses by themselves, and ran to the place arranged by the boat boss to appease the war horses who didn't like to board the boat. At this time, Zhang Wanbang called out, tied up the horses one after another, and hurriedly fired bullets They ran back to the bulwarks at the edge of the deck to line up, and some of the servants who were most proficient in firearms even started to prepare to load ammunition while running.

Zhang Wanbang's previous position was not very high, and he often rushed to the front line, so this time, with only 50 people under his command, he simply took on multiple roles, not only as the "commander in chief", but also as the commander. Seeing the two rows of people stand upright, they immediately shouted: "Load ammunition and ammunition - the first row goes forward, target the Tartars on the shore, prepare for salvo! The second row is ready to load!"

At this time, the striker of the Huahua Department was less than two hundred steps away from them.

Even infantry, it doesn't take long to walk two hundred steps, let alone cavalry under acceleration.

Zhang Wanbang's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a cold and stern cold light, he slowly drew out his waist knife expressionlessly, held it high above his head, suddenly pressed it forward, and shouted angrily like a thunderbolt in his mouth: "First Platoon—fire!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!
There was a series of gunshots as fast as fried beans, and the Duo soldiers who had rushed to less than fifty steps from the shore and were slowing down made the first batch of test products.

This is the first time that the Wanli-style cavalry version was used as a pure rifle for shooting battles.

The loss of Duo's soldiers was not serious. Seven people were shot and fell off their horses. Their lives and deaths were uncertain. Four horses were shot, and they fell to the ground and the riders on the horses were thrown off the horses.

Even if all those who fell from the horse were treated as dead in battle, the shooting hit rate this time was only over [-]%, and when the shooting was fired this time, the opponent was only sixty or seventy steps away from the warship. It stands to reason that this is already an excellent shooting distance However, because of the four shallow straight rifling lines in the barrel of the Wanli Type [-], the hit rate at this distance is actually quite high.

However, Zhang Wanbang did not blame his servant for being useless, because he knew that the main reason for the obvious drop in shooting accuracy compared with training was the ship.

Although Jinghua's gunboat is indeed a big ship on the Liaohe River, the river will still cause the hull to rise and fall, and there is rain today, and when there is rain, there will be wind. If there is wind, it will cause a drop in shooting accuracy. It will also increase the ups and downs of the ship.

Adding all the conditions together, it is already extremely rare to have a hit rate of more than [-]%. No matter how picky it is, it is completely picky.

Zhang Wanbang is not a first-time brother on the battlefield. As a mid-level officer in the first batch of re-equipment troops in the first Wanli style, he is familiar enough with firearms to not make such common-sense mistakes.

So his face remained unchanged, and he didn't even care about the short-term panic of the soldiers on the opposite side after being baptized by this "strong firepower" for the first time, but continued to order coldly: "The first row retreats and reloads, Second row forward, guns aimed, ready-fire!"

Unlike the Xin'ai and Chahar tribes who had already experienced Wanli's hardships, it was the first time for the cavalry of the Chaohua tribe to suffer such "beatings". During the second wave of firing, they rushed closer in a panic. Some of the people at the front had even reached the shore, while Jinghua's gunboat "floated" about [-] steps away from the center of the river accordingly. Therefore, the distance between the two sides was closer when they fired this time, and in fact it did not exceed [-] steps. step.

There was another volley of gunfire, and the cavalry of Duoyan's tribe fell 14 people and five horses in response!The shooting accuracy rate of the Ming army has suddenly increased to [-]%!
Chaohua Taiji himself rushed forward at the beginning, because he had never seen the power of the Wanli Type I before today. Ninety percent of his knowledge of the firepower level of the Ming army came from the three-eyed weapon popular in the northern frontier army in the past. [-]% of the blunderbuss comes from the Longqing II style equipped at the turn of Longwan.

However, the total equipment of the Longqing II type was not very large, and at that time the "Xihuai" was more important than the "East system", and the prerequisite for the success of the "Xihuai", according to Gao Gong, was to have a strong army first. , so that Tumed did not dare to hope to force Daming to agree to open the border market. Therefore, at that time, Longqing's second style of clothing was inclined towards Xuanda Shanxi. Until later, Tumed became more and more honest and content with maintaining the existing In this situation, horses, equipment and other materials were only transferred to Jiliao.

What's more, the small amount of Longqing Type [-] muskets equipped in Liaodong was basically used by Li Chengliang to equip his own servants and those of other generals, so when Chaohua faced a small "exploring horse", he didn't expect it The opponent will come out in a musket formation—let alone on a boat.

Therefore, Zhang Wanbang's first salvo almost directly "rolled" Chaohua Taiji. This is also the main reason for the confusion in the forward cavalry of the Chaohua department just now-they were afraid that Chaohua would be killed on the spot, so they hurriedly guarded the army. He was sent into the rear formation.

At that time, Chaohua himself was still in shock, and he didn't have time to think about other things for a while. He didn't get angry until after the second round of salvo. Why did the Ming army's firearms change again?Or is it that when Lao Tzu kicked the iron board, the servant of a certain important person was in front of him?
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something: It is rumored that Jinghua is the largest firearms supplier in the Ming Dynasty, so Gao Yushi's own bodyguard Ding has always been equipped with the best and latest firearms, and now the firearms on the opposite side are so excellent, and at the same time With such a big ship, could it be that the person on board...is him?
Chao Hua's eyes brightened, and he yelled: "Shoot! Let me shoot the armor-piercing arrows in the front line! Try to shoot rockets in the back line! I want to keep this ship!"
