Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 128
Bo Ren was very ashamed to plead guilty to Zhang Zongxian:

"The disciple's incompetence failed to live up to the expectations of the master."

Zhang Zongxian looked at Boren's young face and the white frost on his temples.Know that he trains these cavalry very hard every day.

In the report of Yu Nong's subordinates, it was mentioned that Boren personally led the team to practice the movements required in the drill every time.Inappropriate actions need to be improved.

Even if you are injured during training, you will not rest, and you have to go to the training ground to supervise the training.

After the disciples who practiced in the academy came over, they even taught their mentors how to ride day and night.

Zhang Zongxian didn't blame Boren for the problems in today's exercise, after all, the time he gave was too short.

Such a result in a short period of time is already very good.

"Bo Ren gave you too little time as a teacher. Besides, the reason for the exercise is to find out the problem. Since there is a problem with running and marching, we should strengthen the training in this area.

Don't rush to plead guilty, we will see the truth on the battlefield. "

Then the remaining two battalions also carried out charge drills in turn.

The problem is the same, it's all because of the uneven formation caused by high or low riding skills, and the two battalions behind can't do a quick step attack well.

After the cavalry drilled the shock formation, the artillery drill changed from the marching state to the firing state.

Pulled by 36 horses, six five-pound cannons quickly entered the training ground.The ammunition cart followed closely behind.

In fact, the ammunition cart is also pulled by six horses, just to supplement these horses to pull the cannon when necessary.After all, it is a bronze cannon weighing more than 600 kilograms.

And in order to allow the artillery company to keep up with the marching speed of the cavalry, all artillery were equipped with horses.

After arriving at the designated position, the six cannons were lined up one by one, and the artillery crew quickly fixed the cannon brackets.

There are three types of ammunition for the five-jin bronze cannon: solid ammunition, blooming ammunition, and shot ammunition.

While the artillery groups were fixing the cannons, the sighting team had already begun to measure the distance and angle.

After the cannon was fixed, the company commander ordered to load the experimental ammunition.

First a soldier wets the barrel with a wool-tipped running brush.

Then another soldier used a dry running brush to soak up the moisture left behind.

Then use the turbo-shaped hook to remove the remnants of the previous shot.Of course, the above steps can be omitted when shooting for the first time.

Then successively put into charge bag and projectile.Then use the loading rod to compact the ammunition.

After that, a soldier used an awl to poke in from the ignition port to break the charge bag here, which is convenient for ignition.

Then insert and fill the gunpowder from the ignition port.This will fire it up.

After the ammunition was loaded, the cat watching team also gave the angle of distance assembly.

After the squad leader adjusted the angle and reported it, the company commander ordered to shoot.

After receiving the order, the deputy squad leader ignited the gunpowder with a lighting stick.I heard six solid balls hit the target a thousand paces away.

The solid bullet just rubbed against the grass target and shot the grass target to pieces.Six solid bullets bounced and fell on the ground at least twice.

The dense grass targets shattered six passages.

The company commander didn't care to observe the impact of the shells, and ordered to continue loading ammunition.

The six guns fired six rounds in a row, almost smashing the dense grass target.

Whether it was the disciples of the school or the cavalry who observed on the spot, they were all shocked by the power of the five-pound cannon.

After the artillery battery had finished shooting and had entered the marching state, all the people came to their senses and kept shouting "Da Ming Wan Sheng".

After the artillery drill is completed, the next step is to demonstrate some individual combat skills.

Presented immediately, such as using cold weapons or even loading, disassembling, and combining guns.

Immediate salvos were also fired.In fact, it is the most difficult thing for the horse to adapt to the sound and taste of the firecracker.

These have to be overcome one by one.

The content of the exercise is displayed here.The next step is to start the long-distance raid in the actual combat state.

After lunch, Liang Chen took the school disciples and the youth battalion to the exercise site twenty miles away.

Zhang Zongxian and the observation group are waiting to set off with the cavalry who are rushing.

An hour after the academy disciples set off, Boren gave the order to lead the cavalry regiment to the exercise site twenty miles away at full speed.

Zhang Zongxian rode a horse and led the officer corps and the rest of the cavalry to follow.As a result, problems arose from the very beginning.

Because the cavalry of the first three battalions ran too fast, the artillery company quickly opened the distance from the cavalry in front.

The artillery company commander was eager to catch up with the cavalry ahead, causing a cannon to roll over.

After Zhang Zongxian arrived with his men, the artillery company commander was rescuing the cannon.

After turning the cannon over, the wheels of the cannon were damaged and unusable.The artillery company commander scolded his mother in a hurry.

This artillery company commander was among the first batch of soldiers recruited, and he had a relatively strong learning ability, so he became the artillery company commander.

They were also the first batch of disciples accepted by Zhang Zongxian.After seeing Zhang Zongxian coming, the cavalry company commander knelt down and didn't know what to do.

In fact, Zhang Zongxian was very satisfied with the performance of the artillery company commander. He trained the artillery company very well.

For this accident, he can't be completely blamed.Zhang Zongxian rode his horse and walked up to the company commander.cursed:

"Get up for me, why kneel? You can repair the cannon by kneeling. What order did you receive?"

The artillery company commander quickly got up and replied:
"Reporting to the teacher, the disciple received the order to follow the large army to the designated battlefield in the shortest possible time."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"But the wheel of Master's cannon is broken, and it can no longer keep up. And the disciple is afraid that the other cannons will also overturn."

"The artillery group that left this cannon quickly buried the cannon, and the other artillery groups moved forward at a constant speed, not too fast, and the priority was to ensure that the cannon reached the battlefield safely."

After giving the order, Zhang Zongxian was worried about the artillery company, and left some cavalry to follow the artillery company.

When they arrived at the scheduled exercise site, the cavalry regiment had already rested for a while.

The cavalry regiment is not like other cavalry in history, one person has three horses. In the cavalry regiment, only Yebushu has one person and three horses, and its cavalry has only one horse.

Similarly, there were many problems in this raid, some fell behind, and some accidentally fell off the horse.The original goal of rushing twenty miles in half an hour was not achieved.

These Mongolian horses slowed down after running for ten miles, and it took more than half an hour to reach their destination.

Not to mention the artillery company, they didn't arrive at the training ground until an hour and a half later.

The disciples of the school and the youth battalion have already built the camp.

Boren was very frustrated and decided that he had lost face in front of the teacher today.Keep pulling this face and scolding his subordinates.

Zhang Zongxian hurried over to comfort him and told him not to care. The purpose of the exercise was to find problems and record all the problems found.

In the future, we will concentrate on training on these issues, and the purpose of the raid is also to test how far the cavalry regiment can march in a day.

These are all preparations for future operations.Let him take a good rest first, and get his spirits up for tomorrow's confrontation exercise.
