I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 138 Singing the Song of Killing
Zhu Yunzhen did not let the soldiers lie down like later generations.

Although he had also trained in this tactic during his training at the military academy.

But now, in the face of menacing Japanese pirates and rebels, Zhu Yunxi adopted the simplest method.

Queuing and shooting tactics.

This tactic was ridiculed by many people in later generations.

Standing there in line one by one, like a living target, allowing the enemy to attack.

However, such a "stupid" tactic has been popular for more than 200 years, which shows that it also has its own unique features.

It’s impossible that for more than 200 years, the generals and soldiers of various countries were all fools and couldn’t see the disadvantages of this tactic, right?

It was precisely because this tactic was suitable for the weapons and equipment at the time that it was widely adopted.

Zhu Yunzhen is a usurpist. He has the experience of later generations, so of course he can use it as he likes.

The new army lined up in neat rows, ready to fight.

Below the city of Jiaxing is an endless plain.

It is now past the autumn harvest season, and the crops in the fields have been harvested.

Nothing obstructs the field of view, making it perfect for gun shooting.

The army of Japanese pirates and rebels is approaching step by step.

When he saw that there was a group of hundreds of soldiers and horses under the city in front of him, and they did not enter the city to escape, the leading pirate let out a cry.

These people are not afraid of us?
Don't you run away in panic?

You know, since the Japanese pirates landed by the sea, they have hardly encountered decent resistance.

The soldiers of the Ming army who had not been on the battlefield for a long time were completely unable to fight the ferocious Japanese pirates.

This is no wonder the Ming army.

The military households of the Ming army are actually a pseudo-professional army.

Their first occupation is actually a farmer.

Being a soldier is just incidental and amateur.

After the pacification of the Southeast, none of this newly grown generation of military men had ever been on the battlefield.

What I usually do most is not military training, but farm work.

The Japanese pirates were just the opposite. Affected by the war in the Japanese kingdom, the Japanese pirates who fled to the sea were all real professional warriors.

Most of them are the elite among the elite, and this is the ability to flee thousands of miles at sea.

When a professional samurai meets an amateur military household, the outcome can be imagined.

Professionals against amateurs, in any professional field, has always been a one-sided fight.

As a result, the Japanese pirates became more and more arrogant and looked down upon the Ming army more and more.

At this time, the Japanese pirates were enraged when they saw that the Ming army did not run away but tried to resist when they saw them.

In the past, their number was small, and the Ming army even fled.

But now, they brought Zhang Shicheng's old troops, private salt dealers, and many traitors who defected to them. There are tens of thousands of them, and they are coming like a mountain. How dare this Ming army resist?
"Kill, kill them!"

The leading pirate, Miburo Okada, swung his sword and pointed forward.

In an instant, the Japanese pirates behind them uttered strange screams of terror like birdsong, and rushed towards the new army.

Generally speaking, when facing the enemy, the Japanese pirates will drive the traitors who defected to them to take the lead.

If you want to die, let them do it.

The lives of these people are worthless. Since they are the servants of the Japanese pirates, they must have the consciousness to die.

Otherwise, why keep them?

It is better to kill directly.

But today, the Japanese pirates were the first to launch an attack.

In the eyes of Sanburo Okada, the Ming army under the city should be desperate.

The Ming army in the city saw their troops coming, and was unwilling to open the city gate to let them in.

They have nowhere to go.

Such an army is very tragic.

It seems that they are not afraid of life and death, but in fact the soldiers are scared out of their wits.

They were prepared to die, but did not have the courage to fight.

Okada Saburo decided to let the servant army following them see the terrifying combat power of the Japanese warriors and massacre the Ming army in front of them.

Therefore, he let the Japanese pirates take the lead in the charge instead of the servant army.

Zhu Yunxuan watched quietly.

The Japanese pirates are getting closer and closer.

One hundred steps, seventy steps, sixty steps...

The tactics of the Japanese pirates are different from those of the Ming army.

They also use bows and arrows, but they usually don't launch a volley of arrows before launching an impact, followed by infantry phalanxes.

It's not that they don't have bows and arrows, but their bows and arrows are very different from those of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the average height of the Japanese pirates is less than 1.5 meters, all of them are pitifully short, but the bows on their backs are more than two meters long.

I don't shoot arrows easily, but the arrows I shoot are so powerful that those who hit them are almost certain to die.

But the advantage of the arrows shot by this kind of bow is that it has strong armor-piercing ability and can penetrate iron armor.

But the disadvantage is that the range is too long, so it cannot form a rain of arrows.

No matter what kind of bow shoots arrows, it is incomparable with the bullets fired by firearms.

The kinetic energy of an arrow shot from a heavy bow weighing more than 100 kilograms is only about 100 joules.

The kinetic energy of modern rifles of later generations is as high as more than 2000 joules.

Even a matchlock gun has a kinetic energy of 700 joules.

Although the flintlock guns equipped by the new army were not as good as the modern rifles of later generations, they were far stronger than matchlock guns.

As for the rear-loading gun that shoots fixed-loaded ammunition, it is even stronger.

Many people only know that the range of a bow and arrow is about [-] steps, and it can go farther when the wind is down.

Then thought the range of the gun was only four hundred paces (400 meters).

In fact, if the gun is fired obliquely to the maximum range like the arrow rain, then the maximum range of the bullets for a rifle with an effective range of 5000 steps can reach more than [-] meters.

At this distance, it is still lethal.

It's just that there is no accuracy at all, it can only hit randomly.

For the modern army that pursues accurate shooting, it is not cost-effective to do so, and the opponent will also have protection, so it is usually not used.

But this also shows the terror of firearms.

The same is true for Zhu Yunxi's new army.

"Load, raise the gun, and aim!" Zheng He gave orders in a thick voice.

Rows of new soldiers quickly loaded their ammunition and raised their guns flat.

The Japanese pirates didn't even shoot a bow and arrow, but rushed over with a knife.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the new army, these guys are all living targets.

Seeing the Japanese pirates rushing over with howls in their mouths, Zhu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it was the first time to lead troops in combat and face a real battlefield. To say that I wasn't nervous would be a lie.

Although he is very confident, the new army's equipment will definitely be a dimensionality-reducing blow against the current Japanese pirates.

But the battlefield is changing rapidly, and accidents may occur at any time.

For example, if the Japanese pirates did not take the lead in attacking, but instead ordered the army of traitors and servants to take the lead, the situation would be very unfavorable to them.

There are tens of thousands of people on the other side.

The new army's fixed ammunition only has a total of [-] rounds.

The remaining [-] flintlock guns can only be fired tens of thousands of times with the gunpowder they carry.

Even if the opponent stood there motionless and used them as targets for the new army, it was unknown whether they could all be killed.

Not to mention, there will always be many bullets missing on the battlefield.

Or shoot many bullets on a soldier.

According to statistics from later generations, the US military used an average of [-] bullets to kill an enemy during World War II.

By the time of the Korean War, this number was an average of [-] rounds.

In the Vietnam War, it became 20 rounds.

In the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there were an astonishing 25 rounds.

Of course, this is also because a large number of bullets are used for fire suppression, or because they are harassed and frightened to empty the magazine, a large number of bullets are fired into the air, forming a huge waste.

But it also shows that the consumption of bullets is astonishing.

However, in this day and age, the opponent has no guns, and there is no need to confront, evade, or suppress firepower. It is still possible to destroy an enemy with a few bullets.

The rest depends on how strong the opponent's will is and whether he will run away.

55 steps, fifty steps...

On the city wall above, Xu Dongjiang looked at this scene in horror.

He originally thought that after he refused His Majesty Taisun to enter the city, he would definitely let Jiang Yu take him to escape.

Flee quickly.

The remaining Xinjun and Jinyiwei were slaughtered by Japanese pirates and rebels.

In this way, His Royal Highness Taisun suffered a defeat, but he did not die because of it. At most, he was frightened, and it was easy for him to turn to the court.

Huang Zicheng's request was also fulfilled.

This is the best situation.

Although Xu Dongjiang was daring, he was not crazy enough to kill all his nine clans.

But His Royal Highness did not escape?
The Japanese pirates have already forced them over, and if they don't escape, it will be too late.

"Run away!" He stomped his feet fiercely, his face pale with fright.

This is a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, or young and ignorant!

If I had known His Highness Taisun had such a temper, I would rather die than retreat, and I should have let him into the city just now.

In this battle, His Highness Taisun may have died, and the goals of those in the court were achieved, but his nine clans would also have to be buried with him.

Xu Dongjiang knew very well that as long as the emperor's grandson died, those people would all pretend to be more sad than anyone else, and support His Majesty's desperate pursuit of responsibility.

Anyway, the purpose was achieved.Who cares about him, a member of the Jiaxing magistrate?
But now, it's too late to say anything.

city ​​wall.

The soldiers on guard looked at the new army below.

All of them showed admiration.

Facing the Japanese pirates who were more ferocious than wild beasts, they were able to remain unmoved.

No one was afraid, no one fled.

He just stood there, holding a weird unknown object, pointing it at the Japanese pirates.

See death as home!
How could any soldier not admire such courage?

Even the most timid and cowardly person has a heroic dream in his heart.

I also admire those heroes who are not afraid of death.

And the soldiers of the new army, at this moment, are undoubtedly heroes.

Below, the Japanese pirates have rushed in front of the new army's queue.

Thirty steps!
They saw the bayonets on the front of the guns of the New Army soldiers.

Bright and shining.

But in the eyes of Japanese pirates, it is a bit ridiculous.

Compared with the spear, it is too short, what fighting power can it have?
Twenty steps!
All it takes is one charge and he's right in front of him.

The New Army soldiers still stood there, motionless.

The guns were raised in full arms, aiming at the front.

Since the opponent didn't even shoot an arrow, but charged with a knife, let them get closer.

Seven steps away, the gun is fast.

Within seven steps, the gun was accurate and fast.

But now, the distance is only twenty steps.

The pirates are even crazier.

From their point of view, these people were terrified, they were neither willing to escape nor able to resist!
It must be.

The Japanese pirates have never seen guns, and there are only firecrackers in this era.

In their eyes, the uniform movements of the New Army soldiers were extremely funny.

"Gah!"

"Gah!"

"Gah!"

The Japanese pirates screamed strangely. In their view, they were about to have a feast of massacre.

The Japanese pirates seemed to have seen the screams of the soldiers of the Ming army, saw the heads cut off one by one by themselves, the limbs were chopped off, the belly was disembowelled, and the blood was splashed everywhere. They were even more excited because of this.

The ferocious face and distorted expression are not human at all.

Ten steps.

"shot!"

Zheng He gave a loud shout.

"Bang!" A deafening gunshot raised the already noisy battlefield to a new level of volume.

next moment.

Before the Japanese pirates came back to their senses.

Almost between lightning and flint.

The New Army soldiers opened fire.

"Bang bang bang..."

Hundreds of guns, firing simultaneously.

Bullets whizzed out, singing a grand song of killing!
