Chapter 9 Training the Bird Gun Team

"Listen, I believe you have heard of the three-stage burst shooting method used by King Mu in the past. Since King Mu used it, Chengzu defeated Mongolia five times, and the firearms troops also used the three-stage burst shooting method more often. Since the beginning of the founding of the country, the firearms equipped by our army have undergone major changes. Now the shooting speed and power of this bird gun have been greatly improved compared with the beginning of the founding of the country. Therefore, the third stage of King Mu The method of hitting should also be improved, now, I will demonstrate it for you personally, you, you, step forward."

Xiao Ruxun decided to demonstrate the three-stage attack by himself, so that every soldier could see clearly, so he called two soldiers to come forward and demonstrate with him.

The goal is a wooden sign eighty steps ahead.

Xiao Ruxun first took a blunderbuss, and then began to load the ammunition, and asked the other two soldiers to line up behind him at two positions. He first aimed at the wooden sign and lit the matchlock.

"Mr. Wang Qian, come and shout the launch password!"

After Xiao Ruxun ordered so, Wang Hui nodded, raised his hand, and then waved: "Let go!"

Xiao Ruxun pulled the trigger and closed his eyes. With a bang, the lead bullets were fired. Xiao Ruxun opened his eyes and saw that there was a hole in the wooden sign.

"The general is mighty!"

The pawns shouted in unison.

Smiling and waving his hands, Xiao Ruxun took the bird gun and said to the gun pawn behind him: "After I finish this round, I will quickly go around to reload the ammunition at the end, and you will move forward the moment I leave. Standing at my original position, I will retreat to the end and start loading ammunition to prepare to launch, and you will step forward to aim and launch. Since the three-stage rotation method is to rotate on the spot, the entire formation does not need to move forward or backward. Move, so after the front row retreats, the rear row must follow up immediately, and there must be no slack in the slightest, otherwise the formation will be chaotic, and you will undoubtedly lose. remember!"

"promise!"

The gunmen shouted in unison.

"Okay, now I step back to the third place, you take the next step, and you take the next step. I will load the ammunition at the end. While loading the ammunition, when you finish shooting, you move forward. Even if the ammunition is not fully loaded, I will still go forward. , maintain the formation, of course, on the battlefield, I will arrange auxiliary soldiers to reload ammunition behind your formation, but once the auxiliary soldiers can’t keep up with the speed of firing, you also need to be able to reload ammunition yourself, and you won’t be able to reload ammunition A blunderbuss cannot be considered a qualified blunderbuss, you need to keep this in mind.”

"promise!"

The pawns drink again.

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and retreated to the third column, and the original second and third columns have been carried to the first and second columns.

"Raise the gun! Let it go!"

Wang Hui gave the order, and the pawn pulled the trigger, and the ammunition fired, and it hit the wooden sign steadily eighty steps away.

"retreat!"

Wang Hui ordered again, and the pawn immediately ran back, the second row of pawns stepped forward, Xiao Ruxun, who was loading ammunition, also moved forward to maintain the formation, and the last pawn quickly began to load ammunition and prepare to fire.

"put!"

Wang Hui ordered again, and the pawn raised his gun and shot, hitting the wooden sign.

"retreat!"

Xiao Ruxun hadn't finished reloading yet, but had already occupied the first position. The pistols behind him hadn't finished reloading yet, but they were still moving forward to occupy the position. About ten seconds later, after reloading, Xiao Ruxun raised his gun, and Wang Hui waved his hand: " put!"

A shot hit again.

Xiao Ruxun put down the blunderbuss, and said to the watching blunderbusses: "This is the most basic method of three-stage strike. According to my estimate, with your current level, you can fire three to four times at most in a stick of incense. The difference between bow and arrow and crossbow is far, but if it is supplemented with the method of three-stage strike, the shooting efficiency can be increased by three times, and it can be fired three times in a row to form an uninterrupted strike. In fact, according to the original estimate of the general, if you want to Forming an attack like an arrow requires at least six to nine rows.

But the method of three-stage strike is not proficient, so why talk about six-stage strike and nine-stage strike?Even this method needs to be practiced frequently in order to cooperate tacitly. On the battle formation, there is not only such a row, but hundreds or even thousands of rows firing bird guns together. Therefore, the formation coordination must be proficient. I will emphasize again that the battle Above the formation, the military formation is the guarantee of your life! "

The pawns shouted loudly: "No!"

Xiao Ruxun nodded, handed the blunderbuss to the soldiers, and said, "Now the whole team is divided into ten teams, with 30 people in each team, forming three rows and starting to practice."

After giving such instructions, Xiao Ruxun leaned in front of the commander's platform to watch the soldiers' drills. Wang Hui personally went off to supervise the soldiers' cooperation. Those who missed the overall formation quickly enough were beaten and scolded by Wang Hui, and gradually got better. They practiced until noon. With the help of soldiers, he boarded the city wall.

A sentry came back from the west and reported that most of the bandit army appeared five hundred miles west of Pinglu City, and they would arrive in about two days and start attacking.

Xiao Ruxun came to the west city wall, facing the wall where the enemy army came, and saw twelve Francophone guns lined up on the muzzle of the city wall. The city wall was covered with all kinds of military supplies, and There is also the second general cannon that has not been mobilized, that is, the bamboo-jointed cannon. Compared with the imitation of the Spanish Francophone gun, this kind of cannon is not as stable and tight as it is, so it is not as good as the Francophone gun It can be reused, and the general's iron cannon is too heavy. Although it is more powerful, it is not easy to put it away, so it is generally not the first choice.

Zhao Hu was born in the old department of the Xiao Clan, and once fought with Xiao Ruxun's father. He knew that Xiao Ruxun had just recovered from his injuries, and when he saw that Xiao Ruxun's complexion was not good, he still insisted on going to the city for inspection.

"The general is recovering from his injuries. He should rest and not walk around. The general's whole body is in danger of the whole city, so he should pay more attention to himself."

Xiao Ruxun just smiled, and said in a gentle voice: "Bowei has a heart, I will know, but the enemy is in front of me, I can't abandon the public for personal reasons, and the wound has healed and started to scab, I will even move a little, as long as it doesn't touch the wound, it still doesn't matter. The problem is that the bandit army appeared on the west side, and there must be more people than last time. Our army has only 500 people and has been dispersed and reorganized. The coordination may not be as good as before, so you should pay more attention to it."

Zhao Hu clasped his fists in agreement.

"In addition, our army has enough food and fodder, but only a small number of people. In this battle, our army does not seek to defeat the enemy, but seeks to be stable enough to repel the enemy. Wait for reinforcements. Without my order, we must not go out of the city to hunt and kill."

Zhao Hu promised again.

Xiao Ruxun nodded, looked at the distant sky, and suddenly thought of a thrilling battle in the last eight years, his heart moved, and he frowned.

"Bowei, if you are the leader of the bandit army, after the initial attack was frustrated, and the second attack, should you continue the previous tactics, or seek a different tactics to try to break through?"

Zhao Hu frowned and thought about it carefully: "If the general knows that the enemy's city is strong and it is very difficult to attack by force, he will definitely not resort to force attack, but will try to use various methods to capture the city. Siege and force attack is the last resort. , not respected by military strategists."

"Yeah, with the cunning of the father and son, who were defeated by us once and became angry from embarrassment, will they use more soldiers to besiege and attack the city the second time? Unless there is no way to do it, a strong attack is the last resort. method, and would not choose to attack the city by force. Our army’s city is already an isolated city. Strong attack is even more taboo, thanks, will you do this?"

Zhao Hu asked suspiciously: "The general means that there is fraud? But the sentry cavalry reported back that there was indeed a large army coming. Is this not wrong?"
