After conducting a parade of formations, Zhu Cihong was going to play for real and began to test their shooting ability and shooting speed.

Three thousand six hundred musketeers, divided into three platoons, conducted five rounds of salvo tests on the "cavalry group" a hundred paces away. Those cavalry groups were all fake horses and dummies made of straw, in order to simulate the scene of the cavalry charging of the Eight Banners Army.

Of course, straw is straw after all, and it is stationary, so it does not play a big role, but it is mainly for practicing salvos.

Whether it is a gun or an artillery, the most effective way to deal with a cavalry charge is to fire a salvo, indiscriminately.

The gunfire at the training ground was loud, especially during the first salvo, and the gunfire gathered together was like thunder, and the scene was extremely shocking. Zhu Cihong was imagining in his heart, what would happen to the cavalry of the Eighth Banner Army after encountering these rounds of blows?

Subsequently, Zhu Cihong reviewed the firing speed of individual soldiers, and Huang Degong selected 100 soldiers with fast firing speed, each of whom could fire more than four shots in one minute with flintlock pistols, and even a few could shoot six shots in one minute, while ordinary musketeers could only shoot two or three shots.

At this time, Xu Shengzheng, who had disappeared for half a day, led dozens of homeless people in cloth clothes into the Yongwei camp, and then stood beside Zhu Cihong honestly.

For the first time, the homeless people behind him entered the barracks and looked around curiously. Although Huang Degong was curious about the identities of these people, he didn't dare to ask more, so he didn't see it.

Zhu Cihong asked the dozens of homeless people brought by Xu Sheng to stand scattered behind the hundred fast gunners, about a meter away. Huang Degong and the others didn't understand what this operation meant, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail.

Seeing that both sides were in place, Zhu Cihong said to Huang Degong: "Let's start!" ”

Huang Degong immediately ordered, and the hundred fast gunners immediately put the muskets in front of them, and then looked at the target intently.

Huang Degong looked satisfied, and then said loudly: "Prepare - shoot." ”

I saw that every musketeer took out a small bamboo tube containing a certain amount of gunpowder and lead bullet from his shoulder pocket, and then very skillfully poured the gunpowder and lead bullet into the pipe gun and compacted it. This was the operation method of the Qi family's gunners back then, and it was the easiest and fastest way to reload at that time.

Just as the musketeers were just beginning to reload, an unexpected situation happened, and the homeless people behind them suddenly burst into tears, like dead fathers and mothers, crying ghosts and wolves, and the earth was shaken.

In the sudden shouting behind them, the musketeers who were reloading their ammunition felt panicked, and they were obviously greatly affected, and many of them could not hold their hands steadily, and they spilled all the gunpowder.

Even if the gunpowder can be accurately poured into the barrel, the speed is greatly slowed down, and the subsequent procedures such as reloading and pressure are not the case with accidents.

Seeing this scene, Huang Degong couldn't help but sweat profusely, and then looked at the table clock, half a minute had passed, and less than half of the musketeers had completed the first shot.

"What the hell are you howling?" Huang Degong took an iron whip and threw it at the open space in front of one of the displaced people, and suddenly the air exploded, startling everyone.

A homeless man bumped into his courage and whispered: "Go back to the military master, this is the villain's job." ”

"What the fuck are you doing?" Huang Degong was angry, and his good drill was messed up, making him very faceless in front of the crown prince.

The homeless man took out a small square of white paper from his body, handed it to Huang Degong, and said, "This is the villain's name, please take a look." ”

Huang Degong took it and took a look, and there were a few lines of small characters densely written on it: professional crying, undertaking all kinds of crying and mourning, professional crying for 20 years, the voice is real, the sound is immersive, the price is fair, and Tong Suo is not bullied.......

"You're a fucking mourner!" Huang Degong scolded angrily, a little speechless, and then looked at Zhu Cihong, not knowing what to say.

Sun Yingyuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Huang Degong's appearance: "General Huang, Your Highness is worried that the screams on the battlefield will affect the operation of the musketeers, so he specially hired some substitutes to accompany the soldiers to practice." ”

Huang Degong thought about it and felt that it was really fucking reasonable, so he turned to the few crying mourners and said, "Keep crying, scream worse!" ”

Seeing that no one stopped them, these weeping homeless people hurriedly continued to howl, and soon entered the state again, their voices were miserable, and even the corners of the eyes of some of the emotionally rich soldiers around them were faintly moist, as if they were infected by their 'true feelings'.

Taking advantage of Huang Degong's questioning of the homeless people, the musketeers immediately carried out the processes of taking medicine, filling ammunition, and filling, and Lu Ji completed two shots. But it wasn't long before the howls of ghosts and wolves were heard again, and most of the musketeers were affected again.

By the time of the three-minute test had expired, only thirty of the hundred musketeers who took part in the firing rate exercises had achieved an average of four shots per minute.

Most of the others completed an average of two or three shots, and a few people actually fired only one shot a minute on average, which can be said to be a big disparity compared to ordinary training.

Huang Degong stood in front of Zhu Cihong, lowered his head and did not look at Zhu Cihong. The 100 musketeers who participated in the firing speed exercise were also ashamed, but many of them had indignant expressions on their faces.

Obviously, they thought that the crying interfered with their shooting drills, which caused them to not perform at their normal level.

Zhu Cihong looked at some unconvinced faces, stepped forward and said: "The training on weekdays is to kill the enemy on the battlefield in the future, in the chaotic battlefield, if the enemy roars and rushes towards you, are you still unconvinced?" Negotiate with the enemy to give you a quiet environment for you to shoot them? ”

After listening to Zhu Cihong's words, many of the soldiers who were still a little indignant just now were stunned for a moment, and then laughed, what Chitose Ye said is right, no one on the battlefield accommodates him.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Zhu Cihong continued: "This palace knows that you train seriously on weekdays, but in order to be able to kill more enemies in the future, serve the country, and find a way out for yourself, I hope you can continue to practice hard in various disturbing environments." ”

Huang Degong looked at Zhu Cihong and said seriously: "Your Highness has good intentions, please rest assured, the last general will know how to do it, and His Royal Highness will come to review it in the future, and the last general will definitely not let His Highness be disappointed again." ”

Zhu Cihong also nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you will be able to do it." ”

Zhu Cihong knows that the actual combat of the musket battlefield is like the Olympic air rifle competition in later generations, and the environment is easy to make people nervous and abnormal.

In order to improve the anti-interference ability of athletes during competitions, some countries usually play very loud live noise during training. Zhu Cihong was inspired by this incident and applied it to the shooting training of the musketeers of the Yongwei Battalion.

In the ensuing time, he and Huang Degong also tried all kinds of methods, in order to improve the anti-interference ability of the musketeers, all the three indiscriminate means were used.

In the end, Huang Degong directly put the musketeers and artillery together for training, and let the musketeers stand behind the artillery group, and the two sides carried their own training, so as to not only train the musketeers' battlefield adaptability, but also train the artillery adaptability.

What's even more fierce is that Huang Degong also let the cavalry charge 200 paces away when the musketeers were continuously reloading, and only after charging 30 paces did the cavalry separate and rush through the two flanks.

Compared with the training with artillery, this kind of training between musketeers and cavalry is really amazing, and it completely simulates the scene of the Jiannu cavalry charging.

Turning at a certain distance, and at the same time being able to train the horsemanship of the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion, both sides benefited greatly.

In the beginning, these musketeers watched the scene of thousands of cavalry charging at them, and some soldiers who had never been on the battlefield were even frightened.

Even some veterans, their hearts are pounding, this kind of scene is too shocking, lest the cavalry really hit themselves.

A few musketeers were even so frightened that they threw down their guns and ran, and the result was tragic, and they were directly beheaded by Huang Degong's order. Under such rigorous training, the musketeers' ability to resist jamming is also increasing.

After Zhu Cihong learned the news, he admired Huang Degong's ability to lead the troops from the bottom of his heart.
