Chapter 114: The Experiment in Hue City

It's late tonight, and the undisciplined chapters continue to be served. Crying for support, begging for votes.

A secret report from Zheng Zhu reported the actions here to King Zheng and put forward his own judgment.

"If the king wants to establish himself as the emperor, please make a decision as soon as possible, and be sure to clean up the Li family to avoid future troubles! In order to ensure that this matter is foolproof, the minister implores His Majesty XiΓ  to withdraw the division of the western expedition and guard Thang Long and other places. ”

At the end of the secret report, Zheng Jianjian yΓ¬ King Zheng, once he conquered Ha Jing in the future, "May my lord be like Song Taizu to break the Seven Treasures and destroy the crystal palace built by Li Shouhan!" ”

The murderous secret report immediately caused an uproar among the high-level military officials under King Zheng.

"Lead the troops to return to the dragon, kill the Li family, the king will be the emperor as soon as possible, the name is justified, crusade against the Lao State and the Li thief, and dominate the world!"

"The Li family is already a caged bird, the meat on the anvil, why do you need to make a big move? It only takes one jailer to decide whether he lives or dies. The division of the western expedition does not have to be withdrawn, and once it is withdrawn, the previous achievements will be lost, and the mountains and rivers and lands obtained by tens of thousands of soldiers in bloody battles will be gained and lost again! ”

According to the humble opinion of the ministers, the king was enthroned as the emperor as soon as possible, and then an edict was given to Li Thief, with kind words to soothe, and he was promised to give him the land and mountains of Laos, and more gold and silver property. At that time, the wood is already in the boat, what can he do? ”

All of the above are arguments among the ministers, each expressing his own opinion and arguing endlessly. However, no matter which opinion it is, in their minds, the Emperor Li, who is still in the palace at the moment, is already a dead man.

How Prince Zheng is dictatorial and arbitrary, let's ignore it, and set our sights on the south, the former center of power of the Nguyen family, Hue.

The city has emerged from the devastation and trauma of war. The full implementation of the 10 rules of the sun, and the arrival of a large number of village and town mayors to perform their duties, have regained the life and vitality of this ancient city.

Since the positioning of Hue was not determined for a while, and it was also said that Hue would be built as the capital of the South Central Army, so there were not so many workshops here, but the farmers who cultivated the paddy fields outside the city worked harder.

The original palace mansion in the city was temporarily used for other purposes, and became the general of the Phoenix Battalion.

Wang Bao and one of his subordinates recuperated here.

Wang Bao stood on the old battlefield that day, and there was a roar of gunfire in front of him!

Wang Bao's face was a little haggard, and the blow of malaria to this big man was also very severe, almost ruining his health. The original square face became a little thin, but the face began to reveal a ruddy luster.

A red battle jacket was a little fat on his body, and he held a telescope in his hand and looked carefully at the opposite side.

"Your Excellency, you're all ready."

"Let's get started!"

The red flag waved in the heights, and the hundreds of soldiers lined up not far away began to move slowly forward under the command of the commander.

The opposite destination is lined up in a row, neatly planted with hundreds of wooden poles, on which the bodies are desperately struggling and twisting, clearly indicating that these beings are well aware of what is coming.

Such a test has already been carried out twice.

For such an experiment, Wang Bao almost bought out the surrounding pigs and sheep.

Pigs and sheep tied to wooden poles and dressed in the armor of the Nguyen family, Siam and other armies unfortunately became Wang Bao's test subjects, and then they were put into the pot and became a delicacy for the wounded and sick soldiers and garrisons.

After the troops marched dozens of paces, someone on the side reminded Wang Bao, "Your Excellency, you have reached the position of sixty steps from the target!" ”

"Command the troops! Stop! ”

A loud brass horn sounded in mid-air, and when the officer leading the team heard it, he immediately gave the order: "Stop advancing!" ”

There was a loud bang from the procession, which was still moving slowly forward like a wall, the sound of the soldiers as they stood upright.

"Check the firebolt!"

Crash! The soldiers removed their muskets from their shoulders and stood on the ground.

"Shangzi Medicine!"

"Raise your gun!"

"Aim!"

"Put!"

A burst of white smoke rose quickly over the crowd, and with the smoke, there were bursts of gunshots like bursting beans, and the smoke condensed over the queue and could not disperse for a long time

The pigs and sheep on the opposite side, although they were firmly tied to the wooden poles, were also frightened and screamed in this burst of gunfire, and their bodies struggled frantically, trying to escape such bad luck.

Soon, however, someone rushed over and tightened the ropes on the pigs and sheep again, checking to see if any unfortunate fellows had been killed, wounded, or even hit in the round.

"Damn! Of the two hundred pigs and sheep, less than twenty were hit! Four heads had their armor pierced! The officer who led the team to conduct the test, Ah Ming, ran to the high slope where Wang Bao was located in despair, and told him about the number of people who wanted to cry without tears.

"The head is less than one percent?!"

"Yes! Lord Commander! ”

Wang Bao's fingers tapped on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the smoke under his feet in the distance gradually dissipated, and the troops could be vaguely seen resting on the ground, and the musketeers sat on the grass with their guns on their right shoulders and whispered something.

"Blow the trumpet! Order, keep going! Fire at forty paces! ”

"Forty steps? My lord! Forty steps is within range of the enemy's bow and arrow?! ”

Wang Bao didn't speak, just held the telescope and looked down, and the screams of pigs and sheep came from the bottom of the hillside in the distance. The officer didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he had to signal the trumpeter beside him to blow the trumpet and give orders.

People continue to move forward.

Fifty steps, forty-five steps, forty steps.

"Stop!"

The soldiers replied to the commander's command with neat footsteps, and in the face of the pigs and sheep forty paces away, the soldiers narrowed their eyes and watched the movements of those people not far away.

More than two dozen sword and shield soldiers, temporarily playing the role of painters, carried a small wooden barrel in their hands, which contained a juice made of soy sauce and sugar, black and red in color, which could be used as the basis for counting jΓΉ times.

With a small brush in his hand, dipped in soy sauce and sugar water, the bullet holes on the pigs and sheep were marked one by one, and then a special person walked between the wooden poles with a book in his hand, counting the numbers while checking the work of the sword and shield soldiers.

A sword and shield soldier carefully smeared the bullet holes on the pig's body that had been hit by lead bullets, and muttered in a small voice, "You have to dispose of this meat in a while, otherwise, you will not taste it in your mouth, and you have to beware of lead!" ”

The people were talking, but they did not dare to stop the movement of their hands, and soon the poor pigs and sheep were cleaned up, and the unlucky ones, who had been hit too many times, were removed from the wooden poles and replaced with some ones to be backed up aside.

"Shangzi Medicine!"

Following the commander's command, the musketeers examined the flint, then took out the paper shell bullet from the sub-pill box, bit the paper shell with their mouths, poured the gunpowder into the barrel, then took out the whole strip, rammed it in the barrel violently a few times, and then put the pellet into the barrel, and with the feeling of the whole strip, it was known that the projectile had been closely combined with the gunpowder.

"Raise your gun!"

With the commander's command, people raised the fire guns in their hands one after another, and in the sunlight, the dense light made of nine-turn steel flashed with a blue and faint light.

"Fire!"

Another command, the gunners subconsciously pulled the trigger, the trigger with the help of the spring, drove the dragon, the dragon head transmitted the power and consciousness to the flint, a little spark splashed, triggered the ignition in the pool, and then, the propellant in the barrel was ignited, and the passion of the gunpowder pushed the small lead projectile out of the barrel and moved along the predetermined trajectory.

In an instant, another puff of white smoke quickly formed and condensed over the queue, followed by hundreds of gunshots like muffled thunder.

The shock of smoke and gunfire is already a matter of course, but what follows is a bit jaw-dropping.

"Yanlong, how is the effect?"

Yan Long, a young man from the Dai family, has spoken Chinese well in a few months, although the tone is still a little strange, but he is already very fluent.

"Returning to the Commander! The firing effect of the 40-step firearm is better than other distances! It's already a third of the targets that have been hit, and the armor-piercing effect is beyond our imagination, almost unbroken! ”

Looking at the commotion coming from the bottom of the hillside, and the surprise discussions between the soldiers, Wang Bao was a little overwhelmed.

"In the past, we fired at 70 paces, and the effect was not ideal, and we relied on the dense firepower of projectiles like rain to defeat the enemy. Now that I have advanced to forty steps, I have suddenly reached a hit rate of thirty percent, which is ,......"

"My lord! The brothers are all very interested, so ask me to ask the adults, will you continue to practice for a while? Also, if you do it again, those pigs and sheep will probably not be able to be used anymore. There were dozens of pigs that were hit with more than a dozen buckshots. ”

"Of course you have to practice! Not only practice! And there's going to keep going! A voice came from the hillside ramp behind Wang Bao.

Hearing this voice, Wang Bao couldn't help but feel a sense of body, turned around and followed the sound to look, on the ramp up the mountain, there was a person walking up the stairs, brocade robe and golden crown, was it Li Shouhan or someone else?

Several officers on the hillside were suddenly shocked, and immediately their faces were full of joy, and they hurriedly rushed to Shouhan to salute.

Behind Shouhan, the two brothers of the Mo family, as well as several officers of the guards battalion, were also acquaintances with Wang Bao and others, and they all smiled and saluted.

At the foot of the hill, two sentry soldiers and a battalion of guards battalion formed a phalanx at the foot of the mountain, although the birds were silent, only the occasional sound of the wind blowing the flag horns, but the momentum was very familiar to the officers on the mountain.

The momentum of a hundred battles!

There was sweat running down the top of their heads, and sweat running down between the helmet and the bun, but no one tried to wipe the sweat.

"Wang Bao! Why did you stop when I came? ”

After Shouhan and the others finished saluting, they turned around and faced Wang Bao with a smile.

"Did I disrupt your arrangements when I came?"

"The subordinates don't dare!" Wang Bao quietly wiped his sweat, in the past few months, in his life experience, I am afraid that he has never considered so many things. Why was he relieved of his command by the lord Liu Bang in the Han Xin camp? Why was the Phoenix Battalion, the new annexed army, and the tribal soldiers dispersed and transported back to the Nanzhong Army area? Why did the tribal soldiers start a rebellion?

The more I think about it, the more scared I become!

The more I think about it, the more scared I become!

Fortunately, this lord is not like Han Gaozu and Ming Taizu, for the old department that fought the world together, Wang Bao is still lenient and benevolent.

Thinking of this, Wang Bao decided that it would be better to tell the truth than to hide it in an ominous way. This lord's eyes and ears are no less than those of his grandfather.

"Lord, that day, his subordinates fought side by side with Ye Shaoning, and they were quite emotional about the military discipline of firearms shooting, and later although Shaoning went north, his subordinates also had some experience in fighting in Surin Mansion, Zhenla and other places. Recently, I had nothing to do, so I led these brothers to exercise, first, to move their muscles and bones, and secondly, to explore and see where the fire gun was the best place to fire. ”

As he spoke, Wang Bao motioned for Yan Long to take out a picture bag next to him, and took out a few letterheads from it, on which were densely written in neat and smart italics.

"Biao Xia and Ye Qi both ordered their subordinates to open fire when they were seventy paces, but the killing effect was not good. On the day of his subordinates in Surin Province, thousands of musketeers fired a salvo past, killing and wounding hundreds of people. Shaoning was also very helpless about this during the battle of crossing the river. This is only to fight with Siam, Chenla, Annam and other small states of weak enemies, if in the future with the Francophone man, this generation is even better at firearms, I can't reach him, but he can reach me, how is this side good!? ”

I took a look at this "Review of the Gains and Losses of the Battle of Crossing the River", and the following works with different styles, written in walnut-sized characters and crookedly "The Gains and Losses of the Battle of Surin Mansion".

"Bao, the above one was written by Ye Qi, and the one below is yours, right?"

Hearing Shouhan call himself Bao, Wang Bao's heart was settled, and he scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Ye Shaoning is a scholar, I just learned some words, so I wrote this recklessly." It made the lord laugh shamefully! ”

There are some exchanges between subordinate generals, but Shouhan doesn't care about these things, after all, they are all human beings, and they are brothers who fight together, and it is impossible to die on the battlefield without contact, it is absolutely unrealistic. Moreover, judging from the letter taken out by Wang Bao, the two also discussed the use of firearms, which belonged to technical and theoretical discussions.

"So you're going to experiment here and see at what distance firearms work best?"

"Not bad! The lord said that day, as a soldier, the sword is not as good as a man, and the swordsmanship is better than a man! There is also a sentence that makes his subordinates suddenly open their mouths, and if the sword is not long enough, they will step forward. ”

"The subordinates thought, since they are all in the legend, the Franc machine man firecracker has a long range, then, the subordinates will fight for casualties, step forward to fight with them in close combat, and shoot at the stage when my firecracker is at its best!"

Shouhan was speechless when he heard this.

When did such rumors appear?

When did the Franc machine have a longer range than me?

However, rumors also have benefits, and it gives birth to a good thing.

The soldier's spirit of courage and exploration.

"Keep experimenting!"
