Chapter 136: The Power of Firearms
A deafening volley of fire mirrors rang out, and a thick cloud of white smoke rose with it. It was difficult for the projectiles to break through the heavy armor they were wearing. ”
Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "The mouth is big, there are many filling drugs, and the power is indeed increasing." But presumably the range is close, and if the thief rushes up, so what? ”
Wang Dou said: "Firearms can only stop the enemy. Fight off the thieves. It also depends on the determination of the soldiers to die and the practice of their skills on weekdays. ”
Lu Xiangsheng nodded with emotion, now in the Ming army, there are all kinds of more advanced firearms. For example, the Lu Mi system, the self-generated fire system, etc., but against the Qing soldiers, it does not have much advantage, except for the quality problem, because the soldiers do not have the courage to fight in close combat.
The improved bird system in Wang Dou's hand is strictly speaking, only ordinary. The old technology of the Ming Dynasty decades ago. However, the power is very great and unforgettable. Plus their soldiers have the spirit of daring to fight. It is only natural that the Qing soldiers can be repelled.
He said: "Just now, your sergeant shoots calmly and quickly, it must be the result of daily practice, right?" ”
Just now, Lu Xiangsheng saw that Wang Dou used three-layer shooting tactics, but in fact, the three-layer firearms shooting tactics are commonly used in the Ming army now, which is not surprising. Even the fixed cartridge ammunition did not cause Lu Xiangsheng much surprise, the firearms soldiers of the Ming Dynasty mostly used gunpowder and projectiles to be quantitatively packed, but one, with a bamboo tube, one wrapped gunpowder and projectiles together, but this idea can be used for reference.
Wang Dou said: "Exactly, the use of fixed ammunition in my Shunbao is one of them, and the most important thing is the strict training of the soldiers on weekdays. ”
Lu Xiangsheng nodded. According to his estimates, if the enemy's infantry rushed into battle in the field and could not rush forward at all, they would be crushed by the fierce locks and fire. However, this requires rigorous training to overcome the fear of the battlefield and reload quickly. The maximum power of the fire-wielder.
He groaned for a while, and said: "Just now I saw that your sergeant shot calmly, not worried about the danger of exploding, this governor watched carefully, it is indeed excellent, is there any skilled craftsman in your fort?" ”
Although the bird lock body in Lu Xiangsheng's hand was very hot, and the sharp mouth was still smoking, there was indeed no danger of exploding, and the shooting just now also proved this. I don't know when I'm fighting. Can it be like the rest of the birds, with defects such as dumb fire and inability to hit? ”
Wuhang, also cut is a breech arquebus, generally has the problem of easy dumb fire, the main reason is that the ignition powder of the fire door is easy to be blown away by the wind, or wet by the rain, especially in the north of the Ming Dynasty, often strong winds, the mute fire rate of the bird system is higher during the battle.
The "Records of Soldiers" in the thirty-fourth year of Wanli once said: "The three-eyed system and the bird's beak system, the bird's beak is used more in the south and less in the north, and the three-eyed is used more in the north and less in the south." Why is that? The north is cold and cold, and the bird's beak must be hit by hand, and it is not easy to use constant strength, once the fire door is opened and the wind is very fierce. The letter has been blown away first, and the fire door is easy to break with the letter. Once released and captured and rode like the wind, it was very inconvenient to resist the enemy. These three eyes unify the rod and three mirrors, each of which is unified with two or three leads, and the enemy is aimed at within 30 steps, and the sound of one cannon and three shots is endless, and all of them are missed. The captive horse will insist on this unification to replace the stuffy stick, and the iron helmet and iron armor will not enter, although the sharp blade cannot enter. It is the only way to attack it, so there is a difference between the northern bird mirror and the three-eyed system
It is easy to blow up and easy to dumb fire, so in the northern land of the Ming Dynasty, it is reasonable that the bird is not as popular as the three-eyed dysprosium.
It is the fire system of Shunxiang Fort, no matter how well it is made, the dumb fire rate of the fire system on weekdays has also reached one percent. This is still the summer to fight the Qing soldiers, if it is in the autumn and winter. The fire inlay in the hands of the Shunxiang army is even more powerful.
Thinking of this problem, Wang Dou was also stunned, remembering that Zhao Shizhen, an arms expert in history, had a kind of Xuanyuan system, which seemed to be able to solve this problem. However, I have not seen the real thing, and I don't know if it is reliable or not.
At this stage, Wang Dou is unable to solve this problem.
He said honestly: "Yes, I have the fire of Shunbao." The mute fire rate on weekdays is also as high as 10%. ”
Chen An was greatly disappointed and said, "If the fire mirror can't be hit, what if the thieves come closer?"
Wang Dou said: "There is no other way, it may rely on the bloody battle of the soldiers."
Chen An sighed and stopped asking.
Next, Lu Xiangsheng watched Wang Dou's spearmen's performance again, and saw that many sergeants could stab various targets on the humanoid wooden handles with their spears twenty paces away, and the indomitable momentum of their sprinting left a deep impression on Lu Xiangsheng ().
If the timid enemy saw the pikemen of Shunxiang Fort rushing so violently, they would be three points shorter in momentum, and they would be afraid that it would be difficult to block their shots. Ji Shiwei's face was a little pale. The generals and guerrillas on the East Road also felt that the sergeants of Shunxiang Fort were too murderous.
Lu Xiangsheng asked, Wang Dou's assessment of martial arts is divided into three classes and nine rules according to Qi Shuai's actual training record, according to Wang Dou, the sergeant of Shunxiang Fort has obtained the highest assessment skills of the upper class and the middle class, and there are many senior sergeants in Shunxiang Fort, whether it is the ironclad sharp soldier on the military roster, or the military strength in Shunxiang Fort.
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was silent, and the more he thought about that level of question. He didn't say anything, though. He just said: "Wang Dou, you gather all the soldiers and civilians in the fort, and the governor will personally announce comfort and comfort to them."
Wang Dou asked Lin Daofu to recruit the soldiers and civilians inside and outside the fort. In the process of this recruitment, Lu Xiangsheng did not enter the fort, he just walked along the outside of the fort, everyone followed behind, and there were large pits and potholes on several sides of Shunxiang Fort, which aroused Lu Xiangsheng's interest. Listening to Wang Dou's explanation, he nodded again and again with interest, and he also saw the traces of the battlefield left outside the south gate, and the large blood spots, which could see the tragedy at that time.
Seeing this, the situation, not to mention the surprise of Li Yi'an and the others who were guarding the security guards, they had already known that Shunxiang Fort had gone through a tragic offensive and defensive battle, but they didn't expect it to be so miserable. Huailong Bingbei Ji Shiwei and the East Road General, guerrillas and others were also stunned.
Outside the south gate, Wang Douluo talked about the offensive and defensive battles at that time, he focused on the people who died under Shunxiang Fort, he said: "After the war, the lowly officials collected these righteous people and buried them at the foot of Pusan, south of Shunbao, and built a tomb for them, and built a temple Lu Xiangsheng slowly closed his eyes. Finally, he said, "Wang Dou, you take Bendu to watch." For those soldiers and civilians who died in battle, the Governor himself will offer incense and worship to them.
