The first group of musketeers who finished shooting did not even look at the results, and immediately ran to the rear of the formation along the open area on the left and right sides with their guns in their hands, and carried out a series of processes that had been trained countless times, such as cleaning the chamber, cleaning the primer chamber, biting open the paper shell and reloading. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The second team advances!" the second team stepped forward with Hu Yang's order.

"Raise your gun and aim!"

"Shoot!"

After a long period of rigorous training, the musketeers have formed a conditioned reflex, and the moment they hear the order, they will naturally react instinctively, especially after the first team has fired, the tension in the soldiers' hearts has completely disappeared.

They mechanically perform simple standard tactical maneuvers such as aiming, shooting, and retreat reloading according to their usual training.

"The third team advances!"

"Raise your gun and aim!"

"Shoot!"

The queue shooting tactic is an extremely repetitive, extremely mechanical tactic. The soldiers could only make moves according to the orders of the officers, and even if their comrades around them died, the soldiers had to turn a blind eye.

For the officer, each platoon is a combat unit, and the three platoons and the reserve soldiers behind them form an array, and each soldier is just a small screw in this large, simple, stable and orderly machine.

Even if the enemy comes into range, the soldier cannot raise his gun to shoot without the officer's order, and even if the enemy swings his weapon to kill him, the soldier can only watch himself being killed by the enemy without the officer's order.

The fatal flaw of this tactic is that the officer, once the officer is killed by the enemy, the soldier who is accustomed to following orders will immediately become at a loss and will completely collapse.

Although the "queue to shoot" tactic has such fatal drawbacks, the soldiers it cultivates are completely sophisticated war machines, without personal heroism, and do not require strong martial arts and strong physique.

Every person of sound mind, even the cowardly of a mouse, is able to overcome any powerful and unrivaled foe with the discipline of steel, after rigorous training.

This tactic obliterates all those who want to be heroes, but it can be massive, streamlined, and fast, creating unprecedented excellent soldiers.

How much does a flintlock pistol cost? According to the calculation of one pound of fine iron and one tael of silver, a nine-pound flintlock pistol uses one pound of fine iron for the barrel and body, and the rest is iron and wood, plus the bolt machine, springs, and other fine parts share three taels of silver.

Wages are the most economical in Changwei's gun workshop, because he uses a hydraulic drilling machine to bore, which not only greatly shortens the construction period, but also reduces the cost geometrically, and it takes less than one or two silver.

Coupled with consumable parts such as gunpowder, bullets, and flint, it only costs five taels of silver for a full fight, which is only two taels more expensive than a good Yanling knife.

And a bow and arrow of the same nature as a musket. Not to mention that it takes several years to train a qualified archer, even a good war bow itself is expensive. The traditional composite bow production cycle includes viscose, painting, and drying, which is calculated on an annual basis.

A war bow costs one tael of silver, and an arrow costs one hundred wen. A good archer can shoot twenty arrows in a single battle, and almost two battles cost a flintlock pistol.

In this comparison, it is easy to see how cost-effective the musket really is.

Three salvos took thirty breaths (one breath equals one second), the first row of soldiers pushed up to the front again, and in the alternating march, the entire array advanced only ten steps, but the enemy on the opposite side had completely collapsed.

Unlike the arrows fired by the musket, a strong soldier can still kill the enemy with seven or eight arrows inserted in his body, while an enemy who is hit by a shot of lead bullet can be said to be worse than death.

Because the lead is relatively soft and hits the human body, under the action of strong kinetic energy, the warhead will be seriously deformed and even ruptured, directly resulting in the appearance of a horn-shaped cavity in human tissue, and the wound area is ten or even a hundred times that of the projectile.

That is to say, the wound caused by a lead bullet the size of a soybean will be about the size of a grape to a fist, basically a blood hole in the body of a shot, and breaking an arm and leg with a shot is definitely not an adjective.

Hit by lead bullets at a distance of 70 steps (about 100 meters), there is no doubt that he will die directly if he is shot in the head and heart, and he will die in 70% if he is shot in the chest and abdomen, and although there is only a 20% chance of death if he is shot in his limbs, he must amputate his limbs in a short time to ensure that the wound is not infected, otherwise he will not survive. With Daming's current medical level and battlefield treatment, he basically can't survive.

But even so, death directly after being shot is the best outcome. Because bullet fragments can cause lead poisoning when they enter the wound, and then some rags, minced meat, broken bones, mud and other debris are brought into the wound to cause infection.

He Laosan, the small leader of the thieves in front of him, was hit by a buckshot in the thigh artery, and in an instant, a stream of blood arrows with bone fragments and flesh foam sprayed out like a fountain away from Sanzhang, He Laosan never thought that his blood could be squirted so powerfully.

After just three or five blinks, the blood in his whole body spurted out, and it was only then that the unforgettable pain came out. He Laosan felt that all parts of his body were being burned and assassinated by thousands of fiery iron thorns.

"Ah~!" He Laosan let out a long hysterical scream, rolling on the ground in pain, tears and snot flowing, and even the green water in his stomach was vomited all over the ground. screamed frantically a few times, He Laosan's eyes turned out, and his brain went blank.

He remembered the days when he was young and carefree and even poor, then the happy times of stealing chickens and dogs, eating meat and drinking wine in his youth, and finally the days when he was poor and cheap and robbed and killed people and fled, just as he recalled the majesty of joining the gang, his consciousness was blurred.

Then, the strong muscles also became extremely relaxed, urine and feces spurted out involuntarily, and after the energy of the whole body spurted out with the blood, the heart stopped beating completely, and a blood-hot man turned into a cold dead corpse in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Lao Er witnessed the whole process from He Laosan to death on the dirt bag.

The moment He Laosan was shot, Cheng Lao Er saw that in addition to a large amount of blood and flesh and bones, the wound was also overflowing with thick oil and pus-like disgusting juice.

Immediately, He Laosan's skin turned dark blue, "Could it be that this bullet is poisonous?" Cheng Lao Er naturally didn't know that this was a sign of lead poisoning.

After the blood dried up, the lean He Laosan was swollen and swollen into a big fat man with loose muscles, and then his skin showed a dark red color that had caused fever.

A few feet away, Cheng Lao Er could smell the fishy smell from his wounds, and Cheng Lao Er had the illusion of countless maggots crawling in He Laosan's corpse and foraging for food.

"Vomit~"

After retching twice, Cheng Lao Er trembled and said to himself: "It's terrible! This team is thousands of times stronger than the official army, it is simply a heavenly soldier, and it is unmatched!" )
