[Today's first update is here~~~~Summoning recommendation tickets~~~~]

Although Tan Yingde, the inspector of the ninth-rank salt inspection department, has some money, but the grade is actually the lowest. Even the small Jimo magistrate is several grades higher than him, let alone the third-rank guard commander. Among so many officials, I inevitably feel a little inferior. The opposite of inferiority is arrogance. At this time, I can't help but want to show it. It's normal for human nature - you see, our salt dings are more powerful than your guards!

Speaking of which, the equipment of the Salt Dings is indeed not bad. Among the three hundred people, there were hundreds of bird guns, as well as bows, arrows, waist knives, spears, etc., which were of very good quality. Several small leaders were also equipped with armor, which looked similar. For today's battle, Tan Yingde also specially equipped the Salt Dings with some cotton armor to guard against arrowheads for military households. In his opinion, the only long-range weapon available to the military households should be arrowheads. The muskets produced by the garrison themselves were almost the same for blowing up the chambers. The muskets of Salt Dings were bought from the ten treasurys of the inner palace, and the quality was not the same.

After receiving Tan Yingde's order, the salt dings rushed down the river bank. From the river bank, they had to pass a steep ridge. The ridge was about half a meter high, and the ridge on the south bank was similar. That's why Li Chengdong had a conclusion that Zhang Zhun and others wanted to use this ridge to fight against the officers and soldiers. From a geographical point of view, this half a meter high ridge was indeed a bit blocked when climbing. However, it would be too naive if the broken military households expect such ridges to stop the officers and soldiers' attacks.

After going down the river beach, the salt dings continued to move forward and quickly crossed several small river beaches. The river water was very shallow, and there was no problem at all. Some salt dings even rolled up their trouser legs and wade by. In order to roll up their trouser legs, they even temporarily let the convex gun go. Zhang Zhun saw it on the other side of the river and couldn't help but shake his head. Entering the battlefield, he actually had time to roll his trouser legs... Is this a war? What's the difference between the sailors hanging clothes on the cannon barrel during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895?

"preparation!"

Yang Zixuan's voice came in a low voice.

The soldiers of the Musket Team held up the Tiger Ben guns loaded with ammunition and were ready to fight.

This was their first actual combat after equipping the Hu Ben Gun. Every musketeer seemed a little nervous. The hot weather made them sweat profusely, and sweat left their backs and dripped from their crotch, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

Although during training, the Hu Ben Gun showed great lethality and destructive power, which was much more powerful than the Lumi Gun. However, it is still unknown what effect the projectile will have when hitting the human body. All weapons cannot be finalized before they have experienced actual combat. In fact, even Zhang Zhun was also a little nervous. I am really worried about how much the actual combat power of the Hu Ben Gun can be exerted.

The gap between training and actual combat is often huge.

More than 300 salt dungs ​​jumped off the riverbed one after another, forming a dense formation and heading towards the south bank of the river. Such formations are for the need for musket shooting. They used a comb-rope gun, a smoothbore gun, which required intensive shooting to ensure the shooting effect. If the formation was scattered, the hit effect of the comb-rope gun would be greatly reduced.

Behind them are the soldiers following the advance. Li Qink is the new Fushan Suoqianhu. He wants to prove his abilities in front of everyone, and of course he is not to be outdone. Compared with the salt diced cubes in front, the soldiers behind seem to be more relaxed. In terms of combat experience, they have much more salted cubes in front. Therefore, they basically don’t take such a battle into consideration.

Yes, what they have to deal with is just a group of rebellious military households. Well, even if they lift the other party and call the other party the Guard Army, it is just a shrinking army. The combat effectiveness of the Guard Army is not unclear. They have always regarded the Guard Army as a shrinking army. When they go to the battlefield, the people who shrink the most are the ones.

When Kong Youde rebelled in Dengzhou, there were a large number of shrinking troops in Dengzhou and Laizhou, with at least 200,000 to 300,000 people. If the shrinking troops had combat effectiveness, Kong Youde would have been extinguished long ago. However, the court refused to send out these shrinking troops and would rather mobilize war soldiers from other places to encircle and suppress them. Nothing else, even the court believed that a shrinking army of 100,000 was not as useful as a thousand war soldiers. Using the shrinking troops would take time and money. In the end, it might not have any effect and delay the fighter in vain.

"Put the enemy within fifteen feet and shoot."

Zhang Zhun said calmly.

Fifteen feet is forty-five meters. At such a distance, the opponent's expression can be seen clearly. At such a distance, there is basically no need to aim. You just need to point the muzzle at the enemy and then you can fire. With the ballistics of the Hu Ben Gun, there is no problem in theory to hit the enemy so close. This is the distance that even if you close your eyes, you can hit the enemy.

Of course, everything needs to be tested in practice.

Practical combat and training are always two different things.

On the real battlefield, people's psychology will undergo great changes, which will lead to their behavior being out of control. Various factors, such as blood, explosions, screams, roars, white smoke, white smoke, yellow smoke, stimulating smells, bayonets, sharp blades, etc., may cause the musketeers to collapse. A tense atmosphere will cause the loading speed to slow down and the aiming action to deform. In history, a 100-person musketeer team can have seventy people perform normally on the real battlefield.

The salt dungers quickly crossed the middle of the river.

Fifteen feet.

"put!"

Brigadier General Zhang waved his hand down.

"Bang bang bang!"

The front guard soldiers fired their guns.

The explosion of the Hu Ben gun sounded on the empty river beach without any echoes, and it was a little cold.

The strong smoke rose up, and some people were choking and coughing, and the white curtains in front of them were all over. This was the sequelae of black gunpowder. Every time the shooting was completed, the soldiers were covered in black, all of which were floating scattered gunpowder.

When Tan Yingde heard the gunshot, he didn't take it seriously at all. He smiled disdainfully: "What's the effect of firing a gun so far away! The military household's musket will have no chance if it fires at most two shots..."

Li Chengdong nodded and said, "That's right."

That's true.

According to ordinary mesh guns, the hit rate and lethality of fifteen meters are indeed not optimistic. I don’t know where the projectiles have flew. The Ming army has equipped a large number of firearms, but the actual combat effect is often not as obvious as cold weapons. The Ming army’s psychological tolerance is seriously insufficient, and the enemy often can’t wait to shoot when they are still outside the range. Naturally, there is no effect at all. The military households on the other side obviously have this problem.

Suddenly I felt something was wrong.

I only saw the salt in the middle of the riverbed and fell down one after another.

After a row of gunfire sounded, eight or nine people fell down.

The bodies of these salt dicks fell in the middle of the river, and blood gushed out. The water flow of Baisha River was not very big, and the blood instantly dyed the river red. The sun was very fierce at noon, and the bright red river water and the white beaches complemented each other, which was even more shocking.

The other salt diced rice may not have reacted yet and continue to move forward.

"Bang bang bang!"

Some of the match rope guns in Yanding's hands also began to fire.

The gunfire of both sides mixed together, making Baisha River even more lively.

A large amount of white smoke rose in the middle of the river and on the south bank of the river, and it lasted for a long time.

Without wind, all the white smoke almost floated upward in a straight line, forming smoke columns. These huge smoke columns seemed to be sharp swords piercing the sky, blocking the fierce sunlight. The entire battlefield gradually became dim.

After all, Li Chengdong was a soldier and had been on the battlefield. When he saw so many salt dice falling down, he immediately noticed something bad in his mind. However, Li Chengdong did not react to what the problem was. The contrast between the front and back was too large, and it suddenly exceeded his thinking and understanding ability.

On the contrary, Zhao Yinying was not so sensitive. After all, he was a military army, and the military army had not fought for a long time. He usually used musket soldiers to fight, but he had no chance at all. He also saw that several salt diced fell down, but he didn't react. What was the problem?

An accident, totally an accident.

The forward player Li Qinke was also stunned.

He just wanted to go down the river beach when he heard violent gunfire. He wanted to return to the shore to see what was going on, but his body had already slipped down the ridge. There was no way, so he had to continue walking forward. As a result, he regretted to find that due to the terrain, he could not see what was going on in front of him, and could only see white smoke rising on the south bank.

The sound of gunfire sounded very uncomfortable on the empty river beach. Li Qink wanted to try hard to figure out whether Yan Ding's combs had the advantage or the broken military households on the other side had the advantage. As a result, after hearing it, I couldn't hear it. Instead, I kept hearing some people screaming, some moaning, and some fell to the ground, and I didn't know whether it was their own people or their enemies.

"Black powder is really troublesome."

Zhang Zhun reached out and plucked the white smoke in front of him, cursing in his heart.

These white smokes hindered the sight and could not see clearly where the enemy was. Fortunately, the enemy was in the middle of the river beach and just fired towards the river beach. This general direction would definitely not appear. Even so, some soldiers' Hu Ben Gun muzzles were lifted too high or too low, and were too far away from the target, so the Minnie bullets were completely lost.

There is no way, this is the first actual combat, and any situation may occur. The salt diners are also shooting. Whether the effect is not clear yet, and they cannot be seen in the white smoke. However, since the opponent is also shooting, it will inevitably cause psychological pressure on the soldiers on his side. Under heavy pressure, the movements will be deformed, which is inevitable. It is not so panic that he turns the gun and shoots at his own people, he is already considered to be barely qualified.
Chapter completed!
