Otherworldly Castle Era

Although the five-stage shooting was completed slowly, it was done with the tacit cooperation of these fighters. In addition to the two orders of “five-stage shooting” and “first-row shooting” issued at the beginning, the officer issued The rest of the orders did not reach the soldiers' ears at all.

　　 "General Li, the gunfire is too loud, and the command cannot be heard by the soldiers." Yan Ren knew that Yang Song had given him a whistle for him to use the drums and horns to convey commands.

Li Jing didn’t feel much about the sound of gunfire, it was much smaller than the sound of artillery, but he also saw the interference of gunfire on the password: "Yes, the drums are too heavy and the horns are too laborious, and they are not practical for a gun. ."

　　 war drums are used to boost morale, horns are used to convey offensive orders, and gongs are used to convey retreat orders, but these have no effect on the timely command of muskets.

　　 Yan Ren took out a whistle and blew it hard. The whistle sound was crisp and clear, and it was very penetrating. It was very suitable for commanding the firearms team.

　　 "You are wise." Yan Ren looked at the whistle in his hand and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

　　 Li Jing smiled lightly and said: "That is, the Lord's foresight is often far beyond me."

　　 Yang Song didn't know that Li Jing had such a high evaluation of him. He is self-aware, he is just standing in the future and looking back at the present.

　　 "But how do you use the whistle to command the army?" Although Yan Ren had a clue, he hadn't figured out how to do it specifically.

　　 Li Jing heard Yan Ren's whisper, which seemed to be talking to himself, and suggested: "Strictly command, it is better to formulate musket tactics first, and then discuss the issue of command."

　　 "General Li said that he is still too impatient." Yan Ren is not an emotional temperament originally, but he is now in an important position and is valued by the king, so he can't avoid being anxious for a while.

　　 Was awakened by Li Jing's words now, he calmed down and analyzed the current situation. As Li Jing said, specific tactics must be established before specific command methods can be formulated, and the order cannot be reversed.

　　 "I would like to thank General Li for his inquiries." After thinking about the priority task, Yan Ren sincerely gave a fist to Li Jing and expressed his gratitude.

　　 Li Jing clasped his fists and replied: "Even if there is no order from the emperor, this is the general's own business, and it is important to rule strictly."

　　 Li Jing’s words were polite. Without Yang Song’s instructions, he would not have come to Shenji Camp so easily. No matter what, Shenji Camp was directly under Yang Song’s army, so he would not dare to intervene easily.

　　 Yan Ren made a courteous sentence with Li Jing. After he personally sent Li Jing away, he returned to the main account of the barracks and began to formulate the tactical tactics of the muskets based on the previous fighting methods of strong crossbows.

　　 Musketeers and crossbows are both long-range attack weapons. They are basically direct-fire weapons, but their power and attack methods are different.

　　 A strong crossbow is to fire a crossbow arrow, and a musket fires a lead shot. The former attack is far away, while the latter attack is strong; the former’s attack speed is slightly faster than that of a musket...

　　 Yan Ren faced the gap between the two weapons and recorded it bit by bit on the paper.

　　 After enumerating everything he could think of on the paper, looking at the dense written records on the paper, he already had a general idea of ​​the tactical tactics of the firearm, and there was only experimentation left.

　　 Yan Ren gathered all the soldiers of the Shenji Camp on the school field, and let the first one who learned how to use the gun to stand by.

　　 Yan Ren ordered the soldiers of the first brigade: "The first row moves forward."

　　 There are five squadrons in the entire brigade. Each row is a squadron, with a total of sixty people. There is a wide distance between each person, and the width of a row is about sixty meters.

　　 There is a one-person wide distance between the soldier and the soldier because it is convenient for the soldiers behind to go forward and attack, which is also the habit left by the original long-range infantry.

　　 "Tap~!" Under strict orders, the soldiers in the first row, under the command of the squadron leader "one two one", stepped forward neatly with muskets.

　　 "Stop!" After Yan Ren watched the platoon of soldiers only about 80 meters away from the gun target, he gave the order to stop.

　　 "Raise the gun~ Shoot!" The already filled muskets were raised together, "Bang Bang~" There was a burst of gunfire, and many of the gun targets in the front row were hit.

　　 Yan Ren raised his single scope and looked at the distant target, but frowned, because he found that many targets were not hit at all.

　　 "The second, third, and fourth rows come forward!" Yan Ren then ordered the soldiers in the next two rows to step forward in unison.

After the soldiers in the second, third, and fourth platoons walked to stand behind the first row, Yan Ren waited for the soldiers in the first row to fill up their muskets, and again ordered: "The second row merges into the first row, and the fourth row is merged into the first row. The rows are merged into the third row."

　　 Following strict orders, the soldiers in the second and fourth rows all stepped forward and stood in the gap between the first and third rows, forming two dense rows.

　　 "The first row is half kneeling, and the second row is two steps forward." After Yan Ren gave this order, the two rows of soldiers standing in front of the target formed a high and low shooting line.

"Shooting~!" Two rows of soldiers, 120 people in each row, with the order of Yan Ren, 120 rounds of bullets were fired in one salvo, causing the opposing gun target to "lost" heavy".

The same array width has such a large attack intensity, which is equivalent to a four-fold increase in firepower in the same area at the same time, but Yan Ren frowned Zou's brows as he looked at the battle formation that was filled together. A little dissatisfied.

　　 Although the firepower has increased, the continuity has become very weak. If there is a cavalry on the opposite side at this time, it would be a disaster for these infantrymen.

　　 Suddenly, he thought of the bayonet that Yang Song had allotted to every soldier, and ordered: "Get the bayonet and resist the impact of the cavalry!"

　　 Watching the soldiers stop loading~www.novelmtl.com~, they pulled out the bayonet from their waist and stuck them under the musket.

　　 But Yan Ren mounted his war horse and ran a circle around the entire battle formation.

　　 When he rode a war horse around to the front of the battle formation, facing the battle formation, he simulated the battle formation, but found that the seemingly weak lancet formation was extremely lethal to the impact of the cavalry.

Let Yan Ren have a new view on this humble Mitsubishi bayonet, and he also found that because the bayonet is stuck under the barrel, a good bayonet does not affect the firing of the musket at all, which makes him think about this musket. More satisfied.

　　 After trial and error, Yan Ren initially summarized some tactics of using Musketeers.

　　The first thing that bears the brunt is the round-shooting tactics: Let the soldiers of a brigade conduct five-round shooting in accordance with the tactics of a strong crossbow. The characteristic of this tactic is that the firepower is very continuous. Basically, there is a salvo every five or six seconds. The disadvantage is that the firepower is insufficient in an instant.

　　 Then there is the line tactics: Let a group of soldiers stand side by side in three rows with a row of 100 people, the first row is half kneeling, the second row is leaning forward, and the third row is standing straight and shooting at the same time. The advantage is that the instantaneous firepower output is the largest, but the disadvantage is that the interval between shots is very long.

　　 The last is the collective combat tactics carried out by the battalion: three gun brigades form three battle formations, one artillery brigade is behind, and two cavalry squadrons guard the two wings. This is a very traditional tactic as well as a very universally applicable tactic. The disadvantage is that it needs to be deployed in advance.
