Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 4 Chapter 36: Dress change temporarily

   After half a month of training, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have been able to use muskets more proficiently, and the rigorous tactics and tactics have also been initially figured out, followed by the exploration of specific command methods.

   However, after this period of training, Yan Ren already knew how to use a whistle to direct combat after asking Li Jing for help many times.

   First of all, Yan Ren and Li Jing compiled a whistle blowing rhythm based on the marching pace of the army. This rhythm matched the rhythm of the soldiers when they stepped neatly, so that the soldiers knew that this was a whistle for advancing.

   Then, there was the whistle of standing and stopping. It was a long, rapid and high tone.

   In the end, the command to raise the gun and shoot was accompanied by the commanding sword of the officer with the whistle.

   When the commander gives the command to raise the gun, the whistle will make a very long sound, and the officer’s sword will be unsheathed and raised above his head.

   The firing command was issued with a swipe of the sword, and after a short interval of whistle, there was another long tone.

   This is the command method of in-line tactics, and the command of wheeled shooting is similar. The difference is that the officer must use voice to give the command of wheeled shooting.

   The command that the commander decides to use wheel shooting or line shooting is given by the flags and drums.

   Lingqi are two different semaphores, and war drums are two sounds with different rhythms. Because there are only two tactics, it is easy to distinguish the difference between the two.

   When Yan Ren and Li Jing were conducting drills at the Shenji Camp, they promulgated the musketeers as long as they are on the battlefield, they must always have a good bayonet operation code. This Shenji camp rule is to prevent accidents.

  Because they found that as long as the musket is equipped with a good bayonet, the musketeer is completely suitable for both near and far.

  The long-range attack is the main combat method of the Musketeers. If it is impossible to do so, they can also form a square formation and act as a short spear.

   And facing the charge of the cavalry, the musketeers also have a great advantage. First, it must be a round of line salvo, and then the dense spear formation to resist the impact of the cavalry.

   Not to mention the powerful sound of the musket when it attacks, it is very likely to startle the horses, but the powerful attack power of the musket, whether it is a flattering or a cavalry, will be injured right next to it, and it is a dead word when confronted.

   Smoothbore Flintlock's projectile is spherical and has a very strong stopping ability. After hitting a person's body, all the kinetic energy carried by the projectile will be released into the person's body.

In addition, lead is a kind of soft metal and poisonous metal. If it touches hard things like bones inside the human body, the consequences will be disastrous. For the person who is shot, it may be a blessing to die immediately. thing.

   "Your Majesty, this is a tactical strategy developed by the minister and General Li together." Yan Ren took out a thick book and reported to Yang Song the current situation with Li Jing.

   "Is there a result?" Yang Song was still a little surprised that Yan Ren and Li Jing had such results half a month after the establishment of the Shenjiying.

   Sternly and respectfully replied: "Enlighten you! The minister has this result thanks to General Li's assistance."

   "Strictly command over Qian." Li Jing smiled slightly, and held his fist at Yang Song: "Your Majesty, Strict Commander leads the troops well, and the ministers are just a little help on the sidelines."

Yan Ren heard that Li Jing was going to throw all the credit to him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, General Li is not just a little help. In many ways, he can only figure it out after General Li's order. There is no General Li. But there is no such result."

   "Okay, okay." Yang Song looked at the folder in his hand and heard that the two of them were still there and humbly said, "You both know the credit for the loneliness."

   "You can tell Gu, what is the difference between the Shenji Battalion and the previous infantry battalion, and what are the advantages and disadvantages?" Yang Song put down the folder in his hand and wanted to ask if it is necessary to change the whole army.

Seeing that Li Jing hadn’t spoken, Yan Ren thought for a while, and said, “Enlighten you! The minister found that the training of musketeers is very simple. As far as the use of muskets is concerned, they are ordinary people. After about ten days of training, Can skillfully operate a musket to shoot."

   "Well, what else?" Yang Song nodded, then asked.

"Back to the Lord, there is also that the attack power of the musket is very strong, and the accuracy is also higher than that of the crossbow, bow and arrow. When equipped with a bayonet, it is suitable for both distances and distances, and it also has a great resistance to the cavalry." Yan Yan Ren went on to state his greatest discovery of the Musketeers.

"What the commander Yan said is exactly what the minister wants to say." After Li Jing and other Yan Ren said these words, they immediately said: "Compared with the traditional swords, guns, swords, halberds and crossbows, the musket takes into account the sum of the two. While strong long-range attack power, it also possesses good melee combat ability."

   Yang Song wondered whether the Musketeers had good melee combat ability, so he asked: "The Musketeers actually have good melee combat ability?"

   "Go back to your lord, yes." Yan Ren said solemnly: "The musketeers are more than two meters in length with bayonets, and the formation of a spear formation is also quite powerful."

"Moreover, the armor-breaking ability of muskets and bullets is unmatched by other individual weapons." Li Jing added on the side: "As long as it is not heavy defense equipment such as heavy infantry and heavy shield soldiers, it can basically penetrate within the effective range. Therefore, when the Musketeers are facing each other, there are very few melee opportunities."

"By the way, your prince, when soldiers use a musket, compared to using a bow and arrow, it is very energy-saving. Soldiers only need to pull the trigger of the musket to launch an attack, and the backward force can be transmitted by the shoulder. Whole body." Yan Ren suddenly thought of this and immediately reported to Yang Songdi.

   "You mean recoil." Yang Song heard that Yan Ren had a backward force when firing the gun, and immediately knew that the other party was talking about recoil.

   "Recoil?" Yan Ren read the word Yang Song said twice in his mind, his eyes lit up and said: "The name of the monarch is really very appropriate. It really is the power of sitting back."

Yang Song heard that they were all talking about the advantages of muskets, and couldn't help expressing his own thoughts: "Since muskets have such advantages, Pharmacist, you can see if the whole army can be changed, except for some soldiers and cavalry. , Can you replace all of them with muskets?"

   "You can't be the emperor!" When Li Jing heard that Yang Song had such a plan, he was shocked and immediately opposed Yang Song's proposal and explained: "My lord, although the gun is good, it is not without its shortcomings."

   "What are the shortcomings?" Yang Song was a bit dissatisfied. Just now I asked you to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the musket, but you only talked about the advantages. When he proposed to change the army, the shortcomings came out. Isn't this bullying?

   "The Lord is going to stop anger~www.novelmtl.com~ The minister is just about to talk about the shortcomings of the Musketeers." Li Jing saw that Yang Song's face was wrong, and he also guessed Yang Song's thoughts.

   So Li Jing continued: "The biggest disadvantage of muskets is that they are afraid of water, or all firearms are afraid of water. As long as it rains, firearms become useless."

Li Jing saw that his commentary made Yang Song's expression calm, and then said: "The other is the current army of the country, which has a fixed combat method. If it is to change weapons, it needs to be retrained. When it is mature and there is a war outside, the minister thinks it is better to postpone it for a while before making plans."

   Yang Song could understand it. To put it simply, Li Jing still didn't trust this new weapon, and even if Xia Guo's cold weapons were equipped with cannons, they could already resist many forces outside the customs, and there was no need to change outfits.

   "Well, let's postpone this matter for now." Yang Song thought for a while, but decided to postpone it first. Because Yang Song just thought of one thing.

   That is the whole army's refitting is not a small expense, and even if it needs to be refitted, it has to wait until the stock of muskets reaches a certain level.

  Whether it is an army commander or an officer or an officer, they don’t know anything about this new weapon. Even if they change their outfits, they don’t know how to use them.

   Yang Song thought to himself: "The whole army's hot weapons I want to see are not good at present!"
