I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 87 Zhu Di's inner deduction.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Fifty cannons lined up, and the gunners fired a volley from five of them in accordance with regulations.

The rumble of artillery from Shenji Battalion made people's eardrums hurt, and their eyes were unconsciously attracted by the artillery in the distance.

"Good guy, so many!"

Looking at the mighty cannons, many people were a little surprised.

Many people have heard of the artillery of the Shenji Camp, but most of them saw it with their own eyes, and it was really the first time for a young girl to sit in a sedan chair.

"Is this the artillery? It's so loud!"

People who don't understand the principle of artillery attack still think that artillery can scare people by sound.Listening to the deafening rumbling sound, looking at the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, I covered my ears and exclaimed in a low voice.

With the rumble of cannons, the phalanx of Shenji Battalion moved forward slowly.

"It's so neat!"

Staring at the neat array, some people couldn't help but widen their eyes and exclaim in a low voice.

"Boom..."

With the sound of the last cannon, all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion drove to the central martial arts arena.

"Standing!"

"boom!"

At the order of the leading officer, all the soldiers stopped in unison.

"Left, right ~ turn!"

The officer gave the order again.

The soldiers forming the phalanx turned in different directions according to the formation they were in.

"Form a combat queue!"

Another command from the officer sounded.

The soldiers held up their rifles and trotted forward quickly, forming a horizontal formation.

"Load ammo!"

The soldiers forming the firing line heard the officer's order, reached out from the small satchel on their bodies, and took out an ammunition bag.

Bite off the oil paper, first pour a little gunpowder into the ignition pool, and then pour the remaining gunpowder along the muzzle of the gun.

After pouring the gunpowder, he stuffed the paper bag in his hand into the barrel, pulled out the rod, stuffed it into the barrel and stabbed it a few times, retracted the rod, raised the rifle, pulled the hammer, and was ready to shoot.

The overall action takes nearly 20 seconds.

"Hehe, at such a slow speed, when they get ready on the battlefield, the enemy will rush in front of them."

Seeing such a complicated operation, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but sneered.

Zhu Di looked back at him, and Zhu Gaoxu shut up instantly.

The old man is very clear about the slow reloading speed of the flintlock.

But that's not everything.

The flintlock gun is a weapon that can be mastered quickly and has powerful lethality.

It takes several years or even ten years for an archer to be cultivated.

A musketeer, on the other hand, only needs a few months of simple training before he can directly enter the battlefield.

The two are incomparable.

"Fire in the first row!"

With the soldiers loaded, the leading officer gave the order to fire.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The soldier who heard the order pulled the trigger with his index finger.

With the shock of the gun body, a burst of gunpowder smoke rose into the air.

The soldier who finished shooting did not retract the gun immediately, but pulled the hammer again and pulled it.

The flintlock fire rate is not 100%.

The failure of the flint to ignite, the lack of primer, and the damp gunpowder that did not ignite may all cause the gun to fail to fire.

In order to prevent duplication caused by secondary reloading, soldiers need to be fired again after shooting.

The reason why everyone has to do it again is because on a fierce battlefield, people's spirits are all excited, and it is difficult to pay attention to whether their guns have been fired.

Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, Zhu Zhangui asked the soldiers to use the fastest speed after shooting, and then perform a second excitation.

Sure enough, with the second firing, there were scattered gunshots in the queue of soldiers.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing such a scene, many people laughed out loud.

I feel that the Shenji Camp is nothing but a good queue.

With the laughter behind him, Zhu Di didn't say anything.

Others don't know the doorway here, but he knows it clearly in his heart.

In this exercise of the Shenji Battalion, in order to prevent accidental injuries caused by ammunition flying randomly, all soldiers were only equipped with gunpowder, not bullets.

Coupled with the lack of a target, the true lethality and power of the flintlock gun has not been revealed at all.

If he was on the battlefield at this time, Zhu Di estimated in his heart that the shooting from the first row of the Shenji Battalion would have caused considerable trauma to the enemy's assault troops.

"Second row shooting!"

After the first row finished shooting and retreated to the rear of the third row, the officer leading the team waved the knife in his hand, and the soldiers in the second row stepped up to the front and pulled the trigger.

Then came the soldiers of the third platoon.

After the soldiers in the third row finished shooting, the soldiers in the first row had finished loading, stood in the first row again, raised their rifles, aimed at the front, and pulled the trigger.

After shooting three times in a row, the first performance of Shenji Camp officially ended.

After shooting, all the soldiers quickly reloaded their ammunition and waited for the next order.

"The whole army shoots!"

Following the sound of the officer's horn, the second and third rows of soldiers in the back row took a slight step left and right, placed their guns on the shoulders of the first row of soldiers, and neatly pulled the trigger in their hands.

Looking at the Shenji Camp shrouded in gunpowder smoke, Zhu Di closed his eyes and quickly simulated the scene of the battlefield in his mind.

On the wide prairie, [-] Wala cavalrymen withstood the artillery fire of the Shenji Battalion and launched an attack on the main center of the Ming army.

The cavalry was 200 steps away from the army formation, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were ready to shoot.

The enemy cavalry was 150 steps away from the army formation, and the soldiers in the first row of the Shenji Battalion pulled the trigger under the order of the officer.

Gunshots rang out and projectiles flew out.

Due to the long distance, only ten enemies were killed and dozens of enemies were injured.

The enemy cavalry was 120 steps away from the army formation, and the second platoon of Shenji Battalion launched an attack.

Due to the shorter distance, the lethality of the rifle has increased a lot.

This round of attack caused nearly a hundred enemy casualties.

In the third row, more than 200 enemies were killed and wounded.

The enemy cavalry entered 100 paces, and the power of Shenji Battalion's rifles was completely released.

The first row of soldiers fired, causing nearly 200 enemy casualties, and the enemy was in small-scale chaos.

The second round of platoon shooting caused more than 200 enemy casualties, and the enemy seemed to be in fear.

The enemy cavalry approached 80 paces, and the Shenji Battalion had already entered the range of the enemy's bow and arrow, and the enemy had begun to take off the bow and arrow, ready to shoot.

The third platoon fired. As the enemy drew his bow and shot arrows, a large area of ​​the body was exposed, causing hundreds of enemy casualties.

At the same time, the Shenjiying light artillery was launched.

Holding the shield, blocking the rain of arrows from the opponent, he fired shotguns at the enemy who was about to rush in front of him.

More than 30 artillery pieces fired one after another, causing heavy casualties to the enemy, and the morale of the enemy... collapsed!

At this moment, the soldiers who had all loaded their ammunition fired a salvo while the artillery retreated to reload.

The morale of the enemy completely collapsed.

The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army issued an order for the cavalry to attack, and the [-] battalion, which was on standby, roared out, charged from both sides, rushed into the retreating enemy army, and defeated the enemy.

In this battle, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and the entire army was almost wiped out, while our army suffered slight casualties.

Great victory in this battle!
ps: It will be on the shelves at 12 o'clock tomorrow, and the update will be released after [-] o'clock tomorrow. There will be ten updates on the first day, and three updates every day after that.
