102. Firearms training
The members of the other guards trained as hard as Lu Gousheng and Lu Shitou, but Lu Gousheng was strong and was also real warriors. They participated in several battles and performed well. They both became small flags and were in charge of thirty soldiers.
After the training, Lu Gousheng and Lu Shitou received a notice from the general flag and asked them to take their two best soldiers to report to the martial arts training ground at the Qianhu Lord's Mansion.
There are 1,000 households and 500 households, each of which has two general flags, and each general flag has five small flags. Finally, there are more than 100 excellent soldiers gathered at the martial arts training ground.
Ma Dingyuan's original intention was to let Ye Feiyu better select one hundred elites, but when Ye Feiyu saw that they were coming, he didn't have to train one hundred people, so he let them all stay.
Lu Gousheng and Lu Shitou looked at each other naturally, not knowing what it meant for Lord Qianhu to let them come here. Then he heard the Golden Wolf Immortal Master shouting: "You are all elite soldiers of the Guards. Today I asked you to come here. This Immortal Master is preparing to personally train you to become the real guardian warriors of Fort Minway and keep Fort Minway safe forever!"
"Who of you has practiced muskets? Come out."
These more than a hundred soldiers have never practiced muskets. This is a weapon that special muskets can only be practiced, and ordinary military households naturally cannot access it.
But the second question is, who asked these soldiers who had heard of muskets, and they all raised their hands.
Compared with the Indians, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty knew the functions and power of these muskets more clearly. However, the muskets made by the Ming Dynasty were of extremely poor quality and were prone to explosions. Musket soldiers were like the Dead Soldiers, and very few soldiers would take the initiative to apply to join the musket camp.
Lu Gousheng and Lu Shitou suddenly felt a thump in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel shocked and suspicious. The Golden Wolf Immortal Master wouldn't let them become musketeers, so they formed muskete camps?
As expected, as they expected, a strange item suddenly appeared in the hands of the Golden Wolf Immortal Master, which seemed to be somewhat acquainted with the Fire System. There was a hollow iron pipe in front of it, and only those fire guns were in this shape.
Most of the weapons that entered the battlefield are only three, including knives, guns, spears, and others, such as maces, big axes, which are good to scare people, but if used on the battlefield, it would be like seeking death.
Although these heavy weapons are powerful, they are very heavy and cannot continue to fight. Moreover, the troops marching urgently, so the amount of armor and grain on their bodies is not light. If they still carry dozens of kilograms of maces and gilded hammers, wouldn’t they exhaust people to death?
The army in history used light weapons, and even cavalry, the weight of the spear would not be very heavy. The cavalry in Europe that carried heavy spears to charge were the first to charge, regardless of whether they could stab the enemy or not, and then pulled out the knight's sword to fight.
For the ground team, the Tang Dynasty Mo Dao Bing is a typical heavy weapon unit. According to research, these Mo Dao weigh about 22 kilograms, which is already considered a very heavy practical weapon.
Ye Feiyu continued: "This is also a type of musket. You can call it a rifle. This immortal master will teach you how to use these rifles, but don't worry, these rifles are different from the muskets used by ordinary musketeers. They rarely explode, so you can use them with confidence."
Speaking of this, his face darkened: "But remember that these rifles are extremely powerful. Once they hit someone, it will be difficult to rescue them. No matter when the gun is at, the gun must not be directed at his companions!"
To these soldiers, it is useless to say that the country is righteous, and it is better to arouse their fighting spirit than to have a bite of fat.
People who have never been hungry cannot understand what hunger tastes. It is a strong demand from any part of the body. The empty stomach feels like it can digest anything. The stomach that is constantly moving and running in is as if it is about to digest itself.
Driven by the terrifying sense of hunger, many people know that swallowing grass roots and tree bark, or even Guanyin Hall, will make people unable to digest and die of the pain of bloating stomach, but they all do this because they cannot resist the fear brought by hunger.
Most of the soldiers here have been hungry, and some even secretly ate human flesh. If they were allowed to return to their previous hungry situation, they would rather die. Not to mention Ye Feiyu, Ma Dingyuan asked them to attack Kong Youde, even if they were allowed to rebel and overthrow the throne of Emperor Chongzhen, they would not blink!
Distributing the rifle to these soldiers and turning off the function of continuous firing, Ye Feiyu personally explained the method of using the rifle. Soon, everyone initially mastered the method of firing, and then carefully practiced shooting one by one. Even generals like Ma Dingyuan were no exception. They were full of awe for this magic weapon of the immortal family.
In fact, shooting is easy to master. Just like the military training of college students today, it is impossible to get in contact with guns. Only on the day of shooting the target live ammunition can you really touch the gun and shoot under the guidance of the instructor. However, a single type 56 ordinary bullet costs ten yuan, which is really a shameless person.
Automatic rifles are even easier to master and use than those semi-automatic rifles for college students’ military training. Ten days are enough for soldiers to master the key points of shooting. Of course, accuracy is definitely a scam. Fortunately, their opponents are just troops holding primitive weapons. Only they shoot and kill the enemy and the enemy is difficult to hurt them, so accuracy is not so important.
Treating rifles with awe will allow these indigenous troops to master the method of use more quickly.
In just ten days, Ye Feiyu took out more than 100,000 bullets. Basically, each soldier fired thousands of bullets. The average shooting volume of 100 bullets a day is quite luxurious for modern soldiers.
Of course, there is a reward if you have investment. Basically, it is difficult for these soldiers to escape within fifty meters, and their hit rate is more than 30% outside. If they are targeted as big as the human body, their hit rate may be improved a little.
The spies sent by Ma Dingyuan also had a clear understanding of Kong Youde's whereabouts. This guy was not in Penglai, Dengzhou Prefecture, but stationed troops in Zhaoyuan to facilitate control of the territory in Laizhou. In Penglai, his capable deputy Kong Youliang guarded him.
Kong Youliang is Kong Youde's clan brother. The two of them responded from afar and firmly controlled Dengzhou Prefecture. Their troops were the strongest in these two places. According to the spies' reward, at least seven thousand elite troops were built in Zhaoyuan!
