Second Chance Chapter 1688

The way the Zhejian army drilled their firearms was really impressive to Zhang Jing and the others, and could even be said to be very shocking.
The Zhejian army started with a round of earth-shattering shelling, and just after the shelling fell, they marched forward in nine neat rows, and when they arrived at the predetermined place, the first wave of three rows of people fired in a crouching, stooping, and upright manner, and then after firing, they retreated to the last row to reload their ammunition, and then the next wave of three people came forward to fire.
Wave after wave, like a wave, continuous, the intensity of firepower is jaw-dropping, shocking.
Such a firearms drill, they have never heard of, never seen, can be described as unprecedented first.
They have seen all the Ming army, are firearms as auxiliary use, are mainly cold weapons, never like the Zhejun such a reliance on firearms, no, Zhejun this is not rely on firearms, Zhejun more than the Shenji Battalion Shenji Battalion, has been a pure firearms, the use of firearms type is also simple, at present, we see two kinds of firearms, a new type of small artillery, one is a uniform system of the cannons.
The general Ming army, no, is all the Ming army except the Zhejiang army, is a mixture of cold and hot weapons. Eighty percent of the cold weapons, one or two percent of the firearms, but also a variety of firearms, rockets, three-eyed cannons, cannons, Zhentianlei, Zhenlei poisonous fire, fire flying crows, etc., a variety of firearms have their own purposes, rockets, arson, artillery, Zhentianlei excellent for defending the city, three-eyed cannons, cannons, powerful armour-breaking, fire flying crows can be shot at three hundred paces, so that the enemy is afraid of the cold … … …However, all the use of firearms are auxiliary role, the combat is still mainly cold weapons, firearms are also mixed in the cold weapons to be limited use of battle formation.
Everyone drills firearms, are also like this, firearms soldiers mixed in the army, with lance soldiers, archery soldiers, shield soldiers and so on together, the status of the same as the crossbow soldiers, the method of war is also basically the same, the use of firearms shooting the advantage of the long distance, with the same as the bow as the long-range damage, once the melee, firearms soldiers or with the bow and arrows to retreat to the second line in the melee soldiers under the protection of the cold open fire, or to put down the fire-arms, direct manipulation of the cold war weapon! Become a melee soldier.
It is because the Ming army has always been so, so the Zhejian army firearms drill, will seem to be groundbreaking, only to make Zhang Jing and other people so impressive, so shocking.
After the waves of firearms lasted for about ten waves, the drills on the field came to an end for the time being, and the smoke filled the air and stung the nose.
“Zi Hou, what does your Zhejiang army have to say about drilling firearms like this?” Zhang Jing sidled up to Zhu Pingan and asked.
“Back to your lordship, it’s actually just four words.” Zhu Pingan said back.
“Which four words?” Zhao Wenhua on the side asked Zhu Pingan with interest, stepping ahead of Zhang Jing.
“None other than, to raise one’s strengths and avoid one’s weaknesses.” Zhu Pingan returned.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing stroked his chin, Hu Zongxian was also puzzled, while the rest of the people were clearly at a loss.
“Zi Hou you carefully say it.” Zhao Wenhua urged, he also did not know why, he was not proficient in military affairs, firearms for the Daming military affairs chart is a relatively remote classification, Zhao Wenhua did not know is also very normal.
“Back to my lord, the advantage of firearms over cold weapons such as swords, bows and crossbows lies in their power. I carefully studied the current firearms tactics and found that all the current firearms tactics have failed to effectively utilise the power of firearms, and have only used firearms as a supplement to bows and crossbows, only utilising a small portion of the power of firearms. I carefully studied the crossbow battle formation and combined it with the characteristics of the firearms themselves to create the battle formation that our Zhejian army is currently rehearsing in order to maximise the power of the firearms.”
Zhu Pingan briefly introduced the reason and purpose of creating the Zhejian Army’s Firearms Battle Formation, which in a nutshell was to bring the power of firearms into play.
“Well, continue.” Zhao Wenhua nodded and tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, signalling for Zhu Pingan to continue on.
“There are two main battle formations, or one tactic and one battle formation, that our Zhejiang Army has just rehearsed, the tactic is the Infantry and Artillery Co-ordination Tactic, which means that the artillery and the infantry work together to fight. This tactic has two points, one point is the first artillery shooting, long range strikes the enemy, in the enemy by the artillery to destroy the formation, into a panic when the infantry with the cannons charged to the effective range to fire, destroy the enemy’s living forces; the second point is in the battle, the artillery is also at the same time to open the gun, the range of the artillery is farther than the cannons, artillery open the gun to support the infantry to fight, continue to suppression, strikes the enemy in depth targets, continued to destroy the enemy battle formation, kill and injure the enemy, and strike enemy morale. enemy, and demoralise the enemy.”
“Of course, due to the fact that our Zheijiang army is currently still familiarising itself with the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination, and that the artillery and infantry are still grinding together, only the first point can be rehearsed at the moment. When the artillery is more familiar with the artillery, operates the artillery more accurately, and gels better with the infantry, then the second point will be rehearsed, lest the artillery accidentally injure the infantry. The artillery is almost up to par now.”
Zhu Pingan extended his hand, and while reaching out to point at the resting artillerymen and cannon soldiers in the field, he slowly said.
Of course, doing these two points was only a very shallow tactic of infantry and artillery synergy, sort of a fixed infantry and artillery synergy, and in the future, dynamic infantry and artillery synergy would have to be rehearsed. This also requires the infantry and artillery to be more familiar with it, especially the artillery needs to be more familiar with it and more accurate, otherwise it would be easy to accidentally injure the infantry.
“Infantry and artillery coordination?”
When the crowd heard this new term, they couldn’t help but repeat it to one side, then nodded slightly, realising that Zhu Pingan was worthy of being a Scholar, this name was really meaningful, it seemed simple and easy to understand, but in fact, it had deep connotations.
“This is the tactics, what about the battle formation?” Zhao Wenhua asked.
It was someone who muttered in a low voice, “It’s not just a row, where do I see any battle formations.”
Whispering people are not Zhang Bao is Wei Liangyi, both are straightforward hot-tempered martial arts, just at the Regulus Gate ate suffocated, the stomach holds the gas, the two do not have the courage to face to face to contradict, derogatory Zhu Pingan, but still can not help but behind the back of the muttering of two, a small vent, to express a little bit of the heart of the dissatisfaction.
Immediately, a burst of light laughter was induced.
Zhu Pingan regarded as if the circle heard, a proud face pointing to the field in the formation of the generals, said in a loud voice: “I Zhejian army training firearms battle array name: brave discipline array. Only with both the courage of the narrow road and the discipline of the order of the forbidden, in order to lay out such a battle formation, the two are indispensable.”
“Isn’t it just standing in a row? Any two-legged soldier can go up, how does it rise to the need for the courage to win on the narrow road and the discipline of ordering and forbidding, it’s also too exaggerated.”
Another mosquito-like muttering sound rang out, and it was instantly recognisable that it was still the same voice from the party.
Naturally, it caused another burst of light laughter.
Indeed, in everyone’s opinion, the Zhejiang army drills this name “brave discipline formation” firearms battle formation, is not a battle formation, Fang just that muttering voice although some exaggerated, but the fact is so.
Zhejiang army is not just stand in a row, together with the front, to the ground to open fire on the end of the matter.
How with the narrow road courage to win the courage, as well as the discipline of the order, involved it.
Zhu Ta-Jen’s words are really a bit exaggerated.
