Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 4 Chapter 34: Groping forward

   Yan Ren was transferred back to Apocalypse City to serve as a direct officer under the ruler like Zhou Wu and Wang Wei. He was very happy.

   But when he met the Lord, he followed the Lord’s interview, and came to the camp of the exclusive Shenji camp outside the North City, there were only 1,500 empty-handed soldiers in a uniform waiting for him.

   After knowing this situation, Yan Ren didn't struggle too much, because he believed that the Lord should have his own plans for this, so he began to train the physical abilities of these soldiers, and by the way established the initial prestige.

   Although Xia Guo has strict military discipline and military regulations, there is no saying that that army is all soldiers of Xia Guo, all loyal to the king, and they are not afraid that these soldiers will not listen to his command.

   But it is also necessary to establish the prestige of the commander. At least the establishment of prestige will not make the soldiers below him look down upon him.

   And today, he learned that the monarch was coming to distribute weapons and equipment to the Shenji Camp, so he assembled the entire camp early in the morning and waited for the Lord's arrival.

   greeted the monarch, and the monarch distributed a new weapon to every soldier in the Shenji Camp, even he was no exception.

Mr.    said that this is what "front-loaded smooth-bore flintlock musketeer" is also called "musketeer". He said he didn't understand and didn't dare to ask, but he knew that the Lord would let them know what kind of weapon it was.

   As expected, the king asked Jin Yiwei's leader Wang Wei to personally demonstrate the use of this gun three times, and he suddenly realized that this is a small gun.

   Artillery is a very powerful weapon, but he has seen scenes of artillery showing off on the battlefield many times.

   This gun is really a small artillery, then the sacred machine battalion he is commanding is amazing.

   It's just that in the following meeting, he also learned about the shortcomings of this weapon, that is, the range is short, only about 100 meters, which is far worse than artillery.

   As for the slow loading, he can only launch twice a minute, he said that he can accept it, and the Shenji Battalion is not an army that completely abandons melee combat.

   In addition to these two shortcomings, what attracted his most attention was that the power of the musket did not disappoint him-the armor of the heavy infantry couldn't stop the attack of the musket at close range.

   With artillery in front, how could the power of this kind of firearm be so small?

   "Oh~!" Thinking so much, Yan Ren sighed suddenly.

  Because he thought of the new weapon that Jun Shang had given to Shenjiying just now, he asked him to perfect the combat command of this new weapon with the help of General Li of the Military Department.

   Although there are various points of mention by the Lord, and the whistle in front of his eyes, he has been thinking for a long time. Apart from the tactics used when commanding the crossbow, he can't think of other ways.

   And where can this whistle be used? He used to use war drums, horns, and gongs to command and command the army. He really didn't know how to use this whistle.

"By the way, didn't you say that General Li should help me? Let me ask." Yan Ren did as he thought of it. After letting the army continue training, he took the whistle and gun to the military hall of Apocalypse City to find Li Jing. Ask about the purpose of the whistle and the tactics of using the gun.

"General Li, I came here to ask General Li, how should the whistle given by the Lord be used?" Yan Ren is now the commander of the Shenji Camp directly under Yang Song, and his name for Li Jing has also changed to "Zaixia". Not "subordinate".

   "Strictly command, the emperor said that this object should be used with war drums and horns as examples." Li Jing's attitude towards Yan Ren has also changed. It used to be a subordinate relationship, but now the relationship is somewhat blurred.

   In terms of military rank, Li Jing is a lieutenant general, and Yan Ren has just been promoted to colonel. Comparing the two, there is still a lot of difference, but Yan Ren is directly under the command of the monarch, and he cannot be completely determined by military rank.

   "I remember what Jun Shang said in the next, but there is no precedent for this specific usage to follow, and it is not easy to determine it in the next." Yan Ren told Li Jing his difficulties.

   Li Jing thought for a while, and felt that Yan Ren was talking about it, so he went back to the barracks of Shenji Camp with him.

   "Strictly command, let us have a try on the usage of this whistle." Li Jing decided to demonstrate it on the spot, so as to study the specific usage.

   The order Li Jing received was only to help Yan Ren perfect the combat command of the firearms. Moreover, the Shenji Battalion was directly under the ruler's army. There were many things he could not directly participate in, so he could only passively accept inquiries.

   The usage of muskets Yan Ren has read the drill manual and watched Wang Wei's demonstration with his own eyes. He tried it several times in person. Who is not too familiar with it, but he knows the specific operation method.

   Then, accompanied by Li Jing, he assembled a musket brigade, arranged in five rows according to the squadron, and used the old method to command the army to move forward and retreat.

   But when it was their turn to operate the musket, many fighters didn't know how to operate it. After all, they had never touched this new weapon.

   Seeing such a situation, Yan Ren slapped his forehead and said to the careless secretly. He just thought about how to use the whistle and new tactics, but forgot that the most basic thing should be to teach the soldiers how to use muskets.

"General Li, wait a minute, go down and talk about how to use the gun." Without waiting for Li Jing's answer, he walked directly to the front of the queue, took out the gun belonging to him from behind, and explained a few carefully. The usage and precautions of the musket.

   These fighters are not new recruits, they are all elite veterans who have experienced battlefields and have a natural instinct for weapons.

   Therefore, it didn't take long for the soldiers of this brigade to learn how to use muskets, but they were a little rusty in the process of using them, so they just need to practice more in the future.

   Yan Ren walked to the side of Li Jing, who had been watching him, and said a little embarrassed: "General Li, I’ve kept you waiting, let’s start now."

   "Strict Commander and these fighters are really elite." Li Jing nodded, and then couldn't help sighing, although all these people were selected by him.

This sentence is Li Jing’s true thoughts. Facing a brand-new weapon, he can learn how to use it in a moment, and he can also use it in a similar way. This is not what ordinary soldiers can do~www .wuxiaspot.com~General Lee has won the award. "Yan Ren said politely and modestly, and then ordered the three hundred Musketeers: "Ready to shoot!" "

   After waiting for nearly a minute, the captain replied that the preparation was complete.

   Yan Ren then ordered loudly: "Five-stage shooting preparation!"

   The commander of the squadron received strict orders and issued specific orders to the five squadron leaders: "The first row (first squadron) shoots, the second row prepares, and the third row prepares..."

   Just waiting for the commander’s "shooting" order, "Bang Bang~!" A burst of slightly sequential shots sounded, making the command behind him not reach the ears of the soldiers behind.

   But the fighters who have experience in using crossbows know what to do without the command of the officer.

   After the firing of the first row was completed, the soldiers in the second row stepped forward and crossed the first row, standing in front of them, and then squeezing the trigger of the rifle in front of the target.

  When the soldiers in the third row took a step forward, the soldiers in the second row also continued to take a step forward, while the soldiers in the first row seized the time to reload the ammunition on the spot...

   After a round of five-stage shooting, although the whole process was very smooth, Yan Ren and Li Jing, who were standing by and watching, discovered a very important problem.
