Chapter 83 Training Gunners(2/2)
Although Lin Mojun joined the army on behalf of his younger brother, he usually stayed with the guardsmen outside. Most of the people in the guardhouse were related to him, and some of them were uncles and elders who watched Lin Mojun grow up.
But tonight, she was in the same room with Su Ze, a strange man from Changning Weiwai, and Lin Mojun always felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle.
However, Su Ze didn't take it seriously. He put on a cloth shirt that was fully patched. When he saw that it was the clothes of the deceased Baihu, Su Ze couldn't help but sigh that Changning Wei, the previous Baihu, was indeed an honest and upright military attaché.
.
It's a pity that such a person died young on the battlefield. After his death, the court only issued a warning. The Japanese pirates who killed him are still wreaking havoc in Fujian.
The obsession to avenge his father made Lin Mojun ask:
"Mr. Su, do you have a way to kill the deer king?"
Su Ze shook his head.
Lin Mojun said in a low voice: "Hey, King Lu has been causing trouble to Fujian for so many years, and even the general secretary in Fuzhou can't do anything about him. Our Changning Guard is just a hundred-household office, so what can we do?"
Su Ze said: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Now that I know nothing about King Lu, how can I kill him?"
Lin Mojun regained some hope. After her father died in the war, she tried her best to find out the information about King Lu.
Lin Mojun said slowly:
"This King Deer is a real Japanese from Kagoshima, a Japanese country. He was originally a wandering samurai from the Japanese country, with no name or surname. Later, he was subdued by Xu Feng and took his place of birth as his surname, and became Xu Feng's personal guard.
Later, Xu Feng valued him and allowed him to go out and lead a Japanese pirate team independently."
"The deer king's subordinates are all real Japanese that he recruited from his hometown of Kagoshima. They are ferocious and cruel. They never leave any survivors alive after every battle. All the men and children are slaughtered, and all the women are taken back and tortured to death."
Speaking of this, Lin Mojun clenched his fists. When his father was defeated, all the soldiers who fought were slaughtered by King Lu, and his father was brutally killed by King Lu in front of the defenders of Fuzhou City. There were tens of thousands of Ming troops in Fuzhou City.
No one dared to go out of the city to rescue them.
Su Ze also lamented the poor combat effectiveness of the Ming army on the southeast coast. No wonder Zhu Qi trembled with fear when he heard the name of King Lu.
"How many soldiers does King Lu have under his command? How many warships are there? How are they equipped?"
Lin Mojun said: "There are thousands of real Japanese under the command of King Lu. It turns out there are four Japanese ships. Last time, my father died in the battle, and Changning Guard's 200-material lucky ship also fell into their hands."
"The King Lu has a Japanese swordsman team of 200 people, all of whom use Japanese swords made of fine steel."
"This Japanese swordsman team is not only good at land combat, but can also use springboards and cables to fight on the side. The last time my father fought at sea, he was rushed onto the warship by the Japanese swordsman team, and he lost the opportunity."
"In addition to the Japanese swordsman team, King Deer also has a hundred-man iron gun team under his command, who use bird cannons to fight, and there are also dozens of archers."
"The Deer King has a set of Japanese armor, which can not only protect against arrows, but also against birds, muskets and firearms. He is born with supernatural power. He personally leads the Japanese sword team to charge every time. Our Ming army often collapses at the first charge and collapses at the first touch.
.”
Now I finally understand how King Lu got his illustrious reputation. This guy's men are indeed elite.
"Tell me how this deer king usually fights, and what battle formations he makes."
"Battle formation? This King Deer doesn't have any battle formation. Every time, he wears a large armor and leads the Japanese swordsman team to charge. The gunmen and archers shoot freely. The tactics at sea are similar. He uses Japanese swordsmen to break into the enemy.
Boats, archers and gunners can just shoot from a distance."
"Without formations, how can the deer king command the battle?"
"The armor he wears is the best command flag on the battlefield. As long as he rushes forward wearing the armor, the Japanese will know to follow him."
After listening to Lin Mojun's description, Su Ze felt relieved.
Although the Japanese pirates under King Lu were well-equipped, they were backward in both military philosophy and quality. The reason why they were able to defeat the Ming army was because the Ming army was worse.
It can be said that Lu Dawang, a group of Japanese pirates, relies on his personal bravery to fight. The use of bird guns is also in the stage of random marksmanship, and the full power of the bird guns is not used.
The only person who is more difficult to deal with is the Deer King himself, who is wearing a large armor.
The Japanese country is now in the so-called "Warring States" era. During this "Warring States" era, the Japanese country realized the importance of weapons such as blunderbuss.
The Japanese country called fire guns iron cannons, and in the history of the Japanese country it was called "iron cannons coming from the east".
With the use of firearms, it also promoted the development of armor technology. The so-called "large enough armor" was the full-body armor produced during this period to defend against firearms.
The casting technology of the Japanese country is actually far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty, but now the Ming Dynasty is taking the technical path of lightweight cotton armor.
In fact, cotton armor and steel helmets were precisely the ultimate direction of the firearms era. Unfortunately, due to various problems, the Ming Dynasty failed on the right path.
Let’s talk about Japanese armor. A set of large armor that can be used on the battlefield that is both lightweight and defensive is expensive and requires craftsmen to tailor it. Ordinary soldiers of the Japanese country still fight with bamboo poles. Of course, only noble names are qualified.
wear.
The fact that the Deer King has a set of large armor means that behind the Deer King, there is not only a Japanese pirate leader like Xu Feng, but also a close relationship with a certain warlord of the Japanese country.
After listening to Lin Mojun's description, Su Ze said confidently:
"Starting from tomorrow, if hundreds of households can trust me, the guards and the rest of the army will practice together every day."
"As long as I am willing to work hard and practice, I will be able to destroy a mere thousand people like King Lu!"
