Chapter 128: The invincible hand in the world
The injuries of Xu Jie and Ye Shikuan have been healed, but even so, they still delayed the new training. Fortunately, they are grenadiers and have not been affected too much.
In the past, grenadiers were the object of envy in the new army of the country. After all, waving grenades everywhere with grenades was definitely a matter of glory to them. But now, Xu Jie and Ye Shikuan began to envy those musketeers.
They have seen muskets. In Zhengde Dynasty, the existence of muskets is a joke to many people who know muskets. The range is short, the accuracy is low, the loading is troublesome, and it is also easy to explode the chamber. Before the person can kill him, he may have exploded himself first.
However, the rifles of the new army in Zhenguo were different. The rifles in the hands of those musketeers were like works of art. The barrel of steel structure was merely visible. Each component was connected together without any abruptness. The bullet casing was a groove the size of a bullet, and there was no need to use a fuse. It was automatically fired with a hammer, and the gun handle was made of peach wood, which was very comfortable and thick to touch.
The bullet is made of Minnie, a bullet that is easy to produce. It is said that the workshop can produce 500 pieces a day. It is not hollow ammunition. In fact, it is no different from the bullets of lead bullets. However, because the bullets are connected by flammable materials, and because of their excellent sealing properties, they have a long range and are very powerful.
These days, in addition to the queue, rifle drills are live-fire. As a grenadier, he still holds a steel spear, drops bombs in distance and uses them as infantry in close combat.
At this time, with Ye Chunqiu's order, everyone gathered together, and everyone was silent as usual. They had experienced such a battle too many times and had long been accustomed to it.
It was just the first time I used a rifle to fight, and many people were still unsure. In fact, even Ye Chunqiu knew that the rifle was powerful, he was still a little worried.
Ye Chunqiu knew better than anyone else that what they were going to face was that the truly professional army, their strength, from North Africa to Southeast Asia, had been proven. It can be said that he was truly invincible in the world, and the number was nearly 3,000, which was three or four times the number of new soldiers in Zhenguo. Once any negligence occurs, it will be bad.
Ye Chunqiu frowned and was still waiting. The place he chose was the only way from Tanggu to Tianjin City. It was a flat plain. The most suitable place here is the use of rifles.
It was noon, and just when everyone was a little anxious, suddenly, a fast horse appeared on the horizon in the distance. The fast horse stopped moving. Ye Chunqiu hurriedly raised the far tube and looked towards the black spot on the horizon.
From the distant tube, it was a saber man with a saber hanging around his waist. He was riding an Arabian horse that came with the boat, which looked extremely tall and majestic.
Zhu Houzhao was on the side, anxiously snatched the telescope from Ye Chunqiu's hand and said, "Let me see."
Zhu Houzhao quickly raised the telescope and saw the service of the Folang Ji. At the same time, the other party was looking at them with the telescope. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say, "Is this the Folang Ji person? There is no three heads and six arms... He dares to peek at me... he is very bold."
He whispered for a while and withdrew from the horse.
Obviously, the scout of Folangji had noticed the situation here and quickly went back to report.
At this time, the Portuguese had already begun to head towards Tianjin. They had already understood the terrain here. Governor Alfonso rode his horse and led his team forward in a mighty manner.
The landing went smoothly and there was almost no strong resistance, which made Governor Alfonso feel quite good.
But when the scout came to report, Alfonso frowned.
Seven or eight hundred Han soldiers? They also held muskets in their hands. Of course, they also equipped with a small number of spears.
He actually stood in front, as if he had already received the news, trying to stop them there.
madman……
Governor Alfonso quickly made an assertion, then his brows stretched out, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
However, he seemed a little excited. The victory of the landing battle just now came too quickly, which really made him feel a little uncomfortable. As for the other party also using muskets, it was understandable. During the landing, even in the battle of Quanzhou, he did find that the Ming army had popularized muskets on a large scale, and even a lot of guns were there, but the workmanship was poor. Obviously, many people did not know how to use them flexibly, and they didn't even know how to use muskets in a flexibly way. They were fighting on their own, and the musket could not even exert 10% of the combat power.
In the view of Governor Alfonso, the skill of the East should be quite acceptable, which is obviously much more intelligent than the enemies they encountered in Ceylon and Malacca, but the combat method of the Ming army was backward, and even more likely to collapse than the Ottoman musketeers.
Governor Alfonso had no doubts at all, and was shocked and said in a deep voice: "Go forward!"
Thousands of Portuguese soldiers were cheering up and continued to march. Their mood was relaxed. Most of the time, especially in the battles in the east, they maintained a happy mood and high morale, because they did not know each other here, but the wealth here was enough to make them salivate. They all took their steps and continued to move forward happily. Soon, they arrived at the battlefield.
This is the battlefield chosen by the Han army opposite. The terrain is open and unobstructed, and it is obviously very suitable for musket combat.
Governor Alfonso even felt that this was simply a gift from the Han army to him, because what he had the most trouble was that the Han army chose to fight in the mountains, which would not only greatly delay their combat progress, but may even cause many non-combat reductions.
Now, Alfonso raised his telescope, and then the opponent's team appeared in his eyes.
It can be seen that the platoon is very neat, and it actually feels like a Swiss platoon and a Spanish platoon. He frowned and suddenly felt that this army horse was a little different from what he expected.
However, this only made him frown, completely making him feel a little afraid and worried!
"Preparation!" Governor Alfonso raised his hand, his face still calm.
