Chapter 206 What About Dead Light?

After thinking about it, Yuan Zongdi asked Xie Junyou to tell him about his experience at that time again. Although he had asked many times, Yuan Zongdi gained something every time he asked.

Li Guo and others also listened very seriously. Although they looked arrogant and disdainful, as old thieves, everyone's caution in war was deeply rooted in their hearts, and it was absolutely right to listen to more information.

Xie Junyou was dejected by everyone's eyes. Every time he said he was defeated, he would cut his flesh on his heart. He was particularly uncomfortable to see his joking eyes.

However, he still said it again, carefully explaining the details at that time, and letting the donkey grandson supplement it.

This thin and tough old bandit was very excited. The Old Sun family had made a fortune. These famous old Zhangjia had to listen to their own information. It seemed that the thieves were doing the right path and might be able to bring a group of people in the future.

He nodded and bowed, and said to his past experience: "Go back to the old masters, Yang He, the scholar who killed thousands of swords, was sure that his subordinates used firearms like thunder-killing guns. At that time, the heroes from my Tongshan Village attacked their military formations, and their musketeers hid behind the shield cart. Both rows were squatting and they were still fast. How could they fight if they didn't load from behind?... Brothers are miserable. They rushed over from fifty steps and didn't reach the front of their shield cart. As a result, they were shot in the seven-format platoon. It was a terrible sight!"

Li Guo shouted: "You old thief must be that they only have two rows of gunmen, and they have shot seven rows of gunmen in total?"

Sun Youlu kowtowed like pounding garlic, and sweared, and everything he said was true.

Yuan Zongdi pondered, fifty steps, even if there were too many people to squeeze together and it was difficult to rush, but the seventh formation platoons were scattered at a speed that was amazingly fast.

Xie Junyou's encounter with his wife was in trouble also proves this.

Wang Long touched his chin and finally took a breath of air conditioner: "In other words, every time they refilled the medicine, they would not fire more than ten breaths. Apart from firearms like the Thunder Kicking Gun, I can't think of any other fire guns that can be re-fired so quickly."

The thieves were shocked. There were many firearms in their army, but the most elite bird gunners would take sixty breaths to fire again, and most of them would take one hundred and twenty breaths. Many firearms were not of good quality, and if they shot three shots in a row, the gun barrels would be too hot.

If you continue to use it, either the medicine is spontaneously ignited or the gun barrel exploded, and the same is true for the three-eyed gun. After a few shots, the chamber will explode at any time. After all, the cost of an excellent three-eyed gun is actually no less than the qualified bird gun.

Most of the firearms used by the government troops they surrendered were shoddy goods, and they could not be beaten a few times, and their overall lifespan was only a few dozen shots.

The guns and cannons of the Folang machine are better and are better when dissipating heat. Sometimes they can even stop dissipating heat by firing 10 or 20 shots. There is a problem that they often expel fire, which is always hot so that the gunman's face is full of bubbles, and even their eyes are blinded.

According to Xie Junyou and Sun Youlu, the Xiangyong Firearm under Yang's surname is not this problem. It's strange.

The surname Yang was able to stand 50 steps before the fight started, which surprised the thieves.

Generally, the bird guns and firearms of each battalion are at least a hundred steps away, and their team is no exception.

Li Guo held the whip and shook it unconsciously. He frowned and said, "These village heroes are so sharp. I heard from the whistleblower that they still have earthen walls... Donkey balls, this man hides behind the earthen walls, and things will be difficult to deal with."

He shook the whip, looked at Sun Youlu, and smiled and said, "Mr. Donkey, right? What are you thinking? Tell me about it."

The thieves looked coldly, and Sun Youlu didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly said, "When they return to the big whistle, their muskets have strong medicinal power, and they may use willow ash. Even if they shoot the breeze, they may be able to penetrate two layers of a one-inch thick wooden board with sixty-seven steps, and four layers can be penetrated in thirty or forty steps..."

Li Guo and others frowned. The bird guns in their army, because the gun barrels were not well made and the medicine power of willow wood ash was too strong and they often fried the chamber, so they used hemp straw ash, egg white ash, and scoop ash instead. The medicinal power was weak, but the power of the firearm was greatly reduced.

Generally, bird guns that use willow ash gunpowder can penetrate two layers of wooden boards with an inch thickness (3.3 cm) apart from a hundred steps. They use hemp straw ash, and can only penetrate one layer. These firearms of the townspeople are so powerful.

Sun Youlu continued: "I've thought about it all over and over. If I rush to their gun array head-on, I can only lift some door panels, which are more than eight inches thick, or make some shield cars..."

Li Guo and others frowned again. There are wilderness everywhere now, so where can we find such a thick door panel?

Even if there are some temples, I am afraid that the refugees will be chopped to burn firewood.

As for the shield car, they were not the Qing army, and the bandits were not promoted.

The Qing army used shield chariots and still popularized equipment. There were four shield chariots for every 100 people, all of which were excellent shield chariots made of eight feet high and made of hard elm locust wood. The front guard and roof chariots were eight inches thick, covered with three layers of cowhide, and were covered with mud and water quilts.

Even some shield guards are not fixed, but are fixed with a fixed pin, and the guards are hit on them. The guards will unload their strength. Therefore, the Ming army bird gunners face it. The excellent bird gun can penetrate two-inch thick wooden boards in a hundred steps, and there is nothing to do if they are eight inches. Not to mention the lack of excellent firearms, not to mention cowhide, quilts, soil, etc.

The Ming army gunmen were divided into three rows and four rows of attacks. After the bird gun was shot, they were finished. When the rounds were shot again, they didn't know when. Occasionally, the speed was fast and they could not achieve the power of a volley. However, the Qing army shield chariot had already rushed to the front, and faced with their powerful bows and arrows, they really had no power to fight back.

But Li Zicheng's team had never used a shield car. Li Guo and others were also unable to move eastwards.

There are many things to carry thick door panels, but they also depend on the place.

Seeing that these big whistle-headed whistles looked wrong, Sun Youlu hurriedly said, "I think again, there is no thick door panel or shield cart, so I can only use meat shields to let the hungry people walk in front and consume the gun that kills thousands of swords. There are more old men and women, and some pedantic officials dare not attack..."

Li Guo's expression was slightly clear and he looked at each other with Yuan Zongdi and others. This trick was available.

In fact, this is also their usual tactic, which drives away hungry people to fill trenches and consumes the lead bullets and arrows of the defenders. It has been tried and true.

Some local officials were pedantic and could not even bear to shoot, so they took the opportunity to capture the city.

Although the officials have become more and more cruel, why not try it?

If you fail, won’t you die of hungry people?

As long as you can capture the city, what if the five thousand hungry people who came from Lingbi County died?

...

Li Guo was quite happy and threw five taels of silver to Sun Youlu, making him happy. The money was small, and this "simple in the emperor's heart" was big.

It seems that the plan I offered was heard by several big leaders, and I did not make a breakthrough in Tongshan Village. It seems that this bandit, no, the day for the rebel army to make a breakthrough.

After solving the frontal attack, Li Guo and others felt a little relieved, but after Xie Junyou's remarks, the local heroes in Suining still have a shield formation?

Although there is a short wall trench in front of the west gate of Suining, and their shield formation is unknown, there are ones and twos, so we must be careful.

I heard from Xie Junyou and the fleeing soldiers and others that the powerful group of the township brave shield formation is not small, and the heroes in the rebel army are no match for them at all.

Wang Long was lazy and held the reins. Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and others pondered. After all, they were thieves and had experienced many battles and quickly found a way to crack them.

Li Guo smiled on his face: "Use a musket!"

Yuan Zongdi said even more resolutely: "Use artillery!"

Li Guo laughed: "Brother Yuan, it seems that our heroes have similar views!"

Yuan Zongdi snorted coldly: "One thing is to subdue another thing. Their heavy shields are invincible against bows and arrows, swords and axes, but they are facing firearms?... Humph, even three-eyed guns can also solve them!"

Li Guo smiled and said, "We have a lot of firearms in the army, especially small gun wolf machines. We have brought 80 doors, which is enough for them to drink a pot."

Because he defeated the three-sided governor of Shaanxi twice and conquered the cities and land, there are too many officers and soldiers in the camp, and each time it increases by tens of thousands or tens of thousands.

There are many people using firearms among the officers and soldiers, including bird guns and three-eyed guns, especially three-eyed gunmen. After they surrendered, they reacted to the bandits, and there were also many firearms.

According to the organization of the Ming army, the firearms in the early Ming army accounted for 10% of the soldiers in every hundred households, ten gunners, twenty swords and cards, thirty archers, and forty spearmen. But to this day, due to the rise of firearms, the proportion of firearms in the Ming army often reached more than half.

However, because of the poor quality and insufficient power, it is easy to explode the chamber and it is even more difficult to find gunpowder. In addition to meeting the needs of cannons and city bombs, the teams of camps and others, except for some of the more sophisticated bird guns and three-eyed guns, some elite firearm hands are kept, and many firearm hands have degenerated into cold weapon hands.

Many of them switch to rockets. Rockets are sharp objects, and they do not need to create strong bows or users' arm strength. The strength of rockets is only related to the strength of the spray drum. Perhaps some people can only use five-power bows, but using rockets can easily achieve the ten-power bows or even the arrows shot from the twelve-power bows.

But it is not easy to manufacture rockets. Especially the drilling of the spray cylinder is very critical. If the drill is slanted, the rocket launches are slanted and cannot hit people at all. Some rockets will even turn when launching.

The rocket is not easy to preserve, and it is easy to get rid of sirmonia. The arrow also requires a lot of sesame oil and fish oil to prevent rust, etc.

With the logistics support of the camp team, it is naturally difficult to sustain, and those firearms continue to deteriorate.

Nowadays, the camp team is organized, and firearms only account for 10% of the general use of better quality bird guns and three-eyed guns, while others use bows, arrows, swords and spears.

But even so, the 6,000 combat soldiers and firearms they dispatched reached 500, not to mention the eighty-tenthedge cannons of Xiao Folang.

Li Guo and others believed that if Suining Township Dynasties set out a shield formation, they would use muskets and cannons to deal with them, and they could be defeated easily.

...

After all, he is a drama thief, and his years of activities are war. Soon, he targeted Yang He's team, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and others, and came up with a perfect way to deal with it.

However, the specific situation is that everyone has to go to Suining City and see the city defense before talking about it. After all, seeing is true, hearing is false.

Tian Hu, Zhang Neng and others beside him praised him and said that the big leader was the big leader. It was indeed extraordinary and he found a way to deal with it so quickly.

Xie Junyou's face was full of shame. He suffered too much loss in his army, and most of the losses were from the elite horse riding team. Now he was cautious in front of Li Guo and others.

Only Wang Long's face flashed with a complicated look, followed by that kind of smiling frivolous look.

The audience praised Yuan Zongdi, who was still deep, Li Guo was young after all, and his face showed compassion. He grabbed the reins of the horse and saw the tide of the official road, heading north in a mighty manner, no heading in front or tailing behind, and smoke and dust were like a long dragon spreading on the road.

He was relieved and happy. This was the team of their rebels. The group was close to one million people, and there were only a small part of them.
