Xu Jie and Ye Shikuan's injuries had long been healed, but even so, they still delayed the new drill, but fortunately, they were grenadiers and were not affected too much.
In the past, in the new army of Zhenguo, grenadiers were the object of envy of everyone, after all, waving grenades everywhere, in their opinion, it was definitely a glorious thing, but now, Xu Jie and Ye Shikuan began to envy those musketeers.
It's not that they haven't seen the firecracker, in this Zhengde Dynasty, the existence of the firecracker, to many people who know the firecracker, is a joke to some extent, the range is short, the accuracy is low, the loading is troublesome, and the damn is easy to blow up, and if the person is not killed, he may blow himself up first.
But the rifles of the new army of Zhenguo are different, the rifles in the hands of those musketeers are simply like works of art, the barrel of the steel structure, the light can be seen, each component is connected together, without the slightest abruptness, the magazine is a bullet-sized groove, and there is no need to go to the fire rope, it is completely automatic with a hammer, and the handle of the gun is made of peach wood, which is very comfortable and thick to the touch.
The bullet is a mini bullet, a bullet that is easy to produce, it is said that the workshop can now produce 500 bullets a day, it is not a hollow ammunition, in fact, it is no different from the projectile of lead bullets, but because the bullet is connected with flammable materials, and because the sealing is excellent, so the range is very long, the power is sufficient.
These days, rifle drills, in addition to the queue, are live ammunition shooting, and as grenadiers, they still hold steel spears, throw bombs in distant battles, and use them as foot soldiers in close combat.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu gave an order, everyone gathered together, and everyone was silent as usual, they had already experienced such a battle too many times, and they had long been accustomed to it.
It's just the first time to fight with a rifle, and many people still don't know the bottom of their hearts, in fact, even Ye Chunqiu knows that this rifle is hugely powerful, but he is still a little worried.
Ye Chunqiu knew better than anyone that what they were going to face, but the truly professional army, their strength, from North Africa to the South Seas, had been proven, it could be said that they were truly invincible all over the world, and the number was nearly three thousand, which was three or four times the number of the new army of Zhenguo.
Ye Chunqiu frowned, still waiting, the location he chose was the only way from Tanggu to Tianjin City, it was a flat plain, and the most suitable place was the use of rifles.
Waiting until noon, 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 telescope and looked in the direction of the black dot on the horizon.
From the telescope, it was a Francophone man, with a saber hanging from his waist, riding an Arab horse that should have come with the ship, and he looked extremely tall and powerful.
Zhu Houzhao was on the side, anxiously snatched the telescope in Ye Chunqiu's hand, and said, "Show me." ” Zhu Houzhao quickly raised the telescope, and saw the Franc machine waiting, but at the same time, the other party was also looking at them with the telescope, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say: "This is the Franc machine, and there is no three-headed and six-armed man, he dares to peep at me, and he is bold." ” Grunted quietly for a while, and the other party withdrew from the horse.
Apparently, the scouts of the Franc Machine had sensed the situation and quickly went back to report it.
At this time, the Portuguese had already begun to march in the direction of Tianjin, and they had long known the terrain here, so Governor Alfonso rode a horse and personally led the team, and marched forward mightily.
The landing went smoothly and met hardly any strong resistance, which put Governor Alfonso in a fairly good mood.
It was only when the scout came to say goodbye that Alfonso's brow furrowed.
Seven or eight hundred Han troops, they also had muskets in their hands, of course, and a small number of spears.
Actually stood in the way, as if they had gotten the news, and tried in vain to stop them there. lunatic Governor Alfonso quickly asserted, and then his brow furrowed, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
However, he seemed a little excited, the landing battle, the victory came too quickly, it really made him a little uncomfortable, as for the other party also used muskets, this is understandable, in the landing, even in the battle of Quanzhou, he did find that the army of the Ming Dynasty popularized the musket on a large scale, and even the artillery is a lot, but the workmanship is poor, obviously many people do not know how to use it flexibly, and even the tactics of musket combat do not know, they are all fighting separately, and this musket can not even play a percent of the combat power.
In the opinion of Governor Alfonso, the skills of the East should have been passable, which was obviously much better than the enemies they had encountered in Ceylon and Malacca, but the Ming army was backward in its methods of warfare, and even more easily dispersed than the Ottoman musketeers.
Governor Alfonso did not have the slightest doubt, his spirit was shocked, and he said in a deep voice: "Forward" Thousands of Portuguese soldiers, cheering up again, continued to march, their mood was light, most of the time, especially in the battles in the East, they maintained a cheerful mood and high morale, for here they did not meet their opponents, but here the wealth was enough to make them salivate, and they were in high spirits and cheerfully marched on their way, and soon they arrived at the battlefield.
This is the battlefield chosen by the Han army on the opposite side, 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, because his biggest headache was that the Han army chose to fight in the mountains, which would not only greatly delay their combat progress, but might even produce many non-combat attrition.
And now, Alfonso raised the binoculars, and after that, the opposing team appeared in his eyes.
It can be seen that the square team is very neat, and it actually has the feeling of the Swiss phalanx and the Spanish phalanx, he frowned, and suddenly felt that this military horse was a little different from what he expected.
However, this only made him frown, and it completely made him a little afraid and worried "Ready" Governor Alfonso raised his hand, his face still calm.
So the lobster demon soldiers behind him quickly began to assemble, and immediately began to form a phalanx, this tactic, derived from the tactics of the Spanish large phalanx, the most emphasis is on coordination, and it is almost the magic weapon of their victory in the colonial plunder. aa2705221:
