After the wolf soldiers finished reviewing the troops, Cen Dalu couldn't wait to go on stage and asked Zhu Pingan how he felt about the wolf soldiers.
“It’s better to hear a hundred times than to see it once.” Zhu Ping’an definitely encouraged.
Cen Dalu immediately raised his head to Lao Gao, "Hey, this is just our display. If it were an actual battle, our wolf soldiers would be even more powerful."
"Master Zhu, we have also heard about the name of the Zhejiang Army for a long time. The victory over the Japanese pirates is second to none in the south of the Yangtze River. Today is a rare opportunity. Please let us see the power of your army." Mrs. Wa's hand was extended.
Zhu Pingan also wanted to take the opportunity to promote firearms and advance the progress of firearms, so he readily accepted it and asked Liu Dadao to lead the Zhejiang army on a military parade to give them a little shock to the Zhejiang army.
When Mrs. Wa and Cen Dalu watched the Zhejiang army marching in uniform steps, their faces could not help but be filled with shock.
They had never seen such a neat queue before. They were as neat as walls as they marched, overwhelming the crowd.
"Huh? Why did they put so many targets? Why did they bring up a few vertical shields." Cen Dalu pointed down and exclaimed, confused.
Sure enough, following the direction of Cen Dalu's finger, Mrs. Wa could see rows of targets placed in front of the Zhejiang army's column. They were uneven and messy. After counting, there were almost three hundred targets. .
In front of these targets, six huge vertical shields were moved, the kind of giant shields that can stand on the ground with brackets.
These six giant shields were spread out like a wall.
"Just look down and you'll find out." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly.
“Don’t be like a monkey, too anxious to eat hot tofu.” Mrs. Wa took the opportunity to educate Cen Dalu.
Next.
When the Zhejiang army's column was still more than a hundred meters away from the target, the Zhejiang army suddenly stopped, and then dozens of Zhejiang soldiers came forward. Two people carried a squatting tiger cannon and adjusted it. angle, fixed to the ground.
"Fire the cannon!"
A young general waved his hand vigorously.
The Zhejiang soldiers immediately lit the Tiger Crouching Cannon, only to hear a "bang" of neat gunfire and smoke rising.
The next second, I saw the giant shield in front of the target being hit by artillery fire. The heavy shells roared and hit the giant shield.
A huge shield as heavy and thick as a door panel, a huge shield like a wall, is as vulnerable as fragile glass in front of the cannonballs.
"Bang!" In the sound of "bang" and "bang", the six giant shields became fragments on the ground, and even the target behind the giant shield fell down in a big piece.
"Hiss" Cen Dalu suddenly took a breath of cold air when he saw this, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Mrs. Watts also changed her color in an instant.
“Damn it, this firearm is so powerful, a shield so thick and big is like paper, vulnerable!”
“This is still a shield, if it hits someone The body was smashed into pieces! It’s terrible!”
The wolf soldiers watching around let out waves of exclamations, and they were all shocked.
Cen Dalu couldn't help but bring himself into the audience at this moment. If, if our wolf soldiers were the enemies of the Zhejiang army, and we faced the Zhejiang army with giant shields, then the fate of our shield soldiers would also be It ends up falling apart.
The Zhejiang Army’s firearms are so powerful!
"Look, the Zhejiang army is marching again." When Cen Dalu was in a daze, he heard the voices of the wolf soldiers under the stage and hurriedly looked down the stage.
After firing the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the soldiers of the Tiger Crouching Cannon reloaded the artillery at the same place. The Zhejiang soldiers passed them and continued to move forward in overwhelming numbers.
Ninety meters, eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters, fifty meters.
The Zhejiang Army stopped fifty meters away from the target forest. Then, the Zhejiang Army soldiers lined up in three rows. Group, the first row squats, the second row bows, and the third row stands upright, the standard Zhejiang Army three-stage shooting posture.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
A neat and dense sound of firecrackers sounded, and amid the smoke, rounds of gunshots and lead pellets rained down towards Target forest.
“Crackling.”
There was a sound of hitting in the target forest, and the target was punched with bullet holes one after another.
After the first group of Zhejiang soldiers fired their muskets, they stepped back and reloaded their ammunition. The three rows behind them stepped forward and once again performed the standard Zhejiang army's three-stage shooting posture.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Another neat and dense burst of firecrackers.
The target forest in the distance crackled again, and there were more bullet holes in the targets, and several targets were even knocked down.
After setting off the firecrackers in the second group, the connection in the third group was so natural and smooth that it can even be described as flowing clouds and flowing water.
After the third group fired the muskets, the first group had finished loading, and then came forward again, then fired the muskets, and the cycle continued.
After two rounds of this, the Zhejiang army stopped shooting.
The target forest in front is already riddled with holes. There is no complete target and many targets are broken.
Cen Dalu stared at the target riddled with holes under the stage. Lin, breathing heavily, couldn't calm down for a long time.
A kind of wolf soldiers took a breath.
“Is this a firearm?!”
“Firearms are so powerful?!”
“The Zhejiang Army’s firearms are too scary!”
The wolf soldiers were deeply shocked and couldn't help being brought into the scene, and then their faces turned pale instantly.
If they were targets in the field, then ten lives would not be enough for the Zhejiang Army's firearms.
Originally, a group of wolf soldiers had a strong sense of superiority when facing the Zhejiang Army. Although they heard about the name of the Zhejiang Army on the way here, they also heard about the Zhejiang Army’s successive victories against the Japanese pirates. News, but in their opinion, it was because their wolf soldiers did not come, which only made Shuzi famous. If their wolf soldiers came, the Zhejiang army would take all the Zhejiang troops back, not just one or two steps back, but far away. How can the Zhejiang army compare with their wolf soldiers?
But when the Zhejiang Army held such a military parade today, the wolf soldiers no longer looked at the Zhejiang Army with the contemptuous look they had at the beginning.
Look sideways.
Be cautious.
And fear.
There is still a little bit of luck. Fortunately, they are friendly forces with the Zhejiang Army. Fortunately, they are not enemies with the Zhejiang Army.
If the Zhejiang Army is opposite them, then they dare not imagine what it would be like to fight with the Zhejiang Army.
Today, the Zhejiang Army left Cen Dalu, Mrs. Wa Shi, and a group of wolf soldiers. Made a deep impression.
The Zhejiang Army’s firearms left a deep impression on them.
"It's an eye-opener for me. It's really an eye-opener for me today. Lord Zhu, the power and use of firearms in your army today is an eye-opener for me." Mrs. Wa came back from her trance and couldn't help but high-five and sighed. .
"Master Zhu, your firearms are so powerful, my eyes almost popped out just now." Cen Dalu finally came back to his senses and sighed with emotion.
Then, Cen Dalu sighed regretfully, "The only drawback is that loading firearms is too troublesome and slow."
"It's not slow, I have seen the firearms of officers and soldiers, Zhu Your Excellency, the Zhejiang Army's firearms reload much faster than them. Moreover, the Zhejiang Army's battle formation is unique. After one group of fire muskets are fired, they retreat to reload, and the next group comes up, and then the next group, and the cycle continues, which has largely made up for this shortcoming of being famous for firearms. Zhejiang Army, it’s better to see it than to hear it.” Mrs. Wa waved her hand.
"Firearms can still be improved, and the future is promising. I believe that future wars will definitely be dominated by firearms."
Zhu Pingan said with confidence.
"Future wars will be dominated by firearms? Although firearms are powerful, their shortcomings are still very obvious. If the enemy is not afraid of death and rushes into the formation brazenly, he will have to pay a certain price to rush into your formation and fight you face to face. , The sword is still king."
"Firearms are powerful in long-distance combat, but the sword is still king in close combat."
Cen Dalu disagreed.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wa gave Cen Dalu an appreciative look, nodded slightly, and approved of his words.
This is the limitation of the times, don’t blame them.
What I want to do is to break the limitations of the times, let China pay attention to firearms, reuse firearms, and never repeat a century-old history of humiliation. "Then let's wait and see." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly. (End of this chapter)
