Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 475 Mortar training

Chapter 474

The so-called eye jumping method mainly relies on the principle of similarity in mathematical triangles.

The mortar at that time was a small-caliber gun with very special aiming. According to its curved shooting characteristics, the angle disc was divided, and each scale represented the distance in meters.

The specific method of the default measurement of the saccade method requires the arm to be straightened forward, the left eye to be closed, and the thumb and the right eye to be aligned with the left side of the target.

Keep the head and hands still, then change the left eye and compare it with the same side of the thumb's line of sight. The distance between the two points of the thumb is multiplied by 10, which is the distance between the standing person and the target.

How did Qi Jiguang know this? Zhu Youjian taught him just before he left. The military quality of these people is much better than ordinary people, and they understand quickly.

After Qi Jiguang taught everyone how to fire a mortar, he immediately grabbed a mortar, gestured with his thumb a few times, and then stuffed the shell into the barrel.

"Whoosh..."

The shell was ejected quickly and then exploded at a distance of about 1000 meters:
"Boom"

There was a loud noise and mud splashed, and a large crater was blasted out on the ground by shelling shells.

"hiss……"

"It's so terrifying, that iron bump will explode..."

"Damn, this power, this simple operation, this distance..."

Whether it was Huang Degong, Huang Ming, Li Dingguo, or Zhou Da, they were all shocked by this mortar shell, and they valued Qi Jiguang in disbelief.

Qi Jiguang looked at the generals under his command who were in a daze, and couldn't help laughing:

"This is all the means of the Holy One. It is beyond our imagination. Don't be in a daze, try it quickly!"

"That's right, the Holy Spirit is still wise and mighty, try it quickly..."

"Whoosh..."

"Boom"

"Successful, it's too simple in case, artifact..."

In the past, the artillery had to not only clean the barrel, but also ignite it, which made it more difficult to move, but now the artillery cannon is too easy to use, which made Huang Degong and others scream in excitement.

The three shells have almost mastered the law of mortars, but these war gods, who are desperate to fight, have become accustomed to being extravagant, and accidentally bombarded each with more than a dozen shells.

"Boom"

……

Distressed Qi Jiguang hastily stopped them:

"Stop, you bastards, didn't you just say that we can't make this kind of shells, so we should save some of them? You can use them on red hair if you are not addicted! Who dares to fire an extra cannonball, the governor Get back his mortar..."

"Hahaha, that's right, save some time and stop immediately."

As soon as Qi Jiguang was about to take back the mortar, the Gods of War panicked for a moment, and hurriedly stopped the artillery under their command, joking, how could such a good artifact be taken back by the governor.

Since Zhou Da participated in the training for the first time, he was very disciplined, and only ordered the artillery to stop immediately after firing three shots, which also caused Huang Degong to roll his eyes.

Seeing Qi Jiguang swearing, Zhou Da secretly laughed, and immediately ordered his subordinates to practice shooting. It was the first time for them to use rifled guns, and they had to master them as soon as possible.

When they fired the first shot, Zhou Dahe's eyes widened on Tuesday. They found that rifled guns not only have a longer range, but also have higher stability, and the bullets are more lethal. As long as they are hit at a vital point, basically the opponent will not survive. possible.

After firing two shots, Zhou Da and Tuesday caressed the rifle in their hands, and they didn't dare to waste such good bullets.

"Zhou Da, you are not afraid of wasting bullets, just practice casually."

Qi Jiguang was more concerned about the Ping Kou army, and Qi Jiguang clearly saw their actions, and hurriedly reminded Zhou Da loudly.

Zhou Da turned around and hugged Qi Jiguang, and immediately ordered:

"Ping Koujun, don't worry about wasting bullets, hurry up and practice."

"Yes"

It was the first time to use such a good gun, who didn't want to fire a few more shots. After receiving the order, Ping Koujun immediately assumed various shooting positions and kept pulling the trigger.

Zhou Da was entrusted with an important task by Li Yan. Some people in the Pingkou army were dissatisfied. Later, they heard that Zhou Da directly killed the warlord Gao Qiqian, and saw Zhou Da’s magical marksmanship. Later, it was rumored that Zhou Da was a prince. Everyone Conquered by him, no one dares to underestimate this young general.

Li Yan is the No. 1 talent under Li Zicheng's command. Not only is he capable of both civil and military skills, but he also has a good command of the army. The more than 20 soldiers under his command have never committed any crimes against the common people.

After observing the performance of the Pingkou army for a while, Qi Jiguang secretly raised his thumb. Although this army is not better than other troops, at least it is not much worse.

You must know that most of them are rogues who were recruited before, and they were not born as regular soldiers. It is not easy to do this.

After practicing shooting for a while, bayonet fighting is also an essential training item. In this regard, the Pingkou Army is slightly worse than other armies, but it is already very good.

After Zhou Da joined the Pingkou Army, he was surprised by the combat power and discipline of the Pingkou Army. He thought that this army was not the strongest in Ming Dynasty, at least it could enter the top two.

However, after competing with several Daming Iron Army, he discovered the strength of other armies, both the Dragon Teng Army and the Dragon Banner Army were stronger than them, not to mention the Qi Family Army, they were fighting for bayonets At that time, it was an absolutely invincible existence.

This training not only opened Zhou's eyes, but also inspired Ping Koujun, letting him know that there are people beyond people and others beyond the sky.

The Pingkou army used to face all bandits and bandits, and rarely encountered strong enemies. The other armies were different. They not only wiped out the bandits, but also defeated the Mongolian Yuan Iron Cavalry and the Eight Banners.

Accompanied by Zheng Chenggong, Zhu Youjian walked around Anhai Port for a long time, and finally visited Zheng's family house. Zhu Youjian was almost shocked by the development here.

The level of development of Anping Town is no less than that of any place in Ming Dynasty, including Jiangnan.

A pirate can drive the development of a place, making Zhu Youjian look down upon Zheng Zhilong.

As a branch port of Quanzhou, Anhai Port, because of the existence of Zheng Zhilong, turned out to be the center for controlling the power of China's southeast coast in the late Ming Dynasty.

The most eye-opening place for Zhu Youjian was the Zheng's house in Anping Town. Large ships could actually drive directly to the front of the Zheng's house, which was impossible for any mansion.

At noon, Zhu Youjian stayed at Zheng's house for dinner. After the meal, the large troops began to board the ship, and then went straight to Taiwan.

The armored battleship was in front, and the sail warship was behind. They rushed to Taiwan the next day. After a replenishment in Taiwan, all the expeditionary forces were assembled.

There are 130 naval warships, including 5000 armored warships and 5000 sailing warships. The army has [-] people, the navy has [-] people, and the total force has reached [-]. They left Taiwan and went straight to Batavia.

In the past, if you wanted to go to Batavia, you had to go around the entire South China Sea from Fujian, Guangxi, Annan, Siam, Pattani, Malacca, Borneo, and Suruk, and the distance was quite long.

So many warships might frighten those small countries, Zhu Youjian still doesn't want those small countries to know the real strength of Ming, otherwise they would not dare to offend Da Ming, and Da Ming would have no excuse to deal with them.

With the system in hand, I have the world

Does Zhu Youjian still need to make a detour?Of course not.

"System, I want to exchange for the nearest route map from Taiwan to Batavia."

"Ding, the route map has been exchanged successfully, consuming [-] points."
