Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 336

After the first round of cavalry charged, the musketeers who followed the cavalry and reaped the opponent's defeated troops soon entered the field according to the formation.

More than a dozen Musketeers lined up in a half-company firing formation. They did not follow the two-stage fire commonly used by the Protectorate, but stood there straight and loaded the miniature bullets into the barrels of the guns. Then use a looser formation to shoot at the enemy.

Senior Officer Zeng couldn't help being a little puzzled: "Why is their team so scattered?"

But soon he discovered a bigger problem, "Aren't these people firing their guns too fast?"

Since the first battle of Dulonggang, Zengtou City has also attached great importance to the construction of Musketeers. Now the soldiers in Zengtou City have organized a musketeer team with more than a hundred people, and the equipment is exactly what Sun Xin's previous protection army eliminated. The rifled guns that came down, but no matter how much they trained, the shooting speed they trained was not half that of the students who were practicing off-field.

Sun Xin said with a smile: "This is the effect of our newly installed bowl-shaped bullet. This bullet is easy to load and accurate to shoot at the same time."

Since the replacement of the Minie bullets, the infantry's individual shooting accuracy has greatly increased, and there is no need to use such a tight formation to take the opponent's guns, although for ordinary infantry, skirmish formations are still likely to slip. , but when attacking the enemy's rout, it is natural to use more scattered shooting to reduce the chance of being shot.

Looking at the rapidly firing rifleman, Zeng Daguan and Zeng Tu both frowned.

If you use this kind of riflemen to attack your team in Zengtou City, even if you pull out your own musketeers to shoot at them, your musketeers will be scattered by such steady and intensive shooting in a short time .

As for the general infantry, under this ruthless shooting, they don't even have a chance to advance.

After the Musketeers left the field, they finally saw Zeng Sheng. At this time, Zeng Sheng was wearing the uniform of a student soldier, and his face was much darker than before. After more than a year of training, Zeng Sheng's body has become stronger, but with In the past, what martial arts practitioners pursued was different. Zeng Sheng's body was full of lumps and dead flesh. His combat effectiveness might have dropped a bit when he stretched his arms to fight against others, but he ran fast when he pulled up the cannon cart.

Zeng Sheng followed a few artillery cadets to handle a bronze field cannon. After proficiently pulling the small cannon to the intended position with a horse-drawn horse, they divided the labor and worked together to stuff the explosive pack into the gun chamber and insert the firing fuse to calibrate it. Muzzle angle.

It took less than half a quarter of an hour for the cannon chess to be erected, and the small flag was waved down with an order. The gunner held up the torch to light the fire, and the gunners such as Zeng Sheng turned their backs and covered it with their hands. Ears, the wild cannon spewed out flames in an instant.

The sound of guns rumbled, and the hills shook.

Master Zeng snatched the binoculars from Zeng Suo, whose face was already pale, and looked at the plank wall erected as a target in the distance.

Three shots and two hits, the wooden wall made of huge pine boards bounced off the first shell, but the structure was damaged, and it finally shattered when the second shell hit.

The artillery in Sunjiazhuang is the only thing that Sun Xin strictly prohibits exporting. It is not easy to make this thing. Even if it is scrapped, it has to be taken back to the iron workshop to be melted into copper water and then poured. If a part pops out, you have to ask where it fell. up.

But this is also the weapon that people in Zengtou City fear the most.

During this period of time, Sunjiazhuang's bronze cannons themselves did not improve much, but under the control of the first batch of rigorously trained artillery cadets, the power of the artillery was much stronger than when it was defending Dulonggang at that time.

This group of students has already mastered this little cannon, and they memorized all the shooting tables in their hearts. If they want to pass the exam, the most basic thing is to give a thumbs up and use the simple observation and tracing method to ensure that they can hit the mark [-] steps away within three cannons. target.

Looking at the distance between the cannon muzzle and the wooden wall on the hilltop in the distance, the accuracy has already stunned the people in Zengtou City.

Today's exercise showed the level of Sunjiazhuang's most sophisticated armed forces. Sun Xin looked at the faces of the few people who came up from Zengtou City and knew that his goal had been achieved.

He smiled deeply at Lu Zhi: "Master Lu asked someone to find Zeng Sheng."

Lu Zhi nodded deeply.

Several people in Zengtou City were silent, and after a while Zeng Sheng received the news and ran happily to his father, Shi Wengong and his two elder brothers.

After several people had dinner together, Senior Officer Zeng called Zeng Sheng to stand in front of him, and asked him carefully about what he had studied in college.

Seeing Zeng Sheng excitedly tell what he saw and learned in the military university, his face was full of wanting to share with his father, but the more officials Zeng listened, the more he became silent.

He finally couldn't help but asked Zeng Sheng: "Fifth Brother, will you return to our Zengtou City in the future or stay in Sunjiazhuang?"

Zeng was dumbfounded, and looked at him timidly.

"Daddy, I want to stay in Sunjiazhuang... I studied artillery. If I go back to Zengtou City, these things will be useless."

In fact, Master Zeng could have guessed the result when he heard Zeng Sheng's hesitation, but at this moment he sighed deeply in his heart.

Zeng Sheng was a little guilty. In fact, he lied. The things he learned in the Artillery Department were not useless, and many of them could still be of great use when they returned to Zengtou City.

But Zeng Sheng stayed in Sunjiazhuang for a year, and he only felt that he liked this place more and more, and he also liked the system of the Supervisory Committee. He even thought about joining the Protection Party.

Of course, he knew Sun Xin very well, and he didn't fully believe in the atmosphere of loyalty to Sun Xin in the Protection Party, but he had a feeling in his heart that if he returned to Zengtou City, he would be the son of a landlord's family all his life, but he would stay behind. In Sunjiazhuang, it is possible for him to make contributions.

Long-term propaganda by the Protecting Army has made him pursue the grand ideal of protecting the country and family. His vision is completely different from that of Zeng Sheng who only cared about the interests of his family a year ago.

If he wanted to have his own status in the Baobao Army, Zeng Sheng had to join the Baobao Party.

Mr. Zeng was stunned for a long time, and asked Zeng Sheng to go back first. Zeng Sheng walked away after taking a step and turning his head. Mr. Zeng sighed.

Today he came to Sunjiazhuang to ask Zeng Suo to apologize because he was actually afraid of Sun Xin's forces. Mr. Zeng knew that Zeng Suo's son was too stubborn, so he must still be unconvinced, but they can no longer offend Sun Xin in Zeng Tou City. Even if Zeng Suo wanted to resist Sun Xin, it was really irrational for him to reveal his purpose so quickly.

But even though he already had feelings for Sun Xin in his heart, the astonishment and fear of Senior Official Zeng when he saw the military capabilities of the Supervisory Committee today was still hard to dispel.

He hopes to ensure the union between himself and Sun Xin, but he is also afraid that Sun Xin will eat up his power.

After much deliberation, there is only one way to surrender.

Just like those other big households under the control of Sun Xin's protectors, and under his supervisory committee.

Mr. Zeng got up and walked out of the small courtyard. On the road, he saw another person on the road, looking at the moon in the sky through the shade of trees beside the field ridge.

"Zeng Suo, why don't you go to bed so late?"

Zeng Suo turned around quickly.

"Daddy...I..."

Senior Officer Zeng shook his head: "Stop talking, he has already forgiven you for being able to kneel in front of Sun Xin today, he dare not do anything to us, don't do this kind of thing again, this matter will be over .”

Zeng Suo was speechless.

Seeing the way his brows were tightly furrowed, Master Zeng asked, "You have seen Sun Xin's strength today, right?"

Both of them knew that the reason for each other's melancholy was precisely because of Sun Xin's exercise in the military academy today.

Only through that exercise did the two understand that Sun Xin's power has become so strong that they can take down Zengtou City as long as they put aside their face.

"Daddy, I don't agree."

Master Zeng's expression changed instantly.

"Haven't you seen it clearly? How can we fight against him with a team like today?"

Zeng Suo still gritted his teeth. He is in his 30s, but the self-confidence on his face still refuses to diminish.

"What kind of thing is he? He is just a military household. He can grow into this appearance in a few years. I am also a human being. I am no worse than him in terms of character and martial arts. When I go to our house, I will sit in the room and lie down on the ground. Compared with when he started fighting Isn't the situation much better?"

"Daddy, you have taught us since we were young. We are people from the Kingdom of Jin. How much hard work did we have to fight to create such a family in the Great Song Dynasty? Now we sit back and watch others kill and rob us. Are we going to accept it? he goes?"

Seeing San Zengsuo's disapproving expression, Zeng Daguan shook his head and said, "Go back to the yard now! Don't do anything stupid."

"Daddy, let's train soldiers too!"

Zeng Suo said with a face full of resentment: "Dad, don't you know? I don't know what the fifth younger brother told you earlier. After Zeng Sheng entered the courtyard, he looked relaxed. He must not go back to our Zeng head. City gone."

Master Zeng's face trembled.

Zeng Suo continued: "Do you want us in Zengtou City to only listen to his Sun Xin's orders, and our Zeng family will rely on his Sun Xin to be a powerful party in the future?"

"Then if he, Sun Xin, wants to eat us in the future, what should we do in Zengtou City?"

Senior officer Zeng took a deep breath, and looked at his third son with tiger eyes: "You provoke me so much because you are dissatisfied with Sun Xin. You also know what is going on in Zengtou City, so how can you fight him?"

"Daddy, it's true that I don't accept him, even if you cut off your head today, I will still say that I don't accept him!"

"Dad, are you willing to swallow your anger and give up like this?"
Senior Officer Zeng shook his head in disappointment: "After all these things, you should grow up. Do you really think that you can pull out a Sun Family Village just like him with your ability?"

"Sometimes people are really incomparable. It is a good thing to know that there is a sky beyond the sky. This Sun Xin is not a short-sighted person. He will not eat us in Zengtou. If he can eat us, I am afraid we will ask him to eat it." Woolen cloth."

Seeing the change of color on Zeng Suo's face, Zeng Daguan gritted his teeth for a long time.

He was going to continue to say something, but he was surprised to see Zeng Suo in front of him crying.

"I have never been subjected to such humiliation. Today I kneel in front of Sun Xin. I am also a man of seven feet. Why should I kneel to him?"

"Daddy, do you really hope that our Zeng family can't produce a character like Sun Xin?"

"Wouldn't it be a good thing if our Zengtou City could be bigger than our family? Why do you all turn to Sun Xin?"

Seeing Zeng Suo weep bitterly, Zeng Daguan was finally moved.
