I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 683 I am a high-tech talent!

Yang Guian turned around and saw Deputy Captain Zhongwu, who was sitting on the ground with legs apart, holding a straw in his mouth, looking at him with squinted eyes, his chin slightly raised, his eyes full of provocation.

This guy has a face full of flesh and is strong and powerful. I can't beat him.

"Hello, Vice Captain Sun!"

"They said your name is Yang Guian?"

"Yes."

"From the Royal Guards?"

"Yes." Yang Guian puffed out his chest.

"New recruit."

"That Lieutenant Sun, I'm not a rookie. I've received military training."

"Really? Then let me ask you, do you recognize the gun you are holding?"

"Of course I know it. It's the Longqing Type 2 Cavalry Smoothbore Musket."

"and then?"

"It belongs to the Longqing Type 2 flintlock smoothbore musket series. There is the Longqing Type 2 standard smoothbore musket, which is equipped most by the army. The others are the Longqing Type 2 naval smoothbore musket, the Longqing Type 2 cavalry smoothbore musket, and the artillery smoothbore musket."

"You have memorized the book well."

Lieutenant Sun shook his head.

The sunlight shone through the dense leaves, casting spots of light on his young face, and a sneer could be vaguely seen at the corner of his mouth.

"What books are good to memorize? The first lesson in military training shooting is to familiarize yourself with firearms.

The Longqing Type 2 smoothbore rifle was the result of five years of development at the Gun Bureau, from the bird gun to the Type 45 smoothbore rifle, and was finally finalized after several actual combat tests.

The standard version is 150cm long, or 1.5m long, with a 40cm long triangular bayonet. The barrel is 115cm long, weighs 4,500g, and has a caliber of 18mm. The biggest difference between it and the Type 45 smoothbore rifle is that the breech is a stamped diamond shape.

The cavalry smoothbore rifle was shortened to 140 cm in length and the barrel to 100 cm, while the rest of the caliber, trigger and bayonet remained unchanged.

The Navy's is the same size as the Cavalry's, but to prevent rust, its main parts are made of brass.

The artillery is designed for self-defense by artillerymen. The total length of the gun is shortened to 130 cm, and the barrel is shortened to 92 cm. The caliber and other parts remain unchanged. "

Deputy Captain Sun's eyes flashed with a strange color, "Not bad, there is something good. Continue."

“Just keep going!

The Longqing Type 2 smoothbore gun uses customized ammunition paper tubes and fires 26-gram customized lead bullets. It shoots at a wooden target that is 1.8 meters high and 60 centimeters wide. The hit rate at 100 meters is 95%, at 150 meters it is 70%, and at 200 meters it is 48%.

With a volley of three shots arranged in three teams, five square targets with a side length of two meters, the hit rate for a thousand shots at a distance of one hundred meters is 534, for a thousand shots at a distance of one hundred fifty meters it is 321, for a thousand shots at two hundred meters it is 250, and for a thousand shots at three hundred meters it is 140. *”

In the spot of light, a smile finally appeared on Lieutenant Sun's face.

"Yes, there is a trick."

"That's for sure. We Jinyiwei are all high-end talents."

"High-end? What's that? A sharp mind?" Lieutenant Sun shook his head. "In recent years, new terms have emerged one after another. How come you, a high-end talent of the Jinyiwei, were kicked into my team?"

"I don't know either. I was ordered to leave Sinan City and contact the Fourth Division. After I contacted them, I didn't stay in the staff office for a day before Division Commander Deng ordered all the personnel in the division headquarters to carry their guns and go to the front line except for the necessary personnel.

I was given a gun and assigned to you."

"Oh, the reconnaissance team has found Yang Zhaolong's trail, and we are going to ambush them here. Commander Deng is afraid that there are not enough troops to keep all of them, so he issued a mobilization order."

"Ambush here?" Yang Guian looked ahead.

This is a common "dam" in Guizhou, 14 or 15 miles long from east to west and less than 2 miles wide from north to south. In the middle of the dam is a river 3 or 4 meters wide, with shallow and slow water, dividing the dam into two.

The flat area in the north is wider, and the flat area in the south is narrower.

A stone bridge is built over a small river, with green rice fields on both sides of the river. When the mountain breeze blows, the rice ears sway like waves.

The Miao people's characteristic stilt houses are densely packed on the hillside at the end of the western dam.

In the middle of the rice fields, on the north side of the stream, there is a road more than two meters wide, which is the official road. There are two small roads no more than one meter wide on the north and south sides of the hillside.

There were high mountains and dense forests on both sides, and Yang Guian and Deputy Captain Sun's Left Guard Regiment were lying in ambush in the dense forest on the southern hillside.

"Why, do you think the feng shui here is bad?" Deputy Captain Sun spat out the grass roots in his mouth.

"What's bad feng shui? Why bother with feng shui in a war? The main thing is that this dam is a bit big. Yang Zhaolong has 10,000 men. Our Fourth Division can't surround him."

"We can't surround them, but we have to fight. I heard that Commander Deng was so worried about choosing an ambush site. He finally chose this place. Other places are even worse."

Yang Guian muttered, "This is a bully who is forcing himself on me. He is forcing me to cook this half-cooked rice."

"Yes, that's what I mean. Even if we disperse them, it's better than letting them go back to Bozhou Xuanweisi City. The First Division has already surrounded the city, and it will be captured in the next few days. We can't let these guys run over and cause trouble."

"I heard that Bozhou Xuanweisi City is very strategic. Is the First Division so confident?"

"Commander Chen brought 20,000 kilograms of gunpowder, which was loaded on more than 300 Sichuan horses."

"Hit it hard!"

"If we don't force them, will we have to sacrifice our brothers' lives?"

"That's definitely not possible."

Deputy Captain Sun glanced at Yang Guian.

"Okay, based on what you said, I accept you as a rookie."

"Deputy Captain Sun, I'm not a rookie. I'm a top talent of the Imperial Guard."

"Haha, you're an interesting guy. Where are you from?"

"Jiangxi."

"Why did Jiangxi come to work in Hunan?"

"I am from Linchuan, Fuzhou, Jiangxi, and I am a fellow villager of Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty. I was still a student at the age of 20, with no future. It happened that Wang Duxian was fighting bandits in Jiangxi, so I joined the army. By chance, I was assigned to work as a clerk in the governor's office.

After a few years of this, I came to Hunan and worked in the Hunan Dispatching Bureau of the Zhenfu Division. "

"It's just a coincidence that a Jiangxi native went to Hunan to work.

To be honest, there are people from all over the country in my camp. Your fellow Jiangxi people are far away, over there. Look, those street thugs are from Guangdong, and those crazy guys are from Guangxi. The ones in front of us are from Fujian. "

As Lieutenant Sun spoke, he picked up a small stone and threw it over, hitting a lieutenant right on the helmet.

A slight bang startled him, and he turned around and cursed, "Selynmu!"

Yes, it is indeed from Fujian.

"Where is Vice Captain Sun from?"

"I'm from Chalingwei, a fellow villager of Xiyagong Li Dongyang. I was taken away by my brother-in-law two years ago, and I only had time to participate in the Guangdong-Guangxi bandit suppression, and I only got the position of battalion commander.

By the way, my brother-in-law is close to your Jinyiwei. "

"Who is your brother-in-law?"

"The Hunan Police Department is strictly guarding its affairs."

Yang Guian was pleasantly surprised, "You are Yan Dushi's brother-in-law!"

"Do you know my brother-in-law?"

"I am the deputy director and chief of the investigation section of the Hunan Dispatching Bureau of the Pacification Division. I have dealt with Director Yan many times."

"Fuck, I didn't expect you to be a deputy city clerk?"

Just as Yang Guian was about to answer, a messenger came running over.

"Captain Sun."

"exist!"

"The regiment ordered that the enemy was coming from the east to the west and was less than five miles away from the dam. Ten minutes later, the entire army remained silent.

Once the enemy enters the ambush circle in the dam, all battalions and companies are not allowed to open fire without authorization. They must wait until three red flares are fired before they can open fire.

Your battalion's firing range is from the stone bridge in the east to the two acacia trees in the west."

"Sun Xueguan, the battalion commander of the second battalion of the Left Guard Regiment, has received the order!" Sun Xueguan repeated the order. After the messenger checked that it was correct, he saluted and left quickly.

"Fuck, it's time to get started. The company commanders of the Second Battalion are here for a meeting."

Sun Xueguan passed the order down and arranged the combat tasks, and the company commanders of each company went down to arrange the combat tasks.

Ten minutes later, the forests on both sides of the dam suddenly became extremely quiet, and the chirping of insects and birds slowly began to sound again. The mountain wind blew the leaves, making a rustling sound, which made the silence even more intense.

Half an hour later, a group of people riding Sichuan horses appeared on the official road by the river, galloping from east to west, raising a cloud of dust.

Ten minutes later, two groups of people came running on the official road. They wore bamboo hats, indigo coarse cloth short-sleeved shirts and wide-leg pants. They were wearing straw sandals and jogging on the muddy road.

The Miao Daos on their waists swung with clanging sounds as they walked. Some soldiers carried crossbows and quivers on their backs, while others carried long spears, their faces covered in sweat.

Bozhou soldiers also ran over on the small path at the foot of the hill.

Yang Guian squatted in the dense forest, looking at the mountain less than 50 meters away, and could clearly hear the soldiers' panting.

In the silent forest, the sound of running shoes and panting could be heard, and from time to time, the soldiers from Bozhou could be heard complaining.

"Damn it, I've been running for four days. I ran all the way from Sinan City to here in one breath. I'm almost running myself to death."

"Are you in such a hurry to attend the funeral?"

"Be careful, if they hear you, they'll chop you up."

"Chop the fuck off! My life is about to die. I can save my breath by chopping it off."

At this moment, Sun Xueguan seemed like a different person. He pursed his lips slightly and looked serious, which was completely different from his nonchalant look just now.

He kept gesturing around and giving orders to his company commanders.

Under the command of the company and platoon leaders, the soldiers of the Left Guard Regiment, holding their muskets, bent their waists and legs, and walked slowly and carefully down the hillside.

After walking a few steps, he leaned against a tree, adjusted his breathing, and tried not to make any noise.

"Everyone in the team, take a rest here for an incense stick!"

There was a man riding a horse on the official road at the foot of the hill, shouting loudly on the road.

"Wow!"

The Bozhou soldiers on the path at the foot of the hill went limp and sat down on the muddy ground, leaning against the grass on the hillside. The only sound in the entire forest was the panting sound.

"Damn it, I'm so tired!"

"Fuck him, immortal board!"

The soldiers began to curse softly.

On the hillside, Sun Xueguan stood still and gestured quickly around, asking the company commanders to control their subordinates and not make any noise.

Yang Guian and others held their muskets, leaned against the trees, and took long breaths to calm their nervous mood.

Suddenly, several young soldiers stood up, turned their heads to look at the dense forest on the hillside, and started shouting.

"Old man, is there anyone in the forest?"

"Someone? There's a hammer!"

"There's a ghost in this desolate forest!"

"No, I heard the noise too."

"If you think there's someone there, go up and take a look."

"What the hell, I'm going alone."

Sun Xueguan gestured to the people around him, signaling everyone to move forward.

According to his experience, the time to open fire was imminent.

Seeing the soldiers on both sides raising their muskets and walking down carefully, Yang Guian gritted his teeth, turned away from the tree, bent his waist and legs, and slowly moved down.

The mountain wind suddenly stopped, the rustling sound of the leaves swaying also quieted down, and the footsteps of thousands of people were no longer covered and seemed a bit noisy.

More and more Bozhou soldiers stood up and looked towards the dense forest in confusion.

"Son of a bitch, go and tell the commander that there's an ambush!"

With three "bangs", three red flares flew over the dam.

In the dense forest, the sound of copper whistles rose and fell, beep-beep-beep, short and sharp, piercing the eardrums.

Most of the Bozhou soldiers who were sitting stood up and looked at the dense forest on the hillside in horror. Some of them involuntarily walked a few steps into the fields on the side of the road.

"Boom!"

Gunshots were heard from all over the dam, like thousands of firecrackers ignited and exploded rapidly in a short period of time, followed by the sound of lead bullets breaking through the wind.

Thousands of Bozhou soldiers were lined up on the small road at the foot of the north and south slopes. Lead bullets whizzed over the hillside, flew over a distance of thirty or forty meters, and instantly hit hundreds of Bozhou soldiers.

Hundreds of blood flowers bloomed, and screams rose and fell.

"Dong dong!"

The mortars were firing.

"Ugh——!"

The mortar shell drew an arc in the air and flew towards the place where the Bozhou soldiers were concentrated in the dam.

"boom!"

The mortar shell hit the ground, the fuse burned out, and it exploded with a bang.

"boom--!"

The six-jin mountain cannon is firing.

"call--!"

Buckshot flew in the air and rushed into the Bozhou soldiers, causing a bloody storm.

The soldiers next to him were loading ammunition quickly. Yang Guian was a little panicked and had to bite the customized ammunition oil paper twice before it broke through.

After pouring the primer into the primer pool and erecting the musket, Yang Guian suddenly remembered that the lid of the primer pool was not closed, and all the primer had poured out due to the shake just now.

"What a bastard!"

Yang Guian threw away the preloaded ammunition in his hand and took out another preloaded ammunition from the ammunition box.

Inhale, exhale, don't be nervous, don't make mistakes. If the chamber explodes accidentally, you'll become a one-eyed dragon. What a beautiful face I have.

Pour the medicine in and cover the lid.

Bite open the second piece of paper, pour all the propellant inside into the muzzle, then crumple the lead bullet in the paper tube together with the oil paper into a ball and stuff it into the muzzle.

He took out the cleaning rod and thrust it hard into the chamber of the gun.

The cleaning rod must be taken out and put back in place!
Yang Guian silently recited the operating rules in his mind, raised his gun, and pulled the flint hammer. He held the gun horizontally and aimed at the panicked Bozhou soldiers 30 meters away.

There were flashes of fire, billowing black smoke, and explosions of gunfire. The Bozhou soldier's back was covered in blood, and he fell to the ground in the flooded rice field.

Yes, I am worthy of being a high-level talent of the Jinyiwei. I fired the second shot so smoothly.

Yang Guian quickly loaded the third round of ammunition, and Sun Xueguang came up from behind and kicked him.

"Go down, follow them! Go down and shoot. If they get scattered and run too far, we won't be able to shoot accurately."

Yang Guian followed the soldiers and rushed down the hillside of thirty or forty meters.

Some quick-moving soldiers had already rushed to the path at the foot of the hill, stood next to the bodies of the Bozhou soldiers, and raised their guns to shoot at the Bozhou soldiers who were fleeing in all directions in the fields.

Yang Guian also rushed to the path.

Damn, it's only a thirty or forty meter downhill road, but my heart is beating so fast, as if I've been chased by a dog for dozens of miles.

Yang Guian, panting, held a loaded musket and was looking for a target. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the ditch next to him and pounced on him.

Yang Guian trembled and jumped back suddenly.

Damn, there is an enemy attack!
