Chapter 157 The Qing Dynasty is in trouble, and the Ming Dynasty is in volleys of gunfire!

"Although the content of the sky curtain just now is a movie from later times, not real."

“But it’s also obviously based on real wars.”

"If nothing else, if they were a little faster in their march, and if they didn't stand still like an idiot after reaching the enemy's front line."

"Practice some evasion, put up some shields."

"That would at least reduce some casualties."

“They are very courageous.”

"But we can't say that later Swedish and Russian soldiers were not afraid of death."

"Because the sky screen just gave a close-up shot, many soldiers were frightened and turned pale, mumbling prayers."

Huan Wen himself couldn't figure it out.

Is this how you play with a musket?

However, Huan Wen knew the gunpowder expert Ge Hong.

He was sitting next to Huan Wen at this time.

So Huan Wen asked Ge Hong.

Ge Hong naturally didn't know the specific reason.

However, as an inventor with a very high IQ, Ge Hong also has strong analytical skills.

Combined with Ge Hong's understanding of some of the characteristics of gunpowder.

Ge Hong gave a guess.

"Replying to the Grand Marshal, based on my recent experiments, I have mastered the refining method and characteristics of gunpowder."

"What is certain is that gunpowder is a very dangerous substance."

"To fully master it, whether it's its power, accuracy, or direction, it's a very complicated matter."

"We looked at the World War II sky screen before, and the gunpowder weapons at that time were already very accurate."

"And this period of time on the sky is clearly many years earlier than World War II."

"Could it be that in that era, the accuracy of gunpowder control was relatively poor?"

"Because the shooting accuracy is so poor, we have to shoot together."

"Only in order to cause damage to the opponent?"

Ge Hong gave his own guess.

Huan Wen felt that there was some truth in this.

But it can't be fully explained.

He continued to look at the sky seriously.

On the sky just now.

The war between Sweden and Tsarist Russia was only the first part.

Subsequently, new content about queuing and shooting appeared.

On the sky, an army in red uniforms appeared.

Just like the army that had appeared before, they were also marching in neat steps to the accompaniment of tunes and drum beats!
The army marked on the sky curtain is the British Army.

……

And opposite the red British Army.

They were the French Bourbon troops in white uniforms.

Although the cheerful tune was still playing on the battlefield.

But the ancients all knew that this was the little bit of peace before the war was about to break out.

At this time, a large number of bullets were also ejected from the sky.

"The Unfortunate Song of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Round-based shooting march."

"Are these lobster soldiers? I heard they were invincible in the world back then?"

"Why are the officers and musicians standing in the front? Aren't they afraid?"

"Nah, is it appropriate to play such a cheerful song on a bloody battlefield?"

"It's appropriate. This song is meant to help soldiers relax."

"When I saw the French army wearing white uniforms, I knew the outcome of the war."

"The soldiers standing in the front row, how much psychological pressure they must be under!"

"Wouldn't it be easier for the other side to shoot if the schedule is so dense? Why not spread it out a bit?"

"The accuracy of guns at that time was very poor, so we had to form a line and fire in unison!"

"Nonsense, even at that time, the hit rate of the skirmish formation was higher than that of the dense square formation."

"What really forced the practice of queuing up for execution and became the mainstream at that time was another reason."

"Why do the British and French troops have braids at the back of their heads?"

"Did the Qing Dynasty lead the world in fashion at that time?"

"This line-up shooting method of warfare is so stupid!"

"I feel that the dense crossbow array of the Qin Dynasty was more efficient than the line-up shooting."

"The later period of queuing and shooting is not bad, but the early period of queuing and shooting will probably be beaten by the Eight Banners!"

It can be seen that even modern netizens are military gods.

I still feel confused.

Not to mention the first time I saw ancient people lined up to be shot.

……

Outside the sky, the ancient people watched the two armies on the sky gradually approaching.

Look at the so-called British lobster soldiers wearing red uniforms.

Gradually approaching the enemy's gun.

On the one hand, he was also nervously looking at the barrage on the sky screen, extracting key information from it.

The British continued to advance.

Approaching the French army opposite.

When the distance between the two sides reached 100 meters, the French army in white could no longer hold back and launched the first round of volleys.

In an instant, some British troops were hit by muskets and knocked to the ground.

The soldiers in the front row just fell down.

The soldiers in the back row immediately filled the position.

The French also continued to shoot.

Round, round, and round.

As the distance shortened, more and more British soldiers fell.

Even the fat British commander standing in the back row was shot and fell down.

See the battle between England and France on the sky screen.

Seeing the British being slaughtered in vain by the French.

The ancients were even more confused.

How can you fight a war like this?
Even a smart man like Zhuge Liang could only cover his head and smile helplessly.

"The battle between Sweden and the Russian army just now can be said to be a round of mutual shooting between the two armies holding muskets with low hit rates." "Then concentrate on the charge."

"And the dense formation is to maintain the power during the charge."

"In order to win in blade combat, we can't disperse."

"But now... the British army on the sky screen was fired upon by the French army on the opposite side for many rounds during its march, and suffered heavy losses!"

"Isn't this just giving the opponent countless casualties for nothing?"

Zhuge Liang was also confused.

But Zhuge Liang was also thinking and analyzing.

"The British army also has muskets, why do they insist on not firing?"

"Are they planning to get to the closest distance, exert maximum accuracy at the closest distance, inflict huge damage in one round, and then charge directly?"

Zhuge Liang's feeling.

This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of.

But Zhuge Liang has not yet figured out the specific causes, consequences and principles.

And on the sky.

The video about the execution by firing squad is still being played.

There are many wonderful movie clips later.

The armies that appeared included the British Army, the Bourbon French Army, the Revolutionary French Army, the Tsarist Army, the Decembrist Army, and even the American Continental Army in the New World, the Southern Army during the Civil War, and the Qing Dynasty's army!

Everyone is playing the game of queue shooting.

And gradually after watching many clips in succession.

The ancients figured out some of the meaning.

Because the ancient people gradually saw it.

During a close-range gunfight.

The side that can keep its composure and fire at the closest distance will often gain the advantage.

And those who fired recklessly and prematurely during the shootout due to lack of training and courage.

They would often be defeated in the subsequent hand-to-hand combat charge.

After watching several videos, the ancients also summed up a lot of factors in that era of queuing for execution.

Except for the ancient people in the Qing Dynasty, no one knew what it meant to be lined up for execution.

But at least I know how to play the queue execution game.

This was an inspiration for dynasties that had firearms.

At the end of Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen looked at the sky and saw that those armies that could hold out until the end before firing would often steadily win the war.

Chongzhen suddenly discovered!
Is it so easy to win?

All you need to do is equip the soldiers with muskets.

In combat, give the order to suppress the guns.

Always stay close to each other.

To the closest distance, 100 meters, 50 meters, or even 30 meters.

The musketry began.

Concentrate on three rounds of shooting, then engage in close combat.

And then you win?
His own Ming army.

It is fully capable of imitating the army in the sky!

Whether it is to form soldiers into a phalanx of muskets.

Or use artillery for support.

And the final hand-to-hand combat.

Just let the soldiers follow the standardized procedures on the sky curtain.

You can exert extremely strong combat effectiveness.

And it is different from the advanced weapons used in World War II that are completely incomprehensible.

The weapons that were lined up for execution under the sky.

But they are all things that the Ming Dynasty can basically reproduce.

Chongzhen was filled with ecstasy!
"The opportunity to build an invincible Ming iron army is coming!"

"Musketeer... yes, muzzle!"

"My Ming dynasty is invincible!"

Chongzhen was very excited.

But after calming down, I suddenly felt a little worried.

"How much does it cost to build a troop equipped with the latest muskets?"

"And it allows soldiers, facing approaching enemies, to suppress their fear and not fire until they are within 50 meters."

"How much hard training does this require?"

Chongzhen couldn't help but miss Qi's army.

"If the peak Qi family army was here, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"

Video playback ends.

The ancients watched the techniques of queuing and shooting in battle.

Watching it with gusto.

As a classic method of warfare that has been popular in modern times for more than two hundred years, netizens have also had heated discussions about queuing and shooting.

……

"There is no other way. At that time, the accuracy of the gun was too low. We had to concentrate to ensure the accuracy."

"Wrong. The dense crowding of stations will cause the hit rate to decrease due to noise and smoke."

"Ah? Then why don't you just spread out and fight?"

"Soldiers: Spread out and play freely? Zundu, fake dudu?"

"Phalanx makes soldiers braver."

"It is all too easy for soldiers in dispersed units to desert."

"The key is the skirmish formation. If you encounter cavalry, you will be defeated."

《Also, if the scattered formation is charged by the enemy's concentrated formation, they will be killed in a bayonet battle.》

"In the early long-range shooting, the Qing army was actually not bad either, and their musket shooting was quite good."

"But as the distance shortened and the volleys were fired at close range, the Qing army basically collapsed."

"By the time the close-range volleys were over and the other side was ready to fight with bayonets, the Qing army had already disappeared."

"In fact, the British army has only fired at close range at 30 meters a few times in history, and their soldiers usually can't suppress it. "

"Although it is not used much, but whenever it is used, it basically leads to victory, and the results are brilliant. "

……

After the execution, new videos emerged.
