Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

When he arrived at Sujiazhuang, Li Shimin walked into the yard, and the chairs were empty.

Only Gongsun Lan is practicing sword.

"This little girl is never tired of it."

Cheng Yaojin said.

Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Xiao Lanlan, where is your son?"

Gongsun Lan pointed to the back mountain and said, "I'm training Li Er."

The three of Li Jing turned their heads and smiled secretly.

"I am the emperor, I want to honor the emperor, your majesty, what Li Er Li San."

Li Shimin walked towards the back mountain angrily.

When we arrived at the back mountain, we heard a row of gunshots.

The Musketeers are practicing shooting.

A row of soldiers, holding muskets and firing.

White smoke came out, bullets shot out, and the target was pierced.

Li Jing said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, in front of such musketeers, the horse's armor is vulnerable to a single blow. To charge is to die."

As a veteran on the battlefield, Li Jing knew how powerful he was.

Bows and arrows can still be resisted, but bullets are impossible to defend against.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Otherwise, I will spend 50 billion yuan to buy his Musketeers?"

Su Yu sat on the stand with a sunshade on it.

Xue Ji and Princess Wu Ji waited on the left and right, one was fanning, the other was carrying drinks.

Li Shimin walked over and asked, "My son-in-law, when will you be able to practice well as a Musketeer?"

He was in a hurry and wanted to dispatch troops as soon as possible.

Su Yu said: "Hurry up, they can start after they get used to using guns."

"Old Li, this Musketeer is the killer weapon, infantry and cavalry are still needed."

Although musketeers are powerful, if the enemy rushes to the front, they need infantry to resist.

When chasing and killing fleeing enemies, cavalry are also needed to chase them.

Li Jing said: "You don't need to tell me, we are all ready."

"As long as your Musketeers are trained, we can set off with an army."

Li Shimin and Li Jing were planning in the imperial study room all day long, and these things had already been prepared.

Cheng Yaojin stared at the cold drink in Su Yu's hand, and asked, "My son-in-law, it's so hot, where did you get the ice? Did you chisel it last winter?"

In ancient times, if you wanted to use ice in summer, you had to dig an ice cellar underground, and then go to collect ice in winter and hoard it.

When the summer is hot, take it out and freeze it.

Su Yu said: "No, just made ice. When the saltpeter ore dissolves, it absorbs heat and can be used to make ice."

"Would you like some iced milk tea?"

Cheng Yaojin salivated and said, "I just want to ask for a cup with my son-in-law."

"Wuji, bring Cheng Mangfu a cup."

Su Yu said.

Princess Yaji will go right away.

Xue Ji smiled and said, "Give the Emperor and the two adults a drink too."

Princess House Ji will do it right away.

Li Shimin sat down and watched the shooting range practice shooting.

Princess Wu Ji quickly came up with four cups of iced milk tea.

Li Shimin took the bamboo straw and sucked it in with a sip, it felt cool.

"Comfortable."

Li Shimin leaned on the chair, feeling very comfortable.

"My son-in-law, I have discussed with Li Weigong for many days, and I feel that although your musketeers are good, you have a fatal flaw."

After drinking the iced milk tea, Li Shimin turned to Su Yu and said.

"Well, let's talk about it."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Jing said: "My son-in-law, although your musketeers are formidable."

"But the interval between each shot is too long. From reloading gunpowder to shooting, if you have a fast horse during this period, it is enough to kill you."

Because there was no industrial foundation in the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to make bullets, and only gunpowder and marbles could be used.

Filling gunpowder delays time, which cannot be changed.

Su Yu asked them to practice shooting, in addition to practicing accuracy, they also practiced the speed of loading gunpowder.

"That's right, if I use my yellow pussy horse, I can get there very quickly."

Qin Qiong said.

Su Yu said with a smile: "I invented the musket, how can I not know its shortcomings."

"Old Chen, come here."

Su Yu shouted, and Lao Chen came up from the shooting range.

"Your Majesty, all generals."

Old Chen bowed, which was regarded as a salute.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Lao Chen sat down, and Princess Wu Ji immediately went to get an iced drink.

"Old Li said that our musketeers have flaws and the shooting interval is too long. Tell him how we improved."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Shimin listened attentively.

Old Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the interval between one shot and the next is too long."

"That's why the young master taught them the three-stage attack."

Li Shimin asked: "What is a three-stage strike?"

Princess Yaji came over with a drink.

After Lao Chen drank it in one gulp, the fever in his body improved a lot.

"It's a group of three, one shoots, one prepares, and one loads. In this way, the problem of long shooting intervals is solved."

Old Chen said.

hiss.
Li Shimin frowned and thought: "That's true, a group of three, three rows in front and back, shooting continuously."

Li Jing patted his forehead and said, "Wonderful, in a group of three, shoot non-stop. During this interval, it is difficult for the enemy to rush to the front of the formation."

As for the three-stage strike, many people think it was the invention of Fuso Oda Nobunaga, but in fact, the general Mu Ying of the Ming Dynasty used the three-stage strike tactic.

Oda Nobunaga was born nearly 200 years later than Muying.

Of course, the three strokes of the two people are slightly different.

Su Yu's three-stage strike is an improved version.

"Old Chen, show Lao Li the three-stage attack."

Su Yu smiled slightly.

"okay."

Lao Chen got off the shooting range and asked the soldiers to practice three-stage shooting.

A group of 1000 musketeers was divided into three rows of [-] people each.

There were another 2000 people standing behind.

Old Chen shouted: "Fire!"

The first platoon of musketeers fired, then retreated to the rear to load their muskets for the two men behind them.

At this point, the second platoon fires and then goes to the rear to reload.

At this time, the first row of musketeers has been filled.

Li Jing pinched his fingers and exclaimed, "One breath is enough for one shot."

Li Shimin stood up and craned his neck to watch.

"The two people behind are dedicated to filling gunpowder?"

Li Shimin asked.

Su Yu said with a smile: "Some of these soldiers are good at shooting, and some are good at loading gunpowder. Together, the shooting time interval is greatly reduced."

"This is the improved version of the three-stage attack."

Li Shimin said happily: "Li Weigong, for these musketeers, each soldier's rank is set at the eighth rank, and the captain's rank is at the seventh rank. After meritorious service, they will be promoted."

Li Jing said: "I obey the order."

Thanks to Su Yu's blessing, these soldiers already had ranks before fighting.

The grade is different, and the military salary is also different.

"My son-in-law, Lao Chen has been training Musketeers, and I let him be the General of Musketeers, do you have any objection?"

Li Shimin asked.

"You can discuss this matter with Lao Chen, and tell me what to do."

Su Yu said
"That's fine, I'll discuss it with Old Chen."

Li Shimin said happily.

Although Lao Chen is Li Shimin's son-in-law, he is also a minister of the court.

But Lao Chen always had a better relationship with Su Yu.

Without Su Yu's consent, it would be difficult for Li Shimin to tell Lao Chen.

"Let's go, we've seen enough."

Su Yu got up and went back to the yard, Li Shimin followed.

Back in the yard, Wei Zheng arrived.
