Chapter 1482 Training the first musket unit of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1482

Wang Yang smashed his mouth, are you robbing me or hurting me? The official Wang rolled his eyes with some angrily. "Everyone, in fact, the musket designed by Wang cannot be equipped with soldiers on a large scale at present, the most hope is to use an elite cavalry."

Cavalry? The three masters of the three yamen all looked at Wang Yang, and they looked at each other. In the end, Di Yong stood up and said with a smile at Wang Yang.

"I said, Lord Wang, I don't have many cavalrymen in the Song Dynasty, and the cavalry rely on is their fast maneuver power and impact on the formation."

After picking up the not-so-light flintlock rotor musket in his hand, Di Yong continued to say. "Even if the musket is fired quickly, after they rush into the enemy's army, this is probably not as effective as a battle knife."

Wang Hou, who was standing beside him, had a lot of dealing with those nomadic people who were skilled in riding in the northwest, and also raised his objections.

"Yes, Lord Wang, even those cavalrymen can't hold such muskets with one hand, and they can only use both hands to force them at the same time. You can't fire after the horse gallops to the front of the enemy and use this barrel to stab the enemy with this barrel? Even if the soldiers are brave and fearless, even though this tube can use the power of the horse to kill the enemy,..."

"No, no, no, three adults, what I need is not a cavalry that goes forward bravely and penetrates into the hinterland of the enemy formation, but a cavalry that cruisses outside the enemy formation and range, uses the muskets in their hands far beyond the range of ordinary bows and arrows to harass and kill the enemy on a large scale, disrupt the enemy formation, and defeat the enemy's morale."

"Even if the enemy sends cavalry to pursue, they can calmly escape and recharge after the musket is finished shooting, and then turn around to attack the enemy..."

Wang Yangting supports Cao Shi and Wang Hou's ideas. Both of these veteran drivers are quite insidious. One wants to establish and train a group of elite soldiers similar to blockers, specializing in shooting and killing the enemy's middle and lower-level officers, and disrupting the enemy's command system.

The other one's idea made Wang Yang think of the imperial artillery soldiers in the Song Dynasty at the first time. You should know that in order to facilitate their transportation and maintenance of artillery, as well as various operations that require speed and accuracy during wartime, they were unable to wear armor and could not carry cold weapons at all.

Their only armor is the half-body breastplate, and even the helmets are easy to interfere with their operations, so the helmets are just goods that are thrown aside during wartime.

The close-fitting weapons you have are no more than one foot and five short swords hanging around your waist. There is no way, as long as you grow this size, it will easily interfere with the cannon operation of those soldiers.

However, this kind of short-barrel musket is different. The total length of the short-barrel musket is only one foot, and it can even cut the barrel shorter to facilitate those artillery soldiers.

But with this thing, if one day, if the enemy advances, the artillery soldiers no longer rely on the short sword about a foot long like iron to fight against the enemy's spear and great sword.

Just pull out the revolver at your waist, fire, fire, and continue to fire.

After listening to Wang Yang's description and Zhao Ji's support, Di Yong nodded slightly after communicating with the two people around him.

"It is okay to give me the imperial artillery in the Song Dynasty to equip such muskets, but at present, it seems that there is no such urgency for the time being. However, the musket cavalry you mentioned, with the muskets far exceeding the range and crossing power of the crossbow, and the cavalry's speed and wind power. If you really have such an elite force, it will indeed increase the chance of victory on the battlefield."

"Since the three adults think so, I'll ask the three adults to draw out an elite cavalry from the elite of our Song Dynasty imperial guards." Wang Yang smiled and expressed his purpose to the three masters.

"We were originally here at His Majesty's will. First, to appreciate the effectiveness of the firearm developed by Lord Wang. Second, these two are naturally to cooperate with your request. Since you have proposed it, we naturally have to cooperate. Although it is a cavalry of one or two battalions, it may be okay. If there are too many draws..."

"We can't use that much. At present, our reserve of spears is only more than 300. And if we train for a long time, we still need to replace them. Therefore, Wang felt that we needed a battalion of cavalry for the time being."

"A camp? There is no problem with this, but Lord Wang, when will we see the effect?" Cao Shi asked impatiently.

"Three months, three months later, Wang will ask His Majesty to visit the military study of the muslan cavalry. At that time, the elite imperial guards of the Song Dynasty will need to cooperate. Let Your Majesty see if the traditional infantry and cavalry cooperation is powerful, or the cooperation between infantry and cavalry is better."

"Oh, then, I will definitely be there to watch it myself. If the musket cavalry you train can be better, then we will support the establishment of what you call musket cavalry.

"Sir, actually, I don't seem to be optimistic about the muskets we developed. They seem to think that the effectiveness of this weapon is not as powerful as the Yuanyou divine cannon." After saying goodbye to the three masters of the Three Yaya, Zhao Ji turned his head and muttered to Wang Yang in a low voice.

"This is normal, but wait. After we train those musketeers, they will understand that no cold weapon will be able to stop the development of gunpowder weapons." Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Judging from the test shooting experience of the rotary musket, Wang Yang was 100% sure that as long as this thing could have sufficient and rigorous training, the revolver musket cavalry far exceeds that of the Spanish musket cavalry, and it would become a nightmare for all enemies in this world who dared to be hostile to the Song Dynasty and dared to fight in the field.

In the north, the wind and snow have disappeared, and the peninsula is full of greenery. At this moment, the area south of the city wall is full of busy scenes everywhere.

The huge hot air balloon floating high at the top of the northern city wall has almost become a scene in the Liaodong Peninsula. Even on the sea dozens of miles away, you can see the huge balloon floating high above the sky at a glance.

Even many superstitious women who came to Liaodong City for the first time when they traded, they would kneel down to the ground and worship the hot air balloons floating high in the sky.

On the pier, there were endless merchant ships, and a large number of inns and shops were constantly traveling. Many women came to Dalian with all kinds of furs and mountain delicacies to trade with the merchants of the Song Dynasty.
