After conducting a general inspection of these weapons, Liu Xuanchu spoke.
"Randomly select a few pieces from them and conduct specific experiments!"
After Liu Xuanchu gave the order, the sergeant Guan Ning in charge of acceptance accepted the order with his fists clasped and began to prepare for the test.
Randomly pull out a box from that box, take out the accessories one by one, and place them in categories.
A sergeant Guan Ning picked up the musket and quickly completed the loading under the command of the Ming Dynasty personnel.
Then aim at a target almost fifty steps away!
The human-shaped wooden target was covered with a layer of cotton armor and a layer of chain mail, which were the double-layered armor equipment used by Manchu heavy infantry in the past.
Inside the stomach, there was also a sheep that had just been slaughtered!
With a snap, after taking aim, Sergeant Guan Ning pulled the trigger!
A cloud of gunpowder smoke erupted from the muzzle, and a distorted projectile that was squeezed in the barrel of the gun came out.
The projectiles rolled and rotated in the air, heading towards the wooden target!
The next moment, the projectile hit the wooden target and penetrated the cotton armor and chain armor covered by the wooden target. A big hole was also made in the newly slaughtered sheep...
After Liu Xuanchu sent someone to check the condition of the target, he couldn't help but be frightened.
The Ming Dynasty's muskets are really sharp, even if they don't use match ropes, their armor-piercing capabilities are so powerful.
"Try sword and bayonet again!"
Liu Xuanchu ordered.
After he finished speaking, Sergeant Guan Ning prepared to start the experiment.
It was still the same target. Sergeant Guan Ning put the three-edged bayonet on the muzzle of his gun and stabbed it hard towards the target.
With a pop, the layer of cotton armor outside the target was pierced.
It's a pity that I couldn't pierce the chainmail!
The armor-piercing ability of this three-edged bayonet is very strong. Although it is not as good as a spear, it is certainly much stronger than some swords.
Then comes the test of the sword!
The sword struck the cotton armor with a clanging sound, but the effect of breaking the armor was not good.
However, the steel covering the blade was not damaged and was still sharp.
Such a sword would not be effective against armored enemies.
But if it is just used to deal with unarmored enemies, it is definitely very useful.
But then again, the enemies of Guan Ning's army are basically unarmored nomads.
In addition to these, Guan Ningjun also tested hand crossbows, armor and other weapons one after another!
But the most important thing is actually the test of the artillery!
A gun was selected, loaded and aimed, and fired.
Amidst the deafening roar of artillery, a shell was ejected from the muzzle, heading towards the target ahead like a meteor.
Those are a bunch of straw men tied up with straw!
The cannonball landed accurately among the grass-crowds, rolling and spinning, scattering grass clippings from the grass-crowds.
After testing the solid bullets, Liu Xuanchu also ordered people to experiment with different types of artillery shells such as blooming bullets and shotgun shells.
The power is very impressive!
I can only say that its accuracy and power are worthy of the price offered by Daming.
…
Liu Xuanchu took over the arms and handed over the cattle and sheep to the person in charge of the Ming Dynasty opposite. The two parties completed the trade in a tacit understanding.
And agreed on the next delivery time!
Liu Xuanchu quickly took these arms and returned to Lanzhou City to report the specific results to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui looked at the large amount of arms and ordered.
"Send the order and prepare to mobilize a group of people from the army to form a pure weapon force."
Looking at the weapons and equipment in front of him, Wu Sangui felt amazed, but as a general with rich war experience, he would not evenly distribute these weapons to the various troops below.
Because he knew that the Ming Army's tactics were different from those of the Guan Ning Army, and the Ming Army's individual equipment was the most suitable for the Ming Army's tactics.
If he wanted to bring out the power of these weapons and equipment, it would be best to re-select the manpower and form an army that uses the Ming Army's tactics and individual equipment.
That's the so-called Ming Weapon Army!
Instead of distributing these equipment evenly!
Just when Guan Ning's army received the Ming's arms, Wu Sangui began to form an army of Ming weapons.
On the banks of Qinghai Lake, on the endless prairie!
Groups of elite cavalry from the Guan Ning Army were fighting against the cavalry from the Zhungeer tribe.
The battle is fierce!
…
The sound of horns and the symphony of war drums are deafening!
In the fields outside Incheon, the clouds of war are heavy!
The main force of the Qing army advanced to the outside of Incheon in a mighty manner. King Li Di of North Korea personally sat in Incheon and then ordered the army to leave the city and face the ground.
In the endless wilderness, the two armies kept approaching each other.
Big flags were flying high, and capable cavalry galloped on the battlefield.
Ding Shitou was riding on horseback, wearing heavy cotton armor.
His body was constantly rising and falling as the horse galloped, and sweat began to ooze from the palm of his hand holding the bow and arrow.
But it was not because of nervousness, but because the weather was too hot and he was still wearing cotton armor.
Under the blazing sun, groups of elite Qing soldiers galloped on the battlefield, and the ground seemed to be shaking under the feet of their horses' hooves.
Between heaven and earth, suddenly there was only the rumble of horse hooves!
The Koreans managed to set up a strict military formation outside Incheon City, near the Han River, but it seemed quite weak in front of the roaring cavalry of the Qing army.
Li Di stood at the top of the city of Incheon, looking at the battlefield outside the city, his palms also sweating.
However, the sweat on his palms indicated that he was really nervous.
After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that the battle outside the city is related to the life and death of North Korea!
Under Li Di's eyes, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.
The Qing cavalry passed by the Korean formation. At the moment of passing by, they loosened their bowstrings and their arrows flew away.
Phew! Phew!
Arrows fell like rain, constantly hitting the Korean military formation, and clouds of blood exploded.
Countless people fell under the gunfire, and their screams were ear-piercing.
At the same time, the North Koreans also began to fight back.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The bow strings trembled continuously, and arrows were shot towards the Qing cavalry.
However, facing the Qing cavalry wearing heavy armor and running fast, the killing effect of Korean bows and arrows was not very obvious.
Although there were also casualties on the Qing army side, scattered people fell off their horses and fell to the ground.
But such casualties were nothing but trouble for the Qing army!
Some people in the Korean army also used bird guns to fight back, but the quality of the Korean bird guns was worse than our Ming Dynasty bird guns.
[Recommended, the Huanyuan app is really useful for chasing books. Download huanyuanapp here. You can try it soon.]
The number of casualties caused to themselves after the bird gun exploded was more than the number of casualties caused to the Qing army.
There were endless screams and shouts of killing on the battlefield!
Ding Shitou rode past the Korean military formation and fired three missed arrows in succession. Almost every missed arrow could cause casualties to the Koreans.
However, three missed arrows in a row also caused severe pain in his arm.
Bows and arrows are also very laborious to operate!
Even if you look at the shooters on game TV, they are all weaklings with very fragile bodies, but that is the inherent impression given by entertainment processing.
Real archers are very strong!
How could an archer who can use a bow with a draw weight of tens of kilograms be so weak?
Each one of them has an average arm that is thicker than a normal person’s thigh!
Since ancient times, archers have been synonymous with elites!
As long as the archers are equipped with armor, their hand-to-hand combat capabilities will be very strong on the battlefield.
But even so, after continuously drawing the bow, the archer's arm will still feel sore.
Controlling the horse with one hand, Ding Shitou recovered his right arm.
He exerted a little too much force just now, and it seems like he had a cramp, but it's not a big problem and he'll be fine as soon as he recovers.
After Ding Shitou and others passed by the Korean formation, the next round of mounted shooting began quickly.
Collapse! Collapse!
The bowstring trembled incessantly, and arrows were missing one by one, flying in the sky as if they were free, forming a dense rain of arrows.
The metal arrow reflected the cold light under the sunlight.
Facing the fine cavalry of the Qing army who roared in and roared away after cavalry shooting, the Korean military formation was visibly in chaos.
The Koreans were not good at fighting, and it was very difficult to support the Qing army's elite cavalry, which was coming in force.
If the Qing army's harassment had not just begun, they would have collapsed!
Farther away, war drums kept ringing!
King Li Di of North Korea personally beat drums to encourage the army, hoping that the North Koreans could repel the invading Qing cavalry on their own.
Buzz! Buzz!
Amidst the dull sound of horns, the infantry of the Qing army pressed onto the battlefield little by little.
After the newly attached Korean soldiers were driven to slaughter the city several times, they began to feel somewhat loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
Wearing armor captured from North Korea and armed with swords, guns and spears, they formed a chaotic military formation and rushed forward under the supervision of the Eight Banners soldiers.
Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, the formations of the two armies intersected!
Chopping with long knives and stabbing with long spears, the two sides strangled each other!
While the two sides were fighting fiercely on the frontal battlefield, the Qing army's cavalry continued to attack and harass the Korean army on both sides.
Cooperate with and provide opportunities for positive breakthroughs.
Arrows are missing like locusts!
Every time the sharp scimitar passed by, it seemed to take away lives.
The machete passed over the neck, tearing open the flesh and blood!
The hard neck bones were also cut open with a machete, and the heads were thrown away.
The Qing army's cavalry and shooting attacks left the Korean army unable to respond.
Especially the noise caused when the Qing cavalry charged and killed countless Korean soldiers.
The sharp scimitar flies up and down, easily taking away lives!
Even on the frontal battlefield where the infantry of both sides met, the Koreans were unilaterally suppressed.
Under the supervision of the Eight Banners soldiers, the combat effectiveness of those Korean soldiers was quite powerful!
It's almost a unilateral suppression of the Koreans!
"kill!"
"Break Incheon and plunder for three days!"
"Attack Incheon, don't seal the sword for three days!"
"But anyone who retreats without permission will die!"
"..."
Slogans kept coming one after another.
Those Korean soldiers who surrendered were greatly inspired, and kept moving forward, fighting bravely.
That ferocious appearance is full of intimidation!
"kill!"
"Break the formation!"
Only half an hour had passed since the fighting between the two sides, and the Korean front line had already been overwhelmed.
There are countless corpses lying on the battlefield!
Broken limbs and broken arms were everywhere, and blood flowed into streams.
The smell of blood is tangy!
The North Korean cavalry had just entered the battlefield and were overwhelmed by the Qing cavalry in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry of both sides only clashed with each other for one round, and the North Korean cavalry was completely annihilated on the battlefield.
The cavalry gap between the two sides is not generally large!
The cavalry of the Qing army were all brave men who fought on the battlefield, but the North Korean cavalry could not even ride a horse well.
"kill!"
"Trapped!"
"..."
The Korean front line collapsed quite quickly, while the Qing army continued to charge.
Wrapping up the defeated Korean troops, they wanted to charge directly at their Chinese army.
Deafening shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Qing army's offensive surged like waves.
More and more North Korean soldiers collapsed, dropped their weapons, turned around and ran away.
The North Korean soldiers responsible for supervising the battle couldn't hold it back at all!
Boom!
Deafening roars resounded through the battlefield, and teams of Qing troops' elite cavalry outside the battlefield completed their formation and roared into the battlefield.
The ground trembles under the trampling of horse hooves!
Teams of elite cavalry charged into the formation with the momentum of a landslide and tsunami, and entered the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry galloped past and ran straight into the Korean formation.
In an instant, the spear penetrated the human body, and the horse's hooves trampled the bones!
Blood spurts!
The Korean formation was plowed down by the Qing cavalry in just a blink of an eye.
The next moment, the Korean military formation collapsed under the impact of the Qing cavalry!
More and more people collapsed and chose to throw away their weapons, turn around and run away.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wails and screams resounded throughout the battlefield!
The Koreans have a good understanding of what it means to be defeated like a mountain.
A large number of defeated troops were carried away towards Incheon City.
Li Di looked at the scene of overwhelming defeat on the battlefield, his eyes full of pain.
How long did it take for the army that he had given great hope to be defeated in such a crushing manner!
It’s over!
North Korea is really going to end!
When the loyal chamberlain on the side saw the scene outside the city, the expression on his face kept changing. Fear was brewing, but he still mustered up the courage and spoke in Li Di's ear.
"Your Majesty, now our army has been defeated and the situation is irreversible!"
"Please order the evacuation of Incheon as soon as possible!"
When Li Di heard this, the expression on his face kept changing.
However, when he saw the human tragedy outside the city and the almost unilateral massacre of the Korean army by the Qing army outside the city, he was finally moved.
He opened his mouth and ordered.
"Give the order and get ready to board the ship and evacuate!"
As if he suddenly remembered something, Li Chen asked.
"Where is Master Liao now?"
Liao Zhou did not leave Incheon now, but boarded the ship first and let the fleet float outside the port of Incheon, waiting for Li Di to evacuate together.
Now that Li Di was preparing to evacuate, his first choice was to take Liao Zhou's official ship.
The attendant next to him heard the words and spoke.
"Your Majesty, Lord Liao's official ship is still anchored outside Incheon Port!"
"In addition, there is also a Chinese warship from Jeju Island responsible for escorting!"
"..."
The tonnage of the escort warship from Jeju Island was not large, not even a sailing battleship.
It's just a traditional Chinese warship with a Western-style sail added.
The boat shape is a typical plywood boat!
If placed on the Nanyang frontier, such a plywood boat would definitely not be enough to look at.
But if placed here in North Korea, such a plywood boat would still have quite a deterrent effect.
At the very least, it is enough to escort the official ship!
Li Chen nodded and said.
"Okay, let's arrange it this way!"
"Send the order and prepare to board the ship immediately!"
Li Di quickly gave the order, and his personal attendant fetched him an ordinary robe to change into.
Li Di left his guard of honor at the top of the city and quietly headed towards Incheon Port.
At the same time, the killing outside Incheon continues!
The defenders of Incheon were defeated when their own army came out of the city to fight the Qing army, and they were filled with fear.
A large number of defeated Korean soldiers were driven outside Incheon City. These people begged desperately to the defenders at the top of the city to enter Incheon City.
However, the defenders were frightened by the brutality of the Qing army and refused to open the city gate no matter what!
He watched helplessly as his own army was massacred by the Qing army outside the city!
Outside Incheon, desperate wailings and screams continued, crowds of people crowded, and corpses piled up.
Arrow after arrow was thrown into the crowd of Korean soldiers as if they were free of charge.
Knives chop and axes crackle, spears stab...
The number of casualties continues to rise!
Outside the entire city of Incheon, there were broken Korean troops driven away by the Qing cavalry everywhere.
Some people even started jumping into the Han River out of despair.
The Qing army's cavalry just stood on the bank and fired arrows at the densely packed heads in the Han River.
Before long, blood dyed the water of Han River red!
The water content of the Han River in the future will exceed the legal limit, and the water of the Han River today will have the blood content exceeding the legal limit.
In desperation, a large number of Korean soldiers chose to surrender to the Qing army.
The Qing army camped outside the city of Incheon. After some repairs, they launched an attack on Incheon.
The decisive battle broke out outside Incheon in the morning!
Before noon, the Korean army was defeated!
In the afternoon, the Qing army began to attack Incheon City!
Before it got dark at night, Incheon City had already fallen.
That night, countless rebels poured into Incheon City.
Incheon City was ignited with blazing fire, and the screams and wails continued all night without stopping...
Li Di stood on the deck of Liao Zhou's official ship, looking at the city of Incheon caught in a sea of fire, his eyes full of despair and pain.
Because he knew that after the battle in Incheon, North Korea was finished!
The most elite army in North Korea was smashed into Incheon and the whole army was wiped out!
What future is there for North Korea next?!
Liao Zhou came forward and spoke to comfort him.
"I believe that Your Majesty will not give up on North Korea!"
At this time, Liao Zhou made a pun!
It depends on how Li Di understands it!
First, the emperor would follow the example of Wanli and send troops to help Korea recover.
The second is that the emperor will not give up this good opportunity to annex North Korea...
Now, Li Di was completely panicked by the defeat in the direction of Incheon. Looking at the city of Incheon burning with blazing flames, he felt only a sharp pain in his heart.
He didn’t react at all to Liao Zhou’s pun!
Naturally, Liao Zhou would not explain what he meant specifically to Li Di!
