Ten pairs of armor, which were used as targets, were once again returned to Akito's hands.

Mei Fuxi, who had already walked in front of the person, with a serious expression on her face, reached out and grabbed a pair of armor and looked at it carefully.

Of course, the armor has not changed. It is still made of fine iron and cowhide, and the armor is still engraved with Zuo Wei's emblem on the inner lining. However, at this moment, there are a few more holes and cracked armor pieces on the armor surface.

traces of.

Mei Fuxi slowly stretched out her finger and gently pressed on the bullet hole to feel the burr edge.

Next he put up his armor. Sure enough, when he looked through the hole, he saw that the same armor had been punched through on the back.

Counted carefully.

On his front, there were a total of four bullet holes and a piece of armor that was about to shatter. These five wounds brought three holes to the back of the chest armor. In other words, the continuous gunshots just now hit five.

, penetrated three shots.

Closing his eyes and slowly raising his head, Mei Fuxi looked up to the sky and let out a deep breath. At this moment, some of his inherent perceptions over the years collapsed.

Since the Mongols invaded the Central Plains, cavalry has fought against infantry, and there has been a fixed pattern: peripheral harassment, impact testing, archery, and continued harassment...

This circular pattern leaves the infantry fighting in formation completely helpless.

Don't underestimate those Mongolians who are circling fifty meters away, riding ponies and shouting. At this time, the military formation can neither spread out to charge nor shoot arrows in the air, because when the arrow formation is organized

After firing it into the air, the cavalry on the opposite side had already run away.

In this case, the infantry is like a bull surrounded by jackals and will collapse sooner or later.

The Mongols relied on this light cavalry model to defeat the Song Empire who fought in array in the south, and defeated the slow European cavalry in the north, creating a great empire with an extremely vast territory.

But hundreds of years later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the situation still had not changed much.

The elite Eight Banners soldiers of the Later Qing Dynasty not only inherited the Mongolian cavalry model, but also innovated on this basis. The Bajala white armored soldiers wearing two or even three layers of heavy armor could break into the Ming army's array at critical moments.

Slash and kill, quickly destroying the opponent's formation.

The Ming army, like their predecessors from the Song Dynasty, still had no good way to deal with it: at a distance of fifty meters, three-eyed guns and bird guns were not enough of a threat to enemies wearing armor, and were not as practical as the opponent's heavy arrows.

In this case, unless there are Western cannons weighing several kilograms in the array, the enemy can be hit... This is also the fundamental reason why the Ming army quickly degenerated into a professional city defense army: in the field battle, the Ming army both

It has no mobility and no effective way to kill enemy cavalry in a large area from fifty meters away.

For a long time, for descendants of soldiers like Mei Fuxi who have read military books, received experience from surviving veterans, and know the true situation of the war, it has become a fixed thought that the Ming army was tactically unable to fight against the Tatar soldiers.

This is the painful realization gained through the destruction of hundreds of thousands of elite border soldiers over the past ten years.

But this understanding was shattered by the armor in front of me today.

The moment the team of green-coated soldiers fired their muskets, they were actually standing three hundred steps away. And now the holes of the guns that Mei Fuxi saw had actually penetrated the fine armor.

In other words, if the Tatar soldiers surrounded this group of green coat soldiers, then the armored man would be beaten to death three hundred steps away. It was useless to have more people on the horse. The green coat soldiers had just fired five rounds. It looked like

Especially spare power.

"With such a sharp weapon, who in the world can stop it? I can't blame you for having the courage to come north to King Qin with just a few troops!"

While the breastplates were being circulated among the crowd for inspection, such words continued to come out of people's mouths. The originally lively school grounds slowly fell into silence at this moment: Akira people couldn't help but start whispering to each other, and appeared above the stands.

There was a buzz.

There were the old guards who had been running away all year round, and they had a strong sense of crisis. At this time, they couldn't help but look around at the green-coated soldiers surrounding the school grounds. These Ming people who didn't care before, when they understood the power of fire cannons, now

The reaction came to mind: this circle of seemingly sparse and incompetent Southern soldiers could kill these thousands of heroes on the spot in a few breaths!

Many people felt a chill... on their necks.

.............................

After seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Wu Xiaoxiao, the host on the stage, spoke up again and happily announced the next program: solo target shooting.

This time no one was fooled again. Ming people now knew that this man who used a clever machine to make a loud voice seemed to be polite, but in fact he was just mocking them, the natives.

However, this so-called "show" still needs to be watched, even though it feels the pain of being despised. At this moment, all Akito stood up, stretched their necks, and watched ten pairs of brand new armors being placed on the table in front of them.

superior.

Immediately afterwards, a "man in colorful clothes" wearing a colorful beggar's uniform, who had been laughed at by everyone since he landed in Tianjin, stood up at the shooting position just now.

By this time, no one dared to laugh at the colorful dress anymore. All the people on the scene were holding their breath, looking forward to the show that was going to happen in the next moment.

The same distance, the same position, the special operations team member more than 300 meters away, at this moment, there is only a speck in Akito's eyes.

The next moment, a whip of fire came out of the strange blunderbuss in the man's hand.

The 7.62mm standard armored bullet fired from the mk17 assault rifle is simply not comparable to the 28-inch bullet fired from the lead bullet.

Just the first thirty rounds of bullets tore all the armor on the table, and the fine iron armor and cowhide were scattered all over the sky.

After changing the magazine very quickly, the special operations team member continued to aim the sight at the armor and fired the second round of bullets.

The fiery red warheads flew continuously in front of Akito's eyes, and the visual effect was like watching a blockbuster movie, which made everyone stunned.

The shooting time was still very short, still no more than half a minute.

When the loud gunfire stopped, the "wreck" of armor that had been ravaged by two rounds of NATO bullets was once again delivered to Akito's hands.

The ten pairs of tattered armor once again refreshed the heroes' perceptions. Now when they looked at the colorful soldiers standing around the general platform, the heroes even had a hint of fear in their eyes.

After the target practice and face-slapping session, which was called "enhancing the fun" but was actually a muscle-flexing session, the atmosphere on the school field became particularly weird during the rest of the lunch period.

Akito was not a fool, and they quickly figured out the "meaning of the gun": the Southern General Soldiers really did not need to use them as cannon fodder, they were just recruiting auxiliary troops.

As a result, some people who had not originally planned to die began to feel excited, especially those caravan guards.

In the past, these veterans of running business were not willing to apply. That was because the cost-effectiveness of being an auxiliary soldier was too low: no matter how much money you can earn, you have to spend your life, right?

However, after the scene at noon, it now seems that the cost-effectiveness of this job is very high. Not to mention making a lot of money, the risk is still very small. Unless you encounter the main force of the Tatars, otherwise, just those colorful soldiers,

I am afraid that they can easily kill all the Tatar cavalry with less than a thousand people.

Besides, the Haokuo surnamed Cao is already solid, so there will definitely be one person and two horses promised to everyone... If they really encounter a Tatar brigade, then the brothers can turn around and run away.

no?

So after whispering and analyzing the pros and cons, the situation turned around in just one lunch break. Many guards changed their minds: since they don't have to die in battle and there is still a lot of money to be made, why not go to the north for a trip?

You know, these people usually work for businessmen, traveling all over the country to visit horse thieves and bandits, and they only earn a few dozen taels of silver.

In the afternoon of that day, there was indeed a gratifying increase in the number of people who went to the rostrum for secondary registration. By dinner time, General Cao had recruited a total of 320 cavalrymen who met the requirements.

This number is already very close to the target. We only need to recruit a little more tomorrow and we are done.

That night, Mei Fuxi, who was very worried, came to her father's study and described what she saw and heard today.

In fact, the moment he saw the broken armor, Mei Fuxi's blood started to heat up. He was young and immature before, because he couldn't see hope... But those who can see hope, there is

Which...a Mingren doesn't want to kill Tatars?

After all, Mei Fuxi did not sign up. He was different from those guards who just left. He was the only son in the family. For such a big matter, he had to go back and discuss it with his father.

After asking in detail, Mei's father still did not agree: in battle, swords and guns have no eyesight, even if the southerners' weapons are sharp, what if something goes wrong? The Mei family does not lack that little money.

After having no hope of communicating with her father, Mei Fuxi went to the school grounds the next day to watch the excitement.

There are a lot fewer people in the school grounds today. All the unqualified brands yesterday were taken back, so except for some newcomers, most of the people who came today are the same as Mei Fuxi, who met the conditions but did not sign up.

After discovering that there were still a lot of hesitant elites like Mei Fuxi, the Chuanzhong people who had some ulterior and long-term plans for this recruitment finally had to come up with their trump card, the Whole Cow Feast.

Directly outside the side gate of the school grounds, in the muddy ground, a dozen purchased Mongolian cattle were tied two miles away.

Then several special forces members who simulated an encounter rode their horses to the side door. The team members immediately stopped their horses, dismounted, and unloaded the big killer on the horse: the M2 heavy machine gun.

...Needless to say how it ends.

In short, when Akira saw this lightweight "big gun" that could accompany the cavalry, they dismembered all the cattle two miles away, and they all started to make a noise. In the afternoon of that day, the recruitment progress was greatly improved.

The number of people soon reached 500.

Mei Fuxi was the last one to be recruited during the big pot beef feast that night.

The recruitment process is very simple. When General Cao, wearing a red official robe, came to toast his new recruits with a wine bowl, he and Mei Fuxi responded like this: "You have the ability, why don't you want to follow me?"

Are you going to kill the Tatars?"

"Sir, there is no shortage of money in Fuxi."

"Oh, what if I lead you to kill the Tatars with your own hands and repay you afterwards, so that you can find a wife and a son in the future?"
