Chapter 1756 The Celestial
In fact, when the group fights, Marin’s requirement for non-commissioned officers is to learn to "get cheap". In addition, try to concentrate two or three people against each other to form an advantage in the number of people in the region.
No matter how strong his personal fighting ability is, he cannot withstand group fights. In addition to having solid personal basic skills, the tactics required by Marlin are to learn to "steal chickens".
For example, if the bayonet hand that has just been filled up, in addition to blocking the bayonet or pushing away the enemy's stabbing, you should also pay attention to the enemy who is fighting with your comrades. If no one comes to attack you at this time, it is best to sneak attack those unprepared enemies and knock down one down first. In short, there will definitely be an advantage if there are more people and fewer people.
The opponent can withstand your attack by one person, but it is difficult to hold two or even three people at the same time. In particular, a very sinister and dangerous weapon like bayonet. When Qi Jiguang was dealing with Japanese pirates, he found that using the "Three Talent Formation" or "Two Yi Formation" was very effective against a single Japanese pirate. Don't be fooled by this name. In fact, one of them drags the opponent, and then the other stabs out of the oblique thorn with a spear and attacks the opponent. The Japanese pirate's Japanese pirates were held by wolves and rattan cards, and it was difficult to resist the spear that suddenly stabbed out.
Similarly, if a bayonet hand on the opposite side blocks and parries you, and the other two stabs from different directions, it will be extremely difficult to resist. At this time, the only thing that can save you is the armor on your body...
But to be honest, Marin felt that these tactics of stinging may not be used. Because, on the battlefield, these young guards will definitely be protected by spearmen!
...
Practicing thorns and other things is actually just a plan ahead to avoid the young guards not having the ability to fight when they are alone. But under normal circumstances, the young guards actually stand in the middle of a hollow square formation and enjoy national treasure-level protection treatment.
According to Marin's arrangement, during the battle, the young Guards' sharpshooters, at least three rows of spearmen in front, and Yu Dayou's chariots in front were placed in a row, to guard against the enemy's forcibly attack.
As for how the Young Guards' sharpshooter attacks the enemy? Learn about it on the bench...
According to Marin's requirements, each of these young guard sharpshooters will be equipped with a bench. When fighting, as long as they stand on the bench, they can aim at the enemy and shoot at the heads of the first three rows of spearmen. In order not to prevent the sharpshooters from aiming at the enemy, the spears of the first three rows of spearmen must be placed flat in front, so as not to lie over the air and accidentally block the bullets.
Needless to say, the spears in the front row were just held up and aimed at the front. The spears in the back two rows were placed directly on the shoulders of the front row soldiers, forming a dense spearhead of three rows of spears, which seemed to be more difficult than a hedgehog...
At this time, after the young Guards loaded their ammunition, they could stand on a stool and aim at the enemy's elite from a high place for precise shooting.
If there is no shooting mission, they can even sit on a stool and rest...
Therefore, in the following training, the generals of Beihai Kingdom were surprised to see that these young guards not only trained to fight bayonets, but also carried a bench and ran everywhere without any problems... This reminded Malin of the situation when the village was playing movies when he was a child, the villagers also carried a stool to run to the threshing ground where the movies were shown...
Because of this characteristic, the young guards were later nicknamed the "bench legion". Because everyone ran around with a bench. When fighting, they also stood on the bench and shot.
The funniest thing is that these benches are not only tools, but also weapons. Because, during the melee, they smash the bench and sometimes they are more lethal than swords. Later, in a battle, when the young guards faced the enemy's spear formation directly, they first used the bench to smash the opponent's neat formation, and then took the opportunity to charge on the bayonet, and actually won...
Of course, these benches are usually placed on the trolley, and they are not carried by themselves. But before the battle, everyone will receive their own bench to help fight.
...
It is a bit extravagant when shooting because they all use hand-crafted steel core single-headed bullets for shooting training. These bullets are all led bullets made by several craftsmen with good skills under the arrangement of Marin. They are very careful in every step. Especially the wind grille on the top of the bullet cannot be destroyed. Otherwise, after shooting, they will not be able to rotate. The single-headed bullets that cannot rotate are not very different from ordinary spherical lead bullets. There is no need to mention the range or something.
Therefore, in order to prevent the wind grille on the top of the soft steel core single-headed bullet from being damaged, each steel core single-headed bullet will be placed in a padded wooden box after it is built to avoid damage.
Before each shot, the shooters would open the tightly packed box and carefully take out the steel core single-headed bullet. When loading, they did not dare to exert too much force, for fear of stabbing the wind grating structure on the bullet...
And this precise bullet shooting effect is naturally very gratifying. At a distance of 200 meters, as long as nothing unexpected happens, they can hit human-shaped targets. And this heavy lead bullet will only kill you if it hits the target, but as long as it is hit, it will be ruined. After all, the bullet is so big...
...
Just as Marin was busy training the young guards, suddenly the spies from the Beihai Kingdom in Italy sent back a very terrible news - smallpox broke out in Italy!
The sky broke out in Venice, and its source came from the Greek region occupied by Türkiye...
After May, in this warm season, not only everything grew, but even the virus became active. For some reason, smallpox suddenly broke out in the Thracian region in northeast Greece.
Originally, this had nothing to do with Italy. But it was so dying that the Venetian merchant ships were scattered throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. When a merchant ship passed by the port of Cavala in the Thrace region, the sailors on the ship came ashore and brought back smallpox virus.
But the people on the ship did not find it because the sailor's smallpox was lurking and did not erupt immediately. After the ship returned to the Dalmatian region of Venice (the Dalmatian region of Croatia belonged to the Republic of Venice), smallpox began to erupt and spread quickly in the Dalmatian region.
Fortunately, Tolani, the Governor of Dalmatian in Venice, had heard of Marin's theory of isolation and epidemic prevention, and immediately ordered the isolation of all areas in Dalmatian where people who had come into contact with smallpox patients were located. Moreover, quicklime was spread everywhere in the epidemic area to disinfect it.
Originally, this matter ended. The epidemic area of smallpox would be controlled in Dalmatia. However, Tolani didn't know what he thought, probably because he was extremely hating about Spain's robbery of Venice's spice trade. He actually sent a few people who could afford smallpox to send a group of smallpox patients to land quietly in the Naples area. Moreover, he landed in a small fishing village only dozens of kilometers away from Mount Vesuvius...
Obviously, Tolani wanted to spread smallpox in the Naples War Zone and use smallpox to destroy the Spanish army.
Tolani knew exactly how the French army was destroyed in the first Italian war. The French army was not defeated, but was defeated by syphilis. This time, he planned to use smallpox to infect the Spanish army stationed in Mount Vesuvius. Then, he severely attacked Spain's enemy who snatched the Venetian spice business...
