When Zhang Ping'an checked the fired musket barrels, he saw that there were not only the residues in the ten-rod test musket barrels, but also the residue of the sealed air leakage cloth. After several purification processes, the * of the Pou Nu Army was far more advanced than the Ming Dynasty. The * used for the test was the Pou Nu Army standard. There were so many residues left, which meant that the sheets of the seal were incompletely burned and blocked the complete combustion of *. If the lead bullet was fired with the Ming Dynasty, it was likely that there would be more residue left.

If Wu Zhen Chaoha did not clean up the residue after three firings, these muskets were likely to explode the chamber. Thinking of this, Zhang Ping'an ordered the recording staff to number the test muskets. After three firings were fired, the muskets were not cleaned, the muskets were cleaned three firings, and the four muskets were fired one time. Sure enough, one musket that was not cleaned was blown up the chamber in the third round. According to the saying, during the process of making imitation muskets, Ponucheng Blacksmith House not only was tempered, but also quenched.

Moreover, the quenching process of the Po Nu Army was by no means quenched with hot water in the Ming Dynasty, but with animal warm oil and vegetable oil, which could definitely ensure that the iron bars of the musket do not bend. In particular, the mixed quenching oil used in the Blacksmith House was the exclusive secret recipe found by Zhang Dashuai's laboratory after hundreds of experiments. Even the master craftsman Wang Ermu did not know the composition of the oil. In order to keep this secret, Zhang Ping'an divided the mixed oil workshop into three places and incorporated different oils into it. Moreover, the person in charge of each place was Zhang Ping'an's most trusted students, and their food, housing and transportation were accompanied by Zuo Erya inspectors.

The fire of the musket shows that the Jurchen musket gun soldier Wu Zhenchao, even during normal training, did not dare to charge too much medicine. However, the experiment was carried out again and again, and the distance of moving the wooden house moved from a hundred to fifty feet. At this distance, the Jurchen muskets truly caused damage to the armor of the Blade Slave Army and the dummy. At a distance of fifty feet, the Jurchen muskets could hit the armor of the Blade Slave Army, but could not penetrate. After this shooting, Zhang Ping'an went to check the damage caused by the Jurchen muskets to the armor of the Blade Slave Army.

Zhang Ping'an then asked his personal guard to untie the armor and check the damage to the pork. After seeing it, Zhang Ping'an felt a certain confidence. At this distance, as long as the lead bullet did not hit the head of the soldiers of the Pound Slave Army, the pork without breaking the flesh shows that the defense ability of the Pound Slave Army's standard armor is powerful. The most threatening shooting distance of the Jurchen musket is between 35 and 40 feet. The Jurchen musket can penetrate the Pound Slave Army armor, and forty feet can penetrate the pork skin and be embedded in the flesh. At 35 feet, the lead bullet reaches a depth of one inch thick wooden board of the wood dummy. However, the musket used by Jurchen Wu Zhen Chaoha also lost 70% of the blast in the experiment.

Seeing that Zhang Ping'an had much less worries about the enemy's musket soldiers in his heart. However, he still ordered the new musket experiment to continue. He ordered his personal guards to tie a standard shield of the slave army in front of the dummy to observe the damage of the musket shooting to the dummy behind the shield. He found that even at a dangerous distance of 35 zhang, the dummy behind the shield could resist the damage of lead bullets. Zhang Dashang, who had a conclusion in his mind, issued a command: to issue a document to the results of this test so that all officers above the thousand-level general of the slave army would know the results of today's test.

After testing the Jurchen muskets, Zhang Ping'an began to test the muskets used by the Ross people. When he found that the shooting distance of the muskets used by the Ross people reached nearly 60 meters, his previous happy expression immediately became a little heavy. The two types of muskets used by the Ross people, among which the shooting distance of the heavy muskets was only ten meters shorter than the Posou Army standard muskets. (Author's note: Ten meters of the Ming Dynasty are about twenty meters above the current one.) Zhang Ping'an dared not imagine what the advantage can produce on the battlefield.

Fortunately, there are still a few years of preparations for Lin Danhan, and he still has time to think about solutions. However, planning ahead is Zhang Ping'an's historical style. He decided to talk to Zuo Erya after the experiment was over. Therefore, when all the observers commanders left, Zhang Ping'an specially left Zuo Erya. He and Zuo Erya were inspecting the test site while communicating.

"Erya, I will give you a top-secret job this time. You choose 300 veterans to specifically think about the use of Ross muskets, and strive to maximize this musket tactic. Among the soldiers you lead, 30% of retired veterans are injured. These people are veterans with rich practical experience, and many of them have been backbone of various war barracks. If you use these veterans well, it will definitely be beneficial for you to lead troops in the future!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ping'an stood in the West, looked at the stunning sunset on the distant mountain, and said thoughtfully: "Erya, I know that I didn't let you lead your troops to the front line to make contributions. You are a little unhappy! In fact, I am still very confident in your leadership. After you understand the Rossman musket tactics this time, I promise you that next time you fight against Lin Danhan, you will definitely let you lead troops to the front line. Your combat barracks will select soldiers from the current inspection team. However, your practice of the war must be kept confidential. No one except me can mention this matter. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, I will write you a warrant. If someone asks about this matter, you can catch people with a warrant. If someone has a higher position than you, write a letter to tell me immediately and I will shut up people with curious people!"

Zhang Ping'an is worthy of being a master of scheming people's hearts. He has long known Zuo Erya's dissatisfaction with his current position. Given the prestige of Zhang Dashui in the Desubs Army and Zuo Erya, who is a student of Zhang Dashui, he dare not express his inner desire to lead troops to Zhang Ping'an. This time, Zhang Ping'an's promise to Zuo Erya made his student's eyes shine and exposed Zuo Erya's watch. Then, while Zhang Ping'an wrote a warrant to Zuo Erya, he also sent Qu Guozheng, the head of the Intelligence Department, to explain the confidentiality of Zuo Erya's errands in person.

.........

When the Pou Nu Army received the order from the General Staff of the Korqin vanguard troops, Zhang Li, Liu Chong and Tian Peng immediately held a final military discussion. Fortunately, the Pou Nu Army reinforcements were about to arrive, and they had no worries. Through torture of the prisoners, they learned that the Mongolian Korqin Wulute tribe gathered troops in the Kundu River area, and they roughly understood the garrisoning position of the Korqin Wulute tribe. The Korqin Wulute tribe is stationed in the Kundu River (now in Naumen Huagacha), with the east side facing the Laoha River. There is no city, only a camp composed of yurts.

Four hundred miles northwest of it, Haolida area is the garrison of his brother Manggusi. His younger brother Hongguoer is stationed in Lama Ail south of Manggusi. The Ming'an headquarters has 50,000 soldiers, and Manggusi and Hongguoer each have more than 30,000 soldiers. Korqin said it was a gathering of troops, but scattered more than 100,000 troops on the grassland thousands of miles away, which made Zhang Li and the others encounter difficulties in trying to annihilate the main cavalry of Korqin. Seeing that this battle might become a defeat, the three people who wanted to eat meat became a little impetuous.

They are all old commanders of Lao Yu's war. They know that in such a vast area, with their three men and 50,000 soldiers and horses, they wiped out more than 100,000 enemy cavalry, which is basically a dream. The best tactic is to surround the point and attack the point and attack the point and attack the point and encircle the key enemy. It is obviously unrealistic to surround the Ming'an headquarters. The Ming'an headquarters is on the east side of his brother. As long as the Pou Nu Army appears in the west of Urjimulun, it can be discovered by the nomadic Korqin herders. Even if the Pou Nu Army's war horses are faster than the Mongolian war horses, some fish that have escaped the net will run to the east to report the news.

Therefore, Zhang Li and the others set the target of siege on one of Mangusi and Hongguoer. Liu Chong believed that Hongguoer was a good target. Although he didn't know what was good, he determined that Hongguoer was the target based on his years of fighting. Tian Peng disagreed with Liu Chong's view of fighting based on his feelings. He sang an opposite to Liu Chong. His intuition was the real target. In front of two colleagues who fought based on their feelings, Zhang Li, as the leader of one side, was amused and crying at this moment.

Fortunately, Zhang Li was a brave man, and he immediately thought of Zhang Wuji, another student on the front line of Marshal Zhang. Although Zhang Wuji was not the one who led the army, he interrogated the prisoners and knew who was the most important in Ming'an's mind. He called Zhang Wuji, and Zhang Li directly pointed out the reason for letting him come: "I said Zhang Wuji, you are my family. I asked you to come today to ask whether you can infer from the information on interrogating the prisoners that our army attacked Hongguoer or Mangusi. Who should Ming'an lead the troops to rescue? These two gangsters rely on their feelings to fight!"

Zhang Li has a high qualification and high position. Liu Chong and Tian Peng are both juniors in front of him. Although Tian Peng is Zhang Dashuai’s favorite student, he dare not speak casually in front of Zhang Li. It took a while before Zhang Wuji understood the fighting intentions of the three. Zhang Wuji was not in a hurry to speak. He thought for a while and replied: "Don’t look for me in the war. I am not as good as you in such a big thing. If you want to say, one of the two brothers Ming'an is besieged, who will he save? I think it should be his younger brother Hong Guoer!"

Since Zhang Wuji said that Hong Guoer was the key point, Zhang Li asked directly about the result: "Give me a reason!"

"Zhang Dutong, Liu Dutong, and Tian, ​​the prisoner under his post interrogation learned that although these three people were brothers, Manggusi and Ming'an had many conflicts over the distribution of grasslands in the early years. Whenever Ming'an and Manggusi had conflicts, Hong Guoer would stand on the side of Ming'an and oppose Manggusi. If they were to siege Manggusi, Ming'an and Hong Guoer might have other ideas. If they were to siege Hong Guoer, hehehe! At least Ming'an would rescue him!"

Zhang Wuji's intelligence was recognized by three leaders. As for the specific tactics, it was nothing more than the scouts of Zhang Li's army blocking the battlefield, and then his main force penetrated into the north of Hongguoer's camp to cut off the connection between Hongguoer's army and the Mangusi army. Liu Chong's army directly penetrated behind Hongguoer's army, cutting off the connection between the eastern part and the Ming'an army. Tian Peng's mountain troops penetrated into the southwest of Hongguoer's army, forming a situation of three circumferences and one annihilation. (To be continued)
