The wooden man reached about thirty steps in front of him, and as soon as the whistle sounded in Peng Yuan's mouth, there was immediately a loud gunshot.

Seeing the smoke rising from the first row of the musket array in the open space in front of them, and the dense gunfire rang out, many officials changed their faces and were a little panicked. Even if they have seen the guns fired, the real battlefield is slightly exposed in front of them, and it still scares many officials enough.

Seeing that Zai Zhi and Hanlin around him also had a change of color, but they didn't show it, Shi Quanbin said to Zhao Zhen: "Official, the real battlefield is much more terrifying than now. In addition to guns, there are also cannons. The cannon fire is non-stop, earth-shattering, and flesh and blood are flying, but it is not comparable to what it is now. ”

Although Zhao Zhen was shocked in his heart, his face remained unchanged. To be an emperor, this most basic calming kung fu is still there. After listening to Shi Quanbin's words, he just nodded. It's already like this when you put the gun, and the real battlefield where the artillery is full of fire is still not good.

The wooden man hit by the musket, the soldiers behind felt it, and immediately stopped, and the rest of the people bypassed to show casualties.

Seeing that the first row fired, he immediately retreated to the third row, and the second row stepped forward and continued to shoot, the row that had just let go of the gun was loaded with charges, Di Qing said: "This takes turns to shoot, there is the meaning of dividing people to open crossbows and send crossbows." ”

Shi Quanbin said: "Taiwei's long-term veteran can be seen at a glance. Indeed, the musketeers took turns firing their guns, which was indeed similar to dividing people into crossbows and crossbows, but it was much more difficult. To be calm and skilled in front of the battle, you must go through a long period of hard training. ”

Di Qing nodded: "That's right." If you want to be so calm and unchaotic before the battle, you have to practice hard. ”

After listening to the conversation between the two, all the Zaizhi and Hanlin nodded one after another, and saw a little way. However, they didn't expect that in Di Qing's eyes, the difficulty was much greater than that of them. Even if it is the current elite of the forbidden army, it is difficult to achieve this effect without months of hard training.

From 30 steps to more than 10 steps, the original first platoon of He Chengzhou's department has lost most of it, with nearly 50 casualties.

Zhao Zhen and Baiguan saw it in their eyes, and then looked at the cold bayonet in front of the musket, and they were shocked. Before the two armies could meet, more than 20 percent of the enemy had gone out of ten miles, and the power of the muskets was really terrifying.

Seeing that the enemy formation was approaching more than ten paces, Peng Yuan's whistle sounded and the drums sounded. The three rows of musketeers took turns firing their guns and slowly retreated to the beat of the drums. Seeing that the musketeers retreated backwards, the rhythm of the guns remained unchanged, and the military formation was neat, Di Qing couldn't help but change his face, and said to Shi Quanbin: "Dare to ask the rear, among the 30,000 troops on Hequ Road, how many musketeers can fight like this?" ”

Shi Quanbin said: "Of course everyone is like this. Tai Lieutenant, this is the basic kung fu of military training, otherwise it is not enough to join the army. These 30,000 soldiers were selected from nearly 200,000 battalions of Tianxiang troops, and they have been practicing for several years. ”

Zeng Gongliang on the side said: "Stay, compared to just now, it's just a retreat, what's the difference?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was also looking at him, Shi Quanbin cheered up and said, "Neihan, look, while they are retreating, they keep firing guns, but the military formation is not chaotic at all. What does this mean? The spirit of the soldier is all in charging, reloading, and firing guns, and it is all instinct to step back. More than 60 people retreated together, and they were able to do this, which shows that they are in the same step. With the beat of the drums, lift your feet together, land your feet together, and each step is almost the same. When the soldiers and horses on the meandering road were drilled, even if it was the simplest walking, I had seen it in Suizhou before, there was a line on the ground, and it was not allowed to look at the ground, and the soldiers were going forward and backward, and they had to be consistent with the line on the ground within a hundred steps. If you can't do it, you must practice harder, or you will be punished. It's just walking, but it's a big question in the military! ”

Seeing Zhao Zhen nodding together with Zhong Zai Zhi and Han Lin, Shi Quanbin couldn't help but feel a little proud. In a few months, I learned these insights, and I didn't do it in vain. Now whatever the Hequlu army is, in the eyes of others, it is all learning. Even the name, everyone no longer says that it is the camp field army, but replaces it with soldiers and horses on the river meandering road. Such an army is a box army, so what are the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops?

The front army formation fought and retreated, slowly approaching the two army formations in the rear. When He Chengzhou's troops were forty or fifty steps away from the two military formations, a whistle sounded, and the front rows of the two military formations raised their guns together. At thirty paces, the two military formations next to it attacked the flanks.

Seeing that there were a large number of wooden people who suddenly stopped, Liang Shi shook his head again and again: "What else is this fighting?" Before the two armies meet, all the people will die! ”

Di Qing said: "Great Staff, you can't retreat if you want to retreat above the military formation. At this time, the front-line army retreated, and it was easy to disrupt the Chinese army and cause the whole army to be defeated. There must be cavalry on both flanks of the musketeers, and if they pursue the routed soldiers, they will be unlucky, and they will be all over. When the battle is fought to this extent, knowing that it will be sent to death, this army will also die, and the rest of the men and horses can retreat. In addition, as seen in the Chongzheng Hall earlier, there was still a mile to the front of the musketeers, and the military formations that the party came to attack were one after another, constantly bombarded by artillery. When the party leader understands that he is sent to death, his Chinese army will probably not be able to retreat. ”

Shi Quanbin said: "What the Taiwei said is right. Most of the Chinese army, which was falsely loyal to Baobao, was sent over in vain. But there is one point, the ministers may think differently. Musketeers do not fight against each other, and the bayonets they carry are accident-proof. Swords and guns need to be close to kill enemies, but musketeers are different. The army has tried, platoon guns are placed together, and the best distance is about ten paces. The formation of the musketeers is to maintain the distance of ten paces. Jing Luo once said that if the opponent is also a musket, it will be difficult to kill the enemy if he advances and retreats, and then the two soldiers will meet. The musketeers were on board, and the two sides were about ten paces away and each fired their own shots. Fight together, then it will be a matter of life and death. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "I see." The pace just now is the same, all kinds of things, all for this ten steps away from the enemy? ”

Shi Quanbin said: "The official family is wise. Exactly. If the other party has a knife and a gun, there is no accident, always ten paces away from the musketeer! ”

Pang Ji sighed: "In this way, fighting musketeers with knives and guns is no different from sending them to death." ”

Shi Quanbin said: "What Xianggong said is true. A musket can kill people ten paces away, so what is the use of a knife and a gun? ”

"Muskets with artillery, these firearms used to be used in this way." Pang Ji couldn't help nodding. "Then even if there are 30,000 soldiers and make up their minds, wouldn't Du Zhongxiao be able to attack all the way to Xingfu Mansion? It is not difficult to destroy the party at all. ”

Shi Quanbin said: "Xianggong, with the battle of Hue, it will not be so easy. Knowing that it will be so, which general will come and send him to his death? They will hold fast to the walled city, with deep walls, and will not fight our army. Knowing that the artillery is powerful, they will also find a way, it will not be so easy again. ”

Hearing this, someone will smile. Isn't that how the Song army did it to the Khitan? Do you know that if you can't fight in the field, you won't be able to open Pitang and build a city? Although the heavy artillery is powerful, as long as you are willing to use manpower and material resources to build the city stronger. Turning a field battle into a storm, where else do muskets have a hand?

Shi Quanbin said again: "There is another difficulty. Although the artillery and muskets were powerful, the First World War consumed too many supplies. Shells, bullets, and a lot of gunpowder are all very expensive, not counting food and grass. Attacking all the way, artillery and vehicles are easily damaged and not easy to repair. After a brief battle of Hue Du, the whole army has done its best, and if it continues to fight, it will not be able to support it. ”

At this moment, the original front army retreated between the other two army formations, all the way back, and the character was to become an inverted character. At this time, the fool can also see that if he continues to attack, the whole army will be sent to death. He Chengzhou's wooden men began to retreat.

The three military formations of the Song army stepped forward together and began to pursue the whole army. One of the enemy's formations attacked the front, and the other two attacked the two flanks.

Shi Quanbin saw it and said to Zhao Zhen: "Official, in fact, at this time that day, the party's military array was already in chaos. The pursuing musketeers, much faster than they are now. However, our soldiers, let them play a chaotic formation, and they really can't act for a while. ”

Zhao Zhen laughed when he heard it: "After several years of hard training, I only know that the army is neat!" Good, good! ”

Jae Zhi and Hanlin laughed together. Knowing that Shi Quanbin meant to boast, he had the qualifications to boast.

By this time, Zhao Zhen and Baiguan had already understood what was going on in that day's battle. There was no imaginary battle between the two armies, and the fierce fighting, except for some accidents under special circumstances, that is, the Song army shot down the party soldiers one by one with muskets. The party soldiers were dead, and there was no chance to fight with Song Sabre and gun. Cold weapons against an army armed with muskets and artillery are a one-sided massacre.

At this point, no one doubted the power of the musket. It is the consensus of the imperial court that the forbidden army comprehensively learns the reform of the river meandering road.

Stopping the last wooden man, Peng Yuan ordered his soldiers to stop the drum and fork his hands in front of Han Qi: "Captain, our army has won a complete victory!" Not a single soldier was lost, and all the enemy was annihilated! ”

Han Qi nodded with a straight face, took out the whistle in his mouth, suddenly realized that this was a drill, couldn't help laughing, and said to Peng Yuan: "Okay, very well done!" The whole army is arrayed, waiting for the military order! ”

Peng Yuan said no, and went back with his musketeers to retreat, retreating to the position he had started with.

Han Qi said to He Chengzhou, who came over: "You put the wooden people together, and go back to line up and wait for the military order!" ”

He Chengzhou promised, went back and led people to carry the wooden people together, and lined up in an army formation on the other side.

Han Qi let out a sigh. Just now, I really felt like I was standing on the battlefield, and I forgot for a moment that I was in the middle of the Great Interior. Slightly straightened the sleeves of his robe, and Han Qi saluted Zhao Zhen from afar.

Zhao Zhen motioned to calm down and said to Shi Quanbin: "The martial arts exercise has been completed, why can't the privy council come?" ”

Shi Quanbin praised the wat of the wat : "The official family, on the battlefield, the military discipline is strict, how can the captain dare to leave without permission from the official?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, suddenly realized, and said to the little yellow door on the side: "Quickly go and proclaim the message, and the privy will speak closely!" ”

Xiao Huangmen walked out quickly and ran in front of Han Qi. After announcing the message, Han Qi followed the little yellow door to the verandah.

In front of Zhao Zhen, Han Qi saluted: "Your Majesty, Weichen was ordered to perform martial arts in Houyuan." The exercise was completed, and the musketeers did not lose a single soldier or soldier, and all the opponents were destroyed. Although it can't fully show the style of Hue Crossing the First World War that day, it can also be seen probly. The wooden figure over there has been set up, and there is a gun hole on it, and His Majesty can send someone to inspect it. If there is any falsehood, the sin of the micro-minister can be cured! ”

Zhao Zhen nodded again and again: "Okay, good, the privy is hard." Today's martial arts performance in the palace is just for me and the hundred officials to take a look, and the majesty of destroying 60,000 enemies in the first battle of Shundai that day. See, this Cheng has won an unprecedented victory! The privy councillor can order the warriors to march out of the palace in formation, and each return to the barracks to wait for the reward. Today, there is a banquet in the palace, let these wooden people be placed here, and the hundred officials will take a look at it, and congratulate the soldiers on the river meandering road! ”

The hundred officials congratulated Han Qi together. Han Qi sighed secretly in his heart, it should have been Du Zhongxiao who was here today, but unfortunately his military exploits in the past few months were too great, and the combat power shown by the soldiers and horses he led was too strong, so he had to be replaced by himself. He could not attain this honor without resolving the issue of the imperial court's trust in him and the army of Hequlu.

Han Qi ordered the more than 500 soldiers of the drill to leave the palace and return to his military camp, and Zhao Zhen set up a banquet in the open space where the drill had just been conducted and invited hundreds of officials.

Those musketeers were really scary, they didn't leave, and the hundred officials really didn't have the courage to go out of the verandah. waited until they lined up and left the palace, and then came out with Zhao Zhen and watched closely. There were gun holes left on the wooden man, and none of them were spared, and everyone sighed. During the one-day feast, he left many poems and articles praising Hue to fight the war. Du Zhongxiao's prestige has spread all over the world.
