"Listed before!"

"Put!"

Bang! Bang bang!

"Change the column, raise the gun!"

"Put!"

Bang! Bang bang!

As we entered May, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the garrison of in the new river bridge slowly relaxed with the garrison that had not seen the enemy for more than a month, and no longer looked tired of waiting for the battle.

On the river, the sergeants of the barbarian battalion are catching fish in the stream, and there are Guangdong battalion soldiers on the bank to take refuge in the shade of the trees. Of course, their biggest entertainment in recent days is the big sun on the head of the stupid birds of the shore guard station, and they have been proficient in the banner military orders since they first joined the army.

Chen Junye is an authoritarian person, he turned a deaf ear to these ridicules, and also asked his soldiers to turn a deaf ear to this, fifty in Beishan after the replenishment of the full formation of the general flag and more than sixty recruited township warriors A total of 100 people practiced the queue flag order all day long, and the soldiers were miserable.

But the good thing is that they are used to it.

If it weren't for the fact that the officers of the guard station were born with great prestige and courage to the military households, and watched Chen Mu and others break through the rebellious army in Xinjiang Town, it would be difficult for Chen Mu to train the flag army strictly for a long time under such circumstances. It is not a problem to carry out orders, but it is a big problem to watch the lively battalions from the side.

It's like the freshman year when they tan into black briquettes under the sun, and the seniors hold a big watermelon in the shade of the tree next to them and eat it with a red mouth, just point at you, the watermelon is especially cold!

In order to make them accept the drill willingly, Chen Mu almost wore out his mouth, like what 'sweating more in peacetime and less blood in wartime' said more than a hundred times, but it is a fool's dream to expect the flag army to understand this sentence.

It's okay to scare and scare the new pawns, these reckless men who don't understand military orders follow Chen Mu to hone their skills under special passwords and drills, and kill a head that can be hung on the waist, and if you don't learn this thing, there will be less blood in wartime!

But Chen Mu saw the benefits, so he was driven by huge executive power, and the flag army could only endure ridicule patiently.

Because the concise and unified military order really works.

The flag army obeyed the order, and Qi Zhengyan took Chen Mu's bird gun and stuffed it into the bird gun team, and formed a group of three people to form a group of four bird gun teams, and carried out the three-stage attack of the Ming Dynasty arquebus tactics, and carried out continuous suppressive shooting in the form of substitution and gun change. At the same time, a larger number of crossbowmen obeyed the same orders and fired intermittent volleys with their longbows. It's just that this time Chen Mu changed the regular formation arrangement.

Spears and knives crouch in front of the formation, and use wooden shields and spears to resist the approaching enemy, and the longbowmen stand in the center in three rows, and two groups of bird-gunners on each side form a cross-fire net.

This is not a conventional battle formation, but a special formation with the Shinjiang Bridge as the predetermined battlefield, ensuring that the longbowmen can suppress the enemy's charge, and using bird guns to form a lethal firing circle that does not miss the bullet.

As for the other formations, they are not temporary and can be quickly formed, and Chen Mu has no other extravagant hopes - survive this battle first!

In early May, Bai Yuanjie showed joy on his face, smiled and found Chen Mu's training on the riverside, watched from afar, and then stepped forward and said with a smile: "But in January, there is already the shape of an elite soldier." There is a happy event in Qingyuan, come with me. ”

Have a happy event in Qingyuan?

Chen Mu frowned and pondered, walked away a few steps to a remote place and asked Bai Yuanjie, "Shao Mangzihun's family wants to give birth to a cub for him again?" ”

"Hey, the military family is suffering and poor, what kind of joy is it to give birth to cubs...... Well, it's not like you're doing well with your military household. Earlier, you entrusted Bai with something, Tan Zili went north, just the day before yesterday. Bai Yuanjie rarely sold a pass, and said, "The telescope." ”

Chen Mu widened his eyes and patted his head, he was worried about Li Yayuan's attack when he was stationed in Xinjiang Town in Shaozhou Mansion, and he had already forgotten all about sending the telescope, and at this time, he was excited to hear Bai Yuanjie talk about it, and hurriedly asked: "The telescope, the master can make it, and the thousand households can send it out?" ”

"Don't worry, if you don't send it out, is it still a happy event? He went north to Shaozhou Mansion and the road was not passable, just passing through Qingyuanwei, and when he rested, Bai Qi sent the mirror in and mentioned Bai's name. Bai Yuanjie paused again, and then laughed and said, "Of course, I didn't forget to say that the telescope was made by you, specifically for him to go north to guard Ji Town!" If you are in Qingyuan, Tan Zili still wants to make a special trip to meet you. ”

"It's not easy for you to meet the governor of Liangguang, this can't be bribed for a thousand taels of silver, it's a great blessing, your telescope is very much in line with his heart." Bai Yuanjie smiled, and then asked a little unusually: "Tan Zili went north to Jizhen, you said that you sent binoculars to help him guard against Hulu, this is beneficial to the country and the people, Bai knows, where is the self-interest you are talking about?" ”

Where is the self-interest?

Chen Mu didn't know, he couldn't tell Bai Yuanjie that Qi Jiguang, Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng were in the same line, and Zhang Juzheng would be the first assistant of the Imperial Cabinet in a few years, right?

He could only smile and say, "Isn't it a great thing to know a civil official in a high position!" ”

Bai Yuanjie looked at Chen Mu, didn't delve into the answer to the similar prevarication, and said with a smile: "In March or May, you can write a letter to Tan Zili, if the telescope works, he should remember you." ”

Chen Mu smiled casually, writing a letter every six months and a year, Tan Lun really may not remember him, the nobody who presented the telescope. His hope is nothing more than that if one day in the future he can hope to be back, Tan Lun, who is in a high position, can remember that he once helped him.

Chen Zongqi will not always be Chen Zongqi, he will not always be a nobody, and kindness is only kindness when his status is equal to or slightly inferior to it, otherwise it is tribute, and tribute - just a matter of course.

Yu Dayou received Deng Zilong's letter of help, but did not transfer artillery from the main force of the army, but dismantled three cannons from the Guangdong Navy warship and transported them to Xinjiang Town, Shaozhou Prefecture, for a long time.

Two Franc cannons of the same shape, and a copper hair cannon were pushed onto the bridgehead of Xinjiang Town, with the original two Franc machines, which looked extremely majestic.

The fire cannon is larger than their small Franc cannon, and the gunpowder required is also more, counting the four wheels of the low gun carriage to weigh nearly a thousand catties, firing four catties of projectiles, it is a front-loading smoothbore gun, it is the Ming Dynasty imitation of the British version of the falcon cannon, the hair is the transliteration of the falcon, the western system is a five-pounder gun, and the firing range can reach four to five miles.

However, this kind of range is not needed at all on the battlefield of Xinjiang Town, and even in the entire Lingnan surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, there are not too many preset battlefields that can fully meet the firing range of the cannon.

The wait was boring and tormenting, until late May, when a sergeant of the barbarian battalion in the east of the new river sailed straight and shouted: "The enemy is attacking!" ”

Li Yayuan, here!

The Japanese Warring States Oda three-stage attack method is to change guns without changing people, and use the most accurate gunner as the shooter; The Ming army's three-stage attack was changed by both men and guns.

As early as in the fourteenth year of Hongwu (1381), it was used by Mu Ying, a general in the early Ming Dynasty, when attacking Yunnan elephants, he used fire guns to continuously shoot at the target soldiers to cause panic, so that the enemy elephants rushed back to the main formation.

The Mu family town of Yunnan is the Mu Wangfu in Jin Yong's novel.
