Su Chengyu himself stood in the position of the wounded soldier just now, raised the fire gun diagonally, let the bayonet point at a forty-five degree angle to the sky, and shouted: "Squat down in one or two rows." All learn my movements, and the bayonet is obliquely upward. No one will be allowed to move a single step without my orders! ”

Then he ordered the Zhu family brother, "Reorganize the team and charge." ”

The cavalry gathered again a hundred paces away, and began to charge from slow to fast shouting.

The soldiers of the 1st Independent Company saw the cavalry roaring like rolling thunder, and the horses were constantly enlarged in front of them, and they all wanted to throw away their firearms and flee immediately.

"Don't move!" Su Chengyu shouted, "I'm here with you!" Close your eyes if you're afraid! ”

The supreme commanders of the Dragon Guard Army are all standing here, and although the soldiers have the heart to run, it is really difficult to put them into action.

There are also people who guess that the commanders of the legion are here, and the cavalry must be pretentious and will not really rush up.

In the end, most of them muttered in their hearts, "Ye is not a bad seed", and simply closed their eyes, but the hand of the oblique fire gun trembled.

All the soldiers watching the battle were stunned at the sight of the cavalry about to step over the independent company.

The Zhu family thought that the infantry would dodge on their own, but when they arrived, they found that no one had moved, and it was too late to order their subordinates to slow down.

But a miraculous scene happened at this time!

When the horses were still more than ten meters away from the infantry's bayonets, they suddenly slammed down, some braked on the spot, and some slammed the reins and turned to the sides. In short, no horse wants to rush into the hedgehog-like knife bush in front of him.

When the last horse of the cavalry company stood in place, the soldiers of the independent company opened their eyes tremblingly, and some of the timid ones were frightened.

To be honest, Su Chengyu himself was also in a cold sweat. He believed, however, that there was absolutely no problem that a dense bayonet bush would be effective against a cavalry charge.

He believed that Napoleon would not lie to himself, and the Mamluk cavalry would not lie to himself. At the Battle of the Pyramids, the French relied on a similar phalanx of bayonets to resist the Egyptian cavalry charge.

So he was still standing there, like everyone else, his hands trembling incessantly.

He stabilized his nervousness, took a deep breath and walked out of the queue, stood up straight, and said in a loud voice to the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Guard: "The nature of horses is that they will never dare to pounce on the sharp knife formation!"

"Not only the horses, but also the riders did not dare to pounce on them. So, as long as you can hold your breath and keep in good formation, the cavalry charge will not be able to break through the bayonet bush! ”

This is simply too subversive of the common sense of the soldiers, especially the soldiers who have been on the battlefield know that if they encounter a surprise attack by the cavalry of the Qing army, unless they can be intercepted by superior firepower at a long distance, their own side will be defeated immediately.

But just now, the infantry did not fire a single shot, and they stubbornly blocked the cavalry charge!

You know, the cavalry will pay a lot of price for rushing forward like this. They would eat a lot of bullets as they approached the infantry, and if they couldn't break the infantry when they rushed through, it meant taking a few more rounds of bullets.

Then it is likely that the cavalry will be defeated!

Su Chengyu added: "Even if it is an extremely good cavalry, or blindfolded horse, the cavalry really rushes headlong into the infantry formation, I can tell you that he can push down two or three people at most."

"Even after he was poked down with a bayonet, he would block the cavalry behind him, causing the speed of the entire cavalry team to charge down rapidly!

"Then by now, everyone should understand the importance of a neat formation, and be sure to train diligently in the future!

"Remember, formation is your life! It is the life of the comrades-in-arms! How much combat power can a person have? But if everyone becomes a part of the battle array, and the whole battle array acts in unison, it can defeat several times the enemy!

"No matter how many ants there are, they can't beat a fist. I hope that the Dragon Guard can form an iron fist at any time! ”

Throughout the day, no soldier had the slightest contempt for training such as gathering formations and changing formations. The scene in the morning made each of them deeply understand that this seemingly simple and useless queue is so important.

Su Chengyu looked at the more and more neat and uniform infantry queue and nodded with satisfaction.

As long as he continued to train at this pace, he believed that these soldiers would soon become a combatable army.

But this morning, the strangeness of the soldiers of the company to shooting made him frown, and he secretly thought that everyone must be issued flintlock guns as soon as possible, so that they can greatly increase the amount of live ammunition training.

The craftsmen from the Ganzhou Ordnance Bureau had arrived in Longnan yesterday, and Su Chengyu directly assigned these manpower to Lu Ning, Xiong Zhong and others, and they made specific arrangements.

At present, there are two water wheels in the Suji Iron Yard, working day and night with hydraulic forging machines. A third water wheel will also be built soon.

It's just that Xiong Zhong's speed is a little slower. Without Su Chengyu's guidance, it took him half a month to try out the full set of process details of the plate armor. Until now, the first batch of finished products has not been delivered to the Dragon Guard.

Progress on the Luning side is smoother, and three boring machines have already been put into use. These boring machines only need six craftsmen to operate, and they can produce eighteen guns per day!

Now with the help of the new craftsmen, Lu Ning can continue to make boring machines.

According to Su Chengyu's calculations, if there are six boring machines, plus craftsmen hand-made, about 40 guns can be made every day. This used to be the work of about 300 craftsmen.

The power of industrial production can be seen. In fact, this is far from industrialization, only the use of more advanced processing equipment.

Of course, the upfront investment in manufacturing these devices is also very large. In the recent period, the income from the sale of steel ingots in the iron yard has basically been invested in forging machines and boring machines.

Fortunately, the main raw material for making plate armor and flintlock guns is steel, and Su Ji Iron Yard can produce it in large quantities by itself, and the cost is very low.

Otherwise, if he wanted to make these three hundred sets of plate armor with three coins and flint hairbolts, Su Chengyu would have to paste at least more than 30,000 taels of silver. However, in the one-stop production mode of raw materials and products, it only costs less than 8,000 taels.

In addition, now with the help of Song Yingxing, Su Chengyu doesn't have to worry too much about production technology.

Now, every afternoon, after he teaches the "Guide to the Work of the Guiding Envoys", he gives Song Yingxing a course in mathematics, physics and chemistry for more than an hour.

If there is a technical problem on the iron field, Song Yingxing will take it back to the Longwei military camp. After Su Chengyu solves it, he will specifically guide the craftsmen to deal with it. In general, the production of the Dragon Guard's armaments is now officially on the fast track.

Song Yingxing is tired of this. A few days ago, he saw the boring machine for the first time in Suji Iron Yard, and he almost didn't eat and sleep with it.
