Chapter Fifty-Six: New Tactics

[To be added later]

"Yes!" Xu Yanqi's body trembled slightly and took the flag: "Follow Lord Yiming, Wan Sheng!" ”

"Follow Lord Yiming, Wan Sheng!"

"Follow Lord Yiming, Wan Sheng!"

"Follow Lord Yiming, Wan Sheng!"

……

Behind Xu Yanqi, 1,500 soldiers shouted loudly.

……

Next, Zhu Cihong began to go to another Liu Sheng's department. This time, Liu Sheng's eyes were slightly sad.

Strictly speaking, Liu Sheng's division has a record that exceeds that of the Flying Bear Battalion. But Zhu's meaning is clear, this is to recognize the troops who played a key role in the battle.

And Xu Yanqi's department is the first battle of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, those under Liu Zhen who insisted on the fierce battle, and the few soldiers under the command of Shandong Town who stayed and insisted on fighting.

The courage and sacrifice they paid in the battle were more than Liu Sheng's subordinates who played at the last moment as a killer hole card.

As the commander of an army, it is obviously not enough to simply look at the efforts of each army based on the results of its achievements. Zhu Cihong's position determined that he needed to take a more far-sighted and balanced view of the handling of military affairs in an all-round way.

Otherwise, in the war, all the ministries will want to be the killer weapon at the last moment, but they are unwilling to sacrifice and bear it. An army that only thinks about fighting for merit is something that Zhu Cihong never wants to see, and strangling this kind of sign is the basic skill of a qualified commander.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Cihong still decided to use Xu Yanqi's department as the first infantry battalion in the army to receive a separate battalion flag.

In this regard, Liu Sheng complained for a while and quickly returned to normal.

As the main force in the army, Zhu Cihong has never been short of supplies. World War I down. The reward of the reward, the promotion of the promotion. This part can be really according to military merits.

Moreover, after Xu Yanqi's department got the battalion flag of the Flying Bear Battalion. Instead, Xu Yanqi's department got a sequence of the first infantry battalion in Shandong Town.

Next, Zhu Cihong walked all the way over and inspected the 1,500 officers and men under the command of the 1st Infantry Battalion. And awarded the flag. and the 1st Cavalry Battalion under Li Zhen.

At this point, the sequence of Shandong Town was thus determined.

It's just that Zhu Cihong can obviously see it. The eyes of the various ministries looking at Xu Yanqi have quietly taken on something else.

"After the battle of Kaifeng is over, I will consider giving out the banner of the Tiger Camp and the Tengxiang Battalion." In this regard, Zhu Cihong just smiled lightly, which made the eyes of all the generals become hot. Only Chang Zhilang on the side was still a little worried.

See here. Zhu Cihong said lightly: "You can talk less about the affairs of the imperial court." Restore my strong army in the early Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty will definitely not refuse. ”

The crowd humorously stopped talking about it.

At this time, Zhu Cihong looked at Li Jun and Liu Quan with a smile, and said, "Let's go, now only the town's artillery battalion is left to watch." I'm going to see how the tankization of the artillery battalion goes! ”

Soon, everyone followed Zhu Cihong to the military formation of the artillery battalion.

Seeing Zhu Cihong coming, Xu Hong, one hundred households in the auxiliary barracks, Liu Quan, one thousand households in the artillery battalion, and Li Jun's apprentice from the Ordnance Institute, Li Huan began to introduce them one after another.

"The Warden commanded. All artillery in the army is equipped with combat vehicles. After receiving the task, the Ordnance Institute began to build combat vehicles with its subordinates. Among them, the two-wheeled chariot with ten furlong machines was built the most quickly. Because there are four old craftsmen in the armory who have built this kind of chariot for Grandpa Qi. It only takes a little recollection to create a chariot that can be dragged by only two angry horses. The speed is not much different from walking in the army. Li Huan said, signaling an artillery flag to start operating.

The shape of the Fran chariot made of ordnance is quite similar to the civilian cart, but there are differences. The carts of the folk have panels on each side of the trunk, and this chariot has only 8 foldable screens. It is 15 feet long and usually rests flat on the wheels. During the battle, it was opened behind one wheel to replace the car box, which Li Huan called a partial box car. At the same time, this screen can also hide from the rain of arrows and exists as a primary fortification.

Soon, the chariot with a Franc cannon began to move under the busyness of a small group of flags.

What made Zhu Cihong's eyes light up slightly was that the flexibility of this chariot was obviously much higher than that of ordinary carts. It is equipped with a design that adjusts the muzzle and quickly resets. Moreover, because there was only one furlong, the chariot was indeed much lighter to pull.

In addition, horses and chariots have an elaborate mechanism that allows them to quickly disconnect from the chariot. This was also a helpless move, and the horses in the army could not stand the sound of artillery shelling. Zhu Cihong and the others knew that this could be trained, but they didn't have enough time, so they could only do so.

What made Zhu Cihong quite satisfied was that after the horses were untied, these organs could quickly take over other chariots.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong nodded towards Liu Quan: "The light chariots are all together, I'll take a look." ”

Suddenly, more than a dozen vehicles were connected side by side and arranged into a small circular fortification. At the end of the fortification, the screen can be swayed back and forth, like two door leaves. In this way, both the retreat and the reinforcement become rapid.

Zhu Cihong applauded slightly and said, "Well done." The Ordnance Institute submitted the list of meritorious persons as soon as possible, and the Military Affairs Department quickly did a good job of receiving and rewarding them. ”

Seeing this, Li Huan, Li Jun and Liu Quan on the side suddenly said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord for your grace!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates remember." Si Qi said with a smile.

"Alright, let's pull up the heavy tank." Zhu Cihong implied expectation.

A short time later, the armory towed the heavy tank again.

However, what made Zhu Cihong frown slightly was that although these heavy chariots could also be attached to form a defensive line, the speed was too slow.

Compared to the Furlong cannon, the redcoat cannon was too heavy.

Zhu Cihong also knew that although the Furlong machine was also an artillery, the length of such light artillery was only 3 feet to 7 feet, and all the calibers were less than 2 inches. Even at the extreme, it can only be considered a large-caliber musket. As a result, such a vehicle can be made lightweight. The formation of a vehicle formation with a Franc cannon is a firearmized infantry tactic that is different from artillery.

But heavy artillery is different.

A redcoat cannon with a length of about 3 meters, a caliber of 110-130 mm, and a weight of more than 2 tons is the real artillery.

At this time, the red-coated artillery used the chariot to form a chariot formation, and it was obviously wrong in thinking.

"Heavy vehicles are not counted in the deployment of the vehicle array." Zhu Cihong groaned: "The idea of the heavy chariot should be the direction of the heavy gun car. As a field force, it must have the flexibility to coordinate and match infantry operations. The improvement of combat vehicles should focus on getting to the battlefield quickly. Or, let the heavy artillery go to the center of the formation; Or, let the heavy artillery go to the safe rear and fire at a distance. (To be continued......)
