Chapter 315: Discipline and Training
White smoke shrouded the school grounds of the Qingzhou battalion, and the soldiers of the five hundred pioneer battalions took turns shooting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Here, the first firearms battalion of the Qingzhou Army was officially born, and more soldiers of the Qingzhou Army will be converted into flintlock pistol units in the future.
"Now you know how to make a flintlock pistol and how to use it to kill people, but this is only the beginning, remember that you have been a unit, you are and will be one, and you will be trained and disciplined to be more rigorous, because only then will the weapons in your hands be able to lead you to the ultimate victory! Got it! ”
At this moment, Xiao Ming shouted loudly.
"Got it!" The soldiers of the pioneer battalion replied to Xiao Ming in a loud voice.
Nodding, Xiao Ming said to Lu Fei, Niu Ben, Luo Xin and other generals: "From now on, you will receive formal tactical skills, which will allow you to know how to command an army with flintlock pistols. ”
At this moment, Xiao Ming was the supreme general in Qingzhou, and Niu Ben and others gave Xiao Ming a military salute one after another, and they should say yes loudly.
The first batch of flintlock pistols was handed over to the pioneer battalion in Qingzhou, and the problem faced by the Qingzhou army below was strict training and discipline, which was reflected in the performance of this training on the battlefield, that no matter what kind of attack it withdrew, it would not throw itself into a disorderly formation.
When a comrade fell beside him, he was still able to reload his bullets calmly, rather than nervously forgetting that he had stuffed a few bullets into the barrel.
Only by reaching such a level of training can this army armed with flintlock pistols be able to maintain its formation in the face of the charge of the barbarian iron cavalry on the battlefield, immobile as a mountain, and aggression as fire.
"In that case, Niu Dudu, you arrange a time for the generals to go to the Bowen Academy, this king has prepared a school for you, and you will see even more magical things in the school."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Niu Ben had a straight face.
Nodding, Xiao Ming instructed how to use these five hundred flintlock guns, although these five hundred flintlock pistols were for the pioneer battalion, it did not mean that the pioneer battalion wanted to monopolize this batch of flintlock pistols.
Because for Xiao Ming, he couldn't wait for the equipment to be equipped before training other soldiers, so these five hundred flintlock pistols had to be trained by other soldiers in turn, mastering the order of loading ammunition and shooting.
At the same time, the Qingzhou Army will train musket queues at the same time, including small columns, small horizontal columns, how to quickly turn small columns into large columns on the battlefield, and from large columns to small columns, small horizontal teams.
Of course, the most important thing is to deal with the hollow phalanx of the master regiment of the cavalry, which is also the best array to prevent the barbarian cavalry from breaking the formation on the battlefield in the future.
After all, in history, this array has withstood the test of numerous wars.
After explaining the next training content of the Qingzhou Army, Xiao Ming left the barracks.
On the way back to Qingzhou City, he saw many people catching locusts.
Such a scene made Xiao Ming smile, but Xiao Ming, who thought that the land in Qingzhou was still arid, suddenly couldn't laugh, and then he remembered Yue Yun, if it could bring back corn, potatoes, and other things.
Even in the arid land, he wouldn't be hungry, and thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to Yue Yun's early return......
The icy waters lapped against the bullet-riddled hull of the Galen.
In the distance, a battleship with the flag of Great Britain was slowly sinking, and flames, blood, and the corpses of hundreds of British people were floating on the sea.
In the rear of the Galen ship, two British battleships clung to the Galen ship flying the pirate flag, which were two third-class sail battleships, and the number of guns was twice that of the Yueyun Galen ship, which was enough to sink the fifth-class sail battleship in an instant in another fire.
Just when Xiao Ming was worried about Yue Yun and his party, Yue Yun had just finished a naval battle and was about to return.
Because he didn't believe Wilson, Yue Yun didn't let Wilson go ashore when he sent him to the dock in India, but asked the people at the dock to inform the local garrison to bring over the corn, peanuts, and potatoes they needed, so that they could return Wilson.
And after he expressed this request, Yue Yun quickly got a reply, and the British were willing to exchange these things that were worthless in their eyes for Wilson.
Yue Yun was surprised by this unexpected smoothness and did not let his guard down at the same time.
When the British were about to fill the cabins of the three ships, Yue Yun wanted to release Wilson and leave smoothly, when he suddenly saw the British battleship slowly moving out of the dock harbor.
Only then did he understand that this was nothing more than a delaying tactic by the British, who seemed to be more concerned about the three Galen ships in Qingzhou than about Wilson.
When a battleship left the harbor, Yue Yun immediately gave the order to open fire, and at the same time, the British battleships opened fire at the same time, and after a salvo, with the flexibility of the Qingzhou Galen ship, before the second salvo of the British battleship, the three Galen ships turned around again and fired a second salvo at the battleship.
Under fire from three Galen ships, the battleship was sunk, while two more battleships again set out from the harbor to try to outflank them.
The firepower of a battleship had already severely damaged two of the Qingzhou Galen ships at this time, and Yue Yun knew very well what the consequences would be if the battle continued.
He decisively chose to run away, after all, their goal had been achieved and what they wanted was obtained.
"Wilson, is this how you British hospitality?"
Yue Yun's eyes were red, in this battle, the enemy was injured by 1,000 and suffered 800 casualties, but there were more than 30 crew members on his ship.
The casualties on the other two ships are not yet known.
And now the ship is not sinking, but the first is extremely serious, and he needs to find a place to repair the ship before he can continue sailing.
The cold blade was pressed against Wilson's neck, and Wilson hurriedly explained to the interpreter: "It's not my fault, as long as the British see this kind of Galen ship, they will definitely ask for a reason, and they will not let you go." ”
Yue Yun glanced at the battleship behind him, if it went on like this, they would definitely be caught up, because one of the masts on the ship was broken.
"Even if you die, you will be buried with you." The knife in Yue Yun's hand was even harder.
Wilson turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said: "Don't kill me, I know that there is a place where only ships like you can pass, and battleships can't pass, as long as you get there, I promise you that they won't chase you again." ”
"Captain, what should I do? Can you still trust him? ”
Yue Yun hesitated, he looked at the battleship that was chasing after him and said: "It doesn't matter if we die, but His Highness's instructions are all over, forget it, believe him again, it's a big deal for everyone to die together!" ”
