Looking at the firing of the last two rows of swordsmen, everyone in the field showed an excited expression, it was too violent, the firepower was too fierce, under normal circumstances, the enemy in front of him, in the face of such a blow, would basically collapse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of panicked and dazed enemies, the swordsmen can also take the opportunity to stab a few to death, speeding up their collapse.

Of course, for such tactics, the soldiers need to have sophisticated firearms, otherwise if they accidentally blow up the chamber, they will not be one or two.

This kind of tactics is also a test of psychological quality, after all, the board machine is ringing in the ears, the fire is rising next to it, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke is close at hand.

Therefore, two rows and two rows of training shooting, for the time being, are only first-class swordsmen.

"Boom, boom."

The sound of hooves is like thunder, the cavalry and infantry of various armies are training, and the cavalry battalions of the Chinese army are also training.

The fiery red horsehair was flying, and the difference between the cavalry battalion and the cavalry infantry of each army was the horse's mane, as well as the round shield on the left arm of each knight, all dyed a uniform red.

Wang Dou raised the clairvoyant mirror, and the smoke and dust were billowing on the other side of the field, at this time, there were rows of knights holding horse lances in array to attack, and there were rows of knights holding sabers, who were working hard to train the array.

After the expansion, the cavalry battalion of the Chinese army was expanded into two battalions, the left cavalry battalion, the right cavalry battalion, the left battalion was the first-class battalion, and the right battalion was the second-class battalion.

Some of their sources of soldiers were drawn from various battalions, and most of the new sources were Shen Shiqi's Zhongyi Battalion, the seeds of the training division's weekday training, the Ming swordsmen who entered Xuanfu Town, and a small number of Mongols from the new attached camp.

Originally, Li Guangheng wanted to draw mounted infantry from various battalions. However, the generals of each battalion are all croaking, and after the expansion of the army, the first-class army under the battalion is already in short supply. And to be transferred to the cavalry battalion?

After arguing and negotiating, in the end, he transferred troops from Shen Shiqi's Zhongyi battalion, because he was in his battalion. Basically, they are all former generals, and their riding skills are outstanding.

Of course, Shen Shiqi also croaked. However, the old army selected from all walks of life in Xuanfu Town continued to enter the Zhongyi camp, which made his shouting voice a little lower, but think about these people, in the future, a large part of them will still be selected into the camps of the Jingbian Army. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's the life of the nurse." ”

The second battalion of cavalry, the left battalion is the horse lance cavalry, the right battalion is the saber cavalry, the war horses of one color are excellent, and the rest of the first-class battalions of each army. Although everyone should also be equipped with horses, but the expansion of the Jingbian Army, the originally surplus horses became nervous, it would be good to have horses, and don't think about war horses.

Wang Dou gave the first-class battalions of the various armies, those mounted infantry, a resounding title: "Feather Cavalry." ”

However, these genuine knights are still full of superiority over those "feathered cavalry".

Looking at those horse lance cavalry, charging forward with overwhelming momentum, Li Guangheng said proudly: "General, it's not the last general to brag, looking at all parts of the Ming Dynasty, the cavalry that can be compared with my left battalion, there is no longer one, that is, the Tartars dismount and fight in formation, and the soldiers of my left battalion can also break it!" ”

When Li Guangheng spoke, the rest of the generals all looked at those knights with envy and jealousy.

Hearing this, Gao Shiyin pursed his lips: "What age is it, and you still use cavalry to break the formation?" In our Jingbian army, the artillery is the sharpest, and it is safe to bombard from a distance, even if it is bombarded with firearms, it is not good to bombard the opening, and the cavalry will then rush up? ”

"Yes."

Zhao Xuan also drooled and looked at the knights' war horses, his artillery battalion, although everyone was equipped with horses, but except for the officers, all the horses were mules and horses, he said: "How expensive is Captain Li's cavalry? It's not a good thing to lose one, so let's follow behind. ”

Looking at everyone's expressions, Li Guangheng laughed: "I understand, you are jealous." ”

He was in a very happy mood, when he joined the Shunxiang Army, he never imagined that he would have so many fierce knights.

……

The next day, Wang Dou and others inspected the artillery training site.

This artillery training ground is on the southeast edge of the teaching ground, and the terrain of this place is complex, with flat rivers, mountains, and hills. A few miles southeast and a few miles away from the site, is the newly established Zhencheng artillery foundry, away from the Jiajiaying military factory, not very far, except for the Yongning City artillery factory, this is the second artillery factory of the Jingbian Army.

In the battle of Liaodong, the Tatars used more than ten catties of heavy artillery, which made the generals of the Jingbian Army collectively shake, so after returning to the East Road, the proposal of casting heavy artillery was put on Wang Dou's desk.

As far as the Jingbian Army is concerned, artillery is an important factor in their outstanding combat strength, and they often bombard the enemy from a distance, and in the shortest possible time, they can smash the most shells on the enemy's head, and within the firing range, they can control everything.

However, in the battle of Liaodong, they suffered from the heavy artillery blows of the Han Eight Banners, although these Han banners were destroyed, who knows if there will be such an enemy again? Even if it is better to prevent trouble, this heavy artillery must be cast.

Otherwise, if such a strong enemy comes out again, isn't it a formation and being beaten? This does not conform to the style of the Jingbian army in bullying the opponent with violent firepower.

Zhencheng Cannon Foundry, the main casting, is the Hongyi heavy cannon, as well as the mortar cannon.

Yongning City Cannon Foundry is a small and medium-sized cannon in Hongyi that casts three or five catties of cannons, and also begins to cast Franc machine guns, Baizi guns, etc.

"Tom, tom."

In the dull sound of cannons, the 20 mortars in front of him, which were firing 10 catties of cannons, spewed out a large puff of smoke, and then one by one the poisonous smoke bombs flew out of the muzzles of the cannons and headed towards the target.

Everyone watched, and saw twenty cannons, some of which exploded by themselves when they shot into the air, and some continued to fly, but very few of them could actually hit, far less than the Hongyi cannons in the current army.

Slow hitting, low hits, this is the status quo of mortars.

After all, curved shells involve complex mathematical calculations, and fuzes are a particular problem.

Looking at everyone's expressions, especially Wang Dou's expression, Zhao Xuan hurriedly said: "General, after the development of the military factory, the fuse has been improved, in fact, the firing speed and accuracy of the mortar cannon in our army have improved a lot compared with other armies, and over time, it can be even higher." ”

He has always been enthusiastic about new weapons, and he also has great expectations for mortars, fearing that Wang Dou will not be satisfied. On the reduction of the mortar research casting, hurriedly explained.

Wang Dou nodded and said, "Like a self-generated firearm, the mortar has all kinds of drawbacks. However, it is obvious that it will definitely become a major weapon of the artillery battalion in the future. ”

Zhao Xuan put his mind at ease and said happily: "The general is wise, this mortar is really good." The Admiral felt that he should be equipped more. ”

After the expansion of the army, his artillery battalion. It has also expanded a lot, and there are also professional escort fighters, but it is not divided into left and right battalions, it is still a large battalion, and the more artillery there is in the battalion.

Because of the iron mold method, cannons can be cast in four seasons. Since April of the 14th year of Chongzhen, the cannon factory has cast a lot of artillery out, especially the Zhencheng cannon factory opened, and now Wang Dou has 140 Hongyi cannons, and five heavy cannons with more than 10 catties of guns. There were also thirty mortars.

However, for the time being, there are only 100 Hongyi cannons and 20 mortar cannons in the equipment battalion, and the rest are used as stocks, and the five heavy cannons are also not equipped.

Collect some Franc machines in Xuanfu Town, plus the original battalion Franc machine artillery, and there are 50 general Franc machine guns, and 100 small and medium-sized Franc machine guns to equip the battalion.

In addition, in addition to making their own, they also found ways to obtain Franc cannons from various places.

After all, everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, although there are not many Hongyi cannons, there are a lot of Franc cannons, Jiajing three years to the present, after the Ming Dynasty successfully imitated the first batch of Franc machines, all kinds of Franc cannons cast, I am afraid of no less than 10,000 guns, sometimes a border town castle, it reaches hundreds of guns.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan's artillery battalion is very large and has fierce firepower.

Originally, it was planned that all armies and battalions should be equipped with some artillery, but Zhao Xuan insisted on the centralized use of artillery, and he believed that all armies and battalions were equipped with artillery, which would greatly share the power of artillery fire.

The rest of the generals, of course, wanted to equip their armies with artillery, and they engaged in a month-long argument with Zhao Xuan, and finally Wang Dou remembered that it seemed that in history, Napoleon, Wellington, and Archduke Charles had tried to distribute some artillery directly to regiments, or even units below regimental levels.

However, because this method had too much freedom, it was not conducive to concentrating artillery firepower, and it was finally changed back to the original situation.

The advantage of the traverser is that you can learn from it, less detours, the Hongyi cannon used in the army at the moment, the Franc machine, etc., after all, the power is still small, and it is difficult to reflect the power of the artillery if it is not used intensively, and in the end, Wang Dou agreed to Zhao Xuan's proposal.

The compromise is to consider the situation, if a certain army or battalion goes out on an expedition or on the battlefield, the artillery battalion will send one or one artillery to support it, and a special escort team will be prepared.

"Yes, if the mortar fuse can be solved, it can be equipped in large quantities in the army, at present, our Jingbian army has more than 100 Hongyi cannons, or less, to be greatly cast, 200, 300, 500, in the end, the artillery battalion must have 1,000 artillery!"

Wang Dou's words made everyone proud.

Looking at the training situation in front of him, where people shouted and neighed, Wen Fangliang said with high spirits: "Governing the army with integrity, arraying in a dignified array, all of them are as one, the firepower is strong, there is no army in the world, it is the opponent of my Jingbian army!" ”

"The opponent is a world-famous general, and my commander will be a mediocre general, but with the strength of my soldiers, I will be invincible."

"Famous general?"

Gao Shiyin shouted: "Lao Tzu is a famous general!" ”

He shouted: "Back then, when the thieves were recruited, Liu Fangliang was a famous general who broke into the camp, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses besieged him, but he was defeated by Lao Tzu!" ”

"The soldier is not strong, but the general is strong, and there is a fart?"

The crowd laughed.

Wang Dou also smiled and nodded, to be honest, although the outside world pays great attention to the Jingbian Army, and often comments on the advantages and disadvantages of the generals of the Jingbian Army, Wang Dou knows that there are no earth-shattering talents under his command, and all of them are just middle-class people.

However, standardization, institutionalization, and strong firepower are enough to crush all opponents and sweep all historical generals.

"This is my real capital, my real strength!"

Looking at the hot drill, Wang Dou was fascinated, he already had enough capital, but where should he go in the future?

People are like this, the state of mind changes with the change of ability and environment, no one is a natural hero, Cao Mengde, the original wish is just to be a petty official, and spend a lifetime with friends.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's original wish was just to eat a full meal and let his brothers and family not starve to death.

At the beginning, I was also struggling to survive, and it was unimaginable for me to come to this point.

"Sometimes, there are always regrets in my heart, I miss my parents, wife and daughter, and I miss the honest and big earth dog......"

"Sometimes, I also envy Wang Dou in my memory, the kind of heartless, no pressure, no worries and burdens......"

"Sometimes, I also miss the life of Jingbiandun and Jingbianbao......"

However, Wang Dou knew that he could not turn back. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
