The military system of the Ming Dynasty led 100 people and 1,000 people, and those who were in this position often rode a horse when they led the army, followed by a few companions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Needless to say, there are dozens of personal soldiers to protect the battle, and they are also riding horses and wearing armor, which is called the elite of the first army, and they can charge into battle at critical times, but in fact, they often flee first when they encounter the enemy, and the chief officer escapes, and the soldiers below still have any fighting intentions.

Therefore, every time there is a big war, the generals send their own soldiers and soldiers to be the supervising team, and they specialize in killing the soldiers who escape from the battle, which is restricted.

However, the two regiments of the Huwei battalion are different, the large phalanx of more than 1,000 people, the regiment commander, the flag bearer, the drummer, and the trumpeter stand on the right side of the front row, and they are also on foot.

Moreover, the regiment always stood at the right end of the first row, observing the enemy in front of him, giving orders, and the drummers, trumpeters, and standard-bearers constantly responded according to his orders, and the rows of soldiers made tactical movements according to the flags, drums, and trumpets. Each platoon is flanked by generals who are responsible for correcting formations, maintaining the distance between the platoons, and directing tactical details in response to the enemy.

Although the firelock soldiers practiced alone in another place, there was also an array of young and strong auxiliaries on this training ground, who pretended to be the fire commanders who ran in front of the large formation, and made shooting movements at the sound of the general's orders.

Such a formation has high requirements for the queue, and the actions are orderly and cannot be done at will, which also determines that the movement is relatively uniform and not too fast.

The generals were all on foot, and they said that they had no possibility of escaping, and could only command the officers and soldiers to fight.

There is an array of spearmen behind the fire commanders, there are no worries, you can shoot with confidence, and the infantry array behind you is also a role of a warlord, if the fire soldiers do not fight well, the generals behind them will march the law.

On the battlefield, the firearms in the hands of the fire commander are waiting for the wooden stick in close combat, hand-to-hand combat is extremely disadvantaged, standing in front of the queue when the deflection is missed, the enemy is close, and the escape becomes the last to escape, how can the firearms soldier calm down to shoot and fight, there is a strict spear queue behind him, that is a city fortress composed of people, the fire commander can rely on this city fortress to fight in a loop, and the spear queue echoes each other.

There was a sharp trumpet, and the drum was also beaten, and the advancing spear array could be seen to stop suddenly, and the spears that had been raised vertically were all laid flat in layers.

There were sixty people in a horizontal row, and a full twenty rows of spears were put down layer by layer, although the dust was billowing on the training ground, the tip of the spear was shining in the sun, and it could still make people feel the murderous aura of the forest.

Almost the spears in the front five rows can reach the front of the first row, and it is conceivable that if the enemy kills this array on the battlefield, there is nothing to be done in the face of the dense steel jungle in front.

"Kill!!"

Li Hutou, the regiment commander on the right side of the first row of the team, shouted, the spear in his hand was flattened forward, and the drum beat rhythmically at intervals, and the entire infantry regiment raised the spear and stepped forward slowly in small steps.

"Keep moving!!"

Li Hutou shouted again, the spear in his hand was erected, the trumpet blew twice, the drum resumed the rhythm of the pace, and the rows of infantry all raised their spears and continued to move forward.

…………

"It's a little messy, but the formation is not scattered, and it's rare to walk a dozen steps and lean on the drum beat to be neat again, which is really good!"

Looking at the training over there, the veteran on the horse opened his mouth to comment, and the dozen or so generals surrounding him heard the veteran's praise, and one of them said in a deep voice on the horse:

"It's also a kind of goods, I haven't seen a fight, it's just a trick of showmanship, this kind of soldiers and horses are on top of the battle array, and the enemy will collapse before they arrive, and the whole world is that our soldiers and horses in Jizhen can stay in position."

"Don't look down on others, this Huwei battalion fought a battle with the Tartars outside the Xuanfu, isn't it a stake in formation, otherwise the captives are all cavalry, and they will definitely be crushed in one fell swoop, and then they can come back."

The veteran stared at the drill on the school ground, and said lightly, the way of civil and military affairs is competitive and competitive, and those generals are always unconvinced, but the advance and retreat of the soldiers and horses on this battlefield are well-founded, the orders are strict, and they are really in front of them, and they can't find anything to say for a while.

The regiment commander, the regiment deputy, the battalion officer, and the hundred households, all of these people were wearing Huwei plate armor and helmets, and their whole bodies were covered tightly, and the dust could not hide the flickering of the armor on their bodies.

"We have more than 100,000 soldiers in Jizhen, how many sets of armor can be made, there are only a few thousand people in this Huwei battalion, there are so many, look at the soldiers holding the blades, see what they are wearing, in the end, it is the emperor's close ministers, otherwise how can there be so much silver......"

After watching it again, a general on the side said in a muffled voice, this time the veteran didn't speak, and a younger general on the side said with a smile:

"Brother Zhang, this is not the silver allocated by the palace, Tianjin Wei is prosperous, Wang Tong relied on this Tianjin Wei to get a lot of silver, and sprinkled it out for training, which is naturally enough.

"I've also heard of this, but Wang Tong's soldiers are full of food and salary, and they don't

What kind of treasure money discount, although the practice is harder than ours, but the food is also full, the housing is good, and the pension or something is even more real, we must have this, and we can also make this in front of us.

"It's easy to say, the food and salary of the military department are allocated, the supervising army and the soldier Beidao have to eat a bite first, and the marshal has to pay filial piety to the palace, and the salary of the generals cannot be treated badly, how much can there be below...... However, our sons and daughters are all good, not inferior to these rich young masters ......",

"Needless to say, the military town of the world, who is not like this."

The veteran said in a cold voice, and the generals were immediately silenced, and the veteran pointed to the Huwei camp in front of him with a horsewhip, and said again:

"What do you think of this formation?"

“…… The soldiers are gathered rigorously, and if the enemy attacks in a hurry, he will not be able to take it,......"

“…… Good soldiers, good armor, but they are walking slowly, and they can't rush to ...... above the battle formation."

Everyone said a few words, they may not be able to understand, but in front of their own handsome, they are still clumsy, and it is good to leave the opportunity for guidance to the main general, and the veteran said in a deep voice:

"You say that as long as these are used properly, they are not long or bad, but the key to this formation is in the firearms, you see, such a dense array, if you shoot arrows into it, then there will be no shots, no matter how strict the restraints are, there are many casualties, and the formation will not be maintained, so you must use the fire to drive the enemy's archers away first, and you must also use fire guns to protect the queue, and you can't let the opponent's archers on horseback come over."

Hearing the veteran say this, everyone looked at it carefully, nodded their heads, and the veteran said again:

"The firearms battalion of this Huwei battalion is pulled out to practice alone, it seems that Wang Tong also knows this, so he has to practice hard alone, but the fire dysprosium alone is not enough, I am afraid that artillery will have to be added."

While he was talking, a group of cavalry in the distance galloped towards this side, and in a blink of an eye, he hurriedly dismounted for a person, and walked over quickly and knelt down to greet him:

"Subordinate Sun Zhibin saw the marshal, I didn't know that the marshal came to Tianjin Wei, it was too late to greet him, and I hope that the marshal is not strange!"

The person who can be called a handsome by Sun Zhibin, the general of the Tianjin Guard, is naturally only Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen, the veteran, it should be said that Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen, nodded with a smile on the horse, open. Said:

"Don't do so much false courtesy, after reading your letter, the old man just came over, he did see a lot of things, we can also learn from Jizhen, you have merit in this matter, don't kneel, get on the horse and come over to talk!"

Sun Zhibin did enough politeness, then got up and got on the horse, followed behind Qi Jiguang by half a horse, walked out for a distance, saw Qi Jiguang's contemplative face, stepped forward and said carefully:

"Marshal, the camp where Wang Tong trained the fire commander is still about three miles away from here, but it is on the side of the salt flats near the sea, and according to the rules, it is also practicing at this time, but do you want to go over and have a look?"

Qi Jiguang slowly shook his head after a while, and said in a deep voice:

"No need, seeing the appearance of this team, I also know that what you said in the letter is true, no wonder Yu Zhifu praised him, in the future, ...... in the future."

After saying a few words but not saying it, Sun Zhibin was a little confused about Qi Jiguang's intentions on the side, and said with a smile:

"What Wang Tong has in his hand is silver, sprinkled like flowing water, and with the teaching of Lord Yu, he naturally trains good soldiers, and the marshal knows that Wang Tong practices firecrackers, and gunpowder projectiles are cast every day as if they don't need money, and it is said that firecrackers have broken a lot, and ordinary soldiers and horses are willing to do this."

Yu Da is a word Zhifu, Qi Jiguang and Yu Daxian are affectionate, so it is called like this, Sun Zhibin opened his mouth to say a few words, but saw that Qi Jiguang was still there silent and contemplative, Bei Zhibin is also a general of Jizhen, so he naturally knows what Qi Jiguang is worried about, so he can't help but fight a little, and leaned closer and whispered:

"Marshal, is the situation so waiting over there in the Hara Loop?"

"Altan Khan's 10,000 households plus those Dingkou of the Horqin Department are nothing, but these people are not allowed on the side of Altan, even if the peace discussion is not on these people, it can just be used to practice ......, and it is always good to teach the captive to die, and it is also a good opportunity."

When Qi Jiguang said this, his spirits were a little more uplifted, Sun Zhibin hesitated, leaned closer, and said in a lower voice:

"Dashuai, Wang Tong is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he protects him very tightly, and many people have fallen in some things before and after the past few years, so why bother to have anything to do with this......"

"This doesn't matter, there are soldiers and horses of Daming on the left and right, shouldn't they contribute to Daming?"

…………

"Lord Wang, there are outsiders watching the troops in the training place of the first and second regiments today, and the Tan regiment always sent people to drive them away, but it was Lord Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Jizhen Town, who was watching."

Wang Tong knew about the things near the school that night, but he was also puzzled, because he didn't know the ins and outs at all, but Shandong Dong Chuangxi had a letter, thinking that the arrow had been shot into his yard.
