Chapter 56

"Prefer a gun first!"

"put!"

Bang! Bang bang!

"Change the line and raise the gun!"

"put!"

Bang! Bang bang!

As May enters, the weather gets hotter and hotter, and the garrison troops in Xinjiangqiao Kinki gradually relax with the garrison that has been missing for more than a month, no longer as tired as they were waiting for the battle.

On the river, soldiers who were resting in the barbarian camp were catching fish in the stream, and on the shore, there were soldiers who were leisurely experiencing the summer heat under the shade of trees. Of course, their biggest entertainment program in recent days was the sun above the heads of the shore guards who had been skilled in the military orders that they had already become proficient in the military.

Chen Junye was an autocratic person. He turned a deaf ear to these ridicule and asked his subordinates to turn a deaf ear to this. After fifty years of replenishment in Beishan, he had a full-form flag and more than sixty recruited village heroes to train a 100-strong army order all day long. The soldiers were in a miserable way.

Fortunately, they are used to it.

If the military officers of the garrison were not born with great dignity towards the military households and the village courage, watching Chen Mu and others defeat the chaos in Xinjiang Town, it would be difficult for Chen Mu to train the flag army for a long time and strictly in this situation. The implementation of orders is not a problem, but the big problem is to watch the fun of the camp next to him.

It’s like the freshman who was tanning coal balls in the sun in the military training. The seniors and sisters were holding a big watermelon under the shade of the tree next to them, and they were all red and pointed at you. Forget it, the watermelon is so cold!

Execution is related to interests and motivation. The flag army cannot see what benefits the orders of the military bring to them. It can only see the troubles in front of them. In order to make them willingly accept the training, Chen Mu almost wrinkled his mouth, like "sweating more often in normal times in wartime and less bleeding", but it is a dream to expect the flag army to understand this sentence.

It’s okay to scare the new servants. These reckless men who don’t understand military orders followed Chen Mu to practice various skills in their special orders, and they would kill their heads that could hang their waists. If they don’t learn this thing, they would bleed less during wartime!

But Chen Mu saw the benefits, so he had great execution power, and the flag army could only patiently endure ridicule.

Because of simplicity, unified military orders really work.

The flag army followed the orders, Qi Zhengyan was stuffed into the bird gun team with Chen Mu's bird gun team, forming a group of four bird gun teams in three groups, carrying out three-stage strikes of the Ming Dynasty's fuselage gun tactics, and continuously suppressed and fired in the form of a replacement and a gun. At the same time, more crossbowmen under his command followed the same order and used longbows to conduct intermittent volleys. However, this time Chen Mu changed the conventional formation arrangement.

The spear and swords crouch in front of the formation, and the wooden shield spear was used to resist the approaching enemy. The longbowers stood in the middle with three rows, and two groups of bird gunners on both sides formed a cross-fire net.

This is not a conventional battle formation, but a special formation with Xinjiang Bridge as the predetermined battlefield. On the basis of ensuring that the longbowmen charge and suppress the enemy, bird guns form a killing and shooting world without leaving any empty bullets.

As for other formations, they cannot be formed quickly after cramming, and Chen Mu has no other extravagant hopes - let's live this battle first!

In early May, Bai Yuanjie showed joy and smiled and found Chen Mu's military training riverside with a smile. She looked at him from afar. Then she stepped forward and smiled and said, "It's only a month, there is already the shape of an elite soldier. There is a happy event in Qingyuan, so come with me."

There is a happy event in Qingyuan?

Chen Mu frowned and thought hard, walked away a few steps to the remote place and asked Bai Yuanjie, "Shao Mangzi's family wants to give birth to a baby for him again?"

"You, the military household suffers from poverty, what's the joy of having a baby... Well, it's not like this to be a good life with your military household. What you asked Bai to do earlier, Tan Zili went north, just the day before yesterday." Bai Yuanjie rarely kept a secret and said, "That telescope."

Chen Mu widened his eyes and slapped his head. He was always worried about Li Yayuan's attack in Shaozhou Prefecture. He had long forgotten the matter of sending the telescope. At this time, he was excited when Bai Yuanjie said it for granted and asked hurriedly: "Can Guan Jiang make the telescope, and can thousands of households send it out?"

"Don't worry, if you don't send it out, would it be a happy event? He went north to Shaozhou Prefecture and happened to pass by Qingyuan Guard. When he was resting, Bai Qi sent the mirror in and mentioned Bai's name." Bai Yuanjie paused again, then laughed and said, "Of course I didn't forget to say that you made the telescope, which was specially for him to go north to Yushou Ji Town! If you were in Qingyuan, Tan Zili would still want to see you."

"It's not easy for you to see the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. This is a thousand taels of silver that cannot be bribed. It's a great blessing. Your telescope is very suitable for its wishes." Bai Yuanjie smiled and asked unusually: "Tan Zili went north to Jizhen. You said you would send a telescope to help him guard against the captives. This is beneficial to the country and the people. Bai knows, where are you talking about selfishness?"

Where is self-interest?

Chen Mu didn't know either. He couldn't tell Bai Yuanjie that Qi Jiguang was the same line. In a few years, Zhang Juzheng would be the chief minister of the God's domestic cabinet, right?

He could only smile and said, "Isn't this a great thing to know a civil servant in a high position?"

Bai Yuanjie looked at Chen Mu, and did not delve into the similarly scheming answer, and smiled and said, "In three or five months, you can write a letter to Tan Zili. If the telescope is effective, he should remember you."

Chen Mu smiled wildly. When he wrote a letter for half a year, Tan Lun might not remember him, the unknown man who presented his telescope. His hope was nothing more than that when one day he could defeat him, Tan Lun, who was in a high position, would remember that he had helped him.

Mr. Chen will not always be Mr. Chen, and he will not always be an unknown person. And kindness is only favor when his status is equal or slightly worse than that, otherwise it is a tribute, and tribute is just for granted.

Yu Dayou received a letter of help from Deng Zilong, but did not transfer artillery from the main force of the army. Instead, he dismantled three artillery pieces from the Guangdong Navy warship and transported them to Xinjiang Town, Shaozhou Prefecture for a long distance. It took more than a month to go. If Li Yayuan had attacked Xinjiang Town, these artillery would be directly transported to the army's main formation.

Two Franco cannons of the same shape, and a copper-made cannon were pushed to the bridgehead of Xinjiang Town. They were originally two Franco cannons, which looked extremely majestic.

The firing cannons were larger than their small Fran machine cannons and required more gunpowder. Including the four-wheeled low-rise cannon stands, it weighed nearly a thousand kilograms, and fired four kilograms of projectiles. It was a front-mounted smoothbore cannon. It was a version of the falcon made by the Ming Dynasty. The firing was transliterated by falcon, and the western-made five-pound cannon, with a range of four to five miles.

However, this range is not available on the battlefield of Xinjiang Town. Even Lingnan, surrounded by mountains and ridges, can find not many preset battlefields that can completely meet the range of firearms.

The boring and tormenting waited until late May, when a soldier from the Manliao Camp in Xinjiangdong was sailing straight on a boat, shouting: "The enemy is invading!"

Li Yayuan, here you go!

Note:

The method of Oda's third-section attack in the Warring States Period in Japan was to change the gun but not replace the person, and to use the most accurate gunner as the shooter; the Ming army's third-section attack was to change both guns and guns.

As early as in the 14th year of Hongwu (1381), the general Mu Ying of the Ming Dynasty attacked the Yunnan elephant soldiers. He used firearms to continuously shoot target soldiers and caused panic, causing enemy elephants to return to their own formation.
