Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 64 Military Exercises
Jingshi Yanwu Field

Zhu Youjian was wearing a golden battle armor and stood majestically on the high platform.

A Qing, Qi Jiguang, and Mrs. Li Yanhong stood on both sides.

They made a special trip to the Martial Arts Arena today to observe and guide Li Yan and his wife's army drills.

Now Li Yan's army has reached more than 1 people.

There are 1000 artillerymen, 200 tiger crouching cannons, and 50 red cannons!
4000 cavalry.

A cavalry is equipped with two horses.

The team has 1000 people.

80 carriages for food and military supplies

The firearms soldiers are 4000 people in the fusiliers.

The logistics supply is nearly 2000 people.

Although small in scale, they are all elite.

Each has a flintlock.

The cavalry is not only equipped with a short sword, but also has a flintlock on the horse.

Shooting with a gun at a long distance, and slashing with a knife at a close range.

The difficulty of training a firearms soldier is much lower than that of an archer soldier.

Archers not only require excellent psychological quality, physical strength and arm strength are indispensable, but also need to go through long-term training.

As for the firearms soldiers, as long as they are physically healthy and mentally strong, they can go into battle after a few days of training.

Facing the enemy and raising the gun to cover the shooting, as long as you don't deviate too much from the target, you can cause a lot of damage.

Most of Li Yan's subordinates are former elite rogues, who have experience in using firearms.

The main gunner of the artillery is also transferred from the Shenji Battalion, and a veteran guides five cannons.

Under the guidance of Qi Jiguang and Sun Chuanting, their marksmanship has improved a lot, and shooting from horseback is not a problem.

With Zhu Youjian's selfless support, it can be said that this army is basically armed to the teeth.

Seeing the well-equipped army in front of him, Zhu Youjian even looked forward to it.

Looking forward to seeing how they will ride and shoot the Eight Banners in the East.

It's a pity that their goal is not the captivity, but the army of rogues who are making trouble everywhere.

The position commander of this army is also not ordinary.

All are veterans with rich combat experience.

They are not only good at observing the enemy's situation and leading the charge, but also very brave.

The commander of the cavalry was drawn from the black armored cavalry.

The artillery commander was drawn from the Qi family army.

The commander of the flintlock gun was drawn from the Shenji Battalion.

This was prepared by Zhu Youjian in order to regain the lost land occupied by the rogues.

I have to say, with the help of Sun Chuanting and Qi Jiguang.

The training level of the soldiers is very good. Ten thousand soldiers stand neatly, all of them are full of energy.

Looking at the more than 1 soldiers who are well-equipped and energetic, Zhu Youjian is very satisfied.

He nodded to Li Yan:
"let's start"

Li Yan immediately bowed and saluted, then turned to face the army, and waved the command flag in the air.

Seeing the signal from the main general, the commanders of all arms immediately made preparations for the drill.

The first to start the drill was the artillery.

The obstacles covered by the cannons in red were quickly removed, revealing the dark muzzles of the cannons.

The artillery commander waved the command flag:
"Prepare"

"fire"

"Rumble..."

There was a loud bang, and clusters of flames suddenly spewed out from the muzzle of the black hole.

Twenty five red cannons began to bombard, and the gun targets on the shooting range were immediately covered by artillery fire.

The bombardment of 25 red cannons just stopped.

The muzzles of the other 25 red cannons began to burst into flames.

The four rounds of bombardment ended, and the gun targets on the shooting range were bombarded into countless fragments.

Seeing that the shelling was over, Li Yan waved the command flag again, and four thousand cavalry attacked from both wings.

"Come on"

"Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta..."

There was a sound of shouting and killing, the cavalry began to charge, thousands of horses galloped together, and the ground began to tremble violently after being shaken.

A hundred steps away from the shooting range, the cavalry took off their flintlock guns one after another, and the non-stop gunshots rang out instantly.

"Boom bang..."

With the firing of the flintlock, the targets that had been set up on the shooting range were shot one after another.

Two rounds of shooting introduced that the cavalry were less than fifty steps away from the enemy's position.

They quickly hung up their flintlock guns, shouted loudly, and drew out their short Mo Dao to kill the enemy.

The Ming cavalry marched forward bravely, holding a Mo Dao and began to slash and kill.

In the rushing and slashing of the fast horse and sharp blade, the enemy was instantly split in half.

After the cavalry drill was over, they quickly returned to their original places and immediately lined up their battle arrays neatly.

Commander-in-chief Li Yan waved the command flag again, and four thousand firearms soldiers with flintlock guns rushed up.

They walked in an orderly manner, pulling the trigger in turn.

The paper-wrapped bullets began to devour those, and the remnants scattered by the cavalry would be alive.

In a blink of an eye, the remnants of the enemy were cleared away, and the fusiliers returned to the front with a neat pace.

Although it was a drill, the majestic formation in front of him still made people's blood swell, and there was an urge to step forward and kill the enemy.

At the end of the infantry drill, the convoy began to move.

Unified transport carts pulled by four horses and gun carriages pulled by two horses drove past Zhu Youjian neatly and quickly.

The excited Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian couldn't help rubbing his eyes with his hands.

He didn't blink for a long time, which made his eyes feel a little dry.

But just as he put down his hand to rub his eyes, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes and yelling.

Immediately afterwards, a hundred female soldiers in red battle armor and white horses on their crotches came at a fast speed.

Like a brilliant red cloud, it comes quickly and orderly.

Before Zhu Youjian could say a word of admiration, Hong Niangzi smiled slightly, and a command flag appeared in her hand.

As the command flag in her hand waved in the air, a hundred female soldiers in red began to move rapidly.

Then a scene appeared in front of everyone, which shocked everyone.

Of course, those who know, except Li Yanhong.

Not only did all the soldiers widen their eyes in shock.

Ah Qing, the Yue female swordsman, Qi Jiguang, the military god of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youjian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, all opened their mouths wide in astonishment, and they didn't close them for a long time.

I saw the blossoming red and white clouds quickly condensed into four large characters.

"Long Live the Ming Dynasty"

If this kind of thing is in today's world, it is not surprising that fireworks can form subtitles.

But in the era of the Ming Dynasty, who would have thought of it, and who had seen it.

After the astonishment, the entire Martial Arts Field erupted into applause. As soon as the applause stopped, all the soldiers shouted in unison:

"Long Live the Ming Dynasty"

"Long live my emperor"

Amidst the huge shouts of all the soldiers during the exercise.

Mrs. Qi Jiguang and Li Yanhong walked up to Zhu Youjian and bowed:

"Your Majesty, we are determined to be the Great Ming Dynasty, and we will do our best to restore the territory of the Great Ming Dynasty, and we will die."

Zhu Youjian was also affected by the scene in front of him, he was very excited, and waved his hands to excuse the three.

"The three lovers are free of courtesy, I believe in your loyalty to me, Daming."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the three expressed gratitude, the red lady looked at the emperor and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to say a few words to boost the morale of the soldiers. I don't know if it is possible."

Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Yes, of course, the soldiers are about to fight for my Ming Dynasty, of course I want to encourage them."

"Thank you, my lord, my lord!"
