The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 144 Arrangement
"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

Above the school grounds, the flames were connected, the smoke filled the air, and the sound of gunfire was deafening.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

There was a thunderous roar immediately after, it was the sound of the tiger crouching cannon.

Numerous shotguns shot out from the tiger squatting cannons placed between the gun soldiers, covering the entire front of the gun soldiers in an instant.

A large group of gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, covering everyone's sight for an instant.

Chen Wang moved his eyes away from the group of blunderbuss soldiers, and moved to the front of the blunderbuss formation.

The dozens of straw figures placed there were already battered and riddled with holes, and the entire site was in a mess.

The sharp swan sound suddenly sounded, which was the order to fire the guns.

The three-eyed guns in the hands of the gunmen in the first row had already fired, but they didn't make any movements, still half kneeling on the ground.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"

The loud noise that belonged exclusively to the three-eyed guns sounded from behind them. The three-eyed gunmen in the second row did not go to the first row, but stood up and fired.

With the sound of the explosion of the volleyball, thick gunpowder smoke suddenly rose from the three-eyed blunderbuss.

The three-eyed gunmen in the second row did not shoot out all the lead bullets in an instant. They only ignited one barrel at a time, and then quickly turned the three-eyed guns in their hands.
Turn the barrel of the blunderbuss, click the fire button again, and there will be another sound of blunderbuss and a cloud of gunpowder smoke.

Thick fire smoke flickered in the formation of gunmen one after another, and the sound of the platoon rang three times in succession before finally stopping.

Then the three-eyed gunmen in the second row squatted on the ground immediately, and the deafening sound of the guns rang out again, this time it was the three-eyed gunmen standing in the third row who were firing.

Chen Wang wore a three-flag moonlight helmet, a waist-length fish-scale armor, and a scarlet battle skirt. He sat on the stands and watched the gunmen who were practicing on the school field.

Teaching and educating people should teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

Battlefield tactics should also be changed according to the characteristics of weapons.

In the final analysis, the three-eyed gun is still a fire door gun, and the gunmen holding the three-eyed gun cannot be as close as the gunners holding the flintlock. There must be a large gap between them.

The three-eyed gun is suitable for alternate shooting of bird guns, that is, matchlock guns, because of its slow loading, and alternate loading is not suitable for three-eyed guns.

So Chen Wang simply let the tactics be reformed, and the tactics of burst shooting are just like what they are now.

The gunners in the first row shoot while kneeling, the gunmen in the second row immediately shoot while standing, and the gunmen in the third row and the gunmen in the second row alternately stand and shoot while standing.

As for salvo, three rows of musketeers fire at the same time, and then decide whether to fire in three volleys or in bursts according to the flag.

A tiger crouching gun or a Frang machine gun is equipped in the middle as a supplementary firepower.

On the school grounds, besides the musketeers who were practicing, there were mostly pikemen lined up neatly and slowly advancing.

Pikemen are the easiest unit to train, and also the fastest and easiest unit to form combat effectiveness.

On the school field, the sound of war drums was constantly echoing, and the pikemen lined up one round after another in a tight formation and walked on the school field.

A long gun was erected, like a forest of steel one after another.

The grandstand above the school grounds is built on the north side of the school grounds, and the place where the infantry battalion performs martial arts is directly opposite to the grandstands.

After receiving the news that he was going to be promoted to Hanzhong general, he put forward a plan to expand the army, and the school grounds of the Xixiang camp also began to expand to accommodate a large number of soldiers performing martial arts.

Originally, Chen Wang set up his camp three miles south of Xixiang City, but after expanding his army, he set up his camp in the wilderness eight miles east of Xixiang City.

Except for the musketeers, more than 48 infantrymen from the two battalions formed [-] formations, which were all deployed on the school field at this time.

Layer after layer of black pressure came, and a forest of guns composed of long spears slowly pressed down.

Looking around, there are dense spears in sight.

Looking up, the spear tip glowing with coldness is all in sight.

The sun was shining, the cold light was flickering, and the endless coldness jumped on the sharp tip of the spear, which brought huge psychological pressure to people.

As the distance approached, this oppressive feeling became more and more intense.

Standing on the stands, Chen Wang could feel the oppressive feeling, like a black cloud pressing down on the city.

Chen Wang glanced sideways at Yang Hong, the Commander of the Hanzhong Guard who was sitting beside him.

Yang Hong is fifty-two years old this year. He has gray temples and a rather broad body. He doesn't wear a helmet, but only wears a fish-scale armor with a deep red arrow jacket inside.

His Hanzhongwei commander was hereditary, and the shadow of his ancestors allowed him to enjoy glory and wealth.

As the commander of the inland guards, you don't need to worry about the Northern Cavalry, and you don't need to worry about Japanese pirates, you only need to deal with some bandits.

In the past few decades, the largest group of bandits that existed in Hanzhong Mansion only gathered a few hundred people.

When Yang Hong took the throne, it was the 46th year of Wanli, and it has been 17 years since then.

At that time, Yang Hong never imagined that after only 17 years, such a huge change would take place in this world.

The rogues rushed into the Hanzhong Mansion, and he only felt a great burden on his shoulders.

Years of peaceful life are simply not enough for him to support the situation.

If the imperial court had not appointed a guerrilla battalion, Hanzhong Mansion would have been lost in his hands.

Yang Hong sat on the seat and looked at the murderous battalion soldiers below the stage, his heart was awe-inspiring, and his hands and feet were cold.

He didn't notice Chen Wang's gaze, his attention was all distracted by the killing on the school grounds.

Seeing a group of soldiers performing martial arts on the school field, Yang Hong involuntarily turned his head to look at Chen Wang.

In the Battle of Hanzhong, he saw Chen Wang lead the troops into battle.

Although they were far away, Yang Hong only saw that Chen Wang's banner suddenly accelerated and moved forward a lot, and then tens of thousands of rogues collapsed.

Chen Wang looked at Yang Hong's expression, he knew that his purpose of inviting Yang Hong over had already been achieved.

"I've heard that General Chen is good at training troops, and I saw him today, and he is indeed at his peak."

With a smile on his face, Yang Hong didn't care that he was much older than Chen Wang. He kept his posture very low and said flatteringly.

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person with your hand. Yang Hong didn't put on airs. With this cooperation, Chen Wang naturally wouldn't trouble him, and said with a smile.

"Commander Yang is overrated. Chen's ability to train soldiers is much worse than that of Hong Junmen, Cao Shuai and He Shuai."

Chen Wang followed Yang Hong's words, and then changed the topic slightly.

"The battle of Hanzhong was won this time, thanks to the armored battle sent by Commander Yang last time, which relieved my urgent need."

"Actually, the soldiers in my battalion were all recruits recruited in August last year, and there are very few armored soldiers in the army."

Chen Wang cupped his fists, arched his hands to the right, and said.

"Being valued by the Hongjun sect enabled me to be promoted to guerrilla."

"The battle in Xi'an Mansion was urgent. When the camp was built, there were not many armored soldiers in our army, so we chased the bandits all the way into Hanzhong Mansion."

"This battle has damaged a lot of armor and soldiers. I also hope that Commander Yang can urge the craftsmen in Weizhong to pay more attention."

Yang Hong's eyes flickered. Although he didn't know how to fight, he was very well informed about the news.

It is reported that Chen Wang is likely to be promoted to a general in Hanzhong, and he will be stationed in Hanzhong to suppress bandits in the prime minister's mansion.

The stronger the army under Chen Wang's command, the more secure the safety of Hanzhong Mansion would be. If Hanzhong Mansion was safe, he would be able to secure his position as the commander of Hanzhong Guards.

The position of Commander of Hanzhongwei is a world position handed down from his ancestors. If he loses it in his hands, what face will he have to meet the ancestors under Jiuquan.

"General Chen sacrificed his life for the country, and his subordinates are brave enough to serve the country wholeheartedly. How dare we neglect it."

"Although Yang is old and frail, and his martial arts is not good enough to serve the country in battle, he can serve as a general's follow-up."

"General Chen, don't worry, Yang will definitely urge Wei Zhongjun's craftsmen to do their best to repair it."

Yang Hongyi spoke uprightly and said with emotion.

"In that case, I thank Commander Yang."

Chen Wang cupped his hands slightly as a thank you.

Yang Hong seems to be on the right track, and it seems that the implementation of the plan to control Han Zhongwei should not receive much hindrance.

After Chen Wang and Yang Hong had a brief conversation, they stopped talking.

His gaze then turned to the east.

The stands above the field are more than ten meters high, and they can see all the surroundings of the camp.

The east road winds straight to the sky, and the north and south are rolling mountains.

In the First Battle of Hanzhong, the bandits collapsed and Zhang Yuan was beheaded by him.

But Jin Chi Peng Lu Shi did not die, and he came to Lu Shi several times along the way, wanting to regroup.

Naturally, Chen Wang would not give Lu Shi this chance. The army that Lu Shi had reorganized several times was defeated by Chen Wang's cavalry.

Many of the escaped bandits and cavalry witnessed Chen Wangzhen's beheading of Zhang Yuan with their own eyes. Even if they didn't witness it with their own eyes, under the influence of the panic atmosphere, not many people dared to stay and fight.

After three days of continuous pursuit, all the way to the outside of Xixiang City, the pursuit was 150 miles, which is already considered an extremely terrifying pursuit distance.

If you don't pursue such a long distance, the result of the battle will definitely not be as great as it is now.

Those infantry and hungry soldiers were all thrown to the west of Xixiang City. It was impossible for them to escape to the east of Xixiang City at this time with only two legs.

The reason why Chen Wang chose to pursue such a long distance was to weaken the strength of the bandits as much as possible, so that Lu Shi could no longer gather those infantry and hungry soldiers, and then gather so many troops again.

In fact, Chen Wang's goal has also been achieved, and the risk paid is directly proportional to the benefit.

According to the latest news received, Lu Shi has only gathered less than three or four thousand cavalrymen and is fleeing towards Ziwu Town and Shiquan.

And when Lu Shi arrived at Ziwu Town and Shiquan, what he would face would be the closed city gates and town gates, as well as a crowd of militiamen and guards waiting in formation.

As early as in the pursuit, Chen Wang had already sent a fast horse along Chenggu, along the Hanshui River to the east, and set off from Yang County in the north of Xixiang County to Ziwu Town to issue an alarm.

Most of the people in those villages have been transferred in advance and gathered together.

Chen Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the last chase, Lu Shi led the elite cavalry soldiers gathered under his command to counterattack once, and then Chen Wang did not lead his troops to pursue Lu Shi again.

Although now he can definitely defeat Lu Shi's group after catching up with him, but the rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry. Lu Shi's last desperate fight should not be underestimated.

It is still useful to keep Lu Shi now, and when Lu is there, Chen Wang, a general in Hanzhong, is also more valuable.

Chen Wang was clear in his heart, he knew that if he wiped out Lu Shi in one go, then he would immediately go to kill Wang Cheng who was finally entrenched in Ziyang without stopping.

It's better to keep Lu now, and he can take a breath of relief for a while and take a little rest.

Moreover, these new recruits under his command will eventually see blood. It is undoubtedly a good choice to wait until the training is over and then take Lu Shi to practice.

Lu Shi now has only three or four thousand elite cavalry around him. After he fled to Ziwu Town and Shiquan, he should be able to gather some of the defeated soldiers who fled along the northern Chenggu County and Yang County and restore some strength.

　During this period of time, my mental state and body were not very good, and I kept going back and forth, and the update was unstable.

　　I personally feel that this chapter is a bit messy today. I will revise it a little when I wake up in the daytime tomorrow.

　　The quality has dropped a bit, sorry for that.
