Chapter 56
"List the guns first!"

"put!"

boom!Boom!

"Change row, raise gun!"

"put!"

boom!Boom!

Entering May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the garrison of Xinjiangqiao Kinki has gradually relaxed after more than a month of defense with no trace of the enemy, and it is no longer the exhaustion of the previous battle.

On the river, there are sergeants from the Manliu Battalion taking turns catching fish in the stream, and soldiers from the Cantonese Battalion on the bank are leisurely escaping the summer heat under the shade of trees.Of course, their biggest entertainment program in recent days is that the stupid birds at the shore guard practice the banner military orders that they have been proficient in when they first joined the army.

Chen Junye is an autocratic person. He turned a deaf ear to these ridicules, and he also asked his soldiers to turn a deaf ear to them. After 60 supplements in Beishan, the general flags were filled and more than [-] recruited Xiangyong. A total of [-] people practiced the formation flag order all day long Jun Ding was miserable.

Fortunately, they are used to it.

If it weren't for the officers of the guard station who were born with great dignity to the military households and Xiangyong watched Chen Mu and others defeat the rebellious army in Xinjiang Town, it would be difficult for Chen Mu to practice the banner army strictly for a long time under such circumstances.The implementation of orders is not a problem, but the battalion soldiers who are watching the excitement are the big problem.

It’s like freshman, they were tanned into black briquettes under the sun for military training, and the seniors and sisters were holding a big watermelon under the shade of a tree next to them, and their mouths were full of red, just pointing at you, the watermelon is so cold!
Execution is related to interests and incentives. The Banner Army can't see the benefits brought to them by practicing military orders, but can only see the distress in front of them. In order to let them accept the drill willingly, Chen Mu almost broke his mouth. It's been said a hundred times like "sweat more in normal times and bleed less in wartime", but expecting the flag army to understand this sentence is just a dream.

It's fine to scare the new recruits, this group of reckless men who don't understand military orders followed Chen Mu to hone their skills under special passwords and drills, and killed heads that could hang on their waists. If you don't learn this stuff, you will bleed less during the war!

But Chen Mu saw the benefits, so he was driven by huge execution power, and the Qi army could only endure the ridicule patiently.

Because simple, unified military orders really work.

The Banner Army obeyed orders, and Qi Zhengyan took Chen Mu's blunderbuss and stuffed them into the blunderbuss team, making up four groups of blunderbusses in groups of three. Continuous suppression shooting in the form of changing guns.At the same time, a larger number of crossbowmen under their command obeyed the same order and fired intermittent volleys with longbows.It's just that this time Chen Mu changed the regular formation.

Spears and knives crouch in front of the formation, and use wooden shields and spears to resist the nearby enemies. Longbowmen stand in the center in three rows, and two groups of bird gunners on each side form a cross-shooting net.

This is not a regular battle formation, but a special formation with Xinjiang Bridge as the predetermined battlefield. On the basis of ensuring that the longbowmen can suppress the enemy's charge, the bird guns form a lethal shooting circle that will not miss the bullet.

As for other formations, it is not something that can be formed quickly by cramming, and Chen Mu has no other extravagant hopes-survive this battle first!
In the first ten days of May, Bai Yuanjie's face showed joy, and he found Chen Mu with a smile on the bank of the military training river, looked at it from a distance, and then stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's only one month, and there are already elite soldiers. There is a happy event in Qingyuan, follow me come over."

Is there a happy event in Qingyuan?
Chen Mu frowned and thought hard, walked away a few steps to a remote place and asked Bai Yuanjie, "Shao Mangzi's wife is going to give birth to him again?"

"Tch, a military household suffers from hardship and poverty, so what kind of joy is it to have a cub... Well, I'm living a good life with your military household, that's not it. You asked Bai to do something earlier, and Tan Zili went north, just the day before yesterday." Bai Yuanjie was rarely seen. Putting it off, he said, "That telescope."

Chen Mu widened his eyes and slapped his head. He worried about Li Yayuan's attack all the time when he was stationed in Xinjiang Town in Shaozhou Mansion. He had long forgotten about sending the telescope. At this moment, he was excited to hear Bai Yuanjie talk about it. Hastily asked: "The telescope, Guan Jiang can make it, and Qian Hu can send it out?"

"Don't worry, if you don't send it out, is it still a happy event? He went north to Shaozhou Prefecture, and the road was impassable, and he happened to pass by Qingyuanwei. When he was resting, Bai Qi sent the mirror in and mentioned Bai's name." Bai Yuanjie paused again, then He laughed loudly and said, "Of course I didn't forget to say that you made the telescope for him to go north to Yushouji Town! If you were in Qingyuan, Tan Zili would like to make a special trip to meet you."

"It's not easy for you to meet the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. You can't even bribe thousands of taels of silver. It's a great blessing. Your telescope is very suitable for you." Bai Yuanjie smiled, and then asked a little unusually: "Tan Zili went north to Ji Town , You said to send binoculars to help him guard against the barbarians, this is beneficial to the country and the people Bai knows, but where is the self-interest you said?"

Where is the self-interest?

Chen Mu didn't know either. He couldn't tell Bai Yuanjie that Qi Jiguang, Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng were on the same line. In a few years, Zhang Juzheng would be the chief assistant of the cabinet of God, right?

He could only smile and said, "Isn't it a great thing to know a high-ranking civil servant?"

Bai Yuanjie looked at Chen Mu, didn't think too much about the prevaricated answer, and said with a smile, "In March or May, you can write a letter to Tan Zili. If the telescope works, he should remember you."

Chen Mu smiled casually, writing letters every six months, Tan Lun may not really remember him, the unknown person who offered the telescope.His hope is nothing more than that when Tan Lun, who is in a high position, can remember that he has helped him once in the future, when he can be expected to be equal to him one day.

Chen Zongqi will not always be Chen Zongqi, he will not always be an unknown person, and kindness is only when his status is equal to or slightly worse than that, it is kindness, otherwise it is a tribute, and Tribute - just a matter of course.

Yu Dayou received Deng Zilong's request for help, but instead of allocating cannons from the main force of the army, he dismantled three cannons from Guangdong Navy warships and transported them to Xinjiang Town, Shaozhou Prefecture for a long distance. More than a month later, if Li Yayuan had already attacked Xinjiang Town, these artillery pieces would be sent directly to the main formation of the army.

Two Franco cannons of the same shape and a copper cannon were pushed onto the bridgehead of Xinjiang Town. Together with the original two Francophones, it looked extremely majestic.

The launcher is larger than their small Francois machine gun and requires more gunpowder. The low-slung gun mount with four wheels weighs nearly a thousand catties, and it fires four catties of projectiles. It is a front-loading smoothbore gun. The North Korean imitation of the British version of the falcon cannon, which is a transliteration of falcon, and the Western system is a five-pound cannon, with a range of four to five miles.

However, this kind of range is not used at all on the battlefield of Xinjiang Town, and even in Lingnan, which is surrounded by mountains and mountains, there are not many preset battlefields that can fully satisfy the firing range of the gun.

Waiting tediously and torturously until the end of May, a sergeant from the Manliu Battalion in the east of Xinjiang sailed straight, shouting: "The enemy is attacking!"

Li Yayuan, here we come!

Note:
In the Warring States period of Japan, Oda’s three-stage strike method was to change the gun without changing the person, and the most accurate gunner was the shooter; the Ming army’s three-stage strike was to change the gun.

It was first used in the 14th year of Hongwu (1381) by Mu Ying, a general in the early Ming Dynasty, when he attacked the Yunnan elephant soldiers. He used firecrackers to shoot the target soldiers continuously to cause panic and make the enemy elephants rush back to the main formation.

The Mu family's world town in Yunnan is the Mu Palace in Jin Yong's novels.

　I'm really sorry, it's too late to go home.
