Chapter 7 Queues
For three consecutive days after that, during the day, all the military households under the banner took their families to cultivate the fields, while Chen Mu ran around the field ridges and lifted stone locks to exercise. Make a knife.In the evening when the sun had the intention of descending, he set up a wooden sign fifty paces away, holding a bird gun and hitting more than ten pieces an hour.

However, once the novelty of the gun is gone, the slow loading and rate of fire make people feel very boring. It is only with a deep breath in my heart that I hope that the firearm will save my life before I can patiently fight for a while.However, most of the stuffing of the medicine was left to Wei Balang who was beside him, and Chen Mu just aimed and pulled the trigger.

Fortunately, some of the medicines of the hundred households were kept, and there were not many people to use them because the guns were easy to explode. Bai Yuanjie gave him hundreds of medicines with a single sentence, which was enough for him to use for a while.Using the firearm proficiently, Chen Mu discovered that the firearm was not what he thought at all. If he saw a single robber in the countryside, he could win with a firearm in his hand; but the ancient wars were not always fought by thousands People, at that time, such a slow-firing firearm might not be of much use, it was nothing more than a stronger killing ability than a bow and crossbow.

The blunderbuss is a very good weapon. Although it is not as good as Chen Mu imagined, its unparalleled lethality at a distance of thirty or fifty steps is undeniable.As for the lack of speed of fire, Chen Mu has already made up his mind. Whether he buys it in the future or asks for it in the guard, he must wear three bird guns, and two people are always ready to load him with ammunition.

Practicing archery can save one's life. In this dangerous era, one will not be powerless. Doing one's best to ensure one's own safety is Chen Mu's top priority.

Besides, this is the only thing that can concern him right now. His duty is not so much as a military officer but as a field official. Even if he is ordered by Bai Yuanjie to go to military drills, he can't make any insightful moves.Only after he had a little connection with 'soldier training' in this era did he realize how nonsense it would be for the protagonist in modern novels to travel back to ancient times after hundreds of years...Use the queue of military training to train soldiers and train a group of elite soldiers?
Sorry, when Shao Tingda asked Chen Mu what to practice, Chen Mu patted his head and said the practice queue, and then a group of old, weak and disabled stood in the queue very quickly under the leadership of Shao Tingda, who was as strong as a bull. Ask Chen Xiaoqi to clarify one thing, "You guys, will you stand in line?"

"Brother Mu was joking, we military households don't know anything else, not farming and queues?" Shao Tingda grinned, before he was interrupted by Chen Mu raising his hand and saying: "Practice now, I am Seriously, your flag officer!"

At this time, Chen Mu also knew that he was making a joke. He belonged to this era. Chen Mu's intermittent memories told him that the formation is not a new thing that belongs to the twentieth century. The battle formation during the chariot battle, and the strategy in the Millennium War have been adapted to local conditions, but the essence of war has never changed.

"The formation is not for standing here, but for killing the enemy and protecting ourselves. Killing the enemy is to let the enemy fall on the road of attack; protecting ourselves is to help you and others to help each other in the battle." Chen Mu who said these words is not unnatural at all. Living in this era has made him understand many things that he did not understand and could not understand in the past. The difference between him and the ancients is not only that he knows new things that do not exist in this world, but also that His understanding of the old world far exceeds that of the contemporary Ming people. What he lacks is his understanding of the contemporary era, "We stand in two formations, you all remember, one is a formation, from low to high, Wei Balang is the first, Shao Tingda is the last one, stand still!"

"Yes, yes, just line up like this, everyone look at the back of the head in front, what does it look crooked, stand like me, stand up straight!"

Speaking of Xiaoqi, the six people stood up according to Chen Mu's idea. It's just that they were a little new at the beginning. Standing like Chen Mu can be learned after a while, but they still stand in a good shape.

"Remember this order, this standing posture, this is called a military posture, you will all remember it in the future, whenever soldiers and horses gather, you stand like this." Chen Mu said with a smile: "This kind of battle is not helpful for fighting, but Good-looking, energetic, not like a farmer. If you encounter an enemy, you have to change the battle formation. When Shao Ting reaches the front, you can wield a sword and be powerful, so you have to stand in front of the formation and block the rushing enemies for Paoze."

As he said that, Chen Mu asked Shao Tingda to stand in front, Chen Guan, who was missing three fingers, and the 58-year-old old man Zheng, who had lost all his teeth, stood with long poles on both sides, forming a small triangle formation. Chen Mu was naturally in the center, and behind him was Wei Balang, who loaded the gunpowder for him, is the youngest kid with a brain. If he really can't escape, he can let him run first. Chen Mu still likes Xiao Hachiro very much.On both sides of Chen Mu, the storyteller Shi Qi and another thief named Fu Yuan stood with bows and arrows.

A total of six bannermen plus Chen Mu, a small banner, formed a crude attack formation.

Needless to say, before Chen Mu thought that military training was not a good job, but when he really wanted to try it, he realized that it is really interesting to direct a few people to line up according to their own ideas.Of course... For a person like him who has no family background and no knowledge of the art of war, even if he has some future ideas in his head, the strength of the battle formation formed is worrying. effect.

The art of war is not to apply mechanically, but to adapt measures to local conditions.

Fortunately, Chen Mu didn't have the opportunity to command a large-scale war. It was nothing more than commanding his subordinates, and the purpose of defense was only for possible bandits on the way to Guangzhou Mansion, which was fine.

Let the strong men under his command write down the formation, and then Chen Mu was addicted to commanding the army for half an hour, and then sent them to the busy farming season, leaving Wei Balang to fill himself with sub-drugs, and practice his shooting accuracy one by one.It wasn't Chen Mu's 3-minute enthusiasm. He also knew that it was not such a simple matter to practice formations, but soldiers had to be trained and fields had to be plowed. Chen Xiaoqi only had six bannermen but had to plow twelve bannermen's land. It was not easy ?If he could make up for the banner posts and get four other bannermen with their families, it would be easy to say, let Yu Ding of their family go to farm, and he can take Zhengding to practice besides.

What now?Here he has six bannermen stand in line and practice bow and knife skills, but beside him there are big girls and young daughter-in-law who are watching and disturbing their minds, and the laughter is heard sentence by sentence, how can the bannermen calm down to practice? ?

There is no other way but to set aside an hour every day for a little practice, so that they can at least hold their ground in a critical situation.As for wanting to send them to the battlefield?Then it depends on Chen Mu's proper practice when he comes back from Guangzhou to defend the city.

When going to Guangzhou Mansion, whenever he thinks that he will go to Guangzhou Mansion with Bai Yuanjie, although Chen Mu is not as excited as Shao Tingda, he is not much less excited. He also wants to see the leading metropolis south of Wuling in Ming Dynasty!
