Everyone in the hall began to go to the Million-Cang Great Sect Field, and there was a sound of horses' hooves, and dozens of horsemen rolled into the gate of the Tianwu Army's camp.

The war drums beat, the whole division of the second division of the Tianwu Army will exercise, in less than a quarter of an hour, the field of the Great Sect quickly gathered 20,000 horses, all of them stood solemnly, flashing the dark light of armor everywhere in the sun, and a solemn aura swept in.

"People are silent, horses are silent, they are silent, what a good soldier!" Mao Yuanyi couldn't help but exclaim.

At present, there are almost no troops in the entire Ming Dynasty that can complete the assembly within a quarter of an hour, and the Tianwu army can complete the assembly within a quarter of an hour in the three drums, which is enough to show that it is well-trained and strict in military discipline in peacetime.

On the platform, Zhu Cihong faced the whole army, Sun Yingyuan walked in front of Zhu Cihong, and the two sides knelt down on one knee with their fists clasped and said: "The last general will lead the whole army of the second division of the Tianwu Army to meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The 20,000 Heavenly Martial Army saw the main general on the stage bow down, everyone moved in unison, the armor sounded in unison, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the whole army suddenly sounded a strong voice: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Ten thousand people shouted in unison, earth-shattering, Mao Yuanyi's shocked forehead was slightly cold sweat, and all the generals of the Tianwu Army saw this, and they all smiled secretly in their hearts, which was very comfortable.

"Up!" Zhu Cihong helped Sun Yingyuan up, and the 20,000 army immediately stood up.

Zhu Cihong pointed to the army, and said to Mao Yuanyi: "What do you think of the appearance of the Tianwu Army?" ”

Mao Yuanyi saw that tens of thousands of soldiers in heavy armor were standing straight, like a lined pile, and it was a straight line from where it looked, he was shocked in his heart, and he still had the previous arrogant posture, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness governs the army in a good way, such a military appearance, the last general has never seen it when he was in the border army, it is really a strong army!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled when he heard this, and secretly asked you to pretend to be forced in front of me, are you comfortable now? I've seen it for a long time!

Some of the generals of the Tianwu Army looked at Mao Yuanyi with a little more disdain, but Mao Yuanyi looked as if nothing had happened, and had been observing the military appearance of the Tianwu Army attentively, and there was a faint excitement on his face that could not be concealed.

Then, the Tianwu Army rehearsed the formation according to the previous drill training method, the Tianwu Army had two exercises a day, and all kinds of training had already been ripe, and the Tianwu Army wearing heavy armor was very powerful in various formations, with heavy feet and sonorous behaviors, smoke and dust, and people were boiling with blood.

Mao Yuanyi nodded straight at it, and secretly said that this is the division of the tiger and wolf, and he patiently watched the drills of the Tianwu Army.

After the drill, Zhu Cihong said: "Mao Yuanyi, do you still have the confidence to increase the combat effectiveness of the Tianwu Army by at least fifty percent?" ”

Mao Yuanyi said without hesitation: "Yes!" ”

It turned out that the generals of the Tianwu Army, who were full of disdain, became a little surprised, what kind of way is this madman, he is still so confident after he has arrived here?

Zhu Cihong also frowned, and said, "How to improve?" ”

Mao Yuanyi said seriously: "The method of the military formation!" ”

Zhu Cihong groaned: "Formation? How long does it take? ”

Mao Yuanyi suddenly smiled and said: "Before the last general saw the Tianwu Army, he calculated that it would take at least half a month, and today he will see the appearance of the Tianwu Army, three days is enough!" ”

"Good! The palace will give you three days, and Sun Yingyuan will listen to the order! ”

"The last general!" Sun Yingyuan responded.

Zhu Cihong said solemnly: "Take Mao Yuanyi to select a thousand in your army for him to train for three days, during these three days, the selected sergeants must obey Mao Yuanyi's orders, and violators will be dealt with according to military law!" You can also choose a thousand people yourself, and in three days, the Great Sect will perform a martial arts battle! ”

"Yes!"

Mao Yuanyi was very excited in her heart, she finally had the opportunity to show her talents!

Three days later, the million-cang-big teaching field.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tianwu Army gathered around, watching the battle together, and even Huang Degong, who had just returned to Zhongdu, also came, Huang Degong wanted to find trouble with Mao Yuanyi as soon as he came back, but was persuaded by Zhu Cihong and asked him to wait for the martial arts battle to be talked about.

The soldiers on both sides had already left the battle, they were all armed, all the medicine of the musket had been changed to colored paper balls, the bayonet in front of the musket had been replaced with wood, and the front was helped with a cloth ball, which was covered with lime.

Sun Yingyuan did not go down in person, and let Li Shaoyou, the commander of the First Brigade, serve as the commander and fight against him.

The 1,000 soldiers trained by Mao Yuanyi were wearing black leather armor and wearing iron masks, and the 1,000 soldiers trained by Li Shaoyou were wearing silver and white leather armor and iron masks, and they were lined up at both ends of the Great Sect Field, waiting for orders.

Without too much nonsense, Zhu Cihong directly ordered: "Beat the drums, fight!" ”

The drums of war beat, the two sides began to arrange their troops, Li Shaoyou lined up in four rows according to the usual combat method of the Tianwu Army, and prepared to fire in four rows.

Mao Yuanyi's queue was the first row of shield soldiers, and the last three rows were musketeers.

Both sides were in a tight four-row rectangular formation, constantly advancing slowly, and at a distance of eighty paces, Li Shaoyou gave the order to shoot, but after the first volley, the muskets were useless against the shields.

The shields were made of a thin layer of wood, and the paper projectiles began to move the shields, but after several volleys, the wooden shields began to crack open, and several soldiers had already been hit by the color-stained projectiles.

According to the rules of the exercise, as long as the soldier who was hit by the projectile fell down consciously, he was counted as killed, and Lai Pi was punished with 30 military sticks, and a major demerit was recorded.

Although there were some losses at the beginning, Mao Yuanyi's thousand-man array was still advancing, and when the distance between the two sides was fifty paces, he still did not remove his shield to counterattack.

Li Shaoyou was a little anxious, and fired five or six rounds of volleys, and although the opponent's shield soldiers were opened for a while, they still didn't cause much damage to them.

After Mao Yuanyi entered forty steps, he suddenly ordered the shield soldiers to squat half-way, put the shield on the ground, and conduct three rows of rounds of fire behind him.

Mao Yuanyi wrote in his "Wubei Zhi" that the fire gun is not terrible, but he is afraid of the fire gun and the shield, and at this time he made full use of the combined advantages of the shield and the fire gun.

Soon, after several rounds of shooting, Li Shaoyou was obviously defeated, and his soldiers fell down in rows and "died", and half of the 1,000 musketeers were reimbursed.

Most of the projectiles shot by Li Shaoyou's troops at Mao Yuanyi were blocked by shields, and Mao Yuanyi's losses were limited.

After a quarter of an hour of fighting, almost all of Li Shaoyou's 1,000 people were "killed", while Mao Yuanyi's 1,000 people only lost less than half.

Mao Yuanyi has a deep understanding of the tactics of the Tianwu Army, and has come up with many tactics to restrain the Tianwu Army.

If he practiced martial arts according to the combination of infantry, cavalry, and artillery of the Tianwu Army, his shield technique would be defeated by the artillery of the Tianwu Army at the first time, and it would not be able to form protection at all, which had been proved when the Yongwei Battalion dealt with the Qing Army's Yanguli Division.

Mao Yuanyi firmly believes that all laws change, there is no eternal and undefeated tactic, as long as it is a tactic, there is a way to crack it.
