Wu Zheng listened and nodded, this is not surprising, Qi Daokun's iron fire thunder is afraid that it is too shoddy, and at the same time, it lacks fragments, or there are too few fragments, otherwise, even if the wild boar has thick skin and hard skin, as long as it explodes in a close place, the lethality of the fragments is still huge.

Qi Chenghao continued: "The method is still the method mentioned before, but the difference is that the grass people and Jie Di are in two opposite directions, after the grass people fire the first shot, they will quickly throw an iron fire mine in the direction of the wild boar, and then turn around and flee, the wild boar will often be startled by the loud sound of the iron fire thunder, or turn around and run around, or after a while, wait for the smoke to dissipate and continue to chase, and at this time Jie Di will shoot according to the grass people's method and throw the iron fire mine, the wild boar is very stupid, it is just fierce." ”

Wu Zheng and the others laughed when they heard this, this kid is indeed a little interesting.

Qi Chenghao said seriously: "What the prince is saying to the two generals, the grass people privately feel ...... Actually, it's not that hard. ”

Wu Zheng was indeed surprised, and said: "Say, say it boldly, it's okay to say it wrong." ”

Qi Chenghao said: "The prince's musketeers, whether they pay attention to cooperation or individual soldiers, meet cavalry, there is only one result, that is, losing." ”

Wu Zheng's face was a little worried, indeed, this sound unpleasant, but the truth is correct.

With infantry against cavalry, there is almost no suspense in the outcome.

Qi Chenghao is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he continued: "Since they are all losing, why bother with which one to focus on? According to the grass people, the prince naturally knows that the training is not to deal with cavalry, but to deal with infantry, right? ”

Wu Zheng's heart jumped when he heard this, and a flash of spiritual light flashed, but he couldn't catch it for a while, and he couldn't help frowning.

Qi Chenghao saw Wu Zheng frowning this time, he thought that Wu Zheng did not approve of his words, and hurriedly explained: "Just like what the grass people just said, if the enemy cavalry is compared to a wild boar, and there is a tree on the side, we will go up the tree, and if there is no tree, then we can escape, find a place to hide, such as an earthen wall, pothole, slope or something, and you can also use iron fire and thunder to blow it up, and then hit ......it with a fire gun when you have the slightest opportunity." ”

Wu Zheng's head "boomed", he suddenly opened, he got up, pointed at Qi Chenghao and laughed: "You kid really has a set, you have helped this king a lot." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

What Qi Chenghao means is that in the face of different enemies or in different environments, different methods to deal with different enemies, this is correct.

But in Wu Zheng's ears, it was more than that.

What Wu Zheng realized was, why should I use musketeers against cavalry?

The role of musketeers is to fight against enemy infantry, such as sword and shield men, pikemen, crossbowmen, etc.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one is stupid enough to beat the cavalry with infantry.

This is as absurd as the later generations of fighting an infantry regiment against an armored regiment.

To deal with an armored regiment, you can use the same armored regiment to meet it, or a helicopter group attack, or an artillery group.

To deal with the cavalry of the Qing army, it can also be covered with the same cavalry or artillery group, and it is a fallacy to hope that the musketeers will fight all kinds of tough battles in an all-round way.

Wu Zheng had a feeling of sudden realization, and the problem that had been bothering him was resolved.

In the past four years, because there is no weapons beyond the times, Wu Zheng has been thinking about how to deal with the cavalry of the Qing army, and after the previous cavalry battalion was destroyed, Wu Zheng has not been interested in forming a new cavalry battalion.

There is a shortage of war horses in the south, and once the cavalry is damaged, there is no way to replenish the war horses, which is the biggest reason for limiting Wu Zheng.

Rather than being controlled by others on the key equipment of war horses, it is better to go all out to form a firearms army, which is Wu Zheng's guiding ideology.

Therefore, Wu Zheng, who was now inadvertently awakened by Qi Chenghao, also directly erased the plan to reorganize the cavalry battalion.

Rather, it was decided that in the new musket army, it was equipped with field artillery battalions, engineer battalions.

Qi Chenghao is right, striking the enemy in the choice of battlefield terrain and movement is the strength of the infantry.

The cavalry's pickiness of the battlefield terrain also limited its comprehensiveness.

Wu Zheng fought in the first battle of Shining Town, with the inferior forces of Lianghuwei, relying on the terrain of Shining Street, and annihilated a thousand cavalry, which is a very classic example of infantry against cavalry.

Formed a formation outside the city of Danyang, combined with the city wall and the city gate, the upper and lower sides, and attacked the cavalry in three dimensions, although the battle losses were very large, but the same victory.

This made Wu Zheng completely clear his mind, the main imaginary enemy of the musketeers was not the enemy cavalry, but the enemy infantry.

Cavalry, which can be solved with the cooperation of infantry and artillery regiments.

Now the pre-loading artillery purchased from Western Europe is enough to deal with the cavalry of the Qing army, of course, the premise of this sufficient response is that it is used on a large scale, not like the Ming army's artillery, but only to assist the cold-weapon army.

For example, hundreds of artillery pieces (field artillery) were concentrated to cover the battlefield, and the shells purchased at the same time were no longer solid bullets used by the Ming army, but more like flowering shells, but the range and power were far better than those of the Ming army's happy bullets, and the military workshop was organizing imitations.

Just like the guns of the capital ship purchased this time, the bottom deck is 32 pounds (about 30 pounds), the middle deck is 24 pounds, and the upper deck is 18 pounds (pounds refer to the net weight of the projectile). On the bow and stern decks, there are auxiliary guns, which are twelve-pounder guns.

Although the shape of the shell is still spherical, the middle of the shell has been filled with gunpowder with a delay fuse.

The cost of this shell is even lower than that of the Ming army's flowering shells, but its power and range are far superior to flowering shells.

On this night, Wu Zheng made many arrangements and decisions, among which the most influential on the battlefield in the future was the decision to reform the military system.

……。

On this day, when Wu Zheng took Chi Erhan and the other four to the playground of the military academy, Fang Guoan had already gathered the remaining fifty people he picked and waited there, this is the southwest corner of the martial arts arena, and then the west is the wall.

Seeing Wu Zheng coming, Fang Guoan stretched out his hand and introduced to the soldiers: "This is ....... ”

Wu Zheng interrupted: "No need. ”

Then he gave a standard military salute to Fang Guoan and said, "I'm tired of Lord Fang, let's hand it over to the lower officials." ”

Fang Guoan's eyes flashed, he looked at Chi Erhan, Song An and the Qi family behind Wu Zheng, and said strangely: "Lord Wu, are these two counted among the fifty people?" ”

Wu Zheng replied: "No. ”

"That's good." Fang Guoan nodded with satisfaction, "Then these fifty people will be handed over to General Wu?!" ”

"Yes."
