Ning Xiu paused and said, "It's best to equip the bird gun." In this way, you go and tell Zhao Guangning, and use his connections to help me hire more Franc machine craftsmen, the price is negotiable. ”

In Ning Xiu's time, the way to quickly intervene in an industry was very simple, and that was to merge.

It's the same with Daming. Daming belongs to the period of alternating hot and cold weapons, and there is still a lot of work to be done in order to make the soldiers accept firearms in their hearts.

I have to admit that the Franc machine man is one step ahead of the Ming Dynasty in the manufacture and use of firearms. At this point, it is true that foreign monks will recite sutras.

If there are shortcuts, why go for the near and far?

"Subordinates obey!"

Qi Wen responded with a fist.

"Besides, I'm going to build a batch of Rummy guns, you can help me inquire. See if there are any craftsmen who can make near Xiangshan County. ”

The range of the Lumi gun is longer than that of the bird gun, and the lethality is stronger, which can be described as a big killer weapon in the fire.

But it also has a drawback, which is that the barrel is too long.

The barrel of the bird is already very long, and the pipe of the Lumi gun is longer than that of the bird.

Since the firearms of this era were breech guns, which needed to be loaded from the front, it would be difficult to reload the guns if they were too long.

So the soldiers will certainly not be too willing to use this kind of reluctance.

However, none of this was a problem in Ning Xiu's opinion.

What he wants to train is not the old army of the Ming Dynasty, but the new army.

Soldiers must be familiar with the use of all kinds of guns and artillery, and must not have any fear.

Of course, Ning Xiu will also do his best to ensure the quality of firearms, and will never allow the explosion of the chamber to occur and endanger the lives of soldiers.

"If the subordinates know, the subordinates will call someone to inquire."

"The queue training is almost complete, and you can join the array training."

Ning Xiu took out a drawn drawing and pointed it out to Qi Wen.

"Start with the circle and the square. These two formations are the easiest. ”

Qi Wen's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw the drawings drawn by Ning Xiu.

Qi Shuai emphasized formations and firearms when he was training, and the same was true for Lord Ning, who was worthy of being Qi Shuai's son-in-law.

"My lord, my subordinates don't know if they should say something or not."

Qi Wen said cautiously.

Ning Xiu waved his hand and said, "Tell me about it." ”

Ning Xiu himself was not proficient in the art of war formation, so he naturally had to listen to the opinions of professionals. Besides, he didn't want to make a fuss.

"My lord, I think that these two formations are defensive formations, why don't you join the attack formation and train together?"

Ning Xiu smiled and said, "No, no, this phalanx can be either an offensive formation or a defensive formation. ”

Qi Wen was puzzled: "But Qi Shuai did define the phalanx as a defensive formation at that time." ”

"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent." Ning Xiu dropped the bookbag and said, "This phalanx of mine is not the same as other people's. I'm going to equip all the soldiers in the phalanx with pikemen. ”

"Shhh Qi Wen gasped when he heard this.

It's all pikemen, that's an exaggeration.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is a little..."

"Look." Ning Xiu picked up the pen and sketched on the drawing.

"The advantage of the spear array is the array propulsion." Ning Xiu drew an arrow and pointed forward.

"Let's say there's a cavalry in front of this. They are rushing towards our army. If it was an ordinary infantry formation, it would have broken up a long time ago. ”

Qi Wen nodded. The infantry had little chance of winning against the cavalry. In all dynasties, only the Mo Sword Formation of the Tang Dynasty could restrain the cavalry. That was also on the premise of having two wings of cavalry to respond.

"But the pikes won't. The horses rushed over and were confronted by an iron wall of spears. We pointed our spears forward at forty-five degrees..."

Qi Wen's military talent was not bad, and he immediately understood what Ning Xiu meant, and his eyes flashed with scorching brilliance.

"Your Excellency's idea is really good. Horses are brutes, and brutes have instincts..."

If the horse is afraid, the horse will stumble, and the cavalry formation itself will be in a panic.

The two armies are fighting to see who makes the fewest mistakes. Whoever makes fewer mistakes will win.

The mobility of the infantry is certainly inferior to that of the cavalry, which determines that it is a passive side.

Fighting in the wilderness, even if the infantry outwits the cavalry, it is difficult to pursue.

Therefore, Ning Xiu's spear formation also has combat conditions. That is, to cooperate with trenches, earthen walls, and barbed wire.

With these assistances, the mobility of the cavalry will be greatly reduced, and as long as the spear formation effectively kills the cavalry, the cavalry formation will have a domino effect and a large-scale rout.

And once the cavalry rout is more terrible than the infantry rout, the frightened horse will trample the fallen companions into flesh, and the scene will be completely out of control.

"However, it requires the determination of the pikemen and the same pace."

Ning Xiu added: "That's why I let them practice only two movements: stabbing and receiving, when they practice spears. When you stab, you will resolutely stab, and when you receive, you will resolutely receive. ”

In fact, the spear has many other actions such as blocking. But Ning Xiu didn't want the soldiers to learn these techniques.

Because his spear formation has a special mission, the soldiers can only move forward and not retreat. As soon as they had the idea of retreating, the spear array collapsed.

In other words, this is a life-fighting formation, and when the two armies meet, the brave wins, and the comparison is a boldness.

"How long do you think it will take for a soldier to develop this kind of momentum?"

Qi Wen was silent.

It stands to reason that the veterans of the Qi family army can do this, but that is the result of several years of training.

Not to mention how these recruits are compared to the veterans of the Qi family's army, the training time alone cannot be compared.

"My subordinates thought it would take at least a year."

Qi Wen finally spoke.

Ning Xiu nodded.

"I also think it's going to be at least a year."

In fact, the basic movements of stabbing can be mastered in a month. However, Ning Xiu believed that if the spear formation was to take shape, the most important thing was to cultivate trust among the soldiers.

After all, on the battlefield, you need to give your life to Paoze.

In this way, one year is the minimum.

"I can afford to wait a year."

The last thing Ning Xiu lacks now is time. If he was in the late Ming Dynasty now, he would definitely not have that much time.

But now it is the early year of Wanli, there is still a period of time before the three major expeditions, and it is nearly forty years before the battle of Salhu. Not to mention a year, ten years of military training time, Ning Xiu can afford to wait.

"I'll leave the matter of the spear array to you."

Ning Xiu stepped forward and patted Qi Wen on the shoulder, and the moved Qi Wen was excited.

"In addition, these recruits must be seen in blood at the appropriate time."

Blind training will not allow a recruit to grow into a veteran.

The best way for them to grow into veterans is to kill for blood.

Ning Xiu decided to take a crackdown on bandits and exterminate the bandits half a year later, and first took a small group of pirate bandits.

After all, he nominally formed a regiment to train village soldiers, and it was also his duty to suppress bandits and destroy the Kou and protect the territory and the people.
