"There is a degree of advance and retreat, urgency but not chaos, worthy of the emperor's pro-army!" On the school ground, Qi Jiguang looked at the columns of Shenji Battalion soldiers who were practicing, and couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

"Hehe, of course!" Cui Yong's face was a little proud, these are all his own soldiers! Now he is praised by Qi Jiguang, a great expert in military training, and he has face.

"But Lord Cui, this is just an ordinary time, but I don't know if the soldiers of my Shenji Battalion can do this on the battlefield!" Qi Jiguang is upright, since he let himself train the army, he can't hide it.

Cui Yong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "What Lord Qi said is very true, I won't tell you, this Shenji battalion relies on firearms, and rarely encounters the enemy in close quarters when fighting, so it is really not as good as the three thousand battalions when it comes to charging into battle, but you and I both know that it is impossible to avoid the enemy on the battlefield in close combat, and this official has been worrying about this matter!" ”

Seeing Qi Jiguang nodding in agreement with his statement, Cui Yong said again: "The world has been quite peaceful these years, and the three major battalions of Jingwei rarely have the opportunity to fight. Although the official often thinks about finding an opportunity for them to go to the battlefield to see and exercise, but unfortunately they have been suffering from no chance, at the beginning of the year, they sent the men and horses of the right post to go south to Guangxi with the old man to clean up the Annan people, but the effect was not good, they only fired a few shots, and the scenery was still robbed by the 3,000 battalions! ”

"Hehe, training is expensive and lasting, if you want to be able to train it in just one or two battles, it's impossible!" Qi Jiguang shook his head with a smile.

"That's right, if today, that is, the northern frontier is often harassed by the Mongol Tartars, and there are mostly small wars, the Shenji Battalion is the emperor's pro-army, and it is not easy to leave Beijing City, unless someone in the capital is ordered to go to supervise the army, so many years have passed, and my Shenji Battalion has not experienced a few wars!" Cui Yong said, suddenly remembered Shen Chongming, and said with a smile: "But Lord Qi, you haven't seen the people of Zuo Sentinel, you have been tossed by Shen Chongming for more than a month, and I have observed them a few days ago, but I found that they have grown a lot!" ”

"Lord Shen's left whistle!" When Cui Yong said this, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but think of what he saw in front of the camp gate yesterday, didn't they go hunting?

"Lord Qi, there's nothing to do today, let's go out of the camp together to see the training of Zuo Sentinel!" Cui Yong didn't notice that Qi Jiguang was wrong, and proposed with a smile: "Okay, then trouble Master Cui!" ”

Thirty miles north of the city, the weeds are nearly a foot high, the hills that rise and fall one after another can be seen everywhere the soldiers of the Shenji battalion chasing the prey, a few gunshots rang out from time to time in the cold wind, whether to find the prey or not, the knight who put the gun must hold the reins of the horse and dismount to extinguish the fire, if you hesitate for a moment and a half, it must be a fire peerless merry fairy hand.

"Keep an eye on it, you must not miss the fire!" Shen Chongming appointed himself the leader of the fire alarm squadron, and with nearly 100 people, he was cruising on the hunting ground, ready to extinguish the fire.

It is not easy to train troops in winter, especially the Shenji Battalion, which specializes in firearms, which may cause a fire at any time, and then this training 'hunting ground' that is hard to find will disappear.

"Your Excellency, Lord Admiral and Lord Tongzhi are here!" Wei Daqing rushed to report on his horse, and as soon as he heard this, Shen Chongming greeted him after a few words.

"Two adults, look at how my left sentry brother's riding skills are!" With a few polite words, Shen Chongming couldn't help but show off his training results, for such a long time, the 1,000 men and horses of Zuo Sentry have improved a lot in all aspects. Although these words were asked to the two of them, Shen Chongming's eyes kept looking at Qi Jiguang, hoping that he could praise a few words and make some suggestions, after all, he was just groping, and there must be many deficiencies.

"Lord Shen, you are really hunting!" Seeing that someone rode back with a prey from time to time, Qi Jiguang couldn't help frowning, this is military training, it is definitely hunting.

"Hehe, my lord misunderstood, this is not hunting, it is the subordinate who asked his brothers to exercise their ability to shoot on horseback, these prey are live targets, not only trained soldiers, but also did not waste ammunition in vain, absolutely killing two birds with one stone!" Shen Chongming was very proud of the method he had come up with.

"Use your prey as a target!" Qi Jiguang muttered, staring at a few soldiers galloping on horseback, wanting to see how they hunted their prey.

"Lord Qi, use this!" Shen Chongming smiled and handed over the clairvoyance in his hand, this was specially stolen from the old man's house, the old man regarded this thing as a treasure, and he didn't give it to him after asking for it several times, so he had no choice but to steal it.

This clairvoyant Qi Jiguang has seen it, but this thing is too precious, he doesn't have it personally, and now looking at Shen Chongming's suppression of this thing, he can't help but sigh in his heart, this divine machine camp is really rich enough.

With clairvoyance, you can see clearly, the hare that was chased by several soldiers also appeared in sight, and the figures of several soldiers can also be seen clearly, only to see their legs clamped between the horse's belly, and their two hands holding a fire gun to speed forward, regardless of marksmanship, this horse skill is not bad.

There was a loud bang, and a ball of sparks erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and the hare, which had been running frantically on the ground, flipped over a few times in a row and remained motionless.

Although Shen Chongming couldn't see the specific situation, he knew that one shot was done as soon as he saw that several soldiers had all stopped: "Lord Qi, what do you think of the marksmanship of the brothers under the lower officials!" ”

"Well, yes, the war horse is swaying, but it is very rare to be able to ride on it and hit a small hare with one shot!" Qi Jiguang said with a smile, looking at Shen Chongming's eyes was different from just now, this use hunting to train soldiers is really insightful, not only practiced equestrianism, but also improved a lot of marksmanship, and better is that ammunition is not wasted, and after a day of hard training, you can also have game to accompany your meal, it is really a triple win, no wonder these soldiers are full of strength?

"Xia Guan also thinks so, but hunting is different from the battlefield after all, if you go to the battlefield one day, such a scattered team will not work, I have long heard that Lord Qi is a formation everyone, you have to mention Xia Guan if you have time!" Shen Chongming is not greedy enough, and is determined to create a trump card powerhouse, so that he must win the strengths of hundreds of schools.

"Hehe, Lord Shen has a good reputation, this official has always led the infantry army, and he has no research on this cavalry, but there are hundreds of laws in common, let's talk about it together when we have time!" Qi Jiguang led the guards, and he was on the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the thousands of men and horses under his command were infantry troops, and he was not very good at the formation of this horse army, but since he hoped to rush to the north to train soldiers and horses, the formation of this cavalry must be taken into account, and it happened to be studied in advance in the Shenji Battalion.

"Okay, then tonight the next official will go to you to take charge of the crimson official career!" Shen Chongming is very anxious about the training of soldiers, and he has an even bigger plan, but the time is not yet ripe, as long as the conditions allow, he will immediately go back to the city to find his husband to help promote this matter.

Seeing that the two of them were talking so happily, but they put themselves, the Admiral, aside, Cui Yong couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "I said two, but the official is also a veteran in the army, although he doesn't have any clever opinions on this military training, he is also well-informed!" If you want to talk about cavalry, it's even more expert! ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials have forgotten you, my lord, do you see how the thousand men and horses of the lower officials are worse than the Mongolian cavalry?" Threesome, the other two are my masters, and Shen Chongming has always positioned himself as a student in the matter of military training.

finally received attention, Cui Yong immediately held his chin and pretended to think, otherwise he would not be able to show his ability.

"Well, although your 1,000 men and horses seem to have improved a lot in horsemanship, the gap is still not small compared to the cavalry of the Mongolian Tartars, and even compared to the elite of the border army, although the soldiers can ride on the horses without holding the reins of their horses, but the marching speed is significantly reduced, and the duration is relatively short, which is a shortcoming!" Cui Yong is experienced, and he fired the deficiencies at a glance.

"Hehe, my lord is right, but the lower officials think that this is a small shortcoming, and when the time comes, with the firearms in the hands of the generals, this can be completely remedied!" Shen Chongming disagreed, after all, the conditions were limited, and it was not easy for the brothers to have such riding skills as they did today.

"Wrong, worship the name, for the general, you must always remember a sentence, any shortcoming on the battlefield is fatal, just take your thousand men and horses! Although there is the advantage of firearms, but once the speed is a lot, it is very likely to be entangled by Mongolian soldiers with superb horsemanship, and the power of firearms in close combat cannot be exerted at all, and you must know the fate at that time! "Cui Yong is a rare seriousness.

The reason is very simple, Shen Chongming is not the kind of person who is stubborn, he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your teachings, and please tell me how to train next!" ”

"This is also simple, now the soldiers can't let go, because of the alienation with each other's mounts, from now on their own horses to feed themselves, and when is the time to make friends with horses, then send and receive freely!" Cui Yong's face was a little proud, this was his secret trick, which he obtained by interrogating several Mongolian prisoners of war.

"Make friends with horses, hehe, this is a good idea, everything has spirituality, if you really make friends with the war horse, the master's intentions war horse must be able to understand, thank you for your advice!" Shen Chongming understood it at once, and immediately understood the truth.

"Well, this is a secret of my Divine Machine Battalion, I must not tell your friends of the 3,000 Battalion, remember?" Cui Yong is a very selfish person at this point, and he is bent on stabilizing the head of the 3,000 battalion in all aspects.

Night.

"My lord, although the war horse is psychic, it is not as good as us after all, and it is not easy to make the formation not chaotic when fighting!" Discussion for half a day. Although he thinks that the several formations listed by Qi Jiguang are good, it is not easy for the cavalry to do these things.

"Yes! The advantages and disadvantages of war horses are different, some are fast and some are slow, so it is impossible to keep the cavalry in formation at all times, but the cavalry is mainly used for attacking, and when retreating, you don't need to consider the formation by relying on the advantage of speed, and in the ancient art of war, the commonly used cavalry formation is the car suspension formation, this formation has a great similarity with the unique three-stage attack of the Shenji Battalion, so you can use this formation! Qi Jiguang said as he picked up the pen and drew a schematic diagram on the rice paper on the table, an ink dot representing a horseman, which was very separated from each other in a row, and then two columns at staggered intervals, which was indeed a cavalry modification of the three-stage strike.

…… My day, there was a power outage at night, and just when the call came, the grassroots immediately crawled out of the bed, brothers, forgive me...... Besides, today's task is not completed, and the manuscript is about to run out, what should I do,......
