"Grenade ready!" A Qin artillery sergeant shouted. All the artillery of the Qin army began to get busy. Reload shells.

"Ready." The sergeant major raised one of his arms and shouted loudly.

The reloaded artillery left. Two ignition artillerymen were left.

"Put." The sergeant major saw the artillery officer signaling. Immediately wave your arm.

"Bang." "Bang. Boom. Boom. "One after the other. The cannon began to roar wildly. The smoke of black powder after firing quickly obscured the artillery positions.

Cannonballs whizzed by. Explode in a large pile of grass in the distance.

"It's spectacular." Fan Yuzhi held a telescope to watch the effect of the shell exploding.

"Yes, more than a hundred cannons fired together. If Li Mu sees this, he will see it. I'm going to be scared to death. A staff officer replied.

"Scare is definitely to be scared, but it doesn't have to be scared to death. Li Mu will never attack us from the front. Fan Yuqi said thoughtfully.

The artillery continued to rage. It shook like thunder in the sky. And the infantry phalanx of the Qin army was lined up in three rows in battalion units. They guns on the shoulder. The bayonet on the tip of the gun was unusually dense.

On either flank of them are militia units. Their ranks were somewhat scattered. But there is still a formation. Their improvised, militia officers, were shouting at the militia to get their feet in line. If you don't shout loudly, the militia won't hear it at all. Because the sound of the cannon was too loud.

The militiamen looked unusually excited. Because, it was the first time for them to participate in such a big formation. It was these hundred guns that were enough to excite them for a long time. Most of them are veterans of battle. Or young people who have just reached their age. But none of them had ever seen the artillery come into play. Because the weapons used by veterans before were cold weapons such as Ge and halberds. When they were told to join the militia, they were immediately given Lee-style muskets. They were the first to come into contact with such weapons. After a short training session. They are still not used to this kind of weapon that is cumbersome to load. And the range is limited. But it's huge.

But soon, they were excited again. Because, for the first time, the Qin army settled their military salaries. And, informed, as long as it was in service for a month, the musket was a personal weapon. They were delighted. Take care of the musket like a wife.

The militia was excited. The regular army is serious. Their faces were expressionless. Stand still and wait for orders. The cavalry was hidden. They are a reserve force. The timing of the investment is critical.

The reporters were busy running before and after to observe and record. Qin Jun has ordered that reporters from major newspapers can visit, but they must pay attention to safety. Otherwise, it doesn't matter. The journalists were dedicated, when the artillery fired. They stood right behind the artillery position. The rumbling sound of cannon shook their hearts.

The Qin army's exercise first started in the Taiyuan Military Region under Fan Yuzhi. The venue of the event is Langmeng County. This is the fringe area of the Zhao and Qin armies. The exercise became a kind of stage for the propaganda of force. Fan Yuzhi couldn't wait for this moment. When the fight between the north and the west was in full swing. His army here is constantly being siphoned off. More than 80,000 people were transferred from more than 120,000 people at once. It was only at the beginning of January that their army began to receive its first muskets. He had long heard about the power of this weapon. He was very excited. Especially artillery. It's powerful. That night, he didn't sleep all night. Instead, I watched the artillery with excitement all night. Subsequently, a large number of weapons and equipment began to enter his military camp in a steady stream. Then came the adaptation. Plus Shangdang County. and Hexi and other places. He suddenly became the supreme commander of the Taiyuan Military Region. The rank is a three-star lieutenant general. He doesn't care about any of that. What I care about is weapons and equipment, and what I care about is whether there is a war to fight. When the exercise order was given. He was very well prepared.

The militia conscripted as many as 120,000 at once. The muskets in the armory were dispensed at once. The total number of his troops suddenly expanded to 180,000. Compared with. Zhao Jun on the opposite side seemed much quieter.

Same with journalists. Zhao Jun could only watch silently. Facing the artillery fire of the Qin army. They can only sweat for their own little lives. As soon as the cannon passed, it exploded. Those grass targets are a big patch. And there were also dense infantry formations on the opposite side. They were all armed with muskets. And they belong to the second-rate troops. Muskets were not visible. Only those elites have it.

Half an hour after the shelling. It began to subside. A large number of shouts began to be heard from the infantry phalanx. That's when the officer was giving orders. And then under the orders of the officer. Slowly press forward.

The Qin army began to know the benefits of reserves. Only two infantry regiments were dispatched. About six thousand people. The left and right wings also began to move. Also two infantry regiments. The infantry formation of more than 12,000 people began to press over.

To boost morale, there is also an orchestra playing in the back. The artillery fire has not stopped. Their shots were sparse, but they still fired.

The infantry began to press slowly. When the team is halfway through the journey. Fan Yuzhi waved his hand. Signal a cavalry regiment to launch a frontal assault. In the midst of the tense and rhythmic sound of the trumpet. The cavalry was quickly assembled. Then line up in a three-lined formation and start attacking.

The gaps in their three huge formations penetrated from the front of the regular army. Then it is listed as a black line. Gradually, it began to accelerate. They were not carrying muskets. It's a spear that has been eliminated. They were spear cavalry. A weapon to break through the enemy's defenses head-on.

The cavalry approached the enemy's position like a black line quickly. Before, the artillery stopped firing. This is required for close coordination. The cavalry quickly tore through the enemy's frontal defenses. The spear in the cavalryman's hand is a disposable weapon, after the charge is completed. Just throw it away. Then draw your own saber. Hacking and slashing everywhere. Then the infantry who followed began to fire sporadically. And then with a bayonet. This is basically the end of the war, and it seems very boring. Because their opponents cannot withstand such a blow.

The reporters shouted as if they were watching a performance. They believe that in the face of such a close cooperation. A military formation with sharp weapons. Opponent of the Qin State. Only the defeated part. Since there is no camera. Journalists could only think of all the words in their heads to describe the spectacle of the exercise. Especially artillery. It was a big shock to them.

Rumbling cannons, whistling shells. It is like the punishment of our enemies from above. They struck them with thunder. We are inviolable. Don't be provocative. Don't Insult - Xianyang Daily
