The thieves are so big! It's time to open Enco, open Enco! You can be an official......

Wei Wenweng, who was galloping towards Yiliebao on his horse, was now thinking about the two things of "Kaienke" and "being an official".

As a landlord-class intellectual in the Western Song Dynasty in the Middle Ages, Wei Wenweng's three major events in his life were, of course, the imperial examination, meritorious service and being an official.

The current Western Song Dynasty is squeezed by the two world empires like the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Song Dynasty, and it is becoming more and more "profitable". Originally, the imperial examination promotion route outside the path of military merit also changed from "the Son of Heaven is heroic, and the article teaches Er Cao; Everything is inferior, only the reading is high" has become "the son of heaven is heroic, and the musket teaches Ercao; Everything is inferior, only the target is high".

In today's Western Song Dynasty, the right way to become a military attache is Huashan Lecture on Martial Arts Hall and Huashan on Swords. And the right way to be a civil official is to shoot targets in the imperial examination!!

But just shooting a target can only hit an official body, and it can't really be a good dispatch. Even if it is the champion of the target, it is to give a Ru Linlang who is a positive ninth grade. As for the dispatch, like other jinshi, they are all captains or vice-captains of the musket team! If you don't want to do it, it's a good choice...... Keep it until the braids don't make up for the gaps.

finally got admitted to the Jinshi, who is willing to keep the choice for a lifetime? Besides, now that the Western Song Dynasty is financially tight, there is no money for the elected officials.

Therefore, being admitted to the Jinshi is only the first of the three major events in life.

And the second major event is meritorious service, also known as Kaienke.

Why is it called Kaienko? That's because there were not only jinshi in the Western Song musket team, but also lifters and talents. And only if they have accumulated a certain amount of merit, they can be promoted. Xiucai can promote people, and lifting people can be promoted to scholars. It's like opening Enko, so that everyone can get an extra chance in high school.

As for the merit of the jinshi, then it can be fattened. How many "kills" this county lieutenant wants, how many "kills" he wants in the main book, and how many "kills" he wants in the county are all clearly marked. The more you kill, the faster you will be promoted. However, the top is capped, at most to the level of the county. Further up, it depends on the ability to be an official.

In addition to individual merits, there are also collective merits, that is, "small victories", "medium victories", and "big victories" three levels, this collective merit cannot be exchanged for fat shortages, but it can be exchanged for higher ranks and posts for captains and team vice-presidents.

And having a "post" and not having a "post" will have a great impact on the future of officialdom - of course, the "post" will not be directly given to the level of bachelor and waiter. Usually it's just a revision, but with this revision, you can continue to rise in the future. If you don't have it, you can't get other jobs. If you don't have a job, you can't hold a high-ranking official position.

So now the civil officials of the Western Song Dynasty are all in the rain of bullets, and they are really not much different from military attachés......

Under this kind of officialdom rules of shooting targets and taking the imperial examination, killing the enemy and becoming an official, if you want to be an official, you have to practice marksmanship hard, and then go into battle to kill the enemy.

Moreover, unlike the Eastern Song Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Western Song Dynasty had developed industry and commerce, and there were many ways to make a fortune, so it was not necessarily necessary to be an official. The Western Song Dynasty was constrained by inconvenient transportation, and private industry and commerce could not develop at all. Naturally, the status of craftsmen and merchants cannot rise, and even if they have a few money, they are oppressed.

If you want to get ahead, there is only one way to become an official.

And to become an official, whether you are an official or a military attaché, you have to rely on military merit, and there is no other way.

Therefore, the scholars of the Western Song Dynasty had no choice but to study while studying (there are still written examinations for the imperial examination) and shooting targets at the same time. After winning the middle (jinshi, lifting people, showing talents), you have to use practical actions to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism - loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is now not a matter of talking and writing a few splendid articles, you have to kill the enemy in the rain of bullets!

If you don't want to shoot and kill the enemy, then you don't have to be an official, you just farm honestly, pay rent and taxes to support the old man.

By the way, the master who was born in target shooting and killing the enemy is much more ferocious than the master who was born in the imperial examination article! For the working people, the Western Song Dynasty is really not as good as the original Great Song Dynasty......

And the talents, lifters, and jinshi who want to ride on the heads of the working people to make a fortune now know that the Mongolian army is coming, and they are naturally jubilant!

"Kill the thief! Kaienko! Victory ......"

"Kill the thief! Kaienko! Victory ......"

When the news spread, the soldiers in the city of Yiliebao immediately cheered.

Both the musket scholars who followed the civilian path and the military officers who took the military attache route were all overjoyed by the great war that was about to begin.

They have been on the Ili front for too long, although skirmishes have not been broken. But it is difficult to get the enemy's head in such a conflict, and how can it be justified to kill without a head?

Moreover, it is difficult to calculate the collective merit of small-scale scout confrontations, and the soldiers who attack can often only get one-third of the "small victory" merit, and they will only be promoted until the year of the monkey?

Now it's good, the credit has been sent to the door, Kaienke! can finally be promoted and make a fortune, can everyone be unhappy?

"How many?"

"At least tens of thousands!"

"So much?"

"Almost."

"It's all cavalry?"

"I don't know, there's no way to get close to ......"

Among the divisions of the 10th Infantry Division of the Great Song (Western Song) Army in Yiliebao City, Yang Tiexin, the commander of the 10th Division, had just finished asking Wei Wenweng, who had come to report, and turned his head to look at Li Bi, the supervising army.

"Ji Zhang, what do you think?"

Li Bi is an elderly civil official, in his fifties this year, and he has been in the office for 30 years. He is from his father's background and is also a target jinshi, of course, he is also a target jinshi! He used to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites and Rites, and he also presided over a "target shooting test". The current official is the 10th Division and the head of the Broken Leaf Monarch's Mansion.

Not to mention the "long history" or anything, his joining the army alone has already shown that the civil officials of the Western Song Dynasty have greatly improved their status through "target shooting jinshi" and can participate in the military.

Of course, it is doubtful whether these officials who carried guns into the examination room were civil officials.

Li Bi stroked his beard, "Since the beard is so big, there is only one battle." ”

"The battle is certain!" Yang Tiexin stood up, walked to the map table, and looked at the terrain around Yiliebao, "The question now is where to fight!" ”

"Of course you have to fight outside the city!" Li Bi said, "Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to cut off people's heads to repay their merits." ”

It's pretty good to join the army, 200,000 Tartars are coming over with great momentum, he is not afraid at all, and he is thinking about cutting off his head to repay his merits.

"That's right...... Here's your chance! "Yang Tiexin is also a gallant master.

He, like Li Bi, is also a shadow supplement. His grandfather was Yang Zaixing, a general of the Yue family's army, and his father was also a general of the Jingchu faction. He himself served in the army for more than 20 years, and finally became the commander of a division.

But it was not easy for him to go further, because he had never won a good battle in half his life.

If he can't make some miraculous achievements, most of the division commanders will have to take a back seat.

"The enemy is strong," Yang Tiexin said, "it should be Temujin himself who came!" The fort of Ereh was a large fortress of the mound, and it was impossible for him to fill it with human life. So it must be a siege, and maybe reinforcements.

If this is the case, no matter whether we win or lose this battle, we will not have much chance to perform. It was nothing more than sitting in the fortress and waiting for Temujin to run out of food and retreat.

If you want to make meritorious service and make great contributions, you must go out of the city! ”

"Temujin is here? Is it still certain to go out of the city? Li Bi was a little worried when he heard Yang Tiexin mention the name of "Temujin", "There is a huge disparity between the people!" ”

"Hehe," Yang Tiexin smiled, "We can have 16 sharpshooter teams under the 10th Division, and there are more than 2,000 sharpshooters. Temujin will regret coming to Ireburg! ”

"But the Mongols don't have 100,000 ...... How many of our 2,000 sharpshooters can kill? ”

"Hehe, the question is not how many can be killed, but where!"

"Where?" Li Bi asked.

Yang Tiexin pointed to a large bungalow area located in the north of Yiliebao City on the map, and said to Li Bi: "Right here!" ”

"Huh? Isn't this a settlement for the Xiliang people? It's all houses, how to fight? ”

Yang Tiexin said: "Just fight in the houses and alleys!" ”

……

"Woo Woo ......"

There was a burst of gunfire, and the Persian infantry who had rushed to the front fell again! The rest of the Persians were frightened, and they turned and retreated, like a low tide, in the direction where Temujin was located.

"Father Khan, these Persians are so useless!" Temujin's second son, Chagatai, shouted, "Father Khan asks the child to supervise the war......

Temujin glanced at his second son, and Chagatai was so frightened that Chagatai hurriedly shut up.

"Father Khan," said Temujin's favorite youngest son, Torre, "or bombardment...... We have to force the Song people out of that private house, otherwise how can we fight? ”

Temujin frowned as he watched as his cowardly warriors brandished sabers and whips to stop the Persians from continuing to retreat.

Seriously, as soon as today's battle began, Temujin knew what was going to happen to the Persians.

Because the Song people adopted a rather unexpected style of play this time, neither blindly sticking to the fort nor going out of the city. Instead, the battlefield was set up in a bungalow area made up of adobe houses.

This area of bungalows is not particularly large, it is built between the north of the city of Yirebao and the Ili River. There is a merger of the dock area, the market area, and the residential area. The main buildings are adobe bungalows, and many of the low adobe enclosures have been remodeled to give the façade a sloping surface that can be protected from bullets.

In addition, all the streets in the bungalow area are barricaded with sandbags. There were also a number of field guns placed in the bungalow area, constantly changing gun positions and firing with shotguns.

In the south of the Pingfang District, the Western Song Army also deployed defenders and artillery to prevent Temujin from sending troops to attack the flank of the Pingfang District.

Such an arrangement does not look very clever, but the attacking Persian infantry suffered heavy losses.

To Temujin's surprise, his Persian infantry was not defeated by the enemy's volleys of guns, but by scattered fire.

And this kind of scattered shooting did not follow the principle of "firing at close range", but fired at a distance of a hundred paces. It crackled and crackled, but the firepower was not violent. But you can always put down a piece of ......

Borhu, one of Temujin's mother's "four adopted sons", came galloping from the front on horseback at this time. When he arrived at Temujin, he dismounted, pressed his right hand on his left chest and saluted: "Great Khan, no, our people are too dead and wounded!" ”

"Our people?" Temujin asked, "You mean the Persians?" ”

"No, no, a money wave, let him die!" Bolhu said, "But the bullets of the Song thieves seem to have long eyes, and they are designed to hit the officers we sent!" ”

"What?" Temujin's face suddenly became a little ugly.

He didn't feel sorry for how many Persians died, but the people who supervised the battle in the Persian army were all warriors sent from the Cowardly Xue army, and it was distressing to kill a single one.

These Song thieves are also too cunning, and they have to pick and choose when killing people on the battlefield...... It's so hateful!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

When Temujin was shocked, his artillery opened fire again.

Temujin of this time and space was a top student of the Tabriz Military Academy, proficient in artillery and engineers. Now that he is the Great Khan, he naturally attaches great importance to the development of artillery.

When he was in the West, his artillery was pressed against the armies of Western Liao and the Golden Horde!

But today, when they arrived at the city of Yilebao, faced with a pile of low adobe houses, the Mongol artillery seemed to have completely lost its power. The bombardment continued, but it had no effect, and at most it smashed through the roofs of some bungalows. For the Song infantry who hid behind the breastwork or barricades with inclined faces, no casualties were inflicted at all.

No sooner had the frightening shelling ended, and another neatly arranged group of Persian infantry appeared to the west of the "bungalow area". The large array of 3,000 men, with muskets in front and spears in the back, marched slowly in a strict procession.

"Musketeers, take your place!" Half-kneeling behind a chest wall, Wei Wenweng shouted orders to his men. "Fire in 100 steps, free fire!"

Just as he was giving the order, two of his attendants were carefully loading his "Wei Family's Secret Fine Rifled Gun" with hammers and stabs.

By the way, these target fighters, target lifters, and target fighters all have their own high-quality muskets, and there is no limit to the number.

That is, a person has more than one musket. There are at least three or four, both long and short.

So their firepower is not comparable to that of ordinary musketeers.

In addition, their marksmanship is good, and they can carry out accurate sniping within 100 paces, without having to shoot a platoon of guns - this tactic existed in the era of line infantry in history, called "light infantry tactics" or "skirmish tactics".

The tactics of this era of line infantry are not stupid queues to be shot, and people also need to cooperate with multiple arms!

Today's Western Song Dynasty army has not yet entered the era of line infantry, and the straggler tactics have developed because of the "imperial examination and targeting", and it is far ahead of the times.

The 2,000 Eastern Song sharpshooters now stationed in this bungalow area have about 6,000 high-quality muskets loaded with ammunition, and they can kill 600 people in 100 paces if they can hit 10% of the shots...... For an enemy who is able to launch an attack in the limited space outside the bungalow area, 600 casualties are at least 20% casualty!

In fact, the hit rate of these Eastern Song sharpshooters at a distance of 100 steps is far more than 10%, and if it is only 10%, how can they fancy Xiucai?
