Chapter 272: New Battle Formation

Yang He went to the training ground, Chen Qiuao and other guards followed, and Jiang Zhen, a sword man, and Jiang Qing, a steel fork man, were two brothers. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After these two brothers entered the village, they have been following Yang He as a door god, they are burly and fierce, and they still have a lot of oppression on people who don't understand their details.

The two brothers felt that it was very good to follow Yang Xianggong, and they could eat enough every day, but they looked at Chen Qiuao's gaze with some fear and atrophy.

During this time, the two brothers were hard by Chen Qiuao.

This Chen Killing Star is not a thing.

Yang He and the others went out from the newly established Zhuangdong Gate, and soon arrived at the foot of the North Mountain, where the drill was in full swing, with the sound of orders, shouts of killing, the sound of firecrackers, and the sound of the horse's hooves galloping.

Zhang Chugong, a Chinese officer, as well as Minister Yang, Han Guan'er, Yang Qianzong, Luo Xianjue, Zhang Songtao and others were urging on the side. On the cavalry side, Qian Likui, Qian Sanniang, Li Ruwan, Liu Qilang and others were also training the cavalry formation and teaching the soldiers equestrian skills.

However, the ninth master Qian Zhongyong was not there, he went to search for the horse team again, and Han Daxia was not there, he was in charge of Suining's affairs. There are also Zhang Dan, Han Shangliang and others who feel that Xin'anzhuang has a good prospect and intend to stay, so they go back to Xuzhou to recruit brothers.

Seeing Yang Xianggong coming, the officers of the General Central Committee came over to salute, and Yang He waved his hand and asked them to continue.

He watched the training carefully, when summer came, they all changed into summer clothes, soft and cool cotton fabric, and the soldiers wore light mandarin duck battle jackets, at this time the red side was exposed, and there was a cyan armor coat, shoulder-length, knee-length, alternating blue and red, revealing red arms.

There was also a red shoulder scarf with a sash, and a light red hat.

The officers were dressed similarly, but the blue side of the mandarin duck jacket was exposed, the outer armor was red, and the shoulder scarf was cyan.

Due to the arrival of summer, the officers and soldiers did not wear cloaks.

There is also a cavalry sentry team, the blue side of the mandarin duck battle jacket is exposed, the outer armor is gray, the felt hat is also gray, and the body is covered with a light black cloak.

Overall, the military uniforms of Xin'anzhuang are quite beautiful, the color is suitable, and the heroic posture of the soldiers is brought out to the greatest extent.

Yang He also believes that the military appearance and military uniform are very important, otherwise the obscene image will make people unappetizing at first glance.

He watched the soldiers train, and at this time the commanders were practicing with their spears, but it was quite different from before, not the soldiers went out alone, or fought according to some defensive earthen wall, but the soldiers stood behind the shields.

At this time, the first row of large shields was standing, a few steps away from the second row of large shields, and then the two rows of gunners were behind the first row of large shields.

They were staggered in two rows, the first standing between the gaps in the shields, their guns sticking out, and the second standing behind the shield-wielding men.

Then the first row of gunmen finished fighting, retreated, turned behind the shield bearers, crouched down to reload the medicine, and the second row of gunners moved, moving to the right to the gap in the shield where the gunners were shooting.

When they had finished fighting, they retreated to the back of the shield-bearers to reload the pills, and so on and so forth, fighting in two rows.

However, after returning from the sacrifice of thieves, Yang He consulted with the officers, believing that it was impossible for everything to be unsatisfactory, and that he would always fight the enemy on the set battlefield, and that there might be encounters in the future, fighting in an open field or in a place where no defense was set up.

And when you attack, you also need to change appropriately.

Earlier, the soldiers fought in undefended places, and used shield carts in the field, but the shield carts were still a bit bulky because of the use of wheels, which also required high terrain.

After the final discussion, it was decided that the cold soldiers and the gunned soldiers cooperated, and the big shield was carrying a heavy shield on its body, and there were straps on both sides of the shield, which were carried on the body like a backpack, and it was convenient to move anything, and the terrain could also be walked.

As long as they don't encounter firearms or 10,000 enemies, this large shield is more than enough to cover the gunners, so they shoot between the gaps in the shields, and when the enemy gets close, they retreat, and then the spears hidden behind the large shields in the second row come forward.

In this way, to increase the mobility even more, that is, to attack, you can also hold a large shield and hide behind the soldiers. After approaching the enemy, they fired through the gaps in the shields, and the large shields were closely coordinated with the muskets.

In addition, Yang He also needs some more flexible troops, so there are also some soldiers training the Mandarin Duck Formation.

The Mandarin Duck Array is very popular in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zhugong and others have been in the army in the past, and they have been involved in it to some extent, especially Liu Qilang and others, who were in the Tianxiong Army in the past, and they were even more familiar with it, and Yang He trained it himself for a few days.

The formation of the mandarin duck formation is naturally different from that of the Xin'an Army at this time, and Yang He also selected some people to form the army, with twelve people as a small team, with one captain and two captains, and fought according to the situation of the Xin'an Army.

It is the captain who commands on the side, with a flag gun, and the two captains are round card players, slightly larger than ordinary leather shields, and use waist knives and javelins. The two of them used a large boring palladium to block the enemy's weapons and then stabbed them. Four more men used spears to cover and stab behind the palladium boring hands.

The two of them use the fire gun, or use the flintlock winged tiger gun, the winged tiger gun has three tubes per stroke, and the two of them are equivalent to six guns, whether they attack or defend, they are very powerful, and they can knock down the enemy on the opposite side from a distance.

In order to better fight, these winged tiger gunners also use guns, which are the outermost iron hoops of the three guns, inlaid with an iron-clad scabbard, and the sword is inserted in the scabbard, made of fine iron, wrapped in steel, three-edged style, strong and durable and sharp.

In order to better secure the sword, there are two bolts on the scabbard that lock the sword to it so that it does not loosen.

When there is nothing to do, the Winged Tiger can also unscrew the bolt, take off the sword, and wipe it for maintenance.

The last man uses a big stick to cover the rear of the first team, and at the same time can also protect the two winged tiger men in front.

The mandarin duck array is long and short, the contradictions are close, the weapons have a clear division of labor, and they are a whole, very sharp, Qi Jiguang played an important role in the battle against the Japanese invaders or the northern captives.

The special mandarin duck formation is flexible and variable, it can be a column, a horizontal formation, and it can also be separated, it is a "five-element formation", a "three-talent formation", etc., and it can basically fight on any terrain, and even it is very sharp when fighting in the streets.

Yang He planned to equip each general with eight squads of mandarin duck soldiers in the future, with 96 people, and another 100 generals, according to the "invisible division" system, to train more officers, and then set up two deputy hundred generals, and the last herald and guard, a total of 100 people.

They protect the flanks of the main formation, and can also attack, or as skirmishers, etc.

However, Yang He temporarily selected some veterans to train a hundred people, and then exterminated the remnants of the Qingshan thieves and went to fight.

These people also temporarily belong to the Chinese army, and Zhang Chujing serves as the general manager.

Yang He watched the infantry drill, and the training ground was full of battlefield atmosphere at this time.

The reason why it is called "battlefield" is because the soldiers are bombarding in bursts, and dozens of paces away from the opposite side, there are bursts of arrows.

The smoke of black powder was large, and I saw that the smoke was filled here, and the entire shield array could not be seen, and the "battle situation" was very fierce.

But it was a drill between the two sides, with empty ammunition on this side and wooden arrows wrapped in cloth on the other, and at first glance, I thought that there was an army fighting here.

On the training side of the Mandarin Duck Formation, from time to time, someone on the opposite side shot wooden arrows and threw clods of soil, like raindrops, Zhang Chujing roared, letting the soldiers maintain the battle formation.

Yang He nodded secretly, the battle formation training is what he has always emphasized, especially against the Qing soldiers at the end of the year, the opponent is a professional soldier with many years of combat experience, and he is notorious. And their own team, the time is only more than a year, if you don't maintain the battle formation, the time is on the top, I am afraid that there will be more than luck.

In particular, the Mandarin Duck Formation emphasizes the whole and cooperation, a small team of twelve people is a whole, no one can do without anyone, there is no need for heroes here, as long as the whole team closely cooperates.

At that time, Qi Jiguang emphasized the importance of wholeness and cooperation, and even used integrated rewards and punishments as a guarantee of discipline.

He turned his gaze to another place, where many soldiers were training in equestrian skills, and under the guidance of Qian Likui and others, they rushed down the mountain in groups, or rushed up from the bottom of the mountain, or crossed some uncomplicated river, etc.

In addition to the cavalry team, there are more than 500 horses in Xin'anzhuang, and the soldiers of each corps take turns to train, many people have entered the stage of wild riding, and even some people have carried out the training in a good way in addition to attacking and walking.

Basically, after a while, his Xin'anzhuang team can do it with a simple wild gallop.

Because of the daily hard work, these war horses have entered the stage of heavy service, six or seven catties of concentrate every day, seven or eight kilograms of hay are indispensable, and there are often eggs, bone meal, and fish to eat, which is really more careful than waiting for the ancestors.

But it is also necessary, horses enter the stage of heavy labor, if only grass, especially green fodder, a horse has to eat 60 to 80 pounds of grass a day, and if it can't afford to get fat, it will soon be tired, just like people can't do heavy work after eating porridge.

Farther away, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and a large puff of smoke and dust was filled, but it was Qian Sanniang, Li Ruwan and others under the leadership of Liu Qilang's team, who were practicing riding formation.

How to line up, how to start, how to maintain the shock team, etc., make the cavalry a powerful cavalry formation, just like a foot formation.

Qian Sanniang and others are proficient in equestrianism, and they can lift weights to maintain "one horse distance" when riding and galloping, and it is not difficult to train in the riding formation at present, that is, each horse should be familiar.

Watching them train, although they only rode more than 100 horses, their momentum was like that of thousands of horses, Yang He couldn't help but nod.

At this time, the gong sounded, and the training of the foot soldiers here came to an end, and everyone was sweating profusely, and they all went to the pergola to drink water and rest.

Then Minister Yang, Han Guan'er and other chief officers came to the side of Yang River, and from a distance, they also heard Minister Yang's loud voice: "Sure enough, this formation is good, it is much lighter, and in the future, there is no need to bring a shield car for field battles." ”

There is also Luo Xianjue said: "I've seen it, the soldiers are hiding behind the big shield, basically the arrows can't shoot them, and you can hit them here." ”

Han Guan'er said: "Actually, there are still some arrows passing through the shield, and some thrown arrows sometimes fall. ”

Yang Qian said: "If the soldiers have iron helmets and iron armor, then the enemy's arrows will be useless." ”

He even said that if the soldiers were equipped with iron masks, it would be even more foolproof.

Zhang Songtao shook his head: "I'm afraid it will affect my vision." ”

Returning to Yang He's side, the generals were still arguing about this, and finally Zhang Chugong said: "Gunners can't wear masks, we shoot between shields, and our vision is a little poor." After a few more shots, smoke rises, and if you put on an iron mask, I'm afraid you won't see anything. ”

He was a member of the officers and soldiers, and he was also a bird's hand, and his words were quite authoritative.

Yang Qian was always a little unconvinced, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to refute.

Yang He smiled, in the era of black powder, the smoke was indeed big, especially when there was no wind. Hiding between the gaps in the shield, the vision was originally affected, and wearing an iron mask that greatly affected the vision, I am afraid that I can't see a ghost on the other side.

However, if the soldiers are equipped with iron armor, even if the enemy's arrows pass through the gaps in the shields, they can greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers.

If the enemy is close, his spears can also crouch down and shoot, shielding the arrows with the brim of their iron hats. The arrows are all parabola, and when people squat down, it is actually difficult to hit the front door, and most of them will fall on the iron helmet.

The smoke is also a kind of protection, because the opposite side is also not clear to see the figure here.

It is best to have full-body armor, so you don't need a big shield to protect them, you can stand in the front, and then equip them with iron masks, which are invulnerable and do not affect their vision.

At this time, it was the sound of hooves, but it was Qian Sanniang and the others who came back, and there was a rumbling sound, and everyone's black cloaks fluttered vigorously.

In the smoke and dust, soon the crowd rode to the front, and in front of them were Liu Qilang and others, who had changed into the clothes of the Xin'anzhuang cavalry sentry team, but the cold and iron-blooded aura remained unchanged.

When they got closer, Liu Qilang and the other twenty-five horsemen rode a Qile horse, and they were still for a moment, and the movements were the same, and the people and horses in the rear were much more chaotic.

Then everyone got off the horse one after another, and they made a noise, especially Li Ruwan also had a loud voice: "Ah, today is really happy, the master and the brothers have learned the skills again, and Xiao Liuzi still has two brushes." ”

The corners of Liu Qilang's mouth twitched, but he still strode over, and the brothers in his team led the horses to the pergola to drink water, and there was a series of pergolas here for the trained people and horses to drink water and rest.

Looking at him, Yang He felt that this person's temperament was somewhat familiar with Chen Qiuao, but he didn't know it, Chen Qiuao was cool, but in fact he was sullen, just by looking at his likes to mix with Zeng Youyu, Hu Employment and others.

Liu Qilang is simple and cold, his heart is like iron, and his heart is firm, which may be related to his experience.

Looking at him to give a salute, Yang He smiled and said, "Captain Liu has worked hard. ”

Liu Qilang said: "This is the subordinate duty. He stood aside and was silent, only observing the generals of Xin'anzhuang beside Yang He.

Then Qian Sanniang and Li Ruwan came over, Li Ruwan swayed, walking more ferociously than a man, worthy of being called Li Ye's female man.

Qian Sanniang chuckled with her, she pressed the heavy sword, and the left and right handcuffs were belted, and she walked like a model, which was pleasing to the eye.

In particular, she was wearing a summer dress, and she was not wearing iron-inlaid cotton armor at this time, and her figure was even more concave and convex, with a sense of golden ratio.

After the second daughter came over, she also gave a salute to Yang He, and then stood aside, Qian Sanniang listened to everyone, glanced at Yang He from time to time, and stopped talking.

In the end, she still spoke: "Yang Xianggong is going to Suqian tomorrow?" ”

Yang He looked at her and saw that her eyelashes trembled, a pair of bright eyes, her eyes drooped slightly, and she smiled: "Yes." ”

Qian Sanniang said: "Is the escort team accompanying you?" ”

Yang Daodao: "Yes. ”

Qian Sanniang said: "Is it horseback riding?" ”

Yang Hedao: "Xin'anzhuang is one hundred and eighty miles from Suqian, and you really have to ride a horse. ”

Qian Sanniang said: "Those guards are all on horseback, how can they protect safety?" Those two big guys are also useless. If you let your subordinates and Sister Ruwan accompany you, and then select a few people from the cavalry team, you will definitely be able to protect them thoroughly. ”

Li Ruwan said: "Yes, Sanniang's words are pertinent. ”

Everyone in the escort was discolored, and their faces were ugly.

Jiang Zhen and Jiang Qing brothers shrank their heads, they all diverted their eyes and said nothing, after the two of them entered the village, their fierce appearance shocked many people, but the woman named "Li Ye" was very interested in them, and one day challenged them.

The two of them were beaten down by her.
