All along, the Huaxia Army, in line with the purpose of not letting the enemy discover that he has more advanced weapons and not allowing the enemy to learn more advanced tactics, has always suppressed and suppressed the use of new weapons until the enemy has mastered what he has learned and will face strategic defeat when facing the enemy, or when he will suffer heavy tactical casualties, he will allow a small amount of advanced weapons to be used.

This is also even if the Huaxia Army already has a front-loading rifled gun, and the technology is quite mature, it is only a small number of the most elite troops, which have never been known to outsiders, and the garrison still uses the Jingai-1 arquebus, rather than a large number of Jingai-2 arquebuses to improve their combat effectiveness.

The militia brigade is equipped with a large number of cold weapons, broadswords, spears, and even some newly reorganized captive units and newly reorganized militia units and militia units dominated by young and strong people are not even equipped with weapons, but only send a unit with weapons to lead them, let them carry wooden sticks, big sticks of government servants to beat boards, or directly use agricultural tools as some necessary weapons to maintain local law and order.

The weapons in the militia are distributed in a trapezoidal shape, with a hierarchy distribution, from bare-handed to holding wooden sticks and farm tools, to the security army with some captured broken weapons and shields, and even some of the elite militia auxiliary troops guarding the prisoners, holding bamboo spears and bamboo knives in their hands, carrying wicker rattan armor on their backs, and only the officers have a goose feather knife in their hands, mandarin duck knives and other weapons and equipment.

The militia troops who had experienced blood and fire in the war were nothing more than waist knives equipped with the former Ming army, embroidered spring knives, and Ming army waist knives or something, and the bows and arrows used were short bows and horn bows used to capture the Mongolian cavalry.

Even the militia brigade defending the city only has real broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, and all weapons produced by the enemy, or some old muskets built in the early stage, carrying guns, firearms, three-eyed guns, bed crossbows, etc.

Those who went directly to the battlefield were holding bird guns captured from the Qing army, guns from the Ming army, artillery from the Ming army, and artillery from the Qing army.

Afraid of what?

I'm afraid they'll rebel.

They hold such weapons, not to mention that they can't do the cold weapon troops in the garrison troops, even if it is a new barracks, they can't do it, the lowest recruit in the new barracks is equipped with standard Ming army waist knives, Ming army bows, and arquebuses below version 1.0 eliminated by the Huaxia Army in the early stage, in front of advanced queues, tactics, and organizations, even with such weapons, under the leadership of officers, a new barracks, more than five hundred, is more than enough to defeat an elite militia force of two or three thousand people.

The militia unit is the reserve of the recruit unit, the recruit battalion is the reserve of the garrison force, the garrison force is the reserve of the field brigade, the cavalry brigade and other regular troops of the D level troops, the D field brigade and the cavalry brigade are the reserve of the C field brigade and the cavalry brigade, the C field brigade and the cavalry brigade are the reserve of the B field brigade and the cavalry brigade, and so on.

The field brigade is the reserve of the Guards Brigade, and when they reach the Guards Brigade, they will be the end of the soldiers, either they will die in battle, or they will retire at the end of the year, or they will be promoted to officers, and it is quite difficult to be promoted to officers in the Guards Brigade, because it is the most elite and elite combination, and it is difficult for the strongest of the strong to come out.

If you serve in the militia for three or five years, you can only go home and become a civilian.

In order to maximize the contradiction between the population and the war soldiers, the Chinese army used the service system of later generations, if there is no skill, but the body is strong, you can go to the soldiers, first go to the militia to serve, if the performance is good, you will soon be promoted to the new barracks, in the new barracks training is completed, if the performance is good, you will be sent to the garrison troops, the performance will generally be sent back to the militia units, in the militia units will serve as some low-level militia officers, poor performance directly back to the militia units, continue to be a militia, But they were better than the captives and war civilians who were strong enough to serve.

They have a good chance of being promoted, and even if they don't do well in the recruit camp, they will soon become junior officers in the militia and junior units.

For example, the captain of the army, the chief of the army, the person with the average performance is the general banner, and they have to start from a small soldier, and the promotion will be very fast.

Those who are promoted to the combat unit as small soldiers, and those who have made meritorious contributions will also be sent to the garrison as small soldiers, and they will become army commanders or even chiefs after a few years, and at this time, if the higher units pick people, or the garrison units are integrated into the field brigades, they will become real regular army soldiers.

If there is a shortage of officers in the garrison troops, they can be promoted to another level, to a small flag or a general flag, and if they have made meritorious contributions in battle, or if they have performed well, they will stay and continue to be promoted, if they have no chance at that time, they can only retire, return to their hometowns, and become officers of the militia units in their hometowns or local officials, and arrest officials such as government officials, and then they are really ordinary people.

For example, several brigades formed in front of the field brigade have been replaced with smoothbore flintlock pistols, which have got rid of arquebuses, which are troublesome to operate and complicated to work for.

Some elite units are even armed with flintlock front-loading rifled guns, such as the guards of the most elite generals.

In this battle, in order to solve these armed forces left in the Central Plains as soon as possible, Zhang Qiang used the artillery with flowering shells equipped by the Guards Brigade.

This kind of flowering bomb is actually an experimental product, which is just a hollow iron ball that hits the particles of black powder, and then puts a time-delayed fuse in it. The gun is filled with a propellant pack, and then stuffed into a ball of silk-wrapped cork and cement to block the barrel, and then the artilleryman lights the fuse of the shell, covers it with a perforated cover, and puts it into the chamber like a mortar shell, and then the artilleryman behind ignites the ****** with tongs, and the shell is fired.

After the shell flew for several miles, the fuse burned out, and when the shell fell into the middle of the enemy, the shell exploded, killing the enemy.

Under the current circumstances, Zhang Qiang can only do this.

Because he does not have relevant military knowledge, and the system does not provide relevant military knowledge.

But this is always primitive, in fact, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were also flowering shells with related technologies, which made the enemy suffer a big loss, they had never seen this kind of shells that could explode directly in the army, and thought that the shells were solid iron lumps.

This kind of artillery shell with no technical content made the Huaxia army lead the enemy for a long time, but because there was no technical content, Zhang Qiang could only keep it secret, and it was only used on the rebel army with a very low force value like Chen Youzheng, after being surrounded by heavy surrounding, the Qing army was in civil strife, and the Lu State had not straightened out the relationship between their monarchs and ministers, and when there was a fierce struggle between the ministers and the ministers, it was impossible for anyone to care about the battle of a rebel army that originally had only a few thousand people, and at least 80 to 90 percent of the use would not leak secrets, and it was very safe, can also quickly solve this rabble, and free up time and troops for the next step to concentrate on fighting Li Guo's Dashun army.

After watching the Huaxia Army's quick knife and chaos to solve the 120,000 troops of Chen Youzheng's army in one day and one night, Zhang Qiang did not pay much attention to them, but turned his gaze back to Li Guo's Dashun Loyal Battalion, where there are still 200,000 rabble, and 50,000 or 60,000 rogue troops with experience in wandering operations.
