The reason why this has become the assessment criterion for ancient soldiers and horses is that it is really difficult to control troops, especially those on the march.

If it is in another time and space without Jiang Feng, the military strategist Qi Jiguang has special requirements for marching in the military book, that is, when fighting on the battlefield, the march should be slow, and there should be a pause every ten steps, and continue to move forward after aligning with each other to correct the queue, otherwise the formation will collapse.

The officers of the Ming army in the mighty battalion did a better job than Qi Jiguang requested, and the soldiers could walk thirty steps in a row before stopping to correct the queue, of course, this was also the reason why the speed of the artillery could not be fast.

It can be seen that the four infantry regiments of the Huazhou Army, after an order, began to rush forward in great strides, and there was no chaos, nor did they stop the whole team, and they were kept so steadily, so you can imagine how much shock it gave the Ming army.

But the shock was not only that, the drums of the Huazhou army quickly became faster, and the four infantry regiments began to trot and approach quickly, still without the need for the whole team to align, the speed was faster.

The military formation of the mighty battalion, which had been stable from the beginning, began to be a little commotion when he saw the infantry formation that the other party quickly pressed over, and the soldiers of the mighty battalion were also veterans who had fought on the battlefield, and they had also seen the scene of the White Lotus cultists rushing over all over the mountains, but although the momentum was huge, there was nothing to fear.

But looking at the Huazhou army charging, everyone changed color, and the speed of the other party's running was not as good as those who were running wildly, but the phalanx did not disperse, and the queue was neat, so it suddenly came over.

When trotting forward, keep the team not chaotic, put it today is a very simple thing, get around the Middle Ages, this is synonymous with elite soldiers, even many veritable elite soldiers can not do this, this era, only the Kingdom of Spain in Europe began similar training, and the scope is not large, before this, only the Swiss infantry did this, but only the Swiss infantry of that era.

In order to be able to move quickly and still maintain formation, it is necessary to practice queues in daily training, such as alignment, turning left, turning right, etc.

When Jiang Feng was training in Dengzhou, he began to carry out this kind of training, and many people at that time, including Jason Hogan from Europe, did not understand, when Jason Hogan was in Spain, the queue exercise was only just started in the army, and it was not popular.

And many soldiers can't even tell the difference between left and right, and even some instructors are like this, the training queue is considered to have delayed a lot of time, and it is better to let the soldiers practice the skills and skills of fighting when there is this time, but like many things in Huazhou, Jiang Feng insisted on doing it and did it.

Jiang Feng did not have any theoretical support for the importance of queue exercises, but he knew that before he crossed over, the students' military training should also have queue exercises, physical education classes should have queue exercises, and the first training for recruits to join the army is still queue exercises.

In fact, the parade exercises conducted in European armies in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in which soldiers from most countries could trot forward and charge without being in a disorderly formation, is considered by military historians to be an important sign of the transition from ancient armies to modern armies.

The Huazhou army took the initiative to attack, and the long-range firepower of the mighty battalion was the best time to give play, and the officers of the mighty battalion naturally knew this, and gave orders again and again to stop the team.

At this time, it showed the difference between the quality of the Huazhou army, and they were originally based on the speed of the central artillery movement of the front, which can be said to be very slow, but when the other side pressed over and the officers suddenly stopped drinking, there was still chaos.

Setting up the artillery and loading the ammunition were all chaotic, and the archers and musketeers were also there to prepare in a hurry.

Accompanied by the rapid sound of drums of the Huazhou army, the phalanx of the Huazhou army got closer and closer, and the people in the Ming army formation became more and more confused.

But after all, the soldiers of the mighty battalion have been trained for a long time, and although they are panicked at this time, they still finish loading the artillery, and look at the military formation of the Huazhou army on the opposite side is in front of them, and there is no need for any aiming and correction.

The people who were swept by this projectile were all flesh and blood, and this round of shelling continued, and the Huazhou army immediately suffered no less than 300 casualties, which was considered to be powerful enough for the shells of this era, and the effect was very good.

However, the Huazhou army's charge did not slow down, and there were indeed casualties, but all the Huazhou soldiers did not look back, nor did they have a scattered formation, and they were not even aroused by the death of their colleagues, but calmly maintained the formation of the charge, seeing the other party's appearance, the Ming army of the mighty battalion felt that their breathing was much more urgent, a little panicked, and their movements were stiff and slow.

The guns of the mighty battalion still fired, and the archers also began to fire, since the beginning of the war, Huazhou attacked the opponent's formation, and the Ming army fired firearms, this is the first time.

Many of the Huazhou soldiers who rushed in the first row were shocked, and they fell straight to the ground, and the first row of the Huazhou army was empty almost instantly, and the damage was not small, but the soldiers behind were still non-stop, the rhythm of the drums was still the same, and the expressions of the soldiers were very indifferent and continued to charge.

The artillery and the guns could not quickly shoot the second round in the tension and panic, only the archers fired the second round of arrows with trembling hands.

The Huazhou army and the Ming army finally collided together, and the soldiers of the Huazhou army, who had always been quiet, finally broke out at this time, and the sound of killing shook the sky in an instant, and the soldiers of the mighty battalion may be the strongest army in the normal army of this era, but the Huazhou army on the opposite side is beyond this era.

This is not a gap in military strength and equipment, this is actually a gap in the times, this gap cannot be bridged, and it is the biggest key to victory or defeat.

Jiajing 23 years of the month, Huazhou 5,000 soldiers from Datong into Shanxi, this news passed quickly, to the Beijing Ji County, Shanxi soldiers and horses homesick and uneasy, three days later, collapsed, scattered in all directions.
