Zhenghe set off at the beginning of November in the fifth year, the north wind was whistling, a heavy snow, the sky and the earth were white, if it were not for the trees and houses, it was easy for people to forget where they were.

On November 26, Hua Rong finally arrived in Zezhou with 3,000 musket battalion men.

The 50,000 Yan army was stationed on the flat land 30 miles away from Zezhou, covering an area of nearly 10 li, and 18 camps were built before and after.

Lin Chong's army was stationed in the center.

Lin Chong, as a captain, is a good product, higher than Hua Rong.

But after Lin Chong received the herald's message, he took Qin Ming's main generals to greet him at the door in person.

Seeing Lin Weishuai from a distance that he went out to greet him, Hua Rong didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly stepped forward.

After a dozen or twenty steps, he dismounted early. Walking over quickly, Hua Rong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Sin, sin, let the palace marshal wait in this cold!" ”

Lin Chong smiled and said, "Brother Hua said that. It's windy outside, go, follow me into the camp. I've called for a feast! ”

Since Lin Chong said so, Hua Rong couldn't refuse. Besides, he is a captain, and he can be said to be in a high position in Dayan Kingdom.

His sister and nephew may have to rely on his help to stabilize their positions in the future.

Hua Rong was half a step behind and said, "Lin Dianshuai, please first!" ”

Lin Chong pulled Hua Rong and walked towards the handsome tent together. "You and I are ministers in the same palace, how can we divide up and down? Walk! ”

In the handsome tent, there are two desks in the center, and five desks are lined up on both sides.

Lin Chong pulled Hua Rong to sit down left and right, and the generals Qin Ming, Huang Xin and other generals who followed behind each chose their own positions and sat down according to their official positions.

Although it is expressly forbidden to prohibit alcohol in the army, it is not a battlefield on this cold day. What's more, it's just a pot of wine for one person.

Even the military commander would not be bored at this time, and even he took a wine glass and drank a few glasses to warm his body.

After three rounds of wine, Qin Ming drank a few glasses of wine, looked at the wine glass and said, "This ghost weather, if you don't have this thing, I really don't know how to survive!" ”

Huang Xinkou said: "However, there are still few of us, and those scouts and secret sentinels rely on this thing to survive in the middle of the night." This thing that the Holy Lord asked people to brew back then was really a great blessing! ”

Hua Rong said with a smile: "The Holy Lord knows that everyone is working hard, and when Hua Rong came this time, he also ordered Hua Rong to bring more than a dozen carts of burning knives to cheer you on." ”

Lin Chong heard that he hurriedly arched his hand in the direction of Dading Mansion and said: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the ministers should sacrifice their lives to serve the country!" I don't know if the Holy Lord sent General Hua to come, is there anything else to explain? ”

Hua Rong has always been in the rear, but now he sent his brother-in-law to come, so Lin Chong couldn't help but think about it. Does this want Hua Rong to gild, or does he want to suppress himself and increase Hua Rong's prestige casually?

Hua Rong was not a stupid person, he didn't want to push Lin Chong to his opposite. He hurriedly explained: "Actually, this time, the Holy Lord sent the last general to come specifically to verify a new weapon! ”

When Lin Chong heard this, he said casually: "Oh, what a new weapon, let the saint attach so much importance to it!" ”

Validating a new weapon? actually let you Hua Rong come, Lin Chong didn't believe it very much.

Hua Rong looked at Lin Chong's appearance and knew that the other party didn't believe it, he thought for a while and said: "The tactics of this musket battalion have not yet been determined, and Lin Dianshuai is also a veteran, so it is better to watch it together." Understand the performance of this musket, and you can better cooperate with the army! ”

In the official document sent by the Ministry of War, Lin Chong knew that the Holy Lord had asked Tang Long to create a new weapon, named it a musket. But he didn't know exactly what the musket looked like or what its power was.

Now when he heard Hua Rong say that he wanted to practice the musket, Lin Chong replied: "Okay, this handsome man just saw the power of this musket respected by the Holy Lord!" ”

I didn't drink anymore, and all the generals walked out of the tent with Lin Chong and Hua Rong to watch the drill of the musket battalion.

In the training ground, the 3,000 musket battalions brought by Hua Rong lined up in three teams, and in front of them, a hundred paces away, rows of wooden stakes were erected. There is also an arrow target behind the stake.

Hua Rong stood on the side of the Musket Battalion and shouted, "Get on the ammunition!" ”

The soldiers of the musket battalion immediately took out the paper shells from their satchels, bit them, and put them into the muskets......

Seeing that the ammunition was basically followed, Hua Rong shouted: "Raise your gun in the first row and shoot!" ”

Instantly, the first row made a "bang, bang, bang......" sound, and smoke and fire came out of the muzzles.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crackling sound on the stakes, the wood chips shattered, and even a few stakes were directly broken and fell to the ground.

Before Lin Chong and the others reacted from their stunned eyes, they only heard Hua Rong shouting, "Squat down in the first row and load the ammunition." Second row shooting! ”

Another round of shooting.

After only a breath, Hua Rong was heard shouting: "The second row squats down and loads the ammunition." Third row, shoot! ”

……

There was already a long burst of smoke floating from the position of the musket battalion, and Lin Chong and the others could no longer see the operation of the musketeers at all. But the gunfire did not stop, and the bullets continued to fly.

The stake has been completely broken.

Eight, nine, ten, fifteen rounds. The musket battalion then stopped firing.

When Lin Chong just wanted to go up to check the situation of the arrow target, he only heard Hua Rong roar angrily: "Get on the bayonet!" ”

Whoosh......

The sound of the knife being drawn and the knife being drawn for a moment sounded.

With a click, Hua Rong's voice sounded again, shouting, "Charge!" ”

I saw 3,000 musketeers rushing out of the smoke, carrying muskets with bayonets in their hands, and rushing forward.

Rushing to the target, he stabbed it with a musket.

Originally, the target was already in tatters after being destroyed by bullets, but now it was directly pierced and collapsed, falling to the ground and falling to pieces.

Even the musketeers in the back two rows did not have a chance to shoot at all.

But Hua Rong didn't care, anyway, this exercise was for Lin Chong and them to realize the power of this musket, thinking that he would understand that he didn't want to grab his position this time, and that the saint just wanted to hold this musket battalion in his hands!

Wait until Hua Rong shouted: "Take the bayonet and reline!" ”

With the order, the musketeers immediately removed the bayonets from the muzzle and lined up according to the training that had been going on day and night since joining the army.

Lin Chong walked over with a grim expression, first looking at the smashed wooden stakes and arrow targets.

picked up a target and looked at the target that was pierced by a bullet, and was even more speechless with surprise.

That's a hundred steps away!

The piercing power of the arrows is actually a bit unsatisfactory, especially when the soldiers are wearing armor, it is difficult to bring great lethality.

Otherwise, in history, Xiahou Hui would not have been shot in the eye by an arrow, and he still did not die, and he could continue to fight.

In the Battle of Xiaoshang River, Yang Zaixing could still fight without sticking arrows all over his body. After death, after entering the body and burning the body, a total of two liters of arrows were obtained.

A hundred steps, the average arrow flying here basically has no spare strength, and there is no strength to hit the target at all.

But the bullet of this musket can still shoot through the target, but how strong the penetration of this bullet should be.

In addition to the huge power of the accident, this rate of fire is also very, especially under the three-stage shooting, it can be said that it is continuous.

In terms of the rate of fire alone, the bow and arrow can be said to be definitely faster than this musket in a short time.

But it takes a lot of effort to pull the bow and arrows, and if you pull the bow seven or eight times in a row, basically the archer's hands will be sore, and it will be difficult to even pick up the bow and arrow.

Moreover, the range and power of the bow and arrow are completely inferior to that of the musket, and the enemy can only be dealt a heavy blow by relying on saturation attack and using a rain of arrows.

The hit rate of this musket is not very high, and the rate of fire is a little worse. But the three-stage shooting makes up for this shortcoming.

Coupled with this range and power, Lin Chong thought in his mind that if the enemy attacked, even if the other party was cavalry, under this continuous attack, he was afraid that it would collapse!

What's more, our army still has powerful weapons such as artillery, if this musket is matched with artillery, Lin Chong felt a burst of fear when he thought of that scene.

Looking at the musket battalion that looked neatly lined up, Lin Chong sighed. I don't know why the Holy Lord would let a Pingbei general, his brother-in-law, be in charge of a musket battalion of only 3,000 people.

Although there are only 3,000 men, as long as there is enough ammunition, I am afraid that it can only withstand ten times the enemy!

Thinking that these 3,000 people can reach more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. Lin Chong was excited again.

Now that Lin Chong is dispelling the news that the Holy Lord is going to send Hua Rong to replace him, he is excited that with these more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, he will be even more sure that he will take Yan Yun by himself.

Now Yanyun's various forces are complicated, and there is a Liao army led by Yelu Dashi, the left-behind general of Nanjing of Liao, to sit in Youzhou.

At the same time, in order to expand the soldiers and horses, the lord of Liao has issued an order to recruit the hungry people from all over the Liao country, named the "resentment army", and divided it into eight battalions of 28,000 people, including the Qianyi battalion, the Houyi battalion, the Qianjin battalion, the Houjin battalion, the Qianxian battalion, the Xian battalion, and the Yanzhou battalion.

Now there are nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses under Yelu Dashi of Liao.

Moreover, in addition to the Liao army, although Tong Guan's army was defeated, he now gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Danzhou, eyeing him.

As long as he sees the defeat of the Liao State, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack the Liao State and seize the city.

Lin Chong only had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the most important thing was that Shi Jingang occupied Liaozhong, so he needed soldiers and horses to defend Liao and Jin, and Liaodong also needed soldiers and horses to guard against Goryeo.

In a short period of time, there is no way to send troops to support Lin Chong.

Lin Chong could only rely on his own ability, relying on an army of 50,000 to defeat Yelu Dashi, and at the same time, he had to guard against Tong Guan's fisherman profit.

Now with Hua Rong, a musket battalion worth 30,000 soldiers and horses, it has greatly alleviated his predicament of soldiers and horses.

Lin Chong arched his hand and said: "With the help of General Hua, this time Ben Shuai is more confident in winning Yan Yun!" General Hua can be said to have just solved Ben Shuai's urgent need! ”

Hua Rong also hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the Holy Sect was originally going to assist Lin Dianshuai."

Lin Chong walked over, took the musket in the hand of a soldier and looked at it, turned his head and said, "With such a sharp weapon, why can't you defeat the Liao army and capture Yanyun." No wonder the Holy One wants you to take charge of this musket camp! ”

Hua Rong arched his hand and said: "I think it's because the last general has always trained archers, which is just convenient for training this musketeer!" ”

Regarding Hua Rong's explanation, Lin Chong didn't believe it. Pang Wanchun is also responsible for training archers, why didn't the Holy Lord choose him to be in charge.

But it's heartbreaking to say such things!

Lin Chong handed the musket back to the musketeer, stretched out his hand and signaled, "It's windy outside, let's go in and continue drinking!" ”

The group sat down again, and Lin Chong said cautiously: "Although the musket battalion is very powerful, the number of people is a little less after all. After several years of training for the whole army, they have completely adapted to the formation. If you let the whole army accompany you to change the formation, I am afraid that the commander will not be able to master the new formation in a short time. Although it is said that it is not suitable to dispatch in the cold and freezing now, our army will be dispatched at the beginning of spring next year. It is unrealistic to expect the whole army to train new formations at this time. The commander's opinion is to let the artillery battalion train with you. After you take down Yanyun, let the other soldiers cooperate with you in training. What do you think of this, General Flower? ”

Hua Rong nodded and said, "This is a good idea, just do it according to the palace marshal's wishes!" Palace, I'm going to trouble you next! ”

Lin Chong hurriedly said: "Without further ado, starting tomorrow, I will let the artillery battalion fully cooperate with you." It's up to you to preside over the training of the new book formation! ”

Hua Rong understood what the saint meant, and said unequivocally: "This is a matter that will be within the responsibility of the general, and it is my duty!" ”
