Chapter 219: Leveraging Strength
Several people here are all witnesses of the Fengyang incident, and they are worried that the Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Sect will not give up, and maybe they will snatch them away and force them to ask for confessions, after all, the earth-shattering incident happened at the beginning, and these two sects will definitely do everything possible to find out the truth.
Besides, I thought that this was an opportunity for a showdown with various sects, but I never thought that there was a convention on the rivers and lakes, to give the emperor a son, and not to engage in large-scale battles in the capital. In this way, he was too worried, and those people came back to recuperate, not for him.
The two factions first suffered a great injury in Fengyang, and then chased Xiaojun for tens of thousands of miles, it was impossible to lose a lot, and finally they were deceived overseas, and those who could come back in the end must be the highest masters of kung fu.
Murong Yanran took Jiuniang back, and the remaining three began to drink.
"Jun, don't you have a sense of crisis?" Besides, he asked.
"Sense of crisis? What's that? ”
"It's just that if you sense the approach of danger, those people will really be honest, and they won't chase you for thousands of miles with your ass?" Besides, he asked, drinking wine.
"Of course it will, there is no need to think about it, but this time I suddenly have a feeling that those people are not targeting you now, and then I will not be in danger." Jun laughed.
"I said you can't lose it, isn't this to blame Dongwu?" Besides, it's not afraid, it's useless to be afraid.
"What does it have to do with me, it's not like this. Well, you're in a crisis, aren't you? Jun smiled and groaned.
"I do have a sense of crisis, but I'm not afraid at all, I don't know why."
Moreover, he admitted that when he heard that this Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Gate had entered Beijing City, he did suddenly feel the crisis, none of those people were easy to deal with, but he might have to face a bunch of them.
What he can count on here is Murong Yanran and Xiaojun, against such masters, Zhou Dingcheng and Jiu Niang can only be reduced to spectators, of course he must be the main victim.
"Why don't I go out and let off steam, just say that you are the illegitimate son of the former emperor, the evidence is conclusive, will they not dare to touch you? Anyway, there is a lot of talk in the market. Jun grimaced and grinned.
"Nonsense!" Besides, I'm so angry.
Zhou Dingcheng didn't say anything, just laughed and drank a big cup.
Spring is blooming, gardenias are fragrant, and it was supposed to be the best season of the year, but now the scenery is ruined by this bad news.
Besides, he wanted to move, but he couldn't find a good way, and he couldn't find out where those people from the Ancestor Protector Sect were hiding, otherwise he would really take people to visit from house to house, even if he didn't do it, he had to get acquainted with it first.
As for the people of the empty Daomen, he doesn't think about it, he can't find it at all, unless Xiao Jun makes great efforts to find it, but let Xiao Jun attack the people of his original Daomen, there should still be a big psychological obstacle.
"The remnants of the White Lotus Sect have entered the city, and there are a few big shots." Besides, he went to the Jinyiwei headquarters early in the morning to find Liu Shouyou and tell him the news.
"Accurate message?" Liu Shouyou's expression perked up.
"Of course, someone saw it with their own eyes."
"Okay, do you know which big names they are?"
Liu Shouyou did not doubt the accuracy of the news, the news of the three assassins was provided, but unfortunately he couldn't catch it himself, but he still made a great contribution, and of course he was rewarded by the emperor.
"I don't know the details yet." Besides, shake your head.
"Okay, I'll send all the men out, find out their tracks as soon as possible, and catch them all. I will also inform the Admiral of the Nine Gates and the Shuntian Mansion. ”
"Forget it, let's do it ourselves, I heard that these two yamen are inextricably linked with them." Besides, to put it mildly.
"Oh, yes, yes, let's do it ourselves. I also said to the palace and asked them to send more people. Your suspicions are reasonable, the last time you opened a big net to arrest those three assassins, but let them run away out of thin air, I still wonder if you are right, those two yamen may really be suspicious. ”
The White Lotus Sect is the sworn enemy of the imperial court, and it is of course the duty of the Jinyi Guard to investigate them.
Besides, he has only trained the troops, and there are no professionals in this area, so he has to let Liu Shouyou take action in this investigation, as for the credit or something, of course he doesn't want to, what he wants is just to grasp the line of the White Lotus Sect and bring the people of the Ancestor Protector Sect in.
He didn't suspect that the people of the Ancestor Protector Sect were involved in the White Lotus Sect, but if he didn't, he wouldn't be able to do things in a way that would mobilize the people, as long as he could catch some people from the White Lotus Sect, he would have a way to implicate the people of the Ancestor Protector Sect.
When you go to the land of Jinyiwei, you say that you are guilty is guilty, and if you are not guilty, everyone is guilty, why don't you have it?
After explaining to Liu Shouyou, he went to the school field to train his troops, Qi Jiguang had returned to Jizhen, where the situation had become a little tense, and he had to go back to the town to guard the border in case of emergency.
Fortunately, the training methods that should be taught have been taught, and now they are training day by day according to the methods taught by Qi Jiguang.
In the morning, the cavalry assault was a long snake formation.
The cavalry was the elite soldiers of the two provinces, and their task was to break through the long snake formation.
On an open field, the elite soldiers of the two provinces launched an attack, and more than 400 horses trampled on the ground, like thunder, and the sound was terrifying.
This kind of cavalry's short impact is the most difficult to defend against the infantry, Yue Fei created the abduction array, that is, to choose brave infantry to rush to the front of the horse, specifically with a machete to cut the horse's legs, the horse's legs are broken, the cavalry on horseback will naturally fall down, to the ground, the cavalry's combat effectiveness is not as good as the infantry.
It sounds easy, but staring at the huge impact of the cavalry and rolling in front of the fast-moving horses is particularly dangerous, so to speak, life hangs by a thread, and it really requires great courage and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice.
This kind of tactics reminds me of the scenes of rushing to the tank with *bags and clusters* to blow up tanks, in fact, it is really the same, it is all the work of sacrificing their lives to assault the death squad.
However, Qi Jiguang's improved one-word long snake formation withstood the test and withstood the cavalry of the two provinces. Of course, this is also due to the small number of cavalry, only 400 cavalry, but 3,000 people are used in the long snake formation.
Although the difference in numbers is more than seven times, if it is not for the use of formations, 3,000 infantry may not be able to withstand the impact of 400 elite cavalry, a cavalry legion is about 10,000 people, but the infantry can be organized into 100,000 or 200,000 people.
The elite cavalry of the nomads outside the Saiwai almost never exceeds 500,000, too much to be able to support, while the strength of the Central Plains Empire can reach two million, but in history, the Central Plains Empire has mostly taken a defensive position in the wars outside the Saiwai, and it has more defeats and fewer victories, because the infantry has no advantage in fighting with the cavalry, and the formation must be used to reduce losses.
If it weren't for this, there would be no need for the past dynasties to spend countless manpower and material resources to continuously build and strengthen the Great Wall, and the total number of troops of the Central Plains Empire would always have an absolute advantage in terms of the number of troops.
After the two sides finished the drill, they all returned to the team and stood in formation, and their kind of real confrontation drill has begun for a while, and today's main thing is to conduct a drill and review.
"Well, it's not bad."
Besides, he nodded. He could see that both sides were working very hard to practice, just like actual combat, no one deliberately waterproofed, and no one cheated.
"My lord, we have too few people, it's not that we're not strong enough." Sun Hu said aggrievedly.
"What are you wronged, this is just a test of the strength of the formation's resistance, not a test of the ability of your people." Besides.
Sun Hu smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.
In recent days, the elite soldiers of the two provinces have always been ridiculed by those infantry, saying that they are not worthy of their name, and if they really want to fight, they can completely eat the elite soldiers of the two provinces.
The elite soldiers of the two prefectures naturally ridiculed each other, saying that the number was disproportionate, if it was one to one, what a long snake formation would definitely be affected by them.
Besides, I also heard these remarks and ignored them, these infantry are all cadets, and they have been repaired very badly by the elite soldiers of the two provinces before, and they should be angry. As for the grievances of the elite soldiers of the two governments, he didn't pay attention to them at all, people can't always have the upper hand, and it is good to suffer a little loss.
Then it was a confrontation drill, a combination of various formations, a combination of various formations, a combination of infantry and cavalry, a combination of infantry and cavalry, a combination of the Shenji battalion, etc., and the most exciting thing was to see the infantry, cavalry and the gunners and artillery of the Shenji battalion all cooperating together, and there was indeed an invincible momentum.
Three musketeers? Hehe.
Is this the kind of musketeer that the musketeer? He felt that it should be.
At that time, the kings of Europe were fighting against each other, although the firecrackers were used in large quantities, the proportion should still be small, and more likely to be large spears and archers, and the firecrackers were particularly glorious, and they were called musketeers, right?
What lancers, dragoons, should still be cavalry with spears, and then slowly have firearms and even carbines in later generations.
Besides, while watching, while reverie, his thoughts crossed from the suburbs of Beijing to Europe at that time, but unfortunately he was not familiar with the European history of this period, not that he did not read much, but the European history of this period was not only very chaotic, but also serious falsification, many of which were forged and fabricated by later generations.
What if the whole country's army had such equipment and such a lineup?
It's a pity that this can only be an illusion, and the annual treasury income is nothing to do, and it can only support 100,000 such troops. The elite soldiers outside the Cyprus are generally less than 100,000 but less than 200,000, which is not only a limitation of the population base, but also a limitation of financial resources.
Generally speaking, ten people to support one soldier is a more appropriate ratio, if it is very often, it can be doubled, and it is the peak. The Ming Dynasty has a population of 20 million, and it can support two million troops at most, but it still can't be done well.
Seeing the power he had, he had confidence in his heart, and he even didn't understand why Qi Jiguang was still not optimistic about his future mission at all, could it be that the pirates were really so difficult to fight? Can you eat such a good army of yourself?
Now his left and right goose wings are lined up with two rows of knife and axe hands, the knife hand is still wearing an embroidered spring knife, and the axe hand is really wearing a small golden axe, and when he first saw it, he was a little ridiculous, isn't this the axe gang on the beach?
Although he reads historical novels such as the Three Kingdoms, they all say that there are knife and axe players in the barracks, but in fact, he doesn't know if there are really them, and he didn't ask Qi Jiguang about this, but even if there are executioners who enforce military law, they don't necessarily have to use knives and axes, right? In particular, these small golden axes are far more ornamental than practical to wield.
Of course, these knife and axe hands were also issued to real big axes, and there are ten pairs of axes, which are said to be used in the future to build the military gate, and the halberd, which is also inserted in the gate of the military gate, so the gate of the military camp is also called the halberd gate.
