In the west of Nanjing these days, there are cannon shots from time to time, and the mobile phone is the most traffic-saving, ad-free site.

The Ming army enclosed a ten-mile radius of open space in the western suburbs as a place for the confrontation of the army, and the surrounding area was blocked, but the people were not forbidden to watch from a distance.

There are reasons and trends for the spiritual development of a nation.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts have become inevitable, and this contempt is not that after a scale, the whole society will stop, but because of the huge inertia, the status of the martial arts has been bottomed out, and then it can rebound.

The state is not like an individual, it is a huge society, and people can turn it immediately, but if a huge society wants to turn around, it is not a policy, a decree can be changed immediately.

At present, the leftist ideological trend in Western countries is also about to go to an extreme, and various problems have emerged, but it is still a posture of not hitting the southern wall and not looking back, which shows the huge inertia of society.

Wang Yan did not blockade, but also to let the people and scholars take a look, and gradually elevate the status of the army.

At this time, in the demarcated area, two teams of thousands of people were confronting, one of them was Wusheng commanded by Liu Wenxiu, and the other was 5,000 people from Zhongyong Town led by Dai Zhifan.

During the drill a few days ago, Li Guo underestimated Wusheng and thought that Wusheng's weapons were not reasonable enough and he had no ability to fight in close combat.

This general born in the peasant army still believed more in hand-to-hand combat to break the enemy, but in the process of the exercise, he took the initiative to attack the Wusheng team and was soon defeated.

Almost as Liu Shun said, the Wusheng team relied on the rapid-fire bronze cannon, two miles away, and began to attack Li Guo's department, and when they rushed to the front, they then lined up the guns to bombard, and the referee of the drill judged that Li Guo's front was chaotic, and only the cavalry rushed out, and Li Guo was defeated.

This made Dai Zhifan and others pay attention to it, and when they thought about it carefully, they only knew that it was very difficult to do.

Wusheng was originally an elite recommended by various ministries, at least they were all officers above the small flag, and some were even hundreds of households.

They were armed with the latest self-generated guns of the Ming Dynasty, field bronze cannons, and extremely defensive cuirasses.

The best people, together with the best and latest equipment, formed an army of 5,000 men, which can be said to be the strongest combat power of the Ming army, and is a model of integrating the advantages of various departments.

On the drill field, the artillery team of the Wusheng team, dragged by the war horse, moved forward rapidly, raising a cloud of dust, they were very fast, overtaking the infantry army, and showing great maneuverability.

At this time, the Wusheng artillery team quickly occupied a high ground, and the gunners pulled the bolts, pulled the war horses to the back, and then straightened the artillery, and soon set up the artillery, and began to bombard the enemy.

Recognizing the situation, Dai Zhifan chose to go on the defensive, and pulled his army behind a hillside to avoid Wusheng's artillery.

Seeing that the other party was on the defensive, Liu Wenxiu did not hesitate and began to take the initiative to attack, and the Wusheng phalanx with a red background and a black dragon flag began to move forward.

The firecrackers in front of the phalanx formed a horizontal formation and moved forward in a line, the drums and flutes sounded rhythmically in the formation, and the warriors approached the enemy formation in the sound of light music.

After the infantry march, a thousand cavalry marched slowly, and the front infantry formation was lined up in three rows of horizontal formations with a thousand men each, and there was a gap between each formation, which could be used for the cavalry to rush forward directly, and of course it was also possible to bypass the infantry formation.

Dai Zhifan, who was hiding in the north of the hill, was completely in a passive posture, and in the distant stands, Gao Yigong frowned, "I think, if you want to deal with the horizontal formation, you have to have cavalry!" As he spoke, a team of nearly a thousand people on the north side of the hill rushed out in a roundabout way, and instead of attacking the front of the horizontal formation, they bypassed the horizontal formation, wanting to raid the artillery array and knock out the dozen or so bronze cannons that had been suppressing them.

At the moment when more than 1,000 people were dispatched, Wusheng's cavalry was divided into half, and the rushing infantry could only form a formation on the spot, and at this time, the artillery on the hillside immediately adjusted and aimed at the rushing infantry army.

The cavalry wandered out, watching the rushing infantry form a formation, but they did not harass.

At this time, the artillery array began to bombard the infantry in formation, which made the infantry in formation immediately fall into a dilemma. If they moved, attacking the artillery array, the cavalry would definitely attack them, but they formed a formation, and they could only be bombarded by shells incessantly.

After a while, the referee immediately ruled that the formation had failed, and the infantry was chaotic, and the cavalry wandering outside immediately pounced, and the referee immediately judged that the 1,000-foot army was destroyed.

Wang Yan saw this thoughtfully, and said to the left and right: "This tactic is very good, if you form an artillery team, with the movement of the cavalry, when you encounter the enemy's infantry, you will use the range advantage to set up artillery bombardment, disrupt the enemy's infantry formation, and then the cavalry will rush, won't you immediately kill the enemy soldiers without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned, and then they talked about it.

The Ming army is known for its infantry army, and everyone listened to Wang Yan's words, and couldn't help but be surprised, thinking about how to deal with this situation if they encountered it.

Outside the exercise venue in the distance, Fu Younian had been watching it for several days, and today he was also hidden in the crowd, watching the Ming army's drill, noting down every detail, and recording them one by one after he went back.

At this time, the generals on the stage had already started to discuss, some said that they could only "use artillery to make artillery," while others thought that they should "use cavalry to make artillery." Wang Yan also pondered and inquired about the training of the horse army.

The victory or defeat on the drill field seemed to be no longer important, and everyone became active at once, but while they were talking, a group of cavalry galloped in the distance, led by a blue-robed official, and as soon as he stopped his horse, he grabbed the hem of the official robe with one hand and walked up to the high platform.

Wang Yan was talking to someone, and the blue-robed official hurriedly walked up to him, saluted, and whispered.

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and looked at the green-robed official with some surprise, "What did you say?" ”

"Your Highness, the mission to Japan was attacked by Japan, and the main courtyard of the Imperial Court fell into the hands of Japan, and only Xu Junsheng, the general of the Navy, escaped back with a lucky boat." The green-robed official hurriedly said,

Wang Yan's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "Tokugawa Ietsuna's head was caught by the door, attacking our mission? ”

Wang Yan felt inexplicable for a while, the Japanese shogunate was so keen on trade with China, and the relations between the two countries could not slowly return to normal, what was wrong with the Tokugawa family, and why did they attack the mission sent by the Ming Dynasty to negotiate trade.

The official hurriedly said: "The specific situation, the lower officials don't know much about it, Xu Junsheng has just arrived in Chongming, and only he knows the specific situation!" ”

"Send a fast horse to summon him to Nanjing immediately, and I want to ask him personally!" Wang Yan frowned and immediately waved his hand.

Seeing this, the surrounding generals couldn't help but quiet down.
