Wen Tianxiang picked up the monocular to look at it like the Jinghu envoy, it was the first time he used this object, his hands were a little shaky, so the picture in the monocular was also a little shaky, but this did not affect him to see the distance clearly.

He saw that the soldiers were smashing the stakes at a rapid pace, and then hanging the iron wires back and forth on them, and he knew that this must be an iron horse used to hold back the Tatars------ but it was not a whole line, but it was divided into several sections!

He was a little puzzled, so he asked Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu.

"Perform well, if there is only one iron line, the other party may desperately break through, if you add two or three ways, it will be a waste of time, if it is divided into several sections before and after, as long as the speed of the other party is blocked, hum, they will all be targets!

Besides, if there is a gap, my cavalry brigade will also be easy to attack!! ”

At this time, Wen Tianxiang saw two groups of cavalry quietly appear in the position, and they quietly watched the other soldiers quickly set up artillery and stone cannons.

At the same time, about a thousand soldiers trotted behind the artillery and stone cannons in a neat row, and they stood in six rows cleanly.

Wen Tianxiang had already seen the report on the rocket from the "Liuqiu Times", and he asked again: "Why not set up a rocket?" ”

"Hehe, the Tatars only came with three thousand horsemen, it's too wasteful to use rockets!"

At this moment, a rider opened a leather bag that was being carried crossbody, which contained a table clock.

"The report, so far, has taken a total of three hours and twenty minutes!"

Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan smile and said, "Okay! Next time, if it reaches three hours, I'll get a prize! ”

Him: "The 600 cavalry came from the cavalry camp 20 miles away, and the 1,000 musketeers and 500 engineers and artillerymen came from another barracks 10 miles away----- they would never know my orders beforehand, and now they can assemble in three hours, and they can finish arranging the battlefield and perform well, what do you think?" ”

Wen Tianxiang thought about the five hundred townsmen he carried, the time it took them from gathering to setting off couldn't be compared at all----- people are the main army!

Wen Tianxiang praised himself and said, "Can my Imperial Front Firearms Battalion of the Great Song Dynasty reach such an extent?!" ”

Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu Manufacturing, said: "Well------ of course this is stronger than us!" ”

But in his heart, he thought that the firearms battalion was just a playmate of the official family, and it was okay to bully those uncivilized people in the Southern Barbarians, but it was not as good as the soldiers under his command who had personally been to the Shandong region to fight in turn.

Talking and laughing, the time of four hours is up.

Wen Tianxiang saw someone waving a tricolor signal flag and shouting something.

The exercise officially began.

Suddenly, the artillery roared, and the stone cannon swung desperately up and down, throwing one iron ball after another------ two hundred meters in front of the iron wire net was completely like a rain of bullets.

Two hundred meters away, the earth was kicked up with a cloud of dust, and immediately there was another explosion, and the explosive force of one fireball after another seemed to send the dust into the air.

The whole scene is simply shaking!

After that, the six rows of soldiers moved in unison like puppets, and they took turns to shoot and burst into a neat row of smoke, and then they took turns to go down to the last row to reload, seemingly unaffected by the explosion!

Wen Tianxiang's heart shook in the distance, and his hands trembled even more, but he saw that the six hundred war horses were very quiet, and only occasionally saw a war horse shaving a few hooves.

It seems that they have been on the battlefield for a long time!

Wen Tianxiang praised: "Even an iron man made of good iron can't withstand such a rain of bullets!" ”

Then, after the firearms were firearmed, the tricolor signal flag began to wave again.

I saw that the two groups of cavalry rushed out of the two gaps like mercury, and disappeared into the battlefield filled with gunpowder in a few minutes.

Wen Tianxiang knew that they were practicing to pursue the enemy cavalry.

On the way back to the camp, Wen Tianxiang was full of praise, and he honestly admitted that he took 500 Xiangyong to the north to die.

Along the way, Lu Wenhuan listened to his admiration with a smile and did not say a word.

He thought to himself, Jia Pingzhang really has a vision, this person is not just a weak scholar------ some places are still to the point.

returned to Yinghuan and arranged a table of banquets, and the two talked happily.

The sake is coconut wine from Liuqiu Island, and it is crisp and strong.

The dishes that accompany the wine are mainly mountain delicacies, supplemented by river fish, but there are two of Wen Tianxiang's favorite dishes, one is spicy tofu and the other is fried peanuts.

Two kerosene gas lamps illuminated the tent and made it extraordinarily warm.

Wen Tianxiang said: "If it is winter in the north, every soldier will hang such a lamp in his tent, why be afraid of the cold?!" ”

Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan laugh, when he was training in the field last month, he happened to arrange his subordinates to ------ this person loves soldiers, and it is really good!

After three cups of wine and five flavors.

Lu Wenhuan, the envoy of Jinghu Formation, said: "Do you want to do good, do you think it is okay to use my soldiers and horses to go on a northern expedition?" ”

Wen Tianxiang said with a straight face: "With this divine soldier, the general will win a hundred battles!" ”

"Hehe, Lushan, you have never led a soldier, I don't blame you------ if you preset the battlefield to meet the enemy soldiers, even if there are thousands of troops, I dare to win!

If I am in the plains, how can I guard against it, my left, right and rear?!

What would I do if the enemy attacked me suddenly?! ”

Wen Tianxiang lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Use a two-wheeled van!" Don't ask to wrap it in iron, as long as you can temporarily connect end to end and stop the enemy horseman, you can ------ our army to fight back sharply! ”

Hehe, this person really has insight, and a scholar even knows that my Great Song Dynasty has used the Gang Array.

Chariots have been used on a large scale as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and are generally used to impact the enemy's formation in wartime, breaking through the enemy's formation with its rapid superiority and impact power, and laying the foundation for the follow-up troops to win victory.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the use of chariots was usually the magic weapon for the princes to win, but in the late Warring States period, with the gradual increase of the role of cavalry crossbows, the use of chariots was quite threatened, and the restrictions of the chariot application environment, mobility was not strong, and it could only be widely used in the northern plains.

But in the period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the chariot once returned to the historical stage and once again served as the main magic weapon of the army, the main reason was that the northern and southern regimes had a long-term confrontation and constant warfare, and the southern regime was generally difficult to resist the attack of the northern iron cavalry, so it used to arrange the vehicle formation to resist the cavalry This route, but at this time, the type and role of the chariot have undergone great changes, and the active attack on the enemy formation in the past began to become a simple defensive weapon, and the chariot formation surrounded by the chariot blocked the cavalry.

In that year, the Great Song Dynasty once used the van array in Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Jinghu made Lu Wenhuan laugh a few times, he became interested, and immediately ordered someone to bring some objects to Wen Tianxiang to see.

Wen Tianxiang also laughed after reading it. 8)
