The author's note---Just as the modern tank is the king of land warfare, in the ancient infantry confrontation, the cavalry is the king of land warfare.

Continuously shot by the strong bow bureau, the musket bureau, and the crossbow bureau, the local rioters were shot dead and injured many people for a while, although there are still fierce people who continue to charge forward, but the vast majority of people know that they have fallen into the trap, and many people's greatest wish is to turn the horse's head and flee the battlefield.

As the saying goes, it's better to turn around when a boat is small, and it is quite difficult for such a large number of cavalry to turn around and escape in the mountain road.

The two fierce horsemen slapped their horses and continued to charge forward, and just after rushing more than ten paces, the musketeers in the front row attacked again.

Taking the lit arquebus from the rear musketeer, the front musketeer re-aims and fires again.

This time it was a salvo of muskets in the true sense of the word, and the flames burst out of the barrels almost at the same time, and with the sound of gunpowder explosions, the lead pierced through the smoke in front of them, and several horses in front fell in response, and the whole scene was very shocking. (The musketeers have a short training time, and in addition to the first time they go into battle, they can only use Mu Ying's stacking formation, not a three-stage salvo.)

In addition, due to the excessively complicated loading action of the musket, many gunners reloading sequence, incorrect loading action, and no successful launch, etc., it is difficult for the general bird gun team on the battlefield to successfully release the gun).

Seeing that there were many muskets and crossbows in front, they were completely suppressed by muskets and crossbows, and several people were killed and injured in just a few steps, and those behind saw that the situation was not good.

The army was defeated, and the local tyrant cavalry was shot dead and wounded several people.

Seeing the heavy casualties, the six teams of horses of the leader of the local riots were so angry that they shouted, although they wanted to turn around and fight again, but the long-range weapons of the officers and soldiers were too sharp, and the terrain of the hilly slopes everywhere was not conducive to the cavalry fighting, and finally led the tribe to flee after a fight.

Counting the casualties, more than ten local riot cavalrymen were killed and killed in this battle, and more than seven or eight were captured, including more than a dozen war horses, and except for four or five wounded soldiers, none of them died, and won a hearty victory. (The reason why the Qi family army was able to achieve zero casualties was mainly because after the opponent was defeated by dense bird guns or bows and crossbows in advance, the whole army rushed up to kill it, plus a five-person battle group formed by the Mandarin Duck Formation, or each battle group formed by the Sancai Formation.) ）

Everyone was happy, and everyone high-fived and celebrated.

Yang Lin also woke up from the shock of the cavalry's fierce charge, although he used to see the cavalry charge scene in movies and TV series, but it was completely different from the actual experience on the battlefield.

Although the horses are mostly inferior horses, although the horsemen are not good at riding, most of them can not ride and shoot flexibly on horseback, although they are in the hilly terrain of northern Sichuan, but nearly 100 war horses flock to it, on the rugged mountain road like a galloping small tricycle, the sound of horses' hooves is bursting, and the dust is full of sky, and the shock can be imagined.

Looking back on the battlefield process again, if you don't lead your troops to openly lure the enemy, if you don't stand up to stabilize the army's heart, if you are on flat ground, if more than half of the Tyrant cavalry can shoot on horseback, if there are not so many ......archers in the army, as long as these combinations are missing, the battlefield situation will be reversed, and you will fall into a bitter battle on the battlefield, or be defeated by the Tyrant cavalry.

With a long sigh, Yang Lin had to admit that in ancient times, cavalry was indeed the king of land warfare, unless a dense formation was formed, unless the war horse was restricted, unless it was equipped with too many archers, it would be a complete defeat in the face of cavalry and infantry.

Fortunately, Yang Lin felt the danger of the work of the commander of the ancient musket team, and in order to improve the morale of the troops and ensure the shooting effect, the commander needed to stand in front and command loudly without fear of risk.

Although wearing a layer of chain mail and a layer of cotton armor on the body can protect against ordinary bows and crossbow arrows, it is too dangerous to risk arrows in every battle.

In the past, it was thought that the musket salvo was just to ensure continuous shooting, but the battlefield test found that there was probably a resonance effect, that is, the power of the salvo was greater than the sum of the shooting power of all guns.

In addition to the volley of muskets, the most frustrating thing is that there are always two or three percent of soldiers who make mistakes and cannot let go of their guns.

Yang Lin summoned everyone and once again instilled the reason why the whole body obeyed the order, instilled the principle of salvo, and the difference between the maximum firing distance and the effective distance.

In the end, it is still unfinished, so let everyone repeat these concepts ten times in a row one by one to deepen the impression of everyone.

For the soldiers who took the lead in launching before the order, Yang Lin asked the other party one by one if he knew his mistake, and then asked the other party to repeat it twenty more times, and finally announced that the punishment was to practice for three days.

After reorganizing the queue, everyone set off again, and suddenly saw a burst of fire in the col in front of them more than ten miles away from He Shu Temple.

Everyone exchanged glances, leaving Yang Wei and Long Zhijiao to lead the brigade to take care of the grain baggage, and Yang Cheng and Yao Chonglie led a killer general flag and a firearms general flag to the front.

The head of the household is a single family, and the evil is done by four soldiers and ruffians.

It turned out that these soldiers and ruffians went to the countryside to do evil, and after a conflict with their master, they began to set fire to the house.

Five or six houses were lined up, and the kitchen next to it was already on fire, and forty or fifty people were shouting to extinguish the fire.

At the earthen dam in front of the courtyard stood twenty peasants with hoes, steel drills, and axes, and on the other side were four ruffians.

After seeing Yao Chonglie and the others arrive, the surrounding people panicked, if these more than 30 soldiers joined the battle group, then the difference in strength was huge, and the peasants did not have an advantage at all.

It turned out that these soldiers deserted, thinking of catching two chickens or something in the village, but fortunately they were fighting at night, but who expected to be discovered, they actually played tricks on the spot and burned down a house.

Seeing that it was the official army, Yao Chonglie did not dare to provoke it, and hoped that everyone could resolve the dispute.

The farmers saw that so many soldiers had gathered, and now that the soldiers were in chaos, everyone wanted to cry without tears, and they were ready to pack up their farm tools and leave.

Yang Lin didn't look at it this way, glared at Yao Chonglie, who was mediating, and suddenly his face sank, and let people tie up these four soldiers.

On the same day, he was imprisoned for two months for no reason because he offended someone and ate a lawsuit, and he was worried about losing and grabbed his shirt again and again, Yao Chonglie explained in a soft voice: "My lord, this, this is the subordinate of General Wang Chaoyang, don't provoke, otherwise you will suffer." ”

Yang Lin raised his hand to stop the other party, and said with a smile: "Yao Zongqi, just now we were ambushed by the local riot cavalry, and I heard that a few local rioters mixed into the countryside in the appearance of officials and soldiers, not only to find out the news of our army, but also to kill people and set fires to do all kinds of evil.

Yao Zongqi, I think these people are very hateful, nine times out of ten are local tyrants? ”

Yao Chonglie was shocked, looked at Yang Lin, and leaned closer and said: "Lord Warden, this, this is the soldiers under General Wang Chaoyang, let's not mess around." ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Yang Lin smiled and said, "Oh, since Yao Zongqi has confirmed that he is a local thug pretending to be an official soldier, where is the left and right, tie me up." ”

Seeing Yang Lin's iron heart to death, everyone was terrified, and one of the soldiers had a hideous face, pulled out his sword and said: "Look at the one who dares to tie up Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu just wants to come out and catch two chickens to eat, and there is no military salary for two months, and everyone fades out of the birds one by one."

Who would have thought that these people would be so ignorant and dare to do it, Lao Tzu was angry and set a fire.

Why, if you want to tie up Lao Tzu, you have the ability to see the real chapter with a real knife and a real gun, and you have the ability to arrest your grandfather, there are so many, what's the use? ”

Yang Lin knew about the arrears, and because of the serious arrears, it took two or three months to recruit soldiers and horses from all walks of life.

Due to the lack of military discipline in various departments, some people went out to loot and cause trouble in the villages.

But after all, the official army is the official army, and it cannot be openly plundered like bandits.

Besides, now with the position of a county magistrate, these people are looting under their own jurisdiction, is it tolerable or unbearable?

Yang Lin's black face sank, and he said angrily: "You are a local tyrant who still wants to pretend to be an official soldier, how can you have the courage to rob the people, have the courage to set fires, and not have the courage to admit that you are a local tyrant?"

The first squad prepares, holds guns and aims. ”

Wang Ergou believed that he was a practitioner, and he was ready to resist stubbornly at first, but when he saw that more than ten bird guns were all lit and aimed at him, of course he knew the power.

Frightened, his face turned white, and the whole person knelt down and shouted loudly: "Don't kill me, don't kill me." ”

Seeing that the other party was fierce and vicious in the past, but now he actually softened, everyone laughed.

Yang Lin waved his hand, and several soldiers rushed up to strip the other party naked and pressed them on the stool one by one, and the soldiers behind him were beating him with leather whips.

Looking at the frightened people, Yang Lin arched his hand and said: "Fellow villagers, in Xia Yang Lin, he used to be the chief of Luojiabao, and now he is appointed by the governor Yamen as a county warden, and he is the head of the regiment.

Folks, everyone was frightened just now. ”

When everyone heard that it was Yang Lin, who had captured Tianxing Liang Leopard alive and opposed the government's expropriation and tyranny, everyone knelt down one after another, shouting Lord Qingtian in their mouths.

Yang Lin helped everyone up one by one, and said with a smile: "The local thugs kill people and set fires, and they do all kinds of evil.

I've taken care of today's business, and I'll give you an explanation anyway. ”

Everyone was puzzled, and a boy in his fifties arched his hand and said, "My lord, this, this, are these people local tyrants?" ”

Yang Lin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course, everyone think about it, how can the officials and soldiers rob the people if they eat the imperial grain?"

Only local tyrants will rob the people, no matter who it is, we who dare to rob the people will be beaten as local tyrants, everyone says okay? ”

Although everyone was puzzled, of course it made sense for the warden to say so.

After such a delay, when the sun set, he rushed to He Shu Temple and found the grain officer to hand over the grain.
