"Jem, what did you do when you fought over there, tell me in detail."

Hearing Wang Zheng's question, Jem cleared his throat and said:

"Back to the words of the old general, the small people are fighting in a phalanx, the axe gunners or spearmen are lined up in a neat queue to advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and the musketeers first stand in the front row to shoot, and wait until the other party rushes closer before running to the back, treating the people in front as a mobile castle and continuing to shoot and harass."

After listening to this, Dong Youyin glanced at the foreigner in surprise, what he said was indeed similar to the method that the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion had been training all the time, and the previous battles were similar.

The rest of the people present all nodded secretly, Wang Zheng'an calmed down, it seems that his training methods are similar to those of the West, at least in this respect, the Dengzhou Battalion is not lagging behind the West.

At the end of the fifteenth century, the Western way of fighting had gradually advanced the way of fighting in the East, and now the combat mode of the Dengzhou battalion is generally the same as that of the West, which shows that it is not lagging behind, and even if the axe and gun are popularized, the soldiers should be able to get started quickly.

Wang Zheng is not an expert after all, what he can do is to follow the advanced way as much as possible, and it doesn't matter whether people accept it in their hearts at this time, because no matter how much you say, they still don't understand, and when they taste the sweetness in battle, they will naturally understand which is better.

For a long time, Wu Weizhong and Han Dahu and some other Ming generals who had a good relationship with Wang Zheng were greatly admired when they mentioned the training methods of the Wendeng camp, and it was generally believed that Wang Zheng was well versed in the way of training troops and commanding.

They didn't know that Wang Zheng's training method was not the first one, and everything he did was just to keep up with the pace of the times as much as possible and not fall behind.

Gao Liang glanced at Jem, who was talking, and felt that the training method of the red-haired head had a lot of similarities with the Dengzhou camp, and he felt better in his heart.

I feel that the two parties are still a family, and I don't think this foreigner is so hateful, and it sounds carefully.

Jem naturally knew that he had offended a lot of people in Fang Cai's competition, so he spoke cautiously, bowing constantly as he spoke.

At this time, Wang Zheng asked questions and said:

"It's just a formation of spearmen, presumably the knights of the West can easily break through, and when you encounter this situation on the battlefield, how do you solve it?"

After hearing this, Jem thought for a while, and finally understood the meaning of Wang Zheng's words, turned around and pointed to the axe and gun that had been standing in the main hall, and said:

"This is going to use axes and spears, the old man and the general are above, and we basically don't use spearmen on our side now, and most of them are replaced by axe and spearmen." Speaking of this, Jem smiled self-deprecatingly and continued, "Those who are still using spears are probably the squires of those knight lords. ”

Wang Zheng nodded, he could understand these words, but the rest of the people were confused, and Jem continued to say there:

"Spearmen generally carry short knives with them, and the same is true for the soldiers under the command of the great general, but the knights are often condescending and wearing plate armor, and it is difficult for the spearmen's short knives to affect their charge."

"At this point, it is up to the axemen to hook the knights off their horses with the little axes, and as soon as they dismount and enter the battle, they will be slaughtered."

In Europe, which was in the midst of the Thirty Years' War, the status of knights was no longer as noble as before, which was also related to the popularization of axes and guns and various muskets and artillery in Europe.

In fact, throughout the world, the nomads everywhere are almost in the stage of collapse in this era, the previous cavalry era has passed, and it is a historical necessity for modern military formations to replace a swarm of charges.

Sadly, however, the West was at the forefront of the world in this process, while China, which was supposed to be a close follower, was interrupted by the Manchus.

The proud and conceited Tartar boasted that he was the kingdom of heaven and "rode and shot to determine the world", even in the eyes of the enlightened Dolgon and Huang Taiji, this is an eternal theorem.

Therefore, after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the East began to close itself off from the country, and gradually the distance from the West became larger and larger.

Now what Wang Zheng wants to do most is to strengthen his strength, because whenever he thinks about the history of the future, he will be heartbroken, which is why he is always busy.

Dong Youyin suddenly shouted: "What kind of armor is it, a spear can't pierce it?" ”

Although the rest of the people didn't say anything, they didn't seem to believe what Jem said, even if it was the iron armor of the Tartar, the tiger spear could pierce it with all its might, let alone the spear that was sharper than the tiger gun.

After speaking, Jem bowed down and retreated to the outside of the crowd.

When Wang Zheng heard everyone's discussions, he suddenly remembered something, and there was no harm in explaining this matter to them in advance, and it could be regarded as a preventive vaccination.

"There's silver, go and get that armor from the main hall!"

Dong Youyin immediately hugged his fists and walked out without hesitation, and it didn't take long for him to come back with that set of Western-style knight plate armor.

At this time, Wang Zheng noticed that the chest of this plate armor was also engraved with a winged eagle in gold, and Jem was obviously trembling when he saw it, but Wang Zheng didn't know what this pattern represented, and he didn't have the extra heart to ask at this time, everyone was still waiting for themselves to explain the reason.

So Wang Zheng didn't think much about it, and took the plate armor in his hand and began to talk.

......

In the dead of night, bursts of astonishment continued to sound in the mansion of the deputy marshal of Dengzhou.

The red lady touched the western plate armor, and still thought it was incredible.

The knight's plate armor in front of him was hard, smooth and clean on the surface, and although it didn't look too thick, no one thought it was less protective than the thick iron armor.

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, it dawned on them that if the spearmen or spearmen in the battle were not fully facing this armor, after stabbing it, the tip of the spear or the tip of the spear would definitely be cut open.

The people here are all experienced, and it's easy to understand.

A few people were discussing in a low voice, and today's events were really incomprehensible, and even for them, it would take some time to fully understand.

"If it's just a tiger gun, it's really simple and the risk is high when fighting, so be it! When the soldiers are fully recruited, all the tiger gunners must be equipped with such an axe and gun, and they must be proficient; The rest of the town guards in various places should also be transferred to slowly familiarize themselves! ”

Wang Zheng gave the military order, and everyone hurriedly put down the discussion on their lips and nodded with their fists clenched.

"Gao Liang is positive, Jem is the deputy, the two of you are in charge of teaching, and the ones handed over to you are the most elite soldiers in my Dengzhou battalion, everyone is a good hand, we must let them practice the axe and gun in the shortest possible time!"

When Wang Zheng said this, his expression was serious, his body was moved, and he received the order excitedly, but the foreigner Jem was stunned and didn't understand the situation.

When Huang Yang carefully explained it to him, Jem danced excitedly, first bowing constantly, then kneeling to thank him, and finally Gao Liang pushed him before he remembered that he should kneel and kowtow.
