"The key to dealing with cavalry is not to let the cavalry rush in front of you smoothly." Lu Qi said in general, "The impact of the cavalry can bring a very huge psychological pressure to the infantry, if the enemy's cavalry can be dispersed about thirty meters in front of the formation, it will not cause the infantry array to be affected, then you can lay a fence in front of the enemy to resist the horse before the battle, and then you can put a large number of thistles to block the enemy's charge, and then add spears to resist in front, and rifles to shoot in three rows behind the spear formation, so that you can successfully resist the enemy outside the effective range of cavalry attack." ”

"Is this true?" The princess's eyes lit up, and she was now full of expectations that she would be able to immediately use such a strong army equipped with such a "Senate militaristic weapon", and Lucci's words about her succeeded in resonating with her. In her opinion, these people from Dongfang Hong Kong should all be the same, all of them are dressed like this, they all have short shaved hair, and they are all so extraordinary in conversation, so their abilities must be similar, so she automatically ignored Qian Longzhou's objections on the side. At this time, this "modern army" of more than 500 people cost her a lot of money, if according to Qian Longzhou, the chief instructor, it will take at least half a year to a year of training before she can enter battle, and the large-scale shooting training and the three-stage attack against the cavalry assault and even the phalanx make her feel that it is far away. She had the impression that every time the Yishan beacon sounded the alarm, at most, a month, these Clovhan barbarians would be able to march under the city of Zhanchenggang, and it was estimated that there would not be too many surprises this time, if such an army that had spent a huge price could only be used to defend the city, what was the difference between it and those soldiers who were brave soldiers with knives, guns and clubs before? As soon as she thought of the military uniform procurement plan that had just been set here, she felt a pain in her flesh, and her own annual expenses of the entire princess's mansion were estimated to be unacceptable, although she knew that these Dongfang Hong Kong people would definitely not ask her to really pay money and only deduct it from the trade quota, but since she was a trade port here, she relied on making money through trade quotas and taxes. It's only three years of trade that can cost her a considerable amount of tax revenue, and if she adds a little more, how can she maintain this port of Zhancheng?

"Of course it's true," Ruchi patted his chest with confidence, "it's an absolute thing, in many battles the well-organized infantry phalanx has broken a large number of cavalry, and we only need to have the baggage troops carry horse bars and thistles to be placed in front of the battle before the battle, and the spear array can keep the enemy's cavalry from approaching." At the same time, the continuous fire of the rifle was able to destroy the enemy quite effectively. I can assure you that it only takes fifteen minutes for that barbarian to flee in frenzy. ”

Qian Longzhou was completely speechless at this time, he had to admit that Lu Qi's statement was theoretically not problematic at all, as long as there was a 10% loss in the general charge process, the army that did not break up was already a strong army, and the barbarians were even more impossible. But the question is, how can war be carried out in a rigorous manner according to the theories in the books? The tide of battle is changing rapidly, and sometimes a soldier's gun jam can be tossed to the point of a rout on the whole line, let alone such an army that has barely participated in live-fire training. The soldiers were not trained to shoot against the cavalry, and it would be unimaginable to see that the cavalry was not as inconvenient as Lucci said...... But at this time, he had no say at all, and the princess had just asked him to step down from his position as chief instructor to continue to be his commercial representative, and appointed Lu Qi as the chief instructor of this new army.

"Change of commanders on the spot, airborne appointments." Qian Longzhou couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head, and reported the situation in detail to the headquarters of Dongfang Port through a text message on his mobile phone. Du Yande, who learned of the situation, hurriedly found Gu Qingqian and asked her to try to contact the princess to change the princess's decision.

Gu Qingqian saw Du Yande and just smiled, "At that time, it will be her soldiers who occupy the port, we just need to ensure that the port is not plundered, and when the time comes, we will use our own firepower to show it in front of the Annan people, and they will naturally know how important the troops are trained according to strict military training." In addition, although this guy Lu Qi will definitely be defeated, the things he is proposing now will definitely not be produced in Zhancheng Port, and they will have to be imported from us, so we can still make a profit. ”

Du Yande was speechless, "Then do you still expect to let Champa Port import another batch of monkey version rifles after showing firepower in front of Champa Port?" ”

"That's hard to say, but the loss of Zhancheng Port this time will definitely not be too big, I heard Qian Longzhou say that the infantry who have not undergone targeted training after facing the cavalry will basically collapse, they should not abandon the weapons in their hands, right?" Gu Qingqian said, "Didn't you say that the Burma Expeditionary Force still had a new army that fled to India with guns on its shoulders? ”

"That's not the same thing, these native armies have no concept of the weapons in their hands, if I'm not mistaken, I guess Qian Longzhou won't even have a chance to teach them how to maintain weapons." Du Yande shook his head repeatedly, "Their rout will definitely throw rifles all over the ground." ”

"That's even better, we'll be able to export more monkey rifles, and this month we've won a big win in the cloth trade in Champa Port, which has led to the closure of many local textile workshops, many of whom have recently come north to us with the intention of destroying our textile machinery, but then found out that we can provide them with more jobs and better accommodation and food," Gu Qingqian smiled mysteriously. "So now they're basically going straight to us."

"So you mean to let Lucci toss over there?" Du Yande was a little depressed, the quality of the current Senate system is definitely not inferior to that made in Germany in the future, and the military theory of the time is definitely hundreds of years beyond the new time and space, but it is not in line with the image of the Senate to let a Ruchi who talks on paper to boastfully command a war that will obviously suffer a big defeat.

"In fact, it is also good to let them lose, at least let the princess not dare to interfere in the affairs of the army in the future, she now removes Qian Longzhou and replaces Lu Qi is her own personal decision, she is a queen-like existence in Champa Port, and we can't let her change her order overnight. After they are defeated, we can pull back a game outside the port of Champong, and that's it. By the way," Gu Qingqian suddenly asked, "Our army won't be invincible, right?" ”

"Needless to say, our 1628 rifle is several levels better than their monkey rifle, and our military team has been implementing this kind of array line shooting training among the naturalized militia since the last time we defeated several times the enemy in the brickyard with the method of lining up to shoot. In comparison, if we lose, it can be called unreasonable. Du Yande couldn't help but be full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of his army.

…………………………

On the Yishan Beacon Tower, Dunding was standing in a circle on the top of the beacon tower. Looking out at the top battlements, several villages not far away were now filled with burning fire and smoke, several corpses lay on the path outside the village, blood and broken weapons were sprinkled everywhere on the green grass, groups of peasants were driven to the open field of the sunning valley, and groups of dwarf, yellow-skinned people were tied up with ropes, and then led to the south one by one.

"Chief, here's ...... What to do? Dun Ding looked at the scene below and couldn't help but ask.

Dun Chang sighed and said, "What can we do?" We can only defend this pier and don't let these Nanban break through us, the common people don't run away when they see our wolf smoke but stay to guard the village, which is also their own choice. ”

At this time, the following several people who looked like the captain of the Nanban were riding their mounts in style, pointing at the still smoking beacon with the iron blade in their hands, talking and laughing, although the pier commander didn't know what they were talking about, but he thought about it, he was definitely ridiculing them, these Annan soldiers only knew how to defend the beacon tower and send signals, but they didn't dare to fight them to the death. Why didn't he want to save the plundered population? Although there were no relatives among them, he often rushed over to buy things when the village was in the market, and he knew a lot of people inside. At this time, he could only watch as these acquaintances were either hacked to death by the brutes on the side of the road, or they were tied up and taken south one by one. The year before last and last year, these Nanban also came, but it was two months in advance, but this year they deliberately delayed their arrival by two months, which caught these Annan soldiers and civilians off guard. How can these villagers, who have no time to escape, resist in front of these barbarians who can't even resist the official army of Annam?

The dun chief could only hope that these barbarians would be able to go north as soon as possible, so he could go into the village at night to find out if there were any villagers who had survived, and if he could rescue them, he would count them one by one.

At this time, under a stove in the village, in a large cellar, there were more than 30 people huddled, including men, women, and children, and it seemed that they were a large family. They had already burrowed into the cellar in the morning when they saw the wolf smoke, and according to the experience of previous years, these barbarians would only burn and loot in the village and then swarm north, and then leave with their booty when they were done. They have been hiding in this big cellar for the past few years to escape the catastrophe. But this year the situation was completely different, and they added a child to the family, who had just reached the full moon at this time, and was completely uncomfortable with the darkness around him, just kicking his legs and crying. Several adults tried to coax the child to sleep, but who knew that the child was more and more soothing. The child's cries were evident in the burning explosion and the screams of men and mounts, and they could already hear barbarians outside on their mounts and start a search nearby.

"Cover it up!" The old man in the family looked helplessly at the child's mother, how could the mother be willing to kill her child? hurriedly cried and shouted that he was about to come up and take back the child, but he was pulled by the people around him and covered his mouth. At this time, the old man sighed and covered the child's mouth and nose with his hand.

The woman writhed her body wildly, but she was held by the people around her and refused to let go, and in desperation, she bit the hand that was covering her mouth fiercely, "Ah! The person who was bitten couldn't help but cry out. At the same time, the top of the head suddenly lit up, and all the people couldn't help but sink their hearts and were discovered!
