Chapter 43: Preparations for War
The army was advancing in an orderly manner, sometimes running wildly, sometimes trotting, marching and training wanted to be combined, but it made Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun feel novel, even so, the team still maintained a neat formation and moved forward, and the speed was much faster than that of ordinary marching.

Lu Xiangsheng estimated the time, according to the current progress, it happened to be able to turn with Yuan Chonghuan's army at that time, and then enter Mongolia together, and the two could discuss the military deployment together by the way, Lu Xiangsheng thought about ordering the attendants to release the carrier pigeon, and explained his purpose to Cao Wenzhao, who was stationed in Xuanfu, if Yuan Chonghuan arrived in advance, wait for his army at that time.
After finishing the work, Lu Xiangsheng called Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun to his side, and said: "Take advantage of this day's march to introduce you to our firearms and equipment, and when you fight, you can give full play to the advantages of firearms!" β
The three of them nodded together, Lu Xiangsheng pulled out of the horse, came to the car battalion and artillery battalion behind the cavalry, and began to point out one by one: "You see, this is called a rocket car, lighting the lead can fire ten thousand arrows at once, the power is huge, after the current improved range is about 600 steps," the three nodded, looking at these dozens of rocket cars is also numb, if dozens of cars are launched together, that cavalry camp will be shot into a hornet's nest, Lu Xiangsheng looked at their expressions, smiled and pointed to another firearm and said: " This is called the God Rocket Screen, which is the same principle as the rocket car, but this is an elevation angle launch, so the range is about one-third farther than the rocket car, and it can be used to shoot with the rocket car, and the things that those cavalry are carrying, that is called the Tiger Squat Cannon, and the range is now 3000 feet after improvement! Lu Xiangsheng stopped, looked at the three of them, saw them smile and nodded, so he continued: "You should also know this, our Ming Dynasty's most commonly used Franc machine, after Xu Ge Lao and their improvement, now the maximum range of elevation shooting can reach 6000 feet, 3000 feet for flat shooting, and today's Franc machine has greatly improved both the rate of fire and the power, then you will understand, it can shoot with the tiger squat cannon, and there is a bird-shaped crow called Shenhuo Flying Crow, There is also a spherical shape of the Flying Sky Strike Thief Thunder, the two can be used together, and the effective range is 900 feet after improvement! β
After the three of them listened, they looked at it carefully for a while and nodded, and then Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the guns on the soldiers' backs and said: "This bird gun naturally doesn't need me to introduce, but there are four guerrillas in front of you who are carrying the newly developed flintlock pistol of the imperial court, this time it is just a trial, Lu has tried it, whether it is operation or speed, quality, and range, it is far beyond the bird gun, but this has to wait until the battle is over after the court decides whether to look at the build, don't talk about this, look at the firearms on the back of these soldiers called Thunderbolt, This advantage over the Bird Gun is that it fires in multiple barrels without interruption during shooting, and can be used in conjunction with the Bird Gun! Finally, each of these soldiers has a small pocket on their uniform, and this is what they put inside! After speaking, Lu Xiangsheng took one out of his pocket and introduced it to the three of them: "This is called a grenade!" Turn this switch on, throw it out, and it will explode when it hits the ground! There are many uses, such as melee enemies are not very far away from you, so you can throw one over! Another example is that if there is an obstacle, it can be blown up, and you can even use this to die with the enemy! Lu Xiang ascended.
After hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they all nodded, and Lu Xiangsheng said: "That's probably it, if you want to understand it in detail, you can come and ask me again when you get to the camp!" The three of them said they understood, and then followed Lu Xiangsheng back to the team.
Yan Yingyuan said: "Governor Lu, in the past two days of observation in the Beijing camp, I have never seen many training methods in this Beijing camp!" β
Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said: "After the reorganization of the Beijing battalion, new training methods were used, many of which were based on the training methods of Qi Dashuai and Yu Dashuai in the past, as well as some of His Majesty's suggestions and some methods discussed by Lu and Vice Governor Zhou, and now the effect is still good!" β
Chen Mingyu nodded and said, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to understand this military training?" β
Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Our Majesty knows a lot of things!" Sometimes even Lu was surprised, His Majesty's erudition and talent You will have the opportunity to come into contact with in the future, just say that this firearm, many improvements were made by His Majesty! β
Feng Houdun said: "It turns out that His Majesty should be very majestic, and if he is high, he will not talk to us rough people!" I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! β
"Oh! What didn't you think of? Lu Xiangsheng asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty is as majestic as you imagined, with the demeanor of an emperor, and at the same time so approachable, loves the soldiers, and respects us military attachΓ©s! It can be seen from his speech before the battle and his communication with Governor Lu! Feng Houdun said.
Lu Xiangsheng nodded: "It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, although Lu has not been in Beijing for a long time, but there is no such feeling, His Majesty gives Lu a feeling of openness, I believe that not only Lu, but also those pavilion elders should also feel this way!" Such a majesty deserves our service to him! Lu feels that as long as our monarchs and ministers are united! Soldiers with their lives! My Ming Zhongxing is just around the corner! β
When the three of them heard this, they nodded to each other and shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng!" β
Lu Xiangsheng patted the shoulders of the three of them respectively and said, "Since Your Majesty has transferred you to someone Lu!" From now on, we will be a family, and all the brothers in this camp will also be your family! Here we share weal and woe! Life and death together! Well done! Lu believes in your abilities! I also believe in the vision of His Majesty the Emperor! β
Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun nodded in unison, and the arrival of the three finally made this army complete, and slowly grew into an invincible Long Live Army that won a hundred battles in the future!
When the army of the Beijing camp was advancing towards Xuanfu, the weapons and equipment escorted by Cao Bianjiao on the front line had arrived at Lin Dan Khan's station, and the camp suddenly boiled, and those Mongolian soldiers looked at the silver shining armor and drooled, after so many years, they could finally change their equipment, and the leather clothes, coarse cloth pants and bone bows and arrows on their bodies really had no protection at all, it was too shabby! According to Wang Zaijin's idea, Lin Dan Khan divided the 100,000 army into ten units and took turns to receive weapons and equipment.
The soldiers quickly put on the new equipment, but just like the army of the savages, the morale of the majestic army suddenly rose a lot, it is really people who rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold clothes, Lin Dan Khan couldn't help but sigh! However, morale is very important for war, and ancient wars were all about morale.
After that, Wang Zaijin asked Lin Dan Khan's 10,000 guards to come out of the ranks, and began to distribute three grenades to each person, and demonstrated it to them, and suddenly all the people were stunned, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, there was a sudden explosion, and they thought that Changshengtian was angry and wanted to punish them!
"There are many ways to use this grenade, you can experience it for yourselves! But remember, even if you pull a grenade and die with the enemy, you can't let this thing fall into the hands of the enemy, you know? "The king is in Jindao.
Everyone didn't react, Lin Dan Khan was angry, and felt that his guards didn't give Wang Zaijin face, which would show that he was not strict in teaching, and it was indeed as Wang Zaijin said, it must not fall into the hands of the enemy, and the consequences would be serious! Immediately said angrily: "Do you understand Wang Jingluo's words?" β
"Got it!" The crowd roared in unison
Lin Dan Khan said: "Warriors! Now we have a common enemy, those Mongolian wicked people who betrayed the immortal heaven, and the shameless Jurchen savages who want to rob our steppe, our parents, relatives, our cattle, sheep and horses! What do you say we should do about these bandits? β
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "100,000 people roared in unison, and the roar shook the sky, and it felt like an earthquake.
"Good! Very good! Ben Khan will lead you to kill all these bandits! Win the last victory! As he spoke, he raised the scimitar in his hand.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "100,000 people are roaring again!
"And! This time, our friends, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will fight side by side with us, and I hope that our Mongolian warriors can work together with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and cooperate wholeheartedly! Can you do it! Lin Dan Khan yelled.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! "100,000 people are roaring again!
Lin Danhan raised his hand, and there was a sudden silence below, "Very good!" Now the big war is coming! You all go back and familiarize yourself with your gear, and then make sure you get some rest! Nourish your spirits! β
"Yes! Sweat! "Everyone received the order to retreat in an orderly manner, familiar with the equipment, although the armor protection has improved, but the flexibility is definitely not better than the original, they have to adapt to the battlefield.
In addition, Wang Zaijin also asked Lin Dan Khan to draw out some soldiers to start burying mines, setting up minefields, and asking soldiers to mark minefields on the map to facilitate future operations.
Just when this side was in full swing to prepare for battle, in the camp on the other side, Huang Taiji and the Beylers were still discussing with which Mongolian people who would go first, and no one wanted their own people to want to die, and they all wanted to pick up the cheap, so this battle plan was not finalized for a long time, and what made them even more puzzled, the people of Lin Dan Khan, who were basically invisible in this area, fled without a fight? They were still ambushed and prepared for an ambush, so in addition to discussing the battle plan these days, they thoroughly searched the nearby mountains to see if there was an ambush, but they found nothing for three days, which made them very annoyedγγγγγγ
