"It's out, it's out!" Looking at the Qing army in the distance, Liu Yuliang, who was on the battlefield for the first time, only felt that his blood was full of blood, a large amount of adrenal hormones were secreted, and his voice was a little trembling, "Hurry up, prepare quickly."

！ ”

The group of clerks, officials, and servants around him also hid behind him.

The army in Ningxiang did not move, and everyone still maintained the posture of sitting cross-legged.

"Liu Xiang, don't worry, it is estimated that there will be half an hour before the enemy comes into contact with me." Sun Yuan said with a smile.

"How?" Liu Yuliang suddenly found that the enemy troops on the opposite side were not in a hurry to charge, but first formed a team, and after a long time, they lined up and moved forward little by little with what seemed to be a neat pace.

Liu Yuliang felt that his panic just now was a little out of shape, coughed dryly, his curiosity rose, and he couldn't help asking: "Taichu, the whole team of Jiannu has been completed, why is it so slow as a snail?" ”

This question is relatively naïve, and the generals around Sun Yuan want to laugh but dare not laugh.

Sun Yuan: "Liu Xiang, the enemy army is still two or three miles away from our army's main formation, if you charge at the beginning, and when you run to us, you will be so tired that you have no strength, how can you fight?" Also, ordinary soldiers, even if they are wearing light cotton armor, the armor and weapons together weigh twenty or thirty pounds, how can they run? ”

Liu Ge Lao suddenly realized: "I see, it seems that fighting a war is not as simple as imagined, there is still a lot of knowledge in it, and I can't see it in books." ”

Sun Yuan smiled and nodded, and waited for another half a day, when the Qing army had advanced to a position two miles away from the Ningxiang army, and he could already clearly see their banners, he waved his hand: "Ready!" ”

"Batch --- armor!" Everywhere there were the shouts of the officers.

"Musketeer, reload!"

The Ningxiang Army, who had been recuperating for a long time, stood up from the ground one after another and helped each other put on armor. The musketeers also followed the officer's orders and reloaded the medicine in an orderly manner.

"One, two, three, four......"

"One, two, three, four......"

……

Liu Yuliang was probably too excited, and he couldn't close the chatterbox as soon as he opened it: "Taichu, why don't the musketeers preload, if they encounter the enemy halfway, it's too late."

。 [.Lots of good]"

Sun Yuan: "What if it's pre-loaded with gunpowder and it rains?" In addition, our army's fixed ammunition has a certain weight, which has been calculated in advance. If it is refilled in advance, especially the gunpowder in the primer pool, it is easy to spill it due to bumps during the march, and it will be dumb fire at the critical moment. ”

"I see, Taichu was careful, and even this kind of detail was taken into account." Liu Yuliang couldn't help but praise.

"As for encountering an enemy attack on the way, when the cavalry and spearmen of the Ningxiang Army are vegetarians?" Sun Yuan said lightly: "The musketeers of my Ningxiang Army, I have to repeat the training a hundred times a day just by reloading, and I can shoot one shot with a snap of my fingers, and there is no such thing as being too late." ”

"No wonder the musketeers repeated these actions over and over again during the training two days ago, it turns out that this is the truth." Liu Yuliang memorized what Sun Yuan had just said in his heart word for word, and wrote it into the book after preparing it.

……

When the Qing army forced into the Ningxiang army, the battle was finally about to start.

Liu Yuliang looked at Jiannu's hideous face, his heart began to beat uncontrollably, and his mouth was very dry.

He and Sun Yuan were located on a small dirt slope that was not high, condescending, and the situation of the entire battlefield was unobstructed.

Sun Yuan handed over a look to the guard next to him, and Yu Xiang immediately took over two Mazars and stretched them out: "Pavilion Elder, General, please take a seat." ”

Sun Yuan helped Liu Yuliang sit down: "Elder Ge, this battle is estimated to take some work, your old man is old, and sit down to rest." After saying that, he also sat down.

Liu Yuliang: "At this time, I am still sitting, is it too unserious?" ”

Sun Yuan said lightly: "Isn't it just to fight the five thousand Han army flag tartars, if it is Dolgon and Yue Tuo who come, you and I will have to stand and wait for the battle to end." The traitor surnamed Kong on the other side can't afford to stop us. ”

Seeing his calm expression, Liu Yuliang's heart calmed down. (.marshmallow)

Immediately, two servants handed over the copper hand stove to Liu Yuliang to warm up, and then another cup of hot tea was served.

Liu Ge was in a trance for a while, feeling that he was not on the battlefield, but on a vast spring outing, until ...... It wasn't until I saw the splashing blood that I came back to my senses

。

Now the Ningxiang army and the slowly approaching Qing army are about 200 meters apart, 200 meters, about the length of a standard stadium in later generations.

This distance is the first point of contact between the two warring sides in Cold Weapons warfare, and is exactly within the range of cannons and bows and arrows. According to the tactics of the general army in this era, the defending side will use a salvo of long-range weapons at this time to weaken the morale of the enemy's attack speed.

"Archers, out of line!" Fei Hong shouted loudly, and Dafang walked out with a hundred archers and lined up in three columns on the official road.

"Taichu, you Ningxiang Army also have archers?" Liu Yuliang held the handstove and felt comfortable.

Sun Yuan: "Just set up, Liu Xiang forgot, my Ningxiang Army is a part of the Tianxiong Army." The Tianxiong Army has bow and crossbow armor in the world, and I should also have archers. ”

In fact, Sun Yuan had asked Lu Xiangsheng to pass a lot of strong bows before. These infantry bows were almost half a man tall, and they were all made of birch, boxwood, horn, lacquer, and silk linen, and they were so hard that it was difficult for untrained soldiers to open them to half a full force. Therefore, archers have extremely strict requirements for the physical fitness and stature of soldiers, and they have to undergo long-term training.

If it's average, not to mention that you can't pull the bow, even if you pull it away, if you want to shoot the arrow, you can't make a fool of yourself at the beginning.

said that it was a bow, and Sun Yuan was a military history enthusiast in his previous life, so on a whim, he joined a bow and arrow club. In order to pretend to be forced, I resolutely did not need a compound bow with pulleys, and chose an ordinary big bow. Then according to the Mediterranean style, use all your strength to round the bow, and the limbs are very graceful. It's a pity that when I shot it, the arrow didn't shoot out and fell directly to the ground. His left arm was swollen by the sudden straightening of the bowstring.

Then the whole shooting range fell to the ground with laughter.

Unlike musketeers, even a child can easily kill a strong man who has been trained for years as long as he has the strength to pull the trigger.

The bow of the Tianxiong Army is very hard and valuable, and it would be a pity if it was not used. Therefore, Sun Yuan sent a hundred soldiers with good eyesight and strong body from the army to form an archery team. After almost a year of training, it was finally ready to be used on the battlefield.

The muskets of the Ningxiang Army had a limited range and no accuracy to speak of. Aside from the cannon, the bow and arrow were the only ranged strike weapons he had at hand

。

Seeing the archers of the Ningxiang Army coming out of the ranks, the Qing soldiers who were advancing on the opposite side knew that they were powerful, and at the same time let out a shout, and the speed of the charge began to increase.

"Zhang Gong ----"

"Zhang Gong ---"

The officers shouted at the same time, and a hundred archers at the same time drew their large bows and pointed diagonally at the sky.

Liu Yuliang began to ask: "Why does this archer point to the sky, Jiannu can be in the front." ”

The officers around Sun Yuan all held back their laughter and endured uncomfortable. The donkey who served as his bodyguard was even more angry and shook his head, and the iron-clad leaves on his body kept ringing.

Sun Yuan was very patient: "Liu Xiang, if the bow is a flat shot, not to mention the short range." Moreover, the archers in the back were unable to shoot arrows at all because the shooting surface was blocked by their comrades in front. If you shoot from your back, everyone can shoot your bow. In this way, the so-called rain of arrows can be formed. ”

"I see, I see." Just thinking about it, Liu Ge Lao wanted to understand this truth, and couldn't help but start to praise the so-called "insight into world affairs is knowledge" again.

While speaking, "Put!" ”

With the order of the officers, a hundred bowstrings beeped at the same time.

As soon as the sky in front of him darkened, a large black dot rose into the air, rose to the highest point, and then fell on the heads of the Qing soldiers below at the same time.

"Good...... It's spectacular! Liu Ge Lao was still steady, and the servants behind him shouted at the same time.

Even Lao Liu couldn't help but straighten his neck to observe the results.

It's a pity that the Qing army was wearing thick cotton armor, and this round of arrow rain fell, but it didn't hit a few people. Although there was blood splattering from the crowd, it appeared that no one had been shot or killed.

Not only that, but the Qing army was faster and had already begun to trot all the way.

"Zhang Gong!"

……

"Put!"

"Put

！ ”

"Put!"

……

A new round of firing began, but still no results were achieved.

……

After four volleys, the Qing soldiers had already rushed in front of the Ningxiang army.

Liu Ge Lao couldn't sit still anymore, Huo stood up: "Taichu, don't you have cavalry, rush, rush them!" The fingers that grabbed the copper hand stove were also white from tension and force.

"Cavalry is used for maneuvering, sentry, and pursuit, and the era of cavalry charging into battle is long gone." Sun Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, Liu Xiang, the battle has just begun." ”

With another wave of his hand, the officers' orders rang out everywhere.

Dafang and the other archers put the big bow on their backs at the same time, and turned around and ran towards the formation.

As soon as they turned around, the phalanx of spears moved to both sides at the same time, making way for a passage. When the bow returned to the main formation, the spear formation closed towards the middle one and became tighter.

Liu Yuliang saw the way now: "It's neat and uniform, the police are not chaotic, and it's really a strong army." The old man understood, and the Ningxiang Army's weekday queue training was originally used in this way. ”

From the beginning of the battle, to now, Liu Ge Lao has been asking and shouting, and everyone has been irritated for a while.

Sun Yuan was happy in his heart: This Liu Yuliang, as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, has a high and powerful position, but he is not ashamed to ask, he is really a good student! This old man, however, is interesting.

When the archers returned to the formation, the spearmen flattened their spears and crouched down.

Behind, the musketeers raised their muskets.

The Qing army had already pressed in front of the Ningxiang army, and they were all sword and shield bearers. All the people held their shields, connected into a low wall, and slammed forward fiercely, as if they wanted to smash the Ningxiang army's phalanx into powder like walnuts in this rude way.

Shots rang out.
