On the school field, the soldiers of the two battalions were neatly arranged.

Zhao Yan was dressed in a plate armor and a steel helmet, and rode out on a black horse.

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins."

The soldiers in the school field suddenly shouted in unison, and many soldiers had a trace of frenzy on their faces, shouting loudly along with the rhythm.

That's the one who brought them stability, that's the one who brought them ideals.

Zhao Yan raised his hand, and the shouting suddenly stopped.

"Soldiers, I am waiting for the night to practice, in order to protect the territory and the people. Today, we are waiting to be caresed, but also because of the country's efforts. Denglai is in constant trouble, you say, what should I do? Zhao Yan roared.

"Exterminate them, exterminate them......"

"Okay, the first battalion and the second battalion are the main ones in Dengzhou, and the cavalry battalion is in charge of Laizhou, and let's go~!" Zhao Yan gave an order, and the soldiers who had already prepared immediately set off.

At this moment, some pikemen are already equipped with plate armor, and these pikemen are the hundred people who are in the front row, and the higher the danger is in the first row.

Therefore, the infantry that was first equipped with plate armor and traveled with war horses and war horses was called dragoons in the West. Although there is often weight-bearing cross-country training, it is still very difficult to carry more than 30 pounds of equipment for long-distance running.

The 1st Battalion was the whole battalion to the west of Dengzhou, which was the most seriously troubled area of Dengzhou. The second battalion was divided into two, half of which was to suppress Dengzhou, and the other half was to follow the cavalry battalion to suppress Laizhou.

The cavalry battalion was divided into 400 men to assist the infantry battalion in Dengzhou.

Although the cavalry battalion was always in charge of Laizhou, it could only deal with those bandits who were small in size and had poor strength. After all, the cavalry battalion is not yet fully equipped with plate armor, and it is easy to break down when using cavalry to kill. So those large-scale bandits, they should also be coordinated with infantry battalions.

The 700 infantry who followed the cavalry battalion to Laizhou to suppress bandits were also equipped with horses, which were all mounted on horses, which were inferior to those of the cavalry battalion.

Amid the roar of horses' hooves, the cavalry battalion galloped towards Laizhou, while the first and second battalions headed west. Zhao Yan did not follow to suppress the bandits, but took fifty guards towards Longkou Port.

Longkou Port is an excellent port in Huang County, where Zhao Yan set up a shipyard on a small scale, only gathering more than 400 shipwrights in Denglai.

These shipwrights were all from the north, and the warships they built did not quite meet Zhao Yan's requirements.

He wanted a ship that could withstand the storms of the sea. Otherwise, it is inevitable that the consequences of being blown back from the sea will be repeated, and the warships built in the north are generally not suitable for sailing in the ocean.

The warships in the south, the shipbuilding technology in the Minjiang estuary area are obviously more in line with his requirements.

At present, Zhao Quan has sent people to Fujian and Guangdong to recruit shipwrights, especially the boatwrights in the Minjiang River estuary, and most of the boats made by Zheng He when he went to the West were made in the Minjiang River estuary.

The reason why Zheng He was able to build such a large ship when he went to the West was mainly the legacy left by the Song Dynasty, and now the sea has been banned for many years, and many technologies of the Song Dynasty have been lost, but Fujian's shipbuilding industry is still the most advanced existence of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no shortage of ship types Zhao Yan, and the ship when Zheng He went to the West obviously did not meet his requirements, and the important thing was technology.

At present, the shipyard is building the drawings of the flying clipper given by Zhao Yan, the flying clipper is a kind of transport vessel, which is the fastest sailing ship, and it only takes 13 days to cross the Atlantic, and it is estimated that it can be reached in two or three days with this kind of ship.

However, the disadvantage of clippers is that they cannot be used as warships, and they cannot transport fragile items. If you want to go to the trade, you have to build some stable ships to transport glass and porcelain.

At the same time, it is necessary to build some warships to escort the trade, and it is definitely a tiger's mouth to take food when it comes to this trade, the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong are staring at this fast fat, Zhao Yan wants to intervene sideways, and naturally there must be enough warships to escort it.

Zhao Yan is not in a hurry when it comes to trade, but the Ordnance Bureau is stepping up the development of artillery, and several types of artillery have been designed.

However, they all do not quite meet Zhao Yan's requirements.

Naval artillery, it doesn't matter if it's heavier. However, it requires a long range, a fast rate of fire, and high accuracy.

Zhao Yan got these technologies out of the erection, spiral, rear mounting, gun holster, and steel wire, and asked the artillery laboratory of the Ordnance Bureau to seize the time to develop them.

Withdrawing a cannon can increase the rate of fire, and Napoleon's Waterloo was because the artillery had no strength to fight the cannon, after all, it took a lot of effort to reset the barrel, and it was time-consuming.

The spiral can improve the accuracy and range, and the use of the spiral must be rear-loaded, otherwise it is very difficult to load. And the rear-loading shells must use the column, a simple column shell will not work, the breath-holding surname is too poor, so it is necessary to add a tightener.

The technology of the gun holster and steel wire is to prevent the explosion of the bore, which can be loaded with more gunpowder to increase the power of the artillery.

At the same time, the front loading of the gun is changed to the rear loading, and it can be loaded directly in the cabin, which is safe and fast. It is also possible to attach a telescope to the cannon, which improves accuracy.

Whether the artillery is good or not is directly related to the question of sea power.

These artillery technologies, which have not yet appeared, can be achieved at the current level of science and technology, but they lack an innovation.

Although Zhao Yan is not at a high level in technology, he has completely mastered these technologies. And those crafts are perfected by those craftsmen, and nothing else has to do.

The artillery laboratory of the Ordnance Bureau is firing artillery all day long. Rumbling like thunder, the people of Zhaojiabao are no longer surprised.

The materials and manpower required for the artillery laboratory are all supplied on a priority basis.

……

The 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, and the Cavalry Battalion launched a very ferocious anti-bandit operation in the 2nd province of Tenglai, and from the fifth day onwards, the heads of the bandit leaders and their backbones began to be passed on in the prefectures and counties of Denglai.

Most of the bandit leaders and backbones during the last crackdown were sent to labor camps, and only a few who committed serious crimes were beheaded.

But this time, when he was caught, he cut off his head, paraded through the streets of the states and counties of Denglai, and then put it in an urn and put it on the pavilion beam of the nearest state and county.

For a while, the bandits in Denglai and the two places couldn't help but change their complexions, and the number of bandits who surrendered to the government increased for a while.

Zhao Yong divided the first battalion into two and exterminated a large group of bandits. After exterminating several bandits, he finally encountered a nest of more tricky bandits in Qixia.

The bandits, numbering about 500 people, were entrenched on a hill and built a stockade on it. Seeing Zhao Yong leading people into the suppression, he didn't run away, holding a dead look.

I saw Zhao Yong take out more than 100 rockets from the axle company, insert the rockets into the iron pipe, and then ignite them.

In the mournful whistling sound, one rocket after another dragged the orange-red tail flame and roared into the cottage. Only an explosion was heard, followed by a faint scream, and then a fire ignited.

There are two types of rocket launch tubes, one is a single-engine tube, which can be carried directly by horses. One is the vehicle-mounted launch tube, which looks similar to the rocket launchers of later generations, and there are a total of fifteen launch tubes on the vehicle. The wooden pole tied to the rocket is inserted into the tube, and the fuses of the fifteen rockets are lit together, and the fifteen rockets fly out in unison.

This rocket is the Griss rocket just developed by the Ordnance Bureau, and due to the short time, only more than 200 have been manufactured, and this is the first time it has been put into combat use.

However, now this rocket is not called a Gris rocket, and the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau call it the Vulcan Cannon, because this rocket has a super fire ability and can perform area damage like a cannon.

The main way to destroy buildings is by burning, and the lethality of the Vulcan cannon is stronger than the solid bullet of the cannon, and the enemy within a radius of three meters will die. The disadvantage is that the landing point is too large, and the accuracy cannot be effectively controlled, but it cannot withstand the fast launch speed, as long as there are enough launch tubes and rockets, it can form a bombing effect that is denser than artillery.

The firing range is about 1,500 meters, and the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau are studying ways to increase the firing range, and the cost of a Vulcan cannon has reached about one tael of silver.

More than 30 rockets were fired in one go, and the bandits' stockade directly ignited a fire, and the bandits in the stockade could not save them due to the lack of a large amount of water on the mountain.

The power of this Vulcan cannon and the spectacular scene effect made a group of soldiers look at it with one eye on the other.

Zhao Yong enjoyed watching it, and saw that the bandits on the mountain were still insisting, so he ordered: "Shoot it all out for me." ”
