In the school field outside Jinzhou City, the square array of two companies is in the middle of the school field, behind them is three hundred cavalry, and in front of the phalanx is a line formation composed of one hundred flintlock pikemen is moving forward, and there is a light copper flute sound between the step drums, which is very pleasant to listen to in the step drums, at least Brother Guan feels very relaxed when he listens to it.

However, when they went to the battlefield, they also played music, which everyone thought was somewhat strange, what they didn't know was that this light song was made by Lord Chen, and in his previous life it was called the March of the Grenadier, and the sound of the brass flute did have the effect of relieving tension

The officers in the front row shouted, and as soon as the drumbeat stopped, Zhong Laosi's voice sounded, "Stop, stop, stop." ”

There was a low sigh of despair among the officers and soldiers who were training, Zhong Laosi rode a miscellaneous horse and roared to the front, their thousand headquarters was the original first general of the peasants and soldiers, and after the battle in Jinzhou, they came to reorganize, the grassroots officers did not move much, but the high-level also made some fine-tuning, and the old Qian general Fan Shouye was transferred to the Jimo battalion. Although Zhong Laosi was punished, but his exploits were there, and after he made up for the confinement, he was promoted to one level this time and became the commander of the mounted infantry, in charge of two companies.

Zhong Laosi and a cavalry officer ran around in front of him, and after some observation, he said to the cavalry officer: "Mr. Tan, the gap is still too narrow, the number of infantry is still more, the cavalry is not good to pass through the guò and quickly line up, if it is a long time, the opposite side will have time to adjust the defense line, maybe it will be relieved, and your cavalry will not be able to please you in the past." ”

The Tan brother he called was Tan Shen, the new battalion officer of the cavalry battalion, who had always been Zhu Guobin's deputy before, and now Zhu Guobin has been promoted to the fourth mixed battalion officer. He became the commander of the cavalry battalion

Tan Shen glanced at Zhong Laosi, "Then what do you say?" ”

"Only our detachments will be transferred. Two detachments of one hundred men are divided into two phalanxes, separated by three rounds of cavalry. In this way, the front of the cavalry is larger, and the detachment is divided into four squads, four rows in front and back, in two groups, and the enemy formation will be chaotic, and your cavalry will be able to charge at once. After rushing back, the detachment loaded its ammunition and did it again. ”

Tan Shen scratched his scalp, he was pulled by this Zhong Laosi to experiment with the new tactics of mixed infantry and cavalry, and he was overwhelmed, and he didn't know what the reason was. Zhu Guobin specially explained that he had to listen to Zhong Laosi in mixed training, so that he had to cooperate with this somewhat neurotic general, and he said to Zhong Laosi without any jīng: "Anyway, you are talking about it, then you rearrange the formation, today is the last time, there are many recruits on my side, and I have to practice marching in the army." ”

"Done." Zhong Laosi said that he would do it, and shouted for the spearmen to evacuate, leaving only two detachments. Columns are two five-column phalanxes. Three cavalry bureaus slowly came to the flanks and middle of the musketeers.

After the spearmen simulated two rounds of Qi shè, the cavalry immediately attacked, galloping and rehearsing a hundred-step charge, waiting for the cavalry to return. Zhong Laosi was still shouting to himself, "The front of the spearman is a little wider, and he also scored to disassemble it." Split into four teams of two squads each. Hey, hey. Tan Shen, why did you leave......"

Tan Shen had already ridden ahead on horseback, only turned around and waved his hand, and ran away for his life.

Zhong Laosi scolded in a low voice, and a company commander beside him came over, "Lord Zong, Tan Shen said just now, if you drill again, you will have to practice their own subjects, shouldn't we continue to practice marching, you ......?"

"Lao Tzu knows, what is there to practice on the march, let's walk neatly, will it be chaotic to ride a horse, let's just march on horseback, we have to walk when we fight, practicing fighting is the right thing, and Lao Tzu has to add a four-pounder cannon after riding and training."

The company commander flattered and said: "Add whatever you say, let's add forty pounds in the future, but now we still have to practice horseback riding, you are used to riding horses, we can't compare, you look at the big brother Guan, now the horse is not neat, and the copper flute will not be able to walk clearly." ”

"Brother Guan? Not just him, how many people are stupider than him, others. Zhong Lao and the four jumped off the horse and swaggered to the first row of Brother Guan.

"Brother Guan, why are you so stupid, who told you to listen to the sound of the flute, you just need to listen to the drum beat."

Brother Guan was stunned, Zhong Laosi kicked over and scolded: "The literacy test is the fucking first-to-last, you waste your vigor like this, you can't be an officer for the rest of your life, you can't fucking do it once?" ”

Brother Guan wanted to scratch his head again, Zhong Laosi was about to swing the whip with a quick hand, and Brother Guan hurriedly put his hand down and said, "I see that those words are almost the same, and I can't recognize them together." ”

Zhong Laosi stared at him for a while and scolded: "The dog thing is stupid enough, I can't recognize all two hundred words, if you can't take the test this time, you won't be able to catch up with the reorganization and promotion, fortunately, there is a non-commissioned officer now, Lao Tzu will always get one for you." ”

"Thank you." Brother Guan smiled stupidly.

Zhong Laosi pointed behind Brother Guan, "Get on the horse and practice, if you can't sit steadily, you are not allowed to eat dinner." After eating, others rest, and the drum and trumpet are practiced alone for fools like you, and if you don't want to be scolded by them, you should be fucking clever. ”

Brother Guan's captain agreed: "I think the general is high, this Brother Guan is too stupid, and I am afraid of it." ”

Zhong Lao raised his four hands, "The old rule, Brother Guan's team sits together and accompanies the practice." ”

The captain asked with a sad face, Zhong Laosi had already strode away, "The trumpeter blows the trumpet, the enemy is encountered during the march, if the speed of dismounting and assembling is slower than last time, Lao Tzu will deduct all your roast meat tonight." ”

The flag-bearer hurriedly played the horse flag, the trumpeter sounded the horse trumpet, more than 500 soldiers got on the horse one after another, and Brother Guan was even more hurried, and the miscellaneous horse was still twisting left and right.

Without waiting for him to adjust, as soon as he sounded the marching horn, the mounted infantry began to march outside the school field, preparing to return to the school field for a period of training, Zhong Laosi looked at the team and scolded in his mouth, "What kind of copper flute is added well, and it is not singing, it must be Liu Pojun who is a dog rì came up with it." ”

After he finished scolding, he shouted, and two four-pounder cannons followed him, chasing the tail of the line......

This drill did not end until almost dark, they washed the horses and fed the horses outside the city, and then returned to the urn city to rest and eat, here is the south gate of Jinzhou, called Cheng'en Gate, the urn city is very wide, there are some garrisons on the city wall, they are some infantry, the total number is 500 people, the formation belongs to the Lushun garrison, Ping rì is only responsible for guarding the Jinzhou city, if the Jiannu army attacks, they will retreat by sea on the west side of Guò, these people will return to Lushun in advance before the winter comes.

Zhong Laosi led the guards, rode to the battalion headquarters in the city, and reported the training subjects and results to the training staff officer, the staff officer recorded it, Zhong Laosi signed, and then he finished the routine, he scolded all the way back, and now the regulations are getting more and more detailed, and there are many rules and regulations, every time a new regulation comes out, he has to scold to relieve hatred.

After returning to Wengcheng, it happened to be time to eat, and the whole division gathered in small teams, and after a trumpet sounded, the officers and soldiers began to eat. The arduous training made them all eat yù yù greatly vibrated that there was only the sound of chewing in the entire urn city, and not a single person spoke.

Zhong Laosi didn't go to the division, but mixed into the first row nearby, sat on the ground with the soldiers and devoured it, after the first bun was padded to the bottom, he could still find time to teach Brother Guan a few words, and Brother Guan munched on steamed cakes without reaction.

Halfway through the meal, the quartermaster walked up to their platoon and shouted, "First row, fifteen letters from home." ”

The soldiers in the first row threw down the dishes and chopsticks, and surrounded them in a chaotic manner, and those who got the letters were so happy that they danced happily, and hurriedly ran to the fire to look through them, and the other soldiers all surrounded them, but most of these soldiers could not recognize a few words, even if they passed the exam, they only had two or three hundred literates, and they could only have some troops, faces, and banners.

Now the letter is also listed as one of the military assets, especially for the troops stationed in Lushun, many of these people are transferred from the peasant and soldier companies, and most of them have families in Wendeng. Chen Xin believes that the family letter can greatly boost morale, and asks to be sent with grain and grass, and the current sending and receiving is done by the comprehensive store, and only charges a fee of two cents. This investment did work, and the soldiers always felt that there was a hope, and now they have just sent two batches of letters, and their morale has improved a lot.

Brother Guan took advantage of others to get the letter, desperately grabbing the buns, Zhong Laosi saw that he didn't move, so he asked Brother Guan, "Why don't you go and take a look?" ”

Brother Guan wrapped his mouth full of cakes and said vaguely: "My mother, I ...... My sister can't write. ”

"Isn't there a younger brother?"

"He never writes to his family, let alone me." Brother Guan swallowed the cake and prepared to eat the next one.

"Your younger brother is not from that class, he is a scholar, why don't you know how to write letters?"

Brother Guan shook his head, "What is the science and technology class called, it is said that I can see Mr. Liu every three or five times." Why don't you write a letter I don't know, anyway, it's too busy, and besides, he doesn't like to talk to me since he was a child, so he loves to talk to my mother, and I talk a lot with my little sister. ”

Zhong Laosi kicked over and scolded: "Your mother, your mother, Lao Tzu asked you to see if there is Lao Tzu, and if there is, bring it to Lao Tzu." ”

Brother Guan patted the footprints on his buttocks, ran over while eating, pushed away the person in front of him a few times, stayed in it for a while, and came out, really took a letter.

Zhong Laosi said in surprise: "Your mother, do you really have Lao Tzu's letter?" Could it be that Zhou Shao'er wrote it? ”

"It's my letter, read it for me."

"I don't know a word, and I still have a letter." Zhong Laosi grabbed it in disappointment, tore open the envelope and read it, "Brother, I'm going...... Phew, your mother, Lao Tzu still calls you brother, re-read it. Brother Guan, I went to the art team, I have one or two monthly salaries, and when you come back, I will buy you filter cigarettes, your sister! Zhong Laosi turned around and looked at the back, "Is this over?" Who is your sister? ”

Brother Guan snatched it back and looked at himself, as if he could understand it, "It's my sister." ”

Zhong Laosi shook his head, "Your sister, your family is all stupid, anyway, it's all two pennies, I don't know how to let people write a few more words." (To be continued.) )

PS: Ask for a monthly pass.
