rifling to allow the bullet to shoot farther; Mini bullets, which maintain the airtightness of the barrel and shoot farther; The bullet and gunpowder are combined, which reduces the loading speed. Let the musket, at a low level, be able to shoot a long distance.

Of course, this kind of advanced development also comes at a price.

The rifling can only be carved by hand by craftsmen, and when some engravings are made, they are not well made, resulting in the scrapping of the barrel. The combination of bullet and gunpowder makes the barrel thick all the time.

After letting Yue Fei see the power of the musket for the first time, Zhao Pu let him see collective firearm shooting.

First, five hundred musketeers came out of the ranks, forming two firing formations.

A firing formation, divided into three rows, when the first row is finished, then turn to the third row, reload the ammunition, ready to shoot again; At the same time, the second line advanced to the firing position of the original first line and continued firing. And so on, you can achieve the purpose of continuous shooting.

Another firing formation is in which the soldiers of the previous line hand the tubular firearms back to the soldiers in the middle row immediately after each shot; At the same time, the soldiers in the middle row took the loaded firearms and continued to shoot. On the one hand, the soldiers in the middle row are responsible for receiving the firearms after the shot from the hands of the soldiers in the previous row, and passing them back to the soldiers in the third row to load the ammunition; On the other hand, it is responsible for receiving the loaded firearms from the hands of the soldiers in the third row and passing them forward to the soldiers in the front row.

Then, there was a real combat exercise.

Participating in the battle were the Guards, armed with advanced firearms.

The whole army has a total of 5,900 people, and all branches of the army cooperate. There were cavalry, there were pikemen, there were artillerymen. There are charioteers, etc., and several arms cooperate.

There were about 2,500 musketeers, all armed with firearms, and specialized in long-range strikes, specializing in shooting cavalry and archers. Taking into account the flintlock pistol, it is not affected by rain. The disadvantage is that the failure rate is high; The arquebus, on the other hand, is strong and durable, and the price is low. However, it is easy to get damp and inconvenient in rainy days. Among musketeers, flintlock pistols and arquebuses are armed with a ratio of 1:2.

Another 1,000 people. Equipped with a three-zhang long spear. Responsible for covering, responsible for intercepting cavalry, infantry attacks.

The cavalry of 1,000 people, equipped with sabers, spears, flintlock pistols, daggers, etc., is mainly used to cover the two wings, used to impact the enemy's formation, long-distance flintlock musket shooting, close-range spear assassination. If you get closer to the saber and chop, if you are unfortunate enough to roll off the warhorse. Then fight with a dagger.

The artillery force is 800 people, equipped with twenty bronze cannons, thirty flying thunder cannons, and daggers, long knives, etc. as self-defense weapons.

There were another 300 men, considered charioteers, who were mainly placed in the rear, blocking enemy attacks on the rear, and at the same time cutting off their own rear routes.

There are 300 more people, who are considered to be miscellaneous and take care of the baggage.

There is no shield as a protection. Because Zhao Pu felt that it was not necessary, attack was the best defense.

With the waving of the flag, a group of soldiers moved rapidly, as if a dancing flame was burning, because all the soldiers of the army were wearing fiery red battle skirts, battle armor, and battle flags were also fiery red. Just because Zhao Pu felt that red was more passionate and could inspire the fighters to fight to the death.

What's more, red is the most obvious on the battlefield, the most vulnerable to enemy attacks, and the least easy to run away.

Yue Fei looked at it, his eyes were hot.

Before, Yue Fei's army also had some gunpowder weapons, but they were more used as test products, testing the power of gunpowder weapons, and testing gunpowder weapons was insufficient.

At this moment, this army has considerable combat effectiveness in terms of tactics, quantity, and quality.

"This firearms army, handed over to you for the time being, can be regarded as a surprise attack, and have a better chance of winning!" Zhao Pudao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yue Fei said

"Li Quan, you have to listen to General Yue's command, and you must not disobey military orders!" Zhao Pu said to a red-robed general again.

"The last will know!"

Li Quan happily accepted the order.

Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while. The emperor spent a lot of money to build a firearms army, naturally not to be an honor guard, nor to have fun. Rather, it is to fight, to show the value of existence with outstanding military exploits, and as the saying goes, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

If you can't get the value you deserve, then die!

…………

"Next, I want to show you a terrible weapon, which is also the key to the success of this surprise attack!" Zhao Pu took a deep breath and walked towards the depths of the courtyard, the deeper he went, the stricter the guards, the bows and crossbows were complete, and the swords were bright.

At this time, some guards were left outside, and only Zhao Pu, Wang Wuyue, Yue Fei and the other three entered the depths.

Yue Fei's mood became more and more nervous. The higher the level of secrecy, the more important and fascinating it is.

The door was opened.

One by one, the coffins entered the eyes.

Yue Fei was stunned in his heart: "How are there a few coffins!" ”

"This is my last gift to you, the coffin!" Zhao Pu said with a smile.

Yue Fei immediately said: "The minister will definitely live up to his mission, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become benevolent!" ”

This is a coffin carrying the expedition!

Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "Open the coffin and look again!" ”

When I opened the coffin, I saw that it was wrapped in a quilt and wrapped tightly. Untied the quilt, only to see that there were yellow particles inside.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

"It's yellow gunpowder!" Zhao Pudao.

"Yellow gunpowder?" Yue Fei was stunned.

Without much explanation, what yellow gunpowder is. Zhao Pu just said: "General gunpowder is black, called black gunpowder; And this gunpowder is yellow, called yellow gunpowder. More powerful, explosive, more lethal. It's perfect to blow up the city walls! ”

In this era, cold weapons are dominant, and siege technology is backward. mostly relied on human lives to break through the city; Sometimes, even if a lot of soldiers die, they may not be able to break through the city. Many cities rely on sieges to run out of food, exhaust the equipment to defend the city, and finally break through the city.

Historically, the Jin army besieged Taiyuan and it took a year to break through. The main reason is that there is no food in Taiyuan, otherwise it can still be supported. The Jin army besieged Bianliang twice, which took half a year. did not break through Bianliang, if it weren't for the emperor's lack of determination, he would still be able to support it.

The Mongol army's attack on Xiangyang City also lasted for five years, and it was also besieged so that Xiangyang did not have a grain of grain, and finally broke through.

And when attacking Diaoyu City, it fought for more than 30 years. It hasn't been breached yet. Later, Diaoyu City lowered its yuan on the condition that no one in the city could be killed. Drop your weapon. Voluntarily terminate resistance. In 1279, the defender Wang Li opened the city, and the Diaoyu City fell into the hands of the Mongols. You must know that the Mongols have killed more than 100 million people in the process of invading the world. All the cities that resisted were slaughtered, and they were slaughtered cleanly. Only after resisting for 36 years by Diaoyu City, he retreated, and used his strength to make the Mongolian army put down the butcher's knife.

In the Battle of Monk Yuan, several thousand Song troops resisted the siege of 100,000 Jin troops.

this era. The hardest thing to fight is siege warfare.

And want to be quick to solve. The best tactic to quickly break the city is to dig a hole under the city wall, then bury the coffin, fill it with gunpowder, and then seal it and blast it.

…………

The army was dispatched, and the four-way army was like a beast with teeth and claws. Rushing towards the Jin army.

Zhao Pu was idle all of a sudden, and some idle eggs hurt.

The best system. Even if there is no you, the country will still operate; The worst system is the lack of a famous general, or a famous minister, or a certain Ming monarch, and the result is that the country is inconvenient.

And Zhao Pu has been committed to building a system of "operating without you".

After all these years of hard work, the Song Dynasty operated according to the inherent model, there were no earth-shattering events, no things that broke the earth, and it did not affect him at all.

In the DPRK and China, most of the political affairs are run by the ministers mainly in the cabinet, and the military affairs are run by the generals headed by the military department, and there are still party disputes in the DPRK, which is mainly the dispute between the north and the south at this time, but it can no longer hurt the overall operation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Pu only needs proper supervision to prevent "train derailment".

Because there was nothing to do, or something stressful was busy, Zhao Pu became bored.

The Northern Expedition must not be impatient, the army needs to be pulled out step by step, one city after another, and if it is not fought for three or five months, it will not be clear; If you don't fight for a year or two, you won't be able to see the winner.

The battle continues, but it belongs to the front-line soldiers, not to him as a king.

Zhao Pu is a king, so he can only sit in Hangzhou City at the moment, waiting quietly.

The front line is victorious, and they are given celebratory wine; The front line is defeated, actively defend and defend the Yangtze River!

"Life is as lonely as snow, but it's a pity that I'm a king, and I want to go to the front line to fight but it's impossible!"

"It's a pity, I miss the years ago. At that time, there were few soldiers and generals, and the situation was dangerous, but there were fewer constraints, and at that time I could come forward to fight, but now, I can only sit here and wait for news! Whining! ”

Zhao Pu sighed. wanted to drive the expedition in person, but the civil and military forces stopped him; More importantly, it is far more important to sit in the rear and calm people's minds than to go to the front line to cause chaos!

The more Zhao Pu thought about it, the more sad he became.

The ass decides the head!

The position of the emperor determines that he can only be a chess player, sitting and watching the front line fight; And you can't be a pawn, you can't, go to the front line to experience the war.

More importantly, his command level is average, he has no Han Xin's talent, and he is even more distant from Napoleon.

Wang Wuyue said worriedly: "Your Majesty, can Yue Fei's surprise attack succeed?" ”

Zhao Pu replied: "I don't know! ”

"Your Majesty......"

"He's the most likely to succeed!" Zhao Pu took a deep breath and said, "Generally, as long as they fight a few battles, as long as they don't die, they will fight." However, some generals are born for war, and they are born to be famous generals, which is a talent that cannot be cultivated. I call this gift - intuition! ”

"Before the earthquake, people didn't feel it, but animals such as mice and chickens did, just because their intuition was stronger than that of humans. There is also a history of Wei Qing going out to conquer outside the Saiwai, the vast plain, more than 100,000 people seem to have sand into the sea, if you want to find the Xiongnu tribe, it is difficult to climb to the sky, but Wei Qing just relied on a strong intuition to find it, and then exterminated the Xiongnu! ”

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows victory or defeat until the next decision is made; On the battlefield, all intelligence is lagging behind, and all variables are possible. And if you want to achieve the final victory, you can't do without intuition! ”

Nodding, Wang Wuyue said: "Intuition is luck to put it bluntly!" ”

"Luck is part of strength. If the luck is too bad, it is difficult to go too far. If I hadn't been lucky, I might have died in the Golden Camp; If you are unlucky, the Great Song Dynasty may perish! Luck matters! ”

Zhao Pu said.

At this moment, Zhao Pu can only pin his hope on his intuition and illusory luck. (To be continued......)
