Chapter 1138: Preparing for the Feast
Nanyuan, the martial arts field, this was originally the station of the second town of the Tianwei Army, and all the elite forces of the second town are here.
Zhu Jie is to use the most elite force of the Ming Dynasty to deter the ambitions of the Mongolian tribes that have not yet completely surrendered, and the Beijing camp in the capital is not impossible, but compared to the second town of the Tianwei army full of killings, those soldiers in the Beijing camp can only be regarded as rookies, and it is indeed a big gap from the second town.
"Your Majesty, the second town of the Tianwei Army has been assembled, and I ask the emperor to patrol it!"
Deputy Chief Soldier Dong Xi walked quickly in front of Zhu Jie, knelt on one knee, and said loudly.
"Well, Dong Xi, get up!"
Behind Zhu Jie, on both sides, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the Mongolian khans all boarded the parade platform, and on the martial arts field, 5,000 elite cavalry and 5,000 infantry stood in two huge phalanxes, majestic, high-spirited, murderous, everyone was sharp, and everyone from afar could smell the bloody breath of these soldiers.
"Vulture Race!"
Zhu Jie shouted.
The vultures hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here!" ”
Zhu Jie smiled: "How is this strong team of mine, can it be compared to your Mongolian elite horse?" ”
The vultures grinned, and wanted to say something unconvinced, but they couldn't say it, it was not that Zhu Jie used his status to oppress people, but that the cavalry under his command was not at the same level at all in front of the second town elite cavalry of the Tianwei Army, even if it was the Mongolian elite cavalry, it had always been a strong force, but after all, it was no longer the era of Genghis Khan, and now the Mongolian cavalry was not as good as before, and it couldn't even compare with the Eight Banners of Manchuria, not to mention the elite of the second town of the Tianwei Army who could beat the elites of the two yellow flags in disarray?
It can be said that the elite cavalry of the second town of the Tianwei Army and the elite cavalry of the right town of Nanjing are the most brave and combative cavalry among hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, and they are the trump card power in Zhu Jie's hands!
"Uh...... The emperor, the minister was frightened, the minister lost his words, the strong force of the Tianwei army in front of him can be said to be the most majestic and elite iron-blooded hero that the minister has seen for decades, there is no one, even if it is the elite of the Zhenghuang Banner that dominated the world back then, it is nothing more than that, the cavalry of the minister is just a chicken and a dog in front of these elites......"
The vultures had to lower their arrogant heads, if they didn't accept it, they couldn't do it, not to mention anything else, just these five thousand elite horsemen could definitely easily crush the cavalry of the Zalut Division!
"Hmph, it's good to know!"
Gao Jie snorted coldly on the side: "Wujiao Competition, this official can make you understand that this Tianwei Army is the elite of the second town of the Tianwei Army personally led by Qin Mufeng, crisscrossing the north and south of the river, and has never been defeated!" ”
"Okay, Yingwu, it's a mule or a horse, and you won't know until you pull it out and slip it out!"
Zhu Jie said lightly, "Mu Feng is not here today, Yingwu, you will personally command this martial arts!" ”
Gao Jie hurriedly bowed down and said, "Obey the order!" ”
As he spoke, Gao Jie took off his court clothes, stepped on his war horse, and shouted: "Dong Xi, herald, the infantry will withdraw from the martial arts field, select two thousand cavalry, and conduct martial arts exercises and cavalry drills!" ”
Dong Xi on the side agreed, and with a wave of the flag, the soldiers of the second town dispersed in an instant, and the infantry had retreated outside the martial arts arena, leaving only two thousand elite horsemen in the field.
"Kill!"
In the huge martial arts field, only two thousand elite horsemen broke out with an earth-shaking roar, the war horse neighed, the four hooves let go, and began a crazy sprint on the martial arts field, the two cavalry continued to intersperse together, outflanking, entangled, waving the saber, and the cold light flickered!
"Your Majesty, where are their bows and arrows? How come your cavalry does not have bows and arrows? ”
The vultures on the side asked in amazement.
Zhu Jie smiled slightly, and said to Liu Sili on the side: "Liu Sili, pass the order to Lord Gao, the cavalry shooting begins!" ”
Liu Sili agreed and turned to go down.
After a short time, the cavalry on the martial arts arena had already lined up in two columns, and began to gallop around the martial arts arena, and one by one the cavalry took off the flintlock muskets from behind and pulled the trigger almost at the same time!
Bang bang......
One bullet after another, accompanied by the dense gunfire to draw an arc, straight to the target in the field, three hundred steps away, the root stake that had already been erected, was instantly beaten into a sieve by the bullets, the cavalry's gallop was not over, the cavalry in front passed, and the cavalry in the back continued to catch up and continue to fire!
In the blink of an eye, all the 2,000 cavalry had been launched and stopped, only to see that the tree roots and stakes in the distance were still emitting green smoke, and the stumps were densely packed with craters!
Bang......
The dense bullets made one of the stumps finally overwhelmed and collapsed directly to the ground, and in just two or three minutes, this stump withstood the baptism of hundreds of bullets and was completely destroyed by the flintlock musket!
All the Mongol khans were already stunned, this was a wooden stake with the thickness of a hug, and it was directly smashed by bullets! The firearms of this Ming army are so powerful, no wonder these cavalry don't have bows and arrows, with this firearms, fools will use bows and arrows! The range of the best cavalry bows and arrows is only about 200 paces, but these muskets have already broken the stakes 300 steps away.
"The musket demonstration is over, so we should look at our artillery, right?"
Zhu Jie smiled and said: "Liu Sili, tell Lord Gao Jie that the artillery battalion is ready, and after the side dishes, it's time for a big meal!" ”
Gao Jie walked over quickly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is not very convenient to conduct artillery exercises in the martial arts field here, please go to our artillery test site to watch, the artillery battalion of the second town is already ready over there, please also ask the emperor to move ......"
Zhu Jie nodded and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then let's go to the artillery test site!" ”
The crowd followed Dong Xi and came to the artillery test site under the protection of the cavalry of the second town.
When all the Khans saw the artillery test site, they all gasped!
I'm a good girl! Immortal God, there are at least sixty or seventy artillery pieces in a test field! There are so many artillery pieces concentrated here, what kind of landscape will it be once a hundred cannons are fired!
Gao Jie and Dong Xi sent Gao Jie and others to the parade platform, and each of the khans present was holding a single-headed telescope that had just been issued, a group of dirt buns, almost all of them saw this thing for the first time, and they were fiddling with it strangely, and several soldiers of the Tianwei Army told them the method they used.
Zhu Jie made a color to Gao Jie, signaling that he could start.
Gao Jie nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our shooting targets this time are all five miles away, and over there, there is an artificially piled earth mountain, which is our target!" Artillery exercises, start right away! ”
