The first army of Lantian was assembled rapidly, the first division and the third division reacted quickly, and the assembly was completed quickly.

At this time, on the playground, the endless soldiers lined up in a neat queue, looking horizontally in rows, vertically in columns, horizontally and vertically, fully showing the orders and prohibitions of this army.

Li Chaohuo, the commander of the first division, is the general of the Li family, and he is also the old qualification of Li Chaosheng's first response to the formation of the security team, and the third division commander Li Chaofeng is also the old qualification at that time.

Li Chaolong's first army is very different from other armies, this first army is Lantian's Gongwei army, also known as Lantian's pro-guard army, among which the most officials at all levels are still the generals of the Li family's relatives.

The advantages and disadvantages of this are very obvious, the advantage is that they are loyal enough, their glory and wealth are all pinned on Li Chaosheng, so they will desperately defend Li Chaosheng in danger, even if they die, they can't let Li Chaosheng have any danger, after all, they are dead, Li Chaosheng can protect the glory and wealth of their family, if Li Chaosheng lives and dies, Lantian's foundation will be over, and it is unknown whether they can have today's glory.

Therefore, the loyalty of this army is much higher than that of other armies, which is somewhat similar to the Cao family and the Xiahou family started by Cao Cao.

As for the shortcomings, it is equally obvious, that is, these people are loyal enough, but their strength is not necessarily the strongest.

In terms of military ability, the most capable army in Lantian is the second army in Naturalization City, Li Chaohu's ability is indeed outstanding, and his military ability is also very strong, and the generals under his command are meritocratic, and at present, the number of generals surnamed Li is no longer overwhelming, and some of his talents began to shine, such as Qian Twelve, this young man is still very powerful.

The main reason why Li Dingguo's division is not as strong as Li Chaohu's army is that he has only one division, and Li Chaohu is an army.

It was followed by Wang Guixiang's cavalry division.

Finally, there are the integrated divisions in these large armies, because they are the integrated divisions in the large corps, so there will be a little problem, that is, they pay attention to collective cooperation, so the courage of individual divisions may only occupy the second place in the assessment.

The first is to pay attention to team cooperation, to consider the coordination of the whole army, and not to pay much attention to emphasizing the bravery of a division and an individual.

However, the Northwest Division and the Cavalry Division are listed separately, and the individual ability of the entire division is very demanding, so these two divisions may be more powerful if they fight alone.

The 1st and 2nd Divisions assembled very quickly.

The two division commanders also received orders at this time and came to the military headquarters as soon as possible, and saw Li Chaolong talking with Li Chaosheng at a glance.

"County honor, military commander."

The two quickly greeted and saluted, Li Chaosheng looked at the two and smiled: "Well, yes, it's getting more and more like a teacher." ”

The two of them were immediately embarrassed when they were praised, and then looked at Li Chaosheng and smiled shyly: "They are all cultivated by the county." ”

Li Chaosheng said: "Okay, the big guys are all brothers, you don't need to be so polite, how is the army gathered?" ”

"Report that the county has been assembled and can leave at any time."

"Well, very good, today's matter is very important, it is related to the safety of 80,000 people, you must be careful with your life, bring all your family wealth to Lao Tzu, don't pick and lose the face of our Lantian field."

"Rest assured, we will definitely bring our family background with us, and we will not embarrass Lantian."

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "That's good, then the army is ready to set off." ”

Hearing this, everyone clasped their fists and said, "Yes." ”

Li Chaosheng turned around and left, regardless of the specific military deployment here, but Li Chaolong called the two of them to him and said, "Both of you have given me one hundred and twenty points of energy, do you know that this operation must be lost?" ”

"The commander we know, the county has said that this operation is about 80,000 people, we will not treat it as a child's play, and we will go all out to save the people from being poisoned by thieves."

"Fart!"

Li Chaolong couldn't help but burst into foul language when he heard this, Li Chaohuo and Li Chaofeng looked at Li Chaolong in surprise at this time and said: "Where did the army commander say this, could it be that he was dissatisfied with the county honor?" Brother Chaolong, this is your mistake, the county is not thin on us, let us go from an unknown farmer to a big man who now has a heavy army in his hands and can stomp his feet in Daming, we can't be grateful. ”

"Yes, Brother Long, we have known each other for decades, you are not an ignorant person, how can you have an opinion on the county zun, if Brother Long has any dissatisfaction, tell the two of us, we will personally ask the county zun for a result, and the county zun will definitely arrange it properly."

"Yes, Brother Long, what are you dissatisfied with, you say."

As soon as the two of them heard that Li Chaolong slandered Li Chaosheng, they immediately became anxious, the county zun was not something they should discuss.

Even if it is Li Chaolong, the cousin of the county leader can't be disrespectful to the county and say the word fart.

Hearing this, Li Chaolong's face darkened, and he looked at the two of them and shouted: "When did Lao Tzu slander the county honor, did Lao Tzu say that you fart, what the fuck are you thinking?" ”

Li Chaolong was angry by the two, and then glared at him and shouted: "Time is pressing, Lao Tzu doesn't talk nonsense with you, I tell you, bring your family to Lao Tzu, this time the county zun will also follow the expedition, if the county zun breaks a little skin, even chopping off your head is not enough to apologize, do you understand?" ”

"Ah, the county lord followed us on the expedition, this county venerable has not gone out in person for many years, this ......"

Li Chaolong said: "The county said that he mainly looked at the combat effectiveness of our first army this time, which is an assessment, so it will be passed on to Lao Tzu. ”

"Yes, understood."

When the two heard this, they immediately saluted, followed by immediately going back to mobilize the army, and by the way, they told the soldiers about the county zun going out with them, which would definitely make the soldiers excited, who wouldn't want to show their bravery in front of the county zun?

Winter Winter ......

The three armies beat the drums, and the soldiers went out to fight.

Li Chaosheng stood at the head of Tongguan City, and behind him stood Li Chaomeng, the commander of his own personal guards, and Gu Zi, the secretary and supervisor.

Looking at the neat new military uniforms of Lantian below, with a neat team and the soldiers of the First Army carrying Lantian's latest improved flintlock pistol on their shoulders, Li Chaosheng couldn't help but sigh: Majestic, high-spirited, cross Tongguan, kill jackals!

Gu Zi saw that Li Chaosheng's casual slogan was so rhyming, and he shouted loudly: "The county honorifies the slogan: majestic, high-spirited, cross the Tongguan, kill the jackal!" Circulate the three armies, shout! “

Gu Zi roared, and the officers who followed by the city gate heard this and recited it silently, and immediately shouted: "The whole army shouted: majestic, high-spirited, cross the Tong Pass, kill the jackal!" ”

"Majestic, high-spirited, cross the Tong Pass, kill the jackal!"

This slogan is like dominoes, one of the troops began to shout, and soon spread throughout the army, for a time the spirit of all the soldiers was encouraged, one by one's eyes widened, feeling that they were full of fighting spirit, the county not only went out with them, but also gave them a slogan, this battle must be fought well.

And for the 400,000 Chuang Wang Army that is about to face, the Lantian Army was not frightened by this terrible number at all, if you just take a red tassel gun and count it as a soldier, then almost all the people in Lantian are soldiers.

And such soldiers, not to mention anything else, as long as they are given a bunker, their 20,000 people can definitely wipe them out, isn't it one to twenty? What a big deal.

I asked, a soldier armed with a Lantian flintlock pistol, covered by cannons, and carrying ten grenades on his back, can one person deal with twenty rogues armed with spears?

And it seems to be one to twenty, in fact, as long as they start to kill seven or eight people, their morale will be weakened, and when they kill a dozen or so soldiers, their morale will collapse, and when the time comes, they don't need him to fight, and the soldiers who flee will be enough to disperse the enemy army behind.

Therefore, in this battle, they did not think that they would lose, and they all said that the arrogant army would be defeated, which means that if the difference in weapons between the two sides is not large, it may lead to defeat by underestimating the enemy.

Compared with the equipment of the Lantian First Army, Li Zicheng Liukou army, who also uses broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, is not too much to say that the dimensionality reduction blow is not too much.

It's all dimensionally reduced, how do you say you lost this battle?

Some people say that the dimensionality reduction strike is a bit exaggerated, but for example, the current level of firearms in Lantian is infinitely close to the Eight-Nation Alliance three hundred years later.

Thousands of Eight-Nation Coalition troops can easily defeat more than 100,000 Manchu defenders in the capital, enter the palace, and burn the Old Summer Palace, so Li Chaosheng's 20,000 elites can't defeat Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands?

The army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time was again stronger than the peasants with hoes gathered by Li Zicheng now!

Li Chaosheng was thinking about it, at this time a double-row carriage came out from behind, and behind the carriage was a cannon tube rubbed with tung oil emitting black light, this is Lantian's latest artillery, strengthened Type 40 rifled gun, this is the real weapon of dimensionality reduction, this cannon has the advantage of long range, high accuracy, strong destructive power, it is a big guy that is difficult to compare with conventional artillery, and it is also the latest type of artillery in Lantian at present.

Before the Type 50 artillery gun using Thundermercury came out, this was the crystallization of Lantian's highest wisdom.

A full hundred of these artillery pieces were pulled out of the city gate, and for these hundred artillery pieces, Li Chaolong fully allocated a regiment of troops to these artillery pieces to form an independent rifled artillery regiment.

Watching this cannon being dragged out of the carriage from the city gate, Li Chaomeng had a cold war, and he found that the battlefield in the future may not be the world he galloped in.

In the face of such a cannon, if he is hit by a bombardment, he will be disabled if he does not die, so he often remembers what the county zun told him, the future is an era of teamwork, and it is no longer a matter of fighting individual bravery.

You are strong enough now that you may fight a hundred people alone, but in the future, you may have to be afraid of a squad with a loaded gun on the battlefield alone, and personal bravery can no longer be used as the standard for victory on the battlefield.

Li Chaomeng couldn't feel it before, but when he saw these 100 swarthy cannon holes, he realized that personal bravery is really useless in the future, no wonder the county is so attentive to the cannon, and always says that the truth is only within the range of the cannon, with this thing, who dares to be unreasonable with you.

Li Chaomeng used to think that the truth should be under his stick, but now it seems that the truth should probably be under this cannon.

The artillery regiment set off, and Li Chaosheng saw this and said: "Let's go, it's time for us to set off too, Mengzi, gather the personal guard battalion." ”

"Yes."

Mengzi responded and went to gather the guard camp, but halfway through, Li Chaomeng came back and said, "Hehe, county honor, please do something?" ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Mengzi in surprise and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"That, can the cannon below be equipped with a few for our personal guard battalion, it looks weird."

Li Chaosheng glanced at Mengzi when he heard the words and said: "Get out, the pro-guard battalion focuses on mobility, and it is used to protect Lao Tzu, what are you doing with a bunch of cannons?" Who are you going to bomb? ”

Li Chaomeng was scolded by Li Chaosheng, and the embarrassed Mo touched the back of his head, turned around and gathered the guard camp.

Gu Zi smiled on the side: "Brother Mengzi really looks at what he wants." ”

Li Chaosheng smiled: "This is also his merit. ”

Soon the troops were assembled, and Li Chaosheng rode his fire dragon horse and said, "Let's have a horse and rest in Michi tonight." ”

"Yes."

After saying that, everyone was dusty and went straight to the direction of Michi.

As soon as Li Chaolong saw Li Chaosheng like this, he hurriedly ordered the first division and the third division to send their respective cavalry regiments to protect Li Chaosheng, so as not to put the county in danger, and he stayed behind to rush with the army.

An army of 20,000 rushed to Michi.

At this time, the people in the city had already gone out of the city one after another, and the Qin army that had been walking in the city had climbed the city gate tower, and when Sun Chuanting came out to see all this, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly stopped an old man pushing a wheelbarrow; "Fellow, where are you going?"

The old man was still a little afraid when he saw Sun Chuanting wearing his helmet and armor, and said: "The thieves are about to come in, I have to escape from Xin'an County to escape for my life." ”

"Can you survive out of Xin'an County?"

Hearing this, the old man nodded very seriously and said: "We will definitely be able to live, we are going to Lantian to escape, as long as we arrive in Lantian, we will have a good life, and we will be able to eat enough." ”

Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and said: "There is still a long distance from Lantian here, if you escape, if you are discovered by the thieves, won't you be hunted down?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "That's no way, it's all fate, but there is a little advantage, that is, we don't have to flee to Lantian, just go to Mianchi, I heard that there is an army of Lantian there." ”

"Michi?"

Sun Chuanting calculated that the distance was about a hundred miles, and Nu should be able to reach it in one day and one night, and if there were Lantian people there to respond, he would definitely be able to avoid this war.

Sun Chuanting was talking to his fellow countrymen, when suddenly there was a panic outside, and someone shouted: "It's not good, there is a large cavalry in the distance!" It's like a thief! ”
