The expedition to the north rebelled against the army and moved the camp back to the city.

The main city of Hanzhou burned for nearly two days before it was burned clean, and nothing unclean could survive under such a fire.

That's why Fang Jue brought people back.

After all, there is nothing to rely on in the wilderness, there is no danger to defend, and it will be difficult to guard against it once it is attacked.

Day by day, Fang Jue plans to train his troops in the city, and here, he will be proficient in the battle formation drills based on the firearms battalion.

When the people of the Musket Bureau and the musket arrive, they can immediately form combat power.

"General, the soldiers are very puzzled, why do they have to practice such a battle formation, so that they feel that there is no discipline." Lin Bei said.

The battle formation, which is dominated by firearms battalions, is now incomprehensible to these generals.

They couldn't understand what kind of troops could make this stupid-looking battle formation form combat power in the area of a thousand households in the middle of the 1,000-household battalion area.

"You don't have to say it too clearly, just practice the evolution of this formation." Fang Jue said.

"It's ripe for a long time."

Lin Bei laughed: "This difficulty is too low, it's better to have a long snake formation, without any ......."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Jue knew that what he wanted to say was that there was no formation level at all.

As the main general, it is necessary to be familiar with the art of war, what is the basis of arranging troops, starting from the long snake formation to the so-called Bagua Longmen formation...... In addition to exercising soldiers' strength and training to obey orders, training in peacetime is the evolution of these formations.

When it comes to the battlefield, when there is not much difference in the number and combat strength of the two armies, the speed of these formations and changes is the key to the decisive victory.

And how many kinds of military formations are mastered, how many changes can be completed by the soldiers under them, and the speed at which they can deal with it...... These are all places that test the ability of a general on a daily basis.

After 100 days of training, it is not necessary to be proficient in a large number of battle formations, and it is inevitable that there will be chaos when it comes to the battlefield.

But Lin Bei felt that this kind of battle formation that Fang Juejiao could not be called a formation was simply too simple, and there was no need for the main general to dispatch in the center, just let the soldiers stand on a high place and say a flag at will.

This is also called a formation?

It's not just Lin Bei, when Fang Jue proposed this formation the day before yesterday, he was questioned by everyone, but it wasn't so intense.

The whole formation was completed in only half a day, and it was only because of the people who had to wait for the musket bureau that they had to practice it repeatedly.

"General, the whole army has a firearms battalion, such a way of fighting...... Can you really break the enemy? Lin Bei scratched his head and said.

Fang Jue said lightly: "General Lin, I said that times have changed...... When more firearms are equipped, the cavalry will no longer need to carry bows. ”

“……”

The waiting was cold, and in the midst of the ice and snow, Fang Jue stood on the high platform that had been erected, looking at the drills of the whole army with a smug expression.

This kind of parade-like perspective makes people feel what it means to have thousands of troops and horses, and what is an iron horse glacier.

"General, a large number of people have appeared outside the city, and the scouts have gone to ask." Someone came to report.

Fang Jue counted the time for a moment and said, "The people from the Musket Bureau should have arrived." ”

"Send someone to greet you."

Sure enough, when horses wrapped in cotton cloth appeared in the field of vision in the snow to the south, Fang Jue's eyes lit up.

"It's finally here."

It was the people of the Musket Bureau, and among the people who led the troops in front, there was a bright red.

It was Ye Hongyi, Fang Jue sent them back to answer, and they finally arrived.

……

The people from the Musket Bureau came, because it was a light cavalry attack, and they only stopped at the military post and Liangzhou along the way.

After learning that the army had gone north and the two states of Lianke, he quickly chased after him.

On this day, it was natural to give the Musket Bureau a pick-up, but the military resources were limited, so there was no big table.

After a singing and dancing, Fang Jue called several generals of the Musket Bureau to the handsome camp at night.

"See the General!" A group of people bowed and saluted.

Present were a thousand households of a musket bureau, and ten hundred households.

Zheng Jun is also among them, he is only a hundred households.

"The ammunition that Liangzhou has made and accumulated, but have you brought it?" Fang Jue asked.

"I brought it, and I brought some materials that I could make when needed along the way."

The one who answered was the soldier Qianhu of the Musket Bureau, the old Qianhu of the former forbidden army, and also a person who His Majesty and Mo Yuan were very trusted, named Wei Feng.

For the people under him, Fang Jue is familiar with their identity and background, this Wei Feng was born in the Wei family like Wei Ran.

The two are also cousins.

Fang Jue said: "How much ammunition is there?" ”

"General Hui, there are 50,000 rounds of musket ammunition, 2,000 ceramic fire mines, and all kinds of ammunition materials are enough to make 20,000 rounds of ammunition."

Wei Feng said: "Dare to ask the general, is it enough?" ”

"That's enough." Fang Jue nodded, and when the firearms battalion left, it brought with it 10,000 rounds of ammunition and thousands of ceramic fire mines.

Such a configuration is enough to fight a few fierce battles.

Fang Jue didn't think that letting the firearms battalion take on the sole main force of each battlefield, the firearms battalion only had an excellent advantage in defense, and was not good at pursuit.

At present, the main force has to be coordinated by traditional cavalry and foot soldiers, and the firearms battalion only raises the lower limit of this army.

With the firearms battalion, Fang Jue felt invincible, even if there was only one thousand-household battalion, it would be enough.

It is unlikely that there will be a confrontation between the two armies at the level of 100,000, and a thousand muskets will be enough to dominate a battle.

"How's the artillery?" Fang Jue asked Wei Feng.

Wei Feng whispered: "When we left, the first artillery had already been poured, and the test was very successful, but we didn't carry it in order to arrive quickly. ”

"It's right not to bring it, this battle is just the official reputation of firearms, and the hole cards can't be revealed all at once." Fang Jue said.

"Your Majesty thinks so too." Wei Feng said.

After asking these details, Fang Jue looked at the generals of the Musket Bureau and said with a smile:

"Brothers, the time has come for you to make contributions and open up a new era!"

"Thank you for your kindness, General!" Everyone spoke in unison, very excited.

The officers of the Musket Bureau, who have been trained for at least a month, know what a firearm means.

Hearing that there was a battle, one by one they had already been tense, waiting to go to the battlefield to make contributions.

"Then go down and prepare, the firearms battalion has been formed, and you are all included in the firearms battalion, with Wei Feng in charge and Zheng Jun as your lieutenant." Fang Jue said.

"Command!" Zheng Jun was overjoyed, he was only a hundred, if he became Wei Feng's deputy general, he would be at least promoted to one level when he went back.

You must know that although Wei Feng is a thousand households in the Musket Bureau, his real official position is from the third-rank military attaché.

But Wei Feng was surprised: "Doesn't the general personally lead the firearms battalion?" ”

In his opinion, this sortie of firearms battalions will inevitably establish miraculous achievements, and as the main general who leads the troops, he will definitely be the first merit.

The general didn't personally lead the troops, and he had to share this credit with himself?

It's really a little different from ordinary people.

"Although I am a general, I am actually a bit of a layman in the war, and it depends on you generals when it comes to the battle formation."

Fang Jue said: "You just work harder, I'm so lazy." ”

"The general laughed, since the general is willing to trust, the last general will live up to the general's trust!"

"Okay, tomorrow we will practice with the whole army for a day, and we can continue to go north." Fang Jue said.

……

"Brother Wei, you said that the general's formation can really be useful?"

Several main generals stood together, and Sun Yi said helplessly.

Looking at the changes in the formations of several battalions, Wei Feng felt a great sense of responsibility, and the general's formation seemed to be out of order...... But he understood that it was purely tailor-made for the firearms battalion.

"Before the hand-to-hand encounter, the firearms battalion was the main force, and after the hand-to-hand encounter, it was still dominated by your arms, so rest assured, the credit will not be less." Wei Feng said lightly.

In this way, everyone is indeed much relieved.

Once the firearms battalion is approached by a large number of cavalry, it is a dead end, and there must be soldiers to sweep the formation, and there are cavalry in the rear to wait for battle.

As soon as the enemy cavalry approached, the firearms battalion would be withdrawn to the rear.

As for the infantry of the enemy army...... If the infantry could be approaching, then there would be no need for the firearms battalion to exist.

"Brother entered the musket bureau, even I don't know, you should understand how much combat power the firearms battalion has, give us a thorough understanding?" Wei Ran said with a smile.

The Musket Bureau existed in secrecy, and only one name was known outside, but this time Fang Jue brought out a hundred household battalions, so that they knew what firearms were for the first time.

But for large-scale firearms, how powerful they are, everyone can't imagine at present.

One can only imagine things that are within the scope of cognition.
