Yang Zhi saw that Lu Zhishen was bold enough, so he asked him to take a look at the weapons and armor of the sergeants.

Lu Zhishen looked around and was deeply shocked, the best armor in the family army was not so strong.

In particular, the exclusive weapons of each chief officer are beautiful in shape and have great lethality.

For example, Yang Zhi's three-pointed two-edged spear is better than his Sun and Moon Staff.

Lu Zhishen immediately went to see Lin Chao, saying that his sixty-two catties of water mill Zen staff were not majestic enough, and he hoped to transform it.

Lin smiled and said: "The Xiuzhou War is imminent, if you make a contribution, the poor Dao will naturally pay you a new Zen staff." ”

Lu Zhishen laughed, "The chaotic people in the countryside are not in the eyes of the Sprinkler family." ”

Lin Chao asked him to return to the team first, and then run around to deal with it.

This time, the whole army went on an expedition, and unlike the suppression of bandits, the discipline requirements were very strict.

It is required to obey the command in everything, never disturb the people, and enforce orders and prohibitions in order to prepare for the future war.

Along the way, he has killed several sergeants who have escaped, and the effect is remarkable.

Now that Shi Jin and Lu Zhishen are here, it is another challenge.

In addition, a special operations unit called the Flying Tigers was set up, and the captain Wu Song was set up to carry out activities behind enemy lines and cooperate with Li Yun's reconnaissance company.

When passing through Changzhou, Changzhou sent 5,000 men to block the alchemy army, but was defeated by the cavalry of Yang Zhi and Lu Junyi.

The cavalry of the Alchemy Army all carried crossbows, and used kite flying tactics to disrupt the enemy's formation and consume their physical strength, and the last few waves of charges were easily harvested.

After this battle, the alchemy army did not encounter major obstacles and successfully entered the battlefield of Xiuzhou.

Outside Xiuzhou City, large armies gathered.

Knowing that there were only 5,000 people who came to the rescue, Fang Xiang ordered the privy envoy Lu Shisang to take 15,000 people to meet the attack, so as not to give the alchemy army a chance to set up camp.

Thirty miles away, a field battle between the two armies was about to take place.

"Lu Shisang was originally a wealthy family in Shezhou, and because of his donation of money and grain and Fang La, he was officially named the privy envoy of the East Hall. When he was a child, he read military books and war strategies, and he was used to making a snake spear, and his martial arts were outstanding. The subordinates are in charge of twelve commanders, known as the Twelve Gods of Jiangnan. ”

Huang Wenbing said, pointing to the dust ahead.

"My lord, if you can defeat Lu Shibao in one fell swoop, the deserters will definitely storm the anti-thief camp, and then you will be flanked by Wang Ziwu on both sides, and the siege of Xiuzhou will be lifted. ”

Jiang Jing said: "There are more than 10,000 anti-thieves and horses, and I will wait for the labor division to go on an expedition, so it is better to test it and wait for the left vanguard soldiers and horses to gather before the decisive battle." ”

Zhu Wu was silent on the side, he was a newcomer, and he didn't know the rules of the alchemy army.

Newer than Zhu Wu is Wen Huanzhang, a talented talent with a strong strategy in the art of war, who is still observing Lin Chao's character and style.

Hu Sanniang took the map, Lin Lan looked at it and said: "Xiuzhou is in the middle of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the main force of Fang La is in Hangzhou, and both sides of Fang Xiang can retreat. ”

The generals bowed and said, "But listen to the orders of the lords!"

The pikemen were in front, the sword and shield men were in the back, the crossbowmen were second, and the cavalry was on either side.

It was similar to the previous bandits, except that there were thirty artillery pieces at the back.

Among the crossbowmen were 100 guards armed with 50 assault rifles, one of whom fired and one of whom was responsible for filling gunpowder and iron pellets.

Lu Shinang's army was approaching, the dust was billowing, Lin Chao held the binoculars and saw that everyone on the other side was wearing a turban.

Among them, the runners were all red turbans, and the generals looked like black and green.

Waiting for the other party to open the formation, Lin Chao saw that there was a middle-aged man with a blue turban in the Chinese army, and this was the only one.

He smiled: "I think Fang La's method is good, people of different levels use different colors to distinguish them, it is clear at a glance." ”

The people around me are not easy.

Only the battalion commander-level commander can hope for a telescope, and Hu Sanniang does not have it.

There are no four staff officers, they are all following Lin Chao, and they can be used instead.

The opposing striker slowed down at 500 paces away and formed his formation.

A military general rushed in front of the formation, and shouted in front of the formation: "Alchemy real person Lin Dazhi, the Holy Father likes your peach blossom poems very much, saying that you have a relationship with the Holy Sect." As long as you are willing to surrender to sincerity, treat each other as a national teacher, and wear a purple turban. ”

Lin Lan took the megaphone and said, "As long as Fang La and Poor Dao go to Tokyo City to play, Poor Dao will agree to anything." ”

Laughter quickly erupted from among the alchemists.

"Now that the faint monarch is unreasonable, absurd, and misleading the country, you and others will add one level to the crime of abuse, and thousands of people will dare to put up a battle!"

Lin Chao ignored him again, and the megaphone turned around.

"Where is Lu Daguan!"

When Lu Junyi heard the call, he picked up the Five Tigers Soul Breaking Gun and rushed to the front of the battle to shout and curse.

"Listen to the thief! You and the others help a mountain and wild man to rebel, damaging the living beings, and the people and gods are angry! Today, the heavenly soldiers are approaching, and they dare not come to resist the enemy with me! I will not kill you, the thief, and swear not to return to the army!"

The other party was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "It's just a mountain and wild Taoist, who laughs all day long, and wants to lead the army to fight, go back to the mother's womb to drink milk!"

Lu Junyi was furious and rushed over directly, and the other party also caught up.

I don't know if Lu Shisang can see clearly over there, but Lin Chao can see it clearly with a telescope here.

After more than ten rounds, Lu Junyi smashed the opponent's head with one shot.

"Mighty!

The alchemist shouted.

The herald came to report, "Lord Lin, the artillery battalion is ready. ”

Lin waved his feather fan, "Don't play with them anymore." ”

Boom Boom Boom ...... A loud sound came from the rear army, and the surrounding war horses were blindfolded, and there was still a commotion.

And after the artillery finished firing, they all covered their ears tightly and squatted on the ground.

Bang bang bang...... Dozens of loud noises appeared in the army of Lu Shinang, hundreds of horses neighed, and people turned on their backs.

The alchemists stood still, the pikemen sat on the ground in the first row, and the crossbowmen in the back either crouched or stood, waiting for the enemy to come.

Huang Wenbing reluctantly gave the telescope to Jiang Jing.

"It's really a battlefield artifact, it can fight more than a thousand steps, miles away, the damage is huge, it is easy to carry, and Lu Shisang can either retreat or attack. ”

Wen Huanzhang keenly felt that Lin Chao was a person who was enough to change the history of the war, and said: "The anti-thieves will attack, and if they retreat, they will die at the hands of Fang Xiang, but there is a glimmer of life when they retreat." ”

Jiang Jing echoed, and the people around him expressed shock at the power of the artillery.

Lin laughed and said nothing.

If the Imperial Knight Armor is a few hundred years ahead and is enough to defend against swords and arrows, it is not worth being proud of.

Only the appearance of excellent artillery can completely change the situation when considering the comparison of the number of combatants.

War will be an era of competition in science and technology.

The artillery of the Alchemy Army has delicate wheels, with a total weight of only 240 catties, which can be easily pulled by mules and horses, and can also be disassembled and carried by manpower.

The simpler thing is that the cannon barrels will be collected by the forest, and the artillery battalion will only use carts.

The shells are definitely not the kind of fireworks that used to frighten people, there are tens of thousands of projectiles in them, and the killing and injury under the violent explosion of gunpowder is very terrifying.

Thirty such shells, if they accurately fell into the enemy formation, could clear a large area, especially the infantry-based Fangla army.

After the first round of artillery was fired, the artillerymen quickly opened the back cover, cleaned it, then put in the explosive packs and shells, adjusted the angle and direction, and waited for the order to fire the next firing shot.

Lin Lan looked at the pocket watch, at the beginning, it was a shot a minute, and it would take longer and longer later, and this problem needed to be continuously improved.
