Li Wei looked at the square team in front of him with long knives, shields and muskets, and couldn't help but grow his head for a while.

What a training thing he has!

"Song Zhong, you first let these soldiers practice in the way before, and I'll take a look."

Helpless, he could only take a look at how these people practiced before.

"Yes! Tube...... My lord! ”

Song Zhong received the order and commanded the phalanx to move.

The entire phalanx has a total of chief and deputy captains, plus ten long swordsmen on the left and right, five shield soldiers in front, and three rows of musketeers in the middle of each row of eleven people, plus flag gunners, and several soldiers in charge of logistics, a total of 56 people, which is equivalent to a general flag made by the guard.

As the order was issued, the 56 people performed their duties and began to move, the shield soldiers stepped forward, blocked the front defense, the left and right long knife men guarded the side, the first row of flag bearers waved the flag, the gunners of this row immediately stepped forward to shoot past the shield soldiers, and after shooting, they returned again, exchanged guns with the people in the second row, the second row and the third row exchanged guns, the third row was charged, and the last was a few tubes of ammunition......

It looks okay, but the speed of shooting is very slow, and it is far from the same as the original three-row round.

Li Wei frowned when he saw it, he also knew that the actual combat on the battlefield was completely different from the military training course when he was in school, but this mixture of hot and cold weapons made him really not know how to intervene, anyway, with this sparse firepower, he would definitely not be able to stop the cavalry charge.

"Okay, let's do this first, you guys just practice like this, I want to think about it." Li Wei frowned and said.

"Okay sir, shall I take you to the tent to rest?"

He is the steward of the Divine Fire Guard...... The top leader, of course, has his own tent.

Mu Ying handed over the Shenhuo Guard to him and went to other military camps, and there was more than one Shenhuo Guard in charge.

Li Wei returned to the camp tent, asked Song Zhong to find himself a pen and paper, scratched his head with the pen, and thought about it for a long time.

According to Lao Zhu's words, he only has one month to train, and then he is going to send troops to fight, and time waits for no one!

Let him use this kind of mixed formation of hot and cold, he will never be able to command, and the only way now is to completely abandon cold weapons and use all muskets, so that there may be a glimmer of hope.

Writing the word "firepower" on a piece of paper, Li Wei formulated the first combat parameters for himself.

Everything else is fake, as long as the firepower is strong enough, all enemies are local chickens and dogs!

When you think of firepower, you have to mention artillery, the most important firepower in land warfare is artillery, including later generations, artillery is also the absolute main equipment.

The current artillery of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply a mess, the rapid development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty still started from Yongle, and the current artillery can only be used to scare the cavalry and disrupt people's formation.

If he can be equipped with advanced artillery, then naturally no one is afraid, but unfortunately, after working for so long, he only made a flintlock pistol and those tattered steel knives in weapons, and nothing else.

It's not that he won't, it's that he didn't need it before, and of course he doesn't care about it anymore.

But now it's needed, but it's too late.

In ancient times, there were only a few kinds of casting methods, such as clay molds, iron molds, lost wax methods, etc., and a month was not enough time to make molds.

But Li Wei doesn't look down on these, he makes all the hydraulic lathes, who still casts cannons?

It is impossible to cast a cannon, and when the hydraulic borehole is done, it can be directly bore, and it is not without steel, high-carbon steel is quenched and hardened, and it can be used as a rifle, even if it is made of soft steel that is easy to sharpen the barrel, it is several times stronger than the cast gun!

The biggest disadvantage of the cast cannon is that the inner wall is not smooth, and the round bullet must be rolled out, and it must be slightly smaller than the muzzle, otherwise it is easy to get stuck in the barrel and explode, so the barrel sealing is extremely poor, and the range and power are far inferior to the barrel of the breech.

Li Wei also studied hydraulic chamber beds during this time, but the purpose was not to build cannons, but to build steam engines.

The steam engine is said to have been improved by Watt, but in fact, it is also the help of many people, not his alone.

The earliest Watt's steam engine was very rough, the pistons were sealed with hemp rope, the cylinders were uneven, and the air leakage was very serious.

It wasn't until a guy named Wilkinson, who made cannons and was the inventor of the hydraulic chamber bed, that he made a smooth cylinder for Watt with a smooth inner wall, which greatly reduced air leakage, and then the Watt steam engine pulled the wheels of the Industrial Revolution.

It's a pity that Li Wei's hydraulic chamber bed has not been done yet, the steam engine can't be made, and this cannon is naturally useless.

After thinking about it, there is only one kind of cannon that can be used temporarily, that is, the flying thunder cannon made of gasoline barrels, nicknamed the conscienceless cannon.

This thing is a big iron bucket throwing explosives bag, because the explosive bag is generally ten pounds, this thing is very powerful, but the range is less than 200 meters, it is also very troublesome to use, and it is very dangerous, if you are not careful, you will blow yourself up!

After thinking about it, Li Wei decided to try it first.

In addition, the long knifemen gave him the inspiration to equip the flintlock pistol with a bayonet, so that if someone did rush at him, he would not be helpless.

There is also the flag bearer, you can do a little whistle instead, in short, you don't have to occupy your own strength to carry a big flag alone.

And the trumpet, that's the artifact of the command on the battlefield!

Li Wei wrote a lot of books, and finally formulated a general training plan for Shenhuo Wei.

"Hey, it's a pity that the time is too tight, otherwise I will make rifled guns, mini bullets, and rifled guns, then who am I afraid of?"

Li Wei shook his head regretfully.

In the past, he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to throw him on the battlefield, but now it's only a month, and it's too late to build a lot of things.

After preparing the plan, Li Wei went to the Ordnance Bureau, and the bayonet had to be made quickly, there was not much time, and the soldiers still needed to be trained and familiar with it after they were equipped.

There are also small things such as trumpets and whistles, which have to be made quickly.

For the sake of his own life, Li Wei acted quickly, and while letting the Ordnance Bureau build the things he needed, he began to redesign the formation of the Shenhuo Guard.

First of all, the 1,000 cavalry didn't have to move, and the cavalry still played a great role at this time.

Another thousand archers, Li Wei plans to reorganize them, some of them for logistics and some for gunners.

The remaining more than 3,000 people, refer to the three-three system:

Three people in a group, in a triangle, the back two are responsible for loading, the front one person shoots, the left hand takes the gun and the right hand is returned to the back, and there is no need to look back.

The two people in the back change left first, right and back, and they can't be messed up by alternating in turns!

In this way, the shooting team is formed, and the time of switching back and forth is saved, and the speed is estimated to be slightly faster than the previous three-stage shot.

This is the shooting group, and then there is the reorganization of the formation:

For every three groups of squads, there is a squad leader, with a total of 10 people.

The three squads are a brigade with a team leader, with a total of 31 people.

The three brigades plus the officials and logistics are exactly 100 households, so that 100 households and 1,000 units don't have to move, just follow the system of the guard.

Thousands of households, hundreds of households with a number, the size of the captain with a whistle, you can design two different sounds of the whistle and the size of the whistle.

When holding on, the group is lined up in a line to give full play to the advantage of firepower, and when attacking, three groups surround the squad leader in a triangle, two groups shoot to cover, one group advances, and takes turns to execute.

As for how to fight bayonets in case someone rushes to him, Li Wei decided to hand it over to the generals below to study, after all, these generals are experienced in dealing with cavalry with cold weapons, so there is no need for him to worry about it.

However, this must be started after the bayonet is finished, the bayonet is set on the barrel, not only the bayonet must be made into a sleeve, but also the barrel must be fixed with a buckle.

3,000 guns, it is estimated that it will only be a matter of three to five days.

The bayonet was not in advance, and the triangular formation had to be trained in a hurry.

So Li Wei first assessed the marksmanship of the existing musketeers, and selected the best 1,000 as the main marksmen, each with two special loaders, one of whom was the team leader.

Then, without waiting for the whistle trumpet to be done, he started the training first.

It's just that due to the lack of command tools, it will inevitably be a little chaotic at the beginning, and the three-three system originally looked chaotic, so when Mu Ying came to Shenhuo Wei again after two days, he saw such a scene:

Thousands of soldiers in the entire school field were in disarray, the neat array before him was all gone, no shieldmen, swordsmen, shadows could be seen, except for the cavalry, the archers were also idle on the side to watch, and the other three thousand people, each with a flintlock pistol, jumped around in a hurry.

Mu Ying was stunned, looked around, looked carefully at the surrounding environment, and determined that this was Shenhuo Wei, and her brain was suddenly stunned!

What about my archers? Where's my musket phalanx? Where is my swordsman shieldman?

After being stunned for a while, he suddenly understood, oh, it turns out that these chaotic people on the field are those elite soldiers and strong generals he trained!

They didn't leave, they just showed up on the school yard in a different way...... What a!

"Li Guancao! Li Guan Cao! ……”

Mu Ying shouted angrily.

Such a fresh and refined title quickly attracted Li Wei's attention, only to feel that this title was extremely harsh!

In order to prevent him from continuing to shout, Li Wei hurriedly jumped up and waved his hand: "This, this!" ”

Mu Ying walked up to Li Wei angrily, held back his anger, and pointed to the soldiers in chaos on the school field and asked.

"Li Guancao, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm having them train in a new formation. By the way, Master Hou, it's okay if you call me Lord Li, you can call me by name directly, don't call me to take care of it. ”

Li Wei said solemnly.

"Li Guancao, are you still called a formation? It's all a mess! ”

Mu Ying ignored his later words and asked loudly.

"Master Hou, please call me to take care of it...... Ahh ”

Li Wei emphasized again!

"I don't care if it's Li Wei or Master Li, it's just Guan Cao here, how can you make Shenhuo Wei like this, how can you fight?"

Li Wei rolled his eyes angrily, you didn't listen to what I said?

"I'm in a new formation, don't look at him messing around, in fact, it's orderly in chaos! You'll find out later! ”

Li Wei emphasized again.

"Are you blind to me? Li Guancao, you are so messy, how can I explain to Your Majesty? ”

Mu Ying was also so angry, originally Zhu Yuanzhang explained that he wanted to have a good relationship with this Li Wei, but this guy is obviously a rookie, he doesn't understand military affairs at all, you don't understand it, you don't understand, and he messed up his trained military formation, how could he not be angry!

"Since Your Majesty asked me to take care of the Divine Fire Guard, I am naturally responsible for it, and I don't need you to explain!"

Li Wei also said angrily, this guy is fucking when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, you are in charge of fucking!

"Okay, Li Guancao, you are responsible for yourself, then I will wait and see, and wait for Your Majesty to review and see how you explain to Your Majesty! Hum! ”

Mu Ying snorted coldly, turned around and strode away in a huff.

He planned to go and talk to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, isn't it pure troublemaking to send such a thing over!

Originally, he thought that this Li Wei was just coming over to go through the motions, but in fact, he didn't have to care about anything, and let his subordinates train honestly and step by step, but he didn't expect to turn the army into such a smoky bear for him!

Li Wei looked at Mu Ying, who was leaving, pursed his lips in displeasure, and scolded in a low voice:

"You fuck, you fuck, your whole family!"
