And in the battlefield of Hanzhou (Guanghan, Sichuan), the army camp began to turn to the downwind.
"What, the right-wing Shence Town Army has been defeated and retreated!. Dongchuan Ruishi has already rushed into the Shenji crossbow array..."
Before the battle, the general Zuo Jinwu, who was covered with sweat and blood on his shirt and armor, the official book of the Prosecutor's Department, and Liu Jurong, the guardsman of the gates in front of the hall, were also shouting at his soldiers.
"It's not good, the Yellow-headed Army, the Ang'er Army, and the state regiments on the left have also begun to retreat. The remaining generals, Sandu, who are still fighting on their own, have all fallen into the enemy's siege..."
Then another general rushed to shout.
"It's unreasonable, it's a hundred steps away..."
Liu Jurong looked at the flag of Dou Dayang, who was not far away, bitterly. As if to keep the flag in his eyes, he finally ordered the soldiers and horses gathered around him to turn around and return.
"The tube shooting team gave me a full shot at the enemy's army, covering the formation to turn right, and the sudden general three are taken out..."
In the main formation of the Dongchuan Army on the opposite side, Yang Shili was full of draped jerks and looked at with lingering fear, turning the "Liu" flag that was far away, and tightening the whip and bridle that he was ready to turn in at any time. The rope was let go.
"Congratulations to Jie Shuai, all the army has been defeated in front of you... Chengdu has opened the door... Please also take advantage of the victory to chase the death to the north..."
The blood-stained vanguard general knew Hao Juan, the soldier and horse ambassador, and congratulated him loudly.
"Poor Kou Mo chasing, the incomparable Kou Shuai Liu Deliang (Ju Rong) is not an easy one; what he is most adept at is step-shooting interception and rewinding tactics. Don't easily fall into his cock..."
Yang Shili waved his hand.
"The order is passed down and the archery battalion's arrows will be used to restrain him and delay his pace. The horses will go around his headquarters and attack and kill the other retreats first. As long as the evil spirits can be eliminated and the sacred driver is welcome, This generation is not a concern..."
And in the Chengdu sub-city dozens of miles away, General Zuo Shenwu, who was temporarily summoned to the top of the city, walked on the left and right guardian envoy Zhou Bao, bowed down in front of Tang Xizong and shouted hoarsely: Go, and protect the Holy Lord with everything..."
"Let you lead the children of the former squads, and quickly welcome the Fu, Mu, Ze, and Shou clan members of the Xishan Bieyuan to welcome them and arrange them properly..."
Tang Xizong also slightly moved Rong's back to explain.
Then soon after, he got the corresponding reply.
"What, the kings have been welcomed into the Xichuan Festival Hall? It's so good, and I feel at ease..."
Tang Xizong said smoothly without changing his face.
"Come here, call the Chengdu left and right regiments Mu Yan and Lin Shun to come and report the military situation..."
And in the Xichuan Festival at the northern end of the city, Tian Lingzi yelled at the Xichuan Jiedushi Chen Jingxuan:
"Look at what you are doing well, why don't you escort the kings to go and get people in the festival? What is the truth? You only have this kind of aura and vision..."
"I am, this is not for the big brother...Is it"
Chen Jingxuan also sighed in panic: Then Tian Lingzi looked uncomfortable and quickly changed his words.
"I'm going to do it now, just in case the front is defeated, how can it be good? Except for the united children and tooth soldiers who defend the city, there are no more soldiers available... I knew it long ago..."
"In fact, we still have soldiers and horses available. Victoria and Maozhou's Shanqiang has always been the choice of successive vassals; you can send people to tell the story, so that they can quickly bring their own swords, guns and bows to escort them..."
Tian Lingzi said with deep eyes.
"The most important thing at the moment is that I have stabilized my position from top to bottom; I just have to stick to Gao Renhou's side and bring troops back to help.. Send a few more messengers to ask where Gao Renhou's thief army is. ...Just ask him if he still wants the Jingjie in Dongchuan Town...if he wants to, he will promptly send his troops back to serve the effect..."
In Zizhou (now Ziyang, Sichuan) in the southern part of Jianchuan, Meizhou defense envoy Jianxichuan attacking envoy Gao Renhou, who led troops northward along Zishui (Neijiang), also just defeated the stubbornly resisting Anyi (town). ) The army, killed more than a thousand people and burned the army.
Then, before he could rectify and consolidate the army, he heard an unexpected news.
"Another fifth wave of messengers from Chengdu arrived in the army? Yang Maoyan, the deputy envoy of the march, had already led five thousand battalions in advance and set off lightly with only a few days of dry food..."
—I am the dividing line —
In the mountains on the west outside of Xiangyang City, with one after another and the neatly waved small flags, one after another large groups of fireworks and roars resounded between the muzzle and spit, shaking far and near on the treetops and trees. The frost shook off, and the birds and beasts fled in droves.
Then, it turned into a fleeting whistling trajectory, successively hitting behind the bunkers and trenches on the hillside, those targets that simulate the real battlefield, and the horses, camp fences, wall barriers, etc. made of real materials. In vehicles and houses.
Suddenly one after another blew up the dust that spattered the canopy or broke apart fragments; among them, there were many pigs and sheep hidden inside as living targets, but they were bloody and mush dumped on the ground. Spared.
Immediately, the naked eye can see the steaming gun barrels, group after group of artillery soldiers wearing fireproof cloth and fire-resistant (asbestos) gloves, are constantly busy again;
They were almost immaculately resetting, clearing, filling (pack), pressing (partition), and inserting (igniting) the tube; then they blew the ready whistle, and they were guiding the flag of firing boundary and gauge length. The sound burst out loudly.
Then, moving back and forth in different distances, angles and directions, step by step the remnants and surviving targets and piles of people were knocked down, shattered, and blown into the dusty movement.
"It seems that for the newly-cast custom four-inch field (war barrel) gun, the best shooting range is still within three hundred paces. After that, it will lose its strength."
Chen Nian, the captain of the artillery regiment, faced Yu Waiting, who was recording data one by one.
"But if the emphasis is on accuracy, it will be considered excellent within 180 steps,"
"If you use loose pills, it is best to take 30 steps outside of ten steps..."
"If you use rod bombs and chain bombs, you should use them within 80 steps; arson bombs can reach three hundred and sixty steps away..."
"After the maximum service life test is roughly completed, the next step is high-intensity short rapid fire training..."
In another heavily guarded valley, there was a sound of cracking and cracking.
Lined up in a horizontal formation, wearing a polished whole piece of steel breastplate and iron scale mantle, and wearing a round-edged helmet, a light gray tabard sergeant, also holding a lightweight iron square card in one hand, half-kneeling in support On the ground, the other hand held the front and back sideways, like a three-barreled blunderbuss with a stick with a pointed tip.
I saw them beating the drug stuffed in the excitation tube in turn on the edge of the square card, and it turned into a puff of gray smoke that shot dozens of steps away, and the skinned wooden target was riddled with holes. The soldiers in the back row were constantly moving their hands and feet, delivering the three-tube blunderbuss filled with sub-drug packs, in order to keep moving forward and advancing the middle layer.
In the other row, there were sergeants wearing lightweight two-piece studded leather holsters and knee-shieldings, and their hands were holding long pipe guns with thin fronts and thick backs. With the sound of slogans and whistle, pull down the cone tip of the accumulating reed and hit it in the lead groove, and a flamboyant sparkle burst out in an instant;
Then it ignited the stuffed medicine, and it shot out in the dull anti-pushing shock, and immediately combed the crowded targets twenty or thirty steps away, sending the scoffing debris flying around, and quickly changed. It's getting mutilated.
In front of another newly dug trench and breast wall, several rows of sergeants with thick canvas robes stood one after the other. Amidst the sound of the command, they stepped forward to take out the elliptical projectiles in the box on the back of their companions, and then inserted them. The ignitor that I took out from the leather hard box was thrown out one after another, and smashed into the designated large and small circles.
And on the hillside in front of the basic training grounds for these fire throwing teams, there are more soldiers crouching behind the fences for high-level grenadier training programs.
I saw these obviously experienced soldiers, sprinting out in alternating waves after the sound of the trumpets, rushing across the uneven ground and many obstacles, facing half the wall and the people placed on it. The target, throwing out a splash of fire oil bombs, or fire thunder bombs that exploded a large swath of ash and debris.
It wasn't until the call to stop the exercise was blown, and the whole body was sweating and there were sore and painful symbols everywhere, and then I returned the weapon and sat down on the ground; gasping for breath and scooping water to drink . The pan-bitter and slightly burnt-flavored sauteed barley tea soup is so hot that it immediately makes it transparent.
At this time, the veterans who led the team had to walk back and forth, explaining and instructing them one by one, the newbies who had not participated in the training for a long time:
"Don't rush to take off or loosen your robes. It is easy to catch the wind and cold after the sweat and heat... If you really fall ill, you will lose your chance to come here..."
"Don't be greedy and get rid of the leggings and sleeves. You will be punished if you don't count the points later..."
"Don't drink the water too quickly, it will block the breath in your chest... That will affect your afternoon exercise..."
"Don't drink too much tea soup, it won't be easy to eat in the afternoon..."
Hearing the words "lunch", many soldiers who were still stunned by anger suddenly rose up and looked around and looked forward to it. Fortunately, they didn't make them look forward to long. The baskets of freshly cooked meals on the big cart filled everyone's taste with the diffused aroma.
Take the team sitting in a circle as the basic unit; there are two kinds of staple foods in a cotton-cloth insulated metal bucket; one is a fragrant and shortbread pie made from chopped green onion and suet residue; the other is made of red beans, Mixed rice dumplings made of black beans, raw kernels, flax, and minced fish, which are pressed tightly and invisible between the grains of rice.
When served in a tin bowl, the dishes are served with sauced radish with red hot and spicy sauce, salted melon slices with bean shreds, and two-color meat and vegetables with shrimp paste, dried bamboo shoots, and taro and potato stewed offal; in the end everyone returns. It can be divided into a tablespoon of salty and spicy fish cake soup, which can be used as the leftovers for cleaning the lunch box.
After chanting slogans in a regular and uniform manner and singing songs with incomplete tone, everyone can't wait to snoring to eat, not to mention how comfortable and useful it is;
Fu Cun also squeezed two baked flatbreads with ease, matted them with a few chopsticks, and took another squeezed rice ball, broke it in half, and flattened it on top of the cake, and then topped it with juice. The stewed offal was rolled up carefully, and then dipped in the fish cake soup in the food box to eat.
After rubbing the taste of the north and south scenery, his mouth bloomed layer by layer, and his eyes inevitably became a lot of moist. If he had this kind of food to eat every day, why bother to follow the so-called "weak meat and eat the strong" principle, and go to search and looting the ordinary people.
This kind of satiety is the day of conduct, and I wish it would last forever. No one would let him know that this is an extravagant hope.
And among the small group of people who were observing the drill on the hillside not far away, Xu Yijiang, a pro-director and third-man general, also nodded to the left and right again:
"It seems to have begun to take shape and a little decent... but I don't know how much it can be used directly."
Someone immediately reported to:
"Today's pro-direct battalion, the three brigade of the teaching team, the five artillery regiments of the squadron; there are also the grenadier seeds specially selected by the army, except for the personnel on duty, all are here to accept the replacement of new firearms. Closed exercise training...The shortest training was more than two months, and the longest was more than half a year.”
"The basic blaster operations have been fluently mastered by most people, and only the difference in proficiency is left; instead, it takes enough time to master and get started with long and short guns and mountain cannons, flying mines, mines, and directional blasting. Come to polish it..."
"But it's okay. With the order of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, I will first pull out at least two battalions of human heads familiar with the use of guns..."
Xu Yi conveyed the order after hearing the words.
"According to the current progress and outline, I am afraid that I can barely pull up a battalion with more manpower..."
After the person in charge of the training camp couldn't help but look at each other, someone explained.
"Then match the new with the old, wait until the battlefield to go further and practice in actual combat..."
Xu Yijiang had already prepared. (End of this chapter)
