He marched north to defeat the rebel army and moved the camp back to the city.
The main city of Hanzhou was burned for nearly two days before it was completely burned. No unclean thing could survive such a fire.
That's why Fang Jue brought people back.
After all, there is nothing to rely on in the wild, and there is no danger to defend. Once attacked, it will be difficult to defend.
They leave the city to train troops every day, and Fang Jue plans to practice the battle formations based on the firearms camp here to become proficient.
When the musketeers and muskets arrive, they can immediately form combat strength.
"General, the soldiers are very confused as to why they need to practice such a battle formation, which makes them feel that there is no rules." Lin Beilai said.
The current soldiers and generals cannot understand the battle formation that is dominated by the firearms camp.
They couldn't understand what kind of arms were in the Qianhuying area that was left open in the middle, so that this seemingly stupid battle formation could become effective.
"You don't need to make it too clear. Just practice the evolution of this formation." Fang Jue said.
"It's already ripe."
Lin Bei chuckled: "This difficulty level is too low, it is worse than a long snake formation, there is no trace..."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Jue knew that what he wanted to say was that there was no level of formation at all.
As a general, you need to be familiar with the art of war. The formation of troops is the basis, starting from the one-word long snake formation to the so-called eight trigrams dragon gate formation... In addition to training the strength of the soldiers and training to obey orders, during military training, these are all
The evolution of formations.
On the battlefield, when the two armies are about the same size in terms of numbers and combat strength, the speed with which they can deploy and change formations is the key to victory.
And how many kinds of military formations he can master, how many changes his soldiers can complete, and the speed of response... these are all areas that test a general's daily ability.
After practicing for hundreds of days, you may not be able to master all the battle formations proficiently, and chaos will inevitably occur when you are on the battlefield.
However, Lin Bei felt that the battle formation taught by Fang Jue, which could not be called a formation, was simply too simple. There was no need for the general to take control, and he could just let the soldiers stand on a high place and wave flags at will.
Is this also called a formation?
Not only Lin Bei, when Fang Jue proposed this formation the day before yesterday, he was questioned by everyone, but not so fiercely.
It only took half a day to master the entire formation. It was only because I had to wait for the people from the Musket Bureau that I kept practicing it over and over again.
"General, the entire army must maintain a firearms battalion. Can this kind of attack... really defeat the enemy?" Lin Bei scratched his head and asked.
Fang Jue said calmly: "General Lin, I said that times have changed... When more firearms are installed, the cavalry will no longer need to carry bows."
"..."
The waiting was cold. In the ice and snow, Fang Jue stood on the high platform built and looked at the drill of the whole army with a contented expression.
This kind of military parade-like perspective makes people feel what it means to have thousands of troops and what it means to be an iron horse on the glacier.
"General, a large number of people have appeared outside the city. The scouts went to ask." Someone came to report.
Fang Jue counted the time and said: "The people from the Musket Bureau should have arrived."
"Send someone to meet him."
Sure enough, when horses wrapped in cotton appeared in the snow in the south, his eyes lit up.
"It's finally here."
He was from the Musket Bureau. Among the people leading the troops, there was a bright red color.
That was Ye Hongyi. Fang Jue sent them back to pick her up, and they finally arrived.
…
The people from the Musket Bureau came, and because they were attacking with light cavalry, they only stopped at Junyi and Liangzhou along the way.
After learning that the army had marched north and conquered two states, he quickly pursued them.
On this day, it was natural to support the Musket Bureau, but the military resources were limited and there was no big banquet.
After a performance of singing and dancing, at nightfall, several generals from the Musket Bureau were called to the commander's camp.
"See you, General!" A group of people bowed and saluted.
Present were a Qianhu from the Musket Bureau and ten Baihu.
Zheng Jun is also among them, he is only from a hundred households.
"Have you brought all the ammunition that was produced and accumulated in Liangzhou?" Fang Jue asked.
"I brought it, and I also brought some materials that can be made if needed along the way."
The person who answered was an old Qianhu from the Musket Bureau, a former member of the Forbidden Army, and a person whom both Your Majesty and Mo Yuan had great trust in. His name was Wei Feng.
Fang Jue was familiar with the identities and backgrounds of his subordinates. Wei Feng, like Wei Ran, was born in the Wei family.
The two are still cousins.
Fang Jue said: "How much ammunition is there?"
"Back to the general, there are 50,000 rounds of muskets and ammunition. I have brought 2,000 ceramic fire mines. Various ammunition materials are enough to make 20,000 rounds of ammunition."
Wei Feng said: "May I ask, General, if it is enough?"
"That's enough." Fang Jue nodded. When the firearms camp left, it brought ten thousand rounds of ammunition and thousands of ceramic fire mines.
This configuration is enough to fight several fierce battles.
Fang Jue never thought about letting the firearms battalion be the only main force in each battlefield. The firearms battalion only has an excellent advantage in defense and is not good at pursuit.
At present, the main force still has to be the coordination of traditional cavalry and infantry, and the firearms battalion only raises the lower limit of this army.
With the firearms camp, Fang Jue felt that he was in an invincible position. Even if there was only one thousand-household camp, that would be enough.
At present, there is no possibility of a confrontation between two armies with a level of 100,000. A thousand muskets are enough to dominate a battle.
"How is the artillery?" Fang Jue asked Wei Feng.
Wei Feng whispered: "When we left, the first artillery had been poured, and the test was successful, but we didn't bring it with us in order to arrive quickly."
"It's right not to bring them. This battle is just for the formal reputation of firearms. We can't reveal all our trump cards at once." Fang Jue said.
"Your Majesty thinks so too." Wei Feng said.
After asking about these details, Fang Juecai 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, General, for your kindness!" Everyone said in unison, very excited and powerful.
The generals of the Musket Bureau who have received muskets and trained for at least more than a month all know what firearms mean.
When they heard that there was a war, everyone had already tensed up, waiting to go to the battlefield and make achievements.
"Then go down and prepare. The firearms battalion has been formed. You will all be included in the firearms battalion. Wei Feng will be in charge and Zheng Jun will be your deputy." Fang Jue said.
"Take the order!" Zheng Jun was overjoyed. He was just a member of a hundred households. If he were to become Wei Feng's deputy general, he would be promoted to at least one level when he returned.
You must know that although Wei Feng is a member of the Musketeers Bureau, his real official position is from the third rank military attaché.
But Wei Feng was surprised: "Don't you, the general, personally lead the firearms camp?"
In his opinion, this sortie to the firearms battalion will definitely achieve extraordinary results, and the general who leads the troops must be the first to achieve success.
The general didn't lead the troops himself, but he wanted to give himself the credit?
It's really a little different from ordinary people.
"Although I am a general, I am actually a bit of an outsider in fighting. When I am on the battlefield, I have to look to you veteran generals to make changes."
Fang Jue said: "You should work harder, I'd rather be lazy."
"The general is joking. Since the general is willing to trust me, I will definitely live up to the general's trust!"
"Okay, tomorrow we will practice the formation with the whole army for a day, and then we can continue going north." Fang Jue said.
…
"Brother Wei, do you think the general's formation is really useful?"
Several generals stood together, and Sun Yi said helplessly.
Watching the changes in the military formations of several battalions, Wei Feng felt a great sense of responsibility. The general's formation seemed unorganized... but he understood that it was purely tailor-made for the firearms battalion.
"Before the close combat, the firearms battalion was the main force. After the close combat, you guys will still be the main force. Don't worry, the credit will be great." Wei Feng said lightly.
Having said this, everyone is indeed a lot more relieved.
Once the firearms battalion is approached by a large number of cavalry, it will be a dead end. There must be strong soldiers to raid the formation, and there must be cavalry waiting in the rear.
Once the enemy cavalry approaches, the firearms battalion has no room to use and will retreat to the rear.
As for the enemy's infantry...if the infantry is likely to approach, then there is no need for the firearms battalion to exist.
"Brother joined the firearms bureau, and even I don't know about it. You should know how much combat power the firearms camp has, right? Can you tell us all about it?" Wei Ran said with a smile.
The Firearms Bureau exists in secrecy, and only one name is known to the outside world. This time Fang Jue brought out a hundred-household camp and let them know what firearms were for the first time.
However, no one can currently imagine how powerful such large-scale firearms are.
People can only imagine what is within the scope of cognition. This chapter has been completed!
