Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 358

[Chapter 358 Killing Technique]

“Power and range?”

Noon’s eyes fell on Changwei’s silver armor, reflecting some bright spots.

Yan Wang’s understatement immediately cheered him up.

The fact that Beidi had artillery didn’t frighten him.

But it seems that the soldiers of the palace who have undergone strict training can fight Beidi even if they only wear armor and hold steel knives.

But in this way, the soldiers of the palace will have greater casualties.

He and Yan Wang have the same thoughts.

Win battles, but with as few casualties as possible.

At the same time, do not absolutely rely on firearms, but rely on hard training, even hand-to-hand combat can win a battle.

Therefore, if their artillery can be improved, it will undoubtedly be icing on the cake if it is better than that of the Beidi people.

After all, the life of every soldier in the royal family’s army is precious.

If you can use your advantages to defeat the enemy, you don’t need to be pulled to the same level by the enemy to fight.

“In a few days, you will be able to see the improved artillery. During this time, you can cooperate with Wang Ying, and the artillery in the general will be transported to the Bingzhang Division for improvement.” Zhao Xu ordered.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei replied yes.

Zhao Xu thought about Beidi’s sudden change again, and said, “I will immediately give Mo Yu an order to be alert to Beidi.”

After Mo Kuan went to Yanguan, the two brothers met.

The next day, Mo Kuan led the 70,000 Imperial Guard soldiers from Yanguan to Tongguan.

Zhao Xu immediately ordered the withdrawal of the soldiers of the royal palace in Jinzhou.

Another 80,000 soldiers from the royal palace were sent to guard Yanguan.

Because Mo Yu was familiar with Yanguan and was taught by his father to be good at defending the city, Zhao Xu let him continue to defend.

“As for the Beidi soldiers who invaded from Yanshan and wanted to attack Wubao, they will all be killed. Even if the Beidi people want to fight, this king will accompany them to fight.” Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei.

Chang Wei nodded, he came this time to ask for an attitude from King Yan.

After all, Beidi’s matter is not a trivial matter for Da Song.

He didn’t dare to act rashly, since King Yan said to kill without mercy.

The generals will be able to use all means to deal ruthlessly.

“I would like to follow your Highness’s order.” Chang Wei responded, and then laughed, “Your Highness is really planning ahead. If there are no five bastions blocking the mountain road, I’m afraid that the four northern counties will be harmed by Beidi cavalry again. But now, they Don’t think about stepping over the bastion.”

Beidi’s abnormal movement still made him a little uneasy.

After all, Beidi is like a shadow following a nightmare.

But now that Yanguan has a bastion with cannons on it, he doesn’t worry that Beidi can come and leave whenever he wants like before.

Thinking that the Yanguan bastion was coming to an end, he said: “Not only the Yanguan bastion, but also the outer wall ordered by His Highness to be built at Yanguan seems to be extraordinary, if Beidi attacks again, they will definitely suffer a lot. ”

Zhao Xu smiled, and Zou Rong would report the progress of various projects to him every month.

He also knows the outer wall of Yanguan expansion.

It is currently estimated that it will take two to three months to complete.

It’s just that now, he’s getting a little tired of being beaten passively.

In the past, the royal army was very weak, and relying on defense was the best way to defend against the enemy.

But now the palace army is becoming stronger step by step.

He believes that it is time to move to the stage of combining defense and offense.

Make the offense part of the defense.

When they get stronger in the future, they will completely turn to attack and let the people of Beidi fear their arrival. This is the way of war.

Thinking of this, he said: “Fortifications are of course important, but in my king’s opinion, an appropriate attack is also necessary. Since Beidi is restless again this time, let’s meet them and see who is the most powerful. Remember, if Kou can go, so can I!”

“If Kou can go, so can I!” Chang Wei recited silently, as if he had been hit hard.

Once upon a time, outside Yanguan was like a restricted area for Dasong soldiers.

But that is Ningjin Dusi, the land of Dasong.

Now Beidi can go, but Dasong cannot.

Now, Yan Wang’s words instantly ignited his inner pride.

That’s right, where the enemy can go, why can’t his soldiers go.

“The general understands.” Chang Wei clasped his fists heavily.

Zhao Xu nodded, and asked about the situation in the army, “How is the recruiting going?”

“Returning to Your Highness, the recruitment of 30,000 infantry is in progress, and it is estimated to be over in another month.”

Zhao Xu nodded, and continued: “How many bayonets have you received?”

“There are 30,000 bayonets.” Chang Wei said. During this battle, he also saw that musketeers without bayonets were very fragile and needed special soldiers to protect them.

So when I came back, I urged the military commander to provide them with bayonets.

“This king has explained to Wang Ying, and I will continue to deliver to you in the future. Now you lead the generals to grasp the bayonet technique and promote it to the whole army.” Zhao Xu reminded Chang Wei.

This bayonet technique is included in the textbooks he gave to the military school.

The main content is three defenses and one stab, which is the standard bayonet technique in the contemporary Chinese army.

Although these three defenses and one stab are just four words, they contain many actions.

Such as stabbing, there are upward stabbing, downward stabbing, left stabbing, right stabbing, cheating right stabbing left, tricking left stabbing right and so on.

The defense is to push away the enemy’s weapons.

After being familiar with this set of actions, soldiers with a flintlock gun and a bayonet will be able to easily deal with close enemies on the battlefield in the future.

Chang Wei laughed a few times when he heard this, and pointed to the bruise on his neck, “The general is training hard, this is Lu Chang who stabbed it with a stick.”

These movements seem very simple in the textbook.

But after sparring, he discovered that these movements were real killing techniques.

All the bells and whistles have been removed, as if it was summed up after countless battles, and it hits the nail on the head.

“This kid is ruthless.” Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly, “In a few days, I will go to the army to see how you practice.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei scratched his head.

Suddenly he remembered another thing, and he said to Zhao Xu: “Your Highness, there is one more thing. When the cavalry led by Zhongli fought with the Beidi cavalry, he found that he always suffered from the Beidi people’s bows and arrows, so he thought of the crossbow in the army. The effect is really good, he gave all the crossbows in the army warehouse to the cavalry.”

Zhao Xu nodded frequently, “That’s right, it’s a good idea to think in battle.”

In modern ancient times, there were also Crossbow cavalry.

There are cavalrymen with crossbows in the paintings of various dynasties.

However, they cannot be specifically called crossbow cavalry.

Because in addition to crossbows, they also carry bows, spears and other weapons.

A crossbow is just a good crossbow arrow, and it will be fired once in battle.

After all, it is difficult to pull the crossbow at once.

But now the pulley crossbow in the army seems to solve this problem.

Zhongli probably saw this, and decided to equip his cavalry with pulley crossbows to offset Beidi’s advantage in cavalry and archery.
