Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 365

[Chapter 365 Pride]

“Stab!”

“Stab!”

“…” The

weather was sunny, and the soldiers of the royal residence were practicing bayonet skills in the Peking Camp campus.

At this time, they held wooden sticks wrapped with cloth in their hands and stabbed them out continuously according to the command, either downwards, upwards, right, or left.

Every time they stabbed, the soldiers tried their best, and their bodies were like full-stretched hard bows.

“In addition to obeying orders and training, soldiers also have one-on-one sparring training.” Chang Wei said to Zhao Xu in front of him.

“If you practice like this, it won’t be long before the bayonet technique will come in handy,” Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei nodded solemnly, he and King Yan had the same judgment.

Xiliang is now essentially a vassal of Beidi, and Beidi is building artillery again.

The black iron king’s tent attacked Yan County again.

These signs all mean that a war of unprecedented scale may be imminent. The question is when Beidi chooses to attack Xiliang southward.

And by that time, not only Yanzhou, but Dasong will also face a crisis of collapse.

“Yes, Your Highness, the last general has already warned the generals, so that they cannot relax and be vigilant at all times,” Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu turned his gaze to the north.

Although he has been busy with the development of the four northern counties during this period of time, he has never forgotten the two alien races in the north and northwest.

For this battle that is bound to come, he is worried and at the same time looking forward to it.

In his view, his war with Xiliang and Beidi was inevitable.

That being the case, it is necessary to beat them completely in this battle, so as to reverse their long-standing defense and turn defense into offense.

“In the Qin Dynasty, the moon is bright and the Han Dynasty is the pass. The Long Marchers have not yet returned. But let the dragon city flying generals stay, and don’t teach Huma to go to the Yinshan Mountain.” Thinking of this, Zhao Xu read a sentence softly.

Now that he has come to this world, he will never tolerate foreign cavalry trampling on his territory.

Nor will the Western powers of this world be allowed to set up cannons at their doorsteps and bombard the country.

“Your Highness, what kind of poem is this, even majestic.” Zhou Yi asked suddenly at this moment.

Yesterday I handed over the school to King Yan, and today I brought him to Peking University to meet Chang Wei.

Let him cooperate with Chang Wei to complete the recruitment of naval soldiers and three months of training.

“This is a poem written by an ancient country in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had come to an end, and there was also a powerful enemy in the north called Khitan.

” What?” Chang Wei looked puzzled.

Zhao Xu did not expect that his poems expressing emotion casually would attract so many questions.

He had no choice but to be sloppy and said: “This king only read it from an ancient book.”

Chang Wei and Zhou Yi looked at each other and stopped asking.

The two of you came under a willow tree beside the school grounds, and Zhao Xu changed the subject, “Although one of you is in command of the infantry and the other is in command of the navy, it doesn’t mean that you will each shut your doors and come from Gu Zi after that. We still need to communicate more.” The

two nodded at the same time.

Unfolding the paper fan to fan himself, Zhao Xu remembered something and said to Chang Wei: “Have the soldiers in the car camp been recruited yet?”

“Not yet.” Chang Wei scratched his head, “Because I haven’t seen the chariot yet, So the last general put the recruitment of the chariot camp at the end.”

Zhao Xu didn’t blame Chang Wei, he hasn’t asked the military commander to build chariots yet, “Although there is no rush, but we have to keep recruiting. After two days, This king asked the soldiers to build chariots.”

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang’s uprising destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, and he chased and fought the Yuan Dynasty.

It relies on a kind of equipment – a single-wheeled car.

This kind of car is actually an independent car for transporting grain and grass. A wooden board is installed on the front, and several spears are fixed on the wooden board at the same time.

This forms a small fort like a hedgehog.

In the early stage, soldiers of the Ming army broke into the Mongolian cavalry with this kind of independent charging cart, restricting the mobility of the cavalry, followed by swordsmen and spearmen rushing over, slashing wildly.

It can be seen that the effect of this kind of chariot that can defend against bows and arrows and limit the mobility of cavalry on the battlefield is very good when fighting nomadic tribes.

In the past, he only had to guard Yanguan, so he had no plans to build chariots.

But the alliance between Xiliang and Beidi in modern times is tantamount to praising the northwest and opening to Beidi at the same time.

If Beidi chooses to go south from the northwest, I am afraid that he will have to start from Qinguan to fight with Beidi and Xiliang’s army.

At that time, this chariot will come in handy.

Relying on chariots, flintlocks, and artillery on the battlefield, his army can turn into a powerful fortress at any time.

But the chariot he wants to build is not this kind of unicycle.

After all, in his opinion, this kind of unicycle was a chariot made by Zhu Yuanzhang when he was in trouble.

When fighting Jurchen soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty, the chariots used were more luxurious.

However, under the technical conditions of the North Four Counties, combined with some contemporary experience, he can now build a better tank.

This chariot will have four wheels.

In this way, the chariot will be more stable. At the same time, the chariot is box-shaped, with a cover fixed to one side, which can be lifted to form a wall, and there will be small windows on the cover.

Fusiliers could fire through these windows.

In order to strengthen the hardness of the chariot, a layer of iron sheet will be nailed on the side of the chariot box facing the enemy.

In this way, a chariot that can transport grain and grass and be used as a fortress appeared.

There will also be locks on these chariots, and each chariot can be connected with iron chains.

During the war, the chariots marched on both sides of the soldiers. When encountering the enemy, they immediately surrounded the city and connected them with iron chains to protect the soldiers in the middle.

The soldiers then used flintlock guns and artillery to attack the enemy.

While thinking about it, Zhao Xu picked up a branch and showed Chang Wei the appearance of the chariot.

Chang Wei stared intently, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

“Your Highness, this chariot will not be necessary in the end, it will block the shots of the fusiliers.” Zhou Yi said.

“This chariot can also transport food, grass and ammunition. It has a cover to prevent the rain. Moreover, if the enemy infantry rushes over, it is not conducive for them to climb.” Chang Wei explained to him.

Zhou Yi has never fought a war, and he doesn’t understand many things.

Hearing what Chang Wei said, Zhou Yi suddenly nodded.

At this time, Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei: “If you have other suggestions, this chariot will be built like this, and the horses will be drawn in battle, and the march will not be delayed.”

“Hehe, I have no other suggestions, I just want to fight Si can make it sooner, so even if we encounter Beidi people on the grassland, we won’t be afraid.” Chang Wei became excited.

For him, the design of this chariot is very reasonable, and it is really a sharp weapon against cavalry.

Zhao Xu smiled lightly.

In fact, this kind of chariot is already equivalent to the most primitive tank. Not only can it move, but if soldiers stand in the chariot, they can also shoot outwards.

Like Chang Wei, he also expects this chariot to play an important role on the battlefield.
