Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 646
[Chapter 646]
Plain City.
The war kicked off, and Chang Wei arrived here.
Because it faces Qi State across the river, it naturally becomes the front line of the war.
Ninety percent of the troops of the royal family are deployed on the north bank of the Jin River.
“Hey, it’s finally time to fight. My teeth are on fire.”
In the temporary command room of Pingyuan City, Lu Chang was gearing up, eager to try.
Qin Shan and Guan Tong laughed from ear to ear.
Before Chang Wei set off, he gave the three of them an order to meet up in Pingyuan City to discuss the war going south.
“What bullshit is attacking the Yan Alliance, this time the general will have to see how capable they are.” Qin Shan snorted coldly.
In their eyes, the powerful clans are basically rebellious officials and thieves.
Now they dare to collude with Beidi and Dongying to plan to attack Yanzhou. This is simply treason, and the crime is aggravated.
At the moment, these traitors are on the south bank of the Jin River, and they can’t wait to go south immediately to kill them all.
“They must never have imagined that we would take the initiative to attack southward. When our army crossed the Jin River, they would definitely pee their pants in fright.”
“Hahaha…” After Guan Tong finished speaking, the three of them laughed.
Chang Wei held back his smile, he needed to maintain a majestic image in front of the three of them.
Clearing his throat, he glared at the three of them, and said, “Although this time we have replaced yellow gunpowder and hand grenades with wooden handles, each of you should not raise your tails. If the ratio of casualties is not decent, I’ll throw you into the Jin River to feed the fish.”
“Yes, General.” The three of them stood at attention and raised their chests at the same time, and gave a military salute to Chang Wei.
This is naturally a new military salute for the royal family.
Chang Wei nodded, “Before crossing the river, let the soldiers familiarize themselves with the wooden-handled grenade.”
During this time, they had practiced throwing grenades, but they were all fake grenades.
Now that the grenade with a wooden handle is sent to the army, it is time for them to experience the power of the grenade explosion.
The three of Lu Chang also showed interest.
This wooden handle grenade has been kept secret.
They also knew there was such a thing, but they had never seen a real grenade.
When Chang Wei said that, they couldn’t bear it anymore, and ran out in a hurry, and asked their generals to carry the grenades to the warehouse.
A few more masters of grenade throwing were selected and went to the school field outside the city.
Distributing the grenades to the soldiers, the three of Lu Chang held their breath.
Chang Wei put his hands behind his back and looked relaxed. He had seen the scene of a grenade exploding in the school grounds of the Military Division, so there was nothing unusual about it.
When he came to the school grounds, he mainly wanted to see how far the best in the army could throw the grenade.
“Let’s get started.” Chang Wei ordered when everything was ready.
At this time, a soldier picked up a grenade with a wooden handle, unscrewed the cover behind the wooden handle, and pulled the matchlock to reveal it.
According to the steps during training, the soldiers pulled the matchlock, and then a puff of green smoke came out.
With all his strength, the soldier swung his arms round and threw the grenade out.
“Boom!” The grenade landed 50 meters away and exploded suddenly, sending up a cloud of flames and smoke, and mud splashed everywhere.
“Boom boom boom…” Next, several soldiers threw grenades, most of which landed at a distance of fifty or sixty meters.
When Lu Chang and the others saw the grenade explode, their initial surprise turned into excitement, and then into ecstasy. Qin Shan said: “General, this grenade
is too powerful. It means that everyone has become an artilleryman.”
The place is much more convenient.”
Lu Chang said, “With this thing, there is really no need for heavy infantry anymore. Just throw the grenade on the city wall and kill all the enemy soldiers. Wearing such heavy armor, it is better to bring a few more grenades.” .”
Although he has always been obsessed with the heavy infantry, this time, he really has no reason to ask to keep the heavy infantry.
The era of cold weapons in Yanzhou has passed, and the glory will belong to firearms.
Qin Shan and Guan Tong didn’t notice Lu Chang’s emotions. Their minds were full of images of throwing grenades at the opposing city wall.
With grenades, they will conquer cities with twice the result with half the effort in the future.
While the three were immersed in joy, Chang Wei came to the soldiers and patted them on the shoulder.
According to King Yan’s request, the minimum standard for soldiers in the army to throw grenades is 30 meters.
It is indeed rare for these soldiers to be able to throw grenades fifty or sixty meters away.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said to the three of them, “It would be useful for you to gather soldiers in the army who can throw grenades fifty meters away and form a throwing team.”
“Yes, General. “The three of them responded at the same time. Chang Wei didn’t explain the purpose of the throwing team, and they didn’t dare to ask.
After seeing the power of the grenade, the group returned to Pingyuan City.
Seeing many generals and soldiers receiving gunpowder and hand grenades, he said, “You also take away new-style military uniforms, 20,000 sets per person, and the rest will be distributed slowly.”
“Military uniforms!” The three of them chatted again excited.
Like the hand grenades, they have only heard about the new military uniforms, but they have not seen the real military uniforms.
Lu Chang said: “Yellow gunpowder, grenades, and military uniforms. If this battle is not fought, the last general will feel sorry for them.”
While speaking, he winked at his generals and told them to go to the warehouse to get military uniforms immediately. Qin Shan and Guan Tong’s subordinates took advantage of the late arrival.
Qin Shan and Guan Tong are not the ones who suffer, they have the same idea as Lu Chang.
For 20,000 sets of military uniforms, one set cannot be missing and no one can eat more.
Chang Wei didn’t bother to pay attention to their small thoughts, but said: “Starting tomorrow, all soldiers who receive military uniforms will change into new military uniforms, including generals.”
After leaving these words, he returned to his temporary residence.
The next day, he woke up early and carefully took out a small box from under the bed.
Inside the box was a brand new military uniform.
Taking it out carefully, putting it on carefully, and smoothing out the folds of the clothes, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, he puffed up his chest, and strode out.
This military uniform was specially customized for him by King Yan.
On the shoulders on both sides of the military uniform, five stars are displayed.
According to Yan Wang, the new military uniforms issued this time are not just for changing clothes.
It is also part of the military reform.
Just like the five stars on his shoulders, generals will have different marks on their shoulders according to their rank.
If the soldiers on the battlefield are in chaos due to some factors, the soldiers and generals can immediately judge the generals who are higher than them based on the military uniforms, so that they can be reorganized under their command.
It’s not that soldiers can’t find generals, generals can’t find soldiers.
