Twelve teams of soldiers in full uniform lined up neatly and passed through the city gate in turn. In front of each team were three banners, one big, one large, two small, the largest one was the Qinglong flag, this was the military flag, and the two small ones were the The camp flags are arranged according to the twelve earthly branches, starting from Zimo and ending with Haizhu, which is easy to remember.

An official said in a low voice: "The army is the most courageous, and the mouse flag is displayed here, which shows that the monster does not understand military affairs."

However, what he can hear around him is not echoed. How can such a well-disciplined army be trained without military affairs?Now no one here dares to underestimate Li Yunya, no matter what kind of style this monster is, just by training soldiers, he can indeed be called top-notch!Several civil servants and military generals even looked at Li Yunya a few more times, thinking that this monster is not only good at flattery to make money, it is useless.

After the formation, the drill began. First, the musketeer team. Li Yunya asked craftsmen to improve the technology of the three-eyed gun. Due to the breakthrough in steelmaking technology, he first improved the barrel and replaced the original barrel with steel. Mark the inner rifling, no longer use three eyes, only use one, the bottom is a wooden butt, and then change the matchlock to flint, and make a special pointed bullet, which can be loaded from the back and can shoot through within 60 meters. A thin iron sheet covered with a layer of cowhide.

The drills in the minds of the ministers were soldiers wearing armor and fighting each other. They watched a battalion of soldiers enter the field without armor, still wearing the original green cloth uniform, each holding something like an iron rod, There is a clear understanding that it is a firecracker. Although I have never seen it, I didn't make a fuss. I guess it was for a show.

The people of the first battalion lined up, loaded their bullets, and led ten strong and strong bulls from the opposite side. The officials didn't know what to do.

One of the head of the Ministry of War asked: "Dare to ask Master Yunya, I see that those bulls have firecrackers tied to their tails. Is this going to practice the fire-breaking bull array for the Holy One?"

Li Yunya nodded: "Not bad!"

The chief stroked his beard: "The fire ox formation has existed since ancient times, and it is specially used to break through the opponent's formation. The firecrackers are slow to reload, and they must be discarded after one shot. They fight back with swords. I think the soldiers made by Master Yunya have no armor." Without a bow or knife for defense, once the firecrackers can't kill these bulls, they can only retreat, and when the mad bulls run around the field, I'm afraid things will not be good."

Seeing that Li Yunya's holy family is rich, this fellow deliberately showed his favor, and reminded him not to blindly show off his power, it would be bad if he surprised the holy family.

Li Yunya said: "It is said that the Jiannu cavalry can't be full of ten thousand, and they are invincible. The Eight Banners' charge is unstoppable. I will replace it with a mad cow. If they can't kill the mad cow, how will they be able to deal with the Eight Banners of Manchuria in the future? Don't worry. , This is what we are used to in daily training, and it is foolproof."

Zhu Youjian asked curiously: "Do you usually use cows for performances here?"

"Well, after beating to death, beef will be added to their meal."

While talking, the firecracker on the mang ox's tail had been ignited, and there was a crackling sound. The mang ox was frightened, shook its head and tail, turned its hooves and clapped its palms, and ran forward rumblingly.

The soldiers of the first battalion stood directly in front of the bull, facing the mad bull without any nervousness or fear. Each of them held a gun in his hand. The company is divided into three layers, the inner and the outer, and when the bulls enter the range, they immediately raise their guns and fire.

"Papa, papa..." There was a flurry of shots, and the sound was not over yet. The first company standing in the front row retreated after firing, and the second row that had been prepared was revealed, aiming at the bull and firing. Then go back, and the third company will keep up.

After only two rounds, all ten bulls fell to the ground, and the first bull was still more than ten meters away from the soldiers with guns.

"Okay!" Zhu Youjian slapped the wall excitedly, "Okay! The soldiers who shot just now will each be rewarded with ten taels of silver! Two bolts of cloth!"

Li Yunya asked the messengers to wave the flag, and the people below heard that there was a reward, although the flag language was still very simple, and they couldn't tell what the reward was, but they immediately saluted with the whole team, and then shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

The first battalion was withdrawn, and the ten dead cows were also transported to the cafeteria by cart, where they were cooked for the soldiers after the bullets were taken out.

The next step is to shoot on horseback. Because the arquebus has become a flintlock gun, it is possible to fire immediately. On the teaching ground, a human-shaped wooden board is erected, which is as tall as a human body. It is made of thick wooden boards, and the surface is covered with three layer of cowhide.

The first team of cavalry from the second battalion came out, a total of thirty men, each with a gun in their hands, galloping horizontally on horseback fifty paces away.Immediately after resetting the target, the second team came out and smashed the target as before.

The ten teams of the second battalion finished walking one by one. After each fight, Zhu Youjian would slap the wall and say hello. After all the ten teams had fought, he was full of joy and said excitedly: "I just passed on my will, and I just rode a horse." The warriors who shoot will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver!" Turning around, he said to Li Yunya, "Yunya, your method of training soldiers in the fairy world is really extraordinary, and my Great Ming will be able to build a strong army from this, and the slavery can be peaceful, and the world can be settled!"

Li Yunya shook his head: "Otherwise, they are shooting fixed targets. They are really facing the Eight Banners of Manchuria. They come and go like the wind, and they can shoot arrows at will. Compared with others, they are still far behind. They still don't have enough training time, and The range of muskets is not enough now, and we need to improve and increase the range in the future to compete with bows and arrows. Only three to five years later will we be able to gain a complete advantage in front of the Eight Banners soldiers."

Zhu Youjian thought that these soldiers were sent to the east, but later Jin said that the day would be peaceful, and he calmed down after being told by Li Yunya: "Yunya is right, I was too impatient." He was with Li Yunya When I called myself myself, this would naturally ignore the other ministers present, even I forgot to mention it.

The third scene is the rocket soldiers. Ten carriages enter the arena. Behind each carriage is a large iron box, more than three meters long and one meter high, painted with green paint. There are a total of twelve round holes in the vertical four. The soldiers untied the horse harness and pulled it aside, then turned the two-wheeled carriage around and poked the two shafts on the ground.

At 500 meters away, ten tents were erected, stuffed with bales of straw.

When the battalion commander gave an order, the soldiers lit the fire, and from the round holes on the ten iron boxes, fire snakes shot out one after another.

The Ming Dynasty has already achieved a high level of attainment in the research and development of firearms. The most famous swarm, from three bursts of magic arrows, to one hundred bursts of hundreds of tigers running together, has a range of up to 300 meters!There is also a secondary rocket fire dragon that can hit 3000 meters away.

Li Yunya started to improve the multiple rocket launchers of the later generations. The front end of the rocket was equipped with exploding horizontal explosives, and the rear end was equipped with propulsive explosives. The shell of the rocket and the quality of the gunpowder were both upgraded. The tail fins, twelve in succession, spit out four or five meters long flames, with a piercing scream similar to that of the diamond monkey, and accurately shot into ten tents, followed by continuous explosions of bang bang bang, The flames shot out, igniting the blown straws, instantly forming a sea of ​​flames.

Zhu Youjian had read the military book, turned around and asked a director of the Shenji Battalion: "How is this thing compared to a swarm of bees?"

The chief officer glanced at Li Yunya and replied truthfully: "The rockets fired are not as many as a swarm of bees, but they are more powerful. They should be used to rob camps and set fire to food, which should have miraculous effects." Happy, let him pull out something to compare.

Zhu Youjian nodded: "Each soldier will still be rewarded with 20 taels!"

The rocket soldiers went down, and the artillerymen of the fourth battalion came up. Li Yunya paid special attention to cannons. Since the arsenal was built, he began to think of ways to make cannons. Due to the limited iron ore available in front of him, he still couldn't think of making cannons comparable to the red ones. For that kind of city cannon, we can only manufacture smaller field cannons, which are also made of steel. The weight is more than one-fifth lighter than the current cannons of the same size. The cannon body is more than two meters long, with a cannon mount underneath It can be rotated left and right, and the height can be adjusted up and down. There is a semicircular front sight on the barrel. The cannon adopts a rear filling method. There is a strong steel pad spring under the barrel to buffer the recoil caused when the gun is fired.

Field guns are also dragged by two-wheeled carriages. When firing, the horses are untied and pulled aside, the carriages are turned around, and the shafts are nailed to the ground with steel brazing. The shells can be fired as far as seven or eight miles away. Ten cannons are fired simultaneously. There was an earth-shattering bang, and the smoke flew up, directly blasting a high platform built temporarily with bricks 2000 meters away into pieces, and the broken heads flew everywhere.

All the officials above the city gate reflexively covered their faces with their sleeves. The scene where the cannon roared and the earth shook was so shocking that even Zhu Youjian staggered and staggered, Li Yunya With sharp eyes and quick hands, he hugged him by the waist before the eunuch. Zhu Youjian blushed. He felt a little ashamed, but he was still surprised by the power of the cannon. It was the first time he saw the cannon fire with his own eyes when he was so big. I have seen the description of cannons in books, what a cannon shot past, shocked ten miles, and the people were corrupted. He was afraid of being timid, so he asked Li Yunya first: "I heard that the Shenji Camp also has such cannons, and there are red-clothed cannons on the Beijing tower. Cannon, I have never seen it before, how does Yunya's cannon compare to the firearms of Shenji Battalion, and the red cannon?"

After Li Yunya finished eating the tofu, he loosened his waist naturally, and patiently explained: "The current cannons in Shenjiying are not as powerful as mine, and the red cannons should be more powerful than him, but the red cannons are too bulky , weighs three to four thousand catties, mine weighs less than two thousand catties, and can use a horse to fight the enemy outside the city with perfect accuracy. Within three miles, I can... well, not yet, but after training for a while, It can achieve a hundred shots, hit wherever you point, whether it is directly shooting the cavalry of the brigade or bombarding the opponent's defense stronghold, it is a supreme weapon."

Zhu You checked that none of the ministers objected, and he waved his hand: "Reward! Soldiers who use cannons will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver each!"
