Chapter 033: Apocalypse Square

Zhu Youxiao, who announced that the last morning court in ten days, did not care about the reactions of the Donglin Party, and he led his people to formally train the Jingying.&1t;/p>

The Beijing camp is divided into three major camps, basically infantry and cavalry. Among the infantry, there is another Shenji camp, which uses firearms.&1t;/p>

After Zhu Youxiao came to Shenji Camp for inspection, he could only shake his head.&1t;/p>

The main firearm of Shenji Camp is actually a three-eyed gun. This kind of firearm has a range of only fifty meters, and it only has the ability to break armor more than twenty meters away.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, most people in the north are willing to use three-eyed guns, but they think that bird guns are too troublesome." Sun Chuanting said to Zhu Youxiao: "In the past, Qi Jiguang once said that the northern soldiers were impatient and said that the three-eyed guns were more convenient than bird guns. When they shot targets in the teaching field, the bird gun hit ten times fast guns and five times bows and arrows, but they still refused to accept it."&1t;/p>

Compared with bird guns, the three-eyed gun is indeed more convenient to hit.&1t;/p>

"These three-eyed guns must be eliminated. In the future, all the Jin army will wear cotton prices. The three-eyed guns themselves are too powerful, and they will be even less lethal to the Later Jin army." Zhu Youxiao decided to say that there are many Divine Machinery Camp Firearms, but there are very few firearms that can keep up with the times.&1t;/p>

Among the domestic firearms, the better one is the tiger squat cannon. Other firearms, with the development of the times, have lagged behind the West and are no longer able to keep up with the times.&1t;/p>

In terms of tactics, the Beijing Camp adopts an offensive formation with the Shenji Camp in front, the cavalry in the middle, and the infantry in the back. First, use the Shenji Campfire to bombard the enemy formation, then the cavalry charges to further disrupt the enemy formation, and finally the infantry presses forward to completely resolve the battle.&1t;/p>

Such a tactic is still very useful when the country is strong, even if it is used to deal with the Mongolians now.&1t;/p>

&1t;/p>

But it is not so easy to use against wild boar skin. Once the attack does not work, flaws will be revealed. Or you are seduced by wild boar skin and you are seduced into a trap.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao immediately decided to turn offensive tactics into defensive tactics. Obviously, in this regard, the Spanish phalanx in Europe is famous.&1t;/p>

However, the Spanish Grand Array does not seem to be suitable for use by the Ming army. Although the Spanish Grand Array organically combines the long-range musketeers with the melee spearmen, the Spanish Grand Array, which is an evenly distributed meteorite gunner configuration, can avoid attacks on the rear flanks, if the enemy attacks from a certain direction, less than half of the musketeers can raise firepower, which greatly wastes troops. Moreover, the Spanish Grand Array is not easy to command and control, and training is time-consuming and labor-intensive.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time and suddenly remembered the improved version of the Spanish phalanx - the Morris phalanx.&1t;/p>

The Morris phalanx obviously meets the current conditions. The biggest difference between the Morris phalanx and the Spanish phalanx is that Morris divides the mezzanine into two, so that the mezzanine can be paired with both sides of the spearman phalanx, or retreat to the rear of the spearman to form a new phalanx. This can also be paired with the spearman on the side of the spearman. This enhances the attack power on the front of the phalanx, so that all soldiers can concentrate their attack power towards the front of the phalanx. On the front of the phalanx, the mezzanine can raise firepower without being hindered. If the enemy rushed to the front, the spearman either went forward to defend or held on the spot, the mezzanine retreated to the rear of the spearman and reorganized into a new phalanx, which made it easier to change the array.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Spanish square array has a depth of 20 columns, which was changed to 5 columns by Morris.&1t;/p>

Back in the palace, Zhu Youxiao has been struggling with this problem and keeps writing and painting on paper.&1t;/p>

The depth of spearmen in the Spanish phalanx 2O column is an existence that no cavalry unit can break through alone. The depth of the 5 columns of the Morris phalanx seems to be too few.&1t;/p>

"It is better to increase the depth of the Morris phalanx, which can also retain the full use of firepower, and also have strong resistance to the impact of the cavalry." Zhu Youxiao thought about it and quickly integrated the Spanish phalanx and the Morris phalanx to create a new phalanx.&1t;/p>

In this new square array, the center of the spearmen is 50 people in a row, with a depth of 10 lines. The left-wing musketeers are 25 people in a row, with a depth of 10 lines, and the right-wing musketeers are the same.&1t;/p>

A square array of about 1 ooo people is composed into a battalion.&1t;/p>

The reason why Zhu Youxiao changed the Morris phalanx was mainly because the Morris phalanx targeted changes in the battlefield situation in Europe and was not completely applicable to Asian regions.&1t;/p>

Europeans have entered a period of common firearm wars, and the use of artillery and muskets on the battlefield is extremely common. After having these weapons between each other, many targeted tactical systems have naturally been extended.&1t;/p>

The main enemy faced by the Ming Dynasty was still wild boar skin. The wild boar skin did not have firearm troops, but instead was mainly cavalry. Faced with such an enemy, the defense strength of the Spanish phalanx is definitely a desperate existence, but the Spanish phalanx is too bulky and the long-range firepower is not enough.&1t;/p>

The long-range firepower of the Morris phalanx is much stronger than that of the Spanish phalanx, but the depth is too shallow, so it is easy to be broken by wild boar skin.&1t;/p>

So Zhu Youxiao simply combined the advantages of two square formations that could deal with wild boar skin cavalry, and then combined them together, so he created this new square formation that was more suitable for the Ming army.&1t;/p>

"This square formation is called the Apocalypse Square formation." Zhu Youxiao was very proud. One advantage of this square formation is that it is relatively simple. Although its combat power is not as good as that of the Qi family army, the training of the Qi family army is more troublesome and it is difficult to train the army on a large scale. Not everyone knows how to train such an army.&1t;/p>

Compared with this simple square formation tactic, it is very easy to learn.&1t;/p>

The army of Qi's family army is similar to the German army in World War II. The organization and tactics are relatively sophisticated and advanced. However, in the end, it is impossible to defeat the simple and rough US and Soviet troops. The US army used brainless bombing and firepower, and the Soviet army used brainless explosion of soldiers and artillery fire to kill the German army.&1t;/p>

The more precise the things, the more difficult things are.&1t;/p>

Simple and rough are the kingly way, so Zhu Youxiao did not adopt Qi Jiguang's military training method. After all, that kind of army was too professional, but instead thought about a new type of square formation.&1t;/p>

As long as you have money, the Ming Dynasty can pull out a large number of troops. What you need at this time is a simple tactic that can be popularized quickly to support the fast-explosion soldiers.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, this tactic is indeed relatively simple, but the specific implementation needs to be continuously improved." Sun Chuanting looked at the square formation drawn by the emperor and the configuration of the troops written below, and was quite optimistic about the emperor's innovative behavior. It was just that if this new tactic was really successful, I had just taken a small step in front of me, and there were still things that needed to be improved and supplemented later.&1t;/p>

"We can take it slowly." Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry. At least this tactic would be trained to first develop a Beijing camp, and it would be completely fine to deal with internal rebellion.&1t;/p>

Then Zhu Youxiao drew a training team from Tengxiang and Wuxiang's two cavalry divisions and devoted himself to the training of the Beijing camp.&1t;/p>

Although the infantry was trained this time, the cavalry division had already formed a sufficiently obvious awareness in terms of discipline and training. Zhu Youxiao handed over the infantry training method to the training team and asked them to train the Beijing infantry team and discipline according to the above method.&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
