The melee infantry deployed into a crane wing formation, and the matchlock infantry in the middle area of the two wings marched in unison. Another volley was fired at an order, then the front row loaded, the rear row squeezed through the front row to shoot, and the third row fired forward again.
"The Zhejiang soldiers are practicing a three-stage attack! It's still a three-stage attack with a bird's gun in an advancing formation!"
Xiong Tingbi knew that the Mu family was good at three-stage fire cannons, and that the Japanese country had many bird cannons with three-stage strikes, but this was the first time he saw the three-stage strike of the forward-type bird cannons.
And what surprised him was not just the three-stage attack, but the effect of the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers working together.
The Sichuan soldiers formed the two outstretched wings of the Crane Wing Formation, pressing the enemy towards the center. However, the gap in the center would not give the enemy a chance to breathe, because oncoming were the Zhejiang soldiers' three-stage attack. One row after another.
A volley of fire, an airtight rain of bullets, will crush the enemy's troops in pieces like wheat.
This is stronger than any infantry under his command in Liaodong!
"Boom boom boom~"
The cannon fired again, and the rumble of the cannon covered up the sound of thousands of galloping horses. Although Xiong Tingbi didn't hear the sound, his sharp eyes saw the dust flying in the distance, and his eyes showed a shocked look.
Not long after, a large group of cavalry appeared behind the simulated enemy army and cut down the straw men simulating enemy archers next to the shield car one by one.
They were the Gansu and Yulin cavalry under Liang Zhongshan and You Shilu, and they were training together with the Southern Army.
Xiong Tingbi's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he saw. The Confederate army and the troops from the three sides were training together! The Confederate army, which was almost all infantry, was matched with the main force of the three sides with excellent cavalry. This powerful combination was exactly what he had drawn.
What the main players across the country want to see!
I thought I’d never see it again, but I didn’t expect to catch a glimpse before I left!
Just as Old Xiong was about to sigh, he saw that he was surrounded. A general came out and strode forward to greet him and bowed: "I have seen Xiong Jinglue!"
Xiong Tingbi recognized the person who was coming, and helped Zhou Dunji up with all his strength: "Zhou Dunji, I am no longer a businessman, but now I am just an old man from the countryside~"
"Master Xiong will definitely be able to come back as soon as possible."
"Haha, it has been two and a half years since you came to Jiliao. This time the main force of the Sichuan troops has finally assembled. The joint training of several troops and horses is an eye-opener for me~"
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
"Your morale and discipline are extraordinary, and you have also led a few friendly troops, which is very rare. However, I would like to remind you, don't be too anxious for revenge when you encounter Jiannu, but stay calm and fight the enemy."
Xiong Tingbi said this because the other half of the main Sichuan army, following the old general Liu Wei, was killed in Sarhu. Now many of the remaining Sichuan soldiers and generals want to avenge them.
"Don't worry, sir. As long as the orders above are not extremely absurd, our army will definitely carry out the orders and prohibitions."
"Hey, you still have this character... Actually, I can understand it, because if it were me, I would also take action against the She family in private."
Zhou Dunji looks very mature in appearance, and is usually serious and deep, but in his heart he is actually very determined. Back then, he and Zhang Shenwu intervened in the She family, and were finally settled by the queen for causing trouble without order.
In fact, Xiong Tingbi is also a similar person. How can you listen to those in the temple on all military matters?
Saarhu suffered this loss. If they had to attack from multiple directions in the wind and snow, the troops on each route would be too disadvantageous. Even if they waited until summer to gather more troops and horses before attacking.
Isn’t it because the people in the temple felt that they were spending too much on food and silver supplies? But no matter how much was consumed at that time, how much more would it be possible to lose key areas one after another after a great defeat, draw elites from Jiubian and the South, and delay for another year?
?
This is the group of people in the temple. They saved a lot of money and lost a lot of food. In the end, they also lost all the field soldiers and horses in the country. There will be another Songjin in the future...
Xiong Tingbi and Zhou Dunji still had too much to say. They clearly called the elites from all over the country to come here, but when the troops arrived, their own people were driven away.
Two and a half years ago, Zhou Dunji supported Jiliao and witnessed the defeat of Sarhu, the fall of Fushun Tieling, and Xiong Tingbi's efforts to turn the tide... I wanted to follow Xiong Jinglue to seek revenge, but now I missed it.
However, the current manager is Yuan Yingtai after all. Xiong Tingbi, the dismissed manager, will never stay here, and he cannot even talk to Zhou Dunji for too long, lest Yuan Jinglue suspects something.
"I'm gone...Finally, I have to say, don't be eager for revenge..."
Zhou Dunji is actually much more serious than his second brother Zhang Shenwu, and does not seem to be an impatient person. However, he was born in the Sichuan Army and was full of passion. How could he not be angry at Liu Wei and his brothers who were killed in Saerhu?
The Saarhu Three Routes were defeated, Jun Song was surrounded, and tens of thousands of his troops were defeated. Although there were heavy casualties, at least tens of thousands of them escaped. Although Marin's troops on the northern front were small and the casualties were heavy, Marin himself still brought these
The people fled back.
Only Liu Ping's army on the east route was encircling and outflanking... They were really at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, and they had almost no way to retreat. They did not distinguish between civilian and military soldiers, generals and civilian officials, and the casualties were extremely heavy...
Zhou Dunji has been through life and death with most of them, and hundreds of them are like relatives...
"What's going on with that expression on your face!" Xiong Tingbi suddenly asked majestically, which shocked Zhou Dunji.
"Understood! The general will never let revenge disturb his heart!"
This man has been suppressing his true thoughts, grievances, revenge, unwillingness, and even love...
Maybe one day when he doesn't have to carry so much, he will really smile...
Xiong Tingbi took a few steps and suddenly remembered something. He turned around and asked, "I heard that there is Wang Hongyu, who seems to be very young but has boosted the morale of the whole army?"
"Wang Hongyu is my third sworn brother."
"Hahaha! The Sichuan Army has a large number of talents, and there are successors... I see the will and inheritance of the Sichuan Army!"
At this moment, Wang Hongyu and his troops passed by.
The joint training had just ended and everyone was very tired. Some other soldiers were already relaxed and unfocused on their way back to camp.
Wang Hongyu's soldiers still maintained a neat formation and high morale. If an enemy situation suddenly appeared at this time, it is estimated that these soldiers and horses could quickly enter the state of facing the enemy.
Seeing the troops and horses like this, the white-pole soldiers were no worse than them, and now they were more energetic. Although the Zhejiang soldiers had many new recruits, they quickly resumed their formation and strictly prohibited making noise in accordance with the requirements of the Qi family army.
The training time for the troops and horses on the three sides was short. After the training, the cavalry was more difficult to gather than the infantry. However, they were also aware of the situation of the other troops and horses, and followed up on the formation and discipline after the war.
Several soldiers and horses quickly returned to the military camp, and there was absolutely no situation where they came over to chat with them without permission.
Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, and then he sighed: "I know that your Sichuan Army is strong, but your ability to unite and lead other southern armies and elites from the three sides is beyond expectation. Maybe the southern and northern armies can unite as one, and
There is no need to be afraid of Nurhachi."
Not wanting to stay any longer, Xiong Tingbi set out on his way home.
