Chapter 335 Scared

At the end of the day, Song Yang ordered the military exercise to begin.

Originally we asked for noon, but everyone arrived so we started a little earlier.

This time, in addition to Song Yang and his party, there were also personnel stationed from various state governments in Shannan East Province.

After Qiao Jinglong took over Fangzhou, Xiangyang basically became the capital of Shannan East Road.

All state capitals have dispatched personnel stationed in Xiangyang.

Some time ago, Shannan West Road also sent people over, hoping to make contact with Jiangzhou.

Yesterday, Qiao Jinglong and Song Yang discussed this matter in Dekong.

As soon as the people from Shannan West Road arrived, Qiao Jinglong sent a message to Song Yang, but Song Yang happened to be out at that time.

Both sides were missed perfectly.

So only now did Song Yang know that people were coming from Shannan West Road.

Shannan West Road completed its reconstruction and unified administration in the third year after the natural disaster.

During the original natural disaster, war broke out on Shannan West Road.

The forces of various state governments have become a mess.

Later, Li Chengen, the most powerful governor of Shannan West Road, finally won.

Li Chengen smoothed the Shannan East Road and had contact with King Fangzhou.

The king of Fangzhou happened to annex Suizhou at that time and was very powerful.

The king of Fangzhou asked Li Chengen to surrender to him, but Li Chengen hoped to meet and discuss in detail.

The King of Fangzhou looked down on Li Chengen, so of course he would not discuss it in detail with him, and the contact between the two parties ultimately came to nothing.

It wasn't until last year that Li Chengen learned that King Fangzhou had been defeated by Song Yang.

So I sent someone to quietly come over and investigate.

During that time, all state governments in Fangzhou were engaged in reforms.

Qiao Jinglong has not yet taken absolute control of Fangzhou.

What the spies saw was the chaotic Shannan East Road.

So Li Chengen decided to wait and see again until the beginning of this year.

Li Chengen found that Shannan East Road had been straightened out, and the scene of prosperity and rejuvenation was becoming more and more obvious.

So Li Chengen decided to send someone to contact Song Yang's forces.

Now that Song Yang is here, he can get to know Shannan Xidao and Li Chengen.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The sound of war drums and trumpets is melodious.

The military exercise officially began.

Qiao Jinglong is wearing armor and standing on the command podium

The daily drill formation of the Renaissance Army is indispensable.

Although they have been equipped with tiger crouching cannons and a large number of muskets, queue drills can train the unity, morale, discipline and other qualities of the soldiers, so queue drills have never been abandoned.

Qiao Jinglong waved the command flag and the drill officially began.

In the first phase of the formation drill, the soldiers quickly changed formations and moved skillfully. It can be seen that Wei Nan's training on weekdays was not in vain.

Especially without Wei Nan's command, even Qiao Jinglong could command the soldiers relying on his commanding flag.

This is the Fuxing Army's understanding of general orders and order flags.

It can be said that they only recognize military orders and not people.

In the stands, Song Yang watched with great interest.

There was no chance for a military parade in his previous life. When he saw the leaders standing on the rostrum waving during the military parade on TV, Song Yang always thought that one day he would stand in that position.

Although it has come true in dreams many times, it is far from reality.

Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, I actually enjoyed the treatment of the military parade on the rostrum, and was also the largest cadre...

On the other side, Song Rui stood next to King Fangzhou, looking at the Renaissance Army soldiers on the training ground, with some disdain flashing in his eyes.

To him, the galloping of thousands of horses is called momentum.

Walking around in formation, shouting hey hey haha, it was impossible to withstand the charge of thousands of troops.

Originally, he was a little afraid of Song Yang and Qiao Jinglong, but now he has some contempt for them.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The drum beat changed, and the Renaissance Army soldiers concluded the first phase of training.

Qiao Jinglong raised the flag again, and the first wave of soldiers retreated temporarily.

Immediately afterwards, a second wave of Renaissance Army soldiers came up.

Each of them had a weapon in his hand.

It's a musket.

The musket, which is as tall as a person, has a bayonet embedded in the muzzle, which is bright and eye-catching.

This bayonet was added by Song Yang to Wang Jinshi.

After testing, the effect is extraordinary.

When the bullet is loaded, if the enemy rushes over, just attach the bayonet and use it as a short gun.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Under the command of Ling Qi, the soldiers demonstrated some bayonet assassination movements.

This action was all thought up by Yu Ming and other Fuxing Army soldiers.

After screening, we finally came up with a set of simple and efficient assassination methods.

Song Rui frowned slightly when he saw the bayonet assassination.

Living in the frontier for many years, although he is not very courageous and has a bad temper.

But the basic vision is still there.

And he has seen big scenes and participated in real battles.

He could see that these assassination moves were quite powerful.

There are even a few actions that can clearly be seen as assassinations against cavalry.

The main force of the Song Rui family is the cavalry. If there are too many bayonets of the Renaissance Army, they will cause some trouble to the cavalry.

After watching for a while, Song Rui frowned again.

Although the bayonet was a bit of a threat to the horses, there were tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen from the Western Army behind him.

Thousands of horses gallop forward, and all bayonets are in vain.

"Three-stage shooting, ready!"

Song Rui looked bored, and suddenly the aura of the podium changed.

Then a shout rang out from the training ground.

Song Rui saw that the soldiers on the field were divided into three rows.

The soldiers raised the short spears in their hands.

Song Rui had only heard of the Crouching Tiger Cannon, but had no idea what a musket was.

Although he read the letter from King Fangzhou to his father, his attention was focused on the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

Musket didn't notice.

Of course, he didn't understand why these soldiers held their short spears flat.

At this time, the flag on the command podium waved.

The squad leader who directed the soldiers raised the little red flag.

brush!

The little red flag fell quickly, and the squad leader shouted loudly.

"Ready, fire!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of banging sounds startled Song Rui.

He didn't even understand what was going on, there was just a burst of gunfire.

Immediately afterwards, in the direction the soldiers were facing, about a hundred paces away, some wooden boards standing there were beaten and scattered with debris.

Song Rui didn't have time to be surprised.

The squad leaders continued to wave the little red flag.

It turned out that the soldiers in the first row who had just fired a shot quickly retreated to the back and became the third row.

The second platoon also started firing under the command of the flag.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

After the second row is finished, the third row continues to fight.

After the third row finished fighting, the first row of soldiers who retreated to the back had already loaded up the elixirs and started a new round of design.

Suddenly there was loud gunfire on the playground.

In the stands, Song Rui swallowed hard.

The wooden planks a hundred steps away were beaten into sieves, and the gunshots continued to ring out in waves.

Song Rui simply couldn't understand why there was such a strange weapon.

It can be fired continuously and can hurt people from a hundred steps away.

Only then did he remember that the letter from King Fangzhou also mentioned muskets.

At that time, his father and General Zhengxi also said that the musket was probably a sudden musket or something like that.

He has seen muskets before, they have them in the army, but compared with muskets...

How dare the light of fireflies compete with the bright moon!

Song Rui could see that those muskets were quite powerful.

If the number of people increases, even if the heavily armored cavalry wants to break through such a musket, they will have to pay a heavy price.

Just now, I looked down upon Jiangzhou's military power, but now I don't dare to look down upon it at all.

But he was still a little lucky in his heart that his father could get the support of General Zhengxi.

There are forty to fifty thousand cavalry under his command. Such a large number of cavalry is enough to break through the firepower of the musket array.

"Bang bang bang!"

The musket fired a few more rounds until all the planks in front were knocked to the ground.

"Why is this musket so much more powerful?"

"It's the Jiangzhou Renaissance Army brought by the prince. Their muskets seem to be different from those of the Fangzhou Renaissance Army!"

"It seems they have been upgraded! Jiangzhou's firearms are so powerful that they are unstoppable!"

"It's a worthwhile trip! The Governor sent his subordinates here. Not only did they meet the King of Jiangzhou, they also saw such a wonderful military exercise!"

There was also a lot of discussion in the stands on the second floor.

Especially the person sent by Li Chengen from Shannan West Road. He stayed in Xiangyang for a month and had seen muskets and tiger squatting cannons.

But what Wei Nan showed him was just to fire a few shots in a small way.

It's not as grand as it is now.

Representatives from various state capitals in Shannan Province were also stunned by the rapid fire from muskets.

Although they have all defected to Song Yang, they have basically formed their own revival army.

However, they are not a direct state and do not have a supply of thermal weapons.

But they often exchanged experiences with the Fangzhou Renaissance Army, and also witnessed the Fangzhou Army practicing musketry.

The Fangzhou Army's muskets were still the first-generation muskets, with slow firing rates and slow reloading.

The most important thing is that no fixed gunpowder is used.

This time Song Yang came out, and the Renaissance Army soldiers he brought were each equipped with a new type of musket and fixed ammunition.

The fixed amount of medicine can be filled by just biting the paper bag into pieces.

Coupled with skilled operation, the loading speed is much faster than before.

Of course, the rifling used in the new musket is smoother and the processing accuracy is more accurate.

The firing of the musket is smoother and more powerful.

As a result, the viewing experience is even more shocking.

The people in the stands had not yet recovered from the shock of the muskets.

The command flag on the podium changed again.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The sound of the trumpet came in rapid succession.

The Musketeers exited in an orderly manner, followed by one hundred and sixty Renaissance Army soldiers holding hands.

As soon as these people came on stage, the audience on the second floor of the stands was already excited.

They all knew that the highlight of the exercise was coming.

Representatives from various state governments have all seen the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

However, Fangzhou has limited ammunition and does not train often on weekdays, so they are rarely seen.

Song Yang came today, and the representatives were also honored to see a larger-scale Tiger Crouching Artillery exercise.

One hundred and sixty soldiers walked to the row of squatting cannons covered with nets, removed the nets, and the dark sound of cannons leaked out.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The horn sounded again, and the flag gave the order.

Two people per machine, the Renaissance Army soldiers skillfully loaded the elixir and lit the fuse.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

There was a series of shocking explosions.

On the other side of the school grounds, there are brick walls, targets, stone walls, and trees 200 meters away.

All obstacles are targets.

The sound of artillery sounded, and the roaring shells directly hit the attack target.

Various solid buildings cannot withstand the intensive bombardment of Crouching Tiger Cannon.

In just two rounds, all targets were cleared.

"This! This is the Crouching Tiger Cannon! This is the Crouching Tiger Cannon!"

At this time, Song Rui was already trembling all over.

Seeing the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon with his own eyes for the first time, he had lost absolute trust in the cavalry of the Western Army.

That kind of destructive failure is simply something that no mortal can resist!

He tried his best to hold Song Han's seat and stood there, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with his hands.

My calves were already shaking uncontrollably.

"If we want to defeat this squatting tiger cannon, we have to put our lives in it!"

Song Rui marveled in his heart. He still had some illusions that the cavalry could break into the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

However, reality soon made him despair.

"Replace with bombs!"

The command flag changed again, the squad leader shouted.

At the same time, the Renaissance Army soldiers carried a large number of scarecrows and placed them fifty meters in front of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

The soldiers who placed the scarecrow withdrew, and this time Qiao Jinglong personally walked to the edge of the podium.

I saw him holding the command flag in his hand and waving it down suddenly.

At the same time, he shouted loudly:

"Fire!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Explosive bomb, fifty meters away.

The power was so powerful that Song Rui could not imagine it.

It also made his last bit of luck disappear.

In just one round, fifty meters away, the densely packed scarecrows were beaten to the point where no one was left standing.

There are two to three hundred scarecrows in that large area, which is a wave of harvest.

The visual impact was huge, but Song Rui could no longer stand.

"Plop!"

This guy sat down on the ground.

I saw this guy's face was pale.

The cold sweat on my forehead felt like it was raining.

My body was shaking constantly.

After a while, he started to twitch, and the thumbs of both hands were inserted between the middle and ring fingers.

His body was also hunched over, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

"Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui!"

Song Han, the king of Fangzhou, noticed something unusual about him and hurriedly came over to check.

"Num...hemp...Uncle Wang, I feel numb all over...Help...Help me"

Song Rui spoke with some unclear words.

"A Yang! Uncle Wang, please save Xiao Rui!"

Song Han had no choice but to turn his attention to Song Yang.

Song Yang also didn't expect that this boy Song Han would be frightened by him.

After all, he is a son of the Song family, and he is a brother of the same generation as himself.

Song Yang couldn't watch him take it.

"well!"

Song Yang curled his lips and sighed, then went over to check on Song Rui's condition.

"Hey! I encountered a disease that I know about."

Song Yang rolled Song Rui's eyelids, then checked his breathing and body temperature, and finally laughed.

"A Yang, are you familiar with his disease? Then save him quickly." King Fangzhou said eagerly.

Although he doesn't think much of Song Rui, Song Rui is his brother's son after all.

Song Han and Song Xi had a very good relationship, so naturally they couldn't watch their eldest nephew die in front of him.

Song Yang waved his hand and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry. This is not a disease. It's called hyperventilation."

"Such symptoms are hesitation, fear, mental stress, overwork, etc., which lead to excitement of the autonomic nerves, accelerated respiratory rate, disrupted the acid-base balance of the blood, and caused respiratory alkalosis."

"Of course, there is another point. It should be due to excessive sweating, resulting in low blood potassium."

"So don't worry. He's fine. Just lift him down and rest for a while. By the way, give him some bananas to replenish potassium!"

Song Yang said some medical words, and Song Han was confused.

It wasn't until the end when Song Yang said that Song Rui was fine and he just needed to be lifted down to rest and eat some bananas that Song Han felt relieved.

He didn't think there was any need for Song Yang to harm Song Rui.

If you offend Qiao Jinglong, just scare him. It won't lead to death.

"Alas! After what happened this time, this kid should know to be more restrained in the future!"

Song Han, the king of Fangzhou, shook his head and sighed, then called his followers to carry Song Rui away.

"Your Majesty, do you need my help?"

Officials from various state governments in the stands below had just heard the noise above, and when they came up, they saw someone being carried down.

"It's okay, it's okay. It was the first time I saw artillery and I was so scared that I fainted. Everyone, please continue watching." Song Yang said to everyone with a smile.

"Oh! It turns out I fainted. At that time, when I saw the Tiger Crouching Cannon for the first time, I was very frightened."

"Xiaguan was also scared at the time. But he fainted from fright... This courage is a bit too timid..."

"Hey? Who is that person? Have you seen him?"

"No. It was Prince Fangzhou who carried him down. He may be Prince Fangzhou's servant."

"Yeah. That should be it. I saw that he had been standing behind King Fangzhou just now. He probably fled. He has never seen the world. It is possible that he fainted due to fright."

The officials left talking, and Song Yang got together with Yu Ming and Bai Wenju.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Ganzhou is so incompetent that he would be stunned just by looking at the artillery design!"

Yu Ming was really speechless.

I really didn't expect a prince.

At any rate, I should have seen a big scene, but I was frightened and fainted.

Bai Wenju looked at Song Yang and asked: "Your Majesty, if your guess is correct, this military exercise should be aimed at that kid. I think he was very frightened, as if the muzzle of a crouching tiger cannon was pointed at him.

.”

"Haha. Lao Bai is very discerning. In fact, this is what happened..."

Song Yang told the story about Song Rui beating Qiao Jinglong.

Yu Ming immediately said angrily: "Huh! This kid deserves to be scared!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Just as everyone was saying this, the Crouching Tiger Cannon sounded again.

But this time instead of firing cannonballs, the muzzle of the cannon was pointed upward and some fireworks were fired.

Fireworks during the day are not very pretty.

But the light is still pleasing to the eyes of the spectators.

This military exercise shocked Song Rui and completely convinced the envoys of Shannan West Road.

The envoy came to find Song Yang as soon as the military exercise ended.

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty will return to Nanzheng today. He will definitely persuade Governor Cheng'en to come and pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The envoy was Li Chengen's confidant, and Li Chengen had originally wanted to contact Song Yang.

This time, after seeing the strength of the Jiangzhou Army, the envoy was convinced.

Li Chengen would definitely be convinced in the future if he knew it, and it was a certainty that he would join Song Yang.

After the envoy left, Qiao Jinglong and Wei Nan arranged a dinner to celebrate the success of the military exercise.

And it can be regarded as a welcoming banquet for Song Yang.

I came a little late yesterday, and Song Yang was in a bad mood, so he just ate something casually.

Today is making up for yesterday.

Before the banquet started, Song Han, the king of Fangzhou, came again.

And he took Song Rui, who was already much better, with him.

"Plop!"

Song Rui knelt in front of Song Yang as soon as he arrived.

"Your Majesty, I...the slanderous remarks I made before were purely due to drunkenness and immorality. Please don't argue with me!"

"Master Qiao, I really drank too much the other day, and the time I hit you was... oh, I can't help it!"

Although he said pleadingly.

Song Rui lay down all afternoon and finally recovered.

As soon as he recovered, he immediately begged his second uncle Song Han to bring him to apologize to Song Yang and Qiao Jinglong.

He was really scared.

If Ganzhou becomes an enemy of Song Yang because he offended Song Yang, then Ganzhou will only end up dead.

Tens of thousands of cavalry are nothing compared to the Crouching Tiger Artillery.

Just one Fangzhou can have so many squatting cannons, so how many should there be in Jiangzhou!

How many cavalry are needed to break through the fire blockade of the Crouching Tiger Cannon?

can not imagine!
