Wuzhiqi’s beautiful fantasy life was shattered. Starting from this winter, he was tortured to death by Dayi every day.
In the Huai River area, the world is at peace and nothing happens.
————
Zhongyuan, Taotang.
In the martial arts performance venue, the warriors who had gone through Master Qi’s rigorous training for a day were sorting out their lineups and preparing for the first ancient military parade after changing their uniforms in the Central Plains.
The oldest military parade is the "Ten Thousand Dances" created by Shun and Dayu during the period of Emperor Shun.
Wu came to threaten Sanmiao and held military parades and military exercises in front of their homes. This frightened Sanmiao so much that he thought he could not win, so he surrendered within two days.
Later, Wanwu changed from military exercises and parades to a general dance. First it was a martial dance, in which the dancers held weapons; then there was a literary dance, in which the dancers held bird feathers and musical instruments. During the Xia Dynasty and the Yin and Shang Dynasties,
, this dance has changed from deterring enemies to entertainment dedicated to the gods...
This is probably related to Xia Qi. Xia Qi was particularly fond of music and dance. He obtained the music of "Nine Bian" and "Nine Moves" in the Tianmu Wilderness, and killed three girls as sacrifices to entertain heaven...
Di Fangxun and the princes were in the south to watch the military parade of the southerners before, and were very interested in it. But when it was his turn in the Central Plains, Di Fangxun was a little uneasy. He told Lord Qi what he had seen and heard in the south, and Qi heard that
After that, it was very stressful.
After all, the military parade was over, but it was about to go to the battlefield. Ruan Zai was already preparing to use troops against Gonggong. I heard that Prime Minister Azai didn't sleep a wink last night and had already mapped out the fastest and most time-saving marching route.
Out.
…………
The members of the Western Region Development Team are all back, including Juzai, Chonghua, Panyu, Dongbushi, Qin Bukong, and Sanxiaoji... The viewing area of the martial arts field is a natural soil slope with some stone piles.
Treating it as a stool, many Central Plains dignitaries sat down. Many princes had seen the power of the new equipment in the south, but more Tao and Tang ministers did not have an intuitive understanding of it.
They can imagine how strong the iron armor is. After all, bronze is already extremely powerful. Divine Copper is difficult to polish and mine. However, the South smelts ordinary ores to create a product that is comparable to Divine Copper, and even has better performance in some aspects.
Stronger "steel".
All members are wearing armor, this is really a luxurious lineup.
Our Tao Tang is rich.
As for firearms...the ministers were able to roughly understand it under Peng Zu's bragging.
“It’s just the stones on the trebuchet, plus kerosene? That’s about right?”
"The power is far different, okay! When a trebuchet hits a city wall, how many times does the stone have to fly before it collapses? Listen to me, firearms are divided into black powder and yellow powder. Don't be surprised when you see black powder.
Don’t pee in fear when you see yellow gunpowder.”
Peng Zu shook his head.
You people still have little knowledge.
Looking at the faces of the generals, each of them looks like they have been given blood, you can tell how much they like those weapons. Some of them even follow those iron cannons every day, and almost make all the old ladies in the family divorce, and they have to fight with the iron cannons.
Go and register your marriage.
Soon, the military parade began. First there was a majestic song and dance. Yuzai recognized it as "Thunder Shock", the first song in the "Ten Songs for Drums and Drums".
Majestic music is accompanied by shouts that shake the heaven and earth.
During the music and dancing, the soldiers in iron armor were in strict military appearance. Military reform was not that fast, so the current military system in the Central Plains was only partially copied from the South. Free-of-service soldiers were rare in this era. Although there were some in the Central Plains, they were not
Many, after vigorous flood control in recent years has ensured that food production will not be too affected, we have the time to increase the number of off-duty soldiers.
The steel armors were naturally not fully equipped. After all, the No. 2 smelting plant in the north had not yet started construction, so the steel armors and equipment shipped from the south could not be fully equipped for these warriors, but this was enough to make the leaders' eyes widen.
The winter light is so warm, what is it that blinds my dog’s eyes?
Yu Zai gave a review and said that it was okay. It seemed to be very bluffing. At least the momentum could scare the average opponent. At this time, if he fired two more shots and slashed twice, the opponent would basically be completely defeated.
collapsed.
But you cannot have this mentality when fighting against the Communists. At this time, the phalanx of warriors below began to separate, and then practiced amid the discussions of many Central Plains officials and leaders.
Then, Lord Qi stood up and actually started to conduct strategic deductions on the spot!
At first glance, this wave is different from the military exercises we conducted in the south.
"Please see, this formation is what we believe, after some research, to be able to target the Gonggong Cavalry Corps. It is mentioned in Sir Bai Kui's military book. It can also be said that Sir Bai Kui is the formation that can be used against the Gonggong Cavalry Corps.
This provides guidance..."
Mr. Qi will demonstrate to everyone. In fact, the method is very simple. It is to throw the small wooden cart to the side, flip it over and make it look like a big shield, then put a spear on it, and then insert firearms and crossbows between the spears.
For the primitive light cavalry of this era, it is impossible to compete with this kind of turtle shell. Of course, it is also troublesome. After all, the opponent can run faster than our own infantry. If we cannot defeat it, we can make a roundabout way.
Some ministers raised this question to Mr. Qi:
"If Gonggong can't beat you, why can't he shoot arrows around you? Then you won't be beaten passively? No matter how powerful your weapons are, the heavy equipment is only used for siege. The firearms are fired randomly and the smoke is filled, but it blocks the sight of your family.
."
Qi: "This is a good question, sir!"
Mr. Qi nodded, then waved to the side and shouted:
“Second Captain, pull up that Hongzhou equipment for me!”
Subsequently, a swarm of bees appeared on the stage.
“The full name of this thing is anti-cavalry rocket cluster attack group, or swarm for short. When we fight, the duel with the cavalry must be an encounter, but we will not be as rigid as we are demonstrating now.”
“My command may not be as good as Lord Baikui, but the tactics and methods are all written in the Southern Military Book.”
Master Qi assured the ministers and leaders.
said that my tactics are not very good, but I have a strategy. I will follow the strategy and pay attention to the positioning and output timing. You can control this yourself. The one with the lowest DPS will voluntarily quit the team.
“This is why, among the firearms you see set up, apart from the hand-held ones, there are also some wooden cannons and those heavy cannons!”
"Majia people are equal to cavalry. Gonggong just researched this unit not long ago. We all know that wild animals are afraid of fire and thunder. I will demonstrate to you the power of this cannon in a moment. In short, first cover it with artillery fire.
When the cavalry exploded into panic and the horses did not obey the command, the archers approached and fired thousands of arrows. As expected, the cavalry lineup should collapse for the second time and be completely scattered. If they launch a charge at this time, follow the above instructions.
Counterattack method, when approaching, carry them out in a swarm, and kill many of them in an instant."
Mr. Qi started to talk wildly and turned on the paper strategy. He also made it clear that it has not been tested in actual combat. Whether this strategy can be successful is still open to question. Even if it is to fight an ant, the opponent will be an ant that has never been seen before.
Ants, you must be careful and use all your strength! After all, according to Prime Minister Yu, there are also termites that chew wood and fire ants that sting.
After all, your chance of being killed by an ant is not zero.
Master Qi immediately asked the soldiers to demonstrate the power of a swarm of swarms. He set up a target and fired at it randomly. The rockets flew all over the sky, which was amazingly powerful. When the soldiers set fire, they also shouted strange slogans.
【"Invincible!"】
A certain leader around him asked: "Why do they shout that they are invincible?"
Qi: "This is an operational process. When I was in the south, I saw someone say this. It is like 'prepare - release'. It can effectively improve the tacit understanding during firearm assembly and rotation, and in battle,
Keeping the slogans and regulations in mind can effectively reduce the inner fear."
A certain leader: “So that’s it.”
"Of course, the best situation is that there is no encounter, then we have more room for maneuver. We can lay mines, set off pyrotechnics, incendiary bombs, and air-drop explosives..."
Mr. Qi said, and demonstrated the weapons to everyone one by one, including the incendiary bomb developed by Yu Zai. This little thing does not look amazing, but it is very unique in use!
Qi: "This is the latest firearm product developed by Mr. Bai Kui! It has high quality and good performance. One fire can hold up to six fires. It will burn for three days and three nights without stopping. It is not afraid of water splashing. It is not afraid of being covered with earth. It is not afraid of being blown by the wind.
It’s even more powerful!”
Yu Zai also stood up at this time and told the excited leaders that Gonggong would be the first major customers to face incendiary bombs this time.
“We have always emphasized the importance of quality in product production. A good product can be remembered by customers for a lifetime, and the fear will not be forgotten until death. This is the case with Huandou, for example.”
“We would like to pay our highest respect to the Axisui family during the Shennong period. Similarly, we also hope that Gonggong will give us a good review after receiving this incendiary bomb. This is our greatest encouragement.”
After Prime Minister Yu did some brief self-promotion, Mr. Qi continued to show others advanced weapons, including a hot air balloon that was charged for one hour. The big junk thing flew into the sky, and everyone was looking at the sky.
Looking at the sky——
Then they saw the hot air balloon flying to a field circled by the martial arts field, throwing an object from it that didn't know whether it was a brick or something, and then a big explosion occurred in that area!
Many civil servants and tribal leaders were shocked.
At this time, Yu Zai had already gone down to the grassroots combat unit, and together with Chonghua and others, he was asking the soldiers about their proficiency in operating various weapons. Seeing that these Central Plains soldiers had completed a complete set of combat plans relatively proficiently,
Yu Zai asked another question:
“Twenty-one rules for the maintenance of firearms and explosives, recite them and I will listen.”
A certain soldier: "Aba Aba..."
Yu Zai immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Master Qi: "This is not possible. Firearms and explosives are not omnipotent. If the weapons are useless, no matter how powerful the technical tools are, they will become a pile of scrap metal. This maintenance code must be recited in full.
The war is about to begin, and I will be ready to leave in about half a month."
Mr. Qi was a little surprised at the time: "Fifteen days, are you going to set off so soon?"
Yu Zai: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. Autumn and winter are the peak seasons for combat. Gonggong must have gained a lot this winter. In spring, tribes and states in each place must settle down to prepare for the coming year's food and cultivate crops.
Land and go to work, otherwise what’s the use of having so much land?”
"Even if Gonggong plunders many slaves to work for him, his general pattern of activities will not change. No matter how powerful the cavalry is, we will directly attack his farmland during spring plowing and plow it for him.
It was so messed up that even if he had a large amount of food reserves, he would still have to lose a year's worth of food, which is not a small sum."
“How much food does he have, enough to last for several spring and autumn seasons?”
Yu Zai smiled: "Thanks to the grain storage system established by Ji Qi and Tai Xi, as well as the large-scale planting of wheat in the past few years, this thing is very lively. Coupled with advanced farming techniques, water conservancy management has been effective.
, now there is so much grain in the Central Plains that even the barns cannot hold it, enough to carry on a tug-of-war with Gonggong for more than a year."
"When fighting a war, what we fight is national strength, productivity, mobilization, logistical supplies, and weapons reserves. These are all intuitive manifestations of national strength. The way of fighting with war is to dance on the tip of a knife, to cook oil with fierce fire.
Damn it, once he loses a few games, it will be over, and how to make him die as soon as possible? That is, strategically, tactically, and in combat, if we are stronger than the other party, he will definitely lose."
“Please Sir Qi, please make a list of all the supplies that can be mobilized in the Central Plains and deliver them to me.”
Yuzai said to Master Qi again:
"For example, now Gonggong has three horses, divided into upper, middle and lower. I only have two horses and a lamb. I can beat him. If I use the lamb to beat his superior horse, the lamb will surrender directly. Then I
Use my high-grade horse to beat his medium-grade horse, and my medium-grade horse to beat his inferior horse, so..."
“His horse is gone.”
Master Qi nodded. The reason was very simple. He understood it immediately because of the comparison.
