Chapter 494: Qi Shaobao watches the mighty Tiger Army
The Ming Dynasty military system led a hundred people, and a thousand people led a thousand people. When leading the army, they often had to ride a horse and follow a few companions around them.
Needless to say, Mr. Qian was protected by dozens of personal soldiers in the battle, and he was also riding horses and piercing armor. He was called the elite army. He could charge forward at critical moments, but in fact, he often fled first when encountering the enemy. Once the chief officer fled, what kind of intention would the soldiers below have to fight?
Therefore, in every battle, the generals sent their own soldiers and soldiers as supervisors to kill the soldiers and generals who escaped at the battle, which was restricted.
However, the two regiments of Huwei Camp are different. The large array of more than a thousand people, the group of the regiment, the flag bearer, drummer, and trumpeter stand on the right side of the front row and walk.
Moreover, this regiment always stood at the right end of the first row, observing the front enemy, placing orders, drummers, trumpeters and flag bearers constantly responding according to his orders, and rows of soldiers made tactical actions according to the flag and drum sounds. There were military generals on both sides of each row, who were responsible for correcting the formation, maintaining the distance of the queue, and responding to the enemy's changes and commanding tactical details.
Although the Fire Lock soldiers were practicing alone in another place, there were also arrays composed of auxiliary soldiers on this training ground. They pretended to be fire commanders and ran before the formation, and made shooting moves amid the command of the generals.
Such a formation has high requirements for the queue, and the movements are orderly and cannot be done at will, which also determines that the movement is relatively uniform and not too fast.
The generals were walking on foot, and they were a little nervous. They had no chance of escaping at the last minute and could only command layers of officers and soldiers to fight.
There is a spearmen behind the Huotong soldiers, and there is no worries, so you can shoot with confidence. The infantry array behind them is the role of a supervising team. If the Huodi soldiers are not good at fighting, the generals behind them will marching.
On the battlefield, the firearms in the hands of the Fire Commander were waiting for wooden sticks in close combat, and the hand-to-hand combat was extremely disadvantaged. But when they were shooting, they stood in front of the queue. The enemy approached, and the escape became the last escape. How could the Fire Commander soldiers calm down and shoot and fight? There was a strict spear queue behind them, which was a city fortress composed of people. The Fire Commander could rely on this city fortress to fight back and forth, echoing the spear queue.
With a sharp trumpet and a drumbeat, you can see the array of spears moving suddenly stopping. The spears that were originally raised upright were laid flat layer by layer.
There were sixty people in a row, and twenty rows of spears were placed down layer by layer. Although the dust was rolling on the training ground, the spear tip of the spear was shining in the sun, and it still made people feel murderous intent.
Almost all the spears in the front five rows can reach the front of the first row. It can be imagined that if the enemy is on the battlefield, facing the dense steel jungle in front, there is no way out.
"kill!!"
Li Hutou, the regiment general on the right side of the first row of the team, shouted. The spear in his hand was flattened forward, and the drum sounds were also rhythmically knocked at intervals. The entire infantry regiment raised his spear and stepped forward slowly with small steps.
"Continue to move forward!!"
Li Hutou shouted again, and the spear in his hand was raised, and the trumpet sound blew twice. The drum sound restored the rhythm of the step. Rows of infantry all raised their spears and continued to move forward.

"It's a little messy, but the formation is not disbanded. It's rare that I can get neat again after walking more than ten steps with the drum beats. This is really good!"
Looking at the training over there, the veteran said on the horse's comment. The dozen military generals surrounding him heard the praise of the veteran, and one of them immediately said in a deep voice:
"It's also a good guy. I've never seen fighting before. It's just a stunning move. If the troops and horses reach the battle formation, the enemy will collapse before they even arrive. The whole world is the soldiers and horses in our Jizhen can hold their feet."
"Don't look down on others. This Huwei Camp fought a war with the Tartars outside Xuanfu. Could it be that they had taken the lead? Otherwise, the sects were all cavalry and would definitely be defeated in one fell swoop, and people could still come back."
The veteran stared at the drills on the school field and said lightly that the civil and military methods are competitive, and the military generals were always unwilling to accept it, but the advance and retreat of the troops on this battlefield were well-founded and the orders were strictly placed in front of him, and he could not find anything to say for a while.
The regiment chief, deputy regiment, battalion officer, and hundreds of households were all wearing tiger-powered armor and helmets, and their bodies were covered tightly, and the dust could not cover up the flickering of their armor.
"We have more than 100,000 soldiers in Ji Town. How many sets of armor can we get together? There are only a few thousand people in this Huwei camp, and there are so many. Look at the soldiers holding the weapons, and see if they are wearing the suit. They are close ministers of the emperor, otherwise why would they have so much money to buy..."
After watching for a while, a military general next to him said in a muffled voice. This time the veteran general did not speak, and a younger general next to him said with a smile:
"Brother Zhang, this is not the money allocated from the palace. Tianjin Wei is so prosperous. Wang Tong relied on this Tianjin Wei to get a lot of money and spread some training. It is naturally enough.
"I have also heard of this, but the soldiers under Wang Tong had enough food and salary, and there was no
What is the discount for treasure money? Although we can practice harder than us, we can eat enough, live in a good place, and provide pensions. If we have this way, we can do this right now.
"It's easy to say. After the Ministry of War, the food and money will be allocated. The military supervisor and the military will have to take a bite first. The general also has to respect the court and the palace. The military generals cannot treat the money badly. How much can they have? But we all have good things, not inferior to these wealthy young masters..."
"No need to say, who is not like this in the world military town?"
The veteran said coldly, and the generals immediately fell silent. The veteran pointed at the Huwei Camp in front of him with a horsewhip and said again:
"What do you think about this army?"
"... The soldiers gathered rigorously, if the enemy attacked in a hurry, they could not take it down... "
"...Good soldiers and armor, but they just walked slowly. They couldn't rush up from the battle formation..."
Everyone said a few words, but they might not be unable to understand, but in front of their own commander, they still hide their weaknesses and leave the opportunity for guidance to the main general. The veteran said in a deep voice:
"You said that as long as you use these properly, they are not considered good or bad. The key to this formation is on the firearm. Look, if such a dense array is shot in, there are still those that cannot be shot. No matter how strict the constraints are, if there are many casualties, the formation will not be maintained. Therefore, the fire system must be used to use fire to break up the enemy's archers far away, and the fire guns must be used to protect the formation, so that the opponent's archers riding horses cannot come over."
After hearing what the veteran said, everyone looked over carefully and nodded. The veteran said again:
"The firearm battalion of the Huwei Camp was pulled out to practice alone. It seems that Wang Tong also knew this, so he had to practice it alone. However, fire alone was not enough, and artillery might be added."
While he was talking, a group of cavalrymen galloped towards this side in the distance. They arrived in a blink of an eye and hurriedly dismounted for a man. They walked over quickly and knelt down to see him:
"My subordinate Sun Zhibin met with the Grand Marshal. I don't know that the Grand Marshal came to Tianjin Guard. It's too late to greet him. I hope the Grand Marshal will not be surprised!"
The only person who can be called the general of Tianjin Guard Sun Zhibin is naturally the only general of Jizhen Qi Jiguang. The veteran general, who should be said to be the general general of Jizhen Qi Jiguang, smiled and nodded immediately, and said:
"Don't do so many false gifts. After reading your letter, I came here. I did see a lot of things. We can learn from Jizhen. If you have made contributions to this matter, don't kneel down and come over and speak!"
Sun Zhibin made a polite and then got up and followed Qi Jiguang half a horse, and walked out for a while. Seeing Qi Jiguang's contemplative look on his face, he stepped forward and said carefully:
"Master, Wang Tong's camp where the Huotong trained was about three miles away, but it was on the salt flat near the beach. According to the rules, it was also practicing at this time, so you should go over and take a look?"
Qi Jiguang shook his head slowly after a while and said in a deep voice:
"No need. Seeing the appearance of this team, I know that what you said in your letter is true. No wonder Yu Zhifu praised him, in the future, in the future..."
After saying a few words but not saying it, Sun Zhibin was a little confused about Qi Jiguang's intentions and said with a smile:
"Wang Tong has some silver in his hand, and he scattered it like flowing water. With Lord Yu's teachings, he naturally trained good soldiers. The general knows that Wang Tong practiced muskets and fired gunpowders and bullets every day, and it is said that many muskets have been damaged, so who would be willing to do this in ordinary soldiers?"
Yu Dafu's name is Zhifu, Qi Jiguang and Yu Daxian are close relatives, so Sun Zhibin spoke a few words, but saw Qi Jiguang still silently and pondering. Don't Zhibin is also a general in Ji Town, so he naturally knew what Qi Jiguang was worried about. He couldn't help but beat the horse and whispered:
"Master, is the situation in Halahetao like this?"
"One of Altan Khan's ten thousand households and the Dingkous of the Korqin tribe is nothing, but these people are not tolerant. Even if the peace agreement is not on these people, it can be used to practice... It is always good to die an extra one in the sect."
When Qi Jiguang said this, he was a little excited. Sun Zhibin hesitated for a while, got closer and said in a lower voice:
"Master General, Wang Tong is a close minister of the emperor and is very protective. There have been many people in recent years. Why do you have to do with this place..."
"It's okay. The troops on both sides of the Ming Dynasty are all from the Ming Dynasty. Shouldn't we contribute to the Ming Dynasty?"
…………
"Mr. Wang, there are outsiders watching the troops at the training of the First Regiment and the Second Regiment today. General Tan of the Regiment sent people to drive them away, but it was Mr. Qi Jiguang, general of Ji Town, who was watching."
