Chapter 961 Transfer

The infantry guns of the Shang regiment army were difficult to improve in the short term. After the installation, Zhang Han ordered mass production. At the same time, he began to increase the number of bayonets, and there was no problem with the weapon reserve. Small artillery, including three-pound cannons and four-pound cannons, as well as the tiger squat cannons commonly used by the Ming army, were also produced. There were other things in Lizhuang. Now there are no shortages of copper and iron. Whether it is copper cannons or fine iron cast cannons, there is no need to consider the consumption of materials. This is also the reason why the Lizhuang Firearms Bureau can quickly cast a large number of cannons and guns after conquering technical difficulties.

"Go and pack up the war horses!" After Niu Qinzhong smiled, he pointed to the battlefield just now and ordered a young squadron leader: "It's okay, the rags in the Beilu are not allowed to run one of the war horses."

"Yes, regiment commander." The squadron leader agreed with a smile, and then took the entire squadron's good players out and took the running horse back with a lasso.

Several squadrons of dracos walked forward on foot, and officers kept ordering to ask new recruits to come forward and stab the bayonets to free the seriously injured Beiliu.

Amid the moans and curses, the trembling recruits kept stabbing bayonets at the bodies that were no longer moving.

"Don't hesitate to move," Lu Si, who came back from two horses, pointed at a recruit and cursed: "You're not eating, your hands are so soft, have you added a lot of pain to him one after another? Are you cruel or soft? If you really want to be soft, you stab him into the vital point, and the left chest is the heart. The instructor hasn't taught you? If you stab him with one knife, he will kill him immediately, and there will be no pain!"

"It is impossible to save people." Zhang Yansheng felt nauseous, but he still said with a serious face: "They were all hit by muskets, or they were seriously injured. Our military doctors were unable to treat this injury, so don't suffer them alive. We will also treat the minor injuries to the Beilu. We are the merchant army, not the horse bandits and robbers."

After saying this, the recruits felt much better. Sure enough, they found several minor wounded men with broken arms and legs. They had stretchers and carried them back to treat the military doctor.

"Damn..." Zhang Yansheng was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but the bloody smell on the battlefield was too strong, so he couldn't open his mouth. After swallowing a dry mouth, Zhang Yansheng turned to Lu Si and smiled: "Fourth brother, how about it, I'll just say it's a good deal for us to join the Dragoon. There will be a battle immediately. Your face is like a day. Just your lancers are powerful. Look at the firepower configuration of our lancers, if you lancers rush forward, how much better will you feel?"

Lu Si bit his teeth, his cheeks bulged and his flesh bulged. After calming his breath, he said angrily to Zhang Yansheng: "Can we not conduct reconnaissance in war? How many families like Beilu come to die? I found that you have set up a formation, so we cannot hit the side and behind? We cannot cut off your food route, and we cannot raid while you march? We cannot cooperate with infantry and cavalry? Let's set up a formation, and our straight tube hit us and were killed by guns and cannons?"

Zhang Yansheng stuck out his tongue and saw that Lu Si was really annoyed. He didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. He just smiled and said, "No matter what, I think you are still happy in your heart, and finally you are fighting again."

Lu Si said depressedly: "The Northern Lu is really too weak. The pre-war reconnaissance is like a joke. Before the charge, there is no fire reconnaissance and small-scale tentative attacks. Without considering detours and terrain, I want to take advantage of the advantages of many people and cavalry. I am simply confused..."

"Oh, get, get." Zhang Yansheng smiled lightly and said, "If the Beilu would fight the same war as us, our merchant army would work so hard to produce an officer. Why, why? Not to mention the officer, just ordinary soldiers, who would not be good when they were taken to the border army or the Beilu?"

"That's true." Lu Si did not argue with Zhang Yansheng this time, but nodded and agreed with the other party's statement.

"I have some experience after this battle..." Zhang Yansheng thought again: "The purpose of the war must be clear first, and then the strategy can be clearly discussed before tactics are discussed, and then intelligence work. In addition, daily training can ensure the back and forth of the troops without any unexpected troubles, and then fully guarantee the logistics. Finally, we use these to analyze the gap between the two sides, including weapons and armor. The result is that in front of us, and we can easily win."

Lu Si silently said, digesting what Zhang Yansheng said. Although he was the winner of the highest medal and a powerful general of the Lancer Corps, he could not say anything about Zhang Yansheng's thoughts and would not consider them so comprehensively.

Lu Si sighed and said, "It seems that I still need to strengthen my studies and apply for the official school to study in the future."

Zhang Yansheng smiled and said, "How about you, still want to be an officer?"

Lu Si said: "No, I have been worried about many things as an officer. I just don't want to be fooled by you. Who knows whether you are right or wrong!"

Zhang Yansheng laughed out loud.

Lu Si first had a stern face, but later he started to laugh.

After a while, after the battlefield was cleaned, a pond horse with a red flag on his back rushed over from the north. All the officers gathered over, and Zhang Yansheng followed the team far away. He was a junior and had just joined the Dragon Cavalry regiment. His squadron had not yet adapted to the queue and launch of the guns... Every new recruit soldier had trained this thing, but with the division of troops, each person focused on training his own skills in his own troops, just like a gun cavalry regiment, which used short and lighter cavalry guns to be released on horseback, maintaining balance on the horse's back during the fierce racing, and can rush over from both sides after the attack and make quick arrangements, or observe the situation on the battlefield, or make a decisive horse riding and kicking the formation after the attack... Everything is completely different from pure infantry.

Take pure infantry as an example. The situation of fighting is different from that of the dragon cavalry. It has more subjects to caring for war horses and long-distance horse riding and marching. In addition, there are also simple horse-driving training, which is much more complicated than before.

In the Napoleon era, there were lancers riding horses and muskets, as well as chest plaques and hussars that rushed to kill with swords, and a large number of horse sporting infantry were called dracos. In the merchant army, according to the actual situation on the grassland, hunting cavalry with heavy firepower output and mobility were developed. Heavy armored cavalry were lancers, and horse sporting infantry was still dracos. Compared with pure cavalry or pure infantry, the equipment and training of dracos were much more complicated. Simply put, this is a cavalry team with infantry muskets and infantry tactics. In fact, it is much more complicated. For example, leather boots were changed to horse boots with spurs, which shows that this army had to master quite skillful equestrianism. Each dracos had a pickaxe behind them, which could make them build a chest wall for defense in an emergency. Yes, dracos must focus on attack, but they were absolutely not arrogant enough to feel that they would never need defense.

In addition, in terms of organization, because the most basic defensive formation and firepower output are required, the minimum combat arrangement of the Dragoon is carried out in companies, which means that other troops may send squads or squadron-level personnel to participate in the battle, while the Dragoon is carried out in companies at least.

Each company not only has an infantry gun, but the military department is also considering the composition of company-owned heavy firearms, including large guns and small cannons.

Everything is still under consideration. The new soldiers in this merchant army are full of vitality, because everything is still unknown. Everyone knows that in order to temper them, the military commander must use a large number of dragoons to participate in the war. What else can be more exciting to the soldiers who are eager to fight than this fact?

"Everyone stand at attention and line up!" Niu Qinzhong was holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking like an old smoker. He drank a lot of water. His lips were still a little dry and chapped, and he was obviously tired when walking. The officers in front of him were almost the same, with haggard faces, dry lips, bloodshot eyes, and obviously very tired. The officers were like this. The soldiers obviously had almost the same physical reserves. After cleaning the battlefield, many soldiers were sitting with guns. Although their faces were full of excitement, there were not many people talking, because everyone was very tired. Some of them were not old and the new soldiers who had just come from Lizhuang were all lying half-lying on the ground and fell asleep. These days they had been running around. They kept adjusting the defense line according to the orders of the division command. They could only ensure two hours of sleep a day. The rest of the time was either on the horse's back or in the battle, and it was difficult to calm down.

Niu Qinzhong looked at the Tangma, and when the other party handed over the latest military order, after receiving the envelope military order, he handed the military order to the adjutant of the central army beside him, and said, "Remember!"

Each commander has a different style. Niu Qinzhong has never gotten rid of this kind of old and rough soldier style, and people don’t feel strange. The middle officer opened the military order and said loudly: “The Second Battalion of the First Regiment of the Dragon Cavalry, if he was not in a combat state, he would immediately go to the Lianhuatan area to deploy defenses, and wait for the next military order in the specific defense zone."

Niu Qinzhong's face suddenly looked ugly, and the other officers' faces were also ugly. Everyone was eager to be transferred from the war zone and rest in the rear for a while.

Almost everyone has reached the limit of physical fitness. Even young officers such as Zhang Yansheng and Lu Si who are less than 20 years old feel the same. The feeling of fatigue is not the limit of physical fitness, but may also be that the spirit affects the body.

"I really treat us as mules and horses." Niu Qinzhong smiled bitterly. The ordinary soldiers were far away, and were surrounded by officers, but he only complained about this sentence, and said seriously: "Lotus Beach is sixty or seventy miles northwest, and there is Femme Mountain to the east. There are many mountains along the way. Everyone asked the soldiers to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then they had to hurry."

The central officer asked, "What should I do about the meal?"

"Calculate the time, how can I have the time to eat hot meals!" Niu Qinzhong shouted: "Everyone eats some dry food on the horse's back, that's it!"

A rude chief officer is prone to form a decisive and decisive style of the army, and of course it may also be rough and rough. There are inevitably several accidents when marching, but fortunately it did not delay for too long.
