Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 809
After leaving Qingjian City, Ye Yanshui River Valley turned to the west.The river flows down from upstream and travels through the valley.The side walls on both sides stand thousands of feet, straight as if cut.

Walking in the front, Wang Zhongfu said with some emotion: "I didn't expect the Jin army to fight so relentlessly. We were at the forefront. After two battles, you didn't have any injuries. The whole battalion had 500 people and only lost more than a dozen. Unbelievable."

Shu Jiming said: "Why, do you think we have too few casualties?"

Wang Zhongfu shook his head hastily and said, "How could it be? Of course it's best for our people not to be hurt. It's just that the golden soldiers are not as brave and good at fighting as the legends say."

Shu Jiming laughed and said, "What's so strange? We fought so easily, which means we are better at fighting than the Jinren!"

Wang Zhongfu said: "No. Most of the Jin people are from wild people, and they don't know what death is. We won so easily, not because we are not afraid of death, but because we are more adaptable to the battlefield. Why this is so, I haven't figured it out yet."

What's the trick?War is a struggle between two armies, and the core of an army's combat effectiveness lies in its organization.In this era, even if Wang Xiaolie talks about it all the time and everywhere, there are still many people in the army who don't understand, let alone the Jin army?The Jin army chooses the source of soldiers, the less organized and the less aware of life and death, the better the source of soldiers.People are a bit silly, and many times they don't understand the order.Of course, Song Jun is similar, and even thinks that a murderer who dares to kill must be a good soldier.

Such an organized team is very different from Wang Xiaolie's army.Especially in Jiang Min's army, the selection of soldiers is strict, the training is serious and responsible, and the organization is far superior to that of ordinary troops.Such an army can be several times the golden army when fighting in large corps.

It's just that the soldiers live in such an atmosphere every day, and feel that they are more demanding than other troops, but it's nothing special.I don't know how amazing the little differences add up.

While walking, the scout in front came back like flying.The report reported: "Ten miles away, the Jin army was found. And they were all cavalry, about two to three thousand people."

After hearing this, Shu Jiming hurriedly reined in his horse, and said: "On such terrain, we can only deploy one battalion. Forget it, you go back and report to the commander immediately, and we will line up in the open place in front. Only one battalion on the left and right will participate in the battle, and the other troops can only fight. wait."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the detective to ride back.

Wang Zhongfu looked around and said: "There are Yeyan tributaries on the left and right, and there are mountain passes leading to the mountains. It is not good to line up. Let's go forward and bypass here."

Shu Jiming agreed and ordered the whole army to continue marching.

Arriving at a relatively open place in the ravine, Shu Jiming said: "This is the place. Although this place is open, we can only form a camp."

After finishing speaking, he commanded the troops to disperse and prepare for formation.

There are five capitals in a battalion, the three in front are all side by side, and the two in the back are all side by side.The latter two are ready to deal with all kinds of accidents at any time, and they are also the reserve team of the first three.During the battle, Shu Jiming was in the front and Wang Zhongfu was in the back, controlling the formation quickly.

There is at least one member of the headquarters in each capital, who commands the troops together with the head of the capital.When necessary, the personnel of the headquarters can issue orders instead of the headquarters, and the head of the capital firmly controls the subordinates.Orders are accessible from top to bottom, which is conducive to command.

After the formation was completed, Wang Zhongfu looked around and felt that something was wrong.Shaking his head, he said to Shu Jiming: "There can only be three of them lined up here. And all three of them are lined up, and there is almost no gap in the middle. What's the use of the grenadiers in the back two? They go ahead."

Shu Jiming said: "That's right."

He hurriedly commanded the grenadiers in the two capitals behind to go to the capital in front.The battle the day before yesterday demonstrated very clearly that these grenadiers played a huge role.

After the arrangement was completed, Wang Zhongfu said again: "The grenadiers in the capital behind us are useless, and the ones in the left barracks are even more useless. Why don't we let them come to us, and they will definitely inflict the greatest damage on the Jin army."

Shu Jiming was taken aback: "There are so many grenadiers, there are four or five rows, and they are useless on the battlefield."

Wang Zhongfu said: "Why is it useless? They can be divided into groups. After the throwing of one group is finished, the spearmen will be replaced, and the other group will come. The spearmen behind will not be dispatched until the two groups are finished throwing. In this way, it will be twice as strong. ?”

Shu Jiming was right after thinking about it.

At this time, Wang Wenhong, the commander of the left, was coming over to inspect the army formation.

Shu Jiming stepped forward and told Wang Zhongfu what he meant.Then he said: "Two rows of grenadiers, if there are two groups, it is enough to firmly block the golden cavalry in front. The idea of ​​Wang Jian's custody is really good, what does the commander think?"

Wang Wenhong thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll order them to come here right away. You can see if there is any problem with Bu's army formation."

After speaking, I went quickly.As the commander of the left, he was in charge of the former army and the left army, both of which were under Wang Wenhong's command.

Not long after, Wang Wenhong brought the grenadiers from the left camp and arranged them with Shu Jiming.

There seemed to be many problems in the formation, Shu Jiming and Wang Wenhong always felt that something was wrong, and they were so busy that they were sweating profusely.

Suddenly a shrill horn sounded, startling the birds in the forest, fluttering about.

Wang Wenhong and Shu Jiming hurriedly turned their heads together.I saw dust flying in the valley, and the cavalry of the Jin army were already two or three miles away.

After watching for a while, Wang Wenhong said to Shu Jiming: "I'm in the back, together with Wang Jian. If you have anything to do in front, report it to me immediately! Seeing how the Jin army came, they didn't even plan to line up the army, but It's going straight to our formation! They must be fierce in front, you must stand up!"

Shu Jiming crossed his hands and said yes.

Wang Wenhong turned his head to look at Jin Jun again, and left in a hurry.

Shu Jiming bit his lip, hung up the grenade belt, and stood in the crowd.

With Wang Xiaolie's guidance, the Grenadier has reduced a lot of test time and has relatively complete equipment.Not only has the shape of the grenade changed to make it easier to throw, but the equipment and tools used by soldiers have also changed.They are all a belt with a grenade inserted in it, which can be pulled out by reaching out.Seeing the enemy approaching, the grenadiers lit the match.After pulling out the grenade in battle, light the fuse on the matchlock and throw it.The whole movement is done in one go, and the speed is very fast.

The Jin army suffers a lot every time they fight, and they are also changing their tactics.It is inconvenient to line up in the canyon, this time a long line of thousands of riders rushed straight forward.Based on experience, the Song army often collapsed in the face of such an overwhelming charge.Even if Wang Xiaolie's army is stronger, it can't stop the impact.

Shu Jiming stared closely at the cavalry of the Golden Army who rushed forward, thinking about the distance in his heart.At this moment, he had already forgotten the time, and only had Jin Jun in his eyes.

Seeing that the cavalrymen of the Golden Army were still more than 50 steps away from him, Shu Jiming shouted: "Vote!"

Before the words fell, the grenade with the fuse lit in his hand was thrown out.

In order to prevent accidental injury, the fuse is made longer at this time.Of course, it was also the first time bullying Jin Jun came into contact with this thing, so I don't know if it can be cast back.

The grenade was emitting black smoke on the ground, and the golden cavalry stepped on it.Hearing a loud noise, it suddenly exploded.

The horse was running wildly, when suddenly there was a thunder under his feet, and shrapnel pierced his body, and he went crazy immediately.Some ran forward, some ran to the side, and some turned their heads and ran towards their own team.

In an instant, the vanguard of the Jin Army was in a mess.

Shu Jiming didn't care about anything, he just threw the grenade forward one after another.How far it was cast, when it exploded, and everything was forgotten.Just like a machine, throwing the grenade forward, one after another.

The grenade at this time is made of cast iron with black powder inside, which is relatively rough.Relatively speaking, the charge is more than that of later generations, and the shrapnel is thinner, which is actually very unsafe.But as a new thing, as long as it is useful on the battlefield, what is safety?However, the power of black powder is limited. Although it will not explode in half, its lethality to people and horses is limited.But this limited damage is enough to drive the horse crazy, which is enough.
