Chapter 116 Bayonet
At the beginning of May in the 60th year of Kangxi, all parties in the world fell into turmoil, but Wuchang, which was supposed to be the center of the eye of the storm, felt a bit of peace, and the lives of the people gradually entered the right track, especially in the recovery period. Under the Han army's policy of providing relief with work, many ordinary people helped the Han army to work in their spare time.

When those hard-working people knew that the construction site they were building was not a palace for the governor, but a university hall for people to study, everyone seemed to be more motivated.This is building a school. In the past, it was a great thing to accumulate virtue!

During the noon break, a few men who had been earning hard money on the construction site for a long time were drinking tea under the pergola. The tea was also provided by the Fuhan Army. A lot, but in this weather, drinking is chilly in people's hearts, not to mention how comfortable it is.

"Hey, do you know? The major general is going out to fight again!" A man with a braid cut said with a mysterious expression on his face. The topic of war is the most popular topic among workers. People formed a circle, waiting for the man to tell everyone.

The man picked up the teapot and took a sip of it, then said mysteriously: "My uncle's son was originally a soldier in the Hanyang Camp, and later he was enlisted in the Young Marshal Army because of his good performance in all aspects. the news."

The so-called Young Marshal Army is actually what many outsiders call the First Division, because from the very beginning when Ning Yu led his troops to the expedition, it was the troops of the First Division who took down Daye and Huangzhou Later, he led a division of troops to defeat Wang Wenhuan and Hengrui. This army formed a famous army, also known as the Young Marshal Army.

The onlookers felt a little impatient, and hurriedly said: "You should hurry up, you will be in a hurry now!"

The man chuckled, "Hey, why are you in such a hurry, I only know that this time the Young Marshal's army is going south, hey, when the time comes, beat those gangsters until they come and go!"

Puqi, Hubei, was also called Chibi in the past, and the battle of Chibi that shocked the world was launched here. It is an important town on the edge of Hunan and Hubei provinces. Qi is a fork point, so it has always been a very important position in the strategic deployment of the Fuhan Army today.

Ning Yu brought a group of guards to the ancient battlefield of Chibi. Strictly speaking, this place could be called a tourist attraction in ancient times. Du Mu once came here to pay tribute to the ancient battlefield of Chibi, and Ning Yu is about to go south to fight , the mood is also somewhat complicated.

In Ningyu's plan, taking down Yuezhou is not the key point, but a long period of external battles will be carried out later in order to attract the attention of the Qing army and reduce the pressure on the internal Wuchang.

Judging from the current situation, the current [-] Qing troops assembled in Yuezhou are basically the last Qing troops in Hunan. After all, the center of gravity of Huguang has always been in Hubei, so the number of Qing troops in Hunan has never been very large, but in this way On the contrary, it will be difficult after all, and the problem is still siege.

In terms of numbers, Ning Yu's troops have always been very limited, so he has always avoided siege battles with heavy casualties. However, the Qing army is now prepared for the method of using gunpowder to open the city before. The military gunpowder carried at one time is limited, and it needs to be prepared for subsequent battles, so it cannot be used indiscriminately.

Cui Si did not stay in Wuchang, but accompanied the army together, which was what she herself requested. She usually dressed as a male scribe and helped Ning Yu with military affairs. Therefore, she acquiesced in this behavior, and now Cui Si accompanied Ning Yu to the ancient battlefield of Chibi.

"After Cao Cao took Jingzhou back then, it was obvious that he could wait a bit longer. First consolidate Jingzhou, train more sailors, and then launch a southern expedition. Even if Sun Liu joins forces, it will be difficult to resist. Do you know why he is so hasty? ?" Ning Yu said to Cui Si while looking at the scenery of the ancient battlefield.

Cui Si was also familiar with history books, so she was naturally very clear about these allusions, and said softly: "He probably feels that he is already old, and if he doesn't fight, he will lose his chance."

"That's right, Cao Cao was already in his fifties when he launched the Southern Expedition, and his teeth became increasingly loose. I'm afraid he also wants to end this troubled world as soon as possible."

Ning Yu sighed leisurely, looked to the north, and said with a wry smile: "The Kangxi we are facing now is already in his sixties, no matter how you say it, he is afraid that he will not have a good life for two years. He is anxious, and he will definitely come. "

An emperor who didn't have many days to live, the thing he wanted to do most before his death was to wipe out the rebels of the empire one by one.But what makes Ning Yu feel a little frustrated is that it is difficult for him to find an ally like Liu Bei now, so he can only rely on himself to fight the coming Qing army.

For Ning Yu, his main energy for a while ago was on the First Division. This so-called Young Marshal was famous in the eyes of outsiders, but in Ning Yu's eyes, he was still unqualified. There are still many problems. If he just leads people into the battlefield like this, problems will easily arise.

The original First Division was a mixture of some elites from the Young Eagle Battalion and some veterans from the Hanyang Battalion, and then continued to expand and reorganize the army, so that at least half of the 1 people in the First Division did not fight much. Thirty percent of the recruits who have been in the war are soldiers who have fought against Wang Wenhuan, and less than [-]% are veterans who have been trained in blood.

Ning Yu understands that in this war, the First Division needs to shoulder many tasks, not just taking down the Yuezhou Bureau. Therefore, for the reorganization and training of recruits, every minute and every second must be seized, otherwise In a war, it is oneself who suffers.

However, Ning Yu has also had many times of reorganization experience. The current First Division has a total of more than 2000 people. It is divided into four infantry regiments and one artillery regiment. Each infantry regiment has [-] people. Guns, and each is equipped with two grenades, plus the artillery of each regiment, which can ensure that each regiment can fight alone.

In terms of firepower supplementation, Ning Yu set up an independent artillery regiment under the establishment of the first division, with a total of 500 people, divided into three battalions, a light artillery battalion, a heavy artillery battalion, and a grenadier battalion.The light artillery battalion is equipped with 24 six-pound mine-type guns and twelve eight-pound mine-type cannons, while the heavy artillery battalion is equipped with twelve eight-pound mine-type cannons and twelve twelve-pound mine-type cannons, a total of sixty Cannons of different calibers.

As for the bomb-throwing battalion, a group of people with extremely strong arms are selected from the entire army. They only practice bomb-throwing every day, and everyone wears armor and is equipped with a long knife. After the grenade is used up, it will rush to the forefront with a knife.

In addition, Ning Yu also formed a personal guard battalion. This personal guard battalion is basically composed of elite veterans and some of the Ning family's sons. The entire battalion, especially in terms of hand-to-hand combat, can be called the number one in the entire Fuhan army.

This is also because, for the personal guard battalion, when it is really necessary to go to the battlefield, it is often the time when the battle strangulation is the most intense, and a final decision is needed, so there is no time to use firearms, and this also determines that the personal guard camp will be The unit with the heaviest casualties in the entire division.
