Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 654 The truth is only within the range of the cannon
The First Army of Lantian assembled rapidly, the first division and the third division reacted quickly, and the assembly was completed very quickly. The entire army of Lantian is a new era army completely out of production, stronger than imagined.

At this time, on the playground, endless soldiers lined up neatly, horizontally in rows, vertically in columns, horizontally and vertically, fully showing the order and prohibition of this army.

Li Chaohuo, the commander of the first division, is a general of the Li family and the veteran who was the first responder when Li Chaosheng formed the security team. Li Chaofeng, the commander of the third division, was also a veteran at that time. He wanted to be the main military officer in Li Chaolong's army Ability is one aspect, on the other hand the most important thing is origin.

Li Chaolong's first army is very different from other armies. This first army is the guard army of Lantian, also known as Lantian's personal guard army. Among them, the most officials at all levels are the generals of the Li family.

The advantages and disadvantages of doing this are very obvious. The advantage is that they are loyal enough. Their prosperity and wealth are all entrusted to Li Chaosheng, so they will desperately defend Li Chaosheng when they encounter danger. Even if they die, they cannot let Li Chaosheng There is no danger, after all they are dead, Li Chaosheng can protect their family's glory and wealth, if Li Chaosheng dies, Lantian's foundation will be over, it is unknown whether they can have the glory they have today.

Therefore, the loyalty of this army is much higher than that of other armies, which is a bit similar to the Cao family and Xiahou family that Cao Cao started.

As for the shortcomings, it is also obvious, that is, these people are loyal enough, but their strength is not necessarily the strongest.

In terms of military capabilities, the most capable army in Lantian is the second army in Guihua City. Li Chaohu's ability is indeed outstanding, and his military ability is also very strong. The generals under his command are only talented. He no longer had an overwhelming advantage, and some latecomers began to shine, such as Qian Twelve, this guy is still very good.

Next to Li Chaohu's army is Li Dingguo Division. The main reason why Li Dingguo Division is not as strong as Li Chaohu's army is that he has only one division, and Li Chaohu is an army. If one division is taken out alone, it is currently the strongest division. It is Li Dingguo's Northwest Division.

Followed by Wang Guixiang's cavalry division.

The last is the reorganization divisions in these large armies. Since they are reorganization divisions in the large army regiments, they will have a little problem, that is, they pay attention to collective operations, so the bravery of individual divisions may only occupy the second place in the assessment. bit.

The first is to pay attention to teamwork and to consider the coordination of the entire army, and not to emphasize the individual bravery of a division.

However, the Northwest Division and the Cavalry Division are listed separately, and they have high requirements on the individual abilities of the entire division. Therefore, fighting alone, these two divisions may be stronger.

The first division and the second division assembled very quickly.

At this time, the two division commanders also received the order and came to the military headquarters immediately, and saw Li Chaolong talking with Li Chaosheng at a glance.

"County Honor, Army Commander."

The two came up quickly and saluted. Li Chaosheng looked at the two and said with a smile: "Well, not bad, it looks more and more like a teacher."

The two felt embarrassed when they were praised. At this time, they looked at Li Chaosheng and smiled shyly: "They are all cultivated by the county lord."

Li Chaosheng said: "Okay, everyone is brothers, there is no need to be so polite, how is the army assembled?"

"Report that the county officials have assembled and are ready to leave at any time."

"Well, very good. Today's matter is very important. It concerns the safety of [-] people. You must be careful and take care of your life and bring all your wealth to me. Don't be picky and lose face in Lantian."

"Don't worry, the county lord, I will definitely bring my family property with me, so as not to embarrass Lan Tian."

Li Chaosheng laughed and said: "That's good, the army is ready to go."

After hearing this, everyone clasped their fists together and said, "Yes."

Li Chaosheng turned and left regardless of the specific military deployment here, but Li Chaolong called the two of them to the front and said: "Both of you give me 120 points of energy, this operation must not be missed, you know?"

"Commander, we know that the county officials have already said that this operation involves [-] people. We will not take it as a joke. We will definitely go all out to save the people from being poisoned by intruders."

"fart!"

Li Chaolong couldn't help but swear when he heard this, Li Chaohuo and Li Chaofeng looked at Li Chaolong in surprise at this moment and said: "Where did the commander say this? Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the county magistrate? Brother Chaolong, this is your fault." Well, the county magistrate has treated us well, and turned us from an unknown farmer to a big man who now holds a heavy army and can make an earthquake in Daming, we can't help but be grateful."

"Yeah, Brother Long, we've known each other for decades. You're not that ignorant person. How can you have any objections to the county magistrate? If Brother Long has any dissatisfaction, tell us two, and we will discuss it personally. Ask the county lord for a result, and the county lord will definitely arrange it properly."

"Yeah, Brother Long, what's your dissatisfaction, just tell me."

When the two of them heard Li Chaolong slander Li Chaosheng, they immediately became anxious, the county honor was not something they should talk about.

Even if it is Li Chaolong, the cousin of the county lord can't disrespect the county lord by saying the word fart.

Hearing this, Li Chaolong's face turned dark, and he looked at the two of them and shouted: "When did I slander the county magistrate? I mean you fart, what the hell are you thinking?"

Li Chaolong was angered by the two people, so he stared and shouted: "Time is running out, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I tell you, bring your family wealth to me, this time the county lord will also go to the expedition, if the county lord Even if you cut off your skin a little bit, it’s not enough to apologize for your sins, do you understand?”

"Ah, the county lord followed us to go to war. This county lord hasn't set off in person for many years. This..."

Li Chaolong said: "The county lord said that this time he is mainly looking at the combat effectiveness of our first army, which is regarded as an assessment, so I will pass it on to Lao Tzu. If anyone loses face this time, don't blame Lao Tzu for not showing him face. "

"Yes, I understand."

The two saluted immediately after hearing this, and immediately went back to mobilize the army. By the way, they told the soldiers that the county lord followed them to the expedition. This would definitely make the soldiers excited. Who would want to show themselves in front of the county lord? What about the bravery?
dong dong dong...

The three armies beat the drums, and the soldiers went out to fight.

Li Chaosheng stood at the head of Tongguan City, behind him stood Li Chaomeng, the commander of his personal guards, and Guzi, the secretary supervisor.

Looking at the new military uniforms of Lantian neatly below, the soldiers of the First Army who were in neat formation and carrying the latest improved flintlock guns of Lantian on their shoulders, Li Chaosheng couldn't help expressing his emotion: with arrogance and high spirits, he crossed Tongguan and killed jackals !

Seeing that Li Chaosheng's slogan rhymed so casually, Gu Zi yelled loudly: "The county lord gave the slogan: Be brave, be brave, cross Tongguan, kill jackals! Circulate the three armies, shout!"

Gu Zi let out a roar, followed by the officer passing through the city gate and read the words silently. He felt really good and immediately shouted: "The whole army shouted: Bravely and proudly, cross Tongguan and kill the jackals!"

"Arrogance and arrogance, cross Tongguan and kill wolves!"

This slogan is like dominoes. One unit started to shout, and soon it spread throughout the army. For a while, the spirit of all soldiers was aroused, and each of them widened their eyes, feeling that they were full of fighting spirit. They went out together, and gave them a slogan. This battle must be fought hard.

As for the 40 Chuangwang army that is about to face, the Lantian army is not frightened by this terrible number at all. If you just take a red-tasseled gun and count it as a soldier, then almost everyone in Lantian is a soldier.

And such soldiers, among other things, as long as they are given a bunker, 2 of them can definitely wipe them out, isn't it one to twenty?what a big deal.

I asked, if a soldier armed with a Lantian flintlock, covered by a cannon, and carrying ten grenades on his back, can he deal with twenty rogues holding spears at a distance?
And it seems to be one to twenty, but in fact, as long as they start to kill seven or eight people, their morale will be slackened, and it will collapse after killing more than a dozen soldiers. of the enemy.

So in this battle, they didn't feel that they would lose. They all said that arrogant soldiers must lose, which meant that when the difference in weapons between the two sides was not large, it might lead to underestimating the enemy and failing.

The comparison of the equipment of the first army in Lantian also uses broadswords, spears, and Li Zicheng's army of rogues with bows and arrows.

Dimensionality reduction has been hit, how do you think you lost this battle?
Some people say that dimensionality reduction strikes are a bit exaggerated, but I can give you an example. The current level of firearms in Lantian is infinitely close to that of the Eight-Power Allied Forces 300 years later.

Thousands of Eight-Power Allied Forces can easily defeat the 10,000+ defenders of the Manchu Qing capital, enter the capital, enter the palace, and burn the Old Summer Palace. Then Li Chaosheng's 10 elite can't beat Li Zicheng's [-] people?
The army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was stronger than the peasants with hoes gathered by Li Zicheng today!

Just as Li Chaosheng was thinking about it, a double-row carriage came out from behind. Behind the carriage was a cannon pipe rubbed with tung oil that gave off a black light. This is Lantian's latest artillery, an enhanced Type 40 rifled gun. The real dimensionality reduction strike weapon, this gun has the advantages of long range, high accuracy, and strong destructive power. It is a big guy that is difficult to match with conventional artillery, and it is also the latest artillery in Lantian.

Before the Type 50 cannon using Thunder Mercury came out, this was the crystallization of the highest wisdom in Lantian.

A full hundred of these cannons were pulled out from the city gate, and for these one hundred cannons, Li Chaolong allocated a regiment of troops to these cannons, forming an independent regiment of rifled guns.

Seeing the cannons being dragged out by the carriage from the gate of the city, Li Chaomeng shivered. He realized that the battlefield in the future might not be his world.

Faced with such a cannon, if he was hit by a single bombardment, he would be disabled even if he did not die. Therefore, he often thought of what the county lord had said to him. The future is an era that emphasizes teamwork, and it is no longer about individual bravery.

You are strong enough now, and you may fight a hundred people alone, but in the future, you may be afraid to face a squad armed with live ammunition on the battlefield alone. Personal bravery can no longer be used as the criterion for victory on the battlefield.

Li Chaomeng couldn't feel it before, but seeing the hundred black cannon holes, he realized that personal bravery is really useless in the future, no wonder the county lord is so attentive to the cannon, and always said that the truth is only within the range of the cannon. Nai, with this thing, who dares to be unreasonable with you.

Li Chaomeng used to think that the truth should be under his big stick, but now it seems that the truth should be under the cannon with a high probability.

The artillery regiment set off, Li Chaosheng saw this and said: "Come on, we should set off too, Meng Zi, gather the guard battalion."

"Yes."

Mengzi responded, and went to assemble the guard camp, but halfway through, Li Chaomeng came back and said, "Hey, county lord, may I ask you something?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Mengzi in surprise and said, "What's the matter?"

"Well, can the cannon below be equipped with a few for our guard battalion? It looks really good."

Li Chaosheng glanced at Mengzi and said, "Get out, the guard battalion focuses on mobility and is used to protect Lao Tzu. What are you doing with a bunch of cannons? Who are you planning to bombard?"

Li Chaomeng was scolded by Li Chaosheng, Mo patted the back of his head in embarrassment, turned around and assembled the guard camp.

Gu Zi smiled and said, "Brother Mengzi really wants to see what is great."

Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "This is also his advantage."

Soon after the troops assembled, Li Chaosheng rode on his fire dragon horse and said, "We have horses, hurry up, and rest in Mianchi tonight."

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, everyone turned away and went straight to the direction of Mianchi.

As soon as Li Chaolong saw Li Chaosheng like this, he quickly ordered the first division and the third division to send their respective cavalry regiments to protect Li Chaosheng, not to put the county magistrate in danger, but he stayed behind and went on the way with the army.

The [-]-strong army rushed to Mianchi in billowing smoke.

At this time, the people in the city had already left the city one after another, and the Qin army who had been walking in the city climbed up the gate tower. When Sun Chuanting came out to see all this, he was a little surprised, and quickly stopped an old man pushing a wheelbarrow and said, "My fellow, what are you doing?" Where are you going?"

When the old man saw Sun Chuanting's helmet and armour, he was still a little scared and said: "The intruders are about to break in, I have to escape from Xin'an County to save my life."

"Is it possible to survive outside Xin'an County?"

Hearing this, the old man nodded seriously and said: "We will survive. We are fleeing to Lantian. As long as we get to Lantian, we will have a good life and have enough food."

Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and said, "This is still a long way from Lantian. If you run away, if you are found by intruders, won't you be chased and killed?"

The old man smiled wryly and said: "That's no way, it's all fate, but there is one advantage, that is, we don't have to flee to Lantian, we just need to go to Mianchi, where people say there is a large army from Lantian to support us."

"Mianchi?"

Sun Chuanting calculated that the distance was about [-] miles, and he should be able to get there in one day and one night if he worked hard. If there were people from Lantian there to support him, he would have been able to escape the chaos of the war.

Sun Chuanting was talking to fellow villagers when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and someone shouted: "No, there are large-scale cavalry in the distance! They seem to be burglars!"
