Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 166 Supervisory Committee Experimental Musketeers
When Sun Xin entered the room, he saw Hu Sanniang sitting on the kang, looking at the commercial tickets over and over again.

Sun Xin said with a smile: "The most valuable things in this room are not these few notes."

Hu Sanniang looked at him: "Just these few bills were exchanged for four or five thousand guan in our family's money. Don't tell me you bought other valuable things?"

"Isn't the biggest baby in our house sitting on the bed?"

"Yeah!" Hu Sanniang slapped Sun Xin's big hand away dissatisfied, and finally put away some of the resentment that the money was spent.

In the blink of an eye, it was July, and the first batch of crops had finally been planted on the land reclaimed this year.

Early in the morning, Luan Tingyu took the farmers who participated in the training of farmers and soldiers in the village to the teaching field.

Luan Tingyu rode on a tall horse, commanding the soldiers to come and go and conflict, as if he was already an officer in the gun era, definitely the first in this year.

When Sun Xin came to the teaching field, he first asked the women of the Women's Federation to put the food and drinks aside, and many farmers and soldiers who were training turned their eyes to this side.

Before the sun rose in the morning, they gathered here and stood in line, walking around with wooden guns. By this time, they were already thirsty and their throats were burning.

He told everyone in the supervisory committee that no amount of ingenuity can match the results of the experiment, just like whether the straw at that time was used to make straw cotton or to grow mushrooms, no matter who made the suggestion, it would eventually pass the experimental supervision will be approved.

Looking at the changes in the phalanx, people with no military experience would be fine, but Lu Zhishen became more and more satisfied with it.

"That's what the best officers and soldiers are like."

Luan Tingyu looked at the training manual again and again, and finally agreed: "Then try to practice according to this rule first."

Sun Xin told Luan Tingyu: "We are practicing three-stage shooting now. Eighty to 100 people are arranged in a three-stage shooting formation and divided into three rows. The number of people in each row is about 30 people at the end."

Luan Tingyu thought for a while, nodded and smiled, "You'll have to wait until you bleed."

But Sun Xin still offered to find some farmers and soldiers to practice. After all, he himself had never fought in the war of the era of queuing and shooting. There must be many unreasonable things about the half-knowledge of the musket era and a series of calculations.

"it is good!"

Seven days later, Sun Xin brought everyone from the Supervisory Committee to the teaching ground at the foot of Dengyun Mountain for an audit.

In the era of cold weapons, there were various types of long and short weapons that could be matched with each other. A team needed to arrange soldiers with various weapons to cooperate with each other. However, in the era of Musketeers, there were only two types of soldiers in Sun Xin’s Sun Family Village: light infantry and cavalry. Add another artillery piece in the future.

"What's so strange?" After seven days of training soldiers in the summer, Luan Tingyu's whole body was darkened, and his cheeks were sunken, but he looked even tougher. He was full of pride but still quite dissatisfied and said: "What do you say? It's as if someone said that you really know how to farm and water well."

As the backbone of agricultural technology, if someone praises him for his good watering skills, he will definitely be angry.

So after the decision of Luan Tingyu, the chief military officer of the Supervisory Committee, a group of selected elite farmers and soldiers began a long and painful company-level tactical training.

Sun Xin said with a smile: "It's good to raise a trickster. In the future, when our soldiers are trained, all of them must be fat and strong. When we go out, we will let people know that our Sunjiazhuang is a good place. Good soldiers don't come from starvation. They come from fighting." It doesn’t matter if you usually eat better, if you want to train the perseverance of the dealers, you can take a period of time to let them suffer from starvation and experience suffering, but you must not save food during training and starve them to cause problems.”

Although Zou Run is not very enlightened, he has become a backbone of Sunjiazhuang's agricultural technology after Sun Xin's personal suggestion. Thinking about Luan Tingyu's words, Zou Run is amused.

"It's just that I don't support the improvement of the food during training. Every time farmers and soldiers are given such a good meal during training, the appetite of the farmers will be raised. Now they just come with wooden guns They are so pampered when they walk, how can we have such delicious food with them when we go to war in the future?"

Sun Xin pointed to the queue of 30 people in the distance, Luan Tingyu glanced at it and quickly understood.

"I would like to say that it is not enough for farmers and soldiers like this to just learn to shoot in formation. It is true that forming a horizontal line can block the charge of cavalry, but what should we do if they are attacked by someone coming to the flank?"

"You divide the team into companies, what is your idea of ​​a company with 100 to [-] people?"

Luan Tingyu made an opinion to Sun Xin: "There is no need to send such good food and drink."

Thirty people is basically the largest range that a company-level officer can see. If the width of the company is further expanded, the company commander standing on the side will not be able to take care of the soldiers at the end, and they will not know if someone has run away.

Luan Tingyu responded, and gave the order, and a small farmer and soldier captain thumped the snare drum.

Zou Run looked at the row of farmers and soldiers with bright eyes, "Now our farmers are so energetic, it is much better than before!"

Hearing the rhythm of the drums, the peasants and soldiers on the field quickly changed their phalanxes.

It was fast and good, without panic at all, and that's all. The key is that their queues stood straight after various changes, and the discipline was simply carved into their bones.

Immediately, he unfolded the training materials approved by Sun Xin for him and asked, "Are you planning to form all these peasants and soldiers?"

"Don't tell me I'm being polite to Zhuangshang. Naturally, our Baojia training resources are indispensable. I say this every time at the regular meeting of the supervisory committee."

Sun Xin told Luan Tingyu: "Let's start practicing changing formations."

Through this period of contact, Luan Tingyu has already had a preliminary idea of ​​musketeer battles. No matter from which point of view, the scenes facing future musketeer wars will only be more dangerous than the era of cold weapons. The discipline required is not comparable to that of soldiers in the cold weapon era.He has become vigilant.

In the era of muskets, the formation of infantry was actually much less changed than in the era of cold weapons, but it was also much stricter.

The training syllabus written by Sun Xin naturally aroused heated discussions after it was presented at the Supervisory Committee. Everyone did not have a specific idea about the war in the Musketeer era. .

The cavalry carried only muskets and cavalry spears, the light infantry had muskets and bayonets, and that was all.

Therefore, in the era of cold weapons, the complex formations where soldiers with different types of weapons have to go to different positions every time they change formations are completely meaningless. How does the company and battalion commander quickly understand the situation of his team.

At this time, what needs to be calculated is geometry, how to advance, how to turn, how to separate, how to gather, all the actions to be done by the formation must be entered into the mind of every soldier during normal training.

When they hear the drumbeat of a certain rhythm or see a certain semaphore, they can subconsciously understand where they should stand in the team, whether they should move with the person with their left hand or right hand, whether they should change bullets or release them. Gun, should you squat down or stand up.
