Chapter 129
After eating, the disciples of the school discussed excitedly about the power of the cannon.

The teenagers quietly listened to the disciples discussing there.His eyes were full of envy.

Domineering Suo Na awakened everyone's sweet dreams.

After breakfast, Zhang Zongxian led all the people present to worship the sages who died in the Hetao Plain.

Countless Han family sons from the Great Qin Dynasty to the Great Ming Dynasty defended their homes here, blood-stained on the battlefield.The flesh and blood of countless warriors made it fertile.

If you take the Hetao, you can go straight to the hinterland of the grassland and threaten Guihua City.

If the Hetao is taken down, there will be thousands of miles of fertile soil that can be reclaimed, and then the water from the Yellow River will be introduced, so that the harvest can be guaranteed in drought and flood.

Taking the Hetao will give you the capital to compete with Jiannu for the grassland, and the decisive battle in the future will inevitably be on the grassland.

After three shouts of "Da Ming Wan Sheng", the exercise officially started.

The first is the cavalry confrontation. The cavalry regiment acts as the red team against the blue team composed of horse market caravan guards and newly recruited cavalry.

The exercise is divided into two parts

First up is the encounter:

The two sides met at a distance of two miles, and then the two sides confronted each other. The red side fired at a distance of a hundred steps between the two sides, and then put down the firecrackers and replaced them with cavalry guns to continue the attack.

The blue team is on the attack, constantly shooting arrows to attack the red team.

After all, it was an exercise. The red team's guns were filled with wheat, while the blue team's arrows had no arrowheads.

Following Zhang Zongxian's order, Boren and the cavalry regiment first strolled forward, and then the speed became faster and faster, changing from a stroll to a brisk walk.

When the distance between the two sides is less than [-] steps, the fast step turns into a run, and rushes towards the enemy's formation at full speed.

Even though the blue team is full of good riders and archers, facing the red team rushing forward like a wall, they are not as stable as usual, and the arrows they shoot are only sparse.

Some people even forgot that it was a drill, and turned their horses' heads and ran back in fear.

However, a small part of the blue team performed very well, shooting arrows continuously under the command of a big man wearing a white scarf.

And under his leadership, an arrow gradually formed, facing the impact of the red team.

The original plan of the exercise was that after the red team fired a round of firecrackers, the blue team could turn around and run.The red team will also slow down.Avoid the two sides really colliding together.

However, when the red team fired a round of firecrackers and picked up their lances, the white ten men led by the white scarf not only did not turn around but were still charging.

Seeing that they were about to collide in another fifty steps, the disciples watching the battle from a distance all exclaimed.Zhang Zongxian also looked through the binoculars in amazement at the man in white scarf.

At this critical moment, the big man in white scarf waved to the left and led the small team following him, passing through the junction of the red team's company and company.

Everyone's heart was relieved when they mentioned their throats.Then the audience erupted in shouts of "good".

The big man in the white scarf was also held up by his brothers, as if they had won.

Zhang Zongxian also remembered this big man in white scarf, and wanted to meet him after the exercise was over.

Those who were present were either from the Xinjun system or from the horse market caravan.Such a hero must be subdued and reused.

At this time, the carriage with the big red and white magpie flag on the five carriages quickly rushed to the injured and fallen rider, and then quickly jumped off the carriage with two medical women to check the condition of the fallen rider.

After giving the rider a brief treatment, the following soldiers carried the rider onto the carriage.This is an agreement reached between Zhang Zongxian and Ms. Su, and Ms. Su will send medical women to support in future battles.

Zhang Zongxian will protect the hospital and support the hospital to donate expenses to the hospital.

Although there is such an episode as the big man in white, it does not affect the evaluation of the cavalry regiment.

Generally speaking, the wall charge of the cavalry regiment is still very imposing, but the difference in the riding skills of each company made the white scarf see the flaw and seize the gap.

For the salvo of firecrackers, judging from the smoke at the scene, the firing rate is very high, basically reaching [-]% of those on the ground.

The action of changing the gun is also very skillful, and there are very few cases of dropping the gun.Cloth face armor is still very effective against arrows.

Iron ring vambraces also do not affect firing muskets.

Let the observing officer record the questions, and then start preparing for the next exercise.

Originally, the exercise ended here, but Zhang Zongxian specially added an exercise in which the cavalry charged the infantry phalanx in order to let the academy disciples feel the power of the cavalry charge.

First of all, ten hollow squares were formed by Zhang Zongxian, the disciples of the officer general academy and the youth battalion who were observing.

Then all the cavalry on the scene charged the hollow phalanx.Give these disciples a practical lesson and let them feel the cruelty of the battlefield.

First of all, divide them according to the companies that have been organized in the academy, and then disperse and fill in the juvenile battalions. The academy disciples stand in the front two rows with bayonets and flintlock guns.
The Youth Battalion stood in the third row with spears.

In front of the hollow phalanx is the artillery unit. They have to practice the firing process continuously before the cavalry rushes over, and they can't hide in the phalanx until the cavalry rushes to less than fifty steps.

After everything was ready, Zhang Zongxian also entered the first row of square formations, and immediately gave the order to start.

The domineering voice of the suona sounded again, and the artillery company immediately ignited the propellant, and the booming sound told Boren that this side was ready.

After Boren heard the sound of the cannon, he ordered to blow the horn of charge.

The cavalry regiment moved forward slowly, and the rest of the cavalry followed behind.

First change from a slow walk to a walk, then from a slow walk to a brisk walk, and from a brisk walk to a run.

On the side of the infantry phalanx, a red line was first seen, and then the line became thicker and thicker, and soon turned into a wall.

At this moment, everyone in the phalanx was holding their weapons nervously. As the wall got closer and closer, their breathing became heavier, and their legs couldn't help shaking.

Especially on the side facing the cavalry attack, many children trembled uncontrollably. Zhang Zongxian kept shouting:
"Hold on, hold on, hold on"

Suddenly, in a phalanx on the left, a child from the youth battalion was terrified, dropped his weapon and ran out of the phalanx forcibly.

After running out of the phalanx, they ran back and forth facing the forest of bayonets in the gap between the phalanxes.Still terrified.

Seeing that the wall was getting closer and closer, another boy ran out from the phalanx and slapped the running boy.

Then directly pulled him back to the phalanx.

At this time, it happened that the artillerymen hid back to the phalanx, and a hole opened in the phalanx.Let them also follow into the phalanx.

Boren has been in the first row of the charge, and during the charge he kept yelling at the officers to pay attention to adjusting the team.

According to the master's instructions, start running quickly, and then slow down when you are about to reach the square formation, and pass through the gap between the square formations.

Even if the speed was slowed down, many disciples wet their pants due to the oppressive feeling coming towards them.

From the air, it looked like waves hitting the rocks. The tight wall suddenly split and turned into streams of water, which flowed into the gaps in the phalanx.
