Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 669 Infantry and Artillery Coordination
The upgrading and innovation of weapons and equipment must follow a law, that is, under the steadily increasing demand for war, continuous investment of human, material and financial resources, based on a practical perspective, through continuous research and development and trial and error, to clarify a set of systematic, structured and classified weapons and equipment.

Adhering to the principle of newly researching one generation, half-finished one generation, final production one generation, and equipped one generation, as long as we can realize this strategic blueprint of strong direction, we will never be crushed by other countries' forces!

Zhu Youxiao was precisely aware of this principle, so from the moment he set up the Special Military Equipment and Cleaning Personnel Department, he told Song Yingxing and others everything he knew, including those fragmentary ones, without reservation. Professional matters should be left to professionals, and only in this way can an unusual collision be achieved.

With absolute support and assistance, by maintaining several regional wars, taking the interests of the Ming Dynasty as the greater good and the lives of the Ming Dynasty warriors as a spur, Song Yingxing and his men always kept their guard up.

The military industry is an important indicator of a country's strength. Zhu Youxiao would not interfere with or suppress Song Yingxing's talents as an amateur, nor would he interfere with or suppress Song Yingxing's talents as an emperor. He would only continue to push the military industry forward based on "needs and righteousness."

By now, the weapons and equipment of the Ming army that Zhu Youxiao valued are gradually being eliminated and replaced.

Perhaps there is still a long way to go before a full replacement, but at least a group of Ming troops are changing and are beginning to show their prowess on the battlefield.

that's enough!!!
"what is that?"

"Artillery attack!!"

"Get out of the way!"

On the Shura-like battlefield, when the Jianlu archers who were supporting the rear line launched arrow attacks on the invading Ming army, many of them saw black shadows flying in the air.

These solid bullets are quite large in size, presenting a parabolic shape in the air and rotating at different frequencies, which creates a very strong visual impact!

"boom!"

"boom!"

On the noisy battlefield, violent collisions began to occur, and even the ground was shaking. However, when some people looked towards the source of the sounds, what they saw filled them with fear, and some even froze in place.

There were gaps and passages in the surging Jianlu army line, and in these places, there was nothing but disgusting blood and flesh, and even a pungent fishy smell mixed with a faint meaty aroma filled the air! !
"bingo!!"

"bingo!!"

As some collision sounds were heard, Li Maochun, who was in the right-wing artillery formation and holding a telescope, could not hide his excitement. Seeing the long string of flesh and blood, he did not feel any fear, but on the contrary, his fighting spirit was extremely high.

"hurry up!"

"Pressure the gun! Clear the chamber!"

"Gunpowder ready!"

"Clean it up carefully, don't be in a damn hurry!"

In Li Maochun's ears, there were endless shouts and calls. The soldiers who were responsible for operating the Hongwu-style Shenwei heavy artillery could not hide their excitement. However, they did not relax. Instead, under the command of their officers, they stood in different positions and performed their duties, moving skillfully according to the procedures to prepare for the next round of artillery fire.

"Attack!!"

"Advance the front!"

"quick!!"

After a brief excitement, Li Maochun immediately thought of something, then turned around and shouted in a deep voice to the flag-bearing soldier behind him.

After hearing this, the strong and sturdy flag-bearing soldier shouted in a deep voice, then glared and shook the flagpole in his hand, which immediately excited many people.

"My men, it's time for us to attack!!"

"Follow me to bombard the Jianlu!" With shouts, groups of artillery soldiers were seen carrying wooden boxes, operating carriages, or pushing wheels in the right wing artillery formation. They were escorted by the outermost sword and shield soldiers and moved towards the area marked before the battle. At this moment, the artillery soldiers were not thinking about anything else but one thing: to get to the designated area as soon as possible! !

In the same area, many people from the far left artillery formation also rushed forward. They did not show the same fear of slavery that they had shown before.

“It’s so enjoyable!! It’s so enjoyable!!”

Xiong Tingbi, who was in the center of the army, saw through the telescope in his hand that the artillery arrays on the left and right wings had started to move. He couldn't help but glared and shouted, "This is what we call war! Your Majesty is right. Cavalry and archery are invincible. It's just that the artillery is not firing enough and the bombardment is not powerful enough!!!"

"This one-sided firepower crushing is so fucking cool, old slave, how about this great gift I'm giving you, haha, isn't it cool!!"

"Bu-tang, look!!"

Cui Ruxiu, who was standing nearby, shouted excitedly at this moment.

Xiong Tingbi, holding a telescope, frowned and glanced at Cui Ruxiu, then looked in the direction Cui Ruxiu pointed, and saw the chaotic front battlefield, with clusters of scattered troops changing, and behind these troops, several long lines of troops, stretching between the Jianlu and the Ming army.

Seeing this scene, Xiong Tingbi's mouth corners curled up slightly.

The Mandarin Duck Formation + Line Tactics, coupled with a large-scale artillery offensive, isn't the Eight Banners Force you created strong? Okay, let's compete on the battlefield! !

On this battlefield of iron and blood, people are getting hurt all the time, and some are even falling on this land forever. However, for Xiong Tingbi at this moment, he doesn't care about these at all.

Compassion does not control soldiers, justice does not control wealth.

As a military commander, Xiong Tingbi has experienced a lot and has long since put life and death aside. Before the war, he might have a soft heart.

But once the war breaks out, he won't even blink an eye even if his own son dies on the battlefield!
If you don't have the ability to bear this, then don't lead troops to fight.

No matter how valuable a life is, it is not as valuable as tens of thousands or even more lives. Once the horn of war is sounded, the war will not stop unless one side is completely defeated.

"Prepare!!"

"Beep!!"

Located in the absolute center of the front battlefield, as the comrades in the front charged to the two wings, the stunned Jianlu were exposed in front of their own troops. The musketeers led by Zhu Mei, under the roars of their officers, all tightly grasped their Hongwu rifles. The sounds of artillery fire, shouts, breaking air, and roars echoing in their ears... However, none of them affected these musketeers who went into battle.

The first military law they learned after being selected into this special camp was that anyone who was afraid of fighting, feared fighting, or fled on the battlefield would be killed on the spot. In serious cases, their three clans would be arrested and sent to the border, and they would not be pardoned even if they were pardoned! !

"Beep! Raise your guns!"

In such an environment, comrades would fall to the ground in pain from time to time, but each of the musketeers who went into battle followed military orders.

Line tactics have extremely strict requirements for both commanding officers and grassroots soldiers. Military literacy must be strong and the spirit of fearlessness of death must be possessed. Only with these two requirements, in the face of high casualties on the cruel battlefield, can they withstand the fierce offensive of the invading enemy until the enemy is defeated!

It is precisely because of this that, among the various armies stationed in Liao, the battalions headed by Zhu Mei, Yang Zongye, and Ma Chengzong often achieved the most significant military exploits and were promoted the fastest in military rank!

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!

The real brave soldiers and strong generals are those who crawled out from the pile of dead bodies. Perhaps this is cruel, but this is the reality. If you have no background, no origin, no connections, and still want to climb up, you have no choice but to risk your life!

This was during the Ming Dynasty during the Tianqi period.

If it were any other time, even risking your life might not necessarily guarantee a good future!
Zhu Youxiao only knew one thing, that if he wanted to change the Ming army, in addition to providing them with adequate food and pay, he also needed to clean up the promotion path. If these were done well, he would be able to gain the loyalty of a large number of officers and soldiers!
This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao maintained wars in Liaodong, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Korea. As long as the armies active in these regions can be trained in batches, then in a few years, there will be nothing that Zhu Youxiao can take seriously.
