Borrow the day to change the day

The horn of "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooire" sounded above the garrison site of the beijing battalion.

On the Dianjiang platform, generals gathered, except for Zhong Jinwei, the admiral of the Beijing camp, the generals of each battalion, including the garrison ministers, assistant civil servants, etc. were there.

Today is the day to test the new army, therefore, the new army is the most eye-catching.

Regardless of whether they had seen the new army before, everyone on the stage was curiously paying attention to the five hundred new army soldiers.

The focus of the audience was led by three martial arts professors, standing in the best position under the stage.

The new soldiers are all in new military uniforms, without helmets, showing short haired heads.Holding a blunderbuss with a wooden stick, he stood motionless.

Cao Wenzhao on the stage passed by outside the pass, and he was already a general who was valued by Emperor Chongzhen.Therefore, he stood relatively forward, not far behind Zhong Jinwei.

It was the first time for Cao Wenzhao to see the new army. He watched the new army created by Zhong Jinwei, feeling very puzzled.

There are three places where the new army stands out the most.One is the military uniform, the color of this strange military uniform is really unprecedented, it is too conspicuous in the Ming army.

The second is the short hair of the new soldier, which feels much uglier.And there is no hair coiled inside the helmet as a buffer, so it is much more dangerous to be hit on the head.

The third is the weapon of the new army. What does it mean that the small wooden stick is plugged in the muzzle? Is it a strange weapon?This kind of weapon not only can't fire, even if it is used as a spear, it also has too many shortcomings.No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think this weapon would be as good as before.

As for the soldiers of the new army, judging from Cao Wenzhao's long experience in the battlefield, they are still very good.He has strength, perseverance, and a good mental outlook.

Cao Wenzhao was very puzzled by such a complex, don't make it look like it will damage Zhongxinghou's reputation in vain.He was going to watch this duel, and then find another opportunity to ask Zhongxinghou, and persuade him if necessary.

And those generals who have been watching the formation and training of the new army, because they know that the new army is actually a firearms unit, which is the former Shenji Battalion.Now it is just testing the new army's least commonly used close-up assassination technique, so there is no such big confusion and worry like Cao Wenzhao.

The sun has slowly exerted its power, and the soldiers on the school field began to sweat.But with the current situation, people dare not complain or make any changes.

Fortunately, Zhong Jinwei didn't make a long speech, and didn't even say much, and directly ordered the confrontation exercise to start.

At the school site, the pennant on the side of the platform began to wave, and instructions were issued one after another.

First of all, the soldiers in front of the general stage began to retreat to the two sides, revealing a large open space.

Then five hundred new army soldiers drove to stand in the middle, and began to change formations, forming small formations one by one.

The Fifth Army Battalion, which was watching, continued to send soldiers to imitate Jianlu's tactics and began to attack the new army.

The advantage of the new army in this competition is that it can form an formation. In fact, it is mainly to test the assassination formation of the new army, to see whether the assassination formation conceived by the three martial arts professors is practical or not.The disadvantage of the new army is that they can only use the bird guns that are similar to long guns in their hands.

In contrast, the troops participating in the competition in the Fifth Army Battalion can use any weapons at hand, but they have to imitate Jiankui and attack in an organized manner with personal bravery.

The soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion were selected from the King Qin Army and had relatively rich battlefield experience.Under the command of its general, some soldiers began to attack the front of the soldiers of the new army.

The soldiers of the new army are not defensive and beaten. They formed a small formation of nine people and took the initiative to attack forward.

The soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion quickly rushed in through the gaps in the new army's formation, but after rushing in, they felt even worse. They were surrounded by the new army's bird guns stabbing at them.If one can defend one but not the second bird gun, the casualties rise immediately.

And when the soldiers of the fifth army battalion attacked the soldiers of the new army, there would often be support from the side, and they would be saved if they were blocked or attacked, so that the attackers were attacked instead.

This situation was naturally expected by the generals of the Fifth Army Battalion. As long as the power of the formation is trained, it is much more powerful than fighting alone.

The general in charge of the Fifth Army Battalion continued to invest troops in front of the new army without any haste, forcing the formation of the new army to gradually become concave in the middle and convex on both sides, and the formation began to deform.

At this time, soldiers from the new Fifth Army Battalion rushed out from both sides of the new army's side and rear, rushed to the middle of the new army, and quickly cut the new army in two.

When the people on the general stage saw this, most of them felt that the battle was almost over, but because of Zhongxing Hou's face, no one dared to express this opinion.

Of course, some people don't think so.

For example, generals who have seen the training of the new army know that the soldiers of the new army have trained in small formations, and even the focus of training is small formations.

There are also some who have never seen the training of the new army, but their eyes are vicious, and they can see that the new army is not panicked at all, and they have formed a small formation to continue to fight.

Time passed slowly, and the new army's methods of intercepting and charging were slowly verified, and there was not much effect.

Seeing that the generals in command of the Fifth Army Battalion could only continue to invest their troops to consume them, they were a little anxious.In the end, they unconsciously dispatched pikemen, took advantage of their weapons, restrained the soldiers of the new army, and finally ended the battle.

Zhong Jinwei watched the new army slowly become smaller and smaller under the siege of the pikemen on the spotting platform until the whole army was wiped out.

Not long after, the statistical results were reported to Zhong Jinwei.The ratio of casualties between the New Army and the Fifth Army Battalion was one to three.

Zhong Jinwei turned to look at the large group of people behind him, and asked them, "How is it?"

He thought to let these people give their opinions and see where there is still room for improvement, but he was disappointed.

"Marquis Zhongxing trained the new army really well, the final general admires him."

"Our family has never seen such a powerful soldier. Marquis Zhongxing is really brilliant."

"The lower officials think that the new army has been completed, and there is a chance of winning against the real Jianlu."

"..."

Although these people were amazed by the combat effectiveness of the new army, there were various restrictions on the confrontation just now.If Jianlu, like the general of the last five battalions, sent out pikemen, he would be restrained to death.

Therefore, what these generals said to Zhong Jinwei was more flattery.Of course, there are also some people who think that the new army should use weapons of different lengths, and with this formation, it will be a powerful force.

Zhong Jinwei was bored, so he ordered the dissolution.Then he ordered Cao Wenzhao to follow him back to the admiral's office. He wanted to hear Cao Wenzhao's opinion.

Not only did he see that Cao Wenzhao did not share his opinions with those people just now, but Cao Wenzhao was recommended by him, and he was considered one of his own. With his personality, he would not only choose good-sounding ones for himself to listen to.

What are the shortcomings of this melee formation? After Cao Wenzhao's comments, I believe there will be a more fair conclusion.
