Borrow the day to change the day

"What do you think of this assassination formation?"

After asking Cao Wenzhao to sit down, Zhong Jinwei asked him directly.

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he wanted to stand up and answer.Zhong Jinwei waved his hand first, so he had no choice but to sit on the chair and clasped his fists at Zhong Jinwei and replied: "If we only talk about this formation, the general thinks that it is no problem to deal with skirmishers."

Zhong Jinwei nodded after hearing this and said: "This formation was created against Jianlu, they don't have the habit of Han Chinese forming formations to meet the enemy..."

Cao Wenzhao saw Zhong Jinwei like that, as if he was determined to eat Jianlu, he was a little worried, so he interrupted Zhong Jinwei directly: "Hou Ye, Rong Mo will boldly say that Jianlu has a strong learning ability. array because they don't have to."

What he meant was that if Jianlu suffered this loss once, if he could deal with the Ming army by forming an formation, he would definitely go to practice the formation.

Zhong Jinwei saw a trace of worry in the corner of Cao Wenzhao's eyes, and knew what he meant, because he was afraid that he would suffer a lot if he talked on paper and didn't know how to adapt.

Therefore, he didn't care about Cao Wenzhao's interruption of his words. He said with a smile: "If the Jianlu form an formation, it will be exactly what I want."

After Cao Wenzhao saw that he had made it clear, Hou Zhongxing said these words instead, his mind turned, and he asked tentatively: "Master Hou, could it be that the blunderbuss can shoot?"

Zhong Jinwei's guards laughed silently when they heard this question.Bird guns can't be shot, are they still bird guns?

"Of course, but the new bird guns used by the new army are currently being tested, and have not yet been mass-produced. I will let you see later. The wooden stick will be a kind of bayonet installed under the muzzle. shot."

Although Zhong Jinwei said so, he still felt a little regretful.The current bayonet cannot be easily loaded and unloaded. If the bayonet is installed before the battle, it will hinder the speed of loading gunpowder and bullets from the muzzle anyway.

When Cao Wenzhao heard it, he thought about it for a while, and then said to Zhong Jinwei: "Judging from the shooting speed of the bird gun, I am afraid that Jianlu can still get close. Although the bird gun can disrupt Jianlu's formation, However, if the opponent uses a long weapon to move forward, the length of the blunderbuss may be at a disadvantage. Especially for the cavalry, it is difficult to resist even a bludgeon with their horses charging forward."

His own army is the cavalry, so he naturally knows that the bird guns are probably too low-grade to charge the cavalry.I didn't mention the cavalry at the beginning just now, just to give Hou Zhongxing a face, so as not to make Zhongxing Hou think how powerful his cavalry is.

But now Zhongxinghou has a solution to the infantry, so he has no choice but to tell the cavalry.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei didn't mean to be attacked at all, and explained to him with a smile: "It's okay, if it's a plain, there will be a car camp to stop it. Even if it's not a plain, the Jianlu cavalry army may not be able to rush over. "

Cao Wenzhao was surprised when he heard it. If there was a car battalion, he could figure out that the cavalry would not be able to rush over.But without the car camp, would the cavalry be unable to rush over?

"Master Hou, please teach the general." Cao Wenzhao immediately asked. This has something to do with his cavalry, so of course he had to ask clearly.

"I asked the Bingzhan Bureau to transform the Frang machine. After it is mounted on the frame, it can be run by a horse, and the range will be much farther than the ordinary Flang machine. In addition, the fire rate is fast, and it can also fire shotguns. , with the cooperation of the new bird guns, it is basically impossible for the Jianlu cavalry to rush over."

When Zhong Jinwei said this, he felt thirsty, and when he thought of the things that people made before, he felt itchy in his heart, and said to Si Xiao: "Go to the Houya and bring those things I made, so that everyone can try something new."

After hearing what Zhong Jinwei said before, the fourth elementary school had already thought about it for a long time. When they heard that Zhong Jinwei asked them to move now, they quickly agreed and walked quickly to the back office.

When Cao Wenzhao saw Zhongxinghou, he just said that he could stop the cavalry charging at high speed with the Flang machine and the bird gun, and he was thinking about what to eat while talking.He felt that Hou Zhongxing was too absent-minded, so he reminded: "Master Hou, this fast-charging horse is extremely fast!"

Zhong Jinwei had turned his head to look at Cao Wenzhao at this time, seeing that he was still reminding himself worriedly, he smiled and said: "I will let you see the firepower configuration of my new army later, and the artillery configuration has reached the level of the hundred generals. , The firepower is extremely strong. As long as our army's ammunition is not used up, the Jianlu cavalry army will not be able to get close no matter how fast they are, so there is no need to worry about this."

When Cao Wenzhao heard it, he was a little surprised, but at the same time felt that it seemed reasonable.

Because it was Hou Zhongxing who said this, the famous man in front of the emperor, who organized and trained this new army, he must have the resources to do what Lord Hou said.

Thinking of this, he stopped worrying about the cavalry, and changed the question to remind him: "Master Hou, what if the ammunition is exhausted but there are still Jianlu?"

"Then run away." Zhong Jinwei's answer made Cao Wenzhao dumbfounded, and this statement, isn't it too irresponsible.

Seeing Cao Wenzhao's appearance, Zhong Jinwei stopped fooling him and said to him, "These questions you raised are all very good, but I have thought about it before the new army will not act alone until they have accumulated enough experience in battlefield firearms." .”

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he was relieved.

At this time, Sixiao had already returned, and stood in front of Zhong Jinwei to report back.In their hands, each held a row of wooden boards spliced ​​together by two small long boards. There were holes in the wooden boards, and each had a small stick left outside.

When Zhong Jinwei saw it, a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted the people around him: "Come, come, everyone, come and relieve the heat."

After speaking, he first grabbed a small wooden stick left outside and pulled it out from the raft.

Cao Wenzhao got close, and found that what Zhongxing Hou pulled out turned out to be a lump of ice frozen on a wooden stick.

Just when he was surprised, Zhong Jinwei had already taken one and stretched it out in front of him and said, "Come, relieve the heat."

Cao Wenzhao quickly reached out to take it, and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou."

He could tell that it was due to his good relationship with Lord Hou that he would be able to eat a piece of ice lump.

Everyone took a piece of ice lump, looked at Zhong Jinwei, and waited for Master Hou to eat first.

Zhong Jinwei was also polite, and licked it directly.Feeling unsatisfied, he gritted his teeth, and with a "crack", his mouth was cold.

"Uncle, it tastes so sweet." Ainengqi said to Zhong Jinwei after taking a sip.

"That's for sure, with sucrose added." Zhong Jinwei replied.When he was looking for sugar for flavoring to make popsicles, he discovered that sugar is so expensive in this era.

Zhong Jinwei thought as he ate, the material in this era is still not rich enough, but because of this, tooth decay is probably much less than in later generations.If there is a chance, create more cavities for the people of Ming Dynasty.

Cao Wenzhao was surprised when he ate the sweet ice lumps.He thought it was the ice cubes that the emperor gave to Zhongxinghou, but he didn't expect that Zhongxinghou made it himself.

He asked Zhongxing Hou for advice on this method, and Zhong Jinwei didn't hide his secrets, so he said it directly.

This is actually not a secret. In the Yuan Dynasty, some people used nitrate to cool popsicles.It's just that after the popularity of firearms, saltpeter was banned by the court as a strategic material, and fewer people used this method, and naturally fewer people knew about it.

Cao Wenzhao ate popsicles to relieve the heat, and the bursts of coolness stimulated him very well.Because of this, he suddenly remembered the question he had thought of on the general stage, and felt that it was necessary to remind Zhongxinghou, so he asked Zhong Jinwei.
