Come to Daming with military supplies

Fan Yuhai's words can be said to be old-fashioned.The art of war says that the soldiers who subdue others without fighting are the ones who are good at what they do.Therefore, the upper army attacked the plan, the next was the attack on the cross, the second was the attack on the soldiers, and the second was to attack the city.In other words, it is best not to use weapons if you can not use weapons.Especially in this kind of battle that is not sure at all, we must be cautious.

Regarding Fan Yuhai's words, the other generals were obviously somewhat dissatisfied.

The so-called general is naturally the general who leads the army.But if the world is peaceful, their existence will not be so meaningful, and they will inevitably be despised.So a real general needs to use war to prove himself.

Fan Yuhai only said that the matter was a bit weird and still needs to be investigated. Isn't this to stop the swordsman or what?It is a strange thing to get the support of other generals.If it weren't for the crown prince's name-calling to express his attitude, I am afraid that some people would now speak out to accuse Fan Yuhai, and even impeach him for fear of war, which cannot be said to be without the slightest basis.

Prince Li Yuanlong listened to Fan Yuhai's words very seriously, and then nodded in acquiescing, "Yes, General Fan's words are exactly what this prince is suspicious of. Before finding out what happened, can you not move?" Swordsmen are naturally the best."

Hearing that even the prince agreed so much with Fan Yuhai's statement, Ruan Gengwang and other generals beside him would inevitably be a little disappointed.Originally thinking that they would not have the chance to lead troops this time, Prince Li Yuanlong went on to say: "But if the mercenaries approach the city tomorrow, what should we do? Could it be that we can let them show off their prestige and shout battles under the city?"

"Of course not. We don't want to fight, but we are not afraid of fighting. If the mercenaries really dare to do this, my cochin soldiers will certainly not be afraid. It is enough to go out of the city and destroy the opponent's prestige." Fan Yuhai raised his head and said Said with a firm face.

Of course, it would not be a coward to be called a famous general.It's not that Fan Yuhai doesn't want to fight, it's that he doesn't want to fight a useless war, and he doesn't want to fight an unwarranted war.

The so-called war is nothing but the final choice after peace talks and many situations are useless.As long as there are other methods, no one will choose this kind of road that wastes people and money.But if the mercenaries really meant to underestimate the Cochin Army, then they might as well teach them a lesson.However, only 3000 people came here. In the city of Hanoi with [-] soldiers, they were really not taken seriously by the generals.

No matter how you say it, Cochin has been established for more than 20 years, but it does not only have such a small force.Previously, it was considered that Hanoi City could not station too many troops, so only [-] troops were sent. If they really mobilized, it would not be a problem to have an army of [-] in the entire Jiaozhi County.

"Okay." Li Yuanlong happily responded to Fan Yuhai's words.What he wants is this sentence, no matter what the mercenaries want to do when they come to Hanoi City, they can't let them go on rampant, otherwise it will be a provocation to him, the prince, which he absolutely does not allow and does not want to see things.

Li Yuanlong, who had already planned in his heart, heard Fan Yuhai's words, and immediately began to form his troops.Some negotiations need to be fought, and the principle of peace that is fought is universal at all times.

Compared to Kong Quanxin who took the third battalion a step ahead, Yang Chendong's troops who left the city behind them were not in such a hurry when they left the city.

More than 5000 cold fronts, auxiliary soldiers and temporary auxiliary soldiers naturally walked at the forefront of the team, followed by 7000 young people from Chixian City.After leaving 2000 people in Quyi City, Beidai City also left 1000 people to be responsible for the development of various tasks in the city.At the end of the team is the Cochin mercenary army composed of Cochin general Hong Jin and two thousand newly recruited troops.

After receiving Yang Chendong's instruction, Hong Jin built a temporary army of 2000 people in just one day, which is very efficient.Presumably, if it weren't for the fact that there were not many people of the right age in Beidai City, he might have formed a larger army.

The team of nearly 6 people stopped and went all the way, and went from Beidai City to Hanoi City, the capital of Cochin, without any anxiety.Yang Chendong was in the middle of the team, riding on a strong white horse, holding a handful of freshly delivered bullets in his hand, looking intently thinking.

These bullets were randomly selected by Humang from the thousands of boxes of bullets shipped.The moment he put it into Yang Chendong's hands, his expression became much more serious.

Bullets, Yang Chendong had dealt with them for many years in his previous life.From the moment the recruit joined the army, and during the process of retiring to the second line due to physical and age reasons to the Military Supply Headquarters, there were tens of thousands of bullets shot through his hands.

Regarding the shape of various bullets, he didn't even need to open his eyes to see them, he just knew what kind of firearm it was equipped with and what caliber it was just by touching it with his hand.It was precisely because of such a thorough understanding that when he received these new bullets from the Chixiancheng Arsenal, he felt a little heavy.

Although there are various books and finished bullets produced by Yang Chendong, after all, the time is 500 years ahead of schedule, and various technologies can't keep up at all, so that the process of manufacturing bullets today is all manual, which also makes the bullets produced The shapes are not exactly the same, and there are even many that are not qualified.

Just like the one held by Yang Chendong, there are only a dozen rounds that are indeed divided into several specifications, including the 762mm bullets of the Bayi Bar and the 588mm bullets of the [-]th Type.Although the bullets of these two specifications look roughly the same as the bullets used before, they are actually slightly different in shape and weight.

It was these differences that caused Yang Chendong a headache.Firearms are not a joke in the first place, and even for a sharpshooter, it takes time to get used to a new gun, because even the guns produced under the mechanized assembly line are often different.Not to mention that the bullets of these guns are all artificial.

Yang Chendong has seen the [-] newly shipped Bayi Bars and the [-] newly shipped Nine Five Styles, and the differences are indeed not small.Now that the difference in bullets is so large, this will greatly reduce the accuracy of shooting bullets, which is what Yang Chendong is worried about.

The first and second batches produced better guns and cartridges.After all, they are all produced by skilled blacksmiths. Although there are some differences, the problem is not too big. The accuracy rate on the battlefield can still reach about [-]%.However, due to the increase in demand in the front and the continuous expansion of the arsenal in the rear, most of the new recruits are inexperienced, and the specifications of the products produced will naturally be much worse.

Yesterday at the temporary shooting range in Beidai City, Yang Chendong personally tried it. With his strength, the bullets he fired were only [-]% hit rate. After continuous shooting corrections, they finally reached more than [-]% hit rate.It is conceivable that after equipping those ordinary auxiliary soldiers, it is very good that their accuracy rate can reach [-] achievements.

This is the case with underdeveloped technology, and Yang Chendong also knows that some things cannot be forced.Now he can only hope that the soldiers in the army can adapt to the new guns and bullets as soon as possible, instead of letting these things adapt to them.

Yang Chendong, who was riding on a horse with his eyes slightly squinted, opened his eyes suddenly, and said to Humang who was also riding a horse standing on one side: "Inform the army, don't rush on the road too much. Set aside an hour each morning and afternoon. Target."

"Target?" Humang on the side was confused after hearing this.He really wanted to say that shooting a target is a waste of bullets, and even the damage to the gun is not small.But since it was the young master's order, he of course carried it out unconditionally, so he nodded, then turned around and rode his horse to inform.

Why didn't Yang Chendong know about these disadvantages?But if the soldiers are not allowed to fully adapt to the guns and ammunition, when they actually go to the battlefield and face the enemy's charge, the muskets in their hands will not be accurate. Once the enemy really rushes in front of them, the loss will be called a big one.

After all, muskets are also dead objects. Now that they are more worn out, they can kill more enemies on the battlefield, have more accuracy, and kill fewer soldiers. It is worthwhile no matter how you look at it.Through target shooting training, soldiers can be more compatible with the gun with a unique number in their hands, which is the only thing Yang Chendong can do for the soldiers.

Not long after the order was issued.The army stopped, and nearly [-] young people in Chixian City began to light fires and cook. There were bursts of gunshots not far away, and the target training began.

The deafening and endless gunshots also changed the spirit of the two thousand cochin mercenaries whose military discipline was still somewhat lax. At this time, Hong Jin's words finally became more powerful, and more people knew what it meant to be obey orders.

Under the city of Hanoi.

Before midnight, seven battalions of mercenaries arrived five miles outside the city.And quickly set up a military tent here, except for the soldiers of the two companies who were in charge of vigilance and on duty, the other soldiers entered a state of sleep and rest after eating.Everyone knew that when it was dawn, there might be a big battle waiting for them.

Chapter 5 Undercurrents before the war (additional chapters)

The soldiers all rested, but Kong Quanxin, the battalion commander, did not go to rest. He called his four company commanders and six other auxiliary battalion commanders to have a meeting around a lit bonfire.

Since leaving Beidai City, Kong Quanxin's excitement has never stopped.This is the first battle against Hanoi City, the capital of the Cochin Kingdom, and now it is in his hands, which is enough to prove that the Sixth Young Master values ​​him. This is also the first time a mercenary has fought against an enemy's capital, and it will definitely be included in the annals of history. Go, and as the commander who commanded this battle, he will inevitably be remembered in the history of the development of mercenaries.

But whether the record this time is good or not depends on the performance tomorrow morning.All the officers were called to discuss together.

Even though there were seven people who came together, including the battalion commander and himself, in fact there were still high and low.Just like Kong Quanxin, the Leng Feng Battalion Commander, has the highest natural position and power. He is equivalent to a Type A battalion commander, and the auxiliary battalion is equivalent to a Type B battalion. Temporary auxiliary soldiers can only be third-line troops and become Type C battalions. up.

So at the beginning of the meeting, the initiative was in the hands of Kong Quanxin. He didn't even ask the other six battalion commanders what they meant, but first set his sights on the third battalion one on the far left. Lian Lianchang Tiance's body.

If Leng Feng's third battalion is the main attack company, then the company commander of this company under him is the best main force company of the third battalion.At least the destructive power and military strength of this company alone is far stronger than that of an auxiliary battalion, and it is more than three or four times higher than that of temporary auxiliary soldiers.

"First company commander, how about your main attack in the first battle tomorrow?" Kong Quanxin asked directly without too much politeness.

"Thank you for your trust, Battalion Commander, and promise to complete the task." Tiance stood up excitedly, his face glowing red with excitement.

This naturally caused some dissatisfaction among the other three company commanders of Leng Feng's [-]rd Battalion.But there is no way, no one told me that it was the commander of the first company. In the previous small competitions held in the battalion, the first company has always been the best company, and it is the best in all aspects. This has also been recognized by everyone.Considering the importance of tomorrow's battle, although there is still some jealousy in my heart, the three company commanders did not say anything at this time.

It is a good thing to be unconvinced with each other and have a certain degree of competition.But if due to this reason internal fighting forms and ultimately affects the overall combat power of the entire third battalion, that would be a big deal.The result of the handling is also very straightforward, whoever fights among themselves will leave. It is said that because of this reason, since the establishment of Leng Feng, four company-level cadres have been taken down because of this reason, and they are all reported to the Sixth Young Master for approval. .

The four company commanders who originally had a bright future developed into secret tricks just because they wanted to make more achievements. They were later investigated by political workers and reported to the Sixth Young Master. The four were directly dismissed and thrown into the The factories in Chixian City are kept for inspection. If the performance is not good, then they will be sent to farm in the end. Then there is really no future.

The sixth young master has said more than once that it is hard to find three-legged toads, but there are plenty of people with two legs.Especially in the cold front, there are too many heroes and heroes, but everyone will still turn around if there is no one.If anyone still dares to have such thoughts and wants to challenge his bottom line, then he can give it a try.

After the incident of the four company commanders, the relationship between the officers and officers was much better.Normal competition still exists, which is also encouraged by the above, but if anyone does whatever it takes to win, there is really no such thing as fighting each other.Maybe I still have such an idea in my heart, but I absolutely dare not do it again.

Besides, after Tiance was named by Battalion Commander Kong Quanxin, his face was filled with excitement.Kong Quanxin was also very satisfied with the other party's morale, nodded and said: "Okay, tomorrow morning we will see your company's performance. The other battalions will cooperate well with you. But there is an ugly word ahead, if your performance is not good, you will not be able to reach the usual training The average level, then the battalion commander has the power to replace you at any time, so don't come to me to complain and report your grievances at that time."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission." After saying this, Tiance scratched his head in embarrassment. Apparently, it was not the first time that such a thing of showing embarrassment to the superior officer after failing to grab the main attack mission happened.

Kong Quanxin decided on the main attack task so quickly, and the auxiliary battalion commanders and temporary auxiliary battalion commanders were all envious.

But I can only envy him in my heart, Leng Feng's strength is there.The same bullets that are issued later, the target rate of others can reach as much as [-] to [-]%, but the average target rate of temporary auxiliary soldiers is only [-]%. Under this huge difference, even if people are not convinced, they must be convinced up.

The main offensive task was arranged, and then the auxiliary offensive task was assigned. Regarding this point, there was a military plan before Beidaicheng was set out, but now it is just repeating it.It is precisely because of the plan that the pre-war meeting this time was held in an orderly manner.

Compared with the calmness of the mercenaries outside the city, the Cochin soldiers in Hanoi were taken aback by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

The general guarding the city tower reported the discovery of the mercenaries upwards, and when it reached the ears of the crown prince Li Yuanlong in the palace, he was shocked. His first sentence was, "How could these mercenaries move so fast? They Did it fall from the sky?"

No wonder Li Yuanlong sighed so much. The distance from Beidai City to Hanoi City is nearly two hundred miles. According to the marching speed of the Cochin Army, it usually takes about three days, and if it is slow, it takes four to five days. It is possible.But in less than a day, the mercenary ran the entire distance, and the strength of their feet alone was impressive.

All the generals in the city were also called to the main hall of the palace. After hearing the news, they were all astonished.Just like the last time Huang Hua led the army to attack Beidai City, he had tried his best, but it still took two and a half days for the five thousand troops to arrive at Beidai City.Compared with this, isn't his marching speed no different from that of a snail?

Fortunately, this topic passed by in a flash, and the first thing everyone gathered was to think about what to do next.

It turned out that the plan that was discussed was to go out of the city tomorrow to line up troops to prepare for the battle.But now it seems that doing so is somewhat inappropriate.Prince Li Yuanlong then set his sights on General Ruan Gengwang, after all, the first battle of the previous plan was entrusted to this person.

Ruan Gengwang's troops had made great contributions in joining forces with King Min to fight in the borders of the Southern Ming Dynasty.When the troops were dispatched, there were only 5 horses, but later it grew to 10, and nearly [-] captured Han people and various gold and silver treasures were sent back. At that time, he could be said to be in the limelight.
