Valley Emperor

The development of technology will bring about the development of weapons and equipment, and the development of weapons and equipment will bring about tactical changes.

When the tactics on the battlefield have changed, the replacement of arms has become natural!

In today's Ming Army and the early Datang New Army, the heavy-armored sword and shield soldiers with very important status, in the current Datang New Army, its development has come to an end!

It's not that Butcher Chen and the others are not brave enough, it's not that the fighting ability of the heavy armored sword and shield soldiers is not strong enough, but the particularity of the arms has limited their further development, and their tactical positioning in the field is already the musketeers and spearmen. replaced.

This situation is even more so after Li Xuan decided to equip some front row spearmen with armor!

The heavily armored spearmen in armor, in the field charge, their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the armored sword and shield soldiers.

At the same time, there is a problem of training cost. The training of spearmen is simpler, so it is easier to form an army!

As for the sword and shield soldier, if you want to be qualified for the long sword and shield in your hand, you have to practice for many years.

Butcher Chen and the others with swords and shields were a little worried about their future status. Naturally, these things were not within Li Xuan's consideration.

In fact, if you let him know Tufu Chen's worries, he will tell Tufu Chen directly: Change careers as soon as possible!

Not to mention the future, even now, there are only two main arms of the Datang New Army, one is the musketeer and the other is the spearman.

After waiting for a while, and after he came up with some flintlock guns, Lao Tzu completely threw away the spearmen, and the infantry only used musketeers.

It's a pity that Butcher Chen didn't ask, and naturally he didn't know Li Xuan's plans for the new army of the Tang Dynasty in the future!

Butcher Chen can only continue to struggle!

After cleaning the battlefield, Zeng Ziwen found Li Xuan and briefly reported the results. In this battle, the casualties of the Tang Dynasty's new army were almost negligible, because they defeated the Ming army by relying on long-range firepower. The army's arrows hit, causing one death and three injuries.

However, their results were huge. They almost wiped out more than 150 frontmen of the Ming army. Among them, only 100 were captured as prisoners, and about 50 were killed or injured. The Ming army who really escaped Soldiers are under single digits.

Unfortunately, the few Ming soldiers who escaped successfully did not include Wen Dashan, who escaped first. He was quite unlucky to become one of the prisoners of the Ming army.

It's not that he escaped slower than his comrades in arms, but that more than a thousand people of the Datang New Army had already surrounded them, and it was almost impossible for them to break out of the encirclement.

Therefore, when the soldiers of the Datang New Army caught up, he fell down quite decisively and shouted: "Xiao is willing to surrender!"

This saves lives!

When his hands were tied and he was walking in line with the other captured brothers, Wen Dashan lowered his head and pretended to be docile, so as not to be beaten by the guards of the pseudo-Tang bandit army who thought he was dishonest. .

However, he has been secretly aiming at the pseudo-Tang thieves next to him.

The ones who watched the most were the fake Tang thieves guarding them. The reason why they watched more was because these fake Tang thieves were the gunmen who made many adults tremble with fear.

They wore tops and trousers, which were no different from ordinary farmers, but there were several cloth bags tied around their waists, and they didn't know what was inside.

There is also a strange-looking knife hanging around his waist. This knife is only one foot long. It doesn't look like a waist knife or a decapitation knife. It's very strange.

But these are all normal. What really attracts attention is the fire gun they are carrying!

The fire guns of the pseudo-Tang bandit army are sharp. This is already known by many people in Zhengtai County, even in Fucheng. Everyone also knows that the fire guns of the pseudo-Tang bandit army are thin and long, and those in the Ming army. Firearms are completely different.

Of course, what impressed them even more was that the lead bullets shot by the fire guns of these pseudo-Tang thieves were far and ruthless, even if they were wearing armor, they would punch a hole.

Looking at these fire guns that have been talked about by many people now, Wen Dashan is very curious, and really wants to take this fire gun in his hand and take a closer look, and finally shoot such a shot with his own hands .

Wen Dashan, who has this idea, is not saying that he wants to spy on the military secrets of fire guns, he is just curious, a soldier is curious about good weapons!

Even at this time, he was beginning to fantasize that if he had such a firearm, he would still show great power on the battlefield!

Wen Dashan was curious about the fire guns of the new Tang army. This is not a unique phenomenon, but a common phenomenon. Many Ming army prisoners, especially those low-level officers such as general flags and small flags, are more curious about those fire guns.

Among these prisoners, the highest-ranking Ming army officer, a deputy Qianhu even said to him, a pseudo-Tang bandit soldier who was guarding him: "Little brother, can you show me your fire gun, come, this Some money and you can take it for a drink!"

Perhaps in order to relieve the soldier's worries, he also took the initiative to say: "If you are worried, just take off the medicine and the knife, and I will just take a look at the fire gun!"

Unexpectedly, the soldier of the pseudo-Tang thief army showed a look of contempt: "What are you looking at, this gun is also something you can look at? Stand back, or I will be rude, sir!"

With contempt for this deputy Qianhu on his face, the soldier was still complaining in his heart: "I don't have any eyesight, the platoon leader who didn't see Lao Tzu was watching from behind Lao Tzu, and now you hand over money to Lao Tzu, that's hurting Lao Tzu. , if one is not good, he will eat a military stick!

If you want to give money, you have to give it when no one is watching! "

The various actions of the Ming army prisoners naturally fell in the eyes of Bai Yunqi, who was behind. He looked at it and said, "Most of these prisoners are recruits, and the quality of UU reading www.uukanshu.com is much better than the previous ones. many."

Huang Xueren on the side also said: "Brother Bai, you have had a great harvest this time. Our brothers are fighting all the time. You are good, you didn't do anything, and you picked up more than 100 people in vain!"

Bai Yunqi chuckled: "What do you mean by doing nothing, without our cargo battalion to transport food, weapons and ammunition for you, you don't talk about fighting, it would be good if you didn't starve to death!"

"And all of your infantry battalions are from good families. My baggage battalion is almost turned into a prisoner's camp. It's not like you don't know the quality of these Ming army prisoners. Before they were reformed, they were all useless!"

Huang Xueren continued to laugh: "But when it comes to this transformation, if I don't agree with others, I will obey you, brother Bai. Those Ming army prisoners can't be dealt with by anyone, and when you came out, all of them surrendered obediently. No one in the dynasty can match it!"

At this time, Bai Yunqi bowed his hands and bowed to the west: "This is all the credit of the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, Bai is just a strike!"

Hearing Bai Yunqi's words, Huang Xueren's eyes flashed a trace of contempt!
