Become a feudal king from today

"prick!"

"prick!"

"..."

It was a sunny day and the soldiers of the Royal Palace were practicing bayonet skills at the Peking University Camp. read

At this time, they held wooden sticks with cloth wrapped at the ends and thrust them out according to the orders, either downward, upward, right or left.

Every time they stabbed out, the soldiers used all their strength, and their bodies were like full-stretched hard bows.

"In addition to following orders and training, soldiers also have one-on-one sparring training." Chang Wei said to Zhao Xu in front of him.

"Just practice like this. It won't be long before the bayonet technique will come in handy," Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei nodded solemnly. He and King Yan had the same judgment.

Xiliang has now essentially become a vassal of Beidi, and Beidi is building artillery again.

The Black Iron King's tent attacked Yan County again.

These signs all mean that a war of unprecedented scale is about to come. The question is just when Beidi will choose to attack Song south with Xiliang.

And by then, not only Yanzhou, but Dasong will also face a crisis of destruction.

"Yes, Your Highness, the general has already warned the generals, telling them not to relax and to be vigilant at all times." Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu turned his attention to the north.

Although he has been busy with various development matters in the four northern counties during this period, he has never forgotten the two alien races in the north and northwest.

He was worried but also somewhat looking forward to the inevitable war.

In his opinion, his war with Xiliang and Beidi was inevitable.

In this case, it is necessary to completely defeat them in this war, so as to reverse their long-standing defensive posture and switch from defense to offense.

"The bright moon of the Qin Dynasty passed the Han Dynasty, and the people who marched thousands of miles have not yet returned. But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and they will not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains." Thinking of this, Zhao Xu said softly.

Now that he has come to this world, he will never tolerate the alien cavalry trampling on his territory.

Nor will the Western powers of this world be allowed to set up cannons at their doorsteps to bombard the country.

"Your Highness, what kind of poem is this? It's even majestic." Zhou Yi suddenly asked at this time.

Yesterday, King Yan handed over the school to him, and today he brought him to Beida camp to see Chang Wei.

Let him cooperate with Chang Wei to complete the recruitment and three months of training of naval soldiers.

"This is a poem written by an ancient country during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty had come to an end, and there was also a powerful enemy called the Khitan in the north."

"Khitan? Why haven't you heard of this before? What are the Qin and Han in this poem?" Chang Wei looked confused.

Zhao Xu didn't expect that his casual poem expressing emotions would arouse so many questions.

He could only take a careless look and said: "I only read it from an ancient book."

Chang Wei and Zhou Yi looked at each other and stopped asking.

When he and the two of them came to a willow tree beside the school field, Zhao Xu changed the subject, "Although one of you is in charge of the infantry and the other is in charge of the navy, it doesn't mean that you will close your doors and take care of yourself from now on. Normally, We still need to communicate more.”

They both nodded at the same time.

Unfolding the paper fan to fan himself, Zhao Xu remembered something and asked Chang Wei: "Have all the soldiers in the carriage camp been recruited?"

"Not yet." Chang Wei scratched his head, "Because we haven't seen the chariot yet, the general put the recruitment of the chariot camp last."

Zhao Xu did not blame Chang Wei. So far he has not asked the military commander to build a chariot. "Although there is no rush, we still have to recruit. In two days, I will ask the military commander to build a chariot."

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled and overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, and also pursued the Yuan Dynasty.

What he relies on is a piece of equipment - the wheelbarrow.

This kind of vehicle is actually an independent vehicle for transporting grain and grass. It has a wooden board on the front and several spears fixed on the wooden board.

This forms a small fortress like a hedgehog.

In the early days, Ming army soldiers pushed this independent charge car into the Mongolian cavalry, restricting the mobility of the cavalry. The sword, shield, and spearmen who followed behind rushed over and hacked at random.

It can be seen that in the mounted archery of nomadic tribes, this kind of chariot that can defend against bows and arrows and limit the mobility of cavalry on the battlefield is very effective.

In the past, he only had to guard Yan Pass, so he had no plans to build a chariot.

However, the modern alliance between Xiliang and Beidi is equivalent to praising the northwest and opening up to Beidi at the same time.

If Beidi chooses to go south from the northwest, I'm afraid he will have to start from Qinguan to fight with the Beidi and Xiliang armies.

That's when this tank will come in handy.

Relying on the formation of chariots, flintlocks, and artillery on the battlefield, his army can turn into a fortress with powerful firepower at any time.

But the chariot he wants to build is not this kind of one-wheeled chariot.

After all, in his opinion, this one-wheeled chariot was a makeshift chariot that Zhu Yuanzhang made when he was in a very difficult time.

When fighting the Jurchen soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty, the chariots used were relatively luxurious.

Under the technical conditions of the four northern counties, combined with some contemporary experience, he can currently build even better tanks.

This chariot will have four wheels.

In this way, the chariot will be more stable. At the same time, the chariot is box-shaped. The upper cover is fixed to one side and can be lifted up to form a wall. There will also be a small window on the cover.

Fusiliers could shoot through these windows.

In order to enhance the hardness of the chariot, a layer of iron sheet will be nailed to the side of the tank box facing the enemy.

In this way, a chariot that can both transport grain and serve as a fortress appeared.

There will also be locks on these chariots, and each chariot can be connected with iron ropes.

During the war, chariots marched on both sides of the soldiers. When encountering the enemy, they immediately surrounded the city and connected them with iron ropes to protect the soldiers in the middle.

The soldiers then used flintlock muskets and artillery to attack the enemy.

While thinking about it, Zhao Xu picked up a branch and showed the chariot to Chang Wei.

Chang Wei stared intently, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Your Highness, this chariot general thinks it is unnecessary and will block the fusiliers' fire." Zhou Yi said.

"This chariot can also transport grain, grass and ammunition. It has a cover to prevent rain. Furthermore, if the enemy's infantry rushes over, it will be difficult for them to climb." Chang Wei explained to him.

After all, Zhou Yi had never fought in a war and didn't understand many things.

Hearing what Chang Wei said, Zhou Yi suddenly understood and nodded.

Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei at this time: "If you have any other suggestions, this chariot is built like this. When fighting, horses will pull it, and the march will not be delayed."

"Hey, I don't have any other suggestions. I just want the Bingzhangsi to be built as soon as possible, so that even if we encounter the Beidi people on the grassland, we won't be afraid." Chang Wei became excited.

To him, this chariot was very reasonably designed and was really a weapon specially designed to deal with cavalry.

Zhao Xu smiled softly.

In fact, this kind of tank is equivalent to the most primitive tank. Not only can it move, but soldiers can also shoot outwards if they stand in the tank.

Like Chang Wei, he also expected this tank to play an important role on the battlefield.
