Back in the palace, Li Yi played with the folding fan, and the sad look on his face could not be relieved. It had to be said that the shocking news he got tonight was simply fatal.
This is an unprecedented challenge!
Ten days later, King Fu went to Beijing to marry An Zhiyi, and the wedding day was the day he wanted to start trouble.
And although he has the Imperial Army, the Beijing Camp, and the four-city soldiers and horses under his command, there are also 100,000 new troops. The number is not large, but almost all of them are new soldiers. How can they be the opponents of the arrogant soldiers and generals under the traitor Zhu Chongyuan.
They are all veterans of hundreds of battles, and it is easy for one to defeat a hundred.
What should I do?
In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are a joke.
For the current plan, first, to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the new army, then the only way is to use the training methods of his previous life, coupled with Lumu's new firearms, maybe it will still be able to fight.
The second is to strike first, plan in advance, and be prepared to deal with King Fu.
Third, we should cut off his hands and feet, cut off his escape route, and pull out the nails he left in the capital before King Fu came.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yi suddenly raised his head and said, "Here comes someone!"
Cao Qingyan quickly approached, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Then, Li Yi whispered a few words in his ear, and Cao Qingyan nodded repeatedly and left quickly.
Starting today, there are strange faces at the entrance of the Yan family's mansion, in the four cities of the capital, and in the streets and alleys.
The next morning.
Li Yi, dressed in a black robe, took Cao Qingyan with him and flew straight to the new army camp outside the capital city.
Before that, he handed over the military training method of his previous life to Su Changyu and the four of them, and strictly ordered them to use this method to train troops for three months.
Today is the time to test the results.
Just as he was about to reach the military camp, he happened to encounter Suo Yi giving a lecture. When he saw Li Yi coming, he hurriedly led his generals to meet him.
"My lord, Suoyi, pays homage to your majesty. Long live your majesty!"
"Get up!"
Li Yi raised his hand and said.
His eyes were always on these new troops. Although these new troops were just recruited farm men, they were full of energy and already looked like elites.
The new army is divided into four battalions, this is one of them, and the commander is Suoyi.
Li Yi glanced around and suddenly said: "Suoyi."
"I'm here!"
"I heard that among the four battalions, your battalion is the weakest?"
"What?"
Suo Yi suddenly raised his head, his expression stagnant, and he was immediately dissatisfied. Just because it was Li Yi who said it, he did not dare to say anything, and his speech was still very respectful, "Your Majesty, who said this?"
"Don't worry about who said it. I'm just a little confused. With your martial arts skills, even Su Changyu and the three of them combined are no match for you?"
"Why are your men so weak?"
This time, not only Suoyi looked ugly, but also the soldiers under his command showed dissatisfaction.
Li Yi was obviously trying to sow discord and let the four battalions compete with each other and compete with each other.
This was also the method he was best at in his previous life.
There is absolutely no humility in the army. If there were, the army would be doomed.
In the military, there are those who are hard-blooded, obedient and competitive.
Awesome, drinking from a big bowl, eating a lot of meat, and taking a lot of money.
A waste, not enough to eat, not warm enough to wear, and even beaten!
To put it simply, Suoyi was brave and good at fighting, with unparalleled archery skills. He was a good candidate for leading troops in wars, but his style was too lazy, which made the officers and soldiers in the camp look lax.
Li Yi was determined to treat him well this time. Coupled with his bad temper that refused to admit defeat, he would not accept it without resorting to any means.
"Your Majesty, all the men under my command dare to charge and fight. When they go to the battlefield, they are like wolf cubs. If you say they can't do it, don't say I don't accept it, they don't accept it either!"
Suoyi turned around and shouted, "Are you convinced?"
"Not convinced!"
"Not convinced!!"
"I'm not convinced!!!"
Suo Yi stood up proudly, "Your Majesty, none of my subordinates dare to say that I am the best in the world, but if I say that I am the first, no one will dare to say that I am the second!"
Suo Yi also heard that Su Changyu and Yuan Jianfan were training troops using His Majesty's new method recently.
But he refused to accept it and never used it. In his words, such military training was nonsense and useless!
Looking at ancient and modern times, which military book introduced such military training?
He knew this was what Li Yi meant, so he just complained silently in his heart.
Because of this, he had long wanted to find an opportunity to compete with Su Changyu and Yuan Jianfan to see whose training method was more powerful.
Li Yi suddenly smiled and said, "I will go to Su Changyu's military camp soon, how about we go together?"
"Promise, I obey!"
Not to mention that Suoyi was rough and subtle, he immediately arranged for his elite soldiers to go together.
Everyone in this pro-army group is a seventh-grade martial arts master or above, and they all have good archery skills.
The basic operation is to pierce the Yang with a hundred steps.
After Li Yi learned about it, he made a suggestion to Suo Yi, asking his pro-army troops to serve as a commando on the battlefield, riding through the front lines of the battlefield, mainly to assassinate enemy generals.
That is, the sniper of later generations.
This Gale Dynasty should be the first to include "snipers" as a military component so far.
at this time.
In Su Changyu's military camp, the soldiers were naked to the waist, facing the scorching sun, carrying long logs on their backs, shouting slogans, and running around the military camp.
"One...two...one, one, two, one..."
This sound filled the air above the military camp and lingered for a long time.
As soon as Li Yi, Suo Yi, and Cao Qingyan arrived at the gate of the military camp, Suo Yi was shocked and his expression became very heavy.
Just by hearing this chant, he knew that the soldiers in Su Changyu's camp were extraordinary.
When fighting, momentum comes first.
Why is it said that an army with more veterans has the strongest combat effectiveness?
The difference between veterans and new recruits is their momentum.
In a battle involving tens of thousands of people, martial arts and moves are actually not that important.
Facing the densely packed spears, the veterans would press their feet, move forward with momentum, while the new recruits might shrink back in fear, causing the entire army to collapse.
To put it simply, the chants in Su Changyu's military camp were extremely powerful and full of murderous aura.
Suoyi had not yet entered the camp, but this momentum alone made him tremble.
The same is true for Li Yi. Listening to the familiar chants, his thoughts kept repeating, as if he had returned to the familiar military camp.
If it weren't for the soldiers guarding the gate wearing armor and holding spears, he would have thought he was back again.
Entering the military camp, each phalanx marched in uniform steps and shouted loud slogans. The ground was filled with dust and the momentum was huge.
at this time.
In front of an open space, Su Changyu was discussing something with several people dressed as craftsmen. There were several firearms placed on the papers in front of him.
When everyone saw Li Yi's sudden visit, they hurriedly put down their work and ran to greet him.
"Your Majesty, Su Changyu, pays homage to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, but I missed you from afar. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"Get up, I just want to see how the new army is doing in training?" Li Yi couldn't sleep every night these days. He saw that the wedding day of King Fu was getting closer and closer, and what would follow would definitely be an unprecedented battle.
When the time comes, we will count on these new troops.
Therefore, he came to the military camp to inspect the situation in a hurry.
The new army under Su Changyu is the central army of the three armies. It has a pivotal position and is also the army that Li Yi values most.
As long as this army is trained, half of the war will be won.
All the cavalry in Su Changyu's camp were given priority to his camp after Zhao Huaijin brought 10,000 horses. The horses of Ning Wu's armored cavalry, including iron armor and horse armor, were also given to him.
This shows how much Li Yi attaches importance to this army.
When he saw the firearm on the document, Li Yi's expression changed, "This is..."
"Is this a carbine?"
That’s right!
This is the carbine.
The gun body was sawn short, compact and compact, and easy to carry. It was the standard equipment of later generations of European cavalry.
But now, the Gale Dynasty already exists.
Su Changyu, Suo Yi and the craftsmen all looked confused. What is a carbine?
Seeing that Li Yi was very interested, Su Changyu quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this is a new type of firearm, designed by me for the cavalry."
"To be honest with you, your Majesty, the tens of thousands of cavalry under my command are all mounted infantry. Although they can already charge on horseback, it is impossible to shoot arrows on horseback in a short period of time."
"In desperation, I had no choice but to use new firearms instead. It turned out that the combination of firearms and cavalry worked surprisingly well. I also sawed off the firearms to make them easier to carry."
Li Yi looked surprised, holding the sawed-off firearm, his eyes almost wet.
Oh my God!
Is this a carbine, and a dragoon?
It was a product that only appeared in modern Europe in later generations, and it existed in the feudal dynasty of the Gale Dynasty.
I'm going to have dragoons.
Seeing Li Yi's appearance, others did not dare to dissuade him, so they had to stand aside stupidly.
"good very good!"
"Pass my decree and tell Lu Mu to immediately make a sample of this short firearm and speed up the production. I will have one cavalry man under my command!"
"In addition, for Su Changyu's great achievements, he will be rewarded with a reward of one thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver!"
At this time, everyone present was stunned.
Su Changyu himself was stunned.
What great achievement?
What's the big deal?
After a brief silence, Suo Yi was the first to be unhappy, "In cavalry combat, firearms are only auxiliary, and strong bows and crossbows are the highlight!"
