Everyone's eyes were fixed on the shouting soldiers, watching them run all the way to the bottom of the city wall, then put up hooks and ladders to block the city wall, and then began to climb up! The hook ladder was instantly filled with soldiers! But the mortar had already stopped firing! The other artillery pieces had already moved their targets and started shooting at both sides of the ladder to provide cover!
So now, everyone knows that as long as the soldiers can climb this section of the city wall, it should be considered a victory!
Sure enough, as the first soldier climbed up the city, waving his weapons and shouting, Liu Haojia announced that the exercise was over!
Seeing the end of the exercise, the civil servant who felt sour was still unwilling to admit his failure! So one person whispered: "How can it be so easy to attack a city? Is it really possible to kill everyone on the city wall with a few cannons? Wouldn't they send troops from other places?"
Liu Haojia glanced at Zhang Juzheng, and actually saw a trace of embarrassment on his face that had never wavered! But seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he simply scolded you: "You idiot, you don't know how to do things yourself, so you just find trouble for the people who do it, so as to show that you are smarter than others! I want to ask you, who is attacking the city?" Will only five artillery pieces be used to attack the city? At that time, I may put in fifty or five hundred artillery pieces, which can blow up a whole city wall! Also, do you think the people defending the city are not afraid? Are they dead? A large number of explosive shells hit the city wall. When they saw the heavy casualties of their companions, their morale might have collapsed! But then again, you don’t understand anything, so who gave you the courage to show off here? of?"
Liu Haojia's words made this man blush! He wanted to refute, but he had no reason to refute, so he could only raise his head in embarrassment and ask for help! But the people around him refused to answer, and they all lowered their heads and didn't look at him!
At this time, Zhang Juzheng also understood that what Liu Haojia said was very correct! Apart from anything else, if the soldiers from the original Beijing camp were standing at the top of the city when this army attacked, he could be sure that as long as three explosive bombs exploded on the city wall, not a single one of them would be left alive! After all, no one can expect a group of craftsmen and servants to guard the city wall!
But Zhang Juzheng felt very depressed at this time! Because if we admit that the exercise was successful at this time, it would mean that the civilian side has failed and admitted that Liu Haojia has the ability to flip the table! Some things have to be done according to his ideas!
So he thought for a while and said: "Marquis Wu Ning, I heard that there are almost 60,000 people in this army, which means there are at least five battalion heads who have not shown up! How about we let them demonstrate it in front of Your Majesty? Your Majesty. ,What do you think?"
In fact, Zhang Juzheng didn't really want to see the exercise, nor did he want to see if Liu Haojia really had 60,000 soldiers? What he wanted to see was whether the remaining 50,000 people were really as elite as the 10,000 people in front of him? Maybe Liu Haojia used some trickery to get past the inspection and put the only team that could fight in front of him for a drill!
But Emperor Wanli didn't think about Zhang Juzheng's thoughts. He just thought that the more such a powerful army he had, the better! So he nodded happily and said: "Okay! Very good! This is a good idea! Liu Aiqing, quickly arrange for other troops to come and review it!"
Liu Haojia can guess what Zhang Juzheng is thinking, but he is not afraid of this! However, he still said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the area here is too small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate 60,000 people!"
Emperor Wanli's face fell when he heard this, and he said, "What should we do? I really want to see these new troops!"
Liu Haojia thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, how about this! You and your lords go back to the generals' stage in the school field! I asked all the soldiers to enter through the east gate and out through the west gate for a simple review! Then the rest Four battalion leaders are gathering outside and two are inside! This way Your Majesty can see all the soldiers!"
Emperor Wanli was overjoyed when he heard that he could see all the soldiers, so he naturally agreed immediately! Then Liu Haojia immediately sent an order to have all the troops come for the review! Moreover, he also adjusted the military formation on the campus, leaving almost half of the field empty, and should be able to accommodate another 10,000 people! As for the other battalion heads, they can only gather at the place where they just exercised!
The rest of the time for Emperor Wanli was just waiting, but they did not waste time, but were waiting with him.
The ministers were delighted
Discussing the drill just now. The nobles naturally wanted to curry favor with him and told him in great detail!
But the only ones who really know the situation of the battle are Liu Haojia and Qi Jiguang! In this exercise, Liu Haojia did not bring out all the good things, but hid a lot! Naturally, Qi Jiguang did not kill him. He deliberately released some water when directing the simulated cavalry attack!
He could see that although Liu Haojia had experience in commanding firearms troops, he still had some incompetence in his operations! And you can grow a lot with this exercise! So although the two of them didn't speak, they felt a little sympathetic to each other!
As for the civil servants, it’s very bad! They didn't get any benefits at all, and they were insulted by Liu Haojia one after another, and their ignorance was exposed! This further proves what Liu Haojia said, that civil and military forces should do their own thing! So they were all as honest as quails, fearing that Zhang Juzheng's dagger-like eyes would poke them!
Just when the atmosphere on the high platform was like a world of ice and fire, the noisy sounds of people and horses suddenly sounded outside the camp! Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the east gate. They knew that the soldiers from the brigade were about to arrive!
Zhang Juzheng especially glanced at the soldiers below and found that these soldiers who had been struggling all day were still standing there as motionless as nails! This made Zhang Juzheng feel cold from the inside out!
Not long after, the first team appeared from the east gate! The order of appearance is the same as in the first review, followed by night warriors, sword and shield soldiers, spear soldiers, fire gun soldiers and artillery soldiers! And what sent chills down Zhang Juzheng's spine was that all the soldiers who entered the west gate from the east gate behaved exactly like the 10,000 people in front of him! The queue is neat and tidy, and the movements are neat and tidy. There is never a time to stop to form a team! Instead, they maintained a neat queue from the east gate to the west gate!
After all the teams had been reviewed, he could see a large number of soldiers gathering on the plains in the distance with the help of his telescope! He knew that Liu Haojia really wasn't lying. He had indeed trained an elite army of 60,000 people! And judging from their appearance, they are quite sure to defeat all the troops in Beizhili! Even entering the capital is not difficult! The city walls that are still smoking are proof of this!
