Great Song Pirate

Chapter 472
"You continue to strengthen your drills, and at the same time, you must also pay attention to the modification of the ships carrying the infantry to ensure the life of the brothers on board. This time, the voyage will be farther and the time may be longer. The brothers must not suffer too much. Big grievances, in addition to participating in the joint training of the fleet, the key point is to practice the tactics of forced landing, try to minimize our losses, and Jilongzhai has newly built a batch of light Leigong cannons for the infantry. This time has been transported here with the ship, you send people to receive it, step up the drill, and be sure to be ready to go at any time!" Xu Yi explained to Yang Zaixing and his infantry leaders.

The infantry leaders headed by Yang Zaixing immediately stood up to receive the order, and expressed their gratitude to Xu Yi for his concern. Gao Jun was the most excited. Now the artillery of the infantry can be increased, and he can finally board the ship and go out to do things. !
"Yang Ci is here today! How are the wounded from our last southern expedition? What have you been doing during this time?" Xu Yi suddenly saw Yang Ci sitting in the back, so he pointed at him, Ask him to come out and ask questions.

After going through the Southern Expedition, Yang Ci has obviously matured a lot, his face has been tanned a lot, and he has grown a short beard. He is already considered an adult. After hearing Xu Yi's question, he immediately stood up and answered: "Reporting to my lord, our wounded have basically healed, and the brothers who were slightly injured have already returned to the army. Some brothers with disabilities can no longer join the army, so they were handed over to Mr. Gao for placement. Please rest assured, my lord! We are rushing to produce various wound medicines and preparing bandages and other equipment, and at the same time continue to train the brothers in the medical battalion, and we are ready to go out at any time!"

Xu Yi nodded. It seems that everyone has moved and there is no emotion of war weariness. This is good, and the morale is good!After waving Yang Ci back to his seat, Xu Yi asked Gao Xu again: "The arrangements for the disabled brothers cannot be ignored. For the brothers who are not able to take care of themselves, we should arrange maids to serve them. We cannot let them suffer because of being disabled. For those who can take care of themselves And the brothers who are still willing to do things try to arrange what they want to do, don't treat them badly!" The fundamental purpose of Xu Yi's doing this is morale, and he must reassure the brothers in the army. Life will also be settled, and the soldiers dare to fight with their lives on the battlefield. They are not yet a country, so it is impossible to make their subordinates patriotic, but at least they must have a sense of belonging. This is also a way to buy people's hearts.

Xu Yi's simple explanation immediately won the unanimous support of the generals present. My lord has been thinking about these things all the time. What can soldiers like me say?Gao Xu immediately replied: "The humble position has been properly arranged. Many of these brothers are willing to stay in the army with minor disabilities. After the humble position discussed with Commander Yang and Commander Sun, they were placed in the barracks. Serve as the instructor or in charge of the warehouse, etc., and give them a full-time life of Japanese women to serve them! Please rest assured, my lord!"

"Gong Zhen! How is your shipyard going?" Xu Yi turned to Gong Zhen and asked him.

"Reporting to my lord, the humble ship yard has been busy working overtime during this period. Most of the ships have been overhauled, refitted and painted, and some of the ships' riggings have been replaced. The things are being cleaned up by the water ghost brothers of the navy. The next step is to refit a batch of large square boats for the infantry, and also modify a few horse boats. For this, I would like to thank Chang Le for his help, if he hadn't sent If a large number of carpenters come to the shipyard to help, the humble job really can't do it so fast!

In addition, several boats on the berth have been built by craftsmen in our shipyard, and it is estimated that they can be painted and launched in a short time. Please rest assured, my lord, I guarantee that all the boats will be refurbished before you go out. Make sure the boats are safe, brothers! " Gong Zhen also stood up and replied.

With these people busy throughout the night, Xu Yi is very satisfied with the preparations during this period. At present, it seems that as soon as Kong Qingxi and Diao Bin's fleet arrives here and is reorganized, they can send troops!So Xu Yi explained the details of what everyone should think about, and then waved everyone to dismiss and went to work.

In the next two days, Xu Yi was not idle, running around to check the preparations in various places. There was nothing to worry about in the fleet. After the Annan battle, the generals in the fleet They have become old fritters. The key is a problem of coordination and command. In this regard, they have two superior methods of lamp language and semaphore. In addition, the most commonly used drums and horns in this era are subsidized. Big problems will arise.

The key is in the infantry. If they go out this time, most of the infantry will be new troops, and this time they may face a landing battle and a field battle. After the drill of the infantry, I also let go of this heart. After all the veterans who had gone through the Battle of Annan were enriched into the new army, the newly formed Habayashi Army really increased in combat power. On average, one veteran led three recruits. In addition, these new recruits are also carefully selected and strong men. Under the command of Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun, they are as commanding as arms, defending like a rock, attacking like a tiger, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and the army has spears like forests. The swords and shields are like a wall, and the mutual coordination is not chaotic at all. The military discipline is strict and the formation is neat and orderly. Xu Yi, who is half way out of the family, marvels at the leader of the army. He secretly admires the ability of Yang Zaixing and others to lead the army.

Xiao Jianfeng was the commander of the cavalry, and he led the cavalry to the two wings of the central army. Each of them had a ferocious aura, and his body was filled with the inherent toughness of the Khitan people. Although he joined the Fubo Army not long ago, these people But they are all brave men who have fought against the Jinren with real knives and guns before. Everyone's hands are stained with the blood of the Jurchens, and they are not newcomers at all. Compared with those infantry, these Khitan cavalry Not bad at all, but even more fierce.

After watching the drill of the infantry, Xu Yi, a layman, couldn't find anything wrong with him, so he could only nod his head and let them continue. It doesn't matter if the leader doesn't understand. Commander, Xu Yi won't make this mistake!

Why did the Song army always lose again and again when they met foreign armies?It is because most of their commanders are civil servants, and when they have nothing to do, they point fingers at the generals below, restricting the generals everywhere, so that they cannot develop what they can. , many times I can only watch the great fighter planes slipping away in front of my eyes. As a result, when the battle is defeated, many civil officials pack up their bags and flee first, leaving a loose army to be slaughtered. It is really strange not to lose the battle!

Although Xu Yi did not interfere with the drills of Yang Zaixing and his generals, he still found Yang Zaixing and his generals, and told them what he knew about the Japanese. In this era, a group of full-time soldiers have begun to appear. Although they are short, their combat effectiveness is not weak at all. Most of them are private soldiers of local lords, and they are very loyal. Fortunately, bushido has not yet appeared at this time, otherwise If so, the little devil will be even more fierce.

In terms of martial arts, the martial arts of Japanese warriors were passed down from China, but they were refined by them to form their own unique style. Many warriors practiced martial arts hard since they were young, killing people without blinking an eye, in order to rely on force to get ahead, so Many samurai warriors of the Japanese kingdom have a high level of personal cultivation. If you meet them, you should not underestimate them. You must know that when the Japanese pirates invaded the coast of China in later generations, the Ming army suffered a lot from them at first!Later, it was Qi Jiguang who came up with the method of the three talents to drive these Japanese pirates out of the coast of China!Of course, Xu Yi would not tell everyone about this history, but only emphasized that the personal cultivation of warriors should not be underestimated.

Then there is the issue of the Japanese samurai swords. The Japanese samurai swords were originally learned from the Tang swords of the Han people. Both the shape and the crafting skills were learned from the Tang Dynasty. This kind of Japanese sword has a straight blade and can be held with both hands. It is very suitable for chopping and cutting, and the blade is extremely sharp. This can be seen from the Japanese swords captured before. Even the hand sword used by the Fubo army is not necessarily much better than the Japanese sword, because the hand sword is a one-handed sword, and the Japanese sword is held with two hands. When fighting, it will suffer a lot in terms of strength. Small, so when fighting hand-to-hand, it is necessary to make the spearmen and swordsmen cooperate closely with each other in order to defeat the enemy and win the battle.

After Xu Yi told the generals what he knew, he ordered people to find some Japanese swords that he had collected before, and handed them over to Yang Zaixing and others, and ordered people to find the Japanese slaves who used to be warriors. After these Japanese slaves showed their sword skills with these Japanese swords, they also attracted the attention of Yang Zaixing and others. After thanking Xu Yi, they began to study the sword skills. How to deal with the Japanese samurai problem went.

Xu Yi even got a few wolf whisks created by Qi Jiguang and gave them to try out, and told Yang Zaixing and others about the mandarin duck array created by Qi Jiguang. Carefully selected elite soldiers, but after all, most of these people were born with hoes when they were young. Even after a period of practice, compared with those who have been killing people since childhood, they don’t know anything except practicing knives every day. Why are the Japanese warriors still a little weaker? He doesn't want these soldiers to suffer a big loss when they go into battle against the Japanese warriors because of the carelessness of himself and the generals. It doesn't matter how many Japanese warriors they kill. Don't be killed by the Japanese!This is an issue involving pensions, so don't be careless!
