Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 203 What does it mean to take the lead?
Li Chengdao thought to himself that today's firearms are still in the initial development stage. Although they have undergone some improvements led by themselves, they still cannot avoid the disadvantages of slow firing rate and short range. But a fatal flaw.

Thinking of this, Li Chengdao thought to himself, even so, if he can maintain this momentum, there are technical madmen like Gan Ning and foreigners. It will fall behind the whole world, and a most advanced and civilized country will not become an ignorant and backward race in the eyes of Westerners, allowing it to be bullied and suppressed.

Because on the one hand, driven by Li Chengdao, we started research and innovation on this military technology ahead of other countries. On the other hand, although there are many shortcomings, firearms are used in various terrains and in various situations today. In environmental combat, it still possesses far more power than swords and spears. This kind of power is simply not something that flesh and blood and personal martial arts can match.

Li Chengdao has naturally seen the power of today's cannons during many years of battle. Although it cannot be compared with modern weapons at all, but because the defense system of today's era is also weak, the lethality of cannonballs has been magnified instead, and the killing effect is not at all. Weaker than modern cannons.Coupled with a variety of firecracker grenades, it is enough to cause a lot of damage at the moment of confrontation between the two armies.

Today's Shenji Battalion shoulders the responsibility of guarding the capital. Although this kind of troops equipped with all firearms is not the best candidate for expeditionary warfare, it is the most effective help for regional defense and chaos.

But Li Chengdao's vision was far more than that. In order to conquer the Turks next year, the Shenji Battalion must be in Li Chengdao's hands and become the most elite army in the shortest possible time. Not only must it become a stormtrooper, but it must also become a teaching team!

The first step to improve the combat power of the Shenji Battalion is to carry out reforms. The original shooting method of the Shenji Battalion was too rigid. Li Chengdao taught the three-row battle and the three-stage marching shooting according to the current weapon configuration.

After a whole morning of empty-bore formation practice, the speed and density of shooting have increased by more than three times than before, and the combat power has been greatly improved.

The generals in the Shenji Battalion were originally skeptical of the new combat method proposed by His Royal Highness King Wu, but in just half a day, they saw that under the teaching of King Wu, his subordinate Erlang's shooting and fighting were modeled. It was so powerful, and he was immediately convinced by the young prince in front of him.

Lian Zhaoyang looked at Li Chengdao with awe and admiration in his eyes. In the eyes of all the generals, Li Chengdao is like a god.

At this time, Li Chengdao further clarified the reward and punishment promotion system in the army. Whether it is the Shenji Battalion, the Xiaoqi Battalion or the Iron Cavalry Battalion, it is the same, and it is treated equally. It strengthens the independent combat capabilities of the training teams, squadrons, and squads. Those who are outstanding and capable, whether they are soldiers or generals, can be promoted exceptionally.

The incompetent and incompetent low-level officers were dismissed on the spot, and the senior generals first admonished them. If there was still no improvement, they would report to them. After the resolution of the participating generals and the generals in charge, they would be demoted or dismissed.

Once the various policies to strengthen the army were announced, the morale of the three armies was immediately high. The soldiers who were originally lazy and slack were reborn, and they were all full of energy, like a fierce tiger, and their fighting spirit was overwhelming.

On this day, Li Chengdao stood on the hillside to watch the exercise of the boys of the three armies. The three-day drill was originally planned, but it dragged on for more than ten days. The eyes are tired, but no matter who it is, there is a little more perseverance and courage in the spirit.

Standing on the hillside, Li Chengdao nodded with satisfaction. After being ordered by him to take off the nearly forty-pound armor, the marching speed and adaptability of today's soldiers have been significantly improved. Ma Chao and Huo Qubing behind him also I couldn't help being full of admiration for my young master again, because at the beginning, even Ma Chao and Huo Qubing were puzzled by the order to remove the armor and disarm, especially since they only knew how to operate firearms and were not very good at melee combat Gan Ning once persuaded the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion that without their armor, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are like stripped women.
However, Li Chengdao did not waver at all. After he continued to emphasize the mountainous military discipline several times, the "throw away the helmet and remove the armor" operation was launched in the army.

But now, all the generals have seen it, and all the soldiers have also felt it personally. This is a reaction speed and action speed that is nearly twice as fast as before, which was unimaginable by the three armies before.

Seeing this, Gan Ning couldn't help thinking to himself, although it seemed that the soldiers' ability to protect themselves had weakened, their lethality against the enemy and their chances of surviving to avoid harm had increased greatly.

"Hey, really, I've been a soldier for most of my fucking life. I've been in the army all my life. Why can't I think of three rows of soldiers standing, squatting and lying down? One for charging, one for igniting, one for firing There are three people in charge of shooting in a squad, and when the guns are fired, the three of them have a firecracker, and the fire is impenetrable, which is more than a hundred times stronger than the original random shooting!"

Gan Ning listened to Lian Zhaoyang's admiration behind him, looked at Li Chengdao in front of him with admiration in his eyes, and said, "Your Highness, it's almost noon, and the sun is getting worse. Let's take a rest in the pergola!"

Li Chengdao nodded slightly when he heard the words, and the group turned back to the temporary shelter on the hillside. Lian Zhaoyang stepped forward and whispered something in Gan Ning's ear.

Seeing this, Li Chengdao smiled slightly and asked: "Master Lian, what's the matter, why are you still whispering? Can you let me listen to what you said?"

Lian Zhaoyang blushed when he heard the words, and looked at Gan Ning beseechingly. Gan Ning turned his head to look at Li Chengdao, saw Li Chengdao was smiling, and nodded to Lian Zhaoyang.

Seeing the general's consent, Lian Zhaoyang knelt down to salute, and said: "His Royal Highness, the last general told General Lian that I also felt a little itchy after watching the soldiers under his command perform exercises these days. Lead by example, take the lead, why doesn't Your Highness let us go down and lead the sons and daughters to practice fighting?"

Li Chengdao heard the words, the smile on his face remained unchanged, looked at the upright general next, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and looked at the rest of the generals.

"Do you all think so?"

Li Chengdao smiled and asked the other generals. Although they were silent, they all looked left and right, and the expressions on their faces clearly indicated a positive answer.

Seeing this, Li Chengdao asked with a smile: "In this case, generals, who will tell me what the so-called leading by example means? How should a general lead by example?"
