Time has entered summer without realizing it. Although the capital is located in the north, the heat waves are rolling during the day. In such a hot day, the schoolyard of Shenji Camp is fluttering. A thousand officers and soldiers are in neat formations. Standing in the center of the schoolyard, they are sweating profusely, but they are still motionless.

It turned out that Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng and the others had trained for several months and finally developed a more practical formation called Dilang, which means that the soldiers stood in a square formation of more than three rows and directed the soldiers to move forward and backward like waves according to the battlefield situation. If the enemy's offensive is fierce, the front row will shoot and immediately withdraw and load the bullets, and the back row will shoot in turn. If the enemy is in a tendency to defeat, the front row will step forward and then load the bullets on the spot, and the back row will step forward and shoot in turn.

Hearing that the battle formation was almost mature, Zhu Cijiu couldn't help but come to inspect it. At this time, he had already sat on the dock stage in the south. Seeing that the formation was already arranged below, he shouted excitedly: "Start."

Qin Liangyu next to him heard this and immediately raised the flag in his hand. Lu Xiangsheng on the school field immediately raised his right hand when he received the signal and said loudly: "Rise the gun in the first row and aim."

With a loud bang, the first row of two hundred soldiers immediately raised the flintlock rifle in their hands, leaned on the butt stock, and aimed in front of them.

Lu Xiangsheng waved his right hand down and shouted: "Cum."

With a loud "bang", two hundred flintlock rifles emitted a wisp of white smoke almost at the same time. Of course, this was exercise, not actual combat, so they only used gunpowder and no bullets.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered: "The first row loads the bullets on the spot, the second row takes ten steps forward, raises the gun, and aims."

The first row of soldiers paused the butt to the ground at the same time, took out gunpowder and started to load it; the second row of soldiers quickly passed through the gap between the first row of soldiers, ran forward for ten steps, then stood firm, raised their guns, and aimed.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered: "Che."

There was another loud bang, and Lu Xiangsheng kept ordering three, four and five rows to step forward and shoot quickly. One thousand soldiers pushed forward like waves, and they advanced two hundred steps in less than a cup of tea. At this speed, if there were infantry in front, they would basically be chasing their butts and could not even run away. Of course, if there were cavalry in front, they would not be able to catch up with such speed.

This simple flintlock rifle was originally used to deal with the peasant uprising army. This tactic is naturally the most suitable for those peasant armies that are not even complete. But what should I do when facing the Later Jin cavalry? When Zhu Cijiu was considering how to deal with the cavalry, the voice of a beautiful woman suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Dingdong, congratulations on completing the fourth survival mission. The rewards will be issued below, and the flintlock grenade drawings."

Zhu Cijing felt a little dizzy again, and two sets of drawings appeared in his mind, one was a flintlock grenade exploded diagram, and the other was a flintlock mine exploded diagram.

Before he could check it out carefully, the system beauty's voice continued:

"Dingdong, please pay attention to the new task reminder.

Your fifth survival mission: Survive in this world for a year.

Mission reward: New flintlock drawings.”

When Zhu Cijing heard this reward, he was so happy that he almost jumped up from his chair. The new flintlock rifle was finally coming, and then the musketeers could compete with the Later Jin cavalry in the field.

He was happy for less than two seconds, and the beauty of the system immediately poured a basin of cold water: "Friendly reminder: The Later Jin cavalry is about to attack the capital, please be prepared! The prompt ends, I wish you a happy game."

Zhu Cijiu collapsed before he jumped up. The Later Jin cavalry came to attack at this time. Is this life worthless? He is not ready for anything!

What to do, what to do? Zhu Cijiu was really panicked this time. It was not a joke to attack the Later Jin Dynasty. This was a war between two countries. It was extremely cruel. It was either win or lose. There was no slightest kindness, and there was no room for maneuver!

After watching the battle formation practice without hesitation, he hurried back to the palace and began to ponder the map to see how to overcome this crisis.

In fact, he had known that the Later Jin Dynasty would bypass Ningjin's defense line and sneak attack the capital, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. Now the training of the Beijing Camp has just begun. Except for the 300,000 troops in Liaodong, the other troops of the Ming Dynasty did not have the strength to fight against the Later Jin cavalry at all. Huang Taiji chose to attack at this time, which was really troublesome.

Zhu Cijiu looked at the Great Wall that stretched thousands of miles from Jizhou Town to Xuanfu Town on the map. How could this make people defend it? Even if a hundred thousand troops stood up, less than one person could reach ten steps, and it would be meaningless at all. It seems that it is impossible to defend the Great Wall, unless there were more than two million troops in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

He could not remember where the Later Jin army broke into the pass, probably near Zunhua. In order to panic the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji would definitely lead his army to attack the capital. All cities from Zunhua to the capital were in danger of falling.

Zhu Cijing calculated the troops that could be mobilized along the line. In addition, the more than 50,000 imperial guards in the Beijing camp were only more than 100,000, and the troops attacked by the Later Jin Dynasty were also more than 100,000. According to the current combat effectiveness of the Ming army, we should not want to win the battle at all. The current Ming army is no match for the Later Jin cavalry outside the city. We can only defend the city and consume the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty and force it to retreat.

Of course, all Liaodong troops in Liaodong can also be transferred to fight the Later Jin Dynasty to fight to the death, but when the Liaodong army moves, it is hard to say whether Huang Taiji will attack the capital or the Ningjin defense line. If he takes advantage of the emptiness of Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty will be not far from the destruction of the country.

Zhu Cijing vaguely remembers that later historians analyzed that Huang Taiji's goal this time was actually Jizhou Town between the capital and Liaodong. He mainly wanted to cut off the land passage between Liaodong and the capital, and turn Liaodong into an enclave hanging outside. He never thought that he could capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The reason why he ran to the capital was to mobilize all the mobility forces of the Ming Dynasty to the vicinity of the capital. Then he turned around and rushed to Jizhou Town, and could easily take down several cities near Zunhua.

This is a typical tactic of fighting against the west, but the Ming army had to be led by him. No one could afford the crime of losing the capital. Anyone who dared to hesitate would take his life!

Judging from the current situation, Jizhou Town is really unable to save it. If all the troops who serve the king are gathered near the capital, if Huang Taiji becomes angry and fights to attack the capital, then the Ming Dynasty will be completely finished.

Zhu Cijiu looked at the map for a long time, but he couldn't find a perfect solution. He couldn't help but close his eyes tiredly, wanting to rest for a while before looking.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he suddenly remembered that there were drawings of flintlock grenades and landmines in his mind. He couldn't help but look carefully.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. These flintlock grenades and landmines were too poisonous!

Although the explosion of flintlock grenades and landmines are not very harmful due to the power of gunpowder, there are countless steel needles mixed in it. When this explosion opens, it is simply a rainy pear blossom needle. People within a few meters nearby will probably be pricked into hedgehogs!

Zhu Cijiu looked at the structure of grenades and mines again. In fact, it was not complicated. He changed the flintlock device of the flintlock rifle and turned into vibration excitation. As long as the grenades and mine safety pins are removed, the shrapnel inside the vibration will be smashed with flint towards the steel plate of the medicine room, which is the same as pulling the trigger.

This steel needle is also easy to make. Just use bamboo sticks to pierce the holes densely on the solid fine sand. Water the steel water up and tell what the needle looks like. Anyway, it is not used for embroidery, but for hurting people. The rougher the better, the grinding is not necessary. You can use it if you take it out and wash it clean.

With such a vicious "Storm Pear Blossom Needle", Zhu Cijiu's mind is active again. This thing may not be as good as the cavalry of the Later Jin in field battles, but if it is used to defend the city, the effect will be! A grenade can damage at least ten people. Unless the enemy is all iron-killed, ten times the force will not be able to capture a city!
