At this moment, Dongjiang Town underwent earth-shaking changes.

At this time, these islands have become military bases, and thousands of equipment that are not collected at night have arrived one after another. They are all excellent equipment, and they can customize equipment from the Royal Military Factory according to their own strengths and habits.

These nights were not taken away, and each became a grassroots officer. On average, each person was responsible for leading ten new recruits and teaching them how to fight behind enemy lines.

Not every night is reliable, but this will be a process similar to raising a Gu. Those who can survive in guerrilla warfare and achieve brilliant results will be promoted. As for those who are not suitable for guerrilla warfare, they will generally die on the battlefield and be injured and retired.

War is like a sieve, survival of the fittest has been the case since ancient times.

Mao Wenlong planned to practice for another two months, and then put the guerrilla army into the battlefield in batches to harass Jiannu and kill Jiannu's live power.

In contrast, Mao Wenlong was more concerned about the frontal battle with Jiannu in the mountains.

The Liaodong region, Chenyang and east of Liaoyang are all mountainous areas, which are not suitable for large-scale cavalry combat. When fighting here, Jiannu will lose his mobility advantage. However, Jiannu is not only good at cavalry, but in fact, Jiannu is also good at infantry combat.

However, after the Fifth Infantry Division of the Beijing Camp came to Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong immediately saw the advantage of the Beijing Camp's combat methods in the mountains.

However, Mao Wenlong, who had been in contact with Jiannu for many years, also saw that there was a fatal weakness in the Jingying camp, that is, the protection of the musketeers was too poor.

The musketeers in the Jing camp were all wearing leather armor and shot against Jiannu, and they had no advantage at all.

The way Jiannu fought was very simple, that is, to shoot the Ming army formation with heavy arrows within fifty steps (70 meters), and then charge after the Ming army formation was scattered. Jiannu's bow and arrow were not very powerful, but once its arrow pierced into the body, it was difficult to pull out.

The flintlock rifle used in Jingying can have a devastating attack effect within 50 meters, and its range is indeed similar to that of Jiannu's bow and arrow. In the process of fighting against Jiannu, there will inevitably be an attack. Jiannu will never rush up stupidly. You must know that the cavalry will attack the infantry formation with a rigorous formation, which is definitely seeking death.

So Mao Wenlong immediately decided to replace the protective equipment of the musketeers and replace all the leather armor with armor and helmets like the spearmen.

Zhajia has a good ability to protect Jiannu from bows and arrows. During the bloody battle of Hunhe, the combat process between Baigang and Jiannu fully proves this.

At the same time, Mao Wenlong re-matched the long-range firepower. Not only did he use flintlock rifles as a means of long-range strike, but he also arranged archers in the square array to attack different protective equipment of Jiannu. The penetration methods of bullets and arrows are different. After the bullet hits the target, it advances in a rolling manner. The protective ability of cotton armor to lead bullets is stronger than that of armor. However, bows and arrows can easily penetrate cotton armor.

This is equivalent to the physical damage and magic damage in the game. If the opponent is a kitchen knife team, just pile up armor. If the opponent is full of magic damage, just pile up magic resistance. If the opponent has both physical damage and magic resistance damage, then it will be a headache and you will have health values.

In reality, it is obvious that it cannot accumulate health points. If the Ming army has muskets and bows and arrows, it will be like physical damage and magical damage. Jiannu cannot wear armor and wear cotton prices to fight at the same time. Such troops are indeed found in Jiannu, but their mission is mainly to be cannon fodder, used to clear out obstacles and other obstacles set up by the Ming army, and their status is relatively low.

Jiannu's long-range strike method is relatively single, with only bows and arrows, just like the kitchen knife team in the game. The Ming army can effectively protect Jiannu's long-range strike as long-range strike as long-range strike as long-range strike as long-range.

Compared with time travelers like Zhu Youxiao, although Mao Wenlong did not understand physics and magical damage, he was very familiar with Jiannu's combat methods.

At the same time, compared to the emperor, Mao Wenlong thought more about how to deal with cavalry by drawing on history.

China has a long history and has never lacked combat experience in using infantry to deal with large-scale cavalry. Since ancient times, Chinese agricultural civilization has usually used the "Geese Formation" to deal with cavalry. That is, fully armed infantry equipped with a large number of long-range strike equipment, and then arranged into a tight formation, and cavalry were arranged on the left and right wings.

After the enemy cavalry attacks, they will shoot and kill the enemy cavalry with long-range strike units in the infantry. If the enemy cavalry is in chaos, they will be put into the cavalry and charge, and they can fight and win.

If the enemy cavalry and infantry shoot in confrontation, the armor protection advantages of the infantry are used to fight for consumption. The power of the bows and arrows used on the horse's back is definitely not comparable to that of the infantry's strong bows and hard crossbows, and the protection ability is definitely not as good as that of the infantry. Heavy cavalry consumes more endurance on horses, so it is impossible to shoot against infantry. Therefore, long-range shooting, infantry is absolutely advantageous.

If the enemy cavalry launches a head-on charge, it is definitely seeking death. Cavalry units usually choose to go around and explode, or use long-range strikes to disrupt the infantry formation, and then launch a charge.

The apocalypse formation created by Zhu Youxiao actually has such functions.

The spear is like a forest, and the cavalry dare not rush after seeing it. Even if they rush over, the war horse will silly hit this hedgehog? Even if the horse is trained, it will instinctively slow down when it is ready for the spear formation. Once the cavalry has no speed advantage, they will rush up and be poked to death in minutes.

There are musketeers in long-range strikes, which is no essential difference from the traditional wild goose formation.

It’s just that Zhu Youxiao didn’t know much about Jiannu’s combat methods, so he copied the Westerners’ set in terms of the protection of musketeers. However, this set was obviously not very suitable for the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

Mao Wenlong, who intended to replace the equipment, submitted a memorial with some anxiety. After all, this was a tactic set by the emperor himself. If he wanted to make changes, would it make the emperor unhappy?

However, what made Mao Wenlong happy was that Zhu Youxiao approved it within less than half a month after the memorial was issued and agreed to Mao Wenlong's suggestion.

Soon, all the leather armor of the musketeers of the Fifth Infantry Division of the Beijing Battalion were replaced with armor, and Mao Wenlong also added the configuration of archers in the square formation. The Liaodong military and civilians were healthy and never lacked people who could draw bows. There were still many excellent archers, and there were even more new recruits who could train them to become archers.

Zhu Youxiao was still self-aware and had some doubts about whether this phalanx could adapt to the battlefield, so he asked the Fifth Infantry Division to go to the Liaodong front line to try the waters first. Mao Wenlong's memorial request for a change, and the reason was clear, Zhu Youxiao naturally would not reject it, and he agreed readily.

The emperor's enlightenment and full support made Mao Longwen's confidence multiply. With the new army of the Fifth Infantry Division of the Beijing Camp, Jiannu was completely unlucky in the mountains.

When fighting in the mountains, Jiannu's cavalry could not charge around the back, so they could only shoot against the Ming army head-on and charge. In this way, what else could they be afraid of?

Moreover, the emperor had already stated in the imperial edict that even if the casualties ratio with Jiannu was 2:1, it was considered a profit. Jiannu had only a small population and had to constantly absorb the Jurchens. If he died more, he would be injured. In contrast, the Ming Dynasty had a huge population and was not afraid of such losses at all.

With sufficient personnel and equipment guaranteed, Mao Wenlong immediately invested the first batch of guerrilla troops into Liaodong in July of this year. The number of these guerrilla troops was 500, divided into ten teams, and attacked Jiannu in different areas.

This group of guerrillas mainly accumulates experience in harassing, so as to better train other guerrillas and lay a solid foundation for comprehensive harassment.
