Chapter 396 Complete Form
The sunset glow in the hot summer is always strong and exaggerated, as if it can burn through the entire sky.
Zhao Xu was still looking at the map in the study, thinking about the possible attack route of Beidi.
At this time, Xu Ke came back and brought Chai Wu with him.
"You want to go to Goryeo to get intelligence in person?" Zhao Xu was surprised after hearing what Xu Ke said.
Chai Wu nodded firmly and told his idea to King Yan again.
If he was just an ordinary member of the Fourth Academy, he would naturally not need to come to trouble King Yan.
But he is the deputy director of the Fourth Academy, and such a radical action must be approved by King Yan.
Zhao Xu's eyes stayed on Chai Wu for a while.
In the Fourth Academy, Xu Ke and Chai Wu are naturally very capable.
But it is still very dangerous to go to Goryeo in this way, and Chai Wu may not even come back.
But there seems to be no better way at the moment, even if some clues can be found in Goryeo.
Otherwise, if an accident happens, I am afraid that his business in Yanzhou will be destroyed overnight.
In contrast, he had to take a risk.
"Feng'er, go get a jar of wine." Zhao Xu said.
Xu Ke and Chai Wu looked at each other, Chai Wu smiled cheerfully, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
After a while, Feng'er brought in a plate with a pot of wine and three wine glasses.
Zhao Xu personally filled the three wine glasses, held them up and said to Chai Wu, "The country is in danger and needs brave men. Chai Wu, I am waiting for you to come back, and I will personally welcome you when the time comes."
"This welcome wine, I will drink it." Chai Wu drank the wine.
Xu Ke and Zhao Xu drank it at the same time.
Then Chai Wu poured himself another glass of wine, drank it again, and said, "If Your Highness has given Chai Wu a second life, I will not be able to repay him even if I sacrifice my life. Time is running out, I will go to Liao County now."
Zhao Xu patted Chai Wu's shoulder, and Xu Ke's eyes were slightly red.
Chai Wu clasped his fists heavily, left the study, and strode away.
Zhao Xu came to the door of the study and watched Chai Wu leave.
At this time, he said to Xu Ke: "Chai Wu went to Goryeo, but the movements of Xiliang, Beidi, and the powerful tribes must also be closely watched. No mistakes can be made. This battle will determine the offensive and defensive situation between Dasong and Beidi."
Xu Ke's face was solemn, "I will investigate the intelligence at all costs."
After instructing this matter, Xu Ke left.
The next day.
Zhao Xu got up early and went straight to Beidaying.
The war was approaching day by day, and the most important thing was the training of the royal army.
Now, the soldiers of the royal army are basically equipped with bayonets.
The last link of the flintlock tactics is completed.
In this way, the line tactics and bayonet melee of the flintlock tactics are complete.
This is of great significance to the royal army, because from now on, the royal army can even compete with the contemporary European army of the 17th and 18th centuries.
And this is also his confidence.
In addition, the Armory also gathered 500 carpenters to build chariots.
Generally speaking, five carpenters can build a chariot in three days, and a thousand chariots in a month.
Even if they need to be covered with iron sheets, there are still six or seven hundred chariots a month.
At present, according to Wang Ying, five hundred chariots have been delivered to the royal army.
There is basically no problem with three thousand chariots before the war.
"Kill! Kill! Kill..."
As soon as he entered the camp, Zhao Xu heard the soldiers' calls on the parade ground.
Chang Wei got the news and immediately came to meet him and accompanied Zhao Xu to inspect the camp.
Arriving at the parade ground, Zhao Xu looked at the soldiers.
At this moment, the soldiers were holding flintlocks in their hands, and the ends of the flintlocks were equipped with bayonets.
In the morning sun, the coldness flashed.
The soldiers were practicing the assassination movements according to the generals' slogans.
"Your Highness, this looks much more murderous than holding a stick, right?" Chang Wei pointed at the soldiers, with pride in his eyes.
After the bayonets were installed on the guns during this period, he specially arranged for two soldiers to wear plate armor, one holding a knife and the other holding a flintlock with a bayonet.
He found that when two soldiers with similar combat effectiveness fought, the soldier holding the flintlock with a bayonet had more advantages.
After all, an inch longer is an inch stronger.
Then he asked the soldiers to fight the flintlock soldiers with spears, and the flintlock soldiers still won.
Because although the flintlock soldiers' weapons were shorter than the spears, they were very flexible and could always pick up the spears. This was the defense that the soldiers practiced.
Of course, these were all direct melee situations.
If they really met on the battlefield, the flintlock soldiers would not give them a chance to fight melee at all.
"It's really murderous." Zhao Xu smiled.
It has to be said that watching such a scene is exciting, just like watching a military parade.
Then Zhao Xu Changwei took a bayonet from his waist.
The bayonet also has a long history of development.
At the beginning, the bayonet on the flintlock was a sleeve bayonet.
It is to put the bayonet on the gun barrel, and the bayonet is also like a barb, which is really in line with the name of the bayonet.
However, according to the experience on the battlefield, the appearance of the bayonet has also changed, and bayonets that are more effective in killing the enemy have appeared, such as the three-point bayonet and the knife-type bayonet.
But no matter what kind of bayonet it is, there is one more thing on it, the blood groove.
Simply put, it is a design that accelerates the bleeding of the enemy.
In the design of the bayonet, Zhao Xu was naturally not conservative. From the most primitive sleeve bayonet, there is no need for this.
Instead, the three-point bayonet was directly adopted.
This bayonet also has a ring at the end, which can be fixed on the flintlock.
Because of the handle, it is a 50-centimeter-long short knife when pulled out.
If you are suddenly attacked by the enemy and there is no time to put on the bayonet, you can directly fight the enemy with the bayonet.
This three-point design has been tested on the battlefield and is very deadly. It is known as the most poisonous bayonet.
This bayonet has three raised sides. After piercing the human body, it can quickly introduce air into the blood vessels through the blood groove to form air emboli in a very short time, blocking the blood vessels leading to the brain and causing circulatory disorders in the brain, thereby causing brain tissue hypoxia and rapid death.
In simple terms, if the sword pierces the enemy's body, the enemy can still wail for a while and maintain weak combat effectiveness.
Being stabbed by this bayonet will die faster.
And because of the conical design, the three-point thorn is better at piercing.
It can easily pierce two human bodies, and this shape also has a good armor-breaking effect on armor.
In ancient times, there was a weapon called an armor-breaking cone, which was this cone shape.
"This time, the royal army is armed to the teeth." Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei.
Zhao Xu had already told Chang Wei about the efficacy of the three-pointed thorn.
When he first saw this strange bayonet, he came to him.
So he asked Chang Wei to take this bayonet and an ordinary knife to the butcher for testing.
After that, Chang Wei never questioned this bayonet again, and hung one around his waist like a treasure.
"Yes, I'm waiting for this battle to teach the Northern Di people a lesson." Chang Wei was eager to fight.
During this period, the Black Iron Tribe has been provoking.
Although they killed and injured many people, they still did not stop.
He gradually lost patience with the Northern Di's long-term harassment of Yanzhou.
This time, he must have a good fight with the Northern Di.
