Chapter 7 Queue

After three consecutive days, during the day, all the military households under his family went to the fields to farm. Chen Mu ran around the ridges and raised stone locks to exercise. At noon, he led several military households to exercise in some queues, asking Professor Shao Tingda to use his sword. When the sun was about to descend in the evening, he set up a wooden sign fifty steps away and shot more than ten sons with a bird gun.

However, as soon as the gun was fresh, the slow loading and firing rate made people feel bored. It was all based on my heart and I hoped that the firearm would save my life and would be patient for a while. However, most of the recharges were left to Wei Balang beside me to do it, and Chen Mu only aimed at the trigger.

Fortunately, some of the sperm of the hundred households were preserved. On weekdays, there were not many people using the muskets because they were easy to explode. Bai Yuanjie gave him hundreds of sperm, which was enough for him to use for a while. He used the musket skillfully. Chen Mu discovered that the musket was not as he thought. If he saw a single robber in the countryside, he could win if he had a firearm on his hand. However, in ancient times, there were not thousands of people in wars. At that time, this kind of slow-firing firearm might not be of much use. It was just that the killing ability was stronger than that of the crossbow.

Bird guns are a very good weapon. Although they are not as good as Chen Mu imagined, the unparalleled lethality of thirty or fifty steps is undeniable. As for the shortcomings in the rate of fire, Chen Mu has made up his mind that whether he buys or wants it in the garrison in the future, he must have three bird guns on his body, and he always has two people skillfully loading ammunition and compressing medicine for him.

Practicing shooting skills can save your life. In this dangerous era, you will not be able to tie a chicken. It is Chen Mu's priority to do his best to ensure his safety.

Besides, this is the only thing that can make him care about now. His responsibilities are not so much military officers as well as official Tian. Even if he is ordered by Bai Yuanjie to train soldiers, he cannot do any insightful actions. It was not until this era that he had a little connection with "training soldiers" that he knew how nonsense it would be to travel to ancient times hundreds of years later... Use the military training queue to train soldiers and train a number of elite soldiers?

Sorry, when Shao Tingda asked Chen Mu what to practice, Chen Mu slapped his head and said that the training queue was practiced. Then, a group of old, weak and disabled people stood in the queue very quickly under the leadership of Shao Tingda who was as strong as a cow. Although it was uneven, at least Chen Xiaoqi could figure out one thing, "You, will you stand in the queue?"

"Brother Mu is joking. We don't know anything else in the military households, but we don't know anything about farming and queues?" Shao Tingda grinned and smiled. Before he could finish his smile, Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed and said, "Now practice, I am your flag officer, be serious!"

At this time, Chen Mu also knew that he was making a joke. The memories of Chen Mu's appearance and disappearance in this era told him that the queue was not a new thing that belonged to the 20th century. The queue was commonly known as the battle formation, which can be traced back to the battle formations when the ancient pre-Qin nobles used the chariot formations to fight. Later, during the thousand-year war, the strategy method has been adapted to local conditions, but the essence of war has never changed.

"The queue is not to stand here, but to kill the enemy and protect themselves. Kill the enemy, to let the enemy fall on the road of attack; to protect themselves, to be able to attack and defend and help each other in battle." Chen Mu said these words, without any unnatural. He was in this era and understood many things that he had not understood and could not understand in the past. The difference between him and the ancients was not only that he knew that new things did not exist in this world, but also that his understanding of the old world was far beyond the contemporary Ming people. What he lacked was only the understanding of the contemporary. "We stand in two formations, and you all remembered that one was the queue, from low to high, Wei Balang first, Shao Tingda first, stand at the end!"

"Yes, yes, just line up like this. Everyone looks at the back of their heads in front and looks crooked and swaying. Standing like me, standing straight!"

As he said that, Xiaoqi and the other six stood according to Chen Mu's idea. This was just that they were all a little innovative at the beginning. They could learn to stand like Chen Mu, but they still stood up well.

"Remember this order, this is called military posture. You will remember in the future. Whenever the troops gather, you will stand like this." Chen Mu said with a smile: "This kind of battle will not help in the war, but it looks good and has a spirit, unlike a farmer. If you encounter an enemy, you have to change the battle formation. Shao Ting reaches the front, and you will be able to dance the sword hole and have strong martial arts, so you must stand in front of the formation to block the rushing enemy for your robes."

As he said that, Chen Mu asked Shao Tingda to be in front of him, and Chen Guan, who had three fingers missing and Old Man Zheng, who had lost all his teeth, stood with a long pole, forming a small triangle formation. Chen Mu was naturally in the center. Behind him was Wei Balang who was packing gunpowder for him. This kid was the youngest and smart, and if he really couldn't beat him and escape, he could let him run first. Chen Mu still liked Xiao Balang very much. On both sides of Chen Mu were Shiqi, who was telling about the story and another person named Fu Yuan, who was accustomed to stealing and stood with bows and arrows.

A total of six flag directors plus Chen Mu's small flag formed a simple attack formation.

It's true that Chen Mu thought training was not a good job before, but when he really wanted to try it, he realized that it was really interesting to command a few people to line up according to his own ideas. Of course... People like him who have no family background and are not well-versed in military tactics, even if they have some ideas in their minds, the battle formation formed is of great strength. Even if they completely move the queues when they were in the army to the Ming army, it may not be able to play a role.

Military tactics are not just a copy, but adapting to local conditions.

Fortunately, Chen Mu didn't have the opportunity to command a large-scale war. He was just commanding his subordinates. His purpose was to guard against the bandits he might encounter on the way to Guangzhou Prefecture, which was enough.

Let the strong men under his command record the formation, and then Chen Mu spent half an hour to command the army, so he sent them to the busy farming industry, leaving Wei Balang to recharge his medicine, and train his shooting accuracy with one gun at a time. It was not that Chen Mu was very popular for three minutes. He also knew that practicing the formation was not that simple, but the soldiers had to practice and the fields had to be cultivated. Chen Xiaoqi had only six flag masters and had to cultivate the land of twelve flag masters. It was not easy to make up for the quota of the flag masters and get four flag masters who were with their families, so it would be easy to let the rest of their family go to farm, so he could take the official masters to practice.

Now? He asked six Qiding to stand in a queue here to practice bow and scalpel skills. But there were also a big girl and a little wife watching her eyes disturbing her mind. The laughter came one by one. How could Qiding calm down and practice?

There is nothing we can do, so we can only spare an hour every day to practice, at least so that they can defend the battle formation in critical situations. As for wanting them to go to the battlefield, it depends on Chen Mu who will be on the rotation of the city when he comes back from Guangzhou Prefecture to be on duty.
