After receiving the order to counterattack, Li Zhen did not rush to act, but ordered the entire army to sit on the spot to get food and drink water, and for a moment the battlefield fell into tranquility again. Long Xingjun on the opposite side finally stabilized the formation, but when he saw that the Song army had just started eating on his own, he did not dare to act rashly and stopped arbitrarily outside the ground with an arrow.

"Your Majesty, what does Li Zhuang mean? Why don't you obey the saint's order?" Wen Tianxiang frowned and said. But the guardian was His Majesty's personal army. He had no right to mobilize, so he could only ask the little emperor.

"Haha, I ordered him to prepare for an attack, not an attack immediately. As for how to seize the opportunity, I don't need to interfere more!" Zhao Bing smiled, "The war was urgent just now, I had never used breakfast, and I had a long battle. How can I have the strength to fight again without replenishing some food?"

"Your Majesty, but the enemy is in front of the army, they sit on the ground without warning. If..." Xie Fangde said uneasy.

"Xie Fu's envoy, but the enemy clamored but did not dare to come forward. It can be seen that the battle just now had already made him scared. This is how Li Tongzheng further suppressed his morale and could win in one battle after another." Song Lian interrupted.

"Your Majesty is so proud that the navy will be recruited to help the war. General Li has already made a decision to know the holy intention. One is to use this to quit the army, the other is to wait for the navy to come, and the other is to suppress the morale of the enemy, as General Song said," Qin Linfeng added.

"Aren't you all hungry? I'm so hungry. I'm also getting some dry food with me!" Zhao Bing smiled and said, touching his stomach.

"Your Majesty, I will ask you to make a meal right away." Wen Tianxiang thought about it, the little emperor was a 'foodie'. No matter how anxious he was in the war, he never forgot to eat, and quickly said.

"No need to be so troublesome. Just fill your hunger with some dry food!" Zhao Bing waved his hand quickly.

"Your Majesty, I'm not going out today." Chen Dun looked at him and said with his head down.

"Your Majesty, the last general is carrying it, but it's cold." Qin Linfeng took the dry food bag from his personal guard and felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm not afraid when it's cold, just light the fire and roast it!" Zhao Bing didn't dislike it. He reached out and took it over and looked at some rice balls, pickles and dried fish, and asked someone to bring it over to the brazier.

"Your Majesty, let's bake some jerky meat and cakes here together!" As he spoke, Song Lian also handed the grain bag and said.

"Oh, it's best to have meat." Zhao Bing also took it, frowned and smiled when he opened it but looked unobserved.

A moment later, a guard brought a brazier and cut the rice balls, dried fish and meat on a grate to bake. Zhao Bing asked everyone to gather around, and the balls were seated together. Under the baking of charcoal fire, a burst of fragrance was emitted in a while. When he saw that it had been baked, he turned the rice balls and dough with chopsticks in his hand, and the rice balls and dough cakes were turned over, and the rice balls and dough cakes had been roasted.

"Your Majesty, please use it with rude food!" Song Lian took the lead and put a piece of cake on the meat and held it in his hands.

"No need, I cannot withstand the fishy smell of this beef. You can work hard for your own use!" Zhao Bing pushed away, picked up a dried fish and threw it gently on the edge of the brazier, shook off the sparks and charcoal ash on it, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it, "After baking, this dried fish is crispy and tastes good, everyone will try it."

"Your Majesty, this dried fish is salty and hard, where is it delicious? Where is this beef in the pastry?" Chen Dun also took a dried fish and put it in his mouth and chewed it bitterly. Although he didn't dare to spit it out, he snatched the pastry in Song Lian's hand first.

"You kid is forgetting your roots. You didn't want to leave for this dried fish and rice. You were so angry that you didn't leave in the general's mansion. You never complained at that time!" Zhao Bing picked up the rice ball and took a bite. The rice ball was made in the army. Not only was the rice bran not sieved, but it was also mixed with sand. It was vulgar and difficult to swallow and hurt teeth when chewing it, but he still swallowed it without changing his face and joked with Chen Dun.

"I have a wise and wise master, so I don't want to know this rice, dried fish!" Chen Dun's face did not blush, his heart was not beating, and he said shamelessly.

"Puff..."

"Qin Dutong, why are you laughing at?" Chen Dun pointed at Qin Linfeng and said angrily.

"That day, I remember that Chen Tongzhi brought Li Zhen and other groups to make a big feast. He was captured by His Majesty because he robbed food. He cried and made a fuss. At that time, the fish were dried every day, but the rice was very satisfied!" Qin Linfeng pointed at Li Zhen in front of the formation, touched his beard and smiled.

"You... that's just a means of my surrender to Your Majesty. Otherwise, how could I enter the General's Mansion?" Chen Dun was a little angry after being revealed, but his eyes turned and said with a shy face.

"Your Majesty, my sister and sister died early, and I neglected to discipline my brother, and I did such a traitor. I would like to ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Mrs. Xu was very surprised when she heard this, but then she thought that Chen Dun had been stubborn since she was a child, and such a thing was definitely done.

"Haha, Mrs. Xu should not take such a trivial matter to heart." Zhao Bing smiled and said, "He was also a child at that time. After Chen Xiang died for his country, he was my fault. But at that time, only rice and dried fish were the hardships, which made him suffer."

"Your Majesty, although I am short-sighted, I know the kindness of a meal. My brother now forgets the difficulties that day seem like small things, but he will inevitably do things to blame you every day. He should be punished seriously." Mrs. Xu said seriously.

"Mrs. Xu's words are reasonable. Forgetting the past is betrayal. This statement is not only for him, but also for me. I have received teaching today!" Zhao Bing stood up and dressed and said politely.

"Your Majesty is so serious, how dare I do it!" Mrs. Xu quickly gave in to the right and then polite.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates know that they are wrong, and they will definitely think about their own mistakes!" Chen Dun also quickly apologized and apologized.

"Oh, with Mrs. Xu's righteousness, it shows that the family tradition is clean and upright. It's a pity that Chen Xiang died early and did not ask for advice in person, which is a pity!" Zhao Bing said in his hand.

"Your Majesty is wise, I respect you!" Wen Tianxiang stood up and said, and the generals also stood up to salute.

"Sit down, no matter how virtuous you are, you have to fill your stomach first!" Zhao Bing sat down first, looked at everyone, his lips twitched slightly, and then he smiled and greeted everyone...

‘Boom, boom, boom…’ Hearing the sound of the cannon from afar, indicating that Zheng Yong had led the navy to take the position, which also indicates the arrival of the decisive battle. Li Zhen heard the news that the army was ordered to stand up and prepare for the war, and then more than a hundred large and small artillery deployed on the front line opened fire at the same time, shooting into the enemy formation. Amid a series of commands, the infantry of the Second Brigade quickly changed into offensive combat formations, forming square formations in battalions as units to advance forward.

Then the Weisheng Army and the Huaien Army also moved forward with a long snake formation. One of them served as the supporter. Once the forward was defeated, they could quickly replace them and block the enemy; the other was that the front line was long, and there would inevitably be enemies who could escape the net in the melee, and they could intercept them. Zhao Bing also ordered the central army to move forward, and mounted their horses surrounded by the generals, and personally took the army and mountain brigades to escort the left and right.

The Second Brigade was lined up with guns under the cover of fierce artillery fire. After the artillery fire stopped, it was less than 100 steps away from the enemy. However, the Long Xingjun, who was suddenly hit, suffered heavy losses and retreated backwards, almost defeating the Ten Thousand Houses of Pingyang Taiyuan, which was behind. The main general Wang Ying cut off more than a dozen Long Xingjun troops to stop retreating and stabilize his position, but he had lost the opportunity and could only turn off attack to defense.

"Shoot the arrow!" The two armies were defeated before they even joined the battle. Baoerchi was furious, but he was also frightened. He had never seen such a fierce firearm. But when he saw the Song army bent forward step by step, he ordered the arrow to be fired in panic.

According to the rules, the infantry must be arranged with shield soldiers in front and archers behind them. When the enemy approaches, one soldier will first shoot at the caliber range, and then shoot in groups after the enemy enters, so as to effectively kill and kill the enemy soldiers. However, the main general panicked first, and the soldiers below were even more afraid. He ordered that the Song army would shoot arrows before entering the shooting range, trying to deter the enemy troops, and it would be best to force them back.

However, the fact was contrary to what they thought. The Song army not only did not stop the attack, but instead accelerated its pace, and the formation was not at all chaotic. It seemed that there was no rainy arrow falling from the sky. The soldiers were like wooden men who were ignorant of fear, and still mechanically followed the rhythm of the drum beat. Even if someone around them fell down by the arrow, they still stepped forward silently and fearlessly.

The sound of drums, the sound of clanging footsteps, and the silent expression of not fearing death brought great psychological pressure to Long Xingjun. They seemed to have the courage and confidence to flatten the world and sweep across the four fields. In front of them, they were just a small puddle that could be crossed step by step. As the heavy sense of oppression approached step by step, the defense line of Long Xingjun, who had suffered a great loss, began to shake, and the arrows shot by the archers became more and more messy and lost their heads.

"Get the bayonet!" After 60 steps, Li Zhen issued an order. The soldiers who were marching pulled out the bayonet with their left hand, lowered the gun body with their right hand and installed the bayonet with their right hand, and returned to the one-handed rifle.

"Rise the gun!" After 50 steps, Li Zhen issued a command again. The guard soldiers changed from holding a rifle with one hand to holding a gun with both hands, opened the security, and dispersed amid the commands of the commanders of each battalion, turning into a unit to carry a gun forward.

"Shoot!" Within ten steps, the formation had been transformed and formed into four horizontal lines. Li Zhen suddenly waved the command flag and issued a shooting command.

‘Bang, bang, bang…’ The marching team stopped, the first row of soldiers opened fire at the same time, and the bullets fired from more than 2,000 muskets swept through like a gust of wind.

The Mongolian army of the Yuan army generally did not use shields when riding horses and fought. Small shields were only used when dismounting and skeleton warfare. Most of them were rattan shields made of rattan and leather shield made of raw cowhide. The Han army infantry often had shields, not only with side cards, group cards, iron ball cards, crooked wooden cards, etc., but also created a kind of "folding shield". If it was opened, it was a shield, and if it was restrained, it was easy to hold. It was the same principle as an umbrella, but the material was nothing more than wood, leather, etc.

The power of the musket can penetrate iron armor. These shields are like thin paper, which cannot resist the lead bullets fired at all. At such a close distance, the Longxing army soldiers in the front line were immediately placed in a row. As soon as the first round of gunfire sounds stopped, the soldiers in the back row had already stepped forward and carried out the second round of shooting, followed by two more rounds of shooting.

The guards had a brigade of more than 10,000 people. In addition to the baggage and artillery, there were more than 8,000 musketeers. The hit rate of musketeers within 40 steps was as high as 80%. Even if they were half, they would cause thousands of casualties to the enemy. With such a huge loss, Long Xingjun, who had already become a frightened bird, immediately collapsed and fled backwards. Even if Zhaoerchi was willing to stop him, he was powerless. Moreover, he had already been frightened and retreated with the defeated army.

"Attack!" Seeing the enemy collapsed, and before the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, Li Zhen issued an order to rush forward, and he also took a musket to lead the army forward. What does it mean to be defeated? Long Xing's army, which collapsed, rushed up to destroy the Pingyang Taiyuan Army's formation behind him. The two armies were stirred up together and suddenly became a mess. The Song army had already caught up, and the two sides had a hand-to-hand combat broke out...

Zhao Bing looked forward. Although he couldn't see clearly, the enemy's flag kept retreating. It was obvious that his side had the advantage and disrupted the enemy's formation, making them unable to stabilize their position. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had previously commanded the battle and avoided close combat with the enemy, because he was worried that his side's individual combat ability would suffer losses in close combat, but he also knew that this would be inevitable, so he also tried his best.

Compared with physical fitness, the height and strength of the southerners are weaker than those of the northerners, and it is difficult to gain advantage by fighting one-on-one. Therefore, Zhao Bing considered this issue when shooting muskets. While not affecting the loading and ensuring the stability of the muskets, he tried to lengthen the bayonet. In hand-to-hand combat, the principle that "one inch long and one inch stronger" is known to people. The length of the musket reaches nearly six feet after being equipped with bayonets.

At the same time, the Yuan army was also equipped with long spears and long swords, with a length of approximately six feet. The single sword and double-handed swords that are commonly equipped are generally about three feet, and the longest will not exceed four feet. Otherwise, it will be difficult to dance, or it may be easily broken due to material limitations. As the whip mace of Qimen weapons, bones and other weapons will not be too long, so muskets equipped with bayonets have an advantage in length.

Secondly, Zhao Bing knew that only by working hard in training, fighting for the stabbing is an important training subject for the new army. Not only did he refine the moves, but the training intensity was also very strong. At the same time, he emphasized practical training. He once required that he should practice assassination in uneven terrain or mountainous areas with real guns, and he could not just keep the training on the basic coach to improve the assassination technique.

In addition, we are trying to find a tactical way. If we can't fight one on one, we will cooperate with each other to form two-on-one or three-on-one in the local area, one of them will attack and the others will sprint. Of course, there are some tricks. They often group three people, one of them keeps the bullets loaded, and once they encounter a strong enemy, they will first shoot and kill the most threatening person. Of course, the officer is the primary target.
