The next morning, Zhao Mengjin got up early to greet her, but she was stunned. After asking Wang De, she realized that His Majesty had already gotten up and went to the school for morning exercises. After hearing this, he patted his forehead and scolded him for being confused. The little emperor always danced with a chicken and practiced hard, but he became lazy. He did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly went to find His Majesty. Fortunately, the military camp was not far from the yamen, and it was only a distance between the road. He arrived after a few steps.

"Don't cause trouble for me..." As soon as Zhao Mengjin arrived at the school, she saw a group of people surrounding the center of the school. Needless to ask, they were watching the little emperor, and he muttered while running.

"Don't worry about the commander-in-chief. The first division was established by His Majesty himself. All the officials and subordinates knew it. There would be no trouble." Chen Fenglin heard that Zhao Mengjin came, and hurriedly chased after him. Hearing his mutter, he continued.

"That's why the family is worried!" After entering the school ground, Zhao Mengjin slowed down. After taking a few heavy breaths, he tried his best to calm his breath and said with a frown.

"Supervisor Zhi, who dares to be unfavorable to Your Majesty? What are you worried about?" Chen Fenglin followed and asked in confusion.

"The two of them are in a row, and they are in a consistent manner!" Zhao Mengjin looked at Chen Fenglin with a squinted look.

"Oh!" Chen Fenglin quickly fell down and leveled with him, adjusting his steps, but he was secretly happy in his heart. Zhishuai was still very afraid of His Majesty.

"It is precisely because they are familiar with Your Majesty that Sa's family is worried that they are unrestrained and inappropriate, which makes Your Majesty angry!" Zhao Mengjin said in a serious and deep voice.

"Haha, even if Your Majesty is angry, he will not blame them. I am afraid that the person who is scolded is the handsome guy!" Chen Fenglin chuckled with malicious intentions.

"Hmph, if Your Majesty scolds Sajia, Sajia will deal with you!" Zhao Mengjin snorted coldly with an expressionless face.

"One shot!"

"Second shot is good!"

"Three shots are good!"

"emission!"……

"What are you doing there?" Zhao Mengjin pointed to the crowd and asked.

"It's like this. Our first army has just installed mortars and is now organizing various divisions to train here." Chen Fenglin replied.

"Oh, Your Majesty must be watching, let's not disturb us!" Zhao Mengjin had already heard that it was His Majesty who was issuing the command, and knew that he must be guiding and training again. After all, this thing was made by the little emperor, and only he was the most familiar with it, so he walked outside the circle and stopped the trail.

"Why did you forget again? After hearing the command to fire, after the shells were inserted into the chamber, you had to lean over to cover your ears and open your mouth wide to prevent shock and avoid being burned by the fire that was sprayed. If the chamber exploded, it might save your life!"

"Sure enough, Your Majesty is addicted to being an instructor again!" Chen Fenglin smiled when he saw the little emperor explaining, kneeling on one knee and lying on the ground like a shrimp.

"Don't laugh. Although this posture is indecent, it can help you at critical moments!" Hearing everyone's laughter, Zhao Bing stood up and stood at the right moment and said with a smile.

"These kids are really ungrateful!" Although the little emperor was not annoyed, Zhao Mengjin said with a dark face.

"Standing at the attention, reporting to the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief, the artillery training team of the first army is training, please instruct!" The executive immediately stood at the attention and saluted.

"Continue to train, Your Majesty personally guides you to do tricks. That is a blessing for eight lifetimes. You are not allowed to laugh!" After Zhao Mengjin returned the greeting, he stood attentively to salute the little emperor, sat down in front row with his legs straight and straightened his back.

With these two people in charge, the training ground suddenly became quiet, which made Zhao Bing very depressed. Of course, he was not good at using artillery, but compared to these soldiers who had just been in contact with mortars, he was also more experienced. At least he had seen the training scenes of soldiers on TV. In fact, he really had no shooting experience, so he wouldn't mention it in his previous life. This time, they only gave him a door-like cannon after the trial production was successful, but there was no place to test artillery by the West Lake. Speaking of which, it was just a paper talk.

However, the training personnel in front of him were the first batch of mortar artillery, so Zhao Bing decided to popularize them with knowledge, so he was better at this. So he started with the principle and structure of the mortar and explained in detail the function of each component and how to operate and maintain it; then there are shells, which in fact, in terms of shells, cannons really cannot be called mortars.

After the mortar shells slide into the barrel with their own weight, they use the striker at the bottom of the gun to fire the shell's bottom, ignite the basic medicine tube at the tail of the shell, and then the gunpowder tied into the additional medicine bag outside the bullet body is also ignited. Before Zhao Bing has fiddled out the detonating drug, he can only ignite the fuse with an open flame and then stuff it into the barrel. Of course, in addition to this, it is no big difference from modern mortar shells, and everything should be available.

In addition, the launch principle of the mortar determines that the mortar shell cannot be closely connected with the barrel. There is a certain gap between the shell and the barrel to ensure that the shell slides down. The rifle cannot be relied on the rifle to rotate the shell to stabilize its flight direction. Therefore, Zhao Bing also used modern inlay technology to install a copper air-retaining ring outside the bullet body to increase the pressure in the bore, and cast a tail wing when the bullet body is cast as a stabilizing device to ensure its flight attitude. The high and low aircraft consists of large and large bevel gears, screw barrels and outer barrels. The rotating handle can rotate the large and small bevel gears and screw barrels, thereby moving the high and low screws up and down, giving the gun a high and low firing angle.

At the beginning of the design, Zhao Bing positioned the mortar as accompanied infantry to fight the infantry to make up for the weakness of the slow firing rate of muskets and to deal with cavalry. Therefore, he used a two-inch caliber, which is equivalent to the modern sixty mortar. The overall weight is controlled at about 20 kilograms and the gun body is two feet to facilitate carrying and maneuvering, and keep up with the infantry's attack speed. However, the power of gunpowder is limited to 20 steps, the minimum range is fifty steps, and the killing area is two meter square, which is incomparable to modern ones.

Then Zhao Bing also talked about the tactics of mortars. He was worried that these people would still be used as direct-aid artillery, so he spent some extra time in tactics, telling them that mortars are also suitable for mountain warfare and positional warfare, and are especially suitable for using curved fire to deal with targets behind the shelter. It can cooperate with small infantry units, especially the teams below to support firepower.

Finally, Zhao Bing emphasized that on the battlefield, there may be repeated loading of mortars, that is, when a shell is put into the muzzle, but it is not successfully launched for various reasons. At this moment, if the gunner does not realize this and put another shell in again, it will form repeated loading. The consequences of repeated loading are often very terrible. Two shells may explode in the barrel at the same time, destroying the mortar and the gunners around it...

It was already Chen Shi, and the meal time had passed. I don’t know if he was talking too well or was frightened by his majesty. No one went to the cafeteria to eat anyway. It was not until the place dispersed that the army gathered again to the cafeteria to have dinner. Naturally, he also ate a big pot meal and calculated the meal expenses as usual.

"Your Majesty said so well today, and I have received a lot of education!" After leaving the cafeteria, Zhao Mengjin and Chen Fenglin accompanied the little emperor to walk around the camp, and he walked as he walked.

"I just want to say wherever I think about it. You still need to accumulate experience in training and actual combat. You must not be too dogmatic!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"I understand, and I will definitely know. But if it weren't for your guidance, I would still be blinded. I don't know when I will be able to form an army!" Chen Fenglin said with a wry smile.

"It depends on you, and that's all I can do!" Zhao Bing waved his hand.

"Without Your Majesty, there would be no subordinates waiting for today. Everything is given by Your Majesty!" Chen Fenglin said with emotion.

"Are there vans placed there?" Zhao Bing asked when he saw a row of 30 to 40 large carts placed under the walls of the military camp.

"Report to Your Majesty, that's right." Chen Fenglin said, "I thought that we would attack the Central Plains in the north, but our army lacked cavalry and fought against the enemy on the plains. If we could not build fortifications in time, we would easily be able to break through the formation by enemy cavalry, so we wanted to use a chariot to fight the enemy."

"Oh, you are very considerate!" Zhao Bing said in surprise when he heard this.

He knew that the weapons and arms of the chariots had been used on a large scale as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and were generally used to attack enemy formations during wartime. They broke through the enemy formation with their rapid advantages and impact force, laying the foundation for subsequent troops to win victory. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the use of chariots was usually the magic weapon for the princes to win. However, in the late Warring States Period, as the role of cavalry crossbows gradually increased, the use of chariots was quite threatened. In addition, the application environment of chariots was limited and they were not very mobility, so they could only be widely used in the northern plains. By the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties, chariots began to decline and no longer became the main chariots.

However, during the Eastern Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, chariots once returned to the stage of history and once again served as the main magic weapon of the army. The main reason was that the regimes in the north and south had long confronted each other and fought continuously, while the southern regimes were generally unable to resist the attacks of the northern cavalry. Therefore, they played to their strengths and avoided their weaknesses and used the arrangement of chariots to resist the cavalry route. However, at this time, the types and functions of chariots had undergone tremendous changes. From the past active attack and impact on the enemy array, they began to become simple defensive weapons, and used chariot arrays surrounded by chariots to block the cavalry.

"Shame, my subordinates are stupid and have never been able to do the trick. After training for a long time, they still cannot do the trick, so the chariots are useless. Those chariots can only be temporarily placed aside!" Chen Fenglin said with a blushing face.

"This statement is bad, success or not is second. It is very rare for Chen Dutong to have the desire to change and try to defeat the enemy!" Zhao Bing said solemnly. He knew that if a senior general still sticks to dogma and sticks to the old rules, he will be at a loss once the situation changes. And his ability to try to solve the difficulties encountered in the future is enough to be praised.

"I am afraid, please give me some advice!" Chen Fenglin was of course very helpful and asked for advice.

"I have only heard of the use of chariots. I have never seen it before, so I can't tell you. I think it's been more than a hundred years since Li Xiang built a Wugang chariot and rejected the Jurchen cavalry in the Jingkang period of the Song Dynasty. What is the purpose of Chen Dutong's training vehicle formation?" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said. He didn't know much about the use of the vehicle formation, and the specific application of it has long been lost, leaving only a glimpse of the flying geek in the literature.

"Your Majesty also knows that the advantage of cavalry is that it is rushing at high speed, with strong impact, which can easily disrupt the enemy's formation, divide and annihilate it; using chariots to arrange a formation, large and hard materials, vehicles that become obstacles, can first intercept the cavalry's high speed, which is beneficial to maintaining the integrity of its own formation and provide shielding and guarding for the soldiers." Chen Fenglin said afterwards.

"Secondly, the vehicles in the array are densely distributed, the passages between the rows are very narrow and tortuous, and it is difficult for cavalry to intersperse quickly, and the space for movement is greatly limited. Cavalry combat requires a good combination of people and horses, and there is a sufficient space to exert its power. The chariot array makes it extremely inconvenient to move, so it is naturally difficult to exert its combat effectiveness."

"In addition, our army can use cars to transport and carry a lot of baggage, which can reduce the burden on soldiers and enhance self-sustaining and mobility. In addition, marching in the field can be used as a camp to prevent enemy cavalry from attacking, and can use less enemies to more enemies."

"What Chen Dutong said is right. During the Northern Expedition of Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he used chariots as the main weapon to fight against cavalry on a large scale, and used four-wheeled chariots as mobile fortifications. When advancing, he used chariots to protect the left and right wings. During wartime, he used chariots to form a chariot array, including mainly protecting the flanks, infantry and cavalry in the middle, cavalry protecting the rear, and relying on chariot arrays composed of chariots to block the attack of enemy cavalry. The officers and soldiers in the formation used long and short-range weapons such as bows, arrows, spears, etc. to fight against cavalry invasion. He used this weapon to defeat tens of thousands of cavalry in Southern Yan and destroyed Nanyan in one fell swoop." Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"But the chariot array also has many defects. It is restricted by the terrain and can only be applied in flat and wide areas. If it encounters narrow and twisted areas, it is difficult to form a formation. It is also afraid of fire attacks or infantry attacks. Because the mobility is still different from that of the cavalry, it is easy to fall into a passive position during combat and be surrounded by the enemy on all sides. Even if it wins, it is difficult to pursue the remaining enemies. However, in terms of overall effect, the chariot array can effectively resist cavalry attacks, which is still a powerful tool to fight against cavalry."

"Your Majesty's intention, this car array is useless at the moment!" Chen Fenglin said disappointedly when he heard this.

"Hey, I have said long ago that there is no tactic that can be invincible and conquer the world. Even the simplest tactics, as long as you choose a favorable terrain and appropriate conditions, you can defeat the strongest enemy." Zhao Bing said, "The car formation also has its pros and cons. You must use it flexibly, play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and be able to fully exert the power of the firearms in our hands, and you can still be invincible. Therefore, you don't have to be discouraged. You can train and explore experience first, summarize the tactics, and I will support you with all your strengths!"

"Yes, I will definitely live up to what Your Majesty hopes and practice the formation!" Chen Fenglin said happily after hearing this.
