The bandits are in great position! You are going to open the Enke, you are ready to become an official...

Wei Wenweng, who was riding on his horse and running towards Yilie Castle, now had two things: "Kaienke" and "being an official".

As a landlord intellectual in the medieval Western Song Dynasty, Wei Wenweng's three major events in his life were of course the imperial examination, meritorious service and official career.

Now, under the squeeze of the two world empires like the Great Zhou and Eastern Song dynasties, the Western Song Dynasty, has become increasingly "profitable". The original route of promotion to the imperial examinations outside the military merits has also changed from "the emperor values ​​heroes, and his articles teaches you; everything is inferior, but he can only study high" to "the emperor values ​​heroes, and his muskets teaches you; everything is inferior, but he can only shoot targets."

In today's Western Song Dynasty, the right way to be a military officer is to the Huashan Martial Arts Hall and Huashan Sword Competition. The right way to be a civil servant is to shoot a target for the imperial examination!!

But just shooting a target can only produce an official body, but not a real good job. Even if you are the top scorer in the target, you can only give a ninth-grade Sullin Lang. As for the call, like other Jinshi, they are the captain or deputy team of the Musket Team! If you don’t want to do it, then you will be the choice... Keep guarding and keep guarding until you have to hold your braids and you will never make up for the gap.

After finally getting into the Jinshi, who is willing to choose for the rest of his life? Besides, the financial situation in the Western Song Dynasty is now tight, and there is no salary for the officials to choose.

Therefore, getting into a Jinshi is only said to be the first of the three major events in life.

The second major event is to make meritorious service, also known as Kaienke.

Why is it called Kaienke? That's because there are not only Jinshi in the Western Song Dynasty's Musketeers, but also Juren and scholars. As Juren, scholars can be promoted to Juren only after accumulating a certain amount of credit. A scholar can be promoted to Juren, and Juren can be promoted to Jinshi. This is like having an Enke, giving everyone an additional opportunity to high school.

As for the Jinshi's contribution, you can give it a fat. How many people are needed to kill, how many people are to be killed, how many people are to be killed, how many people are to be killed, and how many people are to be killed, all are clearly marked. The more people are killed, the faster the promotion is. However, the top is capped, and at most it reaches the level of the magistrate. Further up, it depends on the ability to be an official.

In addition to personal contributions, there are also collective contributions, namely "small victory", "middle victory" and "big victory". This collective contribution cannot be exchanged for fat, but it can be exchanged for higher-level officials and posts for the captain and team deputy.

If you have "post-office" and no "post-office" will have a great impact on the future of the officialdom. Of course, you will not be given a bachelor's degree directly, and you will be able to continue to rise after that. Without this compilation, you will not be able to obtain other sub-office positions. Without sub-office, you cannot hold a senior official position.

So now the more civil servants in the Western Song Dynasty came from gunfire, and they were not much different from military officers...

Under this official rule of shooting and killing enemies and becoming officials, if you want to become an official, you have to practice your marksmanship and then go to battle to kill enemies.

Moreover, the Western Song Dynasty was not like the Eastern Song Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty. Industry and Commerce were developed and there were many ways to make money, so it was not necessarily an official. The Western Song Dynasty was subject to inconvenient transportation and private industry and commerce could not develop greatly. Naturally, the status of craftsmen and merchants could not be improved. Even if they had a few money, they were still oppressed.

If you want to make a name for yourself, you can only become an official.

To be an official, no matter whether it is a civil or a military officer, you have to rely on military merits and there is no other way.

Therefore, scholars in the Western Song Dynasty had no choice but to study (there are still some written examinations in the imperial examination) while shooting. After winning (Jinshi, Juren, scholar), they still had to use practical actions to be loyal to the emperor, patriotism, and patriotism. Now it is not about talking about or writing a few beautiful articles on their lips, they have to kill the enemy in the rain of bullets!

If you are unwilling to shoot targets and kill enemies, then you will be out of office. You can just farm at home, pay rent and tax to support the men.

By the way, the master who came from a target to kill the enemy is much more cruel than the master who came from the imperial examination article! For the working people, the Western Song Dynasty's way of doing this is not as good as the original Song Dynasty...

The scholars, Juren and Jinshi who wanted to ride on the heads of the working people, were naturally filled with joy when they learned that the Mongolian army was coming!

"Kill the thief! Kaienko! Wansheng..."

"Kill the thief! Kaienko! Wansheng..."

When the news spread, the soldiers in Yili Fort City immediately cheered.

Whether the musket scholars who took the civil service or military service officers who took the military service officers' route, they were all excited about the war that was about to begin.

They have been on the front line of the Yili River for too long. Although small-scale conflicts have not been interrupted, it is difficult to obtain the enemy's head. How can we prove that we have killed without a head?

Moreover, it is difficult to calculate collective power in small-scale scout confrontations. The soldiers who attack often can only get one third of the "small victory" and only get promoted until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

Now, the credit is coming to your door, and you have a charity! You can finally get promoted and get rich. Can you be unhappy?

“How many are there?”

"At least tens of thousands!"

“So many?”

"almost."

"All cavalry?"

"I don't know much, I can't get close to..."

Among the division headquarters of the 10th Infantry Division of the Great Song (Western Song) Army in Yili Fortress, Yang Tiexin, the commander of the 10th Division, had just finished asking Wei Wenweng who came to report, and turned around and looked at the military inspector Li Bi.

"Ji Zhang, what do you think?"

Li Bi is an elderly civil servant, in his fifties this year, and has been in the officialdom for thirty years. He was born as a Jinshi of his father and of course he was also a Jinshi of the target! He had been a minister of the Ministry of Rites before and also presided over a "target test". His current official is the 10th Division Army and the chief of the King of the King of the Snowy Ye.

Not to mention the "Chief and Historian" or something, just his participation in the army has shown that civil servants in the Western Song Dynasty have greatly improved their status through "target shooting Jinshi" and can participate in the military.

Of course, whether these officials who entered the examination room with guns were considered civil servants is now doubtful.

Li Bi held his beard and said, "Since the barbarians are in great success, they can only fight."

"The battle is for sure!" Yang Tiexin stood up, walked to the map platform, and looked at the terrain around Yilie Castle, "The question now is where to fight!"

"Of course we have to fight outside the city!" Li Bi said, "Otherwise it will be inconvenient to cut off people and repay the merits."

This is a good thing to join the army. The 200,000 Tartars came over with great momentum. He was not afraid at all and was thinking about cutting his head and rewarding his merits.

"That's right... this is an opportunity!" Yang Tiexin is also a brave man.

Like Li Bi, he was also an official. His grandfather was Yang Zaixing, a general of the Yue family army, and his father was also a general of the Jingchu sect. He himself served in the army for more than 20 years and finally became the commander of the first division.

But it was not easy for him to go further, because he had never won any beautiful battles in his half-life.

If you cannot achieve some amazing achievements, this teacher will probably have to retreat to the second line after finishing his work.

"The enemy's troops are powerful," Yang Tiexin said, "The one who came should be Temujin himself! Yilie Fortress is a large castle with mounds, and it is impossible for him to fill it with human lives. So it must be a siege, and maybe even aid.

If this happens, no matter how we win or lose this battle, we will have no chance to show. We are just sitting in the fortress and waiting for Temujin to withdraw from his troops.

If you want to make great contributions and make great contributions, you must leave the city!"

"Is Temujin here? Are you sure to go out of the city and fight?" Li Bi was a little worried when he heard Yang Tiexin mention the name of "Temujin", "There is a huge gap between the masses!"

"Hehe," Yang Tiexin smiled, "We can have 16 sharp gun teams under our 10th Division, with more than 2,000 sharp gunmen. Temujin will definitely regret coming to Yilie Castle!"

"But the Mongolians might have 100,000...How many of our 2,000 sharpshooters can kill?"

"Haha, the question is not how much you can kill, but where to fight!"

"Where is it?" Li Bi asked.

Yang Tiexin pointed to a large bungalow area located in the north of Yiliebao City on the map and said to Li Bi: "It's here!"

"Ah? Isn't this a settlement area for people from Xiliang? They are all houses, how can I fight?"

Yang Tiexin said: "Just fight in the house and the streets!"

...

“Mush…”

A burst of gunfire passed, and the Persian infantry rushing in front fell down again! The remaining Persians were frightened and turned their heads and retreated, as if the tide was receding.

"Father Khan, these Persians are useless!" Temujin's second son Chagatai shouted, "Please ask father Khan to let the child supervise the battle..."

Temujin glanced at his second son, and Chagatai was so scared that he quickly shut up.

"Father Khan," Temujin's favorite youngest son Torre said at this time, "It's better to use a cannon... I have to force the Song people out of that private house, otherwise how can we fight?"

Temujin frowned, watching his warriors of the Qie Xue army waved their sabers and whips to stop the Persians from continuing to retreat.

To be honest, Temujin knew the fate of the Persians at the beginning of today's battle.

Because the Song people adopted a very unexpected style of fighting this time, neither blindly sticking to Yili Fortress and not leaving the city to fight. Instead, they set up a battlefield in a bungalow area composed of adobe houses.

This bungalow area is not particularly wide, it is built between the north of Yiliebao City and the Yili River. There is a wharf area, market area and residential area merger. The main buildings are adobe bungalows, and many low adobe walls have been renovated, with an inclined surface that can avoid bullets on the front.

In addition, barricades were built with sandbags on all streets in the bungalow area. There were also many field guns placed in the bungalow area, constantly changing the gun positions and shooting with shotguns.

At the Yiliebao Bastion south of the Pingtung District, the Western Song army also arranged defenders and artillery, which could shoot from a high place to prevent Temujin from sending troops to attack the flanks of the Pingtung District.

Such an arrangement doesn't look very clever, but the attacking Persian infantry suffered heavy losses.

What surprised Temujin even more was that his Persian infantry was not defeated by the enemy's platoon guns, but was beaten to the point of being scattered.

Moreover, this kind of scattered shooting does not follow the principle of "close fire", but opens fire at a long distance of 100 steps. It keeps firing, but the firepower is not as fierce. But it can always be put down...

Boer, one of Temujin's mother's "four adopted sons", rode on a horse from the front line at this time. He got off the horse when he arrived in front of Temujin, pressed his right hand on his left chest and bowed: "Sweat, no, our people are too seriously injured!"

"Our people?" Temujin asked, "are you talking about Persians?"

"No, no, you can kill him!" Borhu said, "But Song Zhe's bullet seemed to have eyes, and he was specifically targeting the officers we sent!"

"What?" Temujin's face suddenly turned a little ugly.

He doesn't feel sorry for how many Persians died, but those who supervised the war in the Persian army were all warriors sent by the Qiexue army, and it would be a pity for anyone who killed them.

These Song thieves are too cunning and have to be picky when killing people on the battlefield... It's so hateful!

"Boom boom boom..."

When Temujin was shocked, his artillery fired and fired again.

Temujin in this time and space is a top student at the Daburis Academy, proficient in artillery and engineers. Now that he is a great khan, he naturally attaches great importance to the development of artillery.

When he was in the West, his artillery was under the attack of the Western Liao and Jin tents!

But today when I arrived at the Yilie Castle City, facing a bunch of low adobe houses, the Mongolian cannons seemed to have completely lost their power. They kept hitting the ground, but there was no effect. At most, they smashed through the roofs of some bungalows. The Song army infantry hiding behind the inclined chest walls or barricades did not cause any damage at all.

The frightening shelling just ended, and another team of neatly arranged Persian infantry appeared to the west of the "Bunkhouse District". A large formation of three thousand people, muskets in front and long spears in the back, the formation was neat and slowly advanced.

"Mustrators, take your place!" Wei Wenweng, who was half kneeling behind a chest wall, shouted to his subordinates. "Fire within 100 steps and shoot freely!"

Just when he ordered, his two followers were carefully loading his "Wei Family Secretly Made Boutique River" with hammers and poking strips.

By the way, these target Jinshi, target juren and target scholars all bring their own high-quality muskets, and there is no limit on the number.

In other words, one person has more than one musket. There are at least three or four, both long and short.

So their firepower is not comparable to that of ordinary musketeers.

In addition, their guns are good, and they can perform precise sniping within 100 steps, and there is no need to shoot platoons. This tactic was found in the history of line infantry, called "light infantry tactics" or "scattered tactics".

The tactics in this line-based infantry era are not stupid enough to line up and shoot, but they also need multiple troops to cooperate!

The current Western Song army has not yet entered the era of line infantry, and the strait tactics have developed due to the "Imperial Examination Target shooting" and are far ahead of the times.

The two thousand Dongsong sharpshooters guarding this bungalow area now have about 6,000 high-quality muskets loaded with ammunition. As long as they can hit a 10% hit rate within 100 steps, they can kill 600 people... For enemies who can develop attacks in a limited space outside the bungalow area, the casualties of 600 people are at least 20%!

In fact, these Dongsong sharpshooters have a shooting rate of far more than 10% at a distance of 100 steps, and if they only have 10%, how do they like the scholar?
