Chapter 27 Cold Water

Xiao Tianjian is quite satisfied with the result of this battle. They beat more with less, and they are still defeated by officers and soldiers. Although these officers and soldiers can only be regarded as rabble, at least they have won a big victory at a very small cost. This fully shows that his practice is still very effective, at least he does so. There is no wrong direction, which strengthens Xiao Tianjian's confidence and is determined to continue to practice like this, so that his men can have stronger combat effectiveness. This is the capital to save his life in troubled times!

When Xiao Tianjian's whistle sounded again, those old subordinates left the guys at hand when they heard the sound, rushed to focus in front of Xiao Tianjian, and quickly arranged into a horizontal team. According to Xiao Tianjian's command, they quickly looked to the right. Previously, the queue was more arranged than before this battle. It needs to be more neat, and the speed is much faster, and these people straighten their chests one by one, revealing a strong posture. After all, they are serious people who have seen blood in battle. Psychologically, these people have matured a lot.

And those new men in Zhaojiabao were puzzled and came over tremblingly, but they didn't know what to do. They bent down and shrunk their necks to listen to Xiao Tianjian's orders.

After Xiao Tianjian glanced at everyone with his eyes, he said loudly, "Everyone saw what happened the day before yesterday with their own eyes!" My Xiao's practice on big guys is still effective! So even for your own life, you can't relax! This exercise still needs to be carried out!

As for the newcomers, you have also seen that you can only survive in troubled times by grouping. Since you are with me, you have to practice together. Only in this way can you live longer!

I don't want to mention more about Li Mazi, but I have to say that escaping from the battle is a betrayal for anyone. If I don't kill him that day and let him run away, you will be in chaos. I'm afraid you won't have a few of you standing here alive now!

So no matter what, it is not an excuse to escape from the battle. Even if you die, the big guys will die together. Without this, everyone will still be a mob! Do you understand?"

"I understand! Boss!" The old brothers pulled their necks and shouted in unison. Their roar scared the new Zhao Jiabao, but they also agreed with Xiao Tianjian's words, and they also saw the result of these people getting together.

Next, Xiao Tianjian poured a basin of cold water on these guys: "After that battle the day before yesterday, everyone thought we were great? Can you walk sideways in the future?"

When he asked, Zhao Erlu and Tietou really felt a little complaed. Although they did not dare to answer Xiao Tianjian's question directly, their meaning was shown on everyone's face.

"Don't be happy too early. In my opinion, your performance that day is not worth mentioning at all! Speaking of which, we won a complete victory. To put it bluntly, it's just a fluke! If I hadn't killed Li Mazi, I believe there would have been someone else who would turn around and run away like him! And you all knew that day that the officers and soldiers were slacking, so that we took advantage of the loopholes and caught them off guard! If we push it over with dignity and prepare the time for the officers and soldiers, then the result of the war must not be like this!

Long shooter, think about it yourself! When I ordered the stabbing that day, did your gun go out according to my order? When I asked you to shoot and kill, what was the result? Some people are looking to the left, some are going to the right, and some people are going down. It's a mess. Some people are so scared that they can't stab it out at all. They just care about quivering. Some people's legs and stomachs are so weak that they can't even walk! Fortunately, the group of officers and soldiers are even more rabbled. Even so, they have been beaten by you. Otherwise, with your performance, you will definitely be taken advantage of by the other party and kill you! You are just a little better than the rabble!" Xiao Tianjian roared at these guys with a sarcastic sneer at the corners of his mouth.

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's comments on them, these guys were immediately discouraged. Originally, they thought they were good, but looking back on their performance that day, it was really like what Xiao Tianjian said. When most people acted, their minds were blank, saying that they Their legs and stomachs turned tendons, which was to lift them. Some people were so scared that they almost peed their pants when the officers and soldiers rushed up. The main reason why they won was that they were beaten by Xiao Tianjian's bamboo military stick during this period, which formed a little instinct to obey the password. Some people still forgot their left and right when shooting. When he poked it out, he was also soft and weak.

After thinking about this point clearly, these people were really a little ashamed. They collapsed one after another and dared not look at Xiao Tianjian again.

Since the practice is useful, now they no longer have any resistance to such hard practice. After all, this is the only rule for them to save their lives. If they don't practice well, they will die at any time, so Xiao Tianjian will be easier in the next practice.

And those who are new to the gang are also integrated into the team by him, but there is a problem, that is, these people have no experience in battle, and it is difficult to choose a few knives and shields. Xiao Tianjian simply organized these new people into long spearmen. In the collective battle, the long spearmen act uniformly, Wei The strength is quite good, and this is also a helpless move. We can only wait for these people to have experience in battle in the future before choosing people to serve as knives and shields.

After summarizing the experience of this battle, Xiao Tianjian also felt that they had a very serious problem, that is, the lack of long-range weapons. The reason why this battle was easy to win was largely because they were caught off guard by those officers and soldiers, so that they had no chance to shoot arrows. If they fought this time Wait, if the officers and soldiers are prepared, as long as a few archers release arrows, then they can't force the officers and soldiers to come closer, and they will disperse by themselves because they can't bear the loss because of their own quality.

There are two ways to solve this problem. One is to have an archer or a gunner on your side as a long-range suppression means to suppress the other party's long-range firepower. The second way is to let everyone wear armor and use armor to resist the enemy's bow and arrow attack.

But at present, Xiao Tianjian still can't do any of it. The level of equipment of these defeated soldiers is not much better than what they say, and there is almost no armor. Although the tattered mandarin ducks on their bodies can provide a little defense, it is also limited to defending bows and arrows, when facing long guns and knives. Hou, this tattered mandarin duck coat alone can't play much role at all. Only the leader wears a piece of cotton armor on his body. However, after this cotton armor is seized, it can only be provided to Xiao Tianjian for hanging, which can't meet the needs of others at all.

Xiao Tianjian is very interested in the armor of this era. After seizing this set of cotton armor, he carefully observed and figured out the defense ability of this kind of cotton armor. The cotton armor of this era is actually made of coarse cloth sandwiched cotton. I heard Zhao Jiabao's blacksmith say that in coarse cloth. After sewing the cotton, it is necessary to soak it in water, spread it on the ground hard, and then dry it. The better cotton armor is also decorated with iron sheets, which are nailed on the cotton armor with copper nails to enhance defense. It can effectively defend against the attacks of long-range arrows and muskets. In winter, it also has a certain anti-cold effect.

And the pair of cotton armor they seized is quite old. The red cloth outside has seriously faded. I don't know what year it was made. Although there are some iron pieces in it, it is obviously a product to cut corners. Only a few iron pieces were nailed in key parts, and even the limited iron pieces were rusted. There are still a few pieces missing. I don't know if it can provide effective protection. It's really not a good thing. At best, it's only a little better than nothing.

For practice, with his previous experience, Xiao Tianjian is much more familiar with it. Anyway, now he has a lot of food for these guys to eat, so now he doesn't need these people to produce anything at all. He just needs to train them vigorously and let them form as soon as possible. The combat effectiveness is good.

After having the foundation of being full, physical training can also be guaranteed. In addition to the five-kilometer cross-country twice a day in the morning and evening, it is the practice of the queue. The effect of stick education is much more effective than verbal reprimand. Of course, Xiao Tianjian's subordinates are ruthless. As long as he does something wrong, it is a stick. Anyway, he is not afraid of it. These people were not convinced, and they made them cry and cry, but the effect was still good. If they were beaten more, they would have a natural memory. Soon they knew how to line up, how to walk step by step, and how to change their formation.

In addition, with the old brothers in front of them taking the lead, one person is responsible for bringing a newcomer. The practice is much faster than the first time. In a few days, these new guys can line up a more neatly with the previous guys.

Then there is the action training of assassination. Xiao Tianjian doesn't have much ability. The only thing he can teach them is straight assassination. He only requires them to be neat and uniform when they take action. They should move as fast as possible, and they should use full strength. There is no fancy to speak. He is also strictly required not to take other actions. Every day Everyone has to do such assassination moves at least a thousand times. In this way, the speed of practice is very fast. In less than ten days, these new and old guys have practiced the assassination action much better.

However, there is still a gap between people. Although some of the newcomers are a little confused about practicing this, I have to admit that some people seem to be born with this. At least among the newcomers, there is a person named Li Shuanzhu, who is very outstanding.

Li Shuanzhu used to be a foreign blacksmith. He only moved to Zhaojiabao in recent years. It may be because he has been practicing iron since he was a child. His waist and arm strength are very outstanding. When practicing the assassination action, his arms are very stable, and the barrel does not tremble at all. The action of each assassination is in place, and he is full of strength. That's why In a few days, the assassination he practiced was very good! Even compared with the movements of most old brothers who have been practicing for a period of time, it is much more standardized. Even Zhao Erlu has to shake his head and sigh, saying that this person is really annoying!

Although this kind of training is very hard and monotonous, the veterans have tasted the benefits brought to them, so when practicing, they are very attentive, and those newcomers have also seen how hard they do it. Although the sticks are intertious, they are hard to beat them. It's worth saying, but these people can only endure it. After all, although they are bitter here, they are not stingy enough to make them eat. It's worth the world to suffer a little for this full meal.

Especially when these newcomers saw that each of the veterans also gave two taels of silver rewards, they became more energetic. When they used to farm, a family might not be able to save so much money in a year, but now they can pay so much rewards when they watch them fight. This kind of thing can't be seen in a few years. For the peasants of money, it is really a huge **. In addition, Xiao Tianjian really saved them and avenged them, so even if they were trained by Xiao Tianjian, these newcomers still gritted their teeth and persisted.
