Chapter 44 The javelin
Xiao Tianjian went to visit the wounded every day, examine their wounds, and comfort them to heal their wounds. Such behavior made several wounded people really grateful, especially the newly joined the wounded. They were moved and even cried loudly, vowing to sell their lives to Xiao Tianjian from now on, because they were better than Everyone knows that this is a kind-hearted person like Xiao Tianjian. If Xiao Tianjian hadn't won, even if they stayed in Guzhuang and followed Sha Erbao, as long as they were injured, they would become waste. Sha Erbao would never be so good to them. It's not guaranteed that people would carry them and throw them out of the village and let them live on their own. Self-destructed, there is only one ending, that is, waiting to be pulled away and eaten by wild dogs. It may not be like now. Some people change their medicine every day, eat delicious food, and the boss of the palm plate still comes to visit them every day.
Therefore, Xiao Tianjian's attitude towards these newly injured people moved all the former subordinates of Sha Erbao, and their thoughts were even more stable, and he gradually determined to follow Xiao Tianjian.
The days are still passing day by day. Xiao Tianjian is as busy as the axle. He runs around all day long, either staring at his men and practicing, or going to see the cobbler deal with cowhide, or taking people to the back of the mountain.
At the end of April, the sky had begun to warm up completely, and Xiao Tianjian also ended his mysterious beating. When he began to practice this morning, he came to the temporary school yard with several auxiliary soldiers carrying a large bundle of things.
When everyone looked at it, they found that Xiao Tianjian sent a large bundle of stabbing guns that were about the same length as ordinary people's height.
The barrel of each sting gun is made of local wood. This kind of stingling wood is dense, relatively heavy, and relatively hard. Moreover, the head of each sting gun is also equipped with a sharp iron tip with few materials, which is much shorter than the long gun they use, and also looks very thick. Rough, it looks like a disposable product no matter how you look at it.
Not long after, Jin Tong took several people to the field with a bundle of wooden sticks and put them in front of Xiao Tianjian. After saluteing, he retreated to the side of the school yard and quickly erected a few grass people next to the school yard.
Everyone saw that this bundle of things turned out to be long sticks, about four meters long, and the barrel of the long gun used in their hands was nearly one meter, and they didn't know what Xiao Tianjian was going to do with these things.
"Brothers, you may be thinking about what I got these things for today! And these days, some people also see that I am busy every day, but few people know what I'm busy with! Well, I'll give you an answer today!
Let's talk about this bundle of short guns first! This is not a short gun, but a javelin. Generally speaking, it is not for you to fight with people with them. To be precise, it is for you to throw it out! Come and have a look!"
Xiao Tianjian walked to the front of the bundle of thorn guns, began to say to everyone, and bent down to untie the straw rope bound with the thorn guns, grabbed one casually, turned around and twisted his waist, ran two or three steps, and suddenly threw the javelin out.
He had a long long arm and full strength on his arm. After throwing it hard, the javelin flew out and drew a beautiful arc in the air. With a "poof", the javelin went straight through a grassman 30 steps away and nailed to the ground a few steps behind the grassman. The spear's barrel was especially trembling. Moving.
Everyone couldn't help taking a breath of cold breath and said to himself, "Good boy, your palm plate is really strong. You can't believe you threw this javelin so far away!" And if this thing is stuck in a person, it will definitely not please it!"
Xiao Tianjian is very satisfied with his demonstration this time. The distance of 30 steps is no longer close. He still accurately hit the humanoid target. This accuracy is really good! After throwing the javelin, Xiao Tianjian turned his head and said to his men present, "Everyone has seen that this is the use of this thing. From today on, each of you will add one item in training, that is, throwing this javelin! It is required to throw at least 20 steps away and be able to hit the grass target accurately!
The reason why you are asked to practice this is that in the last battle of Guzhuang, everyone saw that we don't have archers, which is very disadvantageous. At present, I don't expect you to train you to be a sharpshooter, but practicing this is much simpler than practicing bows and arrows. Compared with bows and arrows, this thing is more powerful. We As long as the enemy is met, it will not be good! Although the distance is a little close, as long as you practice this well, we are much more powerful than the opponent's bow and arrow!
Of course, there is also this bundle of wooden sticks on the ground, which is actually a new barrel. From today on, you have to change into this kind of barrel. The reason is that our long gun is longer than the opponent's. In this way, we can win the first opportunity against the opponent's long gunner! Invincible! Last time in Guzhuang, one of our brothers died under the opponent's long gun. Now your gun is longer, and there is nothing we can do with you with a gun!
Each squad leader is in the line to get the javelin and barrel of your class, and immediately start to change the barrel. Today, the javelin training will be added! Training javelers with iron heads are not allowed, and all wooden javelers are used!"
The squad leader of each squad immediately came out of the line, walked to Xiao Tianjian, took the spears and javelers on the ground, took them back and distributed them to their men, and began to work.
It is not difficult to change the barrel. Everyone can do this kind of thing. Even if the head of some people can't be pulled out, with the help of others, they will soon be replaced with a new barrel.
This is what Xiao Tianjian has been busy with these days. He has been thinking about how to improve his long-range fighting ability and make his men have stronger attack ability.
Originally, he wanted these guys to learn from him. Everyone got one or two short axes on their waist and threw them to attack the enemy when they were in battle, but it was not easy to control the flying axe. Xiao Tianjian was arrogant about Xiao Li's flying knife, but playing this often could not guarantee that the axe blade hit the target, and many times it relied on hard. If you smash it to kill the enemy, you don't have to let your subordinates learn his skills.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Tianjian suddenly recalled that later generations seemed to have read a tactic about Ma Chao's Xiliang infantry in some post, which was to beat Cao Cao with a javelin.
Xiliang infantry is not good at bows and crossbows, but they are good at using out-of-handed javels, which may be influenced by the ancient Roman army throwing guns. The combat effectiveness was quite strong at that time. This situation is somewhat similar to Xiao Tianjian's current situation. His subordinates are not good at bowing and crossbows, so if you want to have a certain medium-range and long-range attack ability, this is the only The javelin is optional.
That is, when he had such an idea, he began to arrange to prepare a javelin for his men. Although it seemed to be a historical regression, he had no choice now. He really wanted to equip all his men with AK47, but he had to be talented. Come on! At worst, he also wants to equip his men with the birds of this era, but at the moment, this kind of thing is just looking at the moon in the water, which is an unattainable thing.
So let's reverse history! It is also an emergency plan to make your subordinates have as much attack power as possible!
However, in this way, his team is a little nondescript. In terms of tactics and the concept of military training, he used the method of the modern army in later generations, but the equipment was directly returned to the Han Dynasty, and even far less than the equipment quality of the Han Dynasty army, which made Xiao Tianjian really depressed.
As for the length of the long gun, he also went through repeated exercises. He didn't learn well in later generations and couldn't remember the length of the long gun barrel, so he could only use a stupid method to find a few subordinates to run to the back mountain with various lengths of gun barrels to practice, and finally set the length of four meters at present.
In this era, there are all kinds of long guns, and there are long and short, and different shapes. The longest one is a horse gun. The length of a horse gun is long enough, but it is too thick and too long, bulky to die. It is a dream to let the soldier hold the thrust. It is difficult for a person to hold it, so the gun is too long. It must be guaranteed. The soldier can use it quickly. Finally, after his repeated experiments, the length was determined. After holding the ordinary soldier, he can effectively complete the thrust action. No matter how long it is, it will not work. If it is short, he will lose his advantage.
Fortunately, the materials of these two things are easy to solve. In the mountain where they were hiding, Xiao Tianjian asked Shi Ran to walk around and found a dense ash forest. It may be due to the lack of water and the dense forest, the trunks of this ash tree are straight, and there are few branches, and the age of the tree is also five or six years old. On the top, the slow growth causes the texture of these ash trees to be very dense, which is the best material for making long gun barrels. I cut a batch back, gave it to the carpenter to peel off the bark, and corrected it, and it became a very good barrel.
Although Xiao Tianjian vaguely still remembers a better way to make a gun barrel. It is divided into three layers inside and outside. It is oil-soaking and weaving, and it also needs to be dried. After making it, the knife is constantly cut and full of toughness. However, that method takes too long to make a composite bow. Even if it is compared with building a musket, it is not bad. What, judging from his current situation, don't even think about it.
The problem of the javelin is better solved. Find some hard mountain wood, simply cut it, and let Li Shuanzhu take a few people to create some rough raw iron gun tips and install them. Another advantage is that after throwing them out, this kind of raw iron gun tip is easy to break, so that it is not picked up by the opponent and then given. Throwing it back is equivalent to giving the enemy a weapon and making trouble for yourself. It is completely disposable. When training, you don't even need to install the iron gun head, which saves money and trouble!
