Chapter 89 Three-edgings

(The third update has arrived, and the promise has been fulfilled! Wow, praise yourself first, this is nearly 12,000 words! I'm exhausted! Don't the rich man show it? Hey hey!)

After a short period of training in Fanjiabao, under the leadership of veterans, the 200 soldiers have been basically familiar with the training of the queue. The knife and shield hand and the long gunner have begun to carry out combat training. With the previous experience, the spearman's thrust training is much simpler. Under the leadership of the veterans, a People train five recruits, and the progress reassures Xiao Tianjian.

Knife and shield hand training is more complicated, but because Xiao Tianjian only emphasizes team combat, the requirements for personal martial arts are not high, and more requirements are mutual cover and cooperation, so after Yan Chongxi's training, the training of these knife and shield hands is simpler, and the repetition is only a few most simple and effective. The killing action is repeated hundreds or thousands of times a day. Even pigs can form an instinctive conditioned reflex, not to mention people. Therefore, compared with the training of long gunners, although the training effect of their knife and shield hand is slower, they don't have to worry too much about the speed of progress!

As soon as they arrived at Tianlongzhai, it became a large training ground. The shouting of killing all day long was not stopped, and the shouting of the officers was mixed with it, which made the birds and beasts in Tianlongzhai shocked.

With the rewards and punishments for training, the training craze of Xing Tianjun has been higher than the wave. Xiao Tianjian tried his best to launch various incentives to mobilize his enthusiasm for training.

Anyway, everything here is ready-made. Tianlongzhai has not suffered any damage due to the change of its owner, and there is no need for too much reconstruction work at all. After the inspection, Xiao Tianjian just let the soldiers build a few more arrow towers in several dangerous places to monitor the movement outside the mountain, so a large number of soldiers actually There is nothing to do. Xiao Tianjian doesn't plan to regard this place as his long-term base, so he doesn't plan to let the soldiers engage in any basic production work at all.

In addition, since August of the sixth year of Chongzhen last year, there has been almost no rain in this area of Shaanxi, and the land is dry and there is no water. Even if he wants to open up wasteland and cultivate land, he can't solve the problem of irrigation for a while. Therefore, it is more cost-effective to train soldiers with all his strength than to waste manpower and material resources. .

So after he arrived at Tianlongzhai, not only the soldiers had to carry out high-intensity training, but also these soldiers had to undergo more strict training.

In addition to the necessary dry and miscellaneous personnel, Xiao Tianjian selected nearly 300 people from the soldiers and devoted himself to full-time training.

These 300 new recruits are different from ordinary soldiers in treatment, and they can also enjoy the treatment of three meals a day, but they are not as good as the food for the soldiers. Xiao Tianjian once again set up another name, calling them new barracks, as supplementary members of the soldiers, and when necessary, to cooperate with the soldiers to engage in actual combat.

However, the instructor candidate for the new barracks made Xiao Tianjian scratch his head a little. His army was still in intense training, and he could not draw any manpower for a while. At least before all the training subjects that had been formulated were completed, he had no way to draw manpower to train these new recruits.

It turned out that the two platoon leaders of the army had limited ability and asked them to train these new recruits. Xiao Tianjian was worried that it would not work. After thinking about it, he could only send a few slightly injured people who had just recovered to the new barracks and serve as instructors of the new barracks.

These minor casualties who were injured in the battle of Fanjiabao are all Xiao Tianjian's old subordinates. Everyone has received Xiao Tianjian's training to a certain extent. After the battle of Fanjiabao, they have not returned to the team for the time being due to injuries. Now all of them have been captured by Xiao Tianjian and assigned to the new barracks as instructors.

And these wounded, after experiencing a passing experience with Death, have also become much more fierce. As soon as they return to the school, they become fierce one by one. The command is loud, and a group of recruits turn up to the trainers and complain.

After seeing the performance of these new instructors, Xiao Tianjian was a little relieved. Although these so-called instructors are not experienced in training new recruits, at least these guys are also personally ** by him. Everyone has more or less learned some of his skills to train new recruits, although experience It's not enough, but it's also useful. Xiao Tianjian doesn't have the energy to act as an instructor in person. He can only let them temporarily cross the river by feeling the stones and summarize their own experience in training new recruits.

And Xiao Tianjian himself immediately turned his attention to weapons.

Because of the rapid expansion of his generals, the shortage of weapons has become more and more serious. At present, there are many people who are not enough for each person to have a javelin, not to mention these soldiers and new soldiers. Up to now, most of the 300 new recruits in the new barracks battalion have taken it. It is a bamboo gun made from bamboo. Once you encounter a large number of enemies, it is not a reassuring thing to hold a bamboo gun. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian believes that it is necessary to solve the problem of weapons for his subordinates as soon as possible.

As soon as the training of the new barracks was temporarily settled, Xiao Tianjian commanded several blacksmiths in the army and set up a blacksmith's workshop in the cove behind Tianlongzhai.

This blacksmith's shop is not just open, at least the most basic anvil and other tools! At least they have captured these things in Tianlongzhai and Fanjiabao. Even the set that Li Shuanzhu brought out in Zhaojiazhuang can also be used.

In addition, it is the problem of iron furnaces and raw materials. It is necessary to build several iron furnaces and provide these blacksmiths for melting iron. These things need to be done step by step. Several blacksmiths can also do this, which is not a problem. As for the iron materials for making weapons, they now have some from Fanjiabao and Tianlongzhai. The iron and inappropriate weapons obtained from ploughshares and other things can solve the problem of some iron materials for the time being. In a short time, it is not realistic to get more iron materials. Unless he can get the line of the merchants who deal with iron materials in this area now, otherwise, he can't buy iron materials. After all, this area is in chaos. Generally speaking, the government's iron control is very strict, and there is no place to buy it if you want to buy it!

Then there is the problem of fuel. Coal is indispensable for iron stoves, but coal also needs to be bought. It is not only inconvenient to transport, and it is very dangerous, so we have to use self-fired charcoal to solve this problem. The blacksmith said that using charcoal has another advantage than using coal, that is, the quality of the weapons made will be better, Xiao Tianjianzhuo After grinding, it makes sense. After all, there will be some impurities such as sulfur in coal. When molting molten iron water, it will penetrate into the iron. Of course, it will affect the quality of the weapon to a certain extent. Charcoal is less of these impurities, and the quality of the weapon will naturally be much better.

Although he is a mechanical student, he is not good at ironmaking, so this kind of thing can only be left to these insiders. He just put forward his personal opinion.

After fighting with people two or three times, he also found a problem with the long gun they use now, that is, the quality of the head of the gun is not good enough. When it ts into the human body or strong things, the tip of the long gun they use often bends or breaks, and the tip of the gun is not strong enough. This The side will greatly affect the effect of their battle.

After thinking about it, Xiao Tianjian made a gun head-shaped model with a hardwood and a sharp dagger, which was given to several blacksmiths to watch.

"Can you create a new gun head according to the style of gun head I cut?" After Xiao Tianjian put down the wooden gunhead, he asked several blacksmiths.

These blacksmiths came over to watch and nodded one after another, "If you go back to the big boss, it should be no problem for the little ones to make such a gun head, but this kind of gun head takes more time than the ordinary gun head!" Like an ordinary gun head, I can make two or three in a day, but I'm afraid that each person can only build one every day to make such a three-edgonal gun head!"

It turns out that the head of the gun made by Xiao Tianjian is, to put it bluntly, is a three-edged thorn, with a length of about a foot. There is also a blood groove between each two, with a hollow iron handle at the back. At the end of the head of the gun, there are two raised wings, which can effectively prevent the gun head from pierced into the human body so deep that it is pulled out sleepy. Difficult.

Such a three-edged thorn is equipped with a barrel and becomes a long gun. If it is not installed on a long gun, it can be held as a short blade in your hand, which is really a killing weapon.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Tianjian wants to create such a three-edged thorn is that the source of thought is still from the Type 56 rifle he used in his later military training. The Type 5 and 6 rifle is equipped with a three-edged thorn. According to veterans, such a three-edged bayonet is extremely strong, and it can almost poke a bowl with a gun. The thick tree is pierced, and it also ensures that the bayonet will not bend.

And according to the veteran, this kind of bayonet also has the notoriety of a poisonous knife. There are rumors that this kind of military thorn is poisonous on it, and it will make people poisoned after stabbing the human body. However, Xiao Tianjian thinks it is just a rumor. The real reason is that the three-edged thorn itself has a high strength that is difficult for general bayonet to have due to structure.

Moreover, after the human body is generally pierced by the knife and gun, the muscles will contract violently, and the knife and gun that enters the body will be tightly "absorbed" can even deform and make it more difficult to pull out, affecting the user's continued movement, while the three-edged thorns can ensure that the air will be imported into the human body after being stabbed into the human body. To avoid "suctioning" the tip of the gun because of the pressure of the human cavity, the gun holder can easily pull out the tip of the gun, and will not be unable to pull it out because of the contraction of the muscles of the human body.

As for the poisonous knife, it's just a misrepresentation. The real cause of wound ulceration is that the wound caused by three-edgings is almost torn. The wound is triangular or square, which is difficult to stop bleeding, and it is inevitable that there will be rust or grease and dirt on the tip of the gun. When the bayonet enters the body, it is easy to be A large number of them are carried into human wounds, which is difficult to clean or suture, so it is easy to cause wound infection, so it is rumored that the three-edging bayonet is poisonous.

Now he is really limited in ability. If he is stronger and has more resources, he even wants to equip swords and shield soldiers and musketeers with this kind of thorn. After all, the stabbing action is in a straight line and the speed will be faster than the chopping action. Some, the battle with the enemy on the battlefield is speed, which can often determine the life and death of the enemy in an instant, and the lethality of the straight stabbing is obviously much greater than that of chopping. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian's heart sums that once he occupies a base in the future, he will make as many of these three-edged thorns as possible to equip his men. .

In addition, Xiao Tianjian has another purpose of making this kind of three-edged thorn, which is to use such a three-edged thorn to reduce the deformation of his long gunman's movements. Because the three-edged thorn is not like the ordinary gun tip. There are sharp edges on both sides of the ordinary gun tip. Some long guns will shake the long guns if they do not move manually. They want to use the long gun as a machete, and the three-edged thorn The three edges do not open the blade. Except for going straight to kill the enemy, sweeping horizontally may not be better than a stick. Therefore, replacing the ordinary gun tip with this kind of gun head can be said to kill many birds with one stone, which not only improves the strength of the tip of the gun, but also improves the lethality of the long gun, and also allows users to think about other things about the long gun. Usage to ensure the consistency of collective action during assassination.

You should know that with the medical level of this era and the human body's own resistance, as long as you get such a three-edged thorn, no matter where you are stabbed, you can basically guarantee that the life of the person who was stabbed has gone, and there will hardly be any injuries left. It's really a good thing, like Xiao Tianjian. Naturally, the chauvinist will not give up.

"As long as it can be made, try to make the quenching process better and make the gun head harder! As for it, it's okay to slow down, you just have to build it!" Xiao Tianjian told several blacksmiths.

Several blacksmiths quickly bowed to take orders and began to be busy preparing to start work.
