Chapter 91 Backwater Battle

Xiao Tianjian looked at his fiery men who were practicing on the school field in front of him. He was a little proud and nervous. He didn't know where he would take these people to go and where in the future. He didn't know whether he would make such a decision and whether it was fair to them, but he knew that if he didn't resist. In other words, many of these people will not live long, including himself.

Only by bringing these people together can he have the capital to survive in this troubled world. No matter whether his decision is right or wrong, he must do so.

For the upcoming battle, Xiao Tianjian has a general understanding. Although his Xing Tianjun is much smaller than the group of people entangled by Li Lao Wang Ba, it is important for him to unify and make up his mind. Although the opponent is many people, he is indeed forced to be forced into the status of Lao Wang Ba surnamed Li. Together, everyone understands that the strength in the world is the capital. It seems that there are many people, but they will definitely have their own ghosts. No one wants to do this first thing. Some people may even make up their mind to take the opportunity to get a handful. If they can't get it, they will slip away.

So this is also his advantage. On the other hand, what the opponent lacks than him is practice. Maybe many of these people can do some kung fu. If he fight alone, he may not be the opponent at all, but his subordinates emphasize the cooperation of the overall battle array, which is probably the opponent. Absolutely incomparable. I'm afraid that even the officers and soldiers can't do it. What is the combat effectiveness of the guard's army? The pigs understand that a group of poor soldiers who don't have enough to eat and wear warmly want them to win the battle when they are pulled together. It's simply a joke.

Therefore, although Xiao Tianjian is a little nervous in his heart, he seems to be very relaxed on the surface. After arranging the preparations for this battle, he let people perform their own duties and what they should do.

Shi Ran immediately took his scout out of the cottage and closely monitored the situation on the road to Liyang. As soon as there was news, he immediately sent back to the stockade, so that Xiao Tianjian could make preparations in advance.

The rest of the commen and the new battalions continued to step up the drills. At the same time, Xiao Tianjian did not hide the people under him and informed them in advance of the future war.

As soon as these people heard that there would be enemies coming to trouble them, they all became nervous. Although it made some timid people feel uneasy to a certain extent, it was better than waiting for the enemy to come and suddenly tell them the truth, making these people confused.

With this pressure, both the soldiers and the recruits worked harder during the drill, because their officers told them that only by sweating more at ordinary times can they bleed less during wartime! No one will think that their life is long, so they use their strength to breastfeed one by one during the practice.

In a short period of time, it is impossible to train the recruits to the level of soldiers, so Xiao Tianjian asked the recruits to suspend other training, concentrate their time and energy, and only practice the two training subjects of queue and assassination. Anyway, when these recruits go to war, they will be used as reserves. The key is Relying on the soldiers in front, as long as they are not chaotic in the face of the war, after the soldiers defeat the first wave of attacks of the other party, they can go to the battle to practice.

As for the soldiers, after a few days of rectification in Fanjiabao and more than ten days of high-intensity training in Tianlongzhai, various subjects have basically been trained. I dare not say that they have mastered them. At least after two days of exercise, it can be seen that he We have adapted to the discipline of the battlefield, and two hundred people stand in array, which is quite tough.

In terms of weapon supply, it is still very problematic. The newly established blacksmith's shop can't create a large number of three-edging gun heads for a while, so don't think about changing clothes.

The weapons and equipment of the soldiers can also ensure that everyone has a long gun and a knife and shield, but only three of the recruits are equipped with long guns, and the remaining nearly 70% of the recruits can only hold temporary bamboo guns. There is no way to change this, so to improve the quality of the equipment can only wait for this. Let's talk about it after the end of World War I.

Fortunately, after occupying Tianlongzhai this time, they copied a small amount of gunpowder in the warehouse of Tianlongzhai. After remaking, this batch of small amount of gunpowder was also made into granular gunpowder. The performance of the gunpowder took a big step forward, and it was divided into fixed gunpowder, which was distributed to the hands of each fireman.

Moreover, in the past two days, Xiao Tianjian has made an exception to give each fireman two live-fire shots every day, making them more familiar with the practice of shooting in unison. Even the tiger squat gun has asked people to prepare ten fixed medicine bags for it, and carefully maintain the dilapidated tiger squat gun, so that the blacksmith can add it to the cannon of the tiger squat gun. Several iron hoopes were used to ensure that there would be no explosion accident at the time of launch. He also asked Huang Shengqiang to choose a few strong subordinates to serve the tiger squat gun, and formed a temporary gun squad, which was temporarily included in the fireman class and unified to Huang Shengqiang pipe belt.

After Huang Shengqiang was ordered, he was even more enthusiastic. He led a few new subordinates to his subordinates and was busy fiddling with the tiger squat gun all day long. Originally, a rusty tiger squat gun was wiped by them. After a few days, the loading speed increased rapidly, and several strong men carried the tiger squatted. The cannon actually runs very fast. With only half a cup of tea time, it can be equipped with a good tiger squat cannon, which makes Xiao Tianjian have to look at Huang Shengqiang, a tomb thief.

The reason why Huang Shengqiang works so hard is actually because of psychological reasons. He used to be engaged in the business of grave robbers. No one would like him when he saw him. When he followed Wang Tianlong, he was either shouted around or beaten or scolded every day. This day was very bad, but Xiao Tianjian not only did not He looked down on him, but after beating Fan Jiabao, he gave him a monitor to do it. Those firemans who looked down on him suddenly became his subordinates, and this life really raised his eyebrows and exhaled.

This man also knows that this day is hard-won, so he works harder when doing things. In addition, this man is very smart. He can understand the training method mentioned by Xiao Tianjian. This fire class is also well trained by him, so gradually it is more respected by everyone.

Just because of the restrictions, Xiao Tianjian regrets that he still can't equip his men with armor. Even the swords and shieldsmen of the soldiers can't equip each of them with a pair of armor. It turns out that the one or twenty pairs of leather armor made in the old camp can only be equipped with the squad leader first, and even the squad leader of the new barracks has no resources. A pair of matching.

So after Xiao Tianjian occupied Tianlongzhai, he gritted his teeth and killed all the ploughing cattle robbed from Fanjiabao. He made more than 20 pieces of leather armor with simple raw cowhide, which was distributed to the knife and shield hand, at least in the front row of the soldiers. The hand is basically a pair of leather armor for each person to wear.

But what made Xiao Tianjian a little strange was that just after Shi Ran sent back the news, they waited for another four days. The expected enemy still did not come, which made him a little strange. It was like opening the shelf and preparing to fight. After waiting for a long time, they didn't see the opponent, which made people feel a little uneasy. Get up.

Xiao Tianjian didn't know what had happened, and the scouts sent failed to send back useful information, so he could only continue to prepare his men in Tianlongzhai.
