The sun is rising and the red light shines, and it is another good day.
It seemed that because of the unsuccessful siege, the Sumo-Mi army also stopped continuing the meaningless attack and was busy making siege equipment.
In Andong City, in addition to the Fifth Mansion Army on the rotation to guard the city, more than 20,000 civilians who came from Youbei with Zhao Xun were also actively training. These 20,000 civilians were part of the original 50,000, and 50,000 civilians were successively
During the attack on the three eastern prefectures, they were either damaged or added to the second or fifth prefectures, or returned home due to injuries, and finally 40,000 people were left.
They were divided into two, and they followed the two prefecture troops and were stationed in Andong City and Liao Tun City. Zhao Xun's plan was to organize them into formal troops.
There was not enough military capital? After defeating Sumo and the Liaodong Kingdom, they had everything. Now, even their weapons were captured from the Marine Army. The civilians naturally had Marine Army prisoners and Han people, and implemented a system of joint positions.
One person ran away, killed ten people, ten people ran away, killed hundreds... After they were asked to execute a group of Marine nobles with their own hands, Zhao Xun asked the Han people and some of the well-behaved Marine people to be officials and command these civilians, namely the baggage camp.
Zhao Xun has been practicing military posture selection in his own army. Standing military posture is to temper the soldiers' tenacious will, hone the soldiers' perseverance, and cultivate steel-like discipline. Only in this way can he achieve the goal of not losing his fighting spirit under any circumstances.
.This is also training soldiers to obey military discipline and obey themselves.
The Beida Campus in Andongcheng City is closest to Beicheng and the largest campus in the entire Andongcheng City. Now it is the training ground for 20,000 people.
The soldiers were divided into countless small teams on the entire school ground, and were training, with various commands constantly.
Today, Zhao Xun also came to take a look at these recruit trainings that are not recruits.
When Zhao Xun arrived, he saw a group of soldiers running around the schoolyard desperately, sweating profusely. They ran one by one and were running out of breath, and they were just stuck out their tongues and dissipating heat like dogs.
I'm angry.
Ajili, the prefect of Andong Prefecture who came with Zhao Xun and former leader of the Marine Army of Andong Prefecture, said in confusion: "General, is this the training method of the Xiaoguo Army? Let the soldiers run?"
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "This is just a part of it. If you train physical fitness, the soldiers will marching urgently. Don't you need to run? Not all places can ride horses, and not all soldiers have war horses. Many times, time determines a game.
The victory or not of the battle.”
Ajili nodded thoughtfully and didn't say much. There are also running exercises in the army, but most of them are not mandatory and rigid regulations. But he also felt that Zhao Xun's words were reasonable and that he could run was indeed a decision in many cases.
The key to victory or defeat.
The physical training of the new recruits of Xiaoguo Army is not only long-distance running, but also a series of projects such as leapfrogs, weight-bearing running, team collaboration, etc.
Zhao Xun's idea is very simple. In this era, it was the era of cold weapons, but the physical fitness requirements for soldiers are no less than modern times, or even more important. The most important one is physical strength. The soldiers of this era have no exception to cavalry.
The tools for transportation, a sound of armor, weapons, and even shields, long bows and quiver pots, you can imagine how much weight the body is. How to fight if you lack physical strength?
If a battle lasts too long and there is no rest in the middle, then in the end, the weight of the body will be exhausted even if the enemy is killed.
Therefore, in the training of recruits, the first one is naturally to be loyal to themselves, and the second one is to obey orders and strictly abide by military discipline. Neither of these are the themes of formal training. The main one is naturally to strengthen the physical strength of the soldiers.
Therefore, Zhao Xun's recruit training starts training every morning, first conducts basic physical training, and then masters various weapons, team training, military formations, etc.
Not only that, the rapid response ability of the troops must be trained to deal with emergency gatherings at night. This is specially used to deal with special situations such as ambushing, sneak attacks, and night attacks during wars.
In addition to these trainings, there will be a small amount of special training, such as learning battlefield rescue and medical care. After all, in the era of cold weapons, most soldiers did not die directly at the hands of the enemy, but were injured and not received in time.
Treatment. Especially for some injuries such as excessive blood loss and wound infection, more than half of the injured soldiers died in these situations. Learning simple battlefield treatment can help you cooperate with the military medical battalion.
The number of casualties of the general was reduced. Therefore, there were also very powerful medical soldiers in the Xiaoguo Army. Of course, these could only provide simple treatment to the soldiers.
In addition, the soldiers can also choose whether to take the night literacy course. This free choice, if you are willing to participate, you can freely go to the designated camps to study at night.
After taking a look at the general training of the new recruits of the Xiaoguo Army, Ajili thought that many of them were targeted, but also said that he didn't know much about some, and that the military posture was one of them. Ajili personally tried it, but he didn't.
After a long time, he couldn't hold on, but he hadn't seen the effect of this training. He even joked that this kind of training could be used to punish soldiers.
"Reported to the general, the craftsman's camp, and the news came from the general that the things that were made by the general were complete." A soldier came to report.
When Zhao Xun heard this, he was very happy and immediately said goodbye to everyone. The craftsmen of our residence were the camp station, which was in the big house next to the general's mansion.
After the mixing a few days ago, the most reasonable ratio was finally developed. After mixing the nitrate, sulfur and charcoal in proportion, black gunpowder appeared, and with the correct ratio, Zhao Xun made it all at once.
A lot of it.
Then he wet the black powder with water, and when it was about to be turned into small particles, the reason why it was made into particles was because granular gunpowder was more powerful than powder. In this kind of thing, power was naturally a good thing.
.But he didn't dare to dry it directly, and there was no hurry to use it, so Zhao Xun ordered the craftsmen to spread him out and dry him slightly to increase safety.
By the time Zhao Xun rushed back to the craftsman to build a camp, the finished black gunpowder product had already come out.
"Okay?" Zhao Xun said in surprise.
The general who was in charge of the military craftsman's camp nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do what the general told me."
"Where is the firing wire? Has it been made?"
"This was made after the gunpowder was made and it was made of black gunpowder wrapped in fine cotton thread mixed with wet gunpowder. We tried it and basically met the general's requirements."
"Get a pottery jar!" Zhao Xun said happily immediately. The truly powerful thing has finally come out, and at that time it will give the northern barbarians a good look.
Zhao Xun took the pot of clay handed over by his soldiers and carefully put the black gunpowder into a pottery. Although the black gunpowder was also gunpowder, it was not very powerful. In order to make up for this shortcoming, Zhao Xun prepared to put all the ones in the
The larger gunpowder products are made. Blasting the city walls, throwing them at the enemy's crowd, or casting them with catapults are all weapons that bring great lethality to the enemy. No, it should be said to be magical tools.
A few finished products were made into ten kilograms of gunpowder jars, so it was time to go to the test next, but Zhao Xun was worried that it would cause panic when he was growing up. Finally, Zhao Xun decided to go out of the west gate and go outside the city to experiment. Although the Mariner was in
The city was besieged, but only the north gate and the east gate were surrounded, and the other two gates were not besieged.
Besides, Zhao Xun also believed that his soldiers in his personal guard camp would never be weaker than the cavalry of the Marine Army, and there was a large army wandering outside the city.
"Wei Dong, summon the soldiers of the personal guard camp and let's go out of the city."
Twenty miles away from the west of Andong City, there is a small valley, and this place is Zhao Xun's purpose. This time, the bomb made by black gunpowder will be tested here, and a magical weapon of the Xiaoguo Army was born.
The black gunpowder is definitely a secret weapon. Although the "ceramic pot bomb" made with black gunpowder is actually not very lethal, the most powerful thing about this thing is the sound and light effect, which is for this thousand years ago.
It's definitely shocking for people.
In addition, if used as ambush, night attack and other battles, the sudden shock of the sky will definitely destroy the morale of the enemy, and even the less-than-desired army may collapse directly.
Zhao Xun also planned to wrap it in cloth and put iron nails and debris inside to make real bombs and explode in the crowd, which is absolutely deterrent.
The small valley is not big, but it is just right for secret test explosions. Don't worry that this secret weapon will be known in advance.
Under the gaze of the soldiers of the guard camp and some of the fifth court assistants and commanders, Wei Dong personally took a pot and walked to a place three hundred meters away from everyone, placed it directly on the ground, and then put it two meters long
The fuse is inserted into the clay pot.
"Lord, you're ready, are you igniting the fire now?"
Zhao Xun didn't know the effect of this clay pot. He looked at the distance and found that there was nothing in the clay pot that could be shot. There should be no problem.
"Wei Dong, after you lit the line of fire, you will run back here immediately. Did you hear it?" Zhao Xun said again. Zhao Xun couldn't rest assured that there were no dangerous goods for security checks.
Wei Dong said carelessly: "I understand!" But looking at his eyes, it seemed that Zhao Xun kept explaining it along the way, and he was a little stressed.
Zhao Xun said along the way that these pots can explode, making thunderous sounds, and they have great power, making everyone skeptical. But no one dared to underestimate this pot, after all, there were ingredients added to it.
, Who knows what changes will happen?
Three hundred meters, this distance is already far from the clay pot, and the clay pot only had a black spot in everyone's eyes. Everyone understood at this time that the clay pot contained what the lord said
There was gunpowder. Everyone was full of curiosity and expectation about this thing. They wanted to see with their own eyes how this small pot made thunder and could also be used to kill people.
If Zhao Xun said, this inconspicuous clay pot will bring extraordinary results.
