The Zhuge repeater is limited by the launch box, not only the length of the crossbow arrow is only eight inches, but also the tail is not pasted with feathers, which is a short and concise featherless crossbow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This featherless crossbow has a small hole near its tail to calm the air vortex, so that the crossbow can fly smoothly without tail feathers.

"Whoosh ......"

Li An operated the Zhuge Repeater and shot ten featherless crossbow arrows in the box in succession.

"General, all of them hit the target."

The soldiers of the Long Wu Army immediately ran over, took down the arrow target full of ten crossbow arrows, and brought it to Li An.

Li An took the target and carefully observed the position of the arrow and the depth of the arrow into the target.

"Yes, it's very powerful, it's all penetrated by the target, and the accuracy is a little worse, but it's better to be able to fire continuously, not bad, not bad."

Li An was very satisfied with the power of the Zhuge Repeater.

"How many of these Zhuge repeaters have been made? How many crossbow bolts are there? ”

"General Hui, three hundred repeaters have been made, and there are 30,000 crossbow arrows, and the craftsmen are still rushing to work."

Li An nodded, left the workshop where the Zhuge Repeater was made, and went to the blacksmith's workshop.

Since the discovery of the gold mine, Li An no longer has to worry about the problem of insufficient money, for this reason, after the gold mine officially began to operate, he hired a group of craftsmen from Luzhou City, responsible for repairing ordnance for the Pingnan Army, manufacturing iron tufts, and of course, making all kinds of urgently needed items for Li An.

Ang Lee walked into the blacksmith shop and handed over the drawings he had just drawn last night to several blacksmiths.

"General, what kind of armor is this, I've never seen it."

The blacksmith took the drawings drawn by Ang Lee with a look of surprise.

This is made by Ang Lee based on the armor of the West in later generations, with slight modifications, and it is a heavy armor that is enough to resist all crossbow shots.

Even the mask on the head is made in rows of small holes, which allow people to see the outside, but crossbow arrows cannot be shot into these small holes.

The fingers are also wrapped in iron armor, and the flexibility of the fingers is not affected in the slightest.

This kind of armor, the blacksmith in Luzhou, naturally it is impossible to see it, but the principle of this thing is not complicated, as long as it takes a little time to ponder, it can still be made.

"This is the heavy armor that Ben will design, you guys have to figure out how to make it."

"Don't worry, general, we will do our best."

Ang Lee nodded and walked back to Midvalley.

Nan Jiyun's reconnaissance team, led by five bandit captives, divided into five routes to investigate five nearby bandit nests.

Since everyone was wearing invisibility cloaks, it was difficult to be found in the dense forest, so they successfully touched the vicinity of the bandits' lairs all the way, and dispersed to investigate these bandits' lairs.

After completing the task, the reconnaissance team did not dare to make a mistake, immediately evacuated, returned to the Hulugu camp, and reported the basic situation to Li An.

"Have you investigated clearly, and there are less than 100 people in these bandit lairs?"

Ang Lee asked.

"General rest assured, the soldiers have been lurking for most of the day, and it can be seen from the number of houses, but they are all small bandits, the number of them is definitely not more than a hundred, and the camp is not strong enough, my reconnaissance team can easily destroy them."

Nan Jiyun said confidently.

Li An smiled and nodded: "Since the scale of these bandits is very small, let's eliminate them all in one fell swoop, let your people go back to rest immediately, and be responsible for leading the way after dark." ”

"Yes, General."

Nan Jiyun received the order and turned to leave the big tent.

Li An took the map on the table, and gently drew a small pennant at the location of the bandit's lair that was detected, plus the bandit's lair that had been eliminated, and the map in Li An's hand had been marked with six small flags.

"Big brother, what are you doing with such a small flag on the map, Ao, I understand, it must represent the location of the bandit's lair."

As soon as Li Kunxiong opened his mouth to ask, he immediately guessed the answer.

"That's right, each flag represents a bandit's nest, and now, on this picture, we have found six bandit nests in the mountains, and I believe there must be more bandit nests, waiting for us to discover."

Li An said.

At this moment, looking at the map in front of him, Li An has a feeling of demining, just like a minesweeping game in later generations, every newly bought computer has it, as long as the player successfully clears the mine, the location of all mines on the map will be planted with a small flag, representing the victory of minesweeping.

These many bandit nests hidden in the mountains and forests are hidden mines for Li An, and they must be pulled out one by one, not only so that the people of Luzhou can live and work in peace and contentment, but also to better complete the task of pacifying and planing the land.

After all, the situation in the land is somewhat complicated, and Luzhou, as the rear of the Pingnan Army, must be stable and safe, and if the bandit problem in Luzhou is not resolved, the Pingnan Army will have worries about going south.

"Kunxiong, Feiyu, do you know? If you want to quell the turmoil in Luzhou, you must first stabilize Luzhou, and only when Luzhou is stable, can the Pingnan army have no worries and can better participate in counterinsurgency. ”

Ang Lee said meaningfully.

"What the eldest brother said is that Luzhou is close to the planing land, and the bandits are really serious, and they must all be exterminated."

"In just half a month of training, the Pingnan Army has already achieved good combat effectiveness, and quelling the bandits is just around the corner."

Li An nodded and said, "Tonight, the eldest brother plans to send the five-way army to attack at the same time, wipe out all these five bandit nests in one fell swoop, and kill the bandits' arrogance again." ”

"Five ways to attack at the same time, big brother is big! Let me lead the way? ”

"Big brother, let me lead the way too."

Li Kunxiong and Li Feiyu still wanted to continue to make meritorious contributions and asked for their lives.

Li An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay, big brother will give you this opportunity, Kunxiong, you lead the third regiment, Feiyu, you lead the fourth regiment, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh regiments will be handed over to Shouyu, Guangsheng and Nan Jiyun!" The eldest brother and the second cow stayed in the gourd valley. ”

"Yes, big brother, we will definitely complete the task."

Li Kunxiong and Li Feiyu were very excited.

Li An admonished: "This time the operation is large-scale, the five men and horses are acting at the same time, most of the men and horses of my Pingnan army have been transferred, you must complete the task excellently, try to avoid casualties, oh, by the way, it would be better if you could capture a few prisoners, just like last time." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, as long as these bandits lay down their arms and surrender, we will not kill any of them, and we will all take them prisoners."

"Okay, I'll hand it over to a few of you, the eldest brother is very relieved, you immediately go to give the order, so that all the teams that operate at night immediately stop training and return to the camp to rest."

Li An ordered.

"Yes, big brother, I'll give the order."

After the two left, Ang Lee continued to ponder, and made a detailed plan for the details of the night operation, and found out the shortcomings of the operation details and adjusted them.

In this operation, Li An decided to let go of a few subordinates, and sat in the gourd valley waiting for the news of the triumph, the reason why he did this was because of his subordinates, but also because of his great trust in the Pingnan army.

Li An believed that the officers and men of the Pingnan Army were all good, and they were able to complete the task of suppressing the bandits, and the results of the battle were bound to be extremely brilliant.

In the evening, the baggage group prepared a delicious meal, and the rest of the various groups got up to eat.

Due to the night operation, the requirements for night vision ability are relatively high, so Li An instructed the baggage regiment to increase the nutrition of the soldiers to eliminate the possibility of night blindness among the soldiers.

In this era, due to lack of nutrition, most people are guilty of night blindness, and night blindness is characterized by not being able to see clearly or at all in a dim environment at night.

This disease is caused by a lack of vitamin A, and as long as you eat more animal liver or carrots, you can quickly recover, and if you eat these things regularly, night blindness will not occur.

Li An has long been concerned about the problem of night blindness, and for this reason, he has been supplementing the officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Army with a variety of nutrients, so when he was operating at night, he supplemented all the soldiers with pork liver to further prevent the soldiers from developing eye blindness.

After dinner, the officers and men of the 1st reconnaissance team of the Pingnan Army and the 3rd to 7th Combat Regiments assembled near the exit of the West Valley, and waited for Li An's order, as long as Li An gave the military order, they could immediately go to the battlefield.

The location and situation of the five bandits' dens were only known to the first reconnaissance team, which was responsible for leading the way and assaulting in five directions, and the 3rd to 7th combat regiments were the main force of the battle, responsible for exterminating the bandits.

"General, the soldiers are all assembled and ready to set off at any time."

Li An looked at Kunxiong, Feiyu, Shouyu, Guangsheng and Nan Jiyun, and said: "Tonight, our army's five-way soldiers and horses will move together, before dawn tomorrow, you must return safely, okay, let's go immediately!" ”

The soldiers and horses of the five roads left the gourd valley in turn, and with the help of the hazy moonlight, they rushed to the five bandit lairs.

Since Li An personally led the soldiers of the Pingnan Army to raid the bandits' lair, the bandits near Luzhou have become frightened birds, and their vigilance is much higher than usual, but it is just to strengthen vigilance, after all, they are still quite confident in the geographical location of their lair, and they are lucky to think that the Pingnan Army will not find their lair.

The five soldiers and horses launched an operation at the same time, raiding five bandit dens with lightning speed, annihilating the bandits who were still asleep in one fell swoop, and capturing a large number of bandits.

This time the operation was still smooth, the five people were fully prepared, closely coordinated, and the reconnaissance team was also very well in place in advance, almost just launched a surprise attack, the bandits could not withstand it, and threw away their weapons and surrendered, and those who did not have time to throw away their weapons were all killed by the soldiers of the Pingnan Army.

Like the last time, after uprooting the bandits' lair, the officers and men of the Pingnan Army burned the bandits' lair, and took away all the property, grain and grass inside as the spoils of this crackdown.

The five routes suppressed the bandits, escorted the captured bandits, and returned to the gourd valley from five directions.

This time, the bandits' lair was far away from the gourd valley, and the distance was also different, so it was not until the sky was already dark that the first group of people returned to the west valley.

"General, the last general successfully completed the task, eighty-nine bandits, twenty-nine were killed, and the remaining sixty bandits were all kidnapped, hehe!"

Nan Jiyun was the first to return to Hulu Valley, and his expression was very bright.

"Yes, the first one to return, how about it, are there any casualties among the soldiers?"

"The general forgives the guilt, two pikemen of the seventh regiment were wounded, but they are not serious, and they will be healed in three or five days."

Nan Jiyun looked a little ashamed, he couldn't keep all the soldiers who participated in the battle intact, he always felt that the task was not completed satisfactorily.

"Okay, it's already very good, take all these bandit captives to Zhonggu and imprison them, I'm tired all night, let the soldiers rest early."

"Yes, General."

Nan Jiyun responded and shouted: "Take them away, escort them all away." ”

Soon, the rest of the four groups also returned to Hulu Valley one after another, and also captured a large number of bandits, and the casualties were also very small, only a few soldiers were injured.

The five bandit suppression teams, with a total strength of more than 1,800 troops, carried out surprise attacks and encirclement and suppression of five bandit lairs and achieved brilliant victories, while the losses of the soldiers were very small, and only less than ten soldiers were wounded, which was basically the same as Li An's previous expectations.

The main force of the last raid was the elite reconnaissance team, but this time it was the combat regiments, which were slightly more injured, which was also the most normal, and the combat strength of the combat regiments was still slightly weaker than the reconnaissance team.

Generally speaking, these two battles were in the case of absolute superiority in troops, and it was normal for them to launch a surprise attack on the rabble bandits and achieve brilliant victories, but the significance of these two operations was very huge, one is to enhance the self-confidence of the officers and men of the Pingnan Army, so that they feel that they are very powerful, so that they are not afraid of bandits at all. The second is to let the soldiers see the blood, so that when they really encounter a vicious battle, they will not feel scared because of nervousness, which is the so-called battlefield adaptability.

After all, everything must be easy first and then difficult, first let the officers and soldiers of the Pingnan Army contact the bandits with low combat effectiveness, cultivate their confidence, enhance their understanding of the battle, and then they can carry out more targeted training step by step, and even, finally, let the soldiers experience fierce battles, so as to further temper their abilities.

This time raided five bandit lairs, killed one hundred and twenty bandits, and captured three hundred and fifty-two bandits, the results were much better than the last time, and the captured booty was naturally many times better, of course, the last time to recover the robbed gold jewelry is not counted.

There are so many prisoners, naturally they have to be escorted to Luzhou City again, Li An has established his authority last time, and let the people of Luzhou understand the strength of the Pingnan Army, after two days, capture more bandits again, which will further enhance the worship of the people of Luzhou for the Pingnan Army.

Li An has decided to personally escort these captured bandits to Luzhou City and behead them in front of the people of Luzhou.

"General."

A bandit who had been subdued by Ang Lee and swore allegiance strode over.

Li An smiled faintly: "You guys did a good job this time, it will be your share of the credit, oh, by the way, what's your name?" (To be continued.) )
