"General, there's a giant deer ahead." A Sima reported to the emperor.

"Oh. That's it. Our army has finally broken away from the ** zone. Huang Fu Song said. Caused them a lot of trouble. This trouble is enough to make their situation worse. Morale is low. In particular, many soldiers have a great sense of fear of **, which makes Huangfu Song very helpless, because he can't crack ** This weapon, unless he can form a professional engineering unit, otherwise, this matter is still difficult to solve. Huangfu Song can only pray that such an opponent is best never encountered on the battlefield, but is this possible? Huangfu Song doesn't think so. On the contrary, he believes that the existence of this Red Turban Army is their biggest trouble, because they have too many unexpected preparations. Moreover, their combat effectiveness and will to fight far exceeded that of the Yellow Turban Army, which was what worried him the most. Maybe that's not the worst of the day, but that's when it really happens. It's time for the biggest disaster. Huangfu Song had always told his subordinates about these things. Because if they were told that they would not understand their own worries, or that they would see them as nothing more than the worries of his commander.

At the station of the Third Brigade, Ma Heng and Zhang Qing were watching the combat drill of the soldiers, and this exercise was in the combat formation of a combat platoon.

"Kill. Kill. Kill. "The spearmen specialized in assassination, and they showed a powerful murderous aura. Especially the veterans, the spears in their hands are poisonous snakes, poisonous snakes that want human life, their eyes are fixed on the target, they don't care about their own life or death, as long as they see it, they will inevitably assassinate their spears.

"Kill." A veteran assassinates his target accurately.

"Okay." The surrounding soldiers were very proud of this assassination technique. Assassination is already a technique that must be passed. In the 3rd Brigade, everyone has good assassination skills, not only shield bearers have to be trained, but even grenadiers must use spears to accurately assassinate opponents. The criterion for assassination is to be able to accurately and quickly stab a grass target. The usual criterion for assessment is that there is a bullseye on it. The soldier must stab three times in a row, accurately and quickly to hit the bull's-eye. Two times is considered a pass, and once is a failure. This requires the soldier's undistracted assassination. There is murder in his eyes, and he can stare at the target alive. Kill each other.

If you think such an assassination is simple, you are wrong. After the assassination, it needs to be quickly withdrawn, and the second assassination can be carried out immediately after the strength is withdrawn. Even three assassinations, the criterion for drawing back is that the target paper is just a hole, and the paper cannot be broken. All the soldiers of the 3rd Brigade practiced assassination techniques.

The veterans' assassination techniques are all perfect because their standards are higher. Because their target papers are all suspended in the air and have no point of effect, such an assassination is more demanding, stable, accurate, and ruthless. The posture of holding the gun should be steady, as if it were a mountain. The assassination target must be accurate, and the target can be accurately assassinated in an extreme time, ruthlessly. This is a requirement in terms of strength, because it is ruthless. So the strength must be fast, because it is ruthless. It's bound to be fast. This is the essence of the assassination of the Third Brigade. In this regard, Shangwu also equipped veterans of the Third Brigade to form an inspection and drill group, which was specially carried out on a large scale in the First Brigade and the Second Brigade.

"Grenadier, up." Under the command of a platoon commander, the grenadier quickly threw his hand **. The reason why the output of hand ** is very limited, the output can not be increased, the reason why it can not be increased is that the demand for glass and copper is large, which is the fundamental reason why they cannot produce large-scale production, but they produce a kind of paper tube made of ** tube, they will wrap a layer of iron beads around it. The explosion was no less powerful than they had hoped. Of course, the way of use is still the way of ignition, which requires them to have a fire rope ready at all times. This kind of burning time is longer after soaking the fire rope in salt water.

"How?" Ma Heng asked Zhang Qing on the side. The purpose of his coming here is to promote his weapons, Shangwu has formed a special artillery, the main task of the artillery is to launch a large number of ***, he needs a very large number of wheelbarrows, he can only set up a special vehicle factory to produce wheelbarrows. Because artillery needs a lot of wheelbarrows.

But the promotion of shoulder-mounted bazookas does not have to be so troublesome. This weapon can be immediately generalized. Zhang Qing came here with such a mission.

"Well, it's kind of interesting, so that when we face the enemy's attack, we can fight head-on with the officers and soldiers." Zhang Qing looked at the formation and said.

The basis of the whole tactic is still a six-man combat team, usually the squad leader, the deputy squad leader to command, a shieldman, a pikeman, a grenadier, a javelinman, maybe equipped with a crossbowman, or two more pikemen, or axemen, these are arranged according to the different combat teams, and the large army formations are all separate infantry, or a certain number of various arms are mixed. The martial tactics of squad and platoon are to carry out large-scale mixed formation, and use this most basic combat group as a unit to form a larger-scale battle group. In this way, the possibility of coordinated operations can be better brought into play. At the same time, they also have the presence of commanding combat personnel, which requires their soldiers to have a higher intelligence. In comparison, these are all higher than the fighting skills and fighting will of the officers and soldiers.

"I think there are still some gaps in your long-range firepower, and I'm here to subsidize this. Take a bazooka. As he spoke, Zhang Qing asked people to come up with bazookas.

"Before touching the enemy, if you release such a bazooka in advance, it will be no less than you have a ballista with a greater effect." Zhang Qing said.

Ballistas can be produced, but the production is still relatively small, only four out every fifteen days. This yield is relatively speaking, not low. But in the face of the large-scale equipment of the troops, this figure is still too low, and in order to strengthen the firepower, Shangwu did not scatter all these things, but concentrated them into artillery. Ballistae are mounted on a platform such as a wheelbarrow, so that they can move quickly and become self-propelled guns.

"Whoosh." After *** ignited, *** flew out at once, exploding one hundred and fifty paces away.

"How?" Zhang Qing said to Ma Heng with a smile.

"Such a weapon, it's great, we don't have to worry about their archers shooting. You know, I've been worried about my troops being attacked by the archers of the opposing side, and those crossbows. Their lethality is the most deadly, my infantry attack distance, the farthest is not more than fifty paces, and the entire battlefield needs to advance five hundred steps, this distance will kill all of us in half, and with such weapons, I don't have to worry. Zhang Qing said. One hundred and fifty steps, not a direct shot, but a certain elevation angle, the best is forty-five degrees, that kind of range is also the largest, the maximum can reach an astonishing three hundred steps, but that is completely luck, the accuracy is extremely poor, but in the ancient era of large-scale group operations, the market for this weapon is still relatively large.

"Is this weapon really the first to equip our troops?" Ma Heng said with some disbelief.

"Of course. The commander also hopes that you can form a separate firepower unit to strengthen the firepower, but considering the breakthrough in the fighting technology of your spears, it is important to equip it first, so that your troops can have greater combat effectiveness. This thing is basically disposable, and you can throw it away after you finish fighting. Zhang Qing said.

"That's great. But you hurry up and produce more, and you'd better get us two thousand pieces of this kind of thing, and I'll ask you to drink." Ma Heng put his arms around Zhang Qing's neck and said. If Zhang Qing was a woman, he would definitely kiss it.

"What a joke. Two thousand, I worked overtime, and I could only produce three hundred at most. Much more. But there is no more. Zhang Qing shook his head and said.

"I said, brother, I've invited you to drink. Good wine, I'm getting you some beef stew, it's delicious. Ma Heng said. Zhang Qing was in charge of the arsenal, especially in terms of firearms, and he was very open in the army, and if he had a good relationship, he could let them get better weapons.

Zhang Qing nodded helplessly and said that he accepted, but he still accepted many other benefits before saying that he would speed up his productivity and the production of firearms would become more and more.

Next to the paper mill, there are three factories, they are all affiliated factories of the paper mill, mainly produce paper tubes, cartons and other products, most of the workers are women, of course, there are some children, they just come here to work at night. During the day they all have to study. In the morning and at noon, the school will take care of the meals, which is the reason why they study there. The school not only teaches them to read and write for free, but also manages two meals for them, which reduces the burden on many families, which is an important reason why all families are willing to send their children to school.

In terms of education, Shang Wu is still very open-minded, and he knows that these children are the future of the Red Turban Army. If they are good and have a good base, the Red Turban Army can be better.

"There are all female workers here, and the management is mainly women, there will be 20 people in a class, and three classes will form a production line, and female workers from several nearby villages have come here. Of course. Some women who are too busy, they can take things back and make them, but the purchase of a product must meet our standards, otherwise, we will not accept it. The director of the factory introduced. Shang Wu and Jia Xu watched carefully.
