The first battle of Zhaojiabao exterminating the clan made the Black Tiger Army famous. Those landlords who are in the Black Tiger Army's sphere of influence, this time they can see the benevolent side of the Black Tiger Army, and also see the iron-blooded side of the Black Tiger Army, knowing that the Black Tiger Army is benevolent but not bullied, so when the official army is helpless to take the Black Tiger Army for the time being, he wisely chose to accept the Black Tiger Army's proposal to reduce rent and interest and pay protection fees. For a time, the praise of the benevolent and righteous division of the Black Tiger Army and the reputation of the tiger wolf bandit rose together.

Today is a rare good weather, warm sunshine and blue weather, coupled with a rare slight south wind, so that people have a feeling that spring is coming, this is the north often said winter Xiaoyang spring.

In order not to delay the children's classes, the review meeting of the Black Tiger Army was held in the square in front of the military division's cave, and everyone brought stools to sit around the stone table in front of the cave, and discussed in a low voice.

In accordance with the regulations of the military divisions, each battle must be held after the war, and not only all the leaders above the military commander level who participated in the war, but also others who did not participate in the war should also participate as much as possible. Therefore, the small square in front of Lu Shi's cave was crowded with the big and small leaders on the cottage.

Lu Shi, Black Tiger Star and Wu Tao Chen sat around the small stone table, and the others were crowded outside, near the window under the leeward sun was a row of papers, lined up a row of tables for records, and there was a sea bowl on the table, and a few pieces of fine charcoal were placed in it, one to warm the hands of the book, and the other to keep the pen and ink from freezing. More than a dozen students from the two elementary schools of the Wang family and the school who were very talented in military affairs were present at the meeting hall and also took on the task of filling up some boiling water for everyone.

Wu Tao first briefly repeated the entire battle process to everyone, which was mainly an explanation of those who had not participated in the battle.

After Wu Tao finished his introduction, Lu Shi said with a smile while holding the water bowl; "Let's talk about it first, this time we are just a routine post-war review of gains and losses, not for a certain person's rights and wrongs, although it should also be recorded, but not for a person to record stains, everyone should not have baggage, everyone can speak freely."

Seeing that the captains who participated in the battle quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Shi spoke again: "First of all, we must affirm the result of this battle, that is, we have won, this battle is not only a matter of Zhaojiabao's capture, but also tests the ability of our soldiers to attack the fortifications and the coordination ability of each team after the city is broken, the battlefield adaptability, etc., and more importantly, it is a deterrent to the landlords and powerful armies at both ends of the first rat, so that they dare not resist us. Cut off one of the arms of Zhang Yuan's dog official who was going to encircle and suppress us, and reduced some of our pressure. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement with the military advisor's statement.

"We want to build up our sphere of influence, occupy some rural areas in such small battles little by little, and expand our living space and sphere of influence.

Everyone began to talk quietly about the idea of the military advisor. All of them heard the meaning of the military advisor's words, and their faces were full of longing for the future of the team.

Lu Shi and Black Tiger Star didn't stop everyone's discussion, they just smiled and guided everyone's discussion topic, don't go off topic. Strive to create a harmonious atmosphere of equal discussion, which is the difference between the army and other cottage governments, never relax in discipline, but on any occasion, everyone is equal to speak and discuss, there is no dull hierarchical stinky rules of the government, people are turned into sound barrels and kowtow worms, and there is no other cottage like either a word or a loose sheep.

Look at everyone's lively discussion of the words in the previous paragraph, but when they start to go off-topic, Black Tiger Star knocked on the table and said loudly; "Okay, okay, let's listen to what the military advisor says, don't pull out any other moths that have nothing to do with the meeting."

Lu Shi saw that everyone was quiet, so he continued; "I will first do a self-examination about this battle of Zhaojiabao, that is, the matter of the earthen bunker and explosive bag I invented this time, I did not encounter the problem of fire prevention and easy explosion of this earthen bunker in advance, and it caused unnecessary casualties to our brothers, and I made the mistake of being too hasty."

Wu Tao saw that the military advisor was guilty, and hurriedly answered; "Don't blame yourself, all new things, we don't know his shortcomings and characteristics, just like the military advisor often says to students, everything has to be slowly explored in time and practice, you are not a god, if that is the case, what do you want us to do, do you say?"

Everyone shouted yes together, and they also enlightened the military advisor with nonsense, and for the trust of the military advisor, this small mistake is simply negligible for the military advisor.

Chen San stood up and changed the topic; "King Chuang, I have come up with a way to do this, I don't know if the military advisor is feasible or not."

"Heh, okay, in fact, I also came up with a solution, but everyone brainstormed and came up with ideas, I don't know what kind of trick Brother Chen has?" Lu Shi was interested.

This is the result he wants to see the most, one person counts short, three people count long, and only when everyone is willing to think is a good sign of real development.

As soon as Wu Tao heard that the military advisor and his brother had ideas, he also came to make fun; "Since the military advisor and Brother Chen both have ideas, and we will also learn from the ancients, please ask the two of you to write down their thoughts on paper and see if the heroes see the same thing."

When everyone heard this, they were all excited and shouted for the military advisor and Chen San to write it out and corroborate each other.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Lu Shi also stood up at that time, walked to the desk of the bookstore, picked up a pen and paper; "Come on, Brother Chen, let's write it down and see how about it?"

Chen San smiled and said humbly; "I'm a stupid person, where do I dare to compare with Zhou Lang, just to make fun for everyone." As he spoke, he also came to the desk of the bookstore and whispered in the ear of a bookstore, and the clerk smiled and wrote down two words on a piece of paper, and at this time, Lu Shi also finished writing and handed them to Wu Tao.

Wu Tao took the two pieces of paper in his hand and shouted, looking at each other; "Miaomiao, it's really the same as what heroes see."

Everyone stretched their necks and waited for the excited Wu Tao to announce the answer.

Wu Tao laughed and said; "It's all about a thing ---- a crossbow, which is exactly the magic way to solve the danger of the explosives package that needs to be delivered by manpower."

Everyone suddenly realized when they heard the crossbow, this is the ancient long-distance killing weapon, if the powerful explosive bag is tied to the long arrow and shot at the enemy city, then it is no different from the flowering shell of the expensive artillery, the power of the artillery is well known, but that thing is indeed too cumbersome and expensive, not a small black tiger village can be assembled, but the explosive bag and the bed crossbow have a long-distance cheap and easy-to-operate weapon. And all the people below cheered.

Seeing that the military advisor and Chen San and the others were looking at him with eager eyes, Zhao Blacksmith hurriedly got up and said; "The crossbow is not complicated, we craftsmen can do it."

Lu Shi was very satisfied with Blacksmith Zhao's answer, and Blacksmith Zhao continued; "It's just that the arrows on this method are too complicated, and dozens of people need to work together to noose, see if the military division can improve some?" His eyes were filled with a kind of longing for the all-powerful military advisor.

Lu Shi did not disappoint him, and chuckled; "It's not difficult to reform the crossbow, we put the crossbow on the chicken cart (wheelbarrow) and it is driven by one person, and several people operate it, which doesn't require me to study it, my students can draw drawings for you." As he spoke, he looked at his nephew and protégé Zhang Erlang, who was sitting in the corner, and Erlang stood up calmly in Lu Shi's trusting eyes; "Uncles and uncles, Erlang will definitely be able to complete the task assigned by the teacher, and only two people can use the crossbow operated by ten people." With that, he sat down and continued to think about his thoughts.

Blacksmith Zhao and the captain of the firearms battalion clapped together; "If so, then our army will be invincible."

If you can really turn the bulky bed crossbow into a four-person operation, then this long-range, high-accuracy, low-cost, and fast-to-transfer bed crossbow is equipped with a firearms battalion, and when equipped with an explosives package, it is not only artillery, but also the elm spray that will be scrapped after a few fights can be eliminated. At that time, even in the face of thousands of horses, as long as we have enough crossbows and explosives bags thousands of paces away, we will let them fall into the dust, and the world will ------。

Lu Shi saw that Wu Tao, who was calm, began to squint his eyes and grinned, and immediately knocked on the table fiercely.

"Wake up, everyone, it's off topic again." It's not good to be democratic, and after a meeting, I don't know where this subject will go, and there is really no way.

As soon as he said the main topic, Black Tiger Star stood up and said solemnly; "Let's continue the review of the first battle of Zhaojiabao, now I will first say my mistakes,

First, I was carried away by the successive victories and attacked the fortress with cavalry, causing more than 30 brothers to lose their lives in vain. Second, I shouldn't have said cruel words in front of the battle for the second time, so that the other party had that and that—"

Wu Tao immediately took the aisle; "Hatred of the same enemy."

"Yes, it's the same hatred of the enemy, and let us resist and kill more after breaking the fort, this ——。"

Wu Tao hurriedly stopped the extremely frustrated Black Tiger Star Dao; "Don't blame yourself, the commander is all because my military division has not fulfilled his responsibilities."

Black Tiger Star's neck is changed; "Don't exonerate me, we have to be open and honest and deeply review in order to fight again, I still understand the truth of eating a trench and growing wise, if you don't understand, will the blood of my brothers still flow like this next time?" Thinking of his innocently dead brother, Black Tiger Star's eyes were red. Everyone was convinced by Black Tiger Star's openness.

"However, through this battle, I have also seen a big drawback of our Black Tiger Army, please refer to the brothers here." Black Tiger Star said loudly. Everyone focused together.

"In this battle, I found that after the cavalry entered the city, there was no place for street fighting, our spearmen could be said to have no opponents in the wilderness for the time being, but during the street fighting, because the spear body was too long, it was subject to the house, and could only fight on the long street, but the area of the long street was narrow, but it caused the result of fighting in the front row and watching the play in the back, so I had no choice but to let my cavalry change to an infantry army, and the thieves fought house by house, which is simply to attack the enemy's shortcomings with the strengths of our cavalry, so I strongly hope to equip the spearmen with short blades this time."

Lu Shi stood up at the right time; "Yes, the commander is reasonable, now we still have a surplus of fine iron, and there will be a steel mill in the future, so I will no longer worry about raw materials, so I decided to equip each spearman with a short knife, and the short knife can be shortened according to the saber style, so that our spearmen can become a field battle, and can also kill the enemy in street battles."

When everyone heard this, they added equipment to the brothers, and they all cheered.

Everything is slowly supplemented and grown in the continuous blood lessons, and the Black Tiger Army slowly grows and develops in the continuous review.
