Chapter III Renumbered 2

(Today's Great Seal is worth celebrating, and at the same time thank the brothers for their strong support to me during this time, if it weren't for you, the Great Seal would not have fallen on my head so quickly, so in order to thank the brothers, today is scheduled to update four chapters!) Chapter 1 is here, please stand up, brethren! )

"Alright, shut up! It's a joke, but it's a matter of getting down to business! There is one more thing at the moment, this time I want to bring it up and discuss it!

Although we defeated the officers and soldiers in the Stone Buddha Temple this time, but you don't know if you found a problem, there are still big problems in our establishment at the moment, although we have fought several times, all ended in a big victory, but I found a problem!

At present, our establishment is too simple, especially in terms of weapons, our companies, except for Yan Chongxi's company, which has knife players, musketeers, and gunners, the other companies are all pikemen, although it is not a problem to join forces to fight now, but many times in the future, we may divide our troops to fight, and if it goes on like this, it will be very troublesome!

Therefore, on the occasion of this reorganization, I put forward this matter, and in the future, all branches of the company will be fully equipped except for artillery, so as not to be assigned to the battle again in the future, and it will also reduce the number of mistakes! Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop everyone's laughter, and Zhengse said to them.

For Xiao Tianjian's opinion, the generals naturally had no opinion, so they nodded in agreement, Yan Chongxi also nodded and said: "This matter is best arranged, if you don't say it today, your subordinates also want to mention this matter, these two battles, the subordinates have found that they have to transfer their subordinates back and forth, so it is very troublesome, it is better to arrange it like this, and it will save a lot of trouble, so that the combat power of each company is more balanced!" ”

The Xingtian Army is not constrained by the old system, and many things will be implemented immediately as long as they are feasible after discussion, and it is just taking advantage of this time to recuperate to carry this matter forward, and for such a restructuring, the soldiers naturally have no qualifications to put forward opinions, and the officers, big and small, are of course happy, so if they continue to implement it, it is just a change of name, and it will not be troublesome.

After the selection of the instructors under Liu Bao, more than 200 recruits were quickly selected from the recruit camp, and the sentry generals of each post were not stingy with Zhao Erdonkey, and each selected a few capable veterans under his command and transferred them to Zhao Erdonkey, and set up an officer's shelf for his company, as for the lowest-level captain, he was directly selected from among the recruits to form a new company of soldiers and horses, and the remaining recruits were added to other companies to make up for the lack of manpower due to war damage during this time.

At present, due to the rapid expansion of the number of firearms in the Xingtian Army, the number of artillery pieces of various types after this war is close to 20, and it is obviously not suitable to continue to be organized under Yan Chongxi, Xiao Tianjian simply promoted Huang Shengqiang to a sentry general, and concentrated all the artillery under him for unified use.

Huang Shengqiang never expected that he, a tomb robber who had defected to Xiao Tianjian halfway, would have the opportunity to be promoted and enter the sequence of the upper officers of the Xingtian Army, and immediately felt grateful to Xiao Tianjian, knelt in front of Xiao Tianjian and patted his chest and swore that he would swear to the death.

For Huang Shengqiang's artillery company, Xiao Tianjian was not stingy at all, just mules and horses allocated to them 60 horses, so that they were responsible for hauling all kinds of artillery and gunpowder of the artillery company, and also specially equipped the artillery company with horsemen who could serve the cattle, so that after the number of people was finalized, it temporarily exceeded the strength of other companies, and actually became the largest company among several companies.

As for those musketeers and sword players who were originally under Yan Chongxi's jurisdiction, they were also dispersed in this reorganization and assigned to other companies, and the lack of personnel in the company under Yan Chongxi's jurisdiction was filled by other companies.

There is also Shi Ran's scout team, to put it bluntly, the scout team is now equivalent to the reconnaissance company of later generations, they are engaged in the hardest work among all people, and at the same time the most dangerous, many times they have to act in small teams or even alone, Xiao Tianjian did not hesitate to allow the scout team to select as many people as possible from the army who are good at riding horses and have good martial arts, but the number of scouts is only controlled within eighty, not that the Xingtian Army has no manpower, but at the moment they are still short of war horses, but even so, for these scouts, Xiao Tianjian tried his best to equip each of them with two war horses, one of which is a good horse, and the other is a pack horse, usually these scouts ride pack horses, save the physical strength of good horses, and when they are about to fight, they change to ride good horses, so that the scout team can be said to have become the most elite team of the Xingtian Army, in addition to being scouts, when necessary, they can also be used as the only cavalry team of the Xingtian Army, for this reason, even Li Lingfeng, who had collided with Xiao Tianjian, was also selected into the scout team on the occasion of this selection. This made Li Lingfeng finally mentally balanced.

In this way, the Xingtian Army has already built a scout team with Shi Ran, counting the number of six companies, and the number of soldiers has reached 800 people, and after a period of time for the recruits to finish training, the main combat strength of the Xingtian Army can be increased to about 1,300 people, plus after the distribution of various weapons captured this time, the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army has once again jumped to a higher level.

After three days of rest, the soldiers had a good rest, and after the fourth day, they were once again engaged in the training, and after the reorganization, the soldiers of each company also needed a certain amount of time to get acquainted with each other, so in a short period of time, Xiao Tianjian did not make more plans.

And he turned his energy to the craftsmen who accompanied the army, and plunged into the craftsmen's shop to supervise the work of those craftsmen.

With the increase in the number of craftsmen collected by the Xingtian Army, coupled with the raw materials accumulated in the recent battles, they can now solve some of the equipment on their own, although it is still a little difficult to manufacture the weapons needed in large quantities, but repairing some of the armor is not a problem for them now.

Especially the time is getting more and more urgent, Xiao Tianjian is not greedy and has started to produce weapons in large quantities now, that is not realistic at all, not to mention the problem of craftsmen, just obtaining raw materials is very problematic, so the main work he asks craftsmen to do now is to repair on the basis of the original weapons, especially for armor, they have accumulated hundreds of pairs of armor now, but most of them are damaged, how important is the importance of a capable warrior, he knows better than anyone else, So he spared no effort to devote most of his resources to repairing the armor.

The blacksmith shop and the carpenter shop are a busy scene, the clanging sound of striking iron is heard from morning to night, dozens of blacksmiths are divided into arrays, assigned special personnel to manage, some are responsible for repairing weapons, some are responsible for repairing armor, and Yang Changshou leads several craftsmen to be responsible for the construction and maintenance of bird guns.

For Yang Changshou's group of craftsmen, Xiao Tianjian did not urge them, after all, the new bird gun needs a lot of preparation, Yang Changshou has become a food seller before entering the Punishment Heavenly Army, of course, it is impossible to carry the tools of making guns, so although he has patted his chest to ensure that he can create a good bird gun, but this first part is to build a variety of tooling and fixtures to build bird guns before the work can be carried out, so Xiao Tianjian is not in a hurry, let him do things.

A large number of broken armor were concentrated in the blacksmith shop, and a group of blacksmiths went into battle shirtless, working in the blacksmith shop, because the armor obtained by the Xingtian Army was very complicated, there were simple hanging iron cotton armor, there were also iron armor, and some chain mail, in short, the armor that was now in the world, he basically had it here, it was as complete as the Armor World Exposition.

Therefore, repairing these damaged armor is not easy for these blacksmiths, according to the location of each piece of armor damage, re-create some suitable armor pieces piece by piece, and then repair the armor, in addition to these things, but also to remove rust for these armor, these busy craftsmen have to work in the blacksmith shop almost all day in addition to eating and sleeping.

However, Xiao Tianjian's treatment of these craftsmen is also very generous, imitating the soldiers every day, giving them three meals, and they are full, and they can eat some meat for three days, even if they don't have wages, for these craftsmen, it is enough for them to be satisfied, considering the high temperature in the blacksmith shop, Xiao Tianjian also took out some very few mung beans, and asked the firehead soldiers to cook some mung bean soup to quench their thirst and cool down, so these craftsmen didn't need too much supervision, and they were in full swing.

Because they know very well that it is quite difficult for them to find such a place to survive in this world, if they don't do it well, there will be no such shop in the village, not to mention that a few days ago, Xiao Tianjian had cleared out a guy who was indiscriminate and lazy, and directly drove out of Tianlong Village, let him fend for himself outside, and then that guy was driven out for a few days, and he starved to death when he heard it, so after this example, the craftsmen did not dare to be lazy, I did my best to work in the shop.

Xiao Tianjian stood in front of a pair of freshly repaired armor, carefully checked the situation of this scale armor, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The craftsmanship is good, although I dare not say that the repair is seamless, but it is already quite good!" At present, the conditions are limited, and you can use it enough! Huang Shengqiang, this guy, just kill that Li Wangjin, but he just wants to shoot a volley at him, a good pair of scale armor, but he is full of holes, and he almost wastes a good armor! ”

The craftsman responsible for repairing this armor is a simple man, seeing Xiao Tianjian come here to inspect their work, so he put down the work at hand, wiped his hands on the leather apron on his body and walked over, hehe smiled: "The big boss, this scale armor has been explained by several military masters, let the small one repair it, for the big boss to use, this scale armor is a little narrower, the small one has been widened and enlarged, you wear it to try the size, the place that doesn't fit, the small one will be modified for you immediately!" ”

"Oh? Is this armor custom-made for me? Not bad! Then I'm going to give it a try! ”

With the help of the blacksmith, Xiao Tianjian put this armor on his body, although this armor weighed more than 30 catties, it was heavy on the body, and the design of this scale armor was also more reasonable, the weight was evenly distributed on the shoulders and waist through several straps, and not like the rough iron armor, the weight was concentrated on the shoulders, and after wearing it for a long time, the shoulders would be more tired, and this scale armor had a large protective area for the body, in addition to the torso, the armor pieces on the arms could protect the upper end of the forearm, The bottom can be protected up to the knees, and whether it is walking or riding, there will not be too many obstacles, and it is more comfortable to wear.

After Xiao Tianjian put on this scale armor, he patted the armor pieces on his body, moved his legs and feet, and suddenly felt a sense of security.

"Very nice! It's really much more comfortable to wear than the previous iron armor, thank you! Looks like I'm going to have to add a nice meal to you today! Otherwise, I'm sorry for your craft! Hehe! Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction and joked to the group of blacksmiths.

The blacksmiths all laughed at once, and they didn't even dare to say it.

"The repair of the armor needs to be faster, when our soldiers of the Heavenly Army go into battle, they rely on these armors to save their lives, don't be careless! After repairing these broken armors, if you still have enough iron, create more iron leaves and put them on the vital points of the leather armor to strengthen the leather armor's defenses! The more protection the soldiers, the more chance to survive on the battlefield, even if I don't say this kind of thing, the big guys also know that everything has to be done by the masters! Xiao Tianjian said to the craftsmen after taking off this scale armor.

When these craftsmen heard Xiao Tianjian call them masters, they all immediately felt very embarrassed, nodded their heads again and again, and did not delay their efforts, turned around and walked to their respective anvils, and jingled to work again.

Xiao Tianjian slipped to the carpenter's shop, several carpenters were also busy, they selected walnut wood neatly together, busy separately, next to the shelf placed some walnut wood butts, since the last test of the new butt, to determine that it can effectively improve the probability of hit, the big guys also agree with the role of this new butt, Xiao Tianjian ordered the general in the existing available bird guns to replace all the new butts on this new butt, now there are a few carpenters engaged in this work, at the moment, it seems, In a few days, all the bird guns will be able to be replaced with this new butt.

In the selection of butt wood, Xiao Tianjian does not know much, fortunately there are many knowledgeable carpenters, they specially selected oak wood, green oka wood and walnut wood among the various woods to make the butt, these woods have an advantage is that the wood is hard and wear-resistant, can be used as a good butt material.

As soon as they saw Xiao Tianjian coming, the carpenters got up and saluted, Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and asked them to continue to do things, picked up a prepared rifle butt and gestured on his shoulder, the hand felt quite good, so he nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the carpenter shop.

Looking at the people who were busy all around, Xiao Tianjian looked at the sky, pinched his fingers and counted the time, and secretly said in his heart, "Busy!" When will I be able to catch my breath? It seems that the time is not early, Gao Yingxiang and they should soon go to Luoshan! It seems that if you want to rest, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while! ’
