Chapter 44: The Javelin

Xiao Tianjian has to visit the wounded every day, check their wounds, comfort them and let them recuperate, this behavior makes several wounded people really grateful, especially the new wounded, moved and even cried loudly, vowing to sell their lives to Xiao Tianjian from now on, because they know better than anyone that this is a kind person like Xiao Tianjian, if it weren't for Xiao Tianjian to win, even if they stayed in Guzhuang and followed Sha Erbao, as long as they were injured, they would become waste, Sha Erbao will never be so good to them, if they are not allowed to let them be carried and thrown outside the village, let them fend for themselves, there is only one ending, that is, waiting to be pulled away and eaten by wild dogs, where may it be like now, someone changes their dressing every day, they are full of good food and drink, and the boss who is in charge of the plate also comes to visit them every day.

Therefore, just Xiao Tianjian's attitude towards these newly recruited wounded people moved all of Sha Erbao's subordinates, and this mind was even more stable, and he gradually became determined to follow Xiao Tianjian.

The days still passed day by day, Xiao Tianjian was busy like the axle, running around all day and night, either staring at his subordinates to practice, or going to see the cobbler to deal with the cowhide, or leading people to run back to the mountains to tinker.

At the end of April, the weather had begun to warm up completely, and Xiao Tianjian had finished his mysterious drumming, and when the drill began in the morning, he brought a few auxiliary soldiers to the temporary school field carrying a large bundle of things.

When everyone took a look, they realized that Xiao Tianjian had sent a large bundle of stabbing guns with a length similar to the height of ordinary people.

The barrel of each bayonet is made of local wood, which is dense, heavy, and relatively hard, and the head of each bayonet is also equipped with a sharp iron tip with very little material, which is much shorter than the spear in their hands, and it also looks very rough, and it looks like a disposable.

Not long after, Jin Tong took a few people to carry a bundle of wooden sticks to the field, put it in front of Xiao Tianjian, and after giving the salute, he retreated to the side of the school field, and quickly erected a few straw figures next to the school field.

When everyone saw that this bundle of things turned out to be long wooden sticks, about four meters long, nearly one meter or so beyond the barrel of the spear they were using in their hands at the moment, and they didn't know what Xiao Tianjian was going to do with these things.

"Brothers, you may be wondering what I am doing with these things today! And some people can see these days, I'm busy every day, but few people know what I'm busy with! Well, I'll give you an answer today!

Let's start with this bundle of short guns! It's not a short gun, it's a javelin, and it's not for you to fight people with them, it's for you to throw them to use! Let's take a look! ”

Xiao Tianjian walked to the bundle of short spears, began to speak to everyone, and said as he bent down to untie the straw rope that tied the spears, grabbed one casually, turned around and twisted his waist, ran two or three steps, and suddenly threw the javelin.

He was tall and long, and the strength of his arm was very strong, and after throwing it with all his might, the javelin flew out, and cut a graceful arc in the air, and only to hear a "poof", the javelin passed through a straw man thirty paces away, and nailed to the ground a few steps behind the straw man, and the javelin's gun shaft was especially trembling.

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and said in their hearts, "Obediently, the strength of the palm plate is really not small, and you actually threw this javelin so far!" And if this thing is stuck in a person, it will definitely not be pleased! ”

Xiao Tianjian was very satisfied with his demonstration this time, the distance of thirty steps was not close, and he still accurately hit the humanoid target, which is really good! After throwing the javelin, Xiao Tianjian turned his head and said to the subordinates present: "Everyone has seen it, this thing is used like this, from today onwards, each of you will have to add one more item to your training, that is, throwing this javelin!" Throw at least twenty paces away and be able to hit the straw man's target accurately!

The reason why I let you practice this is because the last battle in Guzhuang, the big guys saw that we don't have archers, it's a very disadvantaged thing, and at the moment I don't expect you to be able to train as a marksman, but practicing this is much easier than practicing bows and arrows, compared to bows and arrows, this thing is more powerful, and our enemies are not good as long as they meet! Don't look close, but as long as you practice this, we are much more powerful than our opponent's bow and arrow!

Of course, there is also the bundle of wooden sticks on the ground, which is actually a new gun barrel, and from today onwards, you all have to replace this gun barrel for no other reason, that is, our spears are longer than the opponent's, so that we can take the lead against the opponent's spearmen! Invincible! Last time in Guzhuang, one of our brothers died under the opponent's spear, and now your gun is longer, and the opponent has no way to take the gun!

The squad leaders of each squad come out of the queue, receive the javelin and gun barrel of your class, and immediately start replacing the gun barrel, and start adding javelin training today! Training javelins are not allowed to be used with iron heads, and all wooden javelins are used! ”

The squad leaders immediately went out of line, walked in front of Xiao Tianjian, received the guns and javelins on the ground, took them back and distributed them to their subordinates, and began to get busy.

It is not difficult to replace the barrel of the gun, everyone will do this kind of thing, and even if the head of the gun of some people cannot be pulled, with the help of others, they will quickly replace it with a new barrel.

Xiao Tianjian has been busy with this matter these days, and he has been thinking about how to improve the long-range combat ability of his subordinates, so that his subordinates have stronger attack capabilities.

Originally, he wanted to let these guys learn from him, everyone got one or two short axes on their waists, and threw them out to attack the enemy when they were in battle, but it was not easy to control the flying axe, Xiao Tianjian boasted of Xiao Li's flying knife, but playing with this often does not guarantee that the axe blade hits the target, and many times he relies on hard smashing to kill and injure the enemy, not to mention that he wants his subordinates to learn his craft.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Tianjian suddenly recalled that later generations seemed to have seen an article about the tactics of Ma Chao's Xiliang infantry, that is, the javelin used to beat Cao Cao to the ground.

Xiliang infantry is not good at bows and crossbows, but they are good at using off-hand javelins, which may be affected by the ancient Roman army's guns, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong at that time, this situation is somewhat similar to Xiao Tianjian's current situation, and his subordinates are not good at bows and crossbows, so if you want to have a certain medium and long-range attack ability, only this kind of javelin can be selected.

That is, he was so inspired to start arranging for his subordinates to prepare javelins, although this seems to be a bit of a historical regression, but at the moment he has no choice, he really wants to arm all his men with AK47s, but there has to be talent! At worst, he also wants to equip his subordinates with bird guns of this era, but at the moment, this kind of thing is just looking at the moon in the water, and it is unattainable.

So if you turn history backwards, you can turn history backwards! If you can get more attack power for your subordinates, you can try to get as much attack power as possible, which can be regarded as a contingency plan!

In terms of tactics and training concepts, he used the methods of the modern army in later generations, but the equipment directly returned to the Han Dynasty, and it was far from the quality of the equipment of the Han Dynasty army, which made Xiao Tianjian really depressed.

As for the length of the spear, he also went through repeated drills, and he didn't learn well in later generations, and he couldn't remember the length of the spear, so he could only use a stupid way to find a few of his subordinates to run back to the mountains and practice with guns of various lengths, and finally settled on the current length of four meters.

In this era, there are all kinds of spears, and there are long and short, different shapes, the longest is to be regarded as a rejection of the horse pistol, the length of the rejection gun is long enough, but too thick and too long, bulky to death, let the soldier hold the spike, that is a dream, let a person hold it is difficult, so the gun is too long, it is necessary to ensure that the soldier can use it flexibly, and finally after his repeated trials, this length was determined, after the ordinary soldier held it, it can be regarded as an effective completion of the spur action, and then the longer will not work, if it is short, Lost the advantage again.

Fortunately, the materials of these two things are easy to solve, in the mountain where they are hiding, Xiao Tianjian let Shi Ran walk again, and found a dense ash forest, probably because of the lack of water, and the woods are too dense, this ash tree grows with straight trunks, and there are few branches, and the age of the trees is more than five or six years, the slow growth has caused the texture of these ash trees to be very dense, which is just the best material for making spear barrels, cut a batch back, and hand it over to the carpenter to peel off the bark and correct it, It became a very good gun.

Although Xiao Tianjian vaguely remembers a better way to make a gun shaft, which is divided into three layers, which is oil-soaked and braided, and dried in the shade, after being made, the knife is constantly chopped, and it is full of toughness, but that method is too long to use, and it is almost as difficult as making a composite bow, even if it is not worse than building a musket, with his current situation, don't even think about it.

The problem of the javelin is better solved, find some hard mountain miscellaneous wood, simply cut it, let Li Xuanzhu take a few people, create some rough pig iron gun tips, install them, and there is also a benefit, that is, after throwing out, this kind of pig iron gun tip is easy to break, and the province is picked up by the opponent and thrown back, which is equivalent to giving the enemy a weapon, making trouble for yourself, it is completely a disposable, and you don't even need to install the iron gun head when training, saving money and trouble!
