Volume 1: The Age of Cold Weapons Chapter 13 Training
On the second day, Tang Feng and Zhao Daniu, as well as members of the escort team, moved Zhao Daniu's blacksmithing workshop not far from the escort training and set up a simple workshop again.
Later, Tang Feng followed the existing resources in their hands. It was redesigned and some new weapons came out. They put some discarded hoes and other things in the furnace and remelted them, and then they got some poor iron.
Tang Feng considered that there were no archers in the escort team. And the training of an archer takes a long time. Besides, Tang Feng also had a consideration, if he developed well, he would have this weapon in a few years, and it didn't matter if the archers had it or not, because it took much less time to train a musketeer than to train an archer.
So he asked the members of the escort to go to the surrounding mountains and cut down some branches and make some sticks. Then he used the hoe to melt it into iron to make a cavity, and a simple javelin was made.
He selected 20 of the 50 guards to be javelinmen. When the convoy encounters an emergency, these people can throw the javelins in their hands to achieve the purpose of killing and injuring the enemy. Although, due to the rush of time, these people did not have any accuracy when throwing javelins. Although the accuracy is poor, it is also better than none.
For the rest, he made more than thirty spears. The main body of these spears is also wooden, only the interchamber part is iron. Tang Feng is also desperate this time. He found the villagers and took all the hoes and some farm tools in the villagers' homes to the furnace and melted them into iron for them to use.
Tang Feng melted all the farm tools in the village into molten iron and then made them into weapons, and most people in Qiuhe Village originally held opposing opinions. The villagers think that this is too wasteful, and if they need to do farm work in the coming year, what will the villagers do with their hands?
But before the villagers could raise objections, Li Cunzhen visited them door to door, and finally this matter. It was passed logically. Then these people didn't wait for Tang Feng to come to the door, so they took the initiative to send all kinds of farm tools from home.
Therefore, Tang Feng temporarily solved the problem of lack of iron materials in his hands. With these iron materials, Tang Feng designed more gadgets, which may not be of great use in real battles, but sometimes these things may have unexpected effects on specific occasions.
Later, Tang Feng made more wooden sticks. The sticks were the same length as the javelins that had just been made. Because Tang Feng had to hurry up and train, the members of this gang of guards threw javelins.
After all, Tang Feng doesn't know if there are archers among the bandits, if there are archers, then his side will face greater danger when attacking, with the existence of these javelinmen, it can also cause some deterrence to the enemy, although this deterrence does not know how effective it is in the actual situation, but it is good to always cause some psychological pressure on the enemy.
Later, Tang Feng asked Zhao Daniu to make some non-catches. These claws are put on with ropes, and if they attack in front of the bandits' stockade again. These flying claws can be thrown out to hook the gate, and then everyone will work together to pull the entire gate down.
Because according to Tang Feng's observation, the gate of the bandits' stockade was made of some simple wood into a wooden fence, so there was no actual defensive power. If it weren't for the special terrain where the cottage was located, that kind of walled gate would not be able to stop the attack of any army with a little ability.
These things are just in case, Tang Feng's real killer feature is. He had recently ordered some herbs to be collected and then fermented to synthesize a new neurological drug, which has psychedelic properties, and as long as it is ignited to produce smoke, ordinary people will fall to the ground unconscious in a few seconds if they take a puff. But this drug seems to be powerful but also has defects, the smoke of burning has certain requirements for the weather, if it is not windy, the smoke will drift to their own side after being lit.
Therefore, Tang Feng hoped that when he attacked that day, it would be best if the wind direction was favorable to their side, otherwise it would be troublesome, and the wind should not be too strong, if it was too big, the smoke would not be able to stay at all, and it would be blown away in the blink of an eye.
After a few days of preparation, Tang Feng was ready to start his hands on the bandits. Although the time is still a little rushed, they Qiuhe Village can't wait, and it is estimated that the bandits will come to the door in the next day or two. If Qiuhe Village is in a passive position at that time, although it can also resist, it is estimated that these villagers who have just received military training are not necessarily the opponents of those bandits who kill people without blinking.
Although the members of this group of guards have been trained by Tang Feng, they already look like an army on the surface, but after all, these people have never seen blood. If you haven't seen an army written on it, then his combat effectiveness is in doubt. Only when an army has seen blood thoroughly can it be a qualified army, and a warrior will only become a qualified warrior after being baptized with blood.
So Tang Feng decided to launch a sneak attack on the bandits' lair tonight. There are 50 people in the convoy, and these 50 people will be divided into two lines. Led by him all the way, a total of 10 people, lurking to the rear of Tieling Mountain. Wait for the opportunity. The other 40 people will lurk in front of Tieling Mountain, and slowly touch the outside of the bandits' walled gate, in order to wait for the opportunity to take the walled gate.
Tang Feng ordered the members of the escort team to check their equipment one last time. When the guards had finished checking one by one, Tang Feng gave the order to set off. Then led by Tang Feng, more than 50 people disappeared into the distant night of Qiuhe Village.
When Tang Feng and a group of them disappeared into the distant night. The people of Qiuhe Village also held all kinds of weapons in their hands, including flat poles, wooden sticks, and hoes, and they cautiously followed the rear of the escort. Go to the bandits' lair.
Qiuhe Village this time is equivalent to the Qing Dynasty dispatching. Coupled with the members of Tang Feng's escort team, the mighty team was close to four or five hundred people. Only some old and weak women and children were left in the village, who could not walk. These people had already confessed when they left, and if no one came back after dawn to report the news, it would mean that the operation had failed. Those who remain will choose to commit suicide or leave. When the time comes, burn the village to the ground, and don't leave anything useful for the bandits.
Qiuhe Village went this time with a mortal heart. Although Mr. Xiao Tang has performed countless miracles, most of the people in the village are still not optimistic about this operation. It's just that if you don't fight, the village will still die, even if they flee collectively in this troubled world, they won't end up well when they go outside, anyway, it's better to die.
Tang Feng and a group of people cautiously came to the foot of Tieling Mountain. He asked the group of villagers behind him to lurk around Tieling Mountain. If the escort team is lucky, there will definitely be bandits escaping from the mountains at that time, and if the number of bandits who are hunted down is not too large, these villagers will rush to give the bandits who escaped to Qinxia.
If the bandits who escaped from the mountains carried weapons in their hands, Tang Feng told these villagers not to fight hard. Just let these people go.
As for whether the operation would fail, Tang Feng never thought about it. He had already won from the beginning, and Tang Feng was just afraid that in the process of action, for example, because of some unexpected circumstances, the team he had just managed to get out would suffer too heavy losses.
As for these bandits, it's not that Tang Feng underestimates them, Tang Feng is confident that he can give this bandits' nest to the sticky nest with his own good calculations. The main reason why he had to go to such great lengths to plan this gang of bandits was that he wanted to hone these newly trained recruits.
Because Tang Feng can't do every action by himself, these people will perform some tasks on their own sooner or later. Therefore, these people must be tempered, and only after the baptism of blood again and again will this gang grow into a qualified warrior.
Because no matter how good the training is in peacetime, it has not been tested in actual combat, and it is all on paper. The tacit understanding of cooperation between each squad or between each comrade-in-arms and comrades-in-arms must go through the baptism of war again and again before it can be slowly cultivated, and after having these things, a commander can command his army like a finger.
And these people have been baptized by war again and again. Tang Feng will also explain some command knowledge to them in the future, although these people cannot become commanders, but they can still become some middle and low-level commanders. If they are lucky, if their life is long enough, they may also catch up with the spaceship, and when the energy accumulates to a certain time, they can implant some skill chips and learn some command knowledge.
At that time, Tang Feng can also use some genetic drugs to extend the life of these people. If they have enough lifespan, they also have a chance to become mid- and high-ranking commanders. But this depends on the creation of these people, if they don't have that life to live to that time, then Tang Feng has no choice. Because even if you reach the great god-level civilization, it is not so simple to regain a person's consciousness. Although the great god level has the ability to retrieve someone's consciousness, the price spent in this is unbearable even for a great god-level civilization.
So even in the era of the galaxy-level god-level civilization where Tang Feng was before. Unless that person is of great use to this great god-level civilization, then the great god-level civilization where this person is located will spend an extremely painful price to unlock him from the chaotic consciousness of the vast universe.
As for how the great god-level civilization unlocked the consciousness of a certain person, Tang Feng didn't understand, because this was not within the scope of his research, and he didn't know until then, and he didn't know it now.
Anyway, Tang Feng knew that every great god-level civilization had a set of consciousness management systems for the citizens of this great god-level civilization, as long as there were recorded citizens in this system, no matter where he died, these god-level civilizations could retrieve his consciousness from the vast universe.
But the premise is that the characteristics of these people's consciousness must be recorded in this management system, if there is no record, then if you want to find out this person, although it is possible, but the cost is extremely high, and the general god-level civilization is reluctant.
