After the training rating and merit reward were communicated to the whole army, they were unanimously welcomed by the officers and men. Needless to say, the new soldiers were already inspired by the Yuan army's merits to arouse their desire to fight, if the Dragon Bird Army returned to the old way of paying and eating food, it would be difficult for them to maintain that kind of tiger and wolf nature.

And the soldiers of the former Dragon Sparrow Army also rejoiced. There is not enough people, and no one in this world wants to be paid the same, especially the military. Only with military merits can we be rewarded, and only with war rewards can we be rich, and all this requires fighting, constant fighting, and continuous victory.

Since the formation of the Dragon Bird Army, naval battles, land battles, night raids, and battles have been won; The township soldiers, Mongolian soldiers, and new attached soldiers all lost. So far, it still maintains a record of complete victories, especially in the latest war, it is more to win more with less, killing the army and destroying the army, and the whole army is shocked, and the whole army is rewarded. Successively released thousands of stone rice grain and beef and mutton meat (purchased from the merchants), and the officers and men of the whole army were promoted to one level. Many soldiers regret that this reward was not introduced earlier, otherwise with such a record, I don't know how much to be rewarded, I am afraid that everyone will be a small rich man.

It can be said that at present, the morale of the army is extremely high, and the enthusiasm for training is unprecedentedly high. When the time comes, he will win a high-class sergeant, wear a shiny bronze medal, take money for materials, and be respected by his comrades, so unpleasant. Not to mention ordinary sergeants, even the white-clothed team and the loyal and obedient team, who are themselves envoys and effective soldiers, are also moved.

In order to improve efficiency, Zhao Lie divided the training of the Dragon Bird Army into three parts: Shi Yang was responsible for the training of musketeers, Ouyang Guanhou was responsible for the training of gunners, and Jiang Fenglie was responsible for the tactical battle formation of gun-shield combined attacks. Zhao Hunt is always in charge, and is also responsible for the upgrade training of the junior team and the Thunder team.

After the Battle of Chikan Beach in Xiangshan and the Battle of Wanning Beach, Zhao Lie has basically determined that neither the Mongolian army nor the new annexed army can withstand the volley fire of muskets. Pistols and shotguns, on the other hand, could only add to the frontal battlefield because of their range, and could not maximize the power of breech guns, which were unique in this era.

Just like Zhao Lie's positioning of the junior team, breech guns should and must be used in special operations in order to show their strengths. Although Zhao Lie only knows a little about special operations and is not proficient in it, looking at the world, there is no one else who can take on this role except him.

Zhao Lie's upgrade training is how to use the special terrain of Qiongzhou such as reefs, trees, rooftops, and corners to fight crossbowmen.

The only thing that can threaten long-range weapons is long-range weapons, and the Great Song bow crossbow has a longer range than firearms, but it only has this advantage, and the rest such as hits, rapid-fire, and effective protection are far inferior. As long as the distance is closed and the two sides are fired, the guns should be able to suppress the bows and crossbows.

However, theory is only theory after all, and Zhao Lie needs a real battle, or a drill, to prove it.

So Zhao Hunt used his brain, and the craftsman made a batch of practice bullets with thick paper shells and mud pills. The so-called practice bullet is not loaded with shotgun, but modified with a small ball made of lime, fish glue, and clay, which is painted on the outside, and will explode when hit on a person, leaving white spots.

This practice cartridge can only be fired with a double-barreled shotgun, since shotguns are smoothbore guns and are not rifled. In the case of a pistol, this fragile "bullet" rotates at high speed in the rifling and grinds into ballast before it comes out of the chamber. And the triple shotgun has not yet been developed, so the double-barreled shotgun is the most suitable practice gun. Although the practice bullet is lighter than the real bullet, the drill does not require damage value, and the focus is on the range rather than the effective range, so the shooting distance has not been shortened, and it is still about 20 steps, which is about the same as the real bullet.

Everything was ready, at the end of July, Zhao Lie, as the "chief instructor performance", led Jiang Fenglie, Shi Yang, Ouyang Guanhou and other generals to a training ground in the northeast of the school field with simple earthen houses, low walls, sand piles, trees and other simulated street fighting scenes, to watch the confrontation against Xi Xi.

Red: 10 members of the Junior Squad and 9 members of the Thunder Clan, for a total of 19 players. Team General (Team Officer): Long Feiyi.

Blue side: 30 recruits from the Broken Battalion, team general: Wan Zhong (Lao Wan).

Long Feiyi, Ouyang Guanhou, Yang Zheng and others are one of the twenty-three righteous men, and they are very skilled, and they were once a member of the black crow's dark claws. He is very good at gathering intelligence, assassination, and disguise, and is Ouyang Guanhou's right-hand man. Later, he was transferred from the Black Crow to the Dragon Sparrow Army, and is now the general of the Thunder Clan.

Lao Wan's group were all crossbowmen from the original new annexed army, and now they each held fifteen bows, fifteen crossbows, and thirty arrows each.

Since it was a matter of military secrets, a guard post was set up around the exercise site to shield unrelated people from approaching.

Watching the red and blue sides on the field enter the battlefield position, Shi Yang smiled and said to Ouyang Guanhou: "Ouyang, do you want to gamble." ”

Ouyang Guanhou tasted excitedly: "How to bet?" ”

"A stick of incense, the red side wins."

Ouyang Guanhou said with a smile: "I bet on half a stick of incense, and the red side wins." ”

Shi Yang laughed: "Okay, bet." ”

At the moment when the two were making a bet, the commander over there raised his handcuff under Zhao Lie's signal, ready to give an order, and suddenly a voice came: "Wait a minute." ”

Zhao Lie and the others looked back in surprise, but saw Ding Xiaoyi carrying a double-barreled shotgun on his back, trotting all the way over, and said loudly: "Thunder member Ding Xiaoyi reports!" ”

At the beginning of the establishment of the Thunder team, Ding Xiaoyi repeatedly asked to join. Zhao Lie considered that she was a woman and there was a lot of inconvenience on the battlefield, so he did not agree. At present, it is not as good as the beginning of the Shan Incident, when there was a shortage of manpower, one was counted as one, not to mention women, even disabled people like Wang Ping'an. Now that the army has just formed, Ding Xiaoyi is no longer suitable for the army, Zhao Lie is thinking about letting Ding Xiaoyi quit, how can he agree to her joining the special combat team?

However, Ding Xiaoyi was not convinced, and played a desperate pursuit method, and Zhao Lie had to make a detour when he saw her for a while. But if you walk too much at night, you will eventually meet ...... Sister. In the end, it was blocked, Ding Xiaoyi stared at Zhao Lie's eyes, and said: "You said before that special operations sometimes have to infiltrate enemy cities and play various roles as needed, including men, women, and children, so there is a youth team - let me ask you, do you dare to say that women are useless?" ”

With Zhao Lie's current identity, he can call directly to his face, and Ding Xiaoyi is the only one who comes and goes.

Zhao Lie didn't hide this time, and after sending the guards away, he leaned against the wall with his arms and rubbed his chin for a long time before he smiled to himself: "It's me who is too reserved." Okay, make an exception and let you join - but first of all, the war reward is shared, and the military merit is not available. ”

Ding Xiaoyi had already realized this, and said happily: "I don't want any war rewards and military merits." ”

Zhao Lie patted his forehead: "Yes, I almost forgot, Xiao Yi is a rich woman, and you still have a large dowry with me......"

Ding Xiaoyi rolled his eyes and turned around and went like a fawn.

In this way, Ding Xiaoyi became the only female warrior of the Thunder Clan, or the Dragon Sparrow Army.

However, in today's exercise, the red side was supposed to have 20 people present, but due to Ding Xiaoyi's absence, only 19 people were present. As long as Zhao Lie knew the reason for his absence, due to the haste of the incident, Long Feiyi failed to make up for it in time, so he went to battle with nineteen people.

Zhao Lie looked at Ding Xiaoyi, who was late, and instead of being angry, he said with a pleasant face: "You...... If your body is inconvenient, just rest well in the camp, why bother ......"

Ding Xiaoyi said loudly: "Report to the chief instructor, Thunder team member Ding Xiaoyi is fine, he can play!" ”

Jiang Fenglie and the others looked over one after another, and they couldn't understand the mystery in the words of the two.

Zhao Lie didn't want to say more, his expression was full, and he said solemnly: "Thunder member Ding Xiaoyi, permission to be listed!" ”

"Yes!" Ding Xiaoyi raised his fist in his chest, gave a military salute, and ran into the team quickly.

Long Feiyi frowned, but the chief instructor spoke, and he couldn't say anything.

On the side of the junior team, Ding Xiaoqi glanced at his sister, secretly relieved, and wondered in his heart. was late for the performance, but he violated the military rules, and Brother Zhao was not angry? Weird.

Suddenly, there was a bang, Ding Xiaoyi's expression perked up, and the exercise began.
