In fact, Xiao Xuan also envisioned a three-barreled musket, and the barrels of the finished font were piled up, and at least three shots could be fired in battle. After all, in the revolutionary army of modern warfare, even in the few times when the conditions are the worst, the combat rifleman of a single attack has at least five rounds of ammunition in the chamber of the gun, and usually leaves two rounds for backup, as the so-called "three guns and eight ways" charge can also fire three bullets. However, two shots seem a little too small. It's just that this three-barreled musket still has to seek a flintlock mechanism, and it obviously encounters too big a problem in the design. Not to mention, if it is designed as a three-barreled musket, the power of a single shot will be affected. Xiao Xuan didn't want the power of the musket to be too small, weakened to within 1,700 joules, and it was best to leave a large margin on top of this, and it was okay to fire and attack with a power of about 26,700 joules. If it were not for that, there would be no guarantee that even a distance of thirty or forty meters would effectively threaten some of the more sophisticated frontal protection of the era, or some decent infantry heavy shields. However, even if a steel barrel sleeve is used at any cost, to achieve this power standard, the weight of the barrel cannot be less than two catties, and the double barrel cannot be less than four catties and two and a half kilograms. The three-barrel plus the length of about 1.8 meters behind the bayonet on the gun body made it obvious that it was relatively unskilled in hand-to-hand combat, which made a certain compromise to a large extent.

Of course, at this time, the backbone of the volunteer battalion did not understand the significance of this firearm, and people paid more attention to the protective equipment on the battlefield. After all, in several night attack operations, the lack of decent armor caused too many problems.

In this regard, Xiao Xuan, of course, did not disappoint everyone. When the fourth box was opened, it began to reveal a lot of brand new military uniforms and armor. The style of the military uniform seems to be the same as that worn by Xiao Xuan, while the style of the armor is more like a simplified Mingguang armor, which is not very heavy or has a wide coverage, and the style of the helmet is also very peculiar. But at least the head, upper body, and even thighs and upper arms have the most basic protection.

Xiao Xuan didn't want to let the individual soldier carry a total of more than twenty kilograms, it was best to control it at about fifteen kilograms to sixteen kilograms when necessary, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether he could follow some tactics. Under such a premise, there must be enough firepower and combat effectiveness, so full tempering is almost the only choice. Needless to say, the cost of making these armors is also expensive. Xiao Xuan once tried to produce a Western-style three-quarters of the top, but in the end it failed. This is also to understand that the Ottomans are so close to Europe, and it is not accidental that they have not been able to master the production technology of plate armor for a long time. In addition to armor and muskets, light shields made of stainless steel with observation seams and brackets, and many long-handled black powder grenades about a foot long also made many officers and soldiers refreshed.

"How to use firearms will be said for a while, you first see if these armor and military uniforms fit well! Don't be mistaken, whether it's a firearm, or a name on your armor or clothing. The cost of armor is expensive, but if the clothes don't fit, you can ask for a replacement at any time... ”

In fact, in the teaching brigade, especially in the guard battalion, a well-fitting uniform was considered very important in terms of military appearance. The school students in the film and television, especially some actors, wear their usual sportswear and school uniforms, and the students in reality seem to be very different, and to a large extent, the difference lies in this aspect. If the clothes don't fit, the entire military appearance will be greatly affected.

At first, Xiao Xuan was worried that paying too much attention to military appearance and uniforms would go against the original intention of revolutionizing the army, because it seemed to subconsciously cultivate some individual consciousness or individualism. Only those who do not care too much about all their vulgar interests, rights, interests, and vulgar images can be called the backbone of the revolution with idealized standards. Just in case, Xiao Xuan still made relevant preparations.

What Xiao Xuan couldn't imagine was that when these warriors from their teens to their thirties wore the big or small military uniforms and the armor almost completely fit, many people didn't react at first. But soon, many people began to realize something, and most people were moved. It's just that the will and psychology of these people who can be tested in the volunteer war are still tenacious, and not many people are moved to cry because of this.

"Chief! Give the order! When will the offensive start again? Is it tonight? This time, it won't be ... A middle-aged man in his thirties who looks not young and is not impossible to be a grandfather in this era said solemnly. This attitude also made Xiao Xuan's heart completely settle. In the past, Xiao Xuan was worried that there were too many mature adults, and the age hierarchy of the entire team was relatively large, which might bring all kinds of problems to the management of the troops. The cannon fodder army in a world war may be able to make do with it, but a high-standard revolutionary backbone will certainly be a problem. But now it seems that I have obviously thought too much, even if it is not a confused year? The age of the laity or the philistine means refined self-interest, and the people of the lower strata of the agrarian society, who have been exploited and even educated by society, have been selected by the great waves and sands, and the faith of a person at this age will only be as good as the uncle in the seven matches.

Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and smiled at everyone: "What? Comrades are going to go to the city to kill two people and earn one? If it's just for the sake of such hard work, the superiors will be stupid to invest so much money and effort in you. Thirty-six of you is one person who kills a hundred, and even everyone is Xiang Yu who kills hundreds, can you kill all the reactionary troops in the world or kill all the evil people in the world? Remember: those of you in the volunteer camp are just sparks, how can more people become like you, and continue to spread and develop, and become a fire that can start a prairie fire. Burning fertile farmland and new world in the midst of thorns is your greatest combat mission! Your task in the next few months is not to go to the city to fight, but to complete the training of new tactics and master the tactics of battle, and at the same time, you must also learn by yourself and further improve your level of understanding. At the same time, more fighters will be taught to improve their understanding, level, and even ideological awareness. Only then, when at least a few hundred others can be like you, may you be able to play a pivotal role in achieving your ideals ... ”
