The battle at the front was in full swing, and in order to prevent the Great Western Army from counterattacking, Yang Xuan started summer training in full swing just after the farming was over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to requiring all battalions to intensify their training, the officer training camp was officially opened in early May, with Yang Xuan personally serving as the general office, and Qian Bangqi, Fan Mingshan, Yin Chengqi, Cao Zhang, Ma Mingluan, Du Jigui, and Huang Xueluan serving as instructors.

The training camp is located in Nanchong Xishan, surrounded by famous buildings such as Anhan City Tower, Chen Gong Ancestral Hall, Ziyun Pavilion, Chen Shou Reading Platform, Chen Shou's Former Residence, Wanjuan Building, etc., and Chen Shou, the author of "Three Kingdoms", once wrote a book and said in the vicinity, and wrote the popular "Three Kingdoms".

The squad leaders, squadron leaders, and brigade captains recruited from various battalions all looked quite excited, and in the past two years of fighting in the south and the north, it was rare to have time to take a good rest.

But when I hear about reading, everyone has a headache, just like some people say, everyone is from a military background, what is the use of reading well?

However, there was no way, the general personally asked the battalions to be appointed, and I heard that some of the captains were selected by the generals themselves, and although there were a thousand people who were unwilling, they had to participate in this officer training camp one by one.

Early this morning, everyone came to Anhan City Tower, and saw the familiar one from afar, not a few years after joining the army, the past cattle herding baby actually became the captain? Looking at each other's boards, everyone couldn't help but shout.

However, the front of the Anhan City Tower was heavily guarded, not only were there ten soldiers of the guard battalion lined up left and right, but also there was a senior senator in the army, Yin Chengqi, who passed by and signed first.

But many of them have not read at all, and they are timid, begging others to help them sign their names, and then under the guidance of a personal soldier, except for helmets, they ask to take out everything on their bodies and put them in a box, and then choose a set of ceremonial clothes, two sets of training clothes, a belt, a pair of straw sandals, and a pair of riding boots according to the size of the body.

Wearing new clothes?

It was a very new thing for the ancients, and three sets of summer clothes were distributed at once, one by one looked jubilant, everyone wore them, and although the whole figure looked straight, it still felt obedient.

This is Yang Xuan's pure cotton ceremonial dress designed according to the clothing, training clothes, short gown and short-sleeved round neck, cloth buttons are replaced with copper buttons, everyone wears them, they see the glittering copper buttons, and some joke that if they lack money, they can also change to a bun. (In ancient times, copper coins were hard currency and could be used to buy things).

The ceremonial dress is slightly different, first of all, the fabric used is much stronger than the training uniform, it is a short gown with short sleeves, lapels, and the shoulders are thickened, which looks quite wide, and the whole dress has a straight feeling when worn on the body.

In addition, each person was also issued a simple armor, which was said to be simple, and the other armor was covered all over the body, and this armor was obedient, wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth on the outside, and four or five steel plates were attached together to protect the chest, abdomen, and waist.

Everyone is quite curious, some joke that this armor is too little, why is there no back and no hand protection?

Someone immediately retorted, don't you go to war and run away? If you fight with the other party, you only need frontal protection.

Like the Mongol cavalry, many crossbowmen had little protection other than helmets.

And hand protection? I feel that it is in the way, but now I don't have a protective gear on my hands, and my movements are much more flexible.

This is designed by Yang Xuan based on the body armor of his previous life, with the development of firearms, the bird gun projectile can shoot more than two hundred steps, can penetrate eighty steps of cotton armor, armor, even if it wears two or three layers, it can be easily penetrated forty or fifty steps away.

This is still a general bird gun, if it is a Lumi gun, its caliber is up to 13mm, the barrel is 1.5 meters long, the whole gun is 2 meters long, the gun weighs 4 kg, the bullet weighs 11 grams, and the firing range is 150~300 meters, which is what we said in our previous life, and it can easily penetrate three layers of armor from 100 meters away.

With the use of steel plates (or iron plates), its defensive effect is far above the three layers of armor, and it can resist the attack of a spear at a distance of seventy or eighty paces, and the attack of a normal bird at a distance of forty paces.

It seems that not only the captain and squadron leader who participated in the training this time participated in the training, but also the general commander, Cao Zhang, the general commander of the guard battalion, Wang Shuji, Yang Fuquan, Niu Dayong, Wang Gao, the general commander of the 4th battalion, and Liu Weiming, the deputy general of the 6th battalion.

First of all, nine people who can read and hyphenate were selected, and everyone was asked to stand at the front and determine the number.

Then everyone reported the number from one to nine, and the same number was reported as a group, and the team leader was selected respectively, and finally nine teams were formed, Cao Zhang served as the first squadron leader, Wang Shuji was the 2nd squadron leader, and Yang Bingyi was the 3rd squadron leader.

After the formation of the team was completed, it was to reallocate the accommodation and live with the squad, so toss until noon, when everyone finished eating and was resting, suddenly the school field sounded a burst of war drums.

Everyone was nervous, and hurriedly ran to the school field, and saw from a distance that General Yang Xuan and a group of instructors were on the stage, watching everyone.

Everyone quickly gathered, and some even aimed at Yang Xuan, seeing that the other party was not the silver armor (the one that captured the Yellow Dragon) in the past, but was wearing a ceremonial dress, but a golden ribbon was placed on the left and right shoulders, which of course imitated the appearance of the general in the previous life.

The squadrons assemble as a whole and report the number of people, and then the whole squadron assembles as a whole.

Standing on the stage, seeing that everyone's pace was a little messy and the queue was not neat, Yang Xuan asked Cao Zhang, Wang Shuji, Yang Bingyi and others to come up and take a look, readjust, and after reassembling, Yang Xuan's face was full of iron, looked at everyone, and began to speak.

Yang Xuan was the first to show very sadness, when he started training two years ago, it was also a brigade, and many people were farmers, but after more than ten days of training, everyone lined up neatly and acted in a decent manner, and now everyone's worst is also the squad leader, and some are even the captain, managing more than 100 people, why do you not pay attention to the formation so much?

Yang Xuan immediately called out the names of the team members and asked why they were conducting queue training?

It was only at this time that everyone remembered what had been said in the past, that the queue is a reaction to the morale of an army and a sign of the unity of an army.

Then talk about the past history, in the past, everyone was a farmer, and some people were terrified when they heard that the local rioters were terrified, but in the past few years, they have won consecutive battles, mainly because everyone is united, mainly because of concerted efforts.

After that, the significance of the new costume was discussed, the new costume was mainly aimed at musketeers, and now the bird gun can easily shoot through cotton armor at about thirty paces, but this iron armor can prevent the bird gun from attacking at close range. And a true warrior has no defense on his back and arms on the battlefield.

Finally, Yang Xuan introduced the training arrangement, based on Qi Jiguang's "Records of Military Training", including military heart education (political education), human body structure education, ordnance education, tactical drills, terrain education, troop training, logistics weight training, riding artillery and other aspects of training.

Physical training is carried out every morning, ordnance and tactical training is carried out in the morning, training in other aspects is carried out in the afternoon, and training is summarized in the evening.

The duration of the training is three months, and upon completion of the training, all qualified trainees will receive a specially crafted sword of loyalty and righteousness with the student's name engraved on the hilt.

When everyone heard this, they applauded and cheered.

After that, Yang Xuan explained the construction principle of the bird gun and the basic shooting essentials.

When explaining each weapon, Yang Xuan asked everyone to take the model and actually operate it, and then summarize the shortcomings to see what improvements there are.

Let's talk about the principle of bird firing first, Yang Xuan first started with firecrackers, first set off one or two firecrackers on the spot, and then talked about the reason.

Then talk about the fire door gun, that is, put gunpowder in the bamboo pipe, and then fire prevention.

Then there is the old-fashioned fire gun, made of copper, which, when lit, fires the iron pellet.

Finally, there is the bird gun, which overcomes the problems of the fire gun, and has some conveniences and some shortcomings in the launch process.

Especially when talking about the bird, Yang Xuan intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that the launch speed was too slow, the problem of launching on rainy days and windy days, and when everyone heard about the Battle of Salhu, the Ming army could not launch the bird's gun on a rainy day, which caused many problems.

For these deficiencies, Yang Xuan asked everyone to put forward suggestions for improvement, and for some of the opinions that were more pertinent, he suggested that the other party should do experiments, and if they succeeded, they could be promoted throughout the army.

In the past, everyone thought that the bird was the bird, but they didn't expect that there would be such a tortuous development process.

In the next few days, according to the schedule, Yang Xuan explained the structure of the bird's gun, took out the bird's gun parts from the ordnance station, assembled it himself, and then asked everyone to assemble it, and finally released the gun.

Through experiments, it is proved that the factors related to the firing distance of the bird gun, such as the amount of gunpowder, the moisture of the gunpowder, the size of the projectile, the fit of the projectile with the barrel, the length of the barrel, and so on.

Every time he gave a lecture, in addition to theoretical explanations, Yang Xuan also verified them through a large number of experiments, allowing each student in each group to practice, which benefited these bosses a lot, and many of them even took the models back to imitate.

This empirical teaching method once led the trend, and other instructors saw that the generals were still like this, and everyone copied them, and some even came to Yang Xuan to discuss, Yang Xuan was also happy to discuss with everyone, and tried to let the other party think about the unreasonable places and find new ways to exemplify.

This is not all smooth sailing, for example, when assembling the bird gun, Yang Xiongniu of the 3rd Brigade is like this, Yang Xiongniu was born as a local tyrant and returned to the loyal army during the Battle of Pengzhou.

Since I didn't go to a private school in the past, although I had a lot of strength and fought bravely, it was quite troublesome to equip a bird gun.

Seeing that the rest of the team would pretend, and the bird gun they installed was not qualified no matter what, they couldn't take it to try, the air tightness was not good, and the flames that choked out burned others.

Everyone looked at it and laughed, and it happened to be seen by Yang Xuan, and immediately explained the truth of grouping, which is to let everyone unite sincerely and help each other, that is, let everyone help.

The whole team was punished and ran around the mountain twice, so it took two pillars of incense kung fu, and everyone returned to the same place out of breath.

Everyone reviewed one by one, and then Yang Xuan stood aside, and asked everyone in the team to take Yang Xiongniu to assemble the fire gun and test it, and the effect was quite good.

The officer training camp was underway, but it was not at all calm on the outside.
