Just when Chao Gai was fighting on Black Dragon Island, Jeju was in the hot summer months, and the hot weather was sweating like rain, and the treatment on the trees was non-stop.

On Liangshan Island, Ruda trained soldiers in the tall woods, although it was hot outside, but the woods were cool, sandbags hung directly from the trees, and the soldiers only wore shorts to hit the sandbags.

Ruda carried a leather whip, put his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "Sweat more when you train, and you can bleed less when you fight, do you all remember?" ”

"Remembered." The soldiers actually remembered that Chao Gai gave Luda the treatment of a battalion commander, but he was not allowed to lead the troops for the time being, and only assigned a hundred infantry to assist in guarding the grain depot on the island.

At noon, a centipede clipper came, and it was none other than Ruan Xiaowu standing on the bow of the boat.

Luda saw it from a distance and shouted, "Brother Ruan, didn't you come to the Sprinkle family to drink?" ”

Ruan Xiaowu said: "Let's drink or another day, there is something to do when I came here today, and Master Zhu Wu has come to convey the order to you." ”

The centipede boat docked, and Zhu Wu came out of the cabin, followed by two attachés, carrying some things.

Luda said: "What dare to bother Zhu Junshi to come in person." ”

Zhu Wudao: "The current situation has changed, Brother Chao Gai also wrote a letter from overseas, and after discussion by the military department, it was decided to give you the new general is the formation of troops, go to the room to discuss in detail." ”

Seeing that it was a serious matter, Luda didn't dare to slack off, and took Zhu Wu to the guest room, and the two sides sat down, Luda asked: "What has changed, is it that the Liao soldiers have invaded?" ”

Zhu Wu shook his head: "The Liao soldiers did not attack, but the official family made a mistake again, this year's drought in Shanxi, the summer grain harvest is less than fifty percent, the official family listened to the slander and thought it was a bumper harvest, and did not save the taxes and fees to collect." Hebei Dahao Tianhu is bewitching the hungry people in Shanxi for a generation, with bad intentions. ”

Luda said: "This kind of court is really disappointing, but the Sprinkle family heard that Tian Hu is not a thing, and the people have not had a good life when he raised troops." ”

"The people are suffering, and the people are suffering. If we want the people not to suffer, we must develop agriculture, animal husbandry, and commerce, so that the people of the whole world can have food to eat and surplus food for every family like the people of Jeju. Tian Hu's power has grown, and the most threatened is our industry in Jingcheng County, Zhending Prefecture, where there is our horse farm, and now there are nearly 4,000 good horses. There are also iron works, coal mines, carpentry factories, and so on. There is intelligence that Tian Hu has set his sights on Jing Cheng, so we have to plan early. Zhu Wu said.

Luda slapped the table and shouted: "Tian Hu, who is a straight thief, dares to fight our idea, it's really boring and crooked." Zhu Junshi said, what do you want to do? ”

Zhu Wu took out the order of the military headquarters and said, "Now appoint you as the commander of the seventh infantry battalion and train five hundred infantry." ”

Luda was very happy, how many years has he been a soldier, and he has never brought so many soldiers, Luda said: "Guarantee to complete the task, what about the recruits, where to choose?" ”

"The recruits will be transferred to you from the reserve for four hundred, and they will be in place tomorrow. It's just that the weapon should be based on knives, adapt to mountain and forest warfare, and be familiar with all kinds of things in the mountains, and the military department will send five veterans of mountain and forest warfare to assist you in training, and after the training is completed, you will lead the team to Jingcheng to assist Bian Xiang in defending Jingcheng. Zhu Wu said.

Luda said: "No problem, it's just that I want to choose weapons." ”

"Okay, first send you the talisman and waist card, and tonight your waist card will go directly to the Liguo Iron and Steel Plant, where the cold weapons are placed." Zhu Wu said.

Ruda collected the talisman and waist card, and became the commander of the seventh battalion of infantry. That night, Luda took a few soldiers, first by boat, then on horseback, and rushed to the Liguo Iron and Steel Works. The doorman was strict with his waist card, and then Luda was let in. Under the leadership of the guards, Luda came to the sword workshop, Tang Long saw a big monk coming, knew that it was Luda who came, greeted him from inside, and said from afar: "It's the battalion commander of Ludaru who came." ”

Luda said: "It's the Sprinkle family, who are you?" ”

"I'm in charge of crafting the sword, and my name is Tang Long."

When Luda heard that it turned out to be a master of sword forging, he immediately said: "The generals in the army are using the knives you made, and the short knives I carry with me are also made by you, which is disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Tang Long said: "I have received a notice from the military department, saying that you will choose weapons and follow me to the sample library." ”

Luda followed Tang Long to the sample library and was directly dumbfounded, what swords, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, whips, hammers, and other weapons are used.

As an officer from a professional class, Ruda still knows very well what weapons infantry need to fight in the jungle, first of all, this weapon cannot be too long, too long will affect the use effect, and it cannot be too short, one inch short and one inch dangerous. The waist knife is very good, and the Tang knife is also very good, both of which are about one meter, but they do not meet Luda's aesthetic point of view, and Luda shook his head when he saw it.

Ruda asked, "Do you have any powerful weapons?" ”

Tang Long smiled: "Yes, we have all kinds of weapons in this arsenal." There are chopping knives, greatswords, plate axes, maces, machetes. ”

The horse chopping knife is really fierce, the weapon equipped by the Wusong infantry battalion, the knife is one meter five long, and the blade is extremely sharp, you will feel that the horse is really pitiful when you look at this knife. The giant sword plate axe is currently equipped by Li Kui's battalion, although this kind of thing is powerful, but it is not suitable for the mountains and forests.

Ruda's eyes lit up, picked up a machete next to him, and observed carefully, the blade of the knife was rough, fifteen centimeters wide and seventy centimeters long, and the handle was solid wood, thirty centimeters long, and there were non-slip strips of cloth wrapped around it. The whole knife is a long strip of knife, but it is diagonally lowered at the tip of the knife. The back of the knife is wide, and the cutting edge is not sharp. But the weight of this knife is probably eight catties, and such a heavy knife coupled with the power of chopping can still kill the enemy without a sharp blade.

"This knife is called a machete, it has a simple structure, is easy to build, and is most suitable for a large number of military equipment." Tang Long said.

Ruda said: "That's it." ”

After choosing the main battle weapon, it's basically fine, as for other auxiliary weapons, such as short knives, small axes, etc., are standard, and there is not much room for choice. Ruda found that there was a small crossbow next to it, which was no more than half a meter long and forty centimeters wide, and the crossbow arrow used was longer than chopsticks.

"Can you give it a try?" Ruda asked Tang Long.

Tang Long said: "Battalion Commander Lu, please." "There is a small test site next to Banduda with a few targets marked with red hearts in front of it. Ruda was not good at crossbow arrows, but he aimed and shot and still hit.

Ruda couldn't put it down and said, "This is good, short and concise." Can you put some of this together for us? ”

Tang Long said with a smile: "This is a special crossbow arrow, called a hand crossbow, short and concise, but the range is short, only fifty meters of range, quite suitable for mountain and forest warfare, but the cost is too high, a total of hundreds of them have been produced, fill in the application for this hand crossbow, as for whether it can be approved, it depends on the military department." ”

Luda said: "Okay, this crossbow is also a supporting role, and the real war still needs a machete to solve the problem." ”

Ruda selected the equipment, filled out the form, and went back, as for the weapons distribution, it had to wait for the recruits to practice to a certain extent.

The next day the new recruits arrived, four hundred new soldiers. Luda still has a set of training, and the original 100 veterans and recruits are broken up and organized together, 50 squads, five platoons, and 500 soldiers. In addition, the battalion headquarters also has three medical soldiers, five heralds, and one ideological trainer, who are mainly responsible for teaching writing at night, helping soldiers who cannot write to write in peacetime, writing letters to their families, recording meetings, and giving some constructive suggestions to the battalion commander on major events. With a total of about 510 people, the 6th Battalion was officially formed. Ruda was very energetic, and his recruits suffered, because it was too hot, the soldiers got up at five o'clock in the morning to train, trained for three hours, and had breakfast at eight o'clock. After breakfast, I went to Liangshan, although the big trees on Liangshan were cut down by Li Kui, but there were still many trees, and the shade in the leafy woods still had nothing to say, and the temperature was naturally lower than outside. Shirtless soldiers perform basic physical training, such as prone palms, sit-ups, punching sandbags, lifting dumbbells, and so on. Physical training is boring and boring, it depends on how the generals adjust.

In addition to general training, Luda likes to organize soldiers to play football, and Luda's battalion has no football players, so it can only be said that he kicks casually, but football is much more interesting than boring physical training, so everyone likes this sport.

Just when Luda set up a new infantry battalion, Tang Bin and Hao Siwen also set up a new cavalry battalion.

In the military department, the three military divisions were present and announced the appointment of Tang Bin and Hao Siwen, and they didn't expect to lead the troops so soon, and they were very happy.

Wu Yong said: "Don't be too happy, you know the situation of the Yuncheng regimental training, after all, it is just a local regimental training, and it is easy to cause suspicion if there are too many recruits, so the sixth battalion of the cavalry of the two of you can only recruit a hundred cavalry, and it is not in the name of the army." ”

Tang Bin said: "In Jeju group training, happy and comfortable is the best reason, as for the military arrangement is not something I am good at, it is all up to you to arrange." It's just that our battalion is not in the name of the troops, so in the name of what? ”

Wu Yong said: "We have built a lot of new big ships, and it has become very inconvenient to enter the sea from the canal. Therefore, a port was built in a village called Rizhao Village near the sea in Yizhou, which will be an important port for us to go to sea in the future. Yizhou has its own naval army, and it is not appropriate for us to blatantly send a naval army over, so we can only send cavalry over to be responsible for the safety of the port temporarily. The 100 cavalry led by the two of you will be deployed in Rizhao Port in the name of the Yizhou Dart Bureau. ”

"Yizhou Dart Bureau?" Hao Siwen said.

Wu Yong nodded: "And this name, our new one?" ”

"Yes, it is filed with the Yizhou government, and the approved bodyguard escort." Wu Yong said.
