The bird system stored in the warehouse in the city of Chongqing was taken out and distributed to the soldiers who were selected as the bird commanders, along with two medicine jars, a bullet bag, a tong and a crescent axe. [No pop-ups. 】

The crescent axe is Wang Huan's new equipment, the original Ming army bird commander does not have this weapon, the two ends of the crescent axe axe blade are upturned and curved, plus the axe handle is three feet long, and the end of the axe handle is equipped with spikes, which can penetrate deeply into the ground, and the S strike is just enough to put the bird in the concave D formed by the axe blade warped, and the bird commander can comfortably and stably aim and fire by bending his head slightly, which is more conducive to improving the accuracy of the S strike than the original posture of holding the gun with one hand and pulling the trigger with the other.

When the bird commander is needed to fight in close quarters, just throw the bird uniformly, and the crescent axe can be turned from a fork of a gun into a melee weapon, and the sharp axe blade of the wide axe body is a huge deterrent to both the cavalry and the foot soldiers.

In order to make the bird commander form combat effectiveness in a relatively short period of time, Wang Huan selected a group of bird commander veterans from the surrendered Zeng Ying army, one of the criteria for selection is the pockmarks on the face, the more pits, the higher the position, a soldier named Yan Mingde, and even directly appointed as a centurion, of course, in addition to a lot of pockmarks, this person's marksmanship is also a must, and the ancestors of the Guan Ning army are on par.

As for the gunpowder used by the bird commander, the seized black powder is still used, and there is still a large amount of black powder sealed in wooden barrels in the gunpowder warehouse of Chongqing Fucheng, which is enough to be used for a period of time. As for the newly produced strong yellow powder, first, the production is not high, and the production of exterminating ammunition is somewhat tight, and it is unable to supply it to birds in large quantities; Second, Wang Huan didn't have the courage to let the captured birds use yellow gunpowder, which was several times greater than black powder in terms of power and effect, and he had witnessed the end of the explosion.

Perhaps it will be the time for Li Huaien to develop a new bird system that can withstand yellow gunpowder and experiment with the stable charge required for each S-strike.

"This axe is not like the Xuanhua axe, nor is it the Kaishan axe, it is a bit similar to the glaive axe, but it is not, the tail end of the axe blade is too deep." On the school ground, Zu Bian held a crescent axe to comment, and the rest of the people also watched with great interest: "My lord, where did you find it?" ”

Wang Huan grinned and said: "Back then, my master traveled overseas, and once went to the far north, where there is a country named Russia, and its sergeants use this crescent axe, you can try it, how do you use it?" ”

Zu Bian agreed, stood a few steps away, shook off his arms and slashed a few times, the crescent axe axe is very heavy, and it is like a heavy hammer when it breaks through the air, plus the sharp blade, if it smashes on the body of a human horse and horse, it is enough to cause fatal injury.

"The weight is good, and the power is good." Zu Bian stopped his movements and shook the big axe in his hand: "However, the handle is shorter, and it is not very good to use." ”

Wang Huan said with a smile: "It can't be any longer, if it grows up, the bird will become a Yang S, and the axe used by the foot soldier is not as good as the cavalry, and it will be inconvenient if it is longer." ”

As he spoke, Wang Huan turned his head and beckoned to Yan Mingde, who was honestly standing by the crowd, and said, "Yan Baihu, you come and try." ”

Yan Mingde was originally taboo about his identity as a pawn, and stood at the end with a little shrunken head, looking at Wang Huan, the main general of the stars and moons in the circle, with a look of envy and some inferiority and fear, with a trace of curiosity in his heart, how did this young young man defeat the fierce Zeng Ying in that night attack? At that time, Yan Mingde was also in the army, but he felt that in the middle of the night, there was chaos in all directions, and he had just opened his eyes with sleepy eyes, and he was captured by the white-robed soldiers who rushed into the camp before he came to his senses.

Seeing Yan Mingde stay in place and stunned, Wang Huan shouted again, Yan Mingde came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, and was about to get an axe.

Wang Huan stopped him, handed him a bird system and a medicine jar lead bag, looked at him with a smile and said, "You come and try, use the bird system with the axe, is the S strike effect better." ”

Yan Mingde respectfully agreed to take over the bird commandery, but heard Wang Huan say again: "Yan Mingde, use your fastest speed to load the S attack, and fire several times in a row, so that everyone can see how powerful the bird commander is." ”

Yan Mingde nodded hurriedly flattered, but a warmth surged in his heart, and secretly stayed in Zeng Ying's army for four or five years, Zeng Ying never remembered his name, he came to the Kuizhou army for just over half a month, and in less than five days after arriving in Hezhou, the main general Wang Huan was able to call out his full name, and the two were compared and sighed.

Now that I have the mind to show my means in front of the new master, since I have joined the Kuizhou soldiers, I feel that this army is not like the usual Ming army who can only kill people and steal things, but a real regular strong army, as a military household that can only be a soldier to fight, it is natural to work hard.

So Yan Mingde C got up the bird, erected the crescent axe, and forcefully pierced the tail spike deep into the ground soil, stood up straight, and then charged and loaded in an orderly and fast manner, a pair of hands like a butterfly through flowers, busy endlessly, and completed a series of complex actions such as loading ******, reloading, tamping with a whole strip, and then loading the fire door medicine in the blink of an eye, and the surrounding generals were dazzled.

When Yan Mingde put the bird on the curved surface of the crescent axe in one go, held the long handle of the axe with one hand, held the tail end of the bird with the other, closed one eye and aimed his face close to the door in front of the fire gate and aimed at a wooden stake fifty steps away, but in just a few breaths, such a quick movement made Zubian, who claimed to be a good firearms hand, nod.

The S-strike posture of holding an axe and a gun in one hand, in fact, Yan Mingde used it for the first time, and it felt a little weird, but when he lowered his head to aim, he felt very comfortable, and the weight of several catties of bird system was all pressed on the crescent axe, and he didn't need to use his hands to end it at all, and he could devote himself to aiming.

After a little aiming, Yan Mingde's fingers moved, and the bird slammed off, and a puff of black smoke and dust rose from the muzzle of the gun, accompanied by the sound of the gun, a gun hole suddenly appeared on the wooden stake that was as thick as an ordinary person's thigh fifty paces away, and sawdust flew one after another, and this shot hit the wooden stake.

There was a cheer around, and Wang Huan smiled.

Yan Mingde was unmoved, his eyes didn't look at the cheering crowd, all his body and mind were put on the bird in his hand, the trigger was pulled, and he didn't look at the target, he immediately put the gun back, casually blew the smoke of the mouth, and the strip wrapped in a wet cloth quickly smashed it a few times in the control, reloaded and reloaded, and in a few breaths, the bird system was on the crescent axe again.

"What a quick move!" Zu Bian exclaimed in a low voice, a surprised expression on his red face. Not only him, Wang Huan was also surprised, he didn't expect that there was such a good hand in the official army, he secretly counted just now, from Yan Mingde to start loading the gun to reload the gun after the S shot was completed, but more than 20 seconds, as the second gunshot sounded, Yan Mingde's second shot was also released, and at this time, Wang Huan only counted to the thirtieth time.

Two shots were fired in thirty seconds, very fast.

In the distance, there was another burst of sawdust from the stake, a little below the first D, and another D-D appeared on the stake, causing another exclamation from the surroundings.

Even the two are unified, and this result is enough to be rated as excellent.

Yan Mingde was not finished, he collected the gun and loaded it, and calmly started the third load.

All the people didn't dare to make a sound anymore, quietly watching Yan Mingde's performance, even an arrogant guy like Zu Bian closed his mouth and stared at his movements nervously, for fear that a little noise would affect him.

Wrap a wet cloth with a whole strip to clean the pipe, charge and fill the bomb, tamp it with a whole strip, load the fire door medicine, light the fire rope, aim, and release the gun, such as the careful process on the assembly line, Yan Mingde did nothing wrong, and the third shot was released steadily, "Bang!" The stake fifty paces away trembled again, and this shot hit the middle of the first two holes, and the thick stake was like being gnawed several times by lead, and a large piece of wood was missing in the flying sawdust, and it was broken into two with a few swings.

Yan Mingde sighed, and shook his head with some pity, as if he was dissatisfied that the wooden stake used as a target was too thin, and the three unifications were interrupted, otherwise he could perform for a while.

"Forty-five seconds!" Wang Huan was already shocked, too fast, looking at Yan Mingde's movements, he could release Sitong in one minute, this speed can be described as fast in the era of arquebus, and what is more valuable is that he hit the target with every shot, and Santong broke the wooden stake fifty steps away, this is a first-class S hand, in the future generations, it is definitely a good material for snipers.

The normal S strike speed of the arquebus, about three shots a minute, if it is a person who has not undergone strict training, this speed will be slowed down, the bird commander in the towns of the Ming Dynasty has long since lost the heyday of the Qi Jiguang era, the soldiers are not strong, because of greed and exploitation, the army lacks ammunition and medicine, not to mention training, even the clothes are not complete, how to talk about training? And the bird commanders who do not have strict training are pulled out to fight is a joke.

Yan Mingde is simply an outlier in the official army, such a good talent is just a small soldier in Zeng Ying's team, not even a general, which makes Wang Huan's influence on the Ming military town a little worse.

"Good, good, good!" Wang Huan took a group of generals and hugged Yan Mingde's side, shouted three "good" words in a row, patted him on the shoulder and laughed, rejoicing as if he had found a treasure, and the people around him were also amazed and praised, making Yan Mingde as dazzling as a star.

"Well done, Yan Baihu, in the future, you will be my Kuizhou Soldier and Bird Commander Instructor, in addition to managing your 100-person team, you also have to find time every day to teach the method of S attack, and train a Bird Commander team as good as you for my Kuizhou Army!" Wang Huan laughed so hard that his mouth reached the root of his ears, and he laughed and shouted.

"Congratulations to Yan Baihu!"

"Congratulations, please drink later."

Hearing that Wang Huan was crowned an official on the spot, all the generals were happy, and they all started to coax, congratulating Yan Mingde while making a fuss.

Yan Mingde was a little unbearable, he had a simple personality and was not good at communication, so he was a small soldier in obscurity in the official army, at this time he was sweating profusely, and he was even more nervous than when he fired three shots in a row just now, and replied clumsily to Wang Huan: "Don't dare, the adult praised it, in fact, the small one is accurate, and it all depends on the adult's method." ”

Wang Huan woke up from the joy at this time, remembered the matter, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, how does this kind of gun S strike feel compared to your gun S shot in the past?" ”

Yan Mingde thought for a while before saying: "Add an axe, one more weapon, it's a little more tired when marching, but it's much better when S strikes, the crescent axe is erected steadily, and the bird is much more stable on it than holding it in hand, and it won't shake, S is more accurate, don't hide it from adults, the small S on weekdays are not so accurate." ”

Zu Bian C mouth said: "An axe is not heavy, but there is a means to save life, in the past, the bird commander was equipped with a waist knife, the knife was as short as killing pigs, there was no use, and the axe was like a soldier, you see how heavy this axe is, and it will cut a bloody hole on the horse's head, not to mention the human head." With it, the bird commander can be regarded as a soldier without the bird commander. ”

A bunch of people around are nodding, thinking that it makes sense, indeed, in the past, after the bird commanders in the official army put a row of guns in front of the formation, they basically became J ribs, and the waist knives they were equipped with when they fought were not at all in the battle where spears and halberds were rampant, and with this long-handled crescent axe, they could have combat ability, and hundreds of crescent axes were lined up horizontally, just like the Mo knife team in the Tang Dynasty, and the combat power should not be underestimated.

Wang Huan nodded, and asked Yan Mingde again: "Your bird system is very accurate, where did you get it?" ”

The onlookers were also curious, it was rare to see such a good commander in the Ming army, and it could not have been trained by Zeng Ying.

Yan Mingde replied with a blushing face: "Back to the adult's words, the small one is the Hebei people's family, generations of military households, my father once served in the army of Lord Lu Xiangsheng, and later was injured and never left the army, so he returned to his hometown to care for the elderly, the little one was taught by his father since he was a child, and he was familiar with the bird system, and when he was small, he used a slingshot to hit the bird, and when he was older, he was held by his father every day with a wooden gun to practice his eyesight, until he later joined the army on behalf of his father, entered the Beijing camp, and specialized in bird management, so he was more accurate than others S. ”

"I see." Wang Huan was stunned, and said categorically: "Your instructor appointment will be honored today, and starting tomorrow, the whole army will be trained by you, and all the methods that your father used to train you will be trained in, and we will strive to make our bird commanders become proficient as soon as possible." ”

He solemnly said to Yan Mingde: "You have to work hard, the future victory or defeat of the Kuizhou soldiers is all on you!" ”

Yan Mingde only felt that his blood was surging, and the emotion of a soldier dying for his confidant rushed straight to his brain, his head was dizzy, and he was almost unsteady on his feet.

Finally calmed down, Yan Mingde was speechless and clenched his fists loudly in excitement: "The kindness of adults, and the small liver and gallbladder can't be repaid." Please rest assured that the little ones must do their best and do their best to train a bird commander for the adults. ”

From this day on, Yan Mingde really devoted himself to the training of the bird commander, his method is unique, first let people touch the bird commander, but let more than 2,000 people line up in two rows on the school field, stand opposite each other ten steps away, each person has a wooden G in his hand, and a wooden G is tied to an eight-pound stone on the wooden G, and the flat end is aimed at the eyebrows of the opposite person, one end is an hour, and it is not allowed to be put down in the middle, and it is not okay to be a little lax, otherwise the military law team will serve the military G.

Wang Huan also felt novel, and asked the reason, Yan Mingde replied, the soldiers who first came into contact with the bird system have no foundation, and they have to practice their eyesight and arm strength first in order to fight accurately and steadily, which is the foundation of the bird system, as for the speed of loading and filling, practice makes perfect, and there is no shortcut.

Wang Huan nodded yes, and after a few days, he saw Yan Mingde let the bird commanders stand straight in a horizontal column, and let the pikemen roar from a distance with wooden spears, making a charge and assassination, passing through the gap between the people of the bird commander, and the bird commanders were not allowed to move and dodge, the gap was only a foot wide, watching the long wooden spear wipe the clothes of the bird commander, Wang Huan pinched a sweat, if this spearman was a little worse, he would directly stab the body of the bird commander, once he stabbed it, it hurt to think about it.

But there is no need to ask, Wang Huan also understands Yan Mingde's hard work, this must be in the courage of practicing bird commanders, on the battlefield, if there is no concentration, when he sees the enemy charge, he will mess up, put the gun indiscriminately and then run, or forget whether the gun is loaded or not in the chaos, and press double the gunpowder in it, and explode the chamber as soon as he hits, and even the whole strip is left in the command and fought out together, that kind of bird commander is no different from that of the official army, and it is not what Wang Huan needs, Yan Mingde knows how to do it, and he suffered enough losses from his colleagues in the Ming army. I hate this situation the most, and at this time in military training, of course, we should grasp courage training as an important content.

This kind of training adventure is an adventure, if something is wrong, someone will be injured, and it is not uncommon for bones and tendons to be separated, but Wang Huan thinks it is worth it, this method is to train the bird commander, but also to train the pikeman, and usually sweat and bleed, you can save a life in wartime, and you can draw it.

So some people questioned, some people couldn't stand the trouble, Wang Huan ignored the questioning, and the handling of the trouble was simpler, first beat the board, and then sent to the deep mountains to go to the labor camp to mine, which quickly calmed down the small waves in the training.

"Soldiers are either here to be blessed or to suffer. Endure hardships in order to be able to survive, to be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield and survive themselves, Kuizhou soldiers do not raise bad seeds, for those who died in battle, Kuizhou soldiers support their families, and those who escape from the battle and can't bear the training in the army are not worthy of being Kuizhou soldiers. This sentence has become Wang Huan's mantra, brainwashing the people in the army if there is nothing to do, it didn't take long for this to become a famous saying of the Kuizhou army, everyone can say it, the first sentence of the army general is this sentence when he speaks, and over time, even the people know it, and it is a well-known military aphorism in Kuizhou, of course, this is a later word.
