The design of the comic strip really made the soldiers quickly understand how to deal with firearms, but it was only the large number of weapons that were transported from the craftsman's supervisor in the afternoon that gave them a glimpse of the power of firearms in the Tang Dynasty today.

With a huge two-wheeled base, the long-barreled large-caliber shotgun was fully transported to 500 guns, Yanglin immediately drew out a brigade as an artillery brigade, and each of the five regiments under it was in charge of 100 cannons, and each gun was a group of 25 people on average, specializing in service, but don't think that each cannon is a little too much with 25 people, in fact, it is still a little insufficient, because the weight of this kind of cannon is 2,000 catties, in addition to the need for more than two oxen and horses to pull when marching, the subtle adjustment on the battlefield can all rely on manpower, Moreover, each gun is equipped with a large number of shells, which require two or three wagons to pull, and when it comes to the battlefield, it also requires manpower to continuously transport it to the front line.

The brigade commander who was appointed as the brigade commander of the artillery brigade was a new face named Sun Ji, and Yang Lin used him, mainly because he chose to study in Chang'an Academy in his spare time, and he also obtained a primary school graduation certificate.

Whether the equipment is sent down is with sound, Yanglin will test it as soon as possible, so after the distribution of personnel, all five hundred cannons were pushed to the Longshouyuan shooting range by the sergeants under Sun Ji, the Chang'an forbidden army is no stranger to artillery, but the cannons that have really been fired, almost none of them, with Yanglin personally as a guide, the cannon outside Chang'an City roared for a whole afternoon, anyway, Datang is not short of money now, tens of thousands of craftsmen prepared by craftsmen to supervise the production of these cannonballs to be extremely efficient, the sergeant door can raise their own strength until they are proficient.

And the second batch of equipment is even more incredible, 30,000 poles of six-shot revolver, this is the 10,000 cavalry reserve equipment made by the craftsman supervisor has long been made, and all of them are asked by Yanglin at one time, Yanglin wants to build a pure firearms force is not blown, the training task of the musketeer is actually similar to that of the artillery, non-stop targeting, loading, there are rewards for the number of rings hit, and there are rewards for the fast loading speed, and the bullets are piled up like a mountain in the warehouse of the forbidden army camp, and they can be used casually, one person shoots at least 60 rounds a day, three musket brigades, more than 30,000 people, The daily consumption of bullets is more than two million rounds, but Yang Lin is not distressed at all, as long as you can practice the musket well, these things are nothing, the long-barreled musket with a range of 100 meters and an effective killing distance of 60 meters will become a nightmare for the enemy infantry.

The musket is not as good as a bow and arrow, you can defend it with a shield and armor, the power of the musket is that its accuracy can reach a very high level, specifically hit the place where you have no armor, and keep pulling the trigger, it doesn't take much effort, in case the ammunition is exhausted, the bayonet on the barrel can also start hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, with a sharp knife with a bloodletting groove, as long as the barrel hits the enemy, if you don't treat it immediately, it is basically a bleeding death.

The last equipment in place is the heavy armor Mo knife that restrains the cavalry, more than 10,000 pairs of heavy armor, 20,000 high-carbon steel Mo knives weighing more than 30 catties, and the people who receive these equipment are all acquaintances of Yanglin, Cheng Chumo brothers, Yu Chi Baolin, Niu Hu, Duan Wei, these second ancestors, they were originally just in the forbidden army, but when they heard that Yanglin was in charge, they swarmed to ask the old guys at home to help operate, and mixed into the Eastern Army, and Yanglin, who knew them better, had to do everything else, that is, they had the strength to do it, So he gave the position of brigade commander of the heavy armored brigade to Cheng Chumo, and asked him to gather the whole army with well-developed limbs and simple-minded guys to form a 10,000-strong knife team.

What Yang Lin didn't expect was that Cheng Chumo's Modao Brigade was still the first to be fully organized into an army, no way, the soldiers generally did not understand firearms, and even had some fear, and the heavily armored Modao soldiers used to be the ace arms of the Tang Dynasty, and these soldiers naturally signed up enthusiastically.

The scene of 10,000 soldiers in full iron armor dancing with broadswords in a neat line in the school yard is so spectacular, just looking at it is exciting, but if the sun above their heads is stronger, I don't know if the iron armor on their bodies will burn them, anyway, Yang Lin is so worried.

The forbidden army camp since the establishment of the banner of the general of the east is a burst of chickens and dogs jumping, so that the entire people of Chang'an are restless, with the arrival of a team of government soldiers from all over Guanzhong, the camp seems more crowded, Yanglin as usual every day to escape the camp home to accompany his wife and children, there is no main general of the soldiers to play at night especially hi skin, the general invented poker is really interesting, a variety of ways to play, gambling and entertainment are not wrong.

After dinner, almost all the accounts began to play poker in a row of groups, and some even gambled very much, and even Hou Junji couldn't control it, because this was the task given to them by the general, playing cards for two hours every night, and the not enough positions to take turns to play, everyone had to learn until they could, Hou Junji didn't know what medicine was sold in the Yanglin gourd, anyway, after a few days, the rings on the shooting range no longer needed a special clerk to help them calculate.

Yang Lin does not expect everyone to learn a very advanced arithmetic, but from tens of thousands of people to pick out some people who are more sensitive to arithmetic as the future grassroots generals of the firearms army, it is possible to only barely take three or five years, and after the graduates of Chang'an Academy or above enter the society in large numbers, their task will be completed.

In the case of Li Shimin's annoyance, the Eastern Army finally started, it was May low, the weather was very hot, the 130,000 troops sweated like rain on the school field of the forbidden army camp, they only stood for a quarter of an hour, high on the oath platform, Li Shimin, who was wearing imperial armor, glanced at the oath written by Chu Suiliang, the living room, and slammed it to the ground, not to mention that there are a few soldiers who can understand this thing, just after reading it, the majesty of the Son of Heaven will also turn into a pool of sweat.

"The world is the world of the Tang Dynasty, and foreign countries are not allowed to spread wild on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the sons of Guanzhong are the most brave warriors in the world, and this battle will be won."

"Victory, victory······"

The shouts on the school field shook the sky, and a thousand words turned into one sentence, Li Shimin handed over the handsome flag of the Eastern Army to Yang Lin and then returned to the palace, and Yang Lin was not willing to do too many things in the ceremony, because the weather was too hot, if you want to cheer up the soldiers, it is OK for the Tianshen to show its face.

"Boom ······"

The sound of the steam thruster sounded over the school field, and the huge body of the Tianshen really came, and after hanging down a long rope staircase, Yanglin was the first to climb up, followed by Hou Junji, then Li Zhi, and then Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chubi······

Okay, some of the people in the back shouldn't come up, Yang Lin decisively kicked them all down, the Celestial is marching fully armed this time, in addition to the crew, there is at most one or twenty people's living space, and the quota of these twenty people is naturally accounted for by Yang Lin's private team, plus there are many places on the Celestial God that need to be kept secret, even Cheng Chumo, these second ancestors, Yang Lin does not intend to let them go on the ship easily, not to mention, as the commander of the first army, they must supervise the march of the troops on the ground, There are only one or two of them who are still in charge, and all of them are there, so the army is in chaos.

In the central hall of the Tianshen, the cool air made Hou Junji and Li Zhi secretly refreshed, in fact, it was not that the cabin was equipped with air conditioning, but that the Tianshen had a large amount of ice stored on it, and it could make ice cubes at any time, with these ice cubes and the constant rotation of the electric fan, the air in the cabin was naturally cool.

In front of the glass window, Yang Lin watched the ground phalanx open one by one, and then commanded the Tianshen to fly along the direction of the army, and when Hou Junji and Li Zhi were tired of seeing the scenery on the ground, Yang Lin asked the crew to hang a huge map on the glass window of the cabin, there was no way, except for the window, there was no such big position in the cabin.

"Uncle Hou, you know better than me about the march between Chang'an and the battlefield in Hebei Province, plus the new military information sent by Your Majesty, can you tell me about the current situation." Yang Lin handed an indicator stick to Hou Junji, accustomed to looking at the map with latitude and longitude as the coordinates, he couldn't understand the Tang Army's marching map at all, in the past, he liked to make a field sand table, and now on the Tianshen, making a huge sand table is no longer in the conditions, so an experienced veteran like Hou Junji needs to explain the actual situation to them.

"From Chang'an to Yanshan a total of about three thousand miles, with the current weather conditions, it is more suitable for night marching, not more than 100 miles a day, if there is no bad weather conditions, it should be able to reach the destination in about a month, but the combat goal of our army is to attack and defeat the Goryeo coalition army, Yanshan is no longer our final destination, with the latest information from His Majesty, the Goryeo coalition army has no intention of attacking our Datang mainland, after defeating the Zhenbei army, their infantry has retreated to the Goryeo mainland, And a large number of cavalry chose to capture the territory of the original Xue Yantuo, and even drove the Hui Department to the depths of the grassland, so now the grassland outside the Great Wall, almost all of them are enemy-occupied areas, and the two divisions of their coalition army, Murwei and Jian, are especially good at fighting, the soldiers are strong, powerful and not afraid of death, and they are good at long-distance running, and they are extremely mobile on the grassland, and we want to find their main force for a decisive battle, which is almost impossible. ”

"Murwei and Yan Yan, two bloodthirsty peoples, I don't mind giving them a hard blow first, Elder Ji Xuan, calculate the straight-line distance from here to the Black Sea, the marching speed of the army is too slow, let's go to their hometown to kill them first."

Yang Lin gave an order, the rulers and pens of several crew members began to move, from Chang'an to Changbai Mountain, the distance on the ground is only about 2,500 kilometers at most, with the speed of the Tianshen in a straight line, it can be reached in four days at most, attacking the hinterland of Murowei and Yao, which can make the two strongest cavalry in the Goryeo coalition army lose their combat effectiveness, at least for a short period of time, which can greatly share the pressure of the main force of the Tang Army with poor mobility, so Yanglin did not hesitate to choose to use the Tianshen to start the first shot of the battle.
