Xiao Yi brought the three of Qi Lao, Zhong Yang, Han Dong, Shi Gang, Huang Yang, and Shi Lu to the school outside the fort, and tried the shield and the three-eyed gun together.
When they arrived at the school, Xiao Yi saw that everyone was already waiting, Qi Lao was carrying a half-body-long rectangular shield, Zhong Yang was holding a three-eyed gun, and the two of them were surrounded by Shi Gang and Huang Yang Shi Lu, and they were all surprised.
"What kind of shield is this, why is this strange?" Shi Gang looked at the shield curiously and asked curiously.
Huang Yang also touched his chin, "This shield is so big, can the soldiers move it, you must know that many people are two-upright." ”
When the three of them heard this, they also smiled and said, "How is this shield, you adults will know if you try it." ”
"That's right."
Shi Gang didn't say a word, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he lifted the shield. The whole person suddenly leaned back, and Shi Gang sighed, "Niang Xipi, I have used my strength too much, why is this shield so light." ”
After hearing this, Huang Yang hurriedly pushed Shi Gang away, grabbed the shield himself, and was surprised when he received it, "Although this shield is not as light as Lao Shi said, ordinary soldiers can carry it skillfully." ”
Shi Gang was a little puzzled, "Can such a light shield protect our soldiers, you must know that Houjin's heavy cavalry is not a joke, it will die!" ”
Elder Qi smiled after hearing this, "It's still the same sentence, you adults will know it when you try it." "I'm very confident in my shield.
Shi Lu said hello, "Come on!" Lao Shi, you have great strength to hold the shield, I'll go get the riding spear! ”
After that, he went to the treasury to get a captured Houjin horse and rode a spear, got on a horse, and when Yu Ma posed on the horse, he asked loudly: "Shi Gang, you are ready!" ”
Shi Gang gritted his teeth, "Come on, let me know how many catties and taels this new shield has!" ”
Huang Yang wants to stop it, after all, this kind of thing doesn't have to be tried by Shi Gang himself, you can find other strong soldiers to help, in case you get hurt...
Xiao Yi smiled and waved his hand, and pointed to the field to a few veterans next to him, who understood the meaning, and walked to Shi Gang's back to support Shi Gang.
Then Xiao Yi motioned for everyone to continue watching, and when everyone saw Xiao Yi's movements, they didn't say more, watching the venue, and there were people and recruits in a circle around them.
I saw Shi Lu on a horse, very good at riding a gun. With a loud shout, the horse rushed forward, Shi Gang saw Shi Lu sprinting, and he gritted his teeth even more, and several veterans behind him also gritted their teeth, obviously making great efforts.
In the frightened and expectant eyes of everyone, the riding spear in Shi Lu's hand and the shield on the top of Shi Gang collided and staggered, making a sound of 'bang' and gold and iron intersecting.
I saw that Shi Lu, Shi Gang, and the eyes of those veterans were all shocked, this shield actually really blocked Shi Lu's cavalry gun impact! Shi Lu hurriedly dismounted and asked Shi Gang about it. Several people gathered around the shield, carefully observing the shield, and the shock was even greater.
"How's the shield?" Xiao Yi's inquiring voice came from afar.
Shi Gang yelled excitedly, "Niang Xipi, come and see." This shield is truly amazing, not a little damaged, and as bright as ever! ”
Shi Lu also followed and said: "Yes, if this kind of shield is issued to the sword player, it is really much stronger than the previous rattan brand." The veterans were also amazed.
Xiao Yi also hurriedly walked over, touching the copper skin wrapped around the shield, and after an impact, the shield was still flashing with white light.
Although Shi Lu's impact was only a few dozen meters away, compared to the last battle of Xiaowutai Mountain, the rattan card was only a dozen meters overwhelmed, this shield was enough for the knife players to use, if there is a condition in the future, of course, it will be replaced with an iron and copper shield.
Xiao Yi looked at the three of them gratefully, "The three of them have worked hard to make such a good shield for Yong'an Fort these days, and they should be credited!" ”
After hearing this, the three of Qi Lao didn't dare to say anything, saying that Xiao Yi valued them so much, which already made the three of them very happy, and they were originally a little worried that this shield could not meet Xiao Yi's requirements.
After all, they have lived in this Datong Mansion for most of their lives, and they have never seen a tun official attach so much importance to shields, and are willing to spend a lot of effort to make bronze medals.
What's more, Xiao Yi arranged all their families, and their wages were also paid, so it was too late for them to thank Xiao Yi on this kind of day.
Xiao Yi held this new shield, and his confidence increased a little. Then he asked, "Mr. Zhong, has the Three-Eyed Gun been made?" ”
There were a few people around Huang Yang around Zhong Yang, and when they heard Xiao Yi's question, everyone hurriedly dodged away. Only then did Zhong Yang step forward and replied respectfully: "My lord, thanks to the craftsmen and materials supplied by the adults, I worked day and night to complete the production." ”
Xiao Yi was even happier when he heard it, and the smile on his face was getting stronger and stronger. "Oh? What is the range of the Three-Eyed Gun now? ”
Zhong Yang said with some pride, "The best range of the Three-Eyed Gun is thirty steps, close to fifty meters can break heavy armor, fifty steps away can hit a non-armored target, a hundred steps away there is no lethality." "Of course, this is a well-made three-eyed gun, and most of the three-eyed guns in the late Ming Dynasty were dealt with.
Nodding with satisfaction, the three-eyed gun can achieve such an effect, which has made Xiao Yi quite satisfied. Originally, Xiao Yi's purpose was to temporarily use the three-eyed gun, and when he had the conditions, he would replace it with a more useful bird gun.
These days, Xiao also asked Zhongyang a lot about the Three-Eyed Gun, and he also had a deep understanding of the Three-Eyed Gun.
This kind of three-eyed gun uses only one lead per gun, each barrel is one foot three inches long, and uses two coins of gunpowder and one penny and five cents of lead bullets. Depending on the situation on the battlefield, it can be decided whether to fire in bursts or in unison, with bursts to ensure continuity and salvo shots to maximize power.
Of course, Xiao Yi also knew the most perfect three-eyed god gun invented by Zhao Shizhen, but now there are no craftsmen in this area, and it is difficult to find it for a while. And although Zhongyang is a three-eyed craftsman, he is just an ordinary craftsman, and it is already very good to be able to do this.
"Come on, try!" Xiao Yi took Zhong Yang's hand and walked to the edge of the school field.
"There should be more than 20 steps to the door wall, so please ask Mr. Zhong to try to teach you how powerful these three-eyed guns are."
After half a day, the trial teaching of continuous and unison has been completed. The power of these three-eyed guns is also very satisfying to Xiao Yi, at least it is enough to distribute and use it in a short period of time.
This three-eyed gun can be used for both shooting and melee combat. The melee power is also not small, and the three heavy guns of the three-eyed gun, even if you are heavily armoured, it is enough to drink a pot when you smash it. What's more, against those horse thieves who are mostly dressed in cloth, the three-eyed melee is also very powerful.
However, the god is short and difficult to grasp, so in order to give full play to the melee power of the three-eyed gun, the firecracker has more protection. Xiao also decided to do a little more processing before mass production, adding a wooden long handle to the bottom of the three-eyed gun, which also made it easier for the firecracker to swing in melee combat and did not affect the shooting.
Xiao Yi and everyone came to Han Dong's workshop again, and everyone went to the workshop together, only to see that the inside and outside of this workshop were full of fine soil and sand, and everyone had no place to stay, so they had to step on the sand and approach the workshop.
When I entered the workshop, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by a large square table. Step forward, this square table is a sand table!
This sand table summarizes the terrain, tunpu, canals, rivers, etc. within a radius of dozens of miles of Yong'an Fort, and even the 36 guards of Yong'an have models on the sand table one by one.
Xiao Yi has long wanted to do this sand table in his heart, which is why he has been letting Wang Dayong and his night team explore the landscape for so long, and he often goes out for field investigations. If the shield and firearm are wartime weapons, this sand table is a wonderful use of pre-war strategy!
Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
With such a sand table, coupled with the dun guards, the reconnaissance of the night. Xiao also believes that in the future, if there is an enemy within a radius of more than ten miles from Yong'an Fort and Changning Town, Xiao Yi will be able to know it immediately and quickly make a correct response, at least he will not be at a loss in a panic.
Moreover, Xiao will also know about the various bandit cottages and horse thief gatherings in the area under his control, and make plans early, instead of being blinded like before. This is the pre-war plan.
Only this original sand table was four or five meters long and about two meters wide. Han Dong spent a lot of effort to make the models of each tunbao and dun guard day and night, which were placed on this sand table at this time, and the sand table to be made by Changning Fort was even wider and finer.
"My lord, isn't this our Yong'an Castle!" Shi Gang was surprised and pointed to a tunbao in the center of the sand table, looking at the layman of this tunpu, which looked like a small Yong'an Fort.
Seeing Xiao Yi nodding, even the three of Qi Lao and Zhong Yang watched with great curiosity. Liu Sheng excitedly pointed to a small dun guard model, "This is the five guards!" I was still rotating there the other day! ”
The veterans have pointed out the guards they have rotated,
"This is the Six Guards."
"This is the Thirty-Two Guards!"
Everyone looked at the sand table in amazement, and this sand table was like a small version of their own places. Where have I been, I have crossed the ditch and river, and you can see at a glance that the terrain and landform are well restored.
Seeing everyone's happy looks, Xiao Yi said sincerely, "This earthen plate can be made thanks to Mr. Han Dong's hard work day and night, in the future, this earthen plate will be placed in Yong'an Fort, and when I go to Changning Town, my residence will be changed into a lobby, and this earthen plate will be placed in the lobby, which is also convenient for future discussions." ”
Huang Yang asked, "Change your residence into a lobby?" Where do you live, my lord? ”
Xiao Yi glanced at the direction of Changning Fort in the distance, and said meaningfully: "Naturally, it is the room of the management team of Changning Fort." Huang Yang and Shi Lu nodded thoughtfully.
When everyone left Han Dong's workshop, it was already evening. Xiao also summoned all the craftsmen and said:
"The shield, the three-eyed gun, and the earthen plate are all completed in one day today, and everyone is happy and don't forget that this is the work of the three of them, Mr. Zhong, and Mr. Han. And all your craftsmen are credited, if you want to stay, you can stay in Yong'an Fort and bring your family. Each family can be rewarded with a ploughing cow, a fat sheep, 20 acres of land, and tax-free grain for two years. ”
After a pause, Xiao Yi looked around at everyone and continued: "If someone doesn't want to stay in Yong'an Fort, Xiao Yi is not reluctant, and each person will be given thirty taels of silver in addition to the initial salary for hard work. ”
The craftsmen are fed every day at Yong'an Fort, and they have meat to eat every day, and these craftsmen have long planned to stay here. I have long envied the life of the people of Yong'anbao, and this time Xiao Yi said that it was so rich, how could anyone refuse to stay. They all kowtowed to Xiao Yi again and again, thanking Xiao Yi for his reward and acceptance.
