Chapter 153 New Weapons Ask for collection and recommendation
Equestrian is Anhe's weakness, Anhe is a modest person, although he practiced for a long time before the polo game, he also thinks that in this regard, his skills are not as good as others, and he does not dare to show off in front of the guards, so Anhe will combine the three teams together, led by Wei Chi Xunyu to train equestrianism.

After asking the emperor for advice, he invited four people from the general as a prisoner, and rushed into the camp tent, sometimes he did not come out for a day, and the guards wondered what their instructor was doing.
In fact, Anhe is improving weapons.
He drew another sketch of Zhuge Lianyu, and handed it over to the craftsmen who would be the prisoner to make 300 pairs according to the drawing, and these craftsmen who would be the prisoner were specialized in making cold weapons, and An He believed that his skills would not be worse than that of Tan Carpenter, and he would definitely make the repeater according to the requirements.
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder was basically not used in the military, most of them were used to make fireworks, Xue Feng according to a primitive firearms production method used by the Song Dynasty army, took a palm-length bamboo tube, one end was sharpened, and the other end was tied with a slender iron rod.
Then, it is loaded with gunpowder and iron sand, tamped, connected to the lead and led out of the outside of the bamboo tube, and then sealed the two ends with yellow mud. Then, the bamboo tube is tied to an arrow with the tip pointed upwards, the arrow is held high, the fuse behind it is lit, and the gunpowder burns to produce gas, and with the help of the reaction force of the gas jet, the arrow flies forward.
After repeated tests, this kind of firearm has been successfully developed, which can shoot dozens of feet, and after reaching the target, the rocket explodes, and the iron sand scatters and injures the enemy, which is extremely powerful. An He gave this murderous weapon a nice name, "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers".
The second mysterious weapon he developed was called the Stone Mine.
Landmines have a history of more than 500 years in China, and they were first invented and created by weapons manufacturers in the Ming Dynasty and were widely used in warfare.
The Ming Dynasty military book "Wubei Zhi" records the shape and characteristics of more than 10 kinds of mines, and draws a map of the structure of mines.
Most of the mines are made of stone, pottery, and iron, and they are buried in the ground, and they use firing devices such as stepping hair, tripping hair, pulling hair, and igniting hair to kill and injure the enemy. But in the Tang Dynasty, it was definitely a blank.
The method of making mines mentioned above, An He has never seen it, and the smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty is not very developed, so he does not dare to use metal to make mines.
However, when Anhe was a child, he watched a movie called "Mine Warfare", in which the guerrillas used stones to make mines, and the method was simple and practical.
There are stones all over the mountain, An He and the craftsmen tried to make the stones into a round or square with their memory, dig a deep hole in the middle, fill it with gunpowder, and then pestle, leave a small gap to insert a thin bamboo tube or reed pipe, pull out the fuse and dare to use iron to make a mine, and then seal the mouth with pulp mud, bury it in the place where the enemy must pass, and when the enemy is near, light the fuse and detonate the mine.
To increase his power, he also mixed iron sand with the explosives in the mines. Xue Feng named this kind of mine "Thundering Thunder".
After consulting the emperor, several houses were built on a vacant land in Zhongnan Mountain, and a large number of laborers were recruited, and under the guidance of the craftsmen who would be the supervisors, the above three weapons were made day and night.
In less than a month, An He and Wei Chi Xunyu trained this group of guards to be neat and high-spirited, like a sword out of the sheath, with a sharp edge.
On an open ground in Zhongnan Mountain, Li Zhi, Empress Wang, Wu Mei, the general Li Shiji, Jiangxia King Li Daozong, the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhang Xingcheng and others rode on horses with great interest to watch the actual military exercises of the Iron Blood Battalion.
The idea was put forward by Wu Mei, firstly, she wanted to see how Anhe's military training was, and secondly, she hadn't seen Anhe for a long time, and there was always a desire to see Anhe in her heart.
In fact, An He didn't want to make a big deal of it about military training, he knew that since ancient times, the emperors were quite jealous of the people who led the troops, and there were too many things in the history of "rabbits and dead dogs, and birds were all bowed", and even a generation of sages Li Shimin was also careful to watch out for Li Jing, the god of war in the early Tang Dynasty, and gave both grace and power, fortunately, Li Jing knew the importance of Taoguang and obscurity, and in his later years, he sealed the door with a stone, stayed at home, refused all visits, and finally had a good death.
He was appointed as the general of the Hundred Cavalry Army of the Fourth Rank at a young age, and how to hold the military power again will inevitably be jealous of the ministers of the DPRK and China.
But the emperor's will, although An He is a hundred reluctant, still has to do it.
At this time, An He was dressed in silver bright light armor, carrying the Longyuan sword given by Li Xiaojiu at his waist, and riding a Turkic horse Dabao like black satin, majestic and magnificent.
Wu Mei's eyes lit up, her eyes stopped on An He's body for a long time, and she couldn't bear to leave.
The two hundred and ninety-five guards of the Iron Blood Battalion were divided into three teams, lined up, all full of spirit and bright armor.
An He majestically glanced at the guards on the field and asked loudly:
"Guards, what are we training?"
"Swear allegiance to the emperor, protect the safety of the palace, be determined to fight on the battlefield, and promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty!"
Nearly 300 soldiers spoke in unison, and the sound vibrated Lin Yue.
The eldest grandson Wuji whispered to Li Shiji beside him:
"This kid is really good at slapping the emperor's ass!"
Li Shiji smiled slightly and said disdainfully:
"It's just an embroidered pillow, and it's useless."
Li Shiji didn't believe that a teenage hairy boy would train any decent soldiers.
And Li Xiaojiu and Wu Mei on the side were very happy.
"Thousands of clothes are worn, but sycophants are not worn", even if it is the emperor.
An He nodded slightly to Wei Chi Xunyu, who was also wearing armor, Yu Chi Xunyu knocked his horse, stepped off his horse and walked a few steps forward, the red flag in his hand was raised, Huang Yuhu led a team of cavalry to gallop back and forth in the field full of obstacles and traps, the sound of horse hooves was deafening, and the wolf smoke soared into the sky in the field, although the cavalry was extremely fast, the formation was orderly and not chaotic.
On one side of the field lay more than a hundred egg-sized stones, which were too small to be seen without looking closely.
The cavalry were flying as fast as horses, and when they passed by the stones, the guards on horseback disappeared suddenly, and when they looked closely, the people were attached to the belly of the horses, and the men and horses were one, and then in a blink of an eye, the people were already on horseback, and more than a hundred people passed by one by one, and when all the cavalry stood in a straight line again, each of them held a small stone the size of an egg in their hands.
The onlookers suddenly let out thunderous cheers.
Wei Chi Xunyu, who was riding on the horse, had a pale face, because these cavalrymen were all trained by him.
The red flag was raised again, and three teams of guards came to a row of arrows in a neat line, each holding a bow and crossbow with a box in his hand. Aimed at the target in front of him.
An He gave an order:
"Put!"
After a loud "collapse" and a "brush" sound, a shadow composed of countless crossbow arrows rose from in front of the guards, and flew towards the arrow target in front of them like locusts.
In an instant, the first row of guards had shot all ten crossbow arrows in the quiver box.
After the first row of guards finished shooting, they quickly squatted down, and the second row of guards did the same, still "collapsing", brushing the ground and shooting, and then quickly squatting, followed by the third row.
After the guards in each third row had finished shooting the arrows in the quiver box, the guards in the first row had loaded the other ten arrows, stood up, and fired another round, and after three rounds, the target in front of them had become a hedgehog.
From the moment they raised their crossbows to the moment they shot them, the guards moved in surprisingly unison.
Both An He and the guards had a sense of accomplishment, because for this harmony, they practiced for more than ten days.
The layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway, the left servant shoots Li Shiji has seen this scene, and he is secretly frightened, he has spent most of his life on the battlefield, and knows that the most important thing on the battlefield is the speed of the soldiers, and sometimes a few seconds can determine the outcome of a battle.
The guards use this kind of bow and arrow that can be fired continuously, on the battlefield can save more than half of the preparation time, a row of shooting, and then change to another row of shooting, can give the enemy a continuous blow, if this tactic and the bow and crossbow are used on the battlefield, the power must be very amazing, at first he thought that a half-sized son training soldiers, but in vain time, labor. But after watching the drill just now, Li Shiji thought to himself:
Not to mention, this kid is really a bit of a doorway.
After watching the two drills, Li Xiaojiu and Wu Mei exchanged glances.
Li Xiaojiu smiled slightly and nodded:
"Well, it's not bad, it looks like An He has put in a lot of effort!"
The black and thin Li Daozong, stroking his beard with his hands, slightly fascinated by his slightly short-sighted eyes, laughed and said:
"After decades of fighting on the battlefield, it's the first time I've seen this kind of crossbow that can fire ten arrows in a row, if this thing is used on the battlefield, it's a rare killing weapon!"
The eldest grandson Wuji on the side thought so, although he didn't have a good impression of An He, he had to agree with Li Daozong's opinion.
Li Daozong rode on his horse and shouted at An He:
"Good boy, good! Not bad! ”
An He thought to himself:
The show is still to come, so keep watching. (To be continued.) )
