In the following days, Wang Chongyang taught Gushu Zhenjun and others to make innate decisions, while urging Yin Yi and them to train, and at the same time asked Zhang Feng, Gongsun Xiong and others to introduce some smart soldiers to learn from Yin Yi and them.

Two warriors from different eras formed a team of fifty people, each curious about the other, but they also got along well, and the use of the gun was taught several times, and they could always learn, mainly to practice shooting accurately.

And Wang Chongyang also has to pay attention to the movements of the Jiuli tribe in the north, after the last battle, although the cavalry of the Jiuli tribe has no losses, but several generals are considered to have lost in the fight, in comparison, the loss is not smaller than his Guangyan Miaole country.

Since Gongsun Xiong visited him since Wang Chongyang, coupled with Gongsun Ba's persuasion day and night, he has now also begun to become a soldier, although he was ordered by Wang Chongyang to withdraw the post of general who protects the country, but he is still the only talent who can be a general in Guangyan Miaole Country today.

Gongsun Xiong reorganized the old department and began to recruit new soldiers again, and at the same time suggested to Wang Chongyang that almost all of the Jiuli Kingdom was cavalry, while the Guangyan Miaole Kingdom was still mainly infantry, supplemented by cavalry, so it was necessary to vigorously develop cavalry to confront Jiuli.

Wang Chongyang said that Guangyan Miaole Country had few horses, and it was not easy to develop a cavalry-based army.

Gongsun Xiong recommended a person to Wang Chongyang, who was also the old department of the Xuanyuan tribe, who was not good at fighting, but was proficient in the language of the northern ethnic minorities, and could help them go to the northern grassland tribes to buy horses.

Wang Chongyang thought that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought with the Xiongnu, the Central Plains was also not good at cavalry, and in the end, it was also by relying on the people who raised horses in the Western Regions to buy horses, so that they were able to develop an iron cavalry army.

Although he now has Yin Yi's fifty strange soldiers in his hands, Wang Chongyang is not ready to use this strange army until the critical time, and he has not even leaked the existence of this army in his own country, so he agreed to Gongsun Xiong's suggestion.

One day, Wang Chongyang went to inspect the transliteration team and found that a group of people were surrounding Yin Yi, as if they were talking about something.

When Wang Chongyang approached, he found that Yin Yi was holding a crossbow in his hand, made of metal materials brought from 2016, as if he was shooting in a competition with his subordinates.

When a group of people saw Wang Chongyang coming, they all stood on both sides, Yin Yi put away his crossbow and smiled at Wang Chongyang, "Training all day is also boring, so play with them!" ”

Wang Chongyang stretched out his hand and asked Yin Yi for the crossbow, and played with it carefully in his hand.

Seeing this, Yin Yi hurriedly said to Wang Chongyang, "It's just playing, and it won't delay training!" ”

Wang Chongyang was thinking, he really didn't think that if he didn't see this thing, most of the soldiers in this era were mainly spears, halberds, knives and axes, and he really hadn't seen anyone attack bows and arrows.

Wang Chongyang immediately took the bow and crossbow and left, without saying anything, leaving Yin Yi and a group of people with a surprised face, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to say anything, and continued to train and shoot.

Fortunately, these imitation guns are all lead bullets, and lead bullets are cheap to build, Liu Fei has a lot of them, and even if they run out, the replaceability of lead bullets is also very high, so they are not afraid of training waste.

Wang Chongyang returned to the harem with a crossbow, and immediately called Zhang Feng and asked Zhang Feng, "Do you know any craftsmen who smelt blades?" ”

Zhang Feng immediately said, "There are a few in the city!" ”

Wang Chongyang immediately asked Zhang Feng to lead the way, and after leaving the palace, he found a smelter, which was actually a relatively large workshop, located in a bamboo forest, which was hidden and quiet.

After finding the craftsman leader of the workshop, Wang Chongyang took out the crossbow and asked the craftsman leader, "Can you smelt such a blade?" ”

The leader of the craftsmen looked at the crossbow for a long time, but he didn't understand what kind of blade it was.

Wang Chongyang took the crossbow and hit an arrow, and then demonstrated it to the craftsman leader, and an arrow shot out a hundred steps away.

Not only was the craftsman leader dumbfounded, but even Zhang Feng was dumbfounded, "Wouldn't this be able to kill people invisibly?" Can you take someone's life from a hundred steps away? ”

The craftsman took the crossbow and looked at it for a long time, and after studying it carefully, he said to Wang Chongyang, "Your Majesty, the key to this weapon is not in this metal, but in this thread. ”

Wang Chongyang nodded and said, "Not bad!" I suddenly remembered that I had read an article on making bowstrings in ancient times, and immediately said to the head of the craftsman, "The bowstring can be used for cows, horses, and deer tendons, and the bamboo forest outside here can be used for bows!" ”

The craftsman leader pondered for a long time, as if he was making up for all that Wang Chongyang said, and in the end he didn't dare to accept it directly, but just said to Wang Chongyang, "Your Majesty, let me try, and I'll reply to Your Majesty in two days!" ”

Wang Chongyang nodded, and before leaving, he also reminded the craftsman leader, "If you use bamboo and wood as the bow, it is best to use a composite type, otherwise it is too easy to break, and bend the bamboo in the opposite direction in advance, so that the outer layer will be subjected to some pressure first, and the inner layer will be subjected to some tension first." When the bow is used, the outer layer is stretched and the inner layer is compressed, so some of the forces can be counteracted from the inside, and the force on the bow increases, so that the appearance of the bow is formed. ”

The leader of the craftsman immediately bowed his hand to Wang Chongyang and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice!" ”

Two days later, when Wang Chongyang and Zhang Feng came to the workshop again, the head craftsman had already made a bow according to Wang Chongyang's words.

Wang Chongyang took it and tried to shoot it, although the power was not as good as Wang Chongyang's crossbow, but there was basically no problem, but the range was too short, and it could shoot about fifty steps.

Wang Chongyang checked the bow body and bowstring, and asked the craftsman leader what material he used, and the craftsman leader answered them one by one.

After that, Wang Chongyang made a few more suggestions, and when the craftsman leader came to check it after improvement, the bow and arrow could already shoot sixty paces away.

Wang Chongyang also saw that this is already the limit of the craftsmanship of craftsmen in this era, after all, the material is limited.

Wang Chongyang immediately took this bow as a blueprint, asked the workshop to produce bows and arrows in large quantities, and asked Zhang Feng to give a deposit, preparing to change the Wangcheng guards into archers first.

After a few more days, Wang Chongyang couldn't help but wonder if Jiuli Buzi hadn't sent an army to attack him since the last battle.

Immediately sent soldiers to him, and the soldiers who went out to investigate a few days later came back to report, saying that there were tribes in the north of Jiuli who had rebelled against Chiyou, and Jiuli was busy quelling the chaos.

Wang Chongyang said in his heart, this is also a chance for God to give Guangyan Miaole Kingdom a chance to breathe, and it is just an opportunity for his own development and growth.

The next day, Wang Chongyang went to Gongsun Xiong to drink, and by the way, he chatted with him about the next battle, and also brought a bow to give to Gongsun Xiong.

Gongsun Xiong had never seen this thing, so he said curiously, "This thing made of bamboo and wood can also kill people?" ”

Wang Chongyang said to Gongsun Xiong, "Don't underestimate this thing! As he spoke, he picked up a test shot and shot directly into a tree more than fifty paces away.

Gongsun Xiong was suddenly amazed and praised, "With such an artifact, in the future, our army only needs to have one hand, and there is no need to fight the Jiuli clan hand-to-hand, and they can take their lives!" ”

said that Gongsun Xiong still wanted to come with a bow and arrow, and tried to shoot it himself, but as soon as he pulled the bow and arrow, the bow body broke.

Gongsun Xiong couldn't help but look at Wang Chongyang in astonishment, "Your Majesty, it's too easy to break, right?" ”

Wang Chongyang only noticed at this time that it was not that the bow body was too easy to break, but that Gongsun Xiong's arm strength was too large, and this kind of bow and arrow made of bamboo and wood was not enough for him to play.

He immediately handed Yin Yi's bow and crossbow to Gongsun Xiong, "You try this again!" ”

Gongsun Xiong picked up the bow and crossbow and weighed it first, obviously the texture was much heavier than the bamboo and wood just now.

He hurriedly tried to shoot one, and an arrow actually shot through the trunk of the tree, and immediately praised, "Your Majesty, this bow is so powerful?" ”

Wang Chongyang said to Gongsun Xiong, "It seems that this crossbow is prepared for the general, since the general thinks that he will take advantage of it, he will send it to the general!" ”

Gongsun Xiong got this "artifact" and immediately knelt down to worship Wang Chongyang, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

As he spoke, he got up again and said to Wang Chongyang, "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about it at home recently, and I have found that the army has an obvious flaw!" ”

Wang Chongyang couldn't help but wonder, "What flaw?" ”

Gongsun Xiong said, "Every time the army attacks, the order for the general must be ordered three times before every soldier can hear, sometimes, the main army has already arrived at the front line, the rear army has not received the general, and the battlefield is about the timing, so the general order is not reached, it is really a delay in the fighter." ”

Wang Chongyang was silent when he heard this, and he groaned for a while.

Gongsun Xiong said at this time, "So the minister thought of a way, you can set up a herald, with the colored flag as the number, one to one herald colored flag, so that the general can be issued in the shortest possible time!" ”

Wang Chongyang nodded and said, "Although this is better than before, it still delays time!" ”

Gongsun Xiong said, "Even so, it's better than the previous general!" ”

After Wang Chongyang groaned for a while, he asked Gongsun Xiong, "What if the drums are beaten?" ”

Gongsun Xiong asked, "What is the drum?" ”

Wang Chongyang's heart sank, there are not even drums in this era? Thinking about it, he immediately said to Gongsun Xiong, "It's something that can make a sound like a hoop and a thunderbolt, and with this as an order, can everyone hear it?" ”

Gongsun Xiong immediately said, "Of course it's the best, but I've never seen this thing before!" ”

Wang Chongyang then took Gongsun Xiong to the bamboo forest craftsman's workshop and told the craftsman how to make the drum.

Three days later, the first drum of this era was born, and when the craftsman struck it with heavy wood, making a rumbling sound, Gongsun Xiong laughed and said, "So you are deaf, even if you are afraid that you can hear it!" ”

Wang Chongyang said, "In the future, you can use drums as a call to march, and Mingjin is an order to retreat!" If you have an order in advance and retreat, you will not be afraid of any more chaos! ”

Gongsun Xiong immediately praised, "This is very good, and I am not afraid that the soldiers will not hear the order to march or withdraw in the future!" ”

Wang Chongyang was thinking in his heart that there were many things in this era, and they couldn't be done with too high technology, but they could use some of the inventions on the battlefield of cold weapons in later generations.
