Behind the castle is an open valley floor, which is the size of several football fields.

In the open space, ten targets made of round planks had already been erected.

Basically, early every morning, Yang Shifeng would lead ten clansmen to practice shooting and target shooting here.

Yang Shifeng and Yang Shiyuan are cousins, and they are of the same generation as Yang Zheng.

Like Yang Shiyuan, Yang Shifeng also has a strong shooting talent, so he was selected by Yang Zheng to be the captain of the rifle team.

The ten members of the rifle team are all very young and have very good eyesight, so it is very suitable for them to practice operating the 38 big covers.

After lunch, Yang Zheng came to the shooting training ground alone, ready to see how the guys were practicing.

In the distance, Yang Shifeng and others, who were practicing their shooting posture, saw Yang Zheng's arrival, and suddenly, Yang Shifeng put down his rifle, walked quickly to the front and saluted: "Owner! ”

Yang Zheng glanced at him and asked casually, "How are you training?" ”

Yang Shifeng smiled: "It's all pretty good." ”

Yang Zheng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let them shoot a few shots and let me see the results of the training." ”

"Yes, owner!"

Everyone heard that Zhuang was testing their training results, and they were all very excited and positive.

Soon, under the command of Yang Shifeng, everyone held three big covers, put on a correct shooting posture one by one, and began to shoot live ammunition at the target.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With the dull sound of gunfire, an endless stream echoed in the valley, and soon, all ten members of the rifle team, including Yang Shifeng, finished shooting, and each of them fired ten bullets at the target eighty meters away.

At this time, Yang Zheng, accompanied by Yang Shifeng, walked quickly to the target board in the distance and observed carefully.

"Yang Xiaohu, nine shots hit the target board, three of which hit the bull's-eye, well, not bad!"

"Yang Ergou hit the target board with eight shots, and two of them hit the bull's-eye, which is good!"

"Chen Qiang hit ten shots on the target, four of which hit the bull's-eye, hey, this guy has made a lot of progress!"

In the end, Yang Zheng came to Yang Shifeng's target, looked at it, and couldn't help nodding in admiration, "Shifeng, your marksmanship is three points stronger than Shiyuan, and within ten shots, seven shots hit the bull's-eye, I really didn't misunderstand you." ”

After hearing the owner's praise, Yang Shifeng smiled shyly, and didn't know what to say.

After watching everyone's shooting results, Yang Zheng was very satisfied, because the ten members of the rifle team all had a target hit rate of more than 70 percent.

You must know that as a group of ancient people who have just come into contact with firearms for a long time, it is very unnatural to have such an achievement.

Yang Shifeng touched his head and said: "The owner of the village has explained before, saying that let's save bullets, we don't dare to shoot at will these days, and we generally practice shooting with empty guns in various postures, if the owner has enough bullets, our results are definitely more than this." ”

Yang Zheng sighed, "Ten rifles, a total of only 5,000 rounds of ammunition, the practice has consumed more than 1,000 rounds in the past few days, the remaining bullets, must be kept for war, if all of them are gone, when the enemy comes, what do we do to resist the enemy?" ”

Yang Shifeng's heart tightened, "What does the owner mean, in the future, there will be no need to shoot live ammunition?" ”

Yang Zheng glanced at him, lowered his head and thought for a while: "After giving you two hundred rounds of ammunition, after the fight, there is no need to practice live shooting in the future." ”

Hearing this, Yang Shifeng nodded and didn't say anything more.

"You practice well, I'll go to the playground and take a look at the crossbowmen led by Jiang Chun, how they are training."

After saying that, Yang Zheng said hello to the members of the rifle team, and then left the shooting range and walked towards the martial arts playground of Qingshi Fort.

In the middle of the huge martial arts arena, Jiang Chunzheng led hundreds of Han people to enslave and teach them crossbow shooting skills, and at the same time, on the other side of the playground, there was a short and stout black-faced man, who was holding a steel knife, teaching another group of people to practice melee slashing kung fu.

Everyone shouted and shouted orders on the playground, practicing vigorously, looking like a look, quite a bit of fierce momentum.

Seeing Yang Zheng suddenly appear on the sidelines, Jiang Chun immediately brought the black-faced strong man to the front and saluted, "My subordinates meet the castle master!" ”

"Excuse me!"

Yang Zheng waved his hand, looked at the black-faced strong man beside Jiang Chun with a smile, and said, "I don't know ...... this good man."

"He is a sworn brother of his subordinates, called Xu Hu, and he has served in the same army with his subordinates before." Jiang Chun hurriedly introduced to Yang Zheng: "He has a set of ancestral knife techniques, which are very suitable for killing enemies in close combat on the battlefield, so his subordinates are good at advocating, asking him to be the head of the sect, training everyone in melee chopping skills, and asking the castle master to punish him!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Zheng laughed and said: "Brother Jiang is too worried, there are such heroes who are proficient in martial arts in Qingshi Castle, I am too late to be happy, where will I be punished." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chun bowed and saluted: "The castle lord is wise and benevolent, and his subordinates are grateful. ”

Yang Zheng helped him up, then looked at the black-faced strong man with a smile and said, "From today on, you and Brother Jiang will work together to train our people in Bluestone Castle, and then I will ask Mr. Liu to rearrange a position for you, how about it?" ”

After hearing this, the black-faced strong man looked excited, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "My subordinates, thank you for the castle master's appreciation." ”

"Okay, you guys are busy, I'll go to the city defense to take a look."

"Castle Master, go slowly!"

When I came back from the city defense, it was already dark.

After dinner, Yang Zheng returned to the backyard of the big stone house where he lived, lit the oil lamp, and began to continue to compose his own drawings.

He was going to draw the drawings of the skates, and then see if there were any skilled craftsmen in the bluestone castle who could help him make them.

The last time he attacked Panlong Town, he got the three overtime cards, and he has not been willing to use them until now, just to save them, and keep them in the future to find forklifts in the depths of the Infinite Armory.

The basic outline of the skate has been fully drawn, and now there are some details that are missing.

In this era of scarcity of materials and extremely backward industry, it is estimated that it is difficult to successfully manufacture a pair of skates, but no matter how difficult it is, you still have to find a way to overcome it.

Otherwise, if people don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish?

It was busy until late at night that Yang Zheng finished making the drawings of the skates.

Just as he was about to go to bed to rest, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then he heard Yang Mazi's knock on the door, which sounded outside.

"Owner, something is wrong!"

Yang Zheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Come in!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Mazi hurriedly pushed the door in, "The spies we sent out to inspect suddenly lost contact and have not returned!" ”

Yang Zheng's face changed, "How long has it been?" ”

"Three hours!" Yang Mazi said a little nervously. "Usually every two hours, they will go back to the city to change shifts, and from the time they left the city in the afternoon, until now, there has been no news of them."

Yang Zheng took a deep breath, "I'm afraid that there is an accident, you immediately notify everyone, the whole city will be on alert tonight, strengthen patrol and prevention, and from now on, no one will be allowed to go out of the city again!" ”
