If it weren't for the fact that a large group of kobolds fell from the sky after autumn and accidentally cleared the demons who had been entrenched in the Thousand Caves and Hills for many years, then this year's autumn harvest would definitely be seriously disturbed by demons - just a large group of nocturnal demon bats could destroy half of the crops. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even Baron Cavin has to admit that this extra food is due to the kobolds.

Baron Cavin then began to sit on the ground and repay the money, and he could not have more food for two months, but he could advance half a month's share!

The messengers came and went, and the negotiations were unexpectedly successful - the final result was that the kobolds would send troops a month later, and the total remuneration would be three months' worth of food (calculated according to the total number of kobolds of 1,700), and the first half of the money would be advanced, and the rest would be made up after the war.

The triumvirate of the hill of the brave is very happy, the demons also have food reserves, and the post-war rewards can be completely offset by the captured materials, and they don't even need to really pay for it - if the kobolds suffer heavy casualties, they must not have so many mouths to raise, right?

Some people took advantage of it, and even started to ridicule: This archmage little girl is really naïve! The kobold under the leadership of this eldest lady is not to be afraid!

In fact, there are only "one and a half" reliable ones in the total of thousands of caves and hills, and that half-Niu Jingtian - went to the north to pull people to the seaside, leaving the only reliable Xu Ping'an, who was smoky in the iron factory as a whole, and did not have much energy to argue with the 'Hill of the Brave', and the negotiations ended naturally and hastily.

Miss Archmage of the Thousand Caves and Hills didn't get involved at all, she was 'playing' with two middle school students with great interest - the kobold began to train the line infantry!

The most important thing for line infantry is the queue, although there is no need to think about anything like "hollow phalanx against cavalry", but "marching formations to battle formations" and the like are not easy.

Shooting skills can only be regarded as the second most important, after all, kobolds have rich experience in using one-handed crossbows, and several kobolds are even more difficult to serve a gun.

In third place is the bayonet charged, and the Russians say it well: the bayonet is a hero, the bullet is a fool!

Although this is also the part that several middle school students are most interested in, as long as Ushiida is not crazy, it is impossible to give the dog head a chance to fight the bayonet.

Then it's hard and then easy!

Hundreds of kobolds carrying rough model guns made of wood, under the guidance of three middle school level guys, began to line up in the largest caverns.

Guan Renxiu: "Brother, how to practice in the queue, I've only seen arquebusiers in movies, but we can't shoot the full set of actions." ”

Brother Long: "Don't worry, I learned from Brother Xu, just a few movements, let's take them apart and practice them individually, it's simple." In short, let's first let them practice collective assembly, line up, walk in line, and when they are tired, they will have another reloading exercise, and it is estimated that after the practice, it will be time to eat. How easy!"

"What's this, how does it look like gymnastics between classes?"

"Oh yes, why didn't I think of it? It's the same as recess exercises! Just change the broadcast gymnastics: the first section, the loading action, one, two, three, four, and then the second period, the aiming action...... Sister, your idea is good, learn to cook with me!"

"Phew!"

Xu Ping'an was immersed in making arquebuses - everyone knew that the flintlock pistol was better, but no one knew the specific structure. Then put on the arquebus, anyway, the structure can be changed in the future.

This process is basically based on the 6-pounder gun, the steel or wrought iron is hammered into plates, and then rolled on a rod made of iron columns, placed on an anvil with tubular grooves, heated and constantly knocked to shape it.

Because the raw material is either low carbon steel or wrought iron, in order to improve the carbon content, but also depending on the characteristics of the material, add a little toner, after so long of exploration and comparison, Xu Ping'an has been 'blind' to a little suitable steel carbon content ratio - about 1% or so, but also improve the quenching method, this carbon proportion of steel, should not be quenched with water, but use oil quenching.

Finally, the steel plate is rolled about three times, beaten to form, and the iron rod can be pulled out. Then a drill bit made of high-carbon steel and a lathe made of wood were used to polish the inner wall of the barrel smooth.

In order to accommodate the size of the kobold, the arquebus had a short barrel of only 60 centimeters, but a thick caliber of 20 millimeters, and used a mini - a type of lead bullet similar to the shape of a modern warhead, with a hole in the tail and a wooden disc at the bottom.

After firing, the wooden disc at the bottom of the bullet is tightly squeezed into the barrel to ensure airtightness and at the same time prevent the high-temperature gunpowder gases from melting the lead bullet - lead with impurities has a really low melting point. At the same time, the pointed tip of the bullet ensures the stability of the trajectory and does not turn over in the air, which is equivalent to ensuring the range and accuracy at the same time.

Xu Ping'an is still very satisfied with this arquebus, there is still lethality at 100 meters away, and steel armor can be broken within 50 meters, and the accuracy is also good, so you can play the tactics of queuing and shooting.

The next step was to add a crosshair to the barrel, install the butt and trigger at the same time, and add bits and pieces of ammunition packs, paper powder packs, etc., and hundreds of dog-headed craftsmen plus a few captive 'degenerates' and 'demon believers', each performing their duties, and the sound of clanging resounded through the ground.

On the other side, Ushiida traveled day and night, and after a few days and nights, he flew to the Lizard Fortress.

"Little guys, there's a big deal!

This collection is half a day's work.

Taking advantage of the lack of manpower, Niu Ida flew around a few times to check around - the kobold people collected a lot of food, after all, this is a harbor where thousands of people once lived, there are a lot of farmland abandoned in the wild, and the seaside can take advantage of the low tide to catch the sea, and the swamp touches the eggs of toads and birds, and the bits and pieces of dried meat hang all over the camp, and they also spontaneously build a few simple granaries in the camp, and now they have reached the point where they must light fire and smoke insects.

Shipbuilding can only be said to be okay, and now it is still in the stage of processing wood, only a few planks and ribs have been processed, and the keel is not to be considered.

In any case, food was the first priority of post-war development, relying only on primitive collection, food would have to be looted sooner or later, Ushiida decisively left 400 dog heads to farm in the Lizard Fortress, and arranged for another hundred dog heads to continue to make wooden parts on the ship, and by the way to maintain the camp.

The rest of the dogheads took half of their food and prepared to return to the Thousand Caves Hill.

"It seems that I can't control you for a long time, and I can only promote a few leaders, I hope that during this time, you won't make any trouble. ”

Except for a few craftsmen, most of these kobolds were soldiers, and two of them were the highest company commanders, and they were originally given numbers 004 and 009, and the leader of the carpenters was called 005.

"I remember that I had the best intelligence at the beginning, and I picked them out to be craftsmen, 005, you should be the big boss, you should have a catchy name......"

Ushiida glanced at the messy, like the camp at the scene of the disaster, and was inspired:

"You are a shipbuilder, so you are called Titanic!"

The remaining two people in charge of farming also have names - 004 Jack!009 Ruth!

The three kobolds were still dumbfounded, and Niu Ida explained the other precautions, and then took the remaining 700 or so kobolds and set off directly to the swamp.

Kobolds are already accustomed to traveling far away, especially in the swamp where they tossed three times in a month.

Nearly 700 kobolds, in squads, platoons, and companies, formed large and small fleets, rushed into the reeds, followed the road signs left last time, and began to travel day and night.

Ushiida yawned loudly: "I'm so tired, this week is literally heavenly." No, you have to get a good night's sleep these days. ”

After looking around under his dog's head, he found a question: "Huh, the dog's head in these two classes is so fat?"

No. 011 and No. 012 dogs, during the days of the Lizard Fortress, life has been much more nourishing - the combat squad led by these two dog heads has been rushing to patrol, and then all kinds of stealing vegetables, the days are not too fulfilling, their faces are round, and the dogheads under their hands are also balls and balls, standing in a pile of thin dogs not too conspicuous.

It's a pity that Niu Jingtian has a little bit of telepathy with his dragon tooth soldiers, and it's okay not to pay attention, once he gets serious, the careful thinking of the two dragon tooth soldiers will be immediately exposed. Although he didn't care about this triviality before, isn't he idle now?

"Cut, don't worry about it for a few days, go to the house and uncover the tiles! I've been sleeping in the fleet of the two of you for the past few days, remember to speed up, and rush to the Thousand Caves Hills earlier than the other dogheads!"

These two weak-hearted kobold squad leaders tried hard to pretend to be ostriches, and Niu Ida thought of a lot of unpleasant experiences before the crossing: "Forget it, while you have inspiration, let's name the two of you too-one is called Double Eleven, and the other is called Double Twelve!"

As a former courier, these two names are really full of negative energy.

The kobolds work day and night, the oarsmen work in three shifts, and the surface speed is very fast. Especially the two classes of Double 11 and Double 12, in less than a week, they arrived at the Thousand Caves and Hills - these two unlucky people have already lost weight.

"How's the concoction?"

The first thing Niu Ida did to eat and sleep well was to get into the brightly lit 'New Eagle's Nest' and inquire about the production progress.

Xu Ping'an was also tired and thin, and he was about to become a bamboo pole: "Now there are sixteen six-pounder guns, and the arquebus is not counted, it is estimated that there are more than 400, anyway, it will be discontinued soon, and the iron and charcoal have also bottomed out." ”

"Hard work, Lao Xu, you are too powerful, let's call you Xu Cannon in the future! By the way, I'll buy you two girls in the morning, warm up the bed and hammer your legs or something, you can practice the cannon well!"

'Xu Dacang' rolled his eyes: "Sister doesn't need it, you can exchange the money to buy a sister for gold and give it to me." By the way, the two broken twelve-pounder cannons have been remodeled and are now sixteen-pounder mortars. ”

These two cannons were originally going to be abandoned, but they were seen by Tesfield, and it was called a desperate reluctance, and then I don't know what kind of magic she used, so she cut off the twisted cannon muzzle, leaving only the back half.
