Chapter 111: Expansion of the Army
Chen Tianxing woke up early the next morning and went out to see Song Ziyu and Xu Yingnan whispering.
"Why do you wake up so early, it's not in line with your lifestyle." Chen Tianxing asked curiously.
The two cast contemptuous glances, and the little Lori on the side pursed her lips and smiled.
This idiot is known as a five-star hunter, and he didn't even know that he was numb, what an idiot.
"What kind of expression is this?" Chen Tianxing's second monk was confused.
Song Ziyu hurriedly roared and made an appointment to meet the Big Three, so he didn't say anything to Chen Tianxing, and after some arrangements, he took Xu Yingnan to meet Ma Senming.
In the Ma family's house, Song Ziyu told the three of them the news that the Northern Chamber of Commerce would launch a war against Longshan.
Hearing the news, the three of them were shocked, but at the same time, they burst out with the ferocity unique to the people of the last days.
"These guys from the Northern Chamber of Commerce are really haunted, and they still want to beat us like this? But who's afraid of whom! Now we have guns and we can't do it! Tian Yue was the first to speak, looking very angry.
Ma Senming glanced at Tian Yue in surprise, thinking that this was not Tian Yue's style.
However, Ma Senming didn't think much about it, after all, what Tian Yue said was similar to his own opinion.
"Settlements are the foundation of our survival, even if a strong enemy comes to attack, we must resist to the end! But when it comes to resistance, recruiting people, buying weapons, stockpiling ammunition, and stockpiling food are all urgent matters! Ma Senming looked at Song Ziyu and said, "This ...... People eat horses and chew, I don't know how much help you can provide Xiao Song? ”
Song Ziyu heard the words and said: "Don't worry, Longshan is your foundation and my foundation!" We are both losing and prospering, and I will advance and retreat with you. If you need it, I'm here to help! ”
There's nothing to hesitate about, instigation!
It was impossible for Song Ziyu to give up his interests in the Longshan settlement because of the enemy's attack.
After working hard for so long, I don't want to be beaten back to my original shape.
Hearing Song Ziyu's words, the three giants all showed expressions of relief on their faces, and Tian Yue's face was even more smiling.
"So, let's discuss the expansion of the army." Ma Senming said with his hands in full swing.
So the Quartet began to delineate the matters for which they were responsible, and then it was time to plan and prepare!
After unifying his thoughts, Song Ziyu returned to his residence and began to think about mobilization.
The plan for which he is responsible is to first purchase a batch of weapons from the civilized world, and then use them to arm the hungry people in the settlements!
There were only 300 men in the settlement, and it was a bit overwhelming to resist the enemy's onslaught with this amount of strength.
Expansion is the first priority!
But the expansion of the army is not just about recruiting, it also requires weapons.
Only with weapons can you form enough combat power!
So the first priority is to get usable weapons.
Although it is difficult to get guns and ammunition in batches in Yuxia Kingdom, there are always some alternatives that can be used, such as ...... Archery!
As the best long-range attack weapon in the Cold Weapon Age, the bow and crossbow are very lethal.
It was only because of the changes of the times that thermal weapons became the mainstream, and the bow and crossbow withdrew from the practical battlefield.
However, the bow and crossbow still have a considerable market in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Just do it!
Song Ziyu found a shop selling bows and arrows on the Internet, and then ordered 1,500 compound recurve bows at a unit price of 350 yuan. These bows and crossbows are equipped with a full range of accessories, including: arm and finger guards, five-pin sight range, recurve, arrow ring, etc.
In addition, considering the loss of the war, Song Ziyu spent a huge amount of money to buy 100,000 carbon arrows.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars were smashed out, and the store on the side of the online store was overjoyed, and immediately hired a truck to run 800 kilometers overnight to come to Nandu to deliver it in person.
Song Ziyu unloaded the things in the warehouse he had found, and then it took another four days to completely move the things to Longshan.
After such a large batch of weapons and equipment arrived in Longshan, it immediately shocked the Big Three!
Fifteen hundred sets of recurve bows, 100,000 arrows, all in brand new packaging, and even the bowstrings have not yet been put on the new guys.
Looking at these compound bows, the Big Three refreshed their perception of Song Ziyu again.
Xiao Song's path is so wild!
Most of the daily necessities that Xiao Song delivered to the settlement were before, but he never expected to get so many weapons.
These are compound bows, using the advanced techniques of the civilized world, and are completely different from the original bows and crossbows that the settlements themselves have handmade.
The recurve bow with a pulley set is more labor-saving and has a longer range, and the key is that the accessory calibrator can accurately hit the range, which the original bow and crossbow did not have at all.
Just imagine the scene of fifteen hundred archers firing a salvo...... Terror!
The bow and crossbow were just that, and what shocked the Big Three even more was not the compound bow, but the carbon steel arrows that were thrown everywhere like garbage!
The arrows created by this advanced smelting method are not only lightweight, but also have an armor-piercing ability that is better than that of bone arrows!
The three giants took the arrow in their hands and looked at it again and again, studied and studied, but they still couldn't figure out what kind of craftsmanship was needed to create such a perfect arrow feather.
You must know that a considerable part of the arrows in the Longshan settlement are still polished from animal bones, and only a very small number of arrows are cast from precious steel.
But these arrows forged from steel are the strategic reserves of the settlement, and they dare not use them easily.
For no other reason, it's because resources are too scarce.
……
With this batch of bows and arrows, hundreds of people under the Big Three directly completed the costume change, each with a bow and arrows, and two pots of carbon arrows, and wearing elbow pads from the online store, handsome, strong, and energetic.
So what to do with the rest of the bows?
The colony opened its gates and urgently recruited more than 1,000 hungry people as supplementary archers for unified arming and training.
As a result, the armed forces of the entire settlement quickly expanded to 1,500 men!
Don't underestimate these 1,500 people!
This is the pinnacle of force in the history of the Longshan settlement.
Leaving aside the women, old and children, who live in the settlements of less than 10,000 people, there are 1,500 armed men alone.
But even so, Song Ziyu still felt a little unstable.
Song Ziyu is a student of the history department of NTU, and after reading more history, his views on war are completely different.
My own out-of-the-box thinking has long been out of the concept of village fighting, even among the students of Southern University, the wars and battles discussed by everyone are those grand pasts in which hundreds of thousands of people participated, not to mention those world-destroying world wars.
Therefore, there are only 1,500 people, and they feel like they are three words: unsafe!
