Wang Rong looked at the two masters and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to say goodbye that day, and I can see the two masters again today, I have some things here that need to be referred to in detail." ”

Xu Forging listened to Wang Rong's words, his eyes lit up, he knew that Wang Rong had an idea again, the original cavalry Sanbao was thought up by the young lieutenant in front of him, and he also drew drawings.

Wang Rong did not disappoint the two masters, he took out a few drawings, Lin Musen could see at a glance that this was a new type of wheel, but the wheel for drawing water was a little different.

The most common water lifting facility in rural areas is a water extraction tool that evolved from levers. It is composed of a roller head, a bracket, a well rope, a water bucket and other parts. The bracket has three legs, and the three points form a plane, so that the roller stands firmly at the wellhead. The head of the roller is a log with a shaft hole, the bracket is worn on the shaft, and the rope is wound on it, and the rope head is tied to a water bucket, and the handle is embedded in the head of the roller, and the handle is rotated so that the bucket falls together and the well water is extracted.

The wheels drawn in these drawings of Wang Rong are not used to lift water, but to lift heavy objects. The core component of this new type of wheel is a wheel that rotates around a central axis, and the wheel has grooves around it, which wraps the rope around the grooves, and pulls either end of the rope hard, and the wheel rotates around the central axis. And this new type of roller can also be installed anywhere it is needed, which is simply not too convenient.

Lin Musen spoke: "Lord Duwei, this kind of wheel is not used on the well. ”

Wang Rong said with a smile: "It is indeed not used to draw water, it is used to pull heavy objects, which can pull heavy objects from low places to high places, and can also pull heavy objects from high places to low places." ”

Lin Musen understood, and he said excitedly: "That means that in the future, whether it is to build a wall, build a house, or build a city wall, you can use it, and there is no need to erect bulky brackets, or use the laborious method of rolling wood to move things up?!" ”

Wang Rong nodded, and then said to Xu Tuo: "Master, I think our craftsmen and masters all use manpower to forge hammers to beat iron, and our Fertile City is close to the big river, why don't we use water power?" ”

Xu Forging looked at Wang Rong and showed a helpless wry smile: "Don't mention it, we have thought of many methods, but they all failed, the wooden wheel couldn't withstand the impact of the big river at all, and it didn't last long before it was crushed." ”

Wang Rong was puzzled: "Then why didn't you use iron?" ”

Xu Forging looked at Wang Rong like a monster and said, "Lord Duwei said with a smile, how can an iron thing be put into a big river, and something that is not so strong can bear the weight." ”

Wang Rong did not refute, indeed, with the current quality of steel, it is impossible to achieve the strength and lightness of later generations. He has limited technology now, and he can't do anything to improve the steel process or anything.

Wang Rong looked at the two of them and said, "The junior wants to invite the two masters to settle in the city. ”

"Cave City? Isn't it already abandoned? Xu Duan asked suspiciously.

Wang Wei shook his head and said: "It has been rebuilt by me, what I mean is to place the homes of the two masters there, there is Tu Shenze in the north, it is a good water resource, and many things I think can be realized there." ”

People in this era pay more attention to relocation, and it is difficult to leave their homeland. Although Wang Rong was asking for their opinions, Xu Forging and Lin Musen knew that they had already boarded Wang Rong's thief ship, and if they didn't agree, it was estimated that the end would not be good.

"Wang Mao, you take the two masters, their apprentices and their families, and quickly go to the city for resettlement, you must arrange it, don't make any mistakes, and then let the two masters start researching." Wang Rong handed Wang a wooden box containing his improved manuscripts on some techniques. Wang Mo took the wooden box and immediately began to arrange, and left with Xu Forging and Lin Musen.

Wang Rong began to prepare for training, and since the beginning of summer, the weather has become hotter and hotter, but the nights are still very cool. Under the bright sun, the sky is cloudless, and the bright sunlight is sprinkled all over the school field, which is the size of a football field, which can accommodate more than 500 people for training.

Sledgehammer stood on a high platform of more than one meter, looking seriously at the village soldiers trained below, and next to him stood copper cymbals, gongs, cowhide drums, and a large number of colorful flags.

When he saw Wang Rong, he ordered the training of the village soldiers to be stopped, jumped off the high platform, bowed and saluted: "Captain! ”

Wang Rong looked at him, nodded and returned a military salute, and the villagers below saluted a little sloppily: "Du Lieutenant!! ”

Wang Rong listened to this mess, his brows furrowed slightly, but he was quickly relieved, these township soldiers had only been trained for a week, and now they can stand in formation, which is the strong ability of the sledgehammer.

"Captain, please advise." Sledgehammer smiled and said.

The corners of Wang Rong's mouth twitched slightly: "Advice? Yuan Tiangang, you want to see my jokes, I will, you will; I won't, you will, you let me advise? ”

Sledgehammer scratched his hair and said with a smile: "Eh, Captain, you are laughing, how dare I!" ”

Wang Rong looked at the sledgehammer and said, "Busy with you, I'll take a look at it." ”

The sledgehammer answered, stood behind Wang Rong, and led him to the high platform. When the two generals sat down on the high platform, the formation flag on the high platform was waved again, the snare drum was beaten, and the village soldiers below quickly took action.

The 500 people marched in unison, and the forward formation of the drill, from the high platform to the wooden fence of the school yard in the distance, the formation was scattered, some could not distinguish between the left and right, the front and back, and some turned smoothly. The clothes of the township soldiers were also messy, some were leather robes, some were linen robes, and they wore leather robes in the summer, which made the corners of Wang Rong's mouth twitch. The weapons in their hands are also of different styles, different lengths, and uneven.

In such a chaotic situation, Wang Yi frowned when he saw it, and the sledgehammer saw his expression, and his heart was worried.

Wang Rong stopped training with a loud voice: "Stop, you can't train like this, and besides, this flag is too obvious, too complicated, too messy, these township soldiers are illiterate, and they can't understand the flag at all." ”

Sledgehammer said loudly: "Eh, Captain, we all came here at that time, but you are literate and faster than us." ”

Wang Rong glanced at him, and was really embarrassed to say, it's okay to lose it quickly, it's a hundred million dollars. He said directly: "See, more than half of the people here can't even tell the difference between left and right, you have people prepare red linen cloth and tie it to their right arm, so that they can distinguish between left and right." Don't train these complex formations, just train two formations, one square and one hollow square. ”

Sledgehammer said in embarrassment: "Captain, what is the use of this phalanx, it is usually the spearmen who set up the phalanx." Also, the hollow phalanx, I won't. ”

Wang Rong looked at the embarrassed sledgehammer, sighed, stood up directly, and personally demonstrated the sledgehammer. Wang Rong did not intend to use the golden drum and banner to command these 500 township soldiers to set up a formation. The commander commanded the army, not by roaring to give orders, but by the golden drum and banner. In military law, the rules and regulations of the Golden Drum and Banner are extremely strict, simple, easy to understand, clear and effective.

It is mainly based on the big drum of the Chinese army, supplemented by the small drums of each team.

The big drum sounded, and the whole army went out. When the small drums of each team sounded, the soldiers took a step forward, and the drums were unhurried and unhurried, similar to the slogan of "one, two, one" in unison in later generations, and guided the soldiers forward with a specific frequency.

The big drum sounded three times in a row, and the whole army rushed forward. The military formation should be able to advance quickly, but not be disjointed or scattered, and have enough physical strength to kill the enemy. The small drums of each team sounded, and the soldiers ran forward ten paces.

When the big drum is beaten continuously, the whole army charges.

Of course, on the battlefield, it is not just the sound of drums, and complex military orders are transmitted by flags.

Wang Rong stood in front of the 500 township soldiers and first summoned all the officers above the rank of chief to the front. Beginning to fiddle with each of them, he asked each of the township officers to roll up their right sleeve.

"Remember this arm, this is the right hand, the right arm, the right leg, the right foot. When asked to turn right, turn to the right-hand side. When asked to turn left, turn to the left. ”

After Wang Rong taught the officers, he let them return to their own troops, and then began the training of the whole army, in addition to the forward, backward, left and right steering training, as well as standing in a military posture, standing and walking in unison, and copied all the military training subjects of the later generations of flower planters.

After a few days of training, the entire township army finally took shape. Sledgehammer looked at Wang Rong's gaze and admired it even more. After the township soldiers had learned these basics, Wang Rong began to teach them the phalanx, and at this time the township soldiers had already changed their outfits, in addition to the simple wooden armor used for training, each person also had a two-zhang wooden spear in his hand.

When he saw the ordnance on the villagers, Chu Kun, who came to visit, was stunned by Wang Di's thoughts. These villagers had wooden knives hanging from their waists, bows and crossbows on their backs, and even wooden shields.

"Captain, are you sure you will equip these villagers like this in the future? You wouldn't want to equip each person with a warhorse, would you? And what's going on with the food of these village soldiers these days? Why do you have meat every day, this is all catching up with the treatment of the Yulin Army. If this continues to be consumed, the county government will be declared bankrupt. "The word bankruptcy was learned by Chu Kun from Wang Di. And this worry of his is exactly what Wang Rong thinks in his heart.

"Lao Chu, is this war, it is all two shoulders with a head, if you want to win the war on the battlefield, the first thing is to let the soldiers have a strong physique, meat is a necessity, this piece can't be saved. The second is armament and logistics, if my soldiers are all this kind of all-round troops, then think about it, how much headache the enemy must have: if he sets up a spear formation, I will shoot him with bows and arrows and crossbows; He swings his bow and crossbow, and I raise my shield to defend it; He set up his shield, and I pierced him with my spear. Wang Rong explained earnestly.

Chu Kun was embarrassed to interrupt, he listened to Wang Rong's explanation, and pointed to the core of the problem: "Duwei, your idea is very good, but have you ever thought about where the iron comes from?" Where does the money come from? And you will definitely not only train the village soldiers of Woye City, but also the other two cities and two fortresses, you must do the same, then, the equipment of more than 3,000 people, please forgive the old man for his incompetence, allow the old man to resign, and let the old man live for a few more years. ”

Chu Kun really admires this young lieutenant, he can really toss. The equipment of more than 3,000 people, that is, 9,000 horses, mules, donkeys, more than 3,000 two-foot spears with iron spearheads, more than 3,000 ring-headed knives, more than 3,000 wooden shields, more than 3,000 bows, more than 3,000 crossbows, and countless arrows. This equipment has already caught up with the Yulin Army, just Shuofang County, a place with poor mountains and bad waters, where do you let him go?
