Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 54 Brother Dan Tests the Fire
"I'm afraid he won't dare to come!" Tan Zhongxuan laughed twice and left.
From a farmer who has never seen blood, to a habit of cutting off the enemy's head, to rejoicing when he hears of war.
Li Dan touched his smooth chin, knowing that these people can now be completely pulled out and face to face with those old bandits!
He summoned a few heralds to whisper a few words, and everyone was ordered to disperse.
Li Dan himself took Hei Laosi (Li Dan gave him various names and called Heimu) towards a camp fenced by a pond outside the east wall of the temple.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard someone inside shouting a password: "Radiation! Then there was a "click, click" sound, and "bang, bang" sounded more than a dozen times in a row.
Li Dan knew what was going to happen, and the unsuspecting Kuroki was so frightened that he jumped behind the tree, and was pulled out by Li Dan with a smile.
"You, slow! And you! I've said it all together, you know? Together! Everyone else has fired, why don't you two pull the trigger? ”
"Big, big, big, adult, I'm afraid of this pipe, what if it blows up?"
"Fart!" Then came the whistling of the whip.
Li Dan walked into the guarded fence gate, and saw a group of people with their backs to him and Liu Hongsheng, who had an ugly face and hurriedly greeted him.
"Yo, what's going on, someone is angry with the head of the Song sect?" Li Dan asked Liu Hongsheng with a smile.
"Saburo...... Defense, this, this surnamed Song's temper is too bad, whoever moves slower can really fight! Liu Hongsheng whispered dissatisfiedly, obviously coming to complain.
"If it's not harsh, they will mess around when they go to the battlefield. If you can't kill the enemy, can you sit on the ground and block hundreds of bandits? Song Jiaotou is Song Jiaotou, where does the 'surname Song' come from? ”
Li Dan glared at him, and Liu Hongsheng licked his lips and didn't dare to squeak.
At this time, a man dressed in the costume of a small flag of the official army strode over and arched his hand: "Song Zhou has seen defense!" Don't blame Team Liu for defending it, Song is indeed ruthless, but this is good for them!
Otherwise, if you go to the battlefield and are in a hurry, you will not talk about hurting the brothers around you, and if you can't kill the opponent, you will die if they rush over. Such a person harms himself and others, so he doesn't want to join the firecracker! ”
Hearing his words, Li Dan nodded with a smile and didn't say anything, walked to the front of the team and looked at the four rows of former battalion brothers wearing big hats and official army cloth armor.
These people were all selected from one hundred and twenty people from Yugan County, fifteen people in each platoon, and Li Dan in the middle was called "platoon leader", with the left squad and the right squad on both sides, and the two people next to the platoon leader were squad leaders.
The first row holds a square wooden shield unique to the front battalion, a Yanling knife that is convenient for close combat, and a chopping knife or short axe on the waist.
In the back three rows, each person in the back row has a weapon that is rare in this era, except for the Yan Ling knife, or to be precise, in Li Dan's mind, it should be called the arquebus.
The arquebus appeared in Europe in the 15th century in Li Dan's mind, and it was widely used in China in the 17th century.
The history of this world was normal until the Tatars dominated Eurasia, but it was chaotic after the Gutu Khan in the past.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know where he went, and the Taizu of this dynasty started as a regimental training envoy in Bozhou, joined forces with Liu Futong, and was called Emperor Song Han Lin'er as the emperor's uncle.
As a result, unlike what Li Dan knew, Han Lin'er and Liu Futong failed to escape in Anfeng, but were attacked and killed by Zhang Shicheng's generals, and the Taizu of this dynasty was enthroned as emperor in Shu County in the name of the descendants of Zhao Si, the youngest son of Song Shenzong.
However, the later story is somewhat similar to the Ming Dynasty, Taizu passed away, but the prince was in charge of the country but refused to "rule by hanging the arch" in the direction specified by the literati court, but fortunately, he was short-lived, and before he could officially ascend the throne, he inexplicably "collapsed" after eleven months.
His eldest son was enthroned as Emperor Longzhi, but he listened to the words of the literati, suppressed Wuxun and the big family, and exiled 300,000 Zhiyong, Gan, Liang, Qing, and Longshibian of the wealthy families in Jiangnan.
As a result, Taizong raised troops with the emperor's uncle, and the two sides fought for three years. In the end, the cultural people could not resist the Wuxun group, and finally the two sides ceased war, Emperor Longzhi went to the field to become a monk, and Taizong entered Jinling and ascended the throne.
This was followed by Emperor Renzong, the eldest son of Taizu, who reigned for eleven years, and Emperor Xuanzong, the eldest son of Renzong, who reigned for six years.
In chronological terms, we are now in the mid-to-late fifteenth century.
But the first time he saw the arquebus, Li Dan was still startled, he didn't know what else in this time and space was different from his previous life memories, and what different adventures would he experience?
In addition to being apprehensive, he was also glad that this thing appeared. I'm not afraid that you have it, but I'm afraid that I don't have it.
If you have it, you can use, imitate or transform it on this basis, and if you don't have it, you can make it out of thin air, just like a pencil and a carriage steering machine, once or twice, too much is inevitably a little inexplicable.
Now Li Dan is standing in front of everyone, and he understands everyone's mood very well. I haven't seen it, I haven't used it, this is a fire and a sound, much louder than the firecrackers set off during the festival.
Who is not afraid of a group of farmers who have never experienced a big battle? He looked at the people who had just been relieved by the fright.
He looked back at the dozen or so white cloth masked targets standing fifty paces away, and beckoned. Liu Hongsheng's own soldiers peeked out of a dirt pit over there.
"Let's see how many hits?" Li Dan asked loudly.
The soldiers crawled out with their hands and feet to look at them one by one, and then shouted back: "Defend and hit three!" ”
Li Dan turned around and asked a gunner to load his firecracker, took it and glanced at his front, and said, "The third from the right." As he spoke, he raised his gun and closed his left eye, took aim at it, and pulled the trigger.
The trigger was tighter than he had imagined, and it seemed to pause for a moment before he heard a "click", and only after a breath did there be a flash of "boom", and the recoil caused his right elbow to shake back.
The soldier who threw himself on the ground hurriedly got up again and ran over to look at the third white cloth on his right hand. Then he shouted in surprise: "Congratulations, my lord, my lord shot in one shot!" ”
Immediately, everyone behind him cheered and cheered. Even Sect Leader Song clenched his fists in surprise: "Good defense!" ”
It turned out that when Li Dan first saw the firecracker, he was shocked for a moment, and then he went to the official army team to ask who had used this thing, only to know that this thing is still a rarity.
This Song Xiaoqi had been used in the guard, and he actually knew that the three-stage shooting could make the firepower endless.
Li Dan personally asked Sheng to be the head of the sect, in order to teach Liu Hongsheng's team to use it, so that it would come in handy when dealing with You Sanjiang.
They had been studying here for three days, and Li Dan felt that the day was approaching, so he went to see how it was going.
He lowered his head and played with it, and found that there was a line of small characters engraved on the handle of the gun: Jingwu three years of Nanjiao Foreign Domain, East China Sea Li Yue State Made.
Hey, this thing turned out to be made by Nanjiao, is that ......? He wasn't sure if this Nanjiao was the same thing as the Jiaozhi mentioned in his previous life.
"Where did this come from, how did you get to Geyang County?" He asked.
"I don't know anything about defense, Nanjiao is famous for making this precision firearm. Our dynasty ordered it to pay 300 tributes to Beijing every year, and Nanzhili purchased 300 from Nanjiao every year.
It is estimated that this was sent from the Arsenal Department of the Nanjing Military Department. The fire guns they made were also used in the guards, which were better than the ones we made ourselves.
It is not easy to blow up, the parts are easy to repair and maintain, there are not so many fancy, and it is the most practical. ”
"Oh!" Li Dan nodded, turned around and returned the gun to the gunner, and then said to everyone:
"The principle of the gun is very simple, the trigger causes the dragon head to fall, and the fire rope on the dragon head ignites the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and the gunpowder is ignited and the projectile that has been pressed in advance is ejected.
Some people were worried about the explosion of the pipe, but you look at how thick the wall is, and where is it so easy to explode?
Generally speaking, a good gun can be fired dozens of rounds before it needs to be replaced, and it is very good that you can shoot eight or nine rounds in a battle, and sometimes the enemy has already come to the front after three shots, so you need to draw your sword instead of continuing to use the firearm.
Some people say that knives and guns are very useful, why use firearms?
Because we cannot allow the enemy to rush closer, it is better to kill and wound them while they are running, so as to demoralize them, protect our brothers, and give others a chance to prepare for battle.
Someone is going to ask again, so why not use a bow and arrow? Of course, bows and arrows can be used, but it takes one or two years to train archers, and a few days can be used to train archers.
Ordinary bows and arrows can only shoot 100 to 150 paces, but firebolts can easily shoot 150 to 180 paces.
You see, that's the difference between a firebolt and a bow and arrow. ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the crowd of people who were "buzzing" in surprise or surprise. After Liu Hongsheng and Song Jiaotou scolded everyone to be quiet again, Li Dan continued:
"We're going to face the bandits soon.
You can learn the firearm well, and the speed of loading, shooting, and transposition is fast, which may directly affect the success or failure of our army.
Just now your team is complaining that the head coach is too strict, I don't think it's too much! Be strict today, and tomorrow you will be able to bleed less and survive! ”
He said loudly, glanced at Song Jiaotou and Liu Hongsheng, and said:
"You are all my remaining brothers, and on that day, I will stand with you and fight, and my life will be in your hands!
You just load, fire, and transpose, and I'll take care of the rest. I'm going to let you see your family again! ”
After speaking, he introduced his experience of using firearms and several key points of aiming and shooting.
beckoned Song Jiaotou to pass, Li Dan said softly: "It's okay to teach a lesson, don't be injured, run away, and be cold, then it's not easy for my battalion brothers to take it." ”
Song Jiaotou smiled embarrassedly: "We actually scared them, and we didn't fight them hard." ”
"There is a way to punish them." Li Dan smiled slightly: "If one person makes a mistake, the whole class will be punished, squatting with a horizontal shoulder on his back, and the rest of the people will be counted."
Something like that makes people remember it longer, right? ”
"Oh! Yes, yes, defensively, teach! Song Jiao bowed his head and clenched his fists.
Li Dan patted him on the shoulder, and then asked Sect Song to continue to lead everyone to train. Liu Hongsheng sent it to the gate of the village and said: "I didn't expect San Lang to know about Western firearms. ”
"Do you remember the two Tessie books that Sai Kuixing saw from Yang Baihu and gave me again? There's a record of it, and I'm finally using it for the first time today. Li Dan said with a smile.
"You're also a first-time user? Just hit the target? Liu Hongsheng looked at him in disbelief.
"Everything has a skill, and the right tools are good to use! The points I just said let everyone practice more, so that they will not panic when they go to the battlefield. After Li Dan finished speaking, he looked around:
"There are forty-five people in training, and they are all treasures. The remaining fifteen members of your team should also learn to use it, in case anyone is injured or killed on the battlefield, and the alternate can be replaced immediately! ”
Liu Hongsheng suddenly realized and immediately agreed.
At this time, Li Dan saw two heralds standing far away, so he broke up with Liu Er, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Defense, I have already notified the right battalion, and they have already sent someone out to find Zhou Yingzheng to pass the word."
"Okay." Li Dan turned to the other person.
"Defense, I have found the Tanma that Master Sheng left on the side of Dongtang, and he has gone back to report to Lord Sheng after hearing the meaning here."
"Good!" Li Dan happily patted his thigh: "As long as Master Sheng acts according to the plan, You Sanjiang has repeatedly won victories and looks down on the official army, and he will definitely be greedy to capture and divide his troops to the north, and then his death time will come!" ”
He also asked, "How many of the brothers who went out on the expedition have returned now?" ”
"Dozens of people from Zuo Yingzheng came back with Zhu Erye, and they all came back with Zhou Yingzheng. There are about three people who came back from the right battalion, saying that the Zhou battalion is leading people to clean up the aftermath, and it will take about an hour to come back. ”
Li Dan knew that Zhou Qin was acting as agreed. He had to tear down the dam again, and after all the people and tools had been withdrawn, he had to return the borrowed boats to the people and reward them with twenty pounds of rice per household.
As long as this gang of bandits can be defeated and the grain can be transported to Shangrao smoothly, it is not painful to report a little damage.
