Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 614 Brand New Xuan Ge Battalion
(I had insomnia last night, and my head is dizzy today, so the update is a bit late)

"Old Hu, Lao Hu, there is the latest bad news..."

When such a sentence sounded in my ears, Hu Biao, Yang Dongli, Feng Rui, AT, Dayu and others were standing on a hillside, watching the training of a group of heroes on the flat ground below. .

To be more specific, it is in the various commands of 'stand at attention', 'take a rest', 'turn left' and 'walk together'.

A team of 55 people, under the high-pitched orders of the instructors, began to make corresponding responses continuously, and the responses were quite timely and correct.

From a distance, it really looks like some hands are like fingers.

After seeing such a scene, the expressions of Hu Biao and others were a little strange; what should I say?They all breathed a sigh of relief, and looked like it was really not easy.

Today's time is already the third day of December in the first year of Kaiqing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It took more than a month for Hu Biao and the others to arrive at this place.

At this point, less than a month away from the most important festival of the Han people every year; the current total number of people in the Xuange camp has reached 2839.

Even if the personnel who followed A Li and went to various places to raise funds, and the personnel who followed Xufeng and others to send pensions; and the intelligence team, logistics team, and other related personnel.

There are also 2310 heroes who have been directly incorporated into the combat troops.

These people were organized into three battalions, A, B, and C. It can be said that the abundance of manpower exceeded Hu Biao and others' initial expectations.

At the same time, it exceeded their expectations, except for the number of people.

Also, some unexpected problems broke out in the training of these heroes of the rivers and lakes.

what is the problem?To put it nicely, these heroes of the rivers and lakes are too romantic and unrestrained by nature, and they are not used to the strict military life.

If you have to sound nicer, these people really want to save face.

They are all guys who want to save face and suffer.

So much so that the rule of going to bed and waking up on time every day, and prohibiting drinking and gambling, is even more uncomfortable for them than killing them.

More importantly, they are not used to the training methods and methods of the new barracks.
Fengrui, Big Yu, etc. used to train staff officers in a way of kicking them at every turn; or the way of slobbering and scolding, which was very inappropriate for them.

joke!These heroes walked the rivers and lakes before, all they paid attention to was a face.

Many times, just for a word, or even a look, they will pull out the guy if they think they have lost face, and fight hard.

It's a trivial matter to get blood on the head, and it often kills.

So how could all the heroes stand this kind of abuse and beating, even the so-called instructors were heroes of the Xuan Ge camp, heroes they admired very much.

So the training started only two days ago, there were more than a dozen fights in the new barracks, and hundreds of them went to Hu Biao and Hu Daxia, clamoring to leave.

Seeing this, Hu Biao gave a good explanation.

He explained that the rules in the army were originally strict, and the instructors were right about things and not about people, and after making them pay attention to their methods in the future, these people temporarily stabilized them.

In the following time, Feng Rui and other instructors could only suppress their temper and conduct daily training during the day.

On the one hand, in the evening, some ideological education was carried out.

In short, after nearly a month of tossing, they have always completed the queue training, and let all the heroes develop good obedience and discipline.

After thinking of this, Feng Rui, Dayu and other training staff almost cried out of excitement.

Fortunately, the queue and discipline, after the most difficult part is completed, the remaining training subjects are relatively easy for these heroes with strong individual abilities.

That's why Hu Biao and others breathed a sigh of relief.

What the hell!They finally got through the hardest time; it's just that they soon discovered that they seemed to be happy too early.

Because Yuan Hai, a rookie, a game worker from the modern plane, ran over panting, and then he opened his mouth with bad news...

After turning his head to look over, Hu Biao yelled at the rookie Yuan Hai:
"Don't be so flustered, let's catch your breath first; there are so many people here, don't worry, the sky won't fall~"

Under Hu Biao's sentence, in the recent period of time, Yuan Hai was responsible for intelligence statistics and analysis, and more or less contributed part of his own strength to the team.

It took half a minute to calm down my breath and mood.

Facing Hu Biao and others, it was revealed that a local spy from outside Xiangyang City had just been flying all the way with lightness skills, and urgently sent back bad news:

The offensive and defensive battle of Xiangyang City has officially begun.

To be more precise, about five days ago, a total of [-] Mongolian vanguard troops arrived at the city of Xiangyang with the huge smoke and dust raised during the march.

And in the following period of time, soldiers and horses ranging from thousands to tens of thousands arrived every day.

By today's third day of junior high school, the total strength of the Mongolian side under the city had reached [-]; standing on the city wall, I saw the huge continuous camp behind.

There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, and everyone is terrified.

Originally, they were still dreaming about it beautifully, because the grain, grass and gunpowder accumulated by the Mongolians in Nanyang City for many years were burned by the Condor Hero Yang Guo.

The Mongols were short of food and grass, so this war against the Song Dynasty would be temporarily suspended.

Unexpectedly, the Mongolian side frantically expropriated grain and grass from ordinary people on the territory controlled by themselves in the Northland, and then transported them to the front line of Xiangyang continuously.

In their hearts, the idea of ​​living a safe year this year is completely ruined.

Also starting early this morning, the Mongolian side launched an attack on Xiangyang City for the first time.

Even if it was only the northern Han army under him, they dispatched a total of three thousand-man teams; the attacking troops had no other siege equipment except for some simple ladders.

One can tell at a glance that this is just a tentative attack.

In fact, this is also the case. During a burst of shooting with the defenders at the top of the city, the attacking northern Han army only killed a hundred people in battle, and then retreated in a hurry.

It's just that facing such a victory in the first battle, none of the soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City could be happy.

Because they understand that the offensive and defensive battle of Xiangyang City, which is considered to be a matter of safety in the Southern Song Dynasty, has already begun; and they can't wait for other reinforcements except themselves.

After hearing the above bad news, Hu Biao and the others who told Yuan Hai not to panic a few minutes ago also frowned.

Even if they are based on the plot of the novel, they actually know this:
That is, under normal circumstances, around March [-] of the following year, before the Mongolian Khan Mengge arrived, the offensive and defensive battles in Xiangyang City were actually not very intense.

The Mongolian people only occasionally launched some tentative attacks, and more importantly, they focused on siege.

It wasn't until Meng Ge arrived at the Xiangyang battlefield that the Meng people launched a crazy attack. It seemed that the first real siege had killed tens of thousands of people on both sides.

The problem is, if they really want to prepare everything according to the development of the plot, they won't know when they will suffer a big loss.

The reason is very simple, the grandson of the system is appointed to be among them, and secretly made some tricks, which can be regarded as planting some mines for them.

This thing is like the highest level of lying, one or half of a lie is mixed with ten truths, making it more difficult for people to distinguish.

With such a system of mines, the lethality is even more lethal.

In the end, Hu Biao frowned and thought about it silently, and he already had an idea in his heart.

He turned his head and said to the people around him: "These heroes, the level of subject training in the queue is basically enough.

So I decided that starting tomorrow, the troops will start to practice the battle formation and the cooperation between various arms.

Anyway, within the next month, we need to let the troops have basic combat effectiveness; in this way, if there is any unexpected situation, we will not be in a mess.

After the troops are pulled up, they can go directly to the top.

If there is no unexpected situation, it would be better if everything develops according to the original plot; it is nothing more than strengthening training for the exposed problems. "

Facing Hu Biao's statement, no one had any objection.

Only Yang Dongli raised another question:

"Since there are other subjects to be trained, the corresponding weapons and equipment are naturally inseparable. How are the soldiers preparing? There are more than 2000 sets of armor and weapons."

"The military pawns seem to be in pretty good condition, why don't we go and have a look together now?" Hu Biao suggested in his mouth.

Under such a proposal, everyone nodded.

Immediately, everyone walked together, along the winding mountain road, and walked straight to another canyon several miles away...

******
Wudaoxia, as the name suggests, is composed of five canyons.

With the foot strength of Hu Biao and others, even if they didn't use the light skills that are just getting started now, they soon came to the equipment manufacturing base that they personally selected after some inspections by the soldiers:
Xiangshui waterfall.

The reason for choosing this place is of course because relying on the drop force of a waterfall here, some large waterwheels can be built to provide relatively sufficient power for the hydraulic forging hammer.

When Hu Biao and his group arrived, they immediately saw more than a dozen hydraulic forging hammers lined up along the way.

Moving in a very rhythmic manner, 'Ding Dang Dang~' kept beating the red steel blanks on the iron felt, making them take shape quickly.

In terms of overall efficiency, it looks quite good.

Seeing Hu Biao and others coming, the soldier who was instructing a blacksmith how to make plate armor with a hydraulic forging hammer immediately came to meet him.

After a long distance, a sentence was yelled out of his mouth:
"Hey, what kind of wind is blowing today, but our hero Hu, and many other heroes, have been blown into this broken place of our equipment group, and they are full of glory."

"Stop talking nonsense, we might be going to war soon, so let's see how your equipment is prepared, and how many are there?"

After hearing the words, Hu Biao replied angrily.

After hearing "Maybe there is going to be a war", the owner of the small hardware store also knew the seriousness, and immediately put away the hippie smile on his face.

Without even needing to recall, a string of data burst out like a few treasures:
"The number of armor is a little less. A total of 219 sets of full-body plate armor have been built, and a total of 410 sets of cloth face armor and related accessories have been finished.

In terms of weapons, the situation is better in comparison.

There are 392 Mo knives, 1095 throwing spears with armor-piercing cones, 877 throwing axes, 191 one-handed shields inlaid with iron, 355 one-handed axes, and 366 other various weapons.

Auxiliary equipment such as barbed caltrops and horse refusals had not had time to build at all.

However, as the craftsmen become more proficient in their skills, if they are asked to work overtime for three or four hours a day, [-]% of the equipment should be completed in a month.

If two months later, there will still be a considerable part of the surplus equipment in reserve~"

After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao and others breathed a sigh of relief; at such a speed, there should be still time for equipment manufacturing.

What needs to be explained is that due to the strong individual combat effectiveness of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, the composition and combat methods of their Xuan Ge Battalion this time are very different from all previous missions.

There is no cavalry unit at all, and all combat units are infantry.

The more than 300 war horses seized last time were also divided among spies and logistics, and there was no trace of forming a cavalry unit at all.

In more detail, the situation is as follows:

First of all, this time the people they are standing in front of are not sword and shield players.

Instead, Yishui was wearing a full-body plate armor on the outside and a light mail armor on the inside, like a heavy infantry like an iron can. The weapons in their hands were the famous Mo Dao.

Just like the Modao team in the Tang Dynasty in the past, they chose fat and round men to stand in front of the team like a wall; no matter what came up, they would be cut down with a knife, and they would be smashed.

Secondly, the troops behind the heavily armored Modao team were not crossbowmen, but Yishui spear throwers.

On the one hand, it is mainly about bows and arrows. Without a long-term water-grinding effort, it is impossible to practice an accurate head.

On the other hand, how can the spear-throwing men acted by these martial arts heroes be the same as ordinary people; the terrifying arm strength they possess completely allows the spear-throwing guns to have a super long range and lethality.

In the end, it was the melee fighting team with one-handed shields and one-handed battle axes, as well as various weapons.

Regardless of whether it was a spear-thrower or a melee fighting team, the armor they were equipped on was wearing lighter cloth face armor.

Such a lightness is only a relative term; because such a cloth face armor is inlaid with a 1 mm thick hundred-steel armor plate.

With such a thickness of the armor, it is difficult for the Mongolian archers to shoot through it even with heavy arrows within thirty to fifty steps.

The sharp scimitar in Meng's hand, even with the speed of the horse, probably can only cut sparks on it.

In addition, the helmet, shin guards, and wrist guards are all complete. Maybe the thickness is not too thick, but the defense is quite good.

In short, this is the strength and crushing of the Mongolian side in technology.

Of course, even if the team has enough trust in Wu Zu, a teammate; but since everyone is here, they still have to test the quality of these equipment.

The problem is that Hu Biao picked up a sharpened Mo Dao, and when he was going to cut something to experiment, he found that there was nothing to start with.

Then, Yuan Hai, a clever little man, just said: "The logistics got a lot of big fat pigs today, they can be used to try the knife."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly~" Hu Biao yelled like this...

After taking a deep breath, the word 'kill' burst out of Hu Biao's mouth.

At the same time, the Mo Dao, which was infused with at least [-]% of the physical strength and [-]% of its strength, turned into a cold light and slashed down fiercely.

The next second later, a fat pig that was said to have been fed for more than two years had grown to a weight of nearly three hundred catties.

From the big pig's head to the tip of the tail, it was cut in half, and it was killed neatly.

Immediately on the ground, there was blood flowing all over the ground, as well as internal organs soaked in blood that were still steaming.

After ignoring the above point, Hu Biao took the Mo Dao with long blades on both sides, and took a look in front of his eyes.

It was clearly seen that under one knife, even with the block of the whole pig's spine, that big fat pig was split in half.

But there was no trace of residual blood hanging on the blade, it was still extremely bright.

After a gap the size of half a grain of rice appeared on the sharp blade, Hu Biao immediately gave a big thumbs up to the soldiers on the side.

In his mouth, he also praised without a mouth:

"Wu Zu, your kid's craftsmanship and technology are getting better and better; after this mission is over, open the blind box and open the 'eighth-level fitter skill book', which is no better than that senior old bird Lang Qing. Worse."

While Hu Biao was speaking, Dui Zheng Fengrui, AT and others picked up some other Mo Dao, or other weapons, and slashed at the big fat pig beside him.

Basically, it is one knife, and there is never a need to make up a knife.

When slashing, the overall feel can be said to be extremely smooth.

When I thought of such a knife and weapon, and used it in the future battle with the Mongolian iron cavalry, the beautiful scene of cutting people like cutting vegetables.

Immediately, there were satisfied smiles on their faces.

Unfortunately, the smiles on their faces didn't last long.

That was when Fan Zhu, the chef of the team, died in battle. Because of his good spatula, Ba Long, who was also a temporary chef, arrived after hearing the news.

After seeing the blood and internal organs all over the floor, he immediately jumped up and cursed:
"You guys, are you cheap? If you want to test whether the weapon works well, you go to chop the wooden stakes and find a stone to chop.

I begged the imperial concubine, and I managed to get these big fat pigs. I was thinking about the sauerkraut pickled some time ago; today I will fill some blood sausage and get some butchered vegetables.

As a result, the blood of the pig was bleeding all over the floor, and I even ate a piece of wool. Isn't this a waste of good things? "

Amid Ba Long's scolding, everyone immediately looked at each other...
