Gao Wu Da Xia: The fox demon lady at the beginning

Chapter 24 A Different Army
"Brother Fan? There are a lot of bandits there. I heard there are more than 100 people." The fat man said in surprise.

"The new army has been training for some time. No matter how many bandits there are, they are just a ragtag group. They are just a good opportunity for the brothers to practice their skills."

Han Chufan returned to the pier and stepped up the training of military households.

"General Flag, this is the villain's new gadget." Liu San gave Han Chufan a dark iron rod.

"This is it?" Han Chufan looked curious.

"This thing is called a musket. You put black powder in the barrel of the gun, add projectiles, light the fuse, and it can be fired." Liu San said proudly.

"Is this a musket?" Han Chufan, who came from the world of science and technology, was completely unable to combine the black iron rod in front of him with the guns of later generations.

"How powerful is it?"

"Fifty steps can break armor."

"That's good. If each person in our army could be equipped with such a gun, wouldn't it greatly increase their combat effectiveness?" Han Chufan said excitedly.

Muskets are much better than bows and arrows. Archers need a long period of training to be proficient in using bows and arrows.

The main reason why the individual combat effectiveness of the Tartars and Barbarians is much higher than that of Daxia soldiers is that they are nomadic people. They usually make a living by hunting. They are very skilled in using bows and arrows, and of course they are also very skilled in equestrian skills.

There are no strict requirements for using a musket, it is simple and easy to use.

"However, this thing has some flaws. First, the production time is too slow. It takes a skilled craftsman more than ten days to make a musket."

Liu San sighed and continued.

"Oh, and this thing is easy to explode. Once the chamber explodes, the soldiers who use it will definitely be seriously injured. So in the past, few military households in the border army liked to use muskets.

Most people, when choosing weapons, would rather choose a crossbow that is difficult to use than a musket. "

"Fireguns will definitely be the mainstream development direction of weapons in the future. I didn't expect you, Old Liu, to build muskets. It's really surprising."

Han Chufan knew how terrifying the destructive power of muskets could be when they developed to a certain stage, especially the emergence of heavy machine guns, which completely ended the era of cavalry.

Liu San felt happy when he heard Han Chufan's comment that muskets were the mainstream development direction of weapons in the future.

"Sir, do you think so too? It's really great. Many people still think about bows and arrows that have been passed down for thousands of years, but they don't know that firearms are the weapons of the future."

Liu San felt that he had met a close friend.

"Very good, Old Liu, I will leave it to you to continue researching the musket. In addition to making spears, it will also be your task to research new types of muskets.

If you can build a more powerful and safer musket, I will give you a huge reward, including money and land. "

"Thank you sir, Liu Sand must work hard."

Han Chufan held this black musket. To be precise, it was a front-loading smoothbore matchlock gun.

It's just that the appearance of this gun is too ugly, just like a fire stick.

"I must develop a musketeer team in the future. By then, no one in the world can be my opponent." Han Chufan said with high morale.

Han Chufan summoned the key personnel of Pingan Dun, five captains: Fatty, Sun Da, Liu Tianfei, Geng Chunping, Sun Fangyu, and supervisor Ma Yong.

The first military meeting in Ping'an Dun began.

"We have gathered everyone here today for an important matter. Our first major military operation in Ping'an Dun: to wipe out the Gangniu Mountain bandits."

Han Chufan got straight to the point and stated his intentions directly.

Fatty already knew Han Chufan's thoughts and acted very calmly.The other five people showed surprised expressions.

Sun Da first said: "Captain Jia, there are quite a few bandits in Gunniu Mountain. There must be more than 100 people. It will be very difficult to destroy them."

"That's right, Captain Jia, our team has only just been training, so if we go to fight bandits like this, I'm afraid we will lose a lot." Sun Fangyu echoed.

"You take the bandits too seriously, and at the same time you look down on our troops too much. Our recruits train for six or seven hours every day.

Not to mention other Dunbao troops, even the camp soldiers of the border army can be considered elite soldiers after practicing for an hour in two or three days.Our more than one month of training is comparable to several years of training by the soldiers in the camp. "

Han Chufan said confidently that he knew how bad Daxia's army was now. Many people did not have enough to eat and were as thin as monkeys.

As for his subordinates, they had three meals a day, plus running cross-country and standing in military positions, so they were all in good health.

The bandit is nothing compared to the frontier army, let alone his team, whose combat effectiveness is completely crushed.

"Tianfei, Chunping, you two have served in the border army camp. What do you think of the combat effectiveness of our new army in Pingan Dun?"

"Commander Jia is right. Even the most elite troops in the border camp cannot train once a day. Now the combat effectiveness of our new recruits is absolutely crushing the soldiers in the camp.

As for those bandits, we have killed them before, and those filthy bastards can only bully ordinary people. Once the frontier army charged, they collapsed. "Liu Tianfei said.

"Brother Tianfei is right. Those bandits are no match for our new army. Don't worry," Geng Chunping added.

Han Chufan nodded with satisfaction.

"Our new army in Pingan Dun will fight against the Tatars in the future. Bandits are nothing. Three days later, five teams of the new army gathered and destroyed the bandits in Ganniu Mountain."

"As ordered." Several people shouted in unison.

three days later.

At the Ping'an Dun training ground, five teams of people stood neatly.

After a month of high-intensity training for ten hours a day, the recruits' skin was tanned.

But the body is much stronger than when he first joined Pingan Dun.

50 people were holding spears and stood motionless on the wide training field. Their eyes were full of energy, staring ahead, full of majesty and solemnity.

This is the benefit of formation and military posture training. It makes the team look particularly impressive, many times more powerful than the stumbling soldiers in other forts.

Han Chufan wore white armor and walked to the front of the team. This armor was obtained by him from the white-armored soldiers who killed the Tatars, and it represented his force and glory.

When the recruits saw Han Chufan wearing white armor, their eyes were filled with admiration and excitement.

Han Zongqi led them to open up wasteland, took care of their food and drink, and allowed them to live a good life.

Although it was very tiring during the training, especially at the beginning, many people wanted to give up, but when they thought of the ten acres of land, they all persisted in the end.

Although the training is very tiring now, it is a very fulfilling life. When they return home, their mothers-in-law say that they have become stronger and more energetic.

Moreover, on the kang at night, I feel more powerful, ahem. . .

Liu San, his two apprentices, and his daughter also walked out of the weapons room, looking at this different new army, full of respect.

The military appearance of this army was something they had never seen before.
