Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 25: Expanding into an Army (Part [-])
Hearing what Ran Yu said, Gao Jingzong felt very hurt.At this time, he was only 14 years old, weighed only sixty to seventy kilograms, with thin arms and legs, and fighting could only be to deliver food.

Back then, Gao Jingzong weighed more than [-] kilograms, but he could use a big sandbag of human flesh to fight against the enemy.There are really few people who are not afraid of his move.Now this trick has failed, and Gao Jingzong has become a scum with less than five combat effectiveness.

"Hehe!" Gao Jingzong said with a bitter smile: "Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, we are not brothers, but we are better than brothers, who dares to bully you, let's beat him together, even if we can't beat him, I will beat you together !"

Ran Yu snorted coldly and said, "Now that we have the equipment, you won't let my young army play with wooden spears and wooden knives, right?"

"How is that possible?" Gao Jingzong said with a smile: "It's just a piece of equipment, I think Uncle Ji will give me this face. Tell me, what equipment do you want?"

Ran Yu's eyes turned red when he heard this: "You sound nice, and it's not like you don't know that we young people are small and weak. It takes three stones to stretch a crossbow, a long spear weighs fourteen catties, a spear weighs sixteen catties, a light shield twenty catties, and a heavy shield forty catties. We can handle such a heavy weapon, but we can afford it. It can’t take an hour, but how can we fight?”

This was Gao Jingzong’s negligence. The main function of spears and spears at this time is to form a forest of spears to prevent cavalry from rushing into the formation. Spears are generally one foot and eight feet long (about 23 cm. Ge spears in the Qin Dynasty reached four meters. 14) It is not the kind of red-tasseled gun that the children's group of later generations will carry. Since all the members of the Banished Fairy Valley are teenagers under the age of [-], their physical strength is very limited.Not to mention a spear, he couldn't even hold a ring knife.The standard equipment is not suitable for young soldiers at all.

Gao Jingzong's eyes brightened and he said with a smile: "With this, we can build a batch of special weapons for the Boys' Army. The mission of the Boys' Army is neither infantry, nor cavalry, nor city defense. The responsibility of the Boys' Army It is to assist the guards and investigate the intrusion of spies, so it is enough to build a batch of six-foot short guns. The six-foot short guns are more than half shorter than the long guns, and the weight will also be more than half, so that young soldiers weighing six to seven catties should be able to carry them. Get up, let it go."

As he spoke, Gao Jingzong found a branch around him and drew on the ground.The short spears painted by Gao Jingzong are actually the red-tasseled spears used by the children's regiments during the Anti-Japanese War. Regardless of the young age of the children's regiments, after training, holding red-tasseled spears is still quite effective.Gao Jingzong continued: "Since the youth army is an army, of course it can't just be equipped with short spears. The ring knife is a one-handed knife, and it must be difficult to hold nine catties in one hand. But now we have 12 catties of steel, and we can build one by ourselves. To batch two-handed knives is to lengthen the handle so that the length of the handle reaches one foot eight inches, at least one foot six inches. In this way, you can use both hands to hold the knife, and then narrow the wide blade of the ring head knife, which is narrow and thin With a long blade, the lethality is absolutely astonishing!"

Gao Jingzong saw the pictures and data of Tang Hengdao from various materials of later generations, so he made Tang Hengdao in advance, which was invented more than 200 years later.

Hearing this, the unhappiness on Ran Yu's face was wiped away, he stepped forward and said: "Just having knives and guns is not enough, an army without long-range units, isn't that passive beating?"

Gao Jingzong said: "We can make bows and arrows in a reduced version, reduce the tension, and have a shorter range!"

"What's the use of that!" Ran Yu said unwillingly: "The seven-dou bow can shoot eighty steps, and fifty steps can severely injure the enemy. Only after reaching thirty steps can it have the ability to break through leather armor, and it can't do anything against iron armor."

"Slap!" Gao Jingzong went up and slapped Ran Yu on the back of the head, and Ran Yu glared at him. If it wasn't for Gao Jingzong's small arms and legs that couldn't withstand his punch, Ran Yu would definitely catch Gao Jingzong and beat him up.Gao Jingzong said: "You are still not convinced if you say you are stupid. The tension is not enough, the penetration is limited, and the lethality is too small. Can't you add some tiger medicine to the arrow cluster?"

"Tiger medicine?" Ran Yu asked in confusion, "What kind of medicine is that?"

"The so-called tiger and wolf are of course not the medicine for tigers and wolves. We don't have such good intentions." Gao Jingzong whispered softly: "Scorpions, centipedes, poisonous spiders, poisonous snakes, take off the venom, apply it on the arrow cluster, even if it only scratches A little blood from the enemy, as long as the venom enters the enemy's body, they can see Hades!"

"Quenching the poison?" Ran Yu said with a look of ignorance on Gao Jingzong: "You are too poisonous, isn't this what a gentleman should do?"

"A fart gentleman!" Gao Jingzong said: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and the two armies fight against the wise. You don't care whether the cat is black or white. The cat that can catch mice is a good cat. The same reason, don't talk about viciousness or righteousness. Just defeat the enemy and win.”

[-] stones of food, a large amount of weapons, armor and cloth, is a huge project for the people in Baishian Valley, which is more than [-] miles long and has extremely poor road conditions.Everyone worked hard all night, and less than [-]% of the mountain of food was transported away.Gao Jingzong has been unable to complain about the cheating power of this era.

Fifty thousand shi of grain sounds like a lot, but in fact it is less than [-] tons. If heavy trucks are used in later generations, it will only transport fifty or sixty times.But in this era, a cart can hold up to eight stones. Such a cart requires one person to steer, two people to pull, two people to push, five people to walk non-stop, and barely walk back and forth once a night.The deer cart can hold four stones, and one person pushes and one person pulls two people to go back and forth overnight.This is actually very efficient.However, almost all of them were mobilized in Banxian Valley, and as a result, less than five thousand shi of grain was transported back overnight.

Gao Jingzong was about to meet this rich local tycoon, but when he asked, he found out that Yu Bian (bian) of Yixian County and Chen Ying of Qimen had already gone to Banxian Valley first.Gao Jingzong saw such a slow transportation method, it would take at least half a month to transport this batch of supplies back to Banxian Valley.Gao Jingzong said to Lu Yonghua: "Now we have no shortage of food. If you start to recruit people from the ghosts, they are all poor people who are begging for a living in the ghosts. If you can help, you can help. Tell them, as long as you help the exile To transport materials in the valley, one cart will be given to one bucket, and if you bring your own cattle and horses, the standard payment will be doubled."

The Valley of Immortals turned out to be like a huge magnet, which has a great attraction for ghosts and refugees.Some time ago, because the food was about to run out, the influx of refugees was restricted, but now that the Banished Immortal Valley has 50 shi of food, naturally it is not afraid of the refugees coming. In this era, 50 shi of grain can feed 5 to [-] people for a year without any problem.

Lu Yonghua said: "I'll arrange it now!"

Gao Jingzong found Ji Kan (kan means Jianfu Zhongxing) and Feng Lei who were still in a state of madness.

"Uncle Ji, Uncle Feng!" Gao Jingzong carefully considered his words and said, "Now that we have such a large batch of food and weapons in Xiangxian Valley, I'm afraid it's not all a good thing. There is a saying that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. I am afraid that this batch of food and weapons will also bring disaster to Banxiangu. Now you take out the guards and soldiers, change their outfits immediately, and expand your army to prepare for war. First, select a group of young people from among the old people in Banxiangu. If they are strong, they can be expanded into an army, and the food can be transported back slowly, and cannot be lost here. But there must be self-protection strength.”

Ji Kan said: "Our batch of equipment is enough to arm tens of thousands of horses. As for this expansion, there should be a charter! What does Mr. Gao think?"

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation.
