Chapter 112 [Exercise (Part 2)]
Behind a half-man-high, slightly broken wall, Zhang Junbao, grasshopper, and black balls were close to the wall.
All three of them were dressed in the same outfit: rattan hat, full body armor, wooden side card, steel waist knife, and a double-tube hunting rifle in their hands.
The whole body armor, wooden side cards and steel waist knives are standard equipment for the elite Song army, and the only special thing is the rattan hat.
The rattan hat is a new equipment of the Dragon Que Army. Its style is similar to the Fan Yang Leather of the Song Army, but it is a little smaller. The Fan Yang Leather is made of cloth, and the outer edge is made of bamboo strips to support the sun. It is good to use as an umbrella. When the archer shoots, it can also play a light-shielding role. In addition, it has no protective function. The rattan hat is different. It is made of old vines in the deep mountains of Lidong, peeled into long pieces, and woven after several steaming and drying of paulownia oil. It is light and hard, similar to rattan cards, which can block arrows.
The rattan hat was inspired by Zhao Lie when he saw the rattan hats and rattan cards of the Li soldiers. The Li people lacked iron, and a small amount of iron was used to make weapons, so protective equipment could only be replaced by other materials. Ancient and practical materials such as vine were naturally the first choice. When they joined the New Army, they were unwilling to wear Fan Yang hats, but went into the mountains to cut down old vines, soaked rattan strips with secret techniques passed down from generation to generation, and woven rattan hats. The rattan hats of the Li people were relatively small, but their protection was quite good, and it was no problem to block arrows.
Zhao Lie drew the shape and marked the size, and asked Hong Siniang to wear a batch of rattan hats. After testing, the arrows were basically bounced away when they shot, and even the knife could not be cut. Only iron axes, spears, sticks and close-range javelins would cause damage. Of course, they could not block bullets. However, in front of the above weapons, even iron armor could not be blocked. It was already very good that the rattan hat could do this.
At present, Zhao Lie lacks iron materials and doesn’t even have enough guns. He can only do this first. In the future, the conditions allow, and then build an iron helmet.
It is not easy to make a rattan hat, and it takes time and labor-intensive. After more than half a month, I only had dozens of them. This exercise was first used. The styles of the red and blue armor and the rattan hat were the same, but the only thing was that the red and blue backs were covered with red and blue round cardboard to show the difference.
Zhang Junbao, grasshopper, black balls were wearing rattan hats, armor, carrying side cards, steel knives, and twenty training bullets were pinned on a four-inch wide belt around his waist. The total weight of the whole body equipment was close to fifty kilograms, and he couldn't bear it. The three of them were among the top physical strength in the youth team, and they had to breathe after a rush.
After the three teams of Kailuo cooperated for a long time, they understood each other and ordered gunfire together. The team of twenty people was quickly divided into five groups, one in each of four, but they had only three people in front of them.
Heimaru was panting and whispering to Zhang Junbao: "Azai, he... didn't follow him, and he didn't know where he ran."
Zhang Junbao looked back at his head for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "This kid is not good at hearing, probably won't understand that he has run into the wrong team. Don't pay attention to him, the three of us will still... Huh! Let's still fight those 'new recruits'."
I don’t know when the fight started, the soldiers of the Dragon Que Army called the newly joined former new soldiers "new recruits" and said a pun. The "Azai" in Zhang Junbao's mouth was the only Li soldier in the youth team. That is, the young man who used a crossbow to shoot Luodian Laoqi and failed to shoot when he attacked Jiyang Military City at night.
Since witnessing the power of guns that night, Azai has to join the youth team without hesitation, and even swears with his ancestor spirit and stabs his arm with a knife to show his determination. His sincerity even Ding Xiaoyao, Zhang Junbao, Grasshopper and others are moved by it and keep pleading for him in front of Zhao Lie.
Zhao Lie considered that there were already some Li soldiers in the Dragon Que Army's Polu camp, and core troops like the Young Team could also appropriately absorb a few reliable Li teenagers, so that they could better unite the Li people. After all, there were still many Li people in Qiongzhou.
So Azai joined the youth team and became the 33rd young soldier. However, Azai's Song Yu was not good at listening and speaking, and it was not surprising that she couldn't understand the wrong team.
Zhang Junbao and Hei Wan respectively looked at the two ends of the low wall, while the grasshopper quietly poked out half of his head from the wall to observe. From time to time, he looked up at the observers and referees who were erecting high on the exercise venue. The watchful fight was as high as eight feet high, and he could clearly observe the "war damage" situation between the two sides, and beat the gongs and drums in time to pass the results.
Except for the sound of the wind and the sound of birds flying in the sky, there is no abnormal sound.
"To be clearer." Zhang Junbao called the two of them over, and the three gathered together into a group. "The goal is to destroy thirty blue soldiers or capture the team flag. We were 'killed' one, and a drum sounded; the enemy was 'killed' one, and a gong sounded. If one side sounded more than twenty or the team flag was snatched, it would be sentenced to lose. We must strive for a complete victory."
"That's it." Heimaru shook his hunting rifle and looked proud, "On Duzhou Mountain, we not only conquer the fort, but also destroy a new army. This time it's not bad."
The three of them looked at each other, stretched out their fists to each other, and said in unison: "Snatch the flag!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shout suddenly came from a distance, and then a loud bang sounded, sometimes mixed with the sound of arrows, and then the sound of gongs and drums started.
The battle was held! The three of them lit up.
Hei Wan jumped up, snatched the gap in a mud house, climbed up the roof like a black monkey, leaned over and looked at the gun. But he saw a faint white powder rising from a alley and four or five mud houses. From time to time, a blue team crossbowmen could be seen leaping arrows, but he did not see the red team gun soldiers.
With the sound of bang bang, Heimaru saw white smoke rising from the chests of two crossbowmen who were leaning over to shoot...
"I hit it!" Heimaru clenched his fists excitedly.
Zhang Junbao leaned against the wall and counted silently: "One, two, three... five gongs and three drums. One of our teams is about to be destroyed."
"Who is so miserable?" Grasshopper was surprised, "It's not our youth team, right?"
At this moment, separated by an alley, the grasshopper's "so miserable" person frowned and stared at the room opposite.
Dragon Flying Wings.
Long Feiyi's combat plan was to divide into five groups, touch the streets and alleys from five different directions, and find the blue team's flag. Any team made any discoveries and immediately fired fireworks signals, and the rest of the teams attacked the place together.
Long Feiyi's group was walking southwest. When they touched an alley, they didn't know whether it was luck or the blue team's back luck, so they found out where the opponent's team flag was. Long Feiyi was about to send a fireworks signal, but unexpectedly, a group of blue team crossbowmen suddenly appeared around him, shooting wildly, and letting out his two alert team members on the spot. Now, there was no need to send a signal.
Long Feiyi and the last team member immediately leaned in the corner of the wall, broke wall and other buildings to fight back. The enemy had at least ten people, and they were like locusts, and they were completely suppressed by relying on two hunting rifles. Despite this, since only half of the head was poked out, the target was extremely small, and it was difficult to be shot. The enemy's archery was exposed, and the target was too large, and the shooting of the hunting rifle was much more accurate than the crossbow. After a while, in addition to the two team members who were sentenced to "death" and left the field, Long Feiyi and the last team member were fine. Instead, "killing" three crossbowmen was considered avenge for one arrow and earned one more.
Long Feiyi also heard gunshots and arrows breaking through the air not far away, and also heard gongs and drums ringing. It was obvious that other team members came to support and confronted the opponent.
At this time, Lao Wan's voice suddenly came from the opposite side: "Captain Dragon, I'm sorry! You come from the fifth round, I'll go all the way. I see if you have two hunting rifles, or if I have twenty bows and crossbows! Surround me!"
