Li Xiao immediately ordered that the Taiwan Steel Factory should start production and production with this magic crossbow as a prototype.

At the same time, Li Xiao emphasized that in order to speed up production progress, all ingredients and materials will be given priority to the production of Shenji Crossbows. If manpower is insufficient, a group of temporary workers can be recruited urgently and overtime production can be completed to ensure that the crossbow soldiers trained now can use Shenji Crossbows one person as soon as possible.

While catching up with the progress, Li Xiao absolutely did not relax his quality control.

He specially arranged a group of quality inspection personnel to strictly check the entire production work and each production process. Each output of the magic crossbow component has a craftsman named it to ensure that in case of quality problems, the source can be traced accurately to pursue the responsibility of the producer.

In fact, this method is also used by steel mills when living in other devices.

However, because the quality of this divine crossbow is related to the major issues such as whether the Tang army can successfully take over Mindanao and whether it can defeat the Majingdanu Kingdom, Li Xiaocai specially arranged a group of quality inspection personnel to come, hoping to use strict inspection methods to make the produced divine crossbows of excellent quality, so that the crossbow soldiers can use it with confidence.

Li Xiao asked that within two months, the Taiwan Steel Plant would at least build a total of crossbowmen, which would meet the number of god-machine crossbows needed, that is, 3,060, so that Cao Bianjiao's troops, who are now stationed in Mindanao, could launch a new attack on the Majingdanu country.

At the same time, after producing two prototypes, Li Xiao immediately sent someone to urgently send the two prototypes to Tielong City, Shan County, Shandong, so that they could also drive full power to produce such a magic crossbow to complete the troops' loading work as soon as possible.

From then on, Li Xiao, two important steel bases in the north and north have begun to produce this kind of magic crossbow with all efforts. Each assembly line works day and night, and works overtime to produce at twelve hours a day.

While the Shenji Crossbow was being made quickly, the training of newly recruited soldiers in Kaohsiung, Taiwan was also underway.

On one of the fields, the person in charge of training was Li Haoran, the former captain of the guard of Li Xiao.

It turned out that after conquering Manila, Li Haoran, the captain of the guard who had been with Li Xiao for several years, took the initiative to go to the grassroots troops to train and improve. Li Xiao thought about it and finally agreed to his request.

After all, Li Haoran is getting older and he is also a person who is eager to make achievements. If he always keeps him by his side, it will be detrimental to his growth.

However, because there is no transfer of the chief officer of the army for the time being, Li Xiao cannot let Li Haoran start from an ordinary soldier at the lowest level, so Li Xiao can only let his own guard captain Li Haoran wait for the opportunity. After having a suitable position, it is not too late to put him in the grassroots troops.

Now, after this vigorous rectification and adaptation in Pingnan Town, Li Haoran has finally ushered in an opportunity.

He was appointed by Li Xiao as the commander of the B general of the B camp of Pingnan Town. In addition to thirty elite guards, he also was in charge of 1,530 shield soldiers and 3,060 crossbow soldiers.

Now, he is personally leading the troops under his command to conduct strict and arduous training on the troops under his command in the training ground outside Kaohsiung City.

These recruits have undergone a series of basic exercises such as physical training, queue training, cooperation training, and password training in the past few months. Now they are practicing their professional skills hard.

Now, among the generals of B camp B, the training of crossbow soldiers is the responsibility of the general commander Li Haoran, while the simpler shield training is the responsibility of the deputy general commander of the general, Xu Erxian, the former general of the Qing Dynasty, the former general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Shangkexi.

After Xu Erxian surrendered to Li Xiao in Jinzhou, Liaodong, he was sent to Taiwan by Li Xiao along with another Jinzhou garrison Wanyan Yechen who was forced to surrender.

After several months of brainwashing education in Taiwan, Wanyan Yechen was appointed as the chief of the General Office of the B, B, Pingnan Town. After participating in the battle to attack the central Philippines islands, he was recently transferred to Andong Town and transferred to Heiyi Island.

Xu Erxian was appointed as the deputy commander of the third sentry of the Bing C in Pingnan Town. Because of his outstanding performance in the battle against Luzon, he was promoted to the second sentry of the Bing A of the Bing A of the Bing in Pingnan Town after the war. Now, because he created a new camp, he was transferred from the Bing A of the Bing A by Li Xiao and specially appointed as the deputy commander of the Bing B of Pingnan Town.

Under the hot sun, all the crossbow soldiers were sweating like a slurry, but everyone stood up straight, with a high and serious expression on their faces.

They were called one by one by the chief Li Haoran to shoot the magic crossbow one by one.

Originally, each of these crossbow soldiers had to be equipped with a steel crossbow, but because the production progress of Taiwan’s steel mills is still far from keeping up with the needs of use, he could only make fifty or sixty training sample crossbows first and allocate them to the crossbow soldiers in the training ground for training and use.

"Tan Sangou, come out of the list, it's your turn to!"

The chief general Li Haoran shouted majesticly, pointing to the human-shaped butt sixty steps away.

Tan Sangou was from Zhili, Northern China, and his family was located in the outskirts of Liangxiang County, which was quite close to the capital. However, because at the beginning of the 12th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army entered the pass for the fourth time, and Liangxiang County fell into the hands of the Qing army. Many military and civilians, including the county magistrate, were killed by the Qing army. All the villages near Liangxiang County were slaughtered by the Qing army.

Tan Sangou's family had to become refugees because their home was destroyed. While fleeing south, his elder brother, Tan Dagou, and his sister-in-law, Ma, were all captured by the Qing army and disappeared from now on.

Unexpectedly, after their family fled south to Zhuozhou and defected to relatives and friends, the Qing army attacked again. The whole city's military and civilians became turtles in a jar and could not escape any more.

The Tan Sangou family, who originally thought they were dead, never expected that they would have the chance to escape.

This is because Li Xiao urgently led his army to aid in order to rescue Lu Xiangsheng, who was trapped in Zhuozhou City. When Zhuozhou City was almost captured by the Qing army, he promptly repelled the Qing army and saved the lives of the people in the city.

Subsequently, Tan Sangou was transported to Shandong by the Tang army and brought to Dengzhou, Shandong together with tens of thousands of people in other Zhuozhou cities.

Next, Tan Sangou and his family were transported from Dengzhou, Shandong to Taiwan to settle down. The family distributed land at the border between Kaohsiung and Taitung, and finally settled down.

However, in Taitung area at this time, there were still many natives who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Tang army. These natives kept haunting villagers who were farming in the local area. Tan Sangou's brother Tan Ergou was injured in a village attack by an indigenous village. He still turned around when walking.

These evil natives were either eliminated or retreated to the deep mountains and forests of Taitung after the Tang army stationed in the local area. Only then did Tan Sangou and his family finally live a stable and peaceful life.

However, Tan Sangou, who had witnessed the barbarity and viciousness of the natives and the mighty and fierce appearance of the Tang army's attack, had already made up his mind to make himself the Tang army, and to make a name for himself in the army, so as to achieve his life goals and win glory for his family.

When the Tang army recruited soldiers the previous time, Tan Sangou was sick at home because he was in a heatstroke and was unable to sign up, so he missed the recruitment activity, was unable to become the Tang army, nor could he participate in the battle to attack Luzon.

This missed Tan Sangou kept sighing.

However, he also remembered the words of the conscription officer, that is, the Tang army will expand in the future and he still has a lot of opportunities. Tan Sangou always remembers this sentence in his heart.

Sure enough, after the attack on Majingdanu was frustrated, many troops from the Tang army were transferred north to Heiyi Island, and became soldiers in Andong Town. The vacant posts began to recruit new recruits again.

This time, when he went to apply for the election, Tan Sangou, who was agile and quick-responsive, successfully reported to him and became a new recruit of the Tang army.

After a month of training for recruits, Tan Sangou was recruited as a crossbowman in the B General of the C camp.

Tan Sangou, wearing two-piece breastplate and gray iron helmet, heard the general manager calling his name, quickly responded quickly, and quickly walked out of the array and came to the shooting position with gray lines.

After taking over the magic crossbow from the previous crossbowman who had shot, he began to operate from beginning to end according to regulations.

First, he put down the Shenji crossbow, picked up the crossbow quiver from the ground, tied it carefully around his waist, and tied it tightly to ensure that it did not fall behind. Then he opened the bag and pulled out a cooked iron crossbow arrow from it.

The last time I used the test prototype for Li Xiao was steel arrows made of steel, but Li Xiao later considered that these crossbow arrows were fast consumables, and it was too extravagant and wasteful to make crossbow arrows with fine steel. Therefore, it was stipulated that all the crossbow arrows used in this Shenji crossbow were made of medium-quality cooked iron.

In this way, the production cost of crossbow arrows is greatly reduced, but the hardness is almost the same as that of steel arrows. Moreover, since these magic crossbows are mainly used to deal with the Majingdanu native army soldiers who have almost no armor, such iron crossbow arrows, although their armor-transparent ability cannot be compared with steel arrows, they are completely sufficient.

At this time, Tan Sangou looked carefully at the crossbow arrow.

I saw that the crossbow arrow was about half an arm long, the thickness of a little finger, all made of cooked iron, and the whole was black and shiny. There were deep blood grooves at the triangular arrow, and the color at the arrow was obviously different, and a hint of grass green appeared.

Tan Sangou knew that the color of the arrow is different from that of the arrow body because the arrow is highly poisonous.

It is said that this is the idea proposed by Li Dingguo, the mayor of Pingnan Town, to Duke Tang Li Xiao, to apply poison to the crossbow arrow arrow to ensure that the natives who were caught in the crossbow arrow will undoubtedly die and have no chance of survival.

Those Majingdannu people can poison the raids and brutally shoot the Tang army soldiers. Why can't our Tang army also poison the same? They use the other way to cure the other person and kill these ugly people who resist to the end?

Therefore, Li Dingguo's suggestion was immediately adopted by Li Xiao.

Therefore, these crossbow arrows made from factories were quenched with highly poison in a special poison potion workshop before leaving the factory to greatly increase the attack power of crossbow arrows.

What Tan Sangou didn't expect was that when Li Haoran, who was beside him, saw that he had not pulled the string first, he drew out the crossbow arrow first, he was furious. He rushed over and slapped Tan Sangou's face with a hard palm.

"Bastard! You don't pull the crossbow first, but you draw the arrow first. How do you load it later? Do you still have to throw the crossbow arrow to the ground first?!" Li Haoran looked ferocious and shouted at Tan Sangou's ears.

Tan Sangou lowered his head and said speechless, with a very embarrassed expression.

"Come on again, if you bastard remember the wrong order, I will beat you twenty military sticks!" Li Haoran shouted and ordered again.

Tan Sangou covered his face with five bloody fingerprints, stood up embarrassedly, and started to complete the movement again amid the laughter of all the crossbowmen.

He first picked up the Shenji Crossbow, carefully checked the various parts, and then stepped on the pedal with a script, pulled the crossbow string to the buckle of the hanging knife tightly. He first held the Shenji Crossbow with one hand and pulled out a crossbow arrow from the opened crossbow quiver with the other hand, carefully installed it in the middle slot of the crossbow arm, pressed it tightly with his hands, and the entire loading action was completed.

Then, Tan Sangou held the Shenji Crossbow with one hand and the front protrusion of the crossbow bow with the other hand to ensure that the Shenji Crossbow will not shake when shooting. Then, he lowered his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, aimed the Wangshan Mountain and the steel star in front in a straight line, aiming at the human-shaped butt sixty steps away.

"Prepare, let it go!"

"Swoosh!"

With Li Haoran's angry shout, Tan Sangou pulled the hanging knife, and the crossbow arrow let out a brisk whistle, shooting straight towards the human-shaped butt sixty steps away.

The snatching sound was muffled, and the crossbow arrow shot out exactly shot the human-shaped butt's arm.

Li Haoran frowned and nodded reluctantly, saying, "This shooting is pretty sloppy. Tan Sangou, you must remember the order of shooting, it is inconsistent. When you really get to the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. If you make a mistake and get seized by the enemy, the consequences may be unimaginable. Do you understand?"

Tan Sangou nodded and replied loudly: "Report to the Chief, I understand!"

"Very good, you can shoot twice again, don't make any mistakes."

"I understand below!"

...

Under the scorching sun, all the soldiers sweated heavily and trained repeatedly and focusedly. The time of every day passed quickly and hurriedly.

After a month of practice in the entire army, the crossbow soldiers of the B General of the B camp were the first to complete the training, and everyone equipped with a magic crossbow and thirty venomous iron crossbow arrows.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao, who had been stationed in Sanbaoyan, was no longer anxious. He suggested to Li Xiao that under the conditions of training for this general crossbow soldier, he became lazy in order to defend against the army for a long time and his morale was low. Therefore, Li Xiao asked him to order the general army of the B camp B to Sanbaoyan first and attack the Majingdanu country.

Li Xiao thought for a long time and finally agreed to Cao Bianjiao's request.

After raising troops for a thousand days, they will use troops for a while. Since this general crossbow soldiers have been trained successfully, they should go to the battlefield to fight bloodied and make achievements.

May 12, 13th year of Chongzhen.

The navy's ships specially carried the general soldiers and horses, and brought a lot of food and supplies. They set off from Kaohsiung Port and headed south, heading straight to Sanbaoyan, where Cao Bianjiao's troops were located.

At this moment, looking at the vast sea that was surging and boundless, and watching the crowds of seagulls shouting and dancing in the sky, the crossbowman Tan Sangou was very excited.

He subconsciously stroked the magic crossbow that looked like a close lover, and rubbed it repeatedly. His heart was full of longing for the future and his infinite desire to achieve success.
Chapter completed!
