Chapter 279 Formation of the Spear Battalion
Shimen Mountain, Shenwu Army Camp.
In the central army's tent, Li Chen was looking through the list of the Shenwu Army. This list is the list of all the crossbowmen in the Shenwu Army. Li Chen has begun to form a gun barracks, and the gun barracks will be fully equipped with "Xianyang Made".
Xianyang is a breech bolt-moving rifle, which uses breech bolt-loading and bottom-fire firing. Although this type of gun can only use five-round leak-cutting, and after each firing, it must pull the bolt to exit the shell, and the firing speed is not fast.
Due to the rifling problem, this gun has difficulties loading children, poor reliability in pumping shells, easy to explode the chamber, etc. With the current technology of Daqin, it is impossible to produce smokeless gunpowder. Even if the black gunpowder is purified, it still has residue left after burning. When the gunpowder is stimulated, smoke will be produced, which is not conducive to soldiers' concealment.
But even with these problems, Xianyang is far more powerful and fired at a high rate of Qin crossbow. The breech bolt-moving rifle is a product of several eras that exceeds the Qin crossbow. Once this thing is equipped with a large number of troops, it will be a product of the enemy of Qin.
Although Qin crossbows and rifles are different, they also have similarities. The grasp of direction, control of distance, and even wind direction will affect the shooting deviation. Li Chen wants to find the kind of shooting shooter on the list, and this kind of life has a keen feeling of direction, distance, wind direction, etc. The Qin army's crossbows are very powerful, and crossbow soldiers also occupy a high proportion of the Qin army. Naturally, there are many people with shooting skills.
Wang Li stood beside Li Chen. Since Wang Jian got sick last time, Wang Li rarely came to the army. It seemed that he knew that his grandfather Wang Jian had fewer and fewer days. Wang Li took most of the time to accompany the old man these days, and even rarely went to the brothels that he liked to go to the most.
The military significance of the Gun Barracks to the Qin Dynasty is self-evident. The Gun Barracks naturally need someone to take charge of them. Most of the people in the army are surrendered by the Peixian Group, and only Wang Li can trust Li Chen 100%. Because of this, Wang Li was pulled over by Li Chen.
Wang Li stood beside Li Chen and heard that he was in charge of the new soldiers in the Qin Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Wang Li had tried the power made in Xianyang. When he thought that he was about to lead a battalion of soldiers equipped with such magical tools, Wang Li was so excited that he couldn't get hard.
"Select eight hundred people first, and choose from this list yourself." Li Chen looked at this guy's incredible appearance and threw the book in his arms.
Wang Li took the roster, was stunned for a while and said, "It's better to let them compete, and they will compete in archery. The top 800 people were selected."
"Capital School" Li Chen said indifferently.
As the commander of the first army, Li Chen only needs to decide on the general direction, and Wang Li himself can decide on how to select soldiers.
The next day, at lunch, the soldiers in the Shenwu Army were eating and discussing something.
"Have you heard that there will be a competition between the crossbow soldiers this afternoon. The top 800 will be formed into the Marquis's personal guard camp, led by General Wang Li himself."
"Listen, the military salary of this selected vacancies has doubled."
"What kind of gun barracks are you going to form?"
"Spirit soldiers, how can we choose from crossbow soldiers? It should be chosen from our spear soldiers."
"It's not the kind of gun we used."
"What kind of gun is that? Could it be the one in the crotch?"
"Vulgarity. According to this kind of gun and crossbow, you can shoot things out with chirping."
"The crossbow soldiers are really lucky. The top 100 are free to get the money."
......
......
The soldiers gathered together, obviously very jealous of the selection of crossbow soldiers. The good things of being a marquis' personal soldiers and the good things of taking money for free were caught by them. You should know that these soldiers were all with their families. Most of the soldiers who paid military salaries on weekdays had to ask people to take them home, and they were not willing to spend money on weekdays. If they could get an extra month of military salaries for free, then when they were Xiu Mu, they could go to a special place in the city and drink a bowl of Tremella papaya grape porridge.
In the afternoon, Li Chen brought the generals in the army to the schoolyard of the Shenwu Army, which is where the gun barracks were selected today.
The schoolyard is located in the middle of the Shenwu Military Camp. Each battalion is stationed around the schoolyard. At first glance, white tents surround the schoolyard, which looks very beautiful. A circle of fences separate the schoolyard and the campsite. Li Chen glanced at the schoolyard, and the competition had begun in the schoolyard.
The competition is divided into three levels. The first level requires a distance of 500 steps. If you hit the bull's eye, you can advance to the second level.
Compared to the fixed target of the first level, it is much more difficult to reach the second level. Each person has five arrows. The rabbit will be released at a distance of 300 steps. At least three arrows are required to hit the rabbit before they can advance to the next level.
It is not easy to shoot a rabbit. You must know that it is smart and flexible and fast. When you let go of three hundred steps, you may be stunned and the rabbit will run away. Moreover, shooting a living creature is much more difficult than shooting a fixed target.
"This first level depends on the basic skills of crossbowmen's shooting, and this second level depends on the speed of reaction and on-the-spot performance. Isn't this three levels? Why don't you see this third level?" Li Chen hesitated and asked everyone.
When he heard Li Chen’s question, Fan Kuai said: “Wang Li has many intestines. There are three levels, and there must be three levels. I wonder what the barrier is to sell?”
Everyone knows Wang Li, this son, is a typical player who has a greater vocation than hard work. If he spends his time in the middle of the night to study military strategy, his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to his father Wang Ben and his grandfather Wang Jian. Unfortunately, this son is a person who loves military uniforms and piles.
It was afternoon, and the sunshine after the New Year was much more enthusiastic than the sunshine before the New Year. The sun hanging on the edge gave people a warm feeling.
The first level of shooting fixed targets can be the basic skill of Qin army's crossbow soldiers. Except for some soldiers who performed poorly, most of them entered the neighboring second level. However, there were more people eliminated in this second level. Seven or eight thousand crossbow soldiers entering the second level, and only more than two thousand were eliminated in the end.
At this time, there were only two thousand people in Xiaochang Mountain. Although these people were not strong in the Qin army, their eyes were all exposed, just like the eyes of eagles.
Wang Li stood on the school ground and rarely put away his dandy expression. He put his hand behind his back and said with a serious expression: "We are going to select the Marquis' personal soldiers, and we will equip you with the most advanced weapons in the future. You must use your life to protect the Marquis' safety. We only have elite soldiers, only eight hundred people. But now there are two thousand people left, and only those who are capable will go up and down. They will cheer me up and use your strength to sleep with girls and eat girls, so that I can see who can be selected."
