Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 7 Team Reorganization
Laohugou is about [-] miles west of Zhangjia Village, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.There is a long canyon on both sides of Laohugou, and there is a flat land after passing through the canyon.There used to be a group of bandits occupying here, and later that group of bandits was recruited by intruders.Later, in the last years of Chongzhen, the intruders lost to the Tartars, and after repeated defeats, the bandits broke away from the intruders and returned to the old place, but there were only a dozen of them left.Although the number is small, all of them have horses and weapons, and their equipment is better than before.

After listening to Mr. Zhang's introduction, Qiu Tianxing thought in his heart.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to fight head-to-head. It seems that I can only outsmart them. These bandits will definitely come again. Then, I will have a chance."

Qiu Tianxing was very interested in Tiger Valley, the territory of these bandits.That is really an excellent base, not only hidden but also productive.Therefore, just for this good territory, Qiu Tianxing wanted to take down this group of bandits.

After making a decision, Qiu Tianxing began to prepare.First of all, please ask Mr. Zhang to send some people to patrol around the village for more than ten miles.Once there are Tartars or bandits attacking, they will report back immediately.If it is really too late, light the thatched grass mixed with dried cow dung, so as to inform the villagers to take shelter early.

Then, Qiu Tianxing asked Mr. Zhang to count the agricultural tools in the village. He planned to let his team members have at least one guy in their hands, otherwise they would be just delivering food when they went up empty-handed during the battle.

After some preparations, Qiu Tianxing finally got fourteen hoes and twenty shovels to arm his team.Then, Qiu Tianxing looked at the thin coats of his pedestrians, and felt that there was no protection at all. If the opponent shot a rain of arrows, then almost all of them would die.So, after pondering for a long time, he decided to make a shield!
The shields are made of wood from unburned wooden doors.There was a carpenter in Zhangjia Village, and Qiu Tianxing asked him to dismantle these wooden doors, and then saw them into rectangular pieces of wood that were three feet long and one foot five wide.A handle is nailed to the center of the opposite side of the wooden block, and the handle is firmly nailed to ensure that a person can be hung on it without falling off.After nailing the handle, wrap a rag around it to keep sweaty hands from slipping.

The carpentry skills in Zhangjia Village are not built. In less than one morning, 34 wooden shields were ready.Because the time is tight, there is no polishing, and the wooden shield is surrounded by burrs.

Waving the wooden shield in his hand, Qiu Tianxing was very satisfied, now his team finally had a little defensive power.

"Old Zhao! I am so sorry to trouble you! Thank you so much!" Qiu Tianxing said solemnly to the white-haired old man beside him.

The white-haired old man is called Zhao Rong. He is almost 50 years old. He has been a carpenter since his ancestors. He is not a native of Zhangjia Village. stayed.Because of his good craftsmanship, Zhangjia Village can be regarded as prosperous.However, a bandit attack yesterday, his son had a strong temper, and when he stood up to resist, he was killed by the bandits, which made Zhao Rong cry bitterly all night.However, when Mr. Zhang found him and asked him to make a shield for Qiu Tianxing to kill those bandits.As if his whole body was full of strength, he completed Qiu Tianxing's request in less than a morning.

"The strong man is polite, the old man is useless, he can't fight in battle, so he can only ask the strong man to kill a few more thieves when he encounters that group of thieves in the future, so as to avenge my poor son!

Looking at Zhao Rong's piercing eyes, Qiu Tianxing nodded solemnly.He knew that the poor old man had inadvertently found the motivation to live again, and that was to avenge his son!Hatred is sometimes the driving force that supports people to continue to live.

After the equipment was fully prepared, Qiu Tianxing began to reorganize his small team.

The 33 people were evenly divided into three teams by Qiu Tianxing.

A small group chooses the most powerful person among them, and they will be responsible for using their bodies to withstand the wooden shield when they encounter the enemy unexpectedly, and charge away.They hold a shovel in their hands, and after knocking down the enemy, they either slap the enemy to death with the shovel or wield the shovel and cut the enemy to death with a sharp outer mouth.

The second team chooses the fastest runner among the remaining people, and they are all equipped with hoes.In the battle, they are responsible for taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, hooking horses' legs with hoes and hooking people's legs.If you are not defeated, you can turn around and run, leading the enemy to the ambush circle.

As for the final third team, because they were all selected and left, they were all reserve teams, responsible for going into battle when the whole team charged.

After rough preparation of his team, Qiu Tianxing felt very uneasy. He knew that he had no military talent, and the only military training he had received was only the two military trainings he received when he was in high school and college.But that was all a formality, what I learned was to stand in a military posture, walk in a queue, and organize the housekeeping of the dormitory.Any more contact with the military is just watching military movies.Therefore, at this moment, Qiu Tianxing was frightened, and the only thing he could rely on was his firm belief in resisting Tartarism.

Grind your guns in front of the battle, and you will shine if you don't light up.In the afternoon, when there was still time, Qiu Tianxing began to teach the team members to stand in military posture and goose training.Discipline is the guarantee of the army's combat effectiveness, training is the source of the army's combat effectiveness, and faith is the sublimation of the army's combat effectiveness!Qiu Tian can't do military affairs, he only knows that he must pay close attention to discipline, training and belief.

After demonstrating the military posture and walking forward several times, the team members began to train according to different teams.Their crooked poses made the children in Zhangjia Village giggle.Not long after, the old men and women in the village and the children gathered around to watch this funny and strange thing.As for the older girls and the younger daughters-in-law, they secretly hid in the shadows, gathered together, pointed at the team members, and even laughed secretly from time to time.

The players practiced profusely, and Qiu Tianxing also taught profusely.Because many of his players are indiscriminate.

In desperation, Qiu Tianxing could only teach them hand in hand, with great effort.

Slowly, the three teams started to look good. Although it was not quite standard, the momentum was still very shocking.Some children around also imitated, they also walked forward, waving their arms left and right vigorously, as if they were also members of Qiu Tianxing's team at this time.

Time passed gradually, and three days passed in a blink of an eye.Fortunately, during these three days, neither the Tartars nor the bandits came.Qiu Tianxing practiced the soldiers steadily for three days!
