"Brother Wentai, why don't you do this... If this thing is powerful, it must be powerful, and if it is useful, it must be very useful, but if you want me to say it with my mouth... it is almost meaningless."

"It's not as good as this. In two days, the army under my command will have a confrontation exercise. It is the practice of three teams divided into three forces and conducting actual combat confrontations in a large area."

"At that time, although the weapons will be replaced with props with low lethality, the artillery will not."

"Brother Wentai, if you don't mind, I can tell the generals in the army to place you in one of the soldiers and horses. After you experience the power and function of this thing on the spot, you won't doubt it." gone."

……

As the saying goes, it’s better to see it after hearing it for a long time. The fastest way for Sun Jian to feel the power of artillery is naturally to let him actually go to the battlefield and get hit twice by this thing.

As for the safety issue... Unlike the sword, this siege weapon was restricted to be used only for assault during the exercise, and could not be used to launch directly at the crowd.

Otherwise, I am afraid that even a military general like Lu Bu would have difficulty escaping from being hit by an 18-caliber artillery in the front.

……

……

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Yan took the disguised Sun Jian with him, and brought him to the barracks of Ma Si, the third soldier under his command.

Due to the large gap in the composition of the three soldiers and horses, the first two soldiers and horses were established earlier, and they all have well-established artillery units.Only the third army Masi itself serves as a line-filling force, and there is no artillery establishment inside.

Zhang Yan is very clear that the place where one can feel the power of a weapon most directly is not where the user is, but where the user is.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Zhang Yan placed Sun Jian in this barracks.

In the next week, Sun Jian will experience the uniqueness of these weapons up close as a grassroots soldier.

……

"Then Commander Li, Brother Wentai will leave it to you. You must not tell anyone his true identity, as long as only you few leaders know."

In the barracks, Zhang Yan gave instructions to Li Le, Hu Cai and others who were the leaders, and they should also say yes.

Only Fazheng stood aside and looked at Sun Jian thoughtfully, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhang Yan naturally didn't notice this.

He just brought Sun Jian here, and then left with a smile.

Only Sun Jian was left wearing an unobtrusive military uniform, following behind Li Le, looking like a soldier.

……

Soon, a few more days passed.

Some non-confrontational projects in the early stage of the military exercise lasted about three days in total, and during these three days, whether it was the people of Lujiang, or those foreign governors and prefects, they really increased a lot. experience.

There is no need to talk about the training items such as formation and assault. This kind of event itself has a certain performance nature, and with more than 6 people, it can be said that it is a large number of people, so in the From the eyes of those people, the crowd charged at the grassy target in a dense mass, which seemed a bit powerful.

What made them more excited and joyful was actually the appearance of several new weapons during the military exercise.

Gunpowder blasting drills...medium and long-range precision throwing drills...even fixed-point shooting drills for artillery...

It can be said that just like the ancestors who set off firecrackers for the first time thousands of years ago, the Chinese people have always had a lot of goodwill towards this kind of project that can "listen to it".

Even because of the large number of people in the next few days, the vast majority of the people could only stand behind the crowd and could not see the gunpowder explosion at all... But the voice was different.

The sound of gunpowder explosion will not weaken with the increase of the number of people present, and those in the last row can still clearly hear the thunderous rumble coming from a distance.

At the very beginning, the soldiers under Zhang Yan had just carried out the first gunpowder blast, and the violent fire and explosion frightened all the people present.

Some people even began to say that there is a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which is a bad omen and other nonsense.

But soon, when people realized that this violent explosion was man-made like firecrackers and could be controlled, the original mourning and fear were instantly replaced by cheers.

In the last few days, even if they didn't see what happened in the practice field, the people present would subconsciously cheer after hearing the thunderous sound.

Not to mention those who get up early and are in the front row.

They really watched the flames shoot up into the sky, and watched the clay pots thrown by the soldiers turn into thunder in an instant, blasting the scarecrow targets to pieces.

As for the artillery... the impact of this thing on the people is not as good as the gunpowder and thunder with violent flames.

When the artillery was fired, most of the common people could only see a flash of red light at the muzzle, and then the whole artillery seemed to explode inside, and a large amount of black smoke rose from the muzzle.

As for the shells that were blasted... not to mention the common people, even the soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, I am afraid that few people can see clearly.

They could only see the smoke and dust rising from the ground in the distance just a moment after the cannon fired.

……

"Everyone has it!"

"set off!"

In this way, three days later, the intense confrontational exercise finally started.

In this exercise, Lu Su divided the three armies into three groups, and built three small earthen cities as strongholds on a plain outside the Lujiang River, each with two or two horns.

The content of this exercise is that these three teams will attack each other with wooden weapons. In the end, Lu Su will act as the referee and score them based on the number of strongholds occupied by these people and the number of troops defeated.

After ranking according to the scores, Zhang Yan will also give different rewards to troops with different rankings.

And Sun Jian's team... is the weakest team among all the contestants.

……

Lujiang No. 200 Soldier Masi—200 fully armed infantry, including 300 armed infantry.There are also 500 riders and [-] horses.There are [-] artillerymen, five cannons, and several shells and gunpowder.

This team is led by the veteran Pei Yuanshao, and supported by Zhou Cang and Liao Hua. It can be said that it is a ten to one replica of Lujiang's first soldier Ma Si.

Among the 2000 people in the team, whether it is infantry, cavalry or artillery, the proportions are quite scientific, and the combat effectiveness is also extremely strong.

In Lujiang's existing army sequence, this team can be said to be a popular candidate to win the championship.

……

The Lujiang Second Army Masi—that is, the full-time rebellious soldier Masi who fought against Shanyue, has a fully armed infantry of 500 people, but no infantry.There is also no cavalry composition in the army sequence.On the contrary, the artillery array, like the first soldier Masi, also has an establishment of 500 people, and has five artillery pieces, several shells and gunpowder.

This army was led by Yang Feng, a famous general from Hedong, with Han Xian as his deputy, and Xu Huang, a general with both civil and military skills, as the marching governor.

Although the hard power of this army on paper is far inferior to that of the first soldier Masi, due to the existence of artillery and the gap between generals, in the estimation of many people, this army has not lost hope of winning the championship.

Or to put it another way, there are a lot of guys who want this team to upset and win the championship.

……

As for the Lujiang Third Army Masi, that is, the team that Sun Jian is in...

The entire army of this team consists of two thousand fully armed soldiers, and there are no other arms.

In terms of army command, Li Le, the commander, and Hu Cai, the deputy commander, are from the same division as Yang and Han of the Second Army Masi. one head.

When the four of them were sworn brothers, it could be seen from the fact that Yang Feng was the leader and Han Xian was the second, that there was indeed a small gap in strength between the four of them, even if the gap was not obvious.

As for the marching governor Fazheng... who is that?

Sun Jian didn't know him.

Compared with the reputation of the previous few people in the Lujiang army, Fazheng was like a counselor who fell from the sky, and he hardly left any obvious impression on the soldiers under him.

At the same time, Fazheng's record of zero wins and zero losses made Sun Jian more convinced of this point: this man has never even reported any actual record. If he is said to be a famous general, let alone Sun Jian, even the opponent The soldiers under his hand probably didn't quite believe it.

……

All in all, from the strength of Sun Jian's team, it can be seen that they hardly have any competitiveness in this exercise, and they are completely like delivering food, weak, pitiful and helpless.

Even the group of soldiers below seemed to understand that they were just accompanying runners, so they didn't show any obvious desire for the championship position.

Even out of the malice of some upper-level people, the food that these three teams carry when they enter the arena is fixed...

This also shows in a disguised form that in order to snatch each other's military rations, the third soldier Ma Si is likely to be the "soft persimmon" and the first to be eliminated by the first two.

It's just that everyone didn't completely give up on the status quo.

After observing the Tucheng occupied by the three teams, Fazheng asked Li Le to call everyone together and began to discuss the next arrangement.

……

"Sure enough, after I sent people to investigate just now, these earthen cities seem to be the same size as each other, but in fact, we are the strongest in terms of strength, the second soldier and horse division is slightly behind, and the first soldier and horse Siji City is the worst."

"I just said that it is impossible for Lu Su's military division to make such a decisive confrontation. There must be some other factors that interfere with the winning rate!"

"This is the case of stronghold cities that are not equal to each other!"

……

Pointing to a temporary simple map on the desktop, Fazheng said loudly.

……

PS: This is today's Chapter 1. Thanks to TZN boss for the two fat rewards. I feel that I am still online today. I just added two more chapters, with a total of 4000 words.

It will be updated in a while, but because the new chapter will be reviewed during the National Day, so I am not sure when it will be released, and it will be counted as an addition on the 6th.

PS2: After that, there will be a bounty in October. After I think about it for a while, I will tell you tomorrow.

PS3: 4500 word chapters, ask for tickets

Chapter 45 The Battle of the Three Families

"Everyone, you must know that our team is very limited in terms of arms. The efficiency of siege is not as good as that of the two colleagues with artillery. It's very restrained."

"If one is not handled well, then we will be the first to be out!"

"However, there is no unparalleled road. As far as I know, the participants in our exercise are allocated according to the proportion of the actual soldiers and horses. That is to say, the number of artillery pieces of the two opponents is actually very small. Just Even the quantity of shells and gunpowder should have a very clear limit."

"Otherwise, it would be too difficult for us."

"We are here to participate in the exercise, not just to be sent up to be beaten. Military division Lu Su would never do such a thing."

……

First, he analyzed the situation to the people present, and Fazheng looked at them with his eyes.

While Sun Jian nodded, he quietly tugged on Li Le's armor.

……

"Ahem, General Li, what happened to the artillery that the little general mentioned just now?"

"Why does he mention that kind of thing, as if we are all lost..."
