(Grandma's, the Internet is actually disconnected at home, and I can't even update it, so I have to run to the Internet café and send it!) Depressed! It's late today, everyone's forgiving me! ）

And enriching the strength is not just a matter of recruiting troops, equipment, grain, and armor must be solved, and to solve these things, it is impossible to do it slowly on his own, he must take down Lijiazhuang and get it from him, but now is the best time, and if he misses the village, there will be no such store.

The border armies of Shaanxi are still paying attention to Gao Yingxiang's gang now, and they can't take care of his Xingtian Army for the time being, and the officers and soldiers who can fight have no time to take care of it, and Lijiazhuang has suffered this new defeat, and its strength is in a weak state.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian is now making intensive arrangements for this, releasing news everywhere to collect the displaced people, and at the same time blackmailing the surrounding large households to provide him with food and straw to support him to complete this plan.

As a traverser, Xiao Tianjian is very clear about the key to the success of something like the uprising, and at the same time, he has also seen a lot of things about Li Zicheng, and he knows very well in his heart the reason why Li Zicheng fell short in the end, and knows that as a force to rebel, the base area is very crucial.

It's not that he doesn't want to establish a base that he can control, but because he has been analyzing this matter during this time, although there are many people in Shaanxi at present, but after years of military disasters, the foundation is very poor, and this is also the area that the imperial court is most concerned about, and there are too many cattle in the official army, if you want to establish a base that belongs to him in this area, it is basically impossible to achieve, as long as he is a little full-fledged, he will immediately attract a large number of officials and troops to attack him, and there will be only one dead word at that time, There is no other possibility.

Although the Ming Dynasty is already full of holes in this era, Xiao Tianjian knows that the Ming Dynasty is far from running out of vitality at present, and the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and its strength is at least far from being able to shake him with the strength of the righteous army, so at the moment, he can only develop his own strength first and consider the question of where to go in the future.

So anyway, at present, the pattern of Tianlongzhai and Huangyang is too small, and it is not suitable for him to be used as a base at all, so he will not waste his energy in this place, if he can make a handful as much as possible, he will quickly take a handful, and build a team that belongs to him, even if he leaves here in the future, he can have the power of self-preservation.

After this battle, three hundred recruits were immediately incorporated into the battle team by Xiao Tianjian's department, after such a baptism of blood, these people can adapt to the bloodiness of the battlefield, and they don't have to worry too much about their collapse in the future.

Although the training time of the recruits is still short, and many subjects have not yet been in place, but at the moment, Xiao Tianjian has no more time to train them slowly, and only let them grow in battle, not to mention that the power of his spear phalanx has been tested many times, as long as he does not encounter a strong enemy, it is really not easy to defeat his spear formation.

What's more, now in addition to pikemen, he has also selected a group of knife players who dare to fight in close combat, plus his javelin tactics, the melee ability is no longer a concern, and he has also preliminarily obtained some firecrackers and bird guns, formed a musketeer platoon, and initially obtained a certain amount of long-range firepower, and then there are five artillery, such equipment quality, looking at these poles around him, his Xingtian Army is already very luxurious.

In terms of armor, he can't completely solve it for his subordinates at the moment, although some have been captured after several battles during this time, and some of them have been made of raw cowhide, and a batch of armor has been obtained, but these armors are basically still mainly cotton armor and leather armor, and some cotton armor is decorated with some iron sheets, even if it is iron armor, the shape is not the same and it is very mixed, and the number is only less than 100 sets, which is only enough for the officers and elites under the class.

Therefore, when distributing these armors, he also used his brains quite a bit, and finally based on the merits of these two battles, the armor was also used as a kind of reward, and it was distributed to those who dared to fight, these people were the bones of his Xingtian Army, and they deserved the best protection.

After he was so distributed, the big guys didn't have anything to say, where were the war exploits, the veterans killed a lot of enemies, and they dared to use their lives, and those who didn't have military merits naturally didn't have to think about it.

Life is a thing, it depends on yourself, the more afraid you are of death, the faster you will die, everyone in the veteran says so, if you want to live, you must dare to work hard, you can naturally get armor with combat merits, and when you go into battle, there is an extra layer of security, this truth has been repeatedly instilled by Xiao Tianjian, and has been recognized by the generals under his command.

Because of the increase in the number of artillery, now Xiao Tianjian can finally form his own artillery team, for which he specially transferred a group of recruits, handed over to Huang Shengqiang to lead, each artillery is equipped with ten people, responsible for carrying various artillery materials, although the total number is a bit much, but Xiao Tianjian is not afraid of wasting manpower now, in addition to these people can learn artillery operation technology as a technical soldier to obtain artillery in the future, each person is also equipped with a waist knife, if necessary, they can protect themselves, You don't have to send a knife player to protect them, you can kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that Xiao Tianjian is very dissatisfied with the operation and transportation method of these artillery, and the Tiger Squat Cannon is just that, it is a light close-fire artillery, similar to a mortar, but he is not satisfied with the transportation and operation method of the two Furlong machines.

Although the medium-sized Furlong machine equipped by the Ming army is sharp, but the gun carriage is very problematic, the march is loaded with a large car, and when it is used, it has to be lifted down and placed on the wooden quadrangular frame gun mount, and it is also cumbersome to adjust the shooting height and aim, and the operation is very troublesome, and the conversion of the marching operation is also very complicated, and it takes a long time to complete the conversion of the marching operation, and when the battle is about to take place, it is very likely to delay the fighter plane, and things like this are unacceptable to Xiao Tianjian.

After carefully observing the two Furlong machine guns, Xiao Tianjian found that the Furlong machine gun used by the Ming Army is still reassuring in terms of casting quality, after all, this thing is no more than ordinary firecrackers and bird guns, and belongs to the country's heavy weapons.

So he immediately summoned Master Jin, dispatched a few carpenters, and then drew a sketch with his own hands, handed it over to these carpenters, and asked them to use the wheels and axles of the cart to transform two new sets of gun carriages with wheels within three days.

This kind of thing is not a difficult thing for Xiao Tianjian, a traverser, after hearing and witnessing, he is still very familiar with the artillery carriage, and designing a gun carriage is a piece of cake for him.

After a few carpenters looked at Xiao Tianjian's drawing paper, they began to work without saying a word, this time they seized a lot of carts, and after randomly finding two sturdy carts and dismantling them, they started working overnight using the solid wood at hand.

Xiao Tianjian originally asked for three days, but the carpenters completed it in two days, and then under the personal command of Xiao Tianjian, Huang Shengqiang and his men and these carpenters lifted the two Furlong machine guns on the new gun carriage, and the gun ears were just fixed on the supporting gun carriage, which was fixed with iron bolts, and a new type of marching gun was completed.

This kind of Xiao Tianjian's modified gun carriage is divided into two parts, the front half is the gun carriage for reloading artillery, and the second half is the ammunition truck loaded with sub-gun ammunition.

When marching, the artillery cart is hung on the ammunition truck in front, and the ammunition cart can be easily dragged with two mules, and when the battle is about to take off, as long as the hook hanging on the gunpowder cart is removed, the artillery can be converted into a combat state as soon as it turns around, and it can be immediately converted into a combat state by relying on the gunner, and after the mule is pulled away, the ammunition truck will immediately follow, and the combat preparations can be completed quickly.

"My mother! It's amazing that we're in charge of the plates! This Furlong machine has been changed so much, it is really easy to use! That's a lot of convenience! If this is pulled out to fight, if anyone goes against us, if they don't wait for them to fiddle with the cannon, we will already open fire on our side! Terrible! Terrible! It's amazing!

Get out of the way and stand aside! Let Lao Tzu see, obediently! It's also much more convenient! Knock these two wooden wedges down, and you don't have to worry about the gun carriage being overturned! It's also much easier to aim!

Don't be stunned, hurry up and see how to get this thing, in two days we will go to fight that Li Lao Wang Ba, if anyone embarrasses Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu does not dismantle your bones! Ha ha! Good stuff! ”

Huang Shengqiang was spinning around the two new Furlong machine gun trucks like a top, looking at this and touching that, and taking a group of newly assigned recruits to him to familiarize themselves with the operation of these two Furlong machine guns, looking at these two gun trucks, Huang Shengqiang's saliva flowed to his chin, and it was needless to say that he faced Xiao Tianjian in his heart, and he could only describe it with admiration.

It turns out that they can not only fight in charge, but can even do things to transform artillery vehicles, so what else does he not understand! Following this palm plate, it is to bring energy, Huang Shengqiang was a little carried away with excitement at this time, and shouted at the recruits under him, and he began to get familiar with it when he was busy.

Xiao Tianjian hugged his arms, looking at Huang Shengqiang's excitement like beating chicken blood, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, and he said in his heart, what is this! There are more things that Lao Tzu will have! This is just a small test, if you have the strength in the future, the good things that Lao Tzu can come up with will make you guys even more eye-opening!

"Huang Shengqiang!" Xiao Tianjian shouted at Huang Shengqiang, who was already a little carried away with the excitement at this moment.

"Here!" When Huang Shengqiang heard Xiao Tianjian call him, he jumped up reflexively, and made a standard upright movement, with his hands hanging straight on both sides of his legs, but he was quite a bit of a soldier's demeanor, and he couldn't see that this kid was just a tomb robber before, and after strict training, he had begun to leave traces of a soldier on his body.

"I'll give you these two cannons, give you two days to get familiar with the operation, and in two days I'll see that you and your artillery team can use this kind of Furlong cannon proficiently, and don't forget the three tiger squat cannons, you must be able to use them with your subordinates as soon as possible!" Did you hear me clearly? Xiao Tianjian commanded him with his hands behind his back.

"Yes! Palm the plate! Please rest assured! Even if the little ones don't eat, drink, or sleep, they have to let these bastards learn to fiddle with this thing! Huang Shengqiang replied excitedly, but as soon as the words fell, his face fell again.

"Two days? It's only been two days! He only remembered at this moment that Xiao Tianjian had only given him two days.

"Hmmm! That's two days! We don't have time to wait, let Li Lao Wang Ba prepare, there will be trouble then! Take advantage of his weakness at this moment, and ask for his life! I don't have time for you to delay! Can it be done? Xiao Tianjian's expression became serious, and he asked Huang Shengqiang again.

"Yes! The little one must do his best! Huang Shengqiang didn't follow Xiao Tianjian for a long time, but he also understood Xiao Tianjian's temper and knew that as long as he made up his mind, he would not be allowed to change it, so he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
