Wang Hun didn't know why, so he did as he said, and then a thick barrel was on his shoulder, and the muzzle of the gun poked out about a foot, and Dong Ce held the handle of the gun behind him and said, "See, that's it." This gun is too strong, so it can only be fired like this, and one person can't do it. ”

Wang Hun shuddered and shouted: "Boss, this errand is not easy to do, as soon as the gun comes down, the barrel of the gun will be red, and the skin and flesh must not be scalded?" ”

"Don't worry, it's okay with a shot or two." Dong Ce smiled, took the gun down, pointed to the inside of the box and said, "You can also use this thing." ”

There was also a big iron guy in the box, dark and dreary, and it hadn't rusted yet, and Shi Jin took it out and stretched it out, but it was something like a tripod, more than half a person tall. Dong Ce put the gun on the tripod and gestured.

Shi Jin shook his head and said: "This thing is made of pig iron, and it has to weigh about thirty catties, I'm afraid it is not easy to carry." ”

Dong Ce nodded and said approvingly: "You can see clearly, this is why the gun should be put on the shoulder." ”

"Wang Hun, take it for me." Dong Ce threw the gun over, and Wang Hun hurriedly caught it and hugged it in his arms, treating it as a treasure.

There was still a compartment in the box, but there were a lot of things in it. There were seven fire ropes, two gunpowder canisters the size of a ×-year-old man's fist, and a rather large bag.

"You first clean up this place, take out all the useful things out to dry, and clear out all the rags in it and use them as firewood. Once cleaned, rinse with water. Shi Jin, you are staring at this. After Dong Ce finished instructing, he said to Wang Hun: "Come, carry this gun to my room." ”

For the rest of the day, Dong Ce spent time in his room, thinking about it, and he came out from time to time to say a few words, instructing Shi Jin and others to get some things.

And the remaining few people, led by Shi Jin, were doing it in the pier. First, the warehouse was cleaned, then thoroughly washed with water, and the door was opened to dry. Then, in accordance with Dong Ce's instructions, he prepared a lot of things, and even went out to drag a lot of rough wood with stripped bark and bare bark back.

In the evening of the same day, when the dun soldiers came back after working in the fields outside for a day, they were all surprised to see these things, and they did not know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the newly appointed elder Jia.

On the second day, the dun soldiers went to work in the field as usual, while Dong Ce and others had a busy day.

In the evening, when the dun soldiers came back, they found that a vacant land had been cleared not far from the Anxiang dun, which was about 100 meters in circumference, and it was very smooth. When I entered the gate, I found that the door of the storeroom was open and something was placed inside.

On the eighth day of the sixth month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, as soon as the sky was bright, Dong Ce called everyone up, went out of Anxiangdun, and gathered in the open space next to him.

It was a cloudy day, gray and gloomy, and there was no sign of the sun coming out.

After the Dun army and their families arrived, they were surprised to find that a sign had been erected on the edge of the open space, on which three big characters were engraved with a knife - 'martial arts field'. The words are not very good-looking, but they are like knives and axes, full of strength, and the cliffs are high.

On the other side of the clearing, a dozen or so targets were erected, which were very rudimentary, but the Dun soldiers could recognize them - these were the targets that were replaced by fakes.

Wang Hun walked over and placed a bunch of things next to everyone, and it was just some bows and arrows.

Dong Ce stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back, glanced at everyone, and said, "Calling everyone here today is to announce something." ”

He paused and continued: "From today onwards, we will have to train and practice martial arts, and we will do it every day. ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, although they were soldiers, but how could they have had any strict training before? The various systems in the army of the Ming Dynasty have long been abolished, and the soldiers are more like tenants of officers, and it is good to train once a month. And this newly appointed Elder A actually said that he had to practice every day?

What's to be done? He's crazy!

But this kind of thing, after all, only dare to say it in my heart.

For their thoughts, Dong Ce can see them clearly at a glance.

"Shut up!" Dong Ce let out a low shout, and everyone's voices suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the needle drop could be heard.

"I don't care what you did before, but now, you are the soldiers under my hands, so you have to obey my rules!" Dong Ce's eyes crossed everyone's faces, as sharp as a knife: "We are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, even if we don't serve the country, we have to think about how to protect our families!" ”

"In the past, it was the Mongol Tatars of Chahar, and later the Eastern slave Tatars of the Later Jin Kingdom, and these Tatars repeatedly entered the prison, how many people were killed, how many women were taken captive, and how many children became their slaves! You yourselves, how many? ”

Dong Ce took a breath: "The list goes on! Zhenqiang Fort is at the most border of Datong Town, Shili Pu is at the most border of Zhenqiang Fort, and our Anxiang Dun is the most border of Shili Pu! Once the Tartars are in the Strait, we will bear the brunt! Tell me, what have you been able to do since the Tartars? Are you just waiting to die? ”

Dong Ce finally saw a trace of emotion in people's eyes, which made him very pleased. The reason why the people and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were insensitive was not because they wanted this, but because they lived a hard life, the incompetent court, the corrupt officials like wolves and tigers, and forced them like this tomorrow when they couldn't see hope.

He didn't say anything more, pointed to Huo Rang at night, and said, "You come and shoot an arrow." ”

Huo Rang hesitated for a moment, picked up the bow and arrow, gestured, and smiled bitterly at Dong Ce: "My lord, can you get closer?" ”

Where they were, about sixty meters or so from the target. To tell the truth, this distance is not far, sixty meters, that is, forty steps, at this distance, the Houjin soldiers use strong bows and willow leaf heavy arrows, which can basically do ten out of ten× eight × nine, and the willow leaf heavy arrows are enough to nail into the two-inch thick plank, which is extremely powerful.

But for these untrained Ming troops, it was really difficult.

"Right here, hurry up!" Dong Ce said with a straight face.

Huo Rang had no choice but to stretch his bow and arrow, and after aiming for a while, he let go of his hand.

His strength was not bad, and the bow could be drawn, but the accuracy was too bad, and he only heard a whooshing sound, and the arrow did not know where it had gone. Several targets were empty.

Dong Ce sighed, if you don't collect in a pier at night, you can be considered elite, at this level?

He doesn't know how many times he sighed in the past few days, everything has to be done from scratch, and there is a long way to go.

"Go, pick it up yourself!" Dong Ce said expressionlessly.

Huo Rang picked up the arrow a meter away from the target he was aiming at, and came back in a gray way.

Next, Dong Ce asked these dun soldiers to shoot arrows one by one, and as he expected, none of them hit the target. Huo Rang is okay, but others are even more outrageous.

"Don't be there and laugh, you guys come and shoot an arrow!" Dong Ce glared at Wang Hun and the others who were snickering.

After all, they can be regarded as elite in the army, and compared with these dun armies, Shi Jin and the others are much stronger.

Even Wang Hun, who seems to be the most unreliable, is also hit, except for Wang Tong, none of the five people failed.

What surprised Dong Ce was Zhou Zhong, a young man who jumped off and had the temperament of a ranger, and hit the bull's-eye with one arrow. Dong Ce thought he was lucky, and let him shoot three arrows in a row, but they all hit the bull's-eye.

This archery is really good.

After everyone finished shooting, it was Dong Ce's turn, fortunately, he had seen the archery club in his previous life, and this body was also skilled in archery.

It's just that he has a lot of strength, but the power of this arrow is smaller, and he is fluttering in his hand, and he doesn't feel anything.

Dong Ce showed his hand, the original Dun army of Anxiang Dun was suppressed, and the group of newcomers to Elder A did not oppress people with power, but they were really upright and had the ability under their hands.

"From now on, each person has a bow, six arrows, and starts practicing by themselves!" Dong Ce instructed: "I don't care what you are doing now, after ten days, I want to accept, I must hit within three inches of the bull's-eye, if I can't do it!" Just wait to be cleaned up! ”

He smiled coldly, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth that were rare in this era: "You have seen my methods!" ”

Everyone shivered excitedly, this adult's methods, one look at it can make people unforgettable.

Originally, there were some opportunistic tricks in my heart, but now I have dismissed my mind.

Of course, they were reluctant, but they had no choice, let alone dared to have the slightest doubt and opposition to Dong Ce.

Then Dong Ce announced the disbandment, went back to have a meal, the men came here to gather, and the women went to work in the fields.

The following morning, the soldiers of Anxiangdun spent their time in hard training.

Except for Wang Yu who was injured and lying on the bed, there were a total of four Dun Army, plus five Shi Jin, and each of them just practiced with a target. The targets were all wooden planks covered with grass on the outside, and the arrows did not hurt much when they were shot, and they could be used again and again when pulled out.

Dong Ce was like a foreman overseer, carrying a horsewhip and walking back and forth behind everyone.

Archery is a hard job, it is said that the English longbowmen in the Middle Ages, after retiring from the general muscle deformity, basically pull the bow ten times, this strength is almost consumed, you have to rest. Dong Ce didn't urge them to rest, but he weighed the time in his heart, if anyone took the opportunity to be lazy if he rested too long, the horsewhip in Dong Ce's hand would be down with his head and face.

The training under the leather whip was really fruitful, and after a morning, although the commanders of the dun army did not think much about it, they already looked good. As for Wang Hun and the others, they have also made progress.

Two hours later, Dong Ce announced his dissolution and returned to his own home.

As if they had been pardoned, they went down one after another to rest.
