The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 132 Great Halberd Soldiers

It has been several days since the beginning of autumn, and the weather has turned cold quickly, as if it has changed from summer to autumn overnight.Many trees outside the valley are covered with green and yellow leaves.

On the contrary, because Erlong Valley is sandwiched by two mountains, the temperature change is not so obvious, so it still looks lush and lush, without much feeling of autumn.

In the General's Mansion, above the small school grounds, a figure was moving and jumping, with a long sword in his hand flickering coldly with the movement of the figure.

On the side stood a man in white watching quietly, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning, sometimes nodding.

After a while, the figure practicing the sword stopped the momentum of the sword, let out a breath, and walked towards the man in white on the sidelines.

"How is it? If I practice well, can I still enter your Dharma eyes?"

This person is Jiang Chuan.

"So-so," the man in white said with a smile.

"It seems to be okay. As I said earlier, I have the talent to practice martial arts. Although your Baiyunzong swordsmanship is complicated, I haven't learned it very quickly. What does this mean? It means that my son's bones are amazing, yes A martial arts prodigy that is hard to see in a hundred years in the martial arts world." Jiang Chuan laughed and boasted.

"Hmph, just brag about it. I won't tell you that this set of sword techniques is just an entry-level sword technique for our Baiyun Sect disciples, and every disciple must master it. If you can master it, it just means that your IQ is normal. What's the point? I'm proud." The man in white is Bai Jinxiu, and seeing Jiang Chuan bragging, she deliberately hit him.

"Your eyes have betrayed you, sister, brother likes honest girls." Jiang Chuan suddenly approached Bai Jinxiu, and said with a smirk.

Bai Jinxiu was startled, her face turned red in an instant, she hurriedly took two steps back, and glared at Jiang Chuan, Jiang Chuan, who looked at her shyly, laughed heartily.

"Bah, who cares that you like it." After standing still, Bai Jinxiu remembered Jiang Chuan's words just now, blushed again, and muttered in a low voice.

It has been more than half a month since the Qing army was defeated last time.

This half month didn't seem long, but Jiang Chuan actually did several big things.

The first big thing is to expand the army.

After the news of Jiang's army's defeat of the Qing soldiers spread, many people from all over the country sent representatives to Erlong Valley to ask for shelter under the protection of Jiang's army.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Jiang Chuan has undoubtedly become the guardian god in the hearts of the people in southern Liaoning.It is even heard that under Mr. Jiang's rule, there is no need to pay grain and tax, and the land and houses are also distributed, which makes many people even more envious.

For ordinary people, what could be more attractive than land?Many people work hard all their lives, don't they just want to leave land and real estate that can be passed on to future generations?

Now that the pie is falling from the sky, of course such a good opportunity must be seized.

Therefore, this time, Jiang Chuan didn't bother to recruit more than 3000 people.Almost half of the people in southern Liaoning went to Erlong Valley.

In fact, it is impossible for there to be only tens of thousands of people on such a vast land in southern Liaoning.There are several reasons for this.

First, although the southern Liaoning area has a vast terrain, it has always been sparsely populated, with a total of less than [-] households.

Second, southern Liaoning belongs to the border area, and it has always been a place where Ming and Qing dynasties competed for fighting. Therefore, many people were killed in countless fighting, resulting in a sharp drop in the population of southern Liaoning.

Thirdly, the Manchu Qing had a small population, so they had the habit of capturing people from the Ming Dynasty, so many people were taken to the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, although the southern Liaoning area has a vast plain, there are also many mountains and hills, and there are many poisonous snakes and beasts in it. Many people who went hunting in the mountains were harmed by these wild beasts.It's just that this factor has little impact compared to the above three reasons.

Therefore, under the influence of these factors, the population in southern Liaoning has dropped from more than 9 households at its peak to more than 2 households now.And now almost half of the more than 2 households have been gathered by Jiang Chuan.

The arrival of these people suddenly allowed Jiang Chuan to increase the total population to more than 3000 people, and thus allowed him to recruit more than 1 people in the fortress base.

However, after comprehensive consideration, Jiang Chuan did not use all of the more than 1 population quota to train soldiers, but used half of the population to grow food, make weapons, and collect and process various industrial raw materials.

The remaining more than 6000 talents were used by him to train soldiers, and [-] crossbowmen and [-] halberd soldiers were added.

The halberd soldiers are also heavy infantry among the fortress arms. Their combat effectiveness is stronger than the spearmen, but inferior to the armored swordsmen. They are also the backbone of the two armies when they confront each other.

The standard configuration of the halberd soldiers is full-body iron armor, but they are not armed and protected to the point of teeth like the armored swordsmen. Instead, they are protected by iron armor at key parts, which makes them more flexible when marching than the iron armored swordsmen.

Their standard weapon configuration is a halberd and a waist knife.This kind of halberd is similar to a spear, but it has a horizontal blade on the spear head. When fighting, it not only has the stabbing function of spears and spears, but also has the ability to block and hook enemy weapons. effect.

Moreover, the halberds are longer than the spears, reaching a length of about four meters. This requires the halberd soldiers to be stronger and taller than the spearmen.

The saber at the waist is used for fighting in close combat with the enemy.

Such equipment and physical fitness are destined to play a more powerful role on the battlefield than spearmen.

These euphorbia soldiers Jiang Chuan turned into a euphorbia battalion alone, and the captain was called Meng Ben.

As a result, Jiang Chuan already has nine major arms under his command, with a total of about [-] troops.

This is just the total force trained in the fortress base.

Through the last prisoner offering and beheading ceremony, more than 5000 ordinary people in the valley signed up to join the army under the agitation of the people.In the end, 3000 people were eligible after being screened according to the conditions.

These people were all incorporated into the militia battalion by Jiang Chuan and used as reserves.Three months of recruit training is currently underway.According to Jiang Chuan's vision, after the three-month training period expires, the elites who pass the assessment will be selected to enter the militia standing battalion, responsible for maintaining law and order in the valley, assisting in civil defense, and serving as city guards and patrolling matters.

In the future, a big competition will be held every six months, and those who can pass the big competition can join the regular army, so as to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the regular army will not be lowered.

Others who were brushed off during the recruit assessment were organized into the militia.Farming and farming in leisure time, training once every three days, once the troops are insufficient in wartime, these people can also be quickly added to the army.

As for the more than 3000 civilians who are currently gathered, Jiang Chuan knows that these people have not yet fully returned, so he is not in a hurry to select soldiers from among them.

This is the first big thing.

The second major event was the establishment of Jiang's army's intelligence agency - Black Ice Platform.

　The fourth one arrives.There is one more.Thank you "Guardian of Leaves" brothers for your reward.
