The weapons of this period mainly relied on two things to kill the enemy.

One is a sharp blade that stabs the enemy with its tip.

The second is to win by weight, relying on gravity to hit the enemy on a high-speed charging horse, or to injure the enemy during impact combat.

For example, the meteor hammer that Tan Pingzhi likes to use is such a weapon.

When he first started living in Jingkou, Wang Mi once picked up Lao Tan's meteor hammer with his own hands. Before he even lifted it up, he realized that this magical object was definitely not within his ability.

Lao Tan can dance like a tiger with a hammer in one hand, but Lao Wang has trouble holding one with both hands.

It fully shows that he is still far away from being a martial arts master.

It can be seen that in ancient times, not only during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but also later until the Song Dynasty, cold weapons used heavy weight as an advantage.

It can exercise the arm strength of generals, and being able to manipulate heavy weapons easily is also a sign of a mature and brave general.

In the current Beifu camp, Liu Yu, Tan Pingzhi, and Liu Laozhi are all such generals. Compared with them, Wei Yongzhi is slightly weaker.

In Liu Yu's opinion, these new weapons that Liu Yu had developed were as light as toys.

Although Liu Yu had already seen the power of this new weapon on the Nanyang battlefield, he naturally had no doubts.

However, when he arrived at the training ground, he discovered that it was not easy for all the soldiers under his command to be convinced of these artifacts and learn to operate them seriously.

No wonder Wang Mi asked from the beginning to choose soldiers who are flexible and shrewd. That's it.

Several young generals, including Tan Pingzhi, Wei Yongzhi, and even He Wuji, all lined up.

Seriously explain how to use pistols and artillery in front of the soldiers.

Previously on the Nanyang battlefield, some soldiers had actually used pistols, but these were only a handful.

Scattered into the main camp of Beifu soldiers, it would be like a mud cow drowning in the sea, and it would not have much effect.

Not to mention, in the battle of Nanyang, the pistol team led by Wang Mi personally lost dozens of people, making it even weaker.

Although the brothers explained it very attentively, when it came to the specific operations, the soldiers' movements were still full of ugly things.

Fortunately for Liu Yu, seeing this situation, he could barely suppress his anger and was still calm, although his face was completely dark.

Lao Tan is gone.

He has a quick temper, no one provokes him, and he often gets angry for no reason.

Seeing that the soldiers were so helpless and even stupider than him, Old Tan, naturally he would not give up and started whipping them wildly with the whip.

The little soldiers who were whipped were howling and screaming. Seeing that the fire was almost done, He Wuji stood up and stopped it.

Although it is wrong to hit people, several generals also know it in their hearts, but sometimes, if they want to follow the rules in the army, these are some unavoidable methods.

Sure enough, after this beating, the soldiers' IQs skyrocketed, their movements became much more standard, and their hit rate was also higher.

This is the only way to be presentable.

Several young generals are busy teaching. What are their masters Wang Mi and Wang Shilang doing at the moment?

After the soldiers organized their troops, they also looked around, expecting to see the prestigious Wang Shilang.

I heard that this minister from the imperial court, although he is young, is still a standard young man from an aristocratic family, but he is capable of both literary and military skills. He is not a fool at all when he goes into battle to kill the enemy.

Some of these soldiers had recently defected to Beifu. They were interested in the continuous victories of Beifu's army, which made them feel that they could hope to gain military honors.

These young people have never met Wang Shilang.

I was planning to take this opportunity to appreciate the elegant demeanor of Wang Shilang, but I didn't expect that I didn't see Wang Shilang's handsome figure after waiting for a long time.

Instead, he was whipped several times because of lack of concentration and irregular movements. It was very pitiful.

And at this time, where is the Minister Wang who is highly anticipated by the public?

Of course, he is also busy with serious things.

Pu Jiangzuo was a man of his word and reliable in his work. Ever since he received the small sum of money from Wang Hui, he had urged the craftsmen to work day and night to make weapons.

When it is done, it will be shipped out. When it is done, it will be shipped out, and there will be no delay at all.

Wang Mi had just arrived in Jingkou for one day when weapons were sent to him one after another from Puchao.

Although it is still far from Wang Mi's requirements, it is better than nothing, and Lao Wang is already very satisfied.

Early in the morning, he came to the fence gate outside the military camp to greet them. Seeing most of the ox carts or scattered horse-drawn carriages gradually approaching the military camp, Wang Mi's excited mouth almost became happy.

"OK!"

"Very good!"

"The general craftsman does his work neatly!"

Wang Mi walked to the car and opened the boxes one by one to inspect, not only to see the quality of these weapons that were rushed to production, but also to see the type of weapons.

According to the current deployment of troops in Beifu, the demand for pistols is still higher.

Compared with purely consumable artillery, which only needs to be used once, pistols still have a recycling function.

If you can make more pistols, make more pistols. Artillery is only an auxiliary function so far.

I just regret that I made a mistake by not explaining this matter clearly to Pu Chao before leaving.

However, when he opened the third box, Wang Mi smiled.

Pistol, pistol, pistol!

I opened three boxes in a row, all of which were full of pistols. Unexpectedly, Lao Pu actually had a close connection with him.

"How many cannons are there?"

Looking from a distance, there are twenty large boxes of weapons shipped from Jiankang this time.

I just don't know how many of them are pistols and how many are artillery.

Now it seems that Puchao kept the artillery and pistols separately, which can be said to be careful.

The person in charge of escorting the weapons was the apprentice of the master blacksmith Lao Wei. Seeing this boy, he quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "For the record, Minister, there are only five boxes of artillery, and they are all at the end of the team. The fifteen boxes in front are all pistols.

"

"Pu Takuzu said that for the soldiers, it is more cost-effective to own a pistol. The soldiers also like it, so he urged us to make more pistols. The artillery is also stepping up production, but it will be delivered later.

."

Wang Mi stroked his beard and thought to himself: This old man really has a way of doing things, and he can actually consider the feelings of the soldiers.

Even Wang Mi had not thought of this before.

This is also true. For soldiers, compared with artillery that is useless once used, it is more practical to put a pistol in their hands.

Just like the bows, arrows and long knives they carry with them, they can be regarded as personal belongings of the soldiers. No one can take them away, and no one can snatch them away.

The size can be considered a property.

When going into battle to kill the enemy, as long as you think that the powerful weapon in your hand belongs to you, your motivation to kill the enemy will increase exponentially.

This is true even for modern warriors.

Otherwise, in the difficult period when weapons were scarce, why would everyone be scrambling for the crooked weapon, Type 92?

There are even Italian cannons…

"very good."

"When you go back, you must thank Master Pu for me and say that he has put in a lot of effort. With these weapons, the soldiers of Beifu will definitely attack the city and pull out the stronghold. The more they fight, the more brave they will be."

The young apprentice nodded vigorously and agreed happily, but did not leave.

Why don't you go?

Wang Mi slapped his forehead and finally realized.

"Quickly, follow me to the big tent. Meals have been prepared for you. Once you are full and rested, it will not be too late to go back."

There is no reason to come from afar and not take care of the food.

Someone was also very happy.

He actually wanted to send the brothers back to Jiankang without giving them food or money.

Wang Mi made a gesture to lead the way, but the young apprentice did not follow him.

What's happening here?

Why don't you leave?

"Little brother, what else can you do?"

"Don't worry."

The young apprentice swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and mumbled a few times, but he still didn't say anything and just looked at Wang Mi with that pitiful look.

What does this say?

Is he so scary?

As for him being speechless?
