By the way, this was also the first time Xiao Han saw the rebuilt firearms camp.
Although, he had seen the drawings here countless times before, and many of them were designed by him himself.
But compared with the empty and extensive drawings, Xiao Han still felt extremely shocked when he saw the firearms camp before his eyes.
Nothing else, just because this is a product that is completely beyond this era!
"This is the Firearms Camp? It's well built, but those people at the top of the city are all carrying sticks? Is it possible that they have to go to Chang'an to beg for food after getting off work?"
Compared with Xiao Han's shock, the disgraced Liu Hongji was not very interested in this camp.
After all, from his point of view, although this place is much stronger than ordinary military camps, compared with strong cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang, it is still not even a little bit behind!
Especially the soldiers on the city wall did not carry spears, bows and arrows, but they all carried sticks. Did Xiao Han deduct their military equipment money? As a result, the soldiers could only pick up a few sticks to use as weapons?
"stick?!"
When Gouzi who was leading the way heard Liu Hongji's words, he rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky! If it weren't for the other party's noble status and the fact that Li had just cheated Liu Hongji, he felt a little sorry for him. I guess Gouzi would have been there by now.
He retorted!
"Why, that's not a stick?" Liu Hongji glanced at the idiot and laughed!
In fact, as Xiao Han's best friend, Liu Hongji also knew that the things in these people's hands must be mysterious.
But the problem is that the new Fire Guards' stuff has always been classified as top secret by the emperor, so he can't ask about it at all, so he can only use provocation to see if he can deceive it!
After all, in this way, even if the secret is really leaked, he can confidently tell others: "They are just angry. What I want to say has nothing to do with me, Old Liu!"
Even if he meets the emperor in the future, Liu Hongji can still use this rhetoric to push himself away completely.
"This is..."
Sure enough, although Gouzi is smart, he is still young and energetic after all!
Hear Liu Hongji describe the weapon he is most proud of as a tattered stick, and still go out begging for food with it?
I couldn't bear it any longer. I gritted my teeth and waved to a guard standing at the door. I wanted to demonstrate its power to Liu Hongji on the spot!
"Cough cough cough..."
Just when Gouzi grabbed the guard's "stick" and set up his position, he was ready to let this "country bear" (a local dialect, generally referring to an ignorant fool) have a good time opening his eyes.
Xiao Han still couldn't stand it anymore, coughed a few times and said: "Okay! Go in first! If you want to see it, go to the training ground in the afternoon to see it. What's the point here?"
"This...here!"
After hearing this, Gouzi, who had already taken a good posture, reluctantly returned the spear to the guard.
Seeing him holding the gun back in his arms like a treasure, and not forgetting to wipe away the fingerprints he had just scratched with his clothes, Gouzi's face also became extremely wonderful.
"Still! Am I that dirty? Why don't you open the door quickly! Our general is back!" Unable to endure it, Gouzi kicked the soldier on the butt and shouted angrily!
"Ah...oh!"
The guard had just been worried about his gun, but now he had been kicked. Only then did he react. He hurriedly held the gun and ran back to the gate of the barracks. Then he shouted at the top of his voice: "Open the door! Welcome!"
General!"
"Creak, creak, creak..."
Following the roar of the guard, behind him, the gate weighing several thousand kilograms was slowly lifted.
Immediately, a gust of cold wind blew dust out from behind the door, turning the few guards standing at the door into disgrace, but they remained motionless, standing straight in front of the door like javelins.
"Welcome to the general..."
"Welcome General!!!"
When the gate was completely opened, several guards immediately yelled these words with all their strength!
Immediately following their roar, an even louder wave of sound came out from inside the gate! Xiao Han and his group, who had seemed a little lazy when they heard it, also unconsciously put away their smiles and straightened their bodies.
Enter the camp!
Under the leadership of Gouzi, Xiao Han stepped into this emerging camp for the first time.
After passing the Thousand Jin Gate, the first thing I saw was that there were two neat rows of people standing on both sides of the road in the camp. They all looked at me with excited expressions!
Fatty, Li Sanlang, and Xiao Han's familiar faces were all inside. Seeing the general looking over, it took a lot of effort to suppress the excitement in his heart and not jump up.
In addition to them, the "old men" of the new Fire Guards, Xiao Han also discovered that there were more unfamiliar faces in the team at this moment that he had never seen before.
As a secret experimental unit, in order to keep it secret, the number of the New Fire Guards has been very small since its establishment. The entire Guard, including the handymen who sweep the floors, only has a few hundred people.
With such a small number of people, let alone the other sixteen guards, even an inferior state or county guard is far inferior!
Therefore, Xiao Han always felt that he, the Seventeenth Guards General, was just a joke, and if he told it, his face would be disgraced!
After all, who has ever seen a general with only a few hundred soldiers under his command?
However, all this has completely become a thing of the past after the Tang Dynasty eliminated the threats from the north and the south!
Today's Tang Dynasty has enough confidence to look down on the world, and even stamping its feet can scare the hearts of all the foreign countries!
Under this situation, the new Fire Guards no longer have to hide like before, for fear of being known by others!
Instead, they can stand up openly, expand their scale, recruit troops, and let the world know that their Seventeenth Guards are not just appearances!
Even Xiao Han could guess that in the near future, it would be time for the new Fire Guards to shine on the battlefield and completely overturn the world!
"Are there so many people here?"
Liu Hongji, who followed Xiao Han into the camp, also looked surprised at this time, because if nothing else, there should be a thousand people in front of him.
And at a glance, here are all young people in their twenties, like veterans who are regarded as treasures in other armies, but there is not a single one here!
"This is a brand new unit. Their combat mode is completely different from any previous army. Their previous experience is of little use to them! As for the useful battlefield knowledge accumulated by the veterans, they will be explained in class. But wait
When they really go to the battlefield, their previous fighting style will affect their current fighting! On the contrary, it is not beautiful!"
As if he saw Liu Hongji's question, Xiao Han smiled faintly and answered it in a low voice.
