In order to prepare for the upcoming war, all factories in Mayi stopped their original construction tasks and began to build various weapons for the war.
The refugees who opened up wasteland began a new round of military training in district units, under the leadership of each district chief.
At this time, Xu Wei is no longer worried about instructors. He now has 70,000 veterans who have received military training, and he is barely capable of leading a single person. In fact, Xu Wei has no shortage of basic officers here, but there is a huge shortage of middle- and high-level officers. Most of them are
It's all about chasing ducks to get on the shelves, even Xu Wei is the same. Although he now commands 200,000 people in an orderly manner, in reality he has only been a team leader.
He fought these battles entirely by rolling over with equipment and sneak attacks. Of course, he had some experience after fighting a few battles, but he had barely passed the novice stage, so he attached great importance to every battle.
Now, in order to allow everyone to quickly gain combat effectiveness, Xu Wei uses 10,000 veterans as the base officers, with 500 veterans serving as basic officers for every 10,000 people.
After gathering the original 60,000 veterans, although most of them had only been trained for 3 months! The real elites were the 10,000 veterans who had been trained by Xu Wei for a year, plus the farmers who had newly opened up wasteland, Xu Wei organized
Sent out 100,000 troops and began training them.
The morale of these soldiers was also very high. Not only were they not worried about the coming war, but they were all eager to destroy the Huns who came over!
Several people even ran up to Xu Wei and asked: "Shuai Qu, when are we going to destroy these Huns? We can't be passively beaten like this, we must take the initiative to attack!"
Xu Wei was surprised by their morale and asked: "Don't you worry about the coming war? You must know that the Huns are cavalry and have very strong combat effectiveness!"
Soldier Bao Jue said angrily: "We have finally settled down in Mayi and have a stable life, but now the Huns want to take away our wealth and disturb our current life. Naturally, we will fight them desperately."
Obviously defending their homeland is very costly for these soldiers!
"And the Huns are just the defeated generals of our Han people. If they dare to provoke us, of course we have to deal with them and let them know who is the real master!"
Xu Wei would like to thank this era. The Han people have been hammering the Huns and other Hu people for more than 300 years. Instead of being afraid of the Hu people, the Han people are full of confidence. Even if the Hu people have the advantage, everyone dares to fight. After all, in this era, everyone believes in one
The Han Dynasty has reached Wuhu, which means that in everyone's eyes, 100,000 of them can fight 500,000 of the Huns, but now I heard that the enemy is only about 100,000, one to one, the advantage is mine, so naturally everyone will not be afraid
In my heart, I want to end the war as soon as possible so that they can continue to build their homeland!
Xu Wei looked at these soldiers and nodded: "The military morale is available!"
Then he loudly said to the training soldiers: "Everyone, train well. Our enemies are just a group of Huns and horse bandits in northern Xinjiang. Even if they are large in number, they are just a ragtag group. Victory will belong to us. The only trouble is
They are riding on horses, it is difficult for us to kill them all!"
The soldiers all laughed and said: "Commander Qu, it's not easy to catch these Huns and horse bandits. We just need to dig trenches to prevent them from escaping!"
"These horse bandits are also treasures. Tens of thousands of horse bandits are not equivalent to tens of thousands of horses. This is a big fortune!" Soldier Wangdao said with a smile.
They also infected Xu Wei, and the enemy seemed to become less scary.
Xu Wei came to the ironmaking plant to guide them in upgrading their technology. It was time to upgrade the ironmaking plant's technology.
At this time, Old Man Niu also stopped making farm tools, and the iron smelting plant began to make weapons with all its strength. Taking this opportunity, Xu Wei handed over the technology of mixing steel to Old Man Niu. After adding a dry pot, he used an iron rod to stir the steel.
The carbon element can be fully burned, and the steel produced is dozens of times worth. While the steel is still steaming, the hydraulic turbine drives a hammer weighing more than 200 tons and directly smashes it down.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Half-chest steel armors were produced one by one,
"Boom, boom, boom!" On another production line, a steel helmet was smashed out.
There is also a refining production line for long knives and long swords at the back. Just use an iron grinding tool and a long knife and long sword can be smashed out quickly.
When Old Man Niu saw this scene, he sighed with emotion: "Old man, I have been working hard all my life. This is the first time I discovered that weapons can be made so easily. This sword, which is worth thousands of gold, can be made so easily."
He has now recognized Xu Wei as an immortal. Otherwise, how could he have so many iron-making technologies, especially these machines? How could they be imagined by mortals? They are simply treasures!
To Old Man Niu, the hammer was a treasure, but to Xu Wei it was nothing. He had seen tens of thousands of tons of hydraulic presses, but now it was just a hammer weighing about 200 kilograms, which was nothing compared to the big one.
He casually took out a polished common long sword: "What is the quality of these weapons?"
Old Man Niu took out an iron sword and said to Xu Wei: "It is 10 times stronger than the previous iron sword. You will know after you try it."
Xu Wei took the steel sword in his hand and slashed hard at the iron sword in Old Man Niu's hand.
"Dang!" The iron sword broke instantly, while the steel sword only had a small chip.
"Using these swords to deal with enemies, one can defeat ten." Old Man Niu was extremely confident.
Then he said helplessly: "It's a pity that the time is too short now. Otherwise, if we were all equipped with all-steel weapons like this, it wouldn't be a problem even if we slaughtered all these little Huns."
Xu Weidao: "It's okay. We haven't discarded our previous weapons. Now we are trying to find ways to make more of them. As long as these weapons can arm the cavalry, it will be enough."
Then he said helplessly: "In fighting in northern Xinjiang, without cavalry, you are like a blind man! But our cavalry is too small."
Even if Xu Wei finds a way to increase the cavalry, he only has 3,000 cavalry in his hands so far, and most of them have only been trained for a few months. They can only be regarded as infantry on horseback. Xu Wei cannot guarantee that they will encounter
How much combat effectiveness can genuine Huns cavalry deliver? So in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of these cavalry, Xu Wei equipped them with the latest half-length steel armor, steel helmets, and steel swords. It can be said that the price of this set of equipment exceeds that in the Han Dynasty.
100 gold, it can be said that it is a cavalry made of gold.
Of course, in order to improve the combat effectiveness, the cavalry's three-piece suit is indispensable. Horseshoes, horse stools, high bridge saddles, and Xu Wei are all equipped for the cavalry. With these three-piece suits, the cavalry's combat effectiveness is at least doubled.
Moreover, each cavalryman is equipped with a crossbow. If the enemy is found from a distance, he can take a step directly. It can be said that these precious cavalrymen have been armed to the teeth by Xu Wei.
