Heroes of Silver Moon

"Who should be selected first to serve as the backbone of the new army?" Bulder asked solemnly.

Simon thought for a moment, and replied: "The first thing is to be honest and honest, and the second is to be strong in action, just these two points!"

As a new army using hot weapons, Simon does not need brave and good fighters, he only needs soldiers to strictly observe discipline and obey orders.

Everyone nodded unsurprisingly. A brave man must maintain his own courage. With that kind of terrible weapon, the new army really doesn't need a stabbing head to serve as the backbone. It's enough to be honest and obedient enough!

"Knight Xavier escorted your brother to the capital, how should we recruit recruits?" Boulder asked again with a puzzled face.

None of them had any experience in recruiting recruits. The hundred people before were all recruited by Xi Weier.

"That's a good question, I'll leave this matter to you!" Simon suddenly smiled and looked at Bulder, making him suddenly confused.

"Give it to me?" Burd asked a little flustered and uncertain.

"The Knights of Silver were seconded after all. In the future, we still have to rely on ourselves to recruit soldiers. Among this group of people, everyone else has to be responsible for the training of new recruits. Only you, the deputy company commander, are the most free. Whoever you don't want to go!" Simon laughed. His eyes almost narrowed.

Boulder's expression froze for a moment, then he nodded helplessly.

Among the group of people, he is indeed the only one who is the most idle.

The chief officer of the new army is Harris, who is generally responsible for everything. Siegel and others are the backbone of officers at all levels. They have to train with the soldiers on weekdays. The deputy company commander is completely idle.

Originally thought that after becoming the deputy chief officer of the new army, he would definitely be able to show his talents, but it turned out that there was nothing wrong with him at all.

Burd now understands why Simon didn't let Siegel, who was obviously better than him, take up the position of deputy company commander, because this position is completely dispensable.

"How do I go about recruiting recruits?" Burd asked with a bitter face.

"Take a sign and write down the salary of the new army, and shout it loudly in several towns in Gaoshanling. There are probably a lot of people who are willing to sign up. When the time comes, pick the best two hundred and record their names and addresses. Just arrange a time for them to gather and report!" Simon replied calmly.

Indeed, the treatment of the new army is really good, so Simon is not worried that no one will sign up.

If he spread the word about the treatment of the new army, and then relaxed the recruitment of recruits, it is estimated that within a month, he would be able to directly create an army of 50,000 people.

But unfortunately, he can't do this. If there are more people, there will be more troubles. Expansion too fast will definitely disturb the discipline of the new army.

In addition, the money bag is another reason. The cost of supporting a soldier of the new army is about 20 gold coins, and 50,000 people are one million gold coins. He cannot afford this amount.

Bullard nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.

 …

Another morning, the familiar whistle sounded again.

The memory of being practiced appeared in his mind, and Glennan got up from the bed at once, quickly put on his uniform and put the bedding roll into the rucksack, and then put the rucksack on the designated position in the camp.

When a group of people walked out of the tent, there were only twenty-two rucksacks in the tent, which looked really clean and simple.

Morning exercise was still a disgusting long-distance run. After breakfast, everyone was taken to a small hill not far from the camp, and Glennanton felt puzzled.

According to past experience, they should train the queue now, but why bring them to such a place?

Snapped! A clear and loud sound echoed in the ears, which immediately shocked everyone, including Glennan.

Simon stood on a high ground not far away, looking at the group of recruits with a half-smile. The revolver in his hand was facing the sky, and the gun was still emitting green smoke. It was obvious that he had fired the shot just now.

"Are you afraid and afraid of this voice?" Simon asked loudly.

The recruits looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. The voice suddenly rang in their ears just now, which really shocked them, but after recovering, they found that there seemed to be nothing to be afraid of!

Seeing that no one answered, and some recruits were obviously still a little scared, Simon fired a few shots into the sky again.

Several gunshots echoed in their ears, and after realizing that they had not received much damage, the panic of the recruits suddenly turned into curiosity, and they all looked at Simon eagerly.

Or rather, looking at the weapon in his hand.

"Yes, compared to what some of you have already guessed, this is the weapon to be used in the next battle. Of course, there are differences in style."

Simon said with a smile at first, and then his face suddenly became cold: "Squad leader come out!"

After receiving the order, the squad leaders such as Garken stepped forward and formed a column, and ran to Simon in a neat pace.

With a solemn expression, Simon took out red and black bolt-action rifles from the space ring and handed them to the squad leaders.

Squad leaders like Galken also took over the rifles solemnly and carried them on their backs.

Saluting, turning, and running, it was like rehearsing countless times. Galken and the others each carried eleven rifles on their backs and returned to the queue.

"Start distributing weapons!" Following Simon's order, Galken and others came out again, distributing rifles to everyone with a solemn expression.

After receiving the weapon handed over by squad leader Galken~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although his body didn't make any more movements, Glennan's eyes began to look at him quietly.

Glennan couldn't help but be familiar with this strangely shaped weapon.

Because they held the same wood as this weapon and trained for a whole month, how could he not be excited to finally see the real thing this time!

only? How exactly is this weapon used? Glennan couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

In the previous training, they practiced aiming like crossbows for a while, and thrusting like spears for a while. Could it be that this is a weapon that can be used for both far and near combat?

The sudden thought immediately startled Glennan.

He is the son of a mercenary, of course he knows the pros and cons of various weapons.

The advantage of the crossbow is that it is easy to use and has a long attack distance. At a long distance, a farmer without any training can even use it to shoot and kill a fully armed regular army soldier.

But the shortcomings are also obvious, the reload time is too slow, and once it is close, it is almost useless to fight back.

But if this weapon has the functions of a spear and a crossbow at the same time, wouldn't it be!

Glennan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to understand why this new army had almost no requirements for recruiting soldiers, because it was completely unnecessary.

As long as the discipline is good enough, the entire army can form a formation, shoot the enemy with a bow and crossbow at a long distance, and form a gun forest when the enemy approaches.

People in this world are never stupid, it's just their vision that limits them.

Through this weapon, Glennan quickly figured out the meaning of the previous training, and even guessed part of the content of the next training!
