Chapter 130 Military and Reconnaissance
The fishing port started to operate, and the musketeers who were running for meat could finally stop and rest for a while, but they were assigned a new task by Ji Lin before they could rest for a few days.
The goal of this time was to scout whether there was a camp upstream of the river.
If there was, reconnaissance should be the main focus, and if it was determined, the target could be eliminated.
Ji Lin could get some reconnaissance information with the help of the system.
Chang Heng recalled what his lord said.
Well, who made him a field worker?
At least he rested for three days this time, which allowed him and his musketeers to have a rare good sleep. In the wild, because there were scout hunting spiders placed outside as guards/meat shields, their daily rest was not bad.
It was just not as comfortable as lying in bed.
As the number one contributor to the development of the territory, the musketeers were directly qualified to live in the house, and special rune lights were installed in each room. The bedding was also a softer bed quilt specially made and sewn by the tailor shop.
Even if they didn't stay in the territory for a few days a month, it was what they deserved.
At least let the soldiers get enough rest when they return to the territory.
There are indeed many mosquitoes in the wild.
The general smacked his lips and took a bite of the freshly cut sugarcane.
The sweet juice flowed into his throat, and then the residue was spit out.
Another reason for the territory to promote sugarcane juice is that these residues that have been fully squeezed out of juice are still full of plant fibers, so they can also be put into papermaking, and all its resources can be used.
The insect repellent herbs that Wubai brought to them before were very effective after being ignited, but when did the territory start planting herbs?
Changheng scratched his head.
After having a full rest, their work efficiency has also been greatly improved.
This time they also received special mosquito repellent herbs.
The firepower used by this batch of reconnaissance musketeers was also temporarily enhanced.
Carrying mixed crystal ore explosives, wrapped in waterproof and moisture-proof leather, and tied with rags.
Being able to make gunpowder, making explosives will not be a problem.
Carrying explosive packs, they already look a bit like grenadiers.
They are just different branches extending from the same technology tree.
The next round of military expansion plan has been finalized, and the current two hundred militiamen in the territory will be transformed into formal shooting forces.
This requires Chang Heng to select forty musketeers as the backbone, and expand the current shooting force size of the territory in a one-to-five mode.
This reconnaissance operation is an excellent selection opportunity, and actual combat is the best assessment.
The soldiers are sitting scattered in the shooting range, carefully cleaning the rifles in their hands, using iron long poles to put linen, and carefully wiping the already smooth barrels again and again.
You fool the equipment in normal times, and the equipment fools you in wartime.
"It's time to set off... Gather! Form a team!"
Chang Heng shouted, and the soldiers on the field immediately put away what they were doing as quickly as possible, and gathered into four teams of twenty-five people.
Three minutes, the assembly and formation were completed.
Seven o'clock in the morning, it was a good time to set off.
Chang Heng straightened his wrinkled clothes. This officer's uniform was no longer as new as when he first got it, but had quite a lot of wear and tear.
He looked more like a serious frontline officer than before.
Perhaps because he had the shadow of lack of supplies, Ji Lin always invested more resources in selecting his subordinates to improve their combat conditions.
He had experienced such a bad scene, so there was no need to let his subordinates experience it again.
Ji Lin still maintained his low living standards, and did not invest resources in himself or even his living conditions like many lords.
"Finally check and prepare to set off."
Chang Heng issued the order before departure.
This disciplined army began to check and confirm whether their equipment was complete. A gray tide gathered behind them. There were already 500 scout hunting spiders who would join the battle with the patrol sentinels/soldiers.
This was the result of the hunting spider nest's desperate production. In order to obtain these cheap and sufficient soldiers, Ji Lin spent a lot of food.
Spiders are naturally adaptable to the forest, and they can be delivered to the soldiers without additional training like new soldiers.
The death of a hundred hunting spiders is not as painful as the death of a musketeer.
When the scout hunting spiders die, the soldiers will burn them to ashes with a raging fire like human comrades, and then bury the ashes in the soil... In order to prevent wild animals from digging their bodies out of the ground, wild animals with a keen sense of smell will turn the soil, so a funeral plan must be adopted.
And mourn for the departure of these loyal guards.
Funeral ceremony.
After the inspection, the soldiers spread out and marched along the river bank upstream. The deployed scout hunting spiders blocked them like an arc barrier, surrounding the soldiers in the safest area, the center of the circle.
Advancing in the forest, these veterans are more accustomed to spreading out in the forest.
This is the experience gained by this musketeer unit in long-term hunting. To reach this level, the newly trained musketeers need a lot of training and combat experience.
