"The three major training camps are a major event of the imperial court, and they are also important matters that the Holy Emperor pays attention to. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info about this matter, there is one thing you need to know. That is, the three major training camps are for the army. The imperial court did not train you so that you could show off your might in the capital. It's to send you to the barracks and become the talents of the Empire. ”

"So there are some things that you need to know in advance. Moreover, with your current state of cultivation, it is also time to come into contact with this matter. ”

Standing on the edge of a bow and arrow training ground surrounded by wooden stakes, Zhao Qianqiu said slowly to everyone.

"There are three types of troops in the army: archers, infantry, and cavalry, which is also the profession you need to choose in the future. Archers correspond to agility in martial arts!"

Zhao Qianqiu stretched out his hand and pointed to a student in the distance of the training ground. I saw that the man was holding an arrow in his hand, holding a big strong bow, and suddenly let go, and in the blink of an eye, he saw twelve arrows shooting out like rain.

In the blink of an eye, the man drew at least a dozen strong bows. Twelve sharp arrows drew different trajectories in the void, and each accurately shot at the twelve different wooden figures fifty meters away from each other.

Each of the twelve sharp arrows entered the wood for three points, and the cluster of arrows sank deep into the wooden man's body.

Woohoo!

Almost at the same time, another student drew his bow with an arrow, and this time it was a rain of fourteen sharp arrows, shooting the same wooden figure from different directions.

The shooting positions are all the vital parts of the wooden people.

Seeing this scene, everyone was in a dark heart.

"This is agility! All martial artists who practice agility will be several times faster than others. Some people can even be more than ten times faster. In other words, in head-to-hand combat, without considering strength, all agile martial artists, if you punch him, he can punch you two, three, or even more. ”

"And on the battlefield, this kind of warrior is the most suitable for archers. Bows and arrows, combined with the speed of the warrior's shots, can produce a large number of arrows in a short period of time. Legend has it that the most powerful archers of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates could shoot fifty rabbits running in the grass at the same time from a distance of several miles, and all of them hit the same parts. ”

"In other words, when he arrives on the battlefield, he can shoot down fifty of our elite infantry at the same time in the blink of an eye! If you come with ten magic arrows, you can imagine how many infantry we will fall in one shot. If there were more, fifty, a hundred, or more, basically our strikers would start to crumble!"

"However, although the archers of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates are the most powerful, the most powerful archers in this world are those of our Tang Empire. Do you know why?"

When Zhao Qianqiu said this, he suddenly stopped, looked at everyone and smiled.

"Crossbows, armor, and arrows!"

Zhao Jingdian pondered on the side.

"Clever! Because we have the best bow and crossbow in the world, the sharpest arrows, and the armor to protect the soldiers!"

Zhao Qianqiu praised it.

Wang Chong stood beside him, but frowned imperceptibly. At this moment, he remembered what Ye Lao and Hu Gong had mentioned.

In the past few decades, the Tang Dynasty has traded with the world, and the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates have taken advantage of the convenience of these decades to accumulate a large number of refined iron, dark iron, arrow clusters and armor.

This long time was enough for them to create a large amount of armor and sharp arrowheads. Although he has already reminded Ye Lao that they use "tariffs" to control the outflow of steel.

But there is no remedy for the refined iron and dark iron that flowed out before.

"Everyone has just entered the camp, Zhao Qianqiu deliberately omitted these, so as not to cause panic and hit everyone's confidence!"

Wang Chong said secretly in his heart. deliberately omitted part of the truth, and Wang Chong didn't know whether this was good or bad.

“...... The only one who can deal with the archers is the archers. Therefore, the empire has always attached great importance to the cultivation of archers and archers!"

Zhao Qianqiu continued to say in front.

"Strength, speed, and agility are the three major categories of martial arts, agility corresponds to archers, and in a breath, they can shoot dozens of sharp arrows, and speed corresponds to cavalry. ”

Zhao Qianqiu took a few steps forward, and in a huge training ground, several candidates in strong suits were riding two ironclad war horses as black as dragons, galloping back and forth along the huge training ground, and there were many obstacle stakes in the training ground, which were arranged in a dense array.

The men walked back and forth in unison through the narrow gaps between the stakes, but their speed did not slow down at all.

The wooden swords they used for training in their hands kept being slashed out, each time sharpening the same part of the stake with precision.

"It seems that there are still a lot of good seedlings in this Kunwu training camp!"

Zhao Qianqiu stood on the periphery of the training ground and saw that the traces left by a candidate on all the wooden stakes were the same height and the same part, and he couldn't help but praise it.

"One of the advantages of the Iron Rider is that it is fast, comes and goes like the wind, and has strong mobility, and the second is the power of the charge!"

Zhao Qianqiu suddenly gestured to an instructor on the training ground. The latter laughed when he saw this:

"Zhao Qianqiu, let's say okay first, I smashed this stone. Tonight you go get one for yourself and move it up yourself!"

"Less nonsense, to do it or not to do it?"

Zhao Qianqiu scolded with a smile, the two were obviously familiar with each other.

"Forget it, for your students' sake, I'm afraid of you!"

The latter waved his hand, made a helpless gesture, and then pulled down his helmet, and the spear in his hand slowly turned and aimed in the other direction.

The crowd followed his spear gaze, and finally saw a huge boulder more than two people tall fifty feet away.

"It's so heavy! It's basalt, I'm afraid this stone doesn't weigh four or five thousand pounds!"

Wang Chong's heart moved, and he estimated the weight of the rock. He had noticed the rock when he first came over, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking it was some kind of decoration.

Now it seems that it is actually the target of cavalry practice!

Rumble!

The instructor sat on horseback, wearing heavy black armor with men and horses, looking murderous, like a demon god who had come out of hell.

The war horse sneezed, and suddenly burst out, leaving countless afterimages in the void like a bolt of lightning.

"Boom!"

Before everyone could react, they heard an earth-shattering noise in the distance. The earth shook, and fifty zhang away, the basalt boulder weighing four or five thousand catties suddenly split apart, bursting violently, and thousands of debris flew up hundreds of zhang of the sky like a rain of flowers, exploding violently.

For a moment, everyone froze. The wind hunting, the wind set off by the explosion, blowing everyone's faces from a distance of dozens of feet.

"Xi Yuyu!"

The war horses neighed, and in the misty smoke and dust, a man and a horse hunted with a breath, slowly revealing their figures, like gods against the backdrop of dust and stone chips in the sky.

"Zhao Qianqiu, remember to move a piece of Xuanwu Gang at night. This is the Xuanwu Gang for training, but it's on your head!"

The instructor leaped over the staked fence and disappeared down the hill in an instant.

"See. This is the power of the Iron Charge. A martial artist of the fifth order of Yuan Qi, with the cooperation of the iron horseman, can easily burst out of the peak power of the eighth order of Yuan Qi. And that's still a conservative estimate. A True Martial Fifth Order Iron Cavalry Legion can easily pack up a True Martial Seventh Order Infantry Legion when charging together on the battlefield! This is the power of the Iron Cavalry!"

"No matter what the forces, the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, the Goguryeo Empire, the Us-Tibetan Empire, or the Mengshe Edict of Erhai...... , along with the Tiaozhi and the Great Eclipse on the Anxi side, all the forces have cultivated a large army of iron cavalry. ”

"On the battlefield, the power of an iron horse is negligible, but an iron horse will always be a nightmare for any phalanx, and it is also your biggest threat on the battlefield in the future. ”

"When a huge iron cavalry makes a group charge, it can tear through absolutely any phalanx. In addition, like archers, only cavalry can deal with cavalry. Therefore, on the side of the Empire, the cultivation of iron horses is also emphasized!"

Zhao Qianqiu said.

Wang Chong frowned imperceptibly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. The power of the Iron Cavalry Charge is indeed great.

But for Wang Chong, it is by no means an irrepressible force.

The current empire is still stuck at the point where the iron cavalry charges against the iron cavalry charge. But in the era when he became the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and commanded the army, the iron cavalry charge was by no means a problem.

At the very least, it's not just cavalry that can deal with cavalry!

"Except for archers and cavalry, the rest are infantry! This is the largest branch of our army in the Tang Dynasty! As you can see now!"

Zhao Qianqiu didn't know what Wang Chong was thinking, he went all the way forward at this time, and he had already walked to the last area of the training area.

Following his gaze, in the huge training ground, everyone saw a large number of students, catching each other in pairs, fighting together in the training ground.

Archer area, cavalry area, infantry area, three major training areas, only here is the largest number of students. Here, the weapons used by the people are varied, the martial arts are also different, and the fighting style is by no means consistent.

Compared to archery and cavalry charges, combat and training here are much more abundant.

"Infantry is about strength! You can be good at horsemanship or bowery, as long as you have strength, you are a strong infantryman. Of the three major services, the infantry is the least demanding. Of the three major services, infantry has always had the highest casualty rate. However, it is different in this dynasty. From the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty and then to the present dynasty, our Tang Dynasty's infantry can be said to be the most powerful in all dynasties!"

"Looking at the world, our cavalry of the Tang Dynasty is no match for Uszang, and the archery skills are no match for the Eastern and Western Turks, but our infantry is the most powerful!"

"You need to remember that we in Datang have never fought in a single service. When the archers restrain the opponent's archers, and the cavalry restrains the opponent's cavalry, the next thing is the world of our infantry!"

Hearing the last sentence, there was an uproar around, and even the other candidates passing by around couldn't help laughing when they heard this sentence.

Indeed, looking at the world, Datang's infantry is definitely the most powerful. Whether it is an archer or a cavalry, once the vast number of infantry is approached in close quarters, close to hand-to-hand combat, and fighting with a huge number, the next step is almost a one-sided harvest.

Therefore, although the infantry is not as good as the archers and the cavalry, Datang still maintains a large number of infantry corps!

can play the role of infantry to such a point, looking at the world, there is only Datang!
