Chapter 109: Troops

The little guy didn't know that his existence could allow Shangguan Che to see such a pure and beautiful world, and he didn't know that he had learned what was the best, what happiness and tenderness were, and what was involuntary pity. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When the little guy finished drinking the water in the cup and raised his head, he saw the expression on Shangguan Che's face. At this time, he was looking at her with a smile, his eyes full of love and appreciation.

At that moment, he must have wished he had a child like her, right?

The little one smiled at him.

Her smile was as bright as the sun and as sweet as a flower, making Shangguan Che like a spring breeze.

How could there be such a cute little baby! Shangguan Che sighed again, involuntarily reached out to hug her, and sighed softly.

The little guy didn't understand why he always sighed after looking at her silently for a while, but she didn't ask, just obediently leaned into his arms, as if leaning on Jiang Chuanxiong's arms.

Shangguan Che hugged her for a short moment before continuing: "Let's talk about the types of troops that need to be equipped when fighting. Broadly speaking, there are three main types of troops: cavalry, infantry and sailors.

Cavalry, as the name suggests, is to fight on horseback, and has become the main branch of the army in land warfare because of its strong mobility, strong attack power, and fast action.

Cavalry is further divided into archers, hoplites, and light cavalry.

Those who serve as cavalry archers should have superb riding skills, even knowing how to control their horses without using reins, and secondly, they must know how to accurately fire arrows from different angles, especially the 'return arrows'.

The most important thing for the archers is not to fall off their horses, once they fall off their horses, their lives will be lost.

Heavy cavalry, also known as heavy cavalry, is a class of soldiers who wear armor and carry shields, and even their mounts are fully armed. This class is capable of striking enemy positions with the speed and momentum generated by the charge, making it highly resistant. This class is mainly used to destroy the enemy's formation and demoralize the enemy. Its main combat weapons were spears and shields.

In combat, heavy cavalry is the most important, the most expensive, and the most glorious of troops. ”

The little guy nodded and said sincerely: "No wonder it's called heavy cavalry, it's really 'heavy'." ”

Shangguan Che said with a smile: "Yes, the iron armor on the soldiers and horses combined is generally not less than two hundred catties. ”

The little guy sighed and said, "So it's better not to have a war." ”

Shangguan Che nodded, reached out and gently touched her head.

Then, Shangguan Che said: "Light cavalry refers to lightly armed cavalry, and their equipment is much lighter than that of heavy cavalry. Light cavalry were armed only with armor protection from the waist up, and armed with weapons such as swords, bows and arrows, round shields, and long axes. They are known for their fighting skills, both independently and in combination, and are a symbol of freedom and courage. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"Infantry, refers to the arms that march on foot, and are divided into light infantry, heavy infantry, crossbowmen, pikemen, instrumentalmen, axes, archers, shieldmen, and swordsmen.

Light infantry can be equipped with melee weapons such as one-handed swords, two-handed swords, round shields, axes, maces, and round shields.

In combat, the light infantry has the largest number and the highest battle loss rate, so the combat mode of the light infantry is - hit and run. ”

The little guy said, "This class is quite pitiful. ”

Shangguan Che smiled again, nodded, and said, "Yes." There is no soldier who is not pity. ”

"Crossbowmen, that is, the arms that specialize in the use of crossbows, the main mode of combat is long-range fire. In combat, the ballista is generally fired first, and then the crossbowmen form a formation and fire in batches to form a rain of arrows, which plays the role of covering, killing and deterring the enemy. ”

Jiang Yuetang, who was imagining that scene, suddenly had his blood boiling, and he really wanted to go to the battlefield immediately to experience it.

Looking at the little guy's fascinate expression, Shangguan Che smiled and drank a few sips of water.

He still remembered that he was like this when he was studying the art of war, because he listened enthusiastically, so he hoped that he could go to war all day long. He smiled and took her into his arms again.

The little guy got into his arms, looked at him and asked curiously, "Teacher, have you ever fought?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that this sentence should not be asked, because the age in which the teacher was born no longer required the use of force.

Shangguan Che stroked her head and said, "No, since the five countries of the Central Plains decided to fight for their territory by means of a strategic competition, the five countries of the Central Plains have rarely started wars. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"Pikemen, as the name suggests, are the class that holds spears. The spear is lightweight, has a long killing distance, has strong penetrating power, and can be stabbed and slashed, so the pikemen can fight both infantry and cavalry, and play an indispensable role in army combat. ”

Shangguan Che drew a spear on the paper as he spoke, pointing to the structure of the spear and explaining it to Jiang Yuetang in detail.

The little guy listened with relish, and the little half of his body unconsciously fell on the table. Shangguan Che smiled and reached out to scoop her up, and fished her whole into his arms.

Shangguan Che kissed her forehead and continued: "Instrumental soldiers, referring to the troops that specialize in operating trebuchets and giant crossbows during the siege of the city. This type of soldier needs to have proficient equipment handling skills, and also need to have a body of strength.

The trebuchet is a siege weapon that can throw boulders, corpses, gunpowder, poisons/potions, etc., at an enemy's castle or castle to cause damage. ”

While explaining, Shangguan Che drew a model of a trebuchet.

Jiang Yuetang listened to his explanation and looked at the drawings he drawn, and quickly and well understood what he said.

"A giant crossbow is a giant bow and crossbow with a long range, which is generally fired through an instrument and is extremely lethal. ”

Shangguan Che drew the picture in a huff.

The little guy watched intently, imagining those battle scenes, and was fascinated.

"Soldiers who fight with axes are called axemen, and there are two kinds of axes: single axes and double axes. During the battle, the axe soldier wields the axe in his hand and rushes forward, and sometimes he can throw the axe in his hand as a projectile to the enemy, which is extremely lethal and deterrent.

Because it takes a certain amount of strength to make an axe, the axemen should choose the one with the most strength.

Archers, as the name suggests, are fought with bows, also known as archers, and mainly attack the enemy from a distance. Archers are required to be proficient in the use of a variety of bows and arrows, and have excellent eyesight and arm strength. When the two armies were fighting, archers were generally placed at the rear or flanks of the camp to provide cover and long-range attacks. ”

Shangguan Che drew a battle map of the archers again.
