Chapter 0089 - Real Arrow Training
Fang Jue asked Qian to open a tent to rest, have lunch together, and personally poured wine for Qian. However, Qian Kai had some bad premonitions, he got to know Fang Jue more and more, he couldn't afford to be early without profit, and he had nothing to do. But it was hard to refuse, so he could only wait silently for Fang Jue to speak.
These days, Qian Kai asked his two brothers to come to the capital to help him, not only to assist him in mining iron ore, but also to enter other industries, such as cloth shops, gambling houses, rice shops... Wait a minute. Because Qian Kai is an imperial businessman, he holds the mining privilege book given to him by the prince, but he uses it properly and becomes a commercial pass. Qian Kai is only slowly expanding various industries, waiting for a firm foothold in the capital, and then considering expanding the scope, so the major business giants in Chang'an have not made too much trouble for Qian Kai, after all, it has not affected their fundamental interests, and there is no need to offend His Royal Highness the Prince.
Fang Jue slowly took out a few drawings, and it seemed that he was going to make a new weapon again. Qian Kai also knows a little about reading drawings and manufacturing processes these days, he saw that the drawings given by Fang Jue were very complicated, and he wouldn't have to make a thousand sets, such a process, I'm afraid it would take a lot of time to complete.
"Just give me one set of each." Fang Jue saw that Qian Kai was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile.
Qian Kai was relieved at this time, so it was. A pair of iron claws, he guessed were made for the ugly wolf. A strange cylinder shape, not very large, but complicated, he couldn't tell what it was, but he saw a very sharp thing, like an enlarged needle, which should also be a weapon.
"This is a self-defense secret weapon, if you like it too, you can make one more, I'll give it to you." Fang Jue said with a smile.
Qian Kai couldn't cry or laugh, the materials and production are all mine, and you will give it to me. However, I heard Fang Jue say that it is a self-defense secret weapon, which is a good thing, it is inevitable to encounter danger when going out, and one more magic weapon to defend oneself will be less dangerous. However, Qian Kai couldn't understand how to use this secret weapon, and Fang Jue was also very mysterious. Fang Jue just explained that it must be done according to the size, and there can be no mistakes at all, otherwise it will not be able to assemble.
Qian Kai looked at Fang Jue like a monster, after all these years of contact, he didn't know that Fang Jue actually knew so much, not only could he draw, but he could also think of so many strange things, and he could train soldiers without a teacher. Incredible, incredible.
Qian Kaizheng looked at Fang Jue stupidly, and suddenly the ugly wolf howled, waking Qian Kai up.
"Is there something on my face?" Fang Jue's direct gaze at Qian Kai was a little unnatural, and he touched his handsome and chic face with his hand. "I also think that I am too otherworldly and handsome and chic, don't think anything about me, I like women, you know."
"Poof..."
Qian Kai squirted out a sip of wine, this was the rhythm of vomiting blood, Qian Kai was already injured internally, holding his chest and coughing.
Fang Jue's face was ruined, this was the price of his joke, he didn't expect the money to be too low, otherwise he wouldn't have said this, and all the dishes on the table would have been ruined. The ugly wolf sat on the side and gnawed on his chicken legs, looking at this scene, looking at Fang Jue and Qian Kai with some inexplicable eyes.
"I'm sorry..."Qian Kai hurriedly wiped the residual wine on Fang Jue's face.
Fang Jue just sat upright, like a wooden man, letting the money be wiped indiscriminately. In fact, Fang Jue's eyes fell behind Qian Kai, because Nan Feng was staring at this scene blankly.
"I'll go out first."
Nan Feng turned around and wanted to leave, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, this scene was a little unbearable. No wonder this Qian Kai Gongzi is willing to help his young master without asking for anything in return, it turns out that there is still this relationship, why didn't he see it before!
Fang Jue hurriedly picked off Qian Kai's stinky claws and said to Nan Feng. "Stop, what's the matter?"
"The subordinates came to report what to do with the previous shield."
There are regulations in the barracks that weapons and equipment need to be recycled even if they are scrapped and then handed over to the military department for disposal. But Fang Jue didn't care, and said lightly. "Let Brother Qian pull it back."
Qian Kai put away the drawings, then said goodbye to Fang Jue with some apologies, and pulled away the abandoned shield by the way when he left.
Fang Jue got out of the camp tent and began to train the soldiers to shoot. The range of the new light bow crossbow is much larger than that of ordinary bows and arrows, and it can be operated with one hand, and after shooting, you can hide behind the shield, and if both sides attack with bows and arrows, this can greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
Array, protection, impact, Fang Jue asked the soldiers to repeat over and over again, and finally Fang Jue transferred two hundred people and let them hold bows and arrows for actual combat exercises. The iron arrow of real qualifications, there is no adulteration at all, everyone is extremely careful, if they are shot and injured by their own people on the training ground, it will be too wrong, too embarrassing.
"Ready, put..."
The two centurions ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows at the other eight phalanxes, and Fang Jue vouched that they were not afraid to shoot and injure their own people, whooshing... A series of crossbow arrows flew out like raindrops and landed in the phalanx of eight hundreds.
"Protect, enter..."
The eight phalanxes, under the command of their respective centurions, all followed their own commanders to move closer to the centurion, and the single body was protected, turning into nine small formations of protection, and then gathering into a large protection of a hundred people. The speed is orderly, and he has already practiced like fire, but he still can't help but feel a little nervous, after all, this is a real combat drill, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he may be injured and die.
It was not until the eight phalanxes gathered at a certain distance and then surrounded all 200 people that the drill was over. Of course, a phalanx of 800 men could not fire arrows, and a team of 200 men could not use shields. In this way, he took turns to practice until the end of the five rounds of exercises, and none of them were injured, which was unexpected by Fang Jue.
Fang Jue didn't think this was enough, and then continued to practice other phalanxes, flanking the front and back, so that the soldiers could get used to how to protect themselves when there were enemies in front and behind.
Fang Jue had already let the soldiers practice the protective formation many times, so Fang Jue just sat on the sidelines and watched, sometimes cheering in the ring, and sometimes Mingjin withdrawing the troops.
Fang Jue's camp was training in full swing, and Chu Liuyun's side was also trained by Yao Qi commanding the soldiers. The strong bow and crossbow combined with the fast attack are also very strong.
Chu Liuyun sat alone in the camp tent, although he was sick, he was not idle, he was also studying, in a few days it should be time for the emperor to review the new army, how to make the soldiers show a different demeanor. Chu Liuyun is familiar with military books and is proficient in many formations, and these days, he has let the soldiers practice many times of all the formations he knows. Chu Liuyun finally finalized a few aggressive formations to focus on training, in his heart, only a strong offensive team can grasp the initiative of the battle formation, and it can also let His Majesty the Emperor see the true level of the soldiers.
The camps of the two armies are separated by a fence, but there are two training modes, and the drums of war are thundering and thundering, resounding one after another through the camp of the new army.
