Chapter 520: Watching the Heavy Cavalry
(Happy New Year!!) Happy!! Ask for subscription, ask for reward!! )
On the whole, Wei Wuji was satisfied with yesterday's military parade, but in the end, he still used the most stern face to warn them not to relax for a moment, because the Huns' soldiers and horses could appear at any time.
And on this second day, Wei Wuji also had to inspect the army, and it was the army he relied on the most.
To be more precise, Wei Wuji actually went to judge the martial arts competitions of various departments, the kind of competitions with real swords and real guns, and the venue of the competition was set in the southeast of Naturalization City, which was both safe and open.
The more than 1,200 sets of weapons and armor built by the "Iron Factory" have now all been distributed, and each of the four lieutenants has received 300 sets.
In other words, the four captain's departments under Wei Wuji have not yet been fully assembled, and each captain's department is only used for training and teaching.
Fortunately, when he was recruiting soldiers before, Wei Wuji recruited soldiers according to the specifications of heavy cavalry, so the change of clothes was not a strong pressure on the sergeants and soldiers of the army.
And it is worth mentioning that because of the effective protection of the heavy armor, the casualty rate of their training is smaller than that of other naturalized departments.
The purpose of Wei Wuji's inspection this time was to see who among Hu Hansan's subordinates had the strongest combat power, and then he would send to whom the more than 600 sets of equipment newly produced this month were. This is also the biggest purpose of this competition.
Because the rules had been put down in advance, Hu Hansan and the others were all working hard to show their strongest side.
In the month since they came into contact with this heavy cavalry, Hu Hansan and his people can be said to have changed from the initial suspicion to the current level of worship.
In the eyes of Hu Hansan and others, this heavy cavalry can be called a complete explosion in this era in all aspects, except for the slightly slower speed.
With iron armor on your body, no matter how sharp your arrows are and your swords are tough, you can't hurt one person or one rider at all.
In addition to the iron armor, the iron cavalry that was issued to the hands of everyone could sweep away almost all obstacles, and with the powerful impact of the cavalry's speed, it could crush the enemy to pieces.
In that case, who wouldn't want all of their men to be equipped with such weapons?
Therefore, even if the relationship is good on weekdays, now Hu Han and the three and four people look at each other with deep hostility in their eyes.
Because they were heavy cavalry, Wei Wuji only had two things to look at, one of which was to tell them if they could maintain a better formation when charging. The second is that after an order, the speed can be increased as soon as possible.
The hoplite is slower than the normal cavalry, which means that he needs to increase his speed as quickly as possible and deliver a thunderous blow to the enemy.
Otherwise, you will either be run away by the enemy, or you will be entangled by the enemy and then trapped to death.
And the importance of the integrity of the formation when charging, this is even more undoubted, harvesting the enemy's life can be overwhelming.
At this time, the non-commissioned officers of each school captain's department had already completed their formation, and each school captain's department sent 300 people, all of whom competed fairly and openly.
At this time, Wei Wuji was on a small hillside on the grassland, and a chair had been set up on it, so that he could watch the game more comfortably.
And Hu Hansan and the others stood on both sides of Wei Wuji on the left and right, everyone's hearts were thinking about things, and at the same time, they were full of expectations for the game they were waiting for.
In order to ease the atmosphere here, Wei Wuji said: "It's just a few hundred sets of armor, and now the output of armor can reach six or seven hundred pairs per month, and the others are just two or three months late in assembling!" ”
Wei Wuji didn't say this, but when he heard that it might be two or three months late, Hu Hansan and the others were even more uneasy.
Now that a big war is imminent, early equipment and early training, two or three months of time difference, the difference in combat strength will also be very large.
If you are one step behind at this time, it will be more difficult to catch up with the gap between predecessors in the future, and even make this gap bigger and bigger.
"Childe, rest assured, this time the subordinates are bound to win, and the three of them are the ones who need to be relieved the most!" Hu Hansan sneered.
As long as Wei Wuji doesn't clean him up for a long time, this guy will be crazier than anyone else, and even Wei Wuji has the urge to beat him.
The rest of Yan Qing and the others were about to go back, but they were pressed back by Wei Wuji's fierce eyes.
"If you keep arguing, when will the competition start?" Wei Wuji asked coldly, his body leaning on the chair couldn't help but straighten up a little.
Yan Qing and the others died down at this time, but the eyes that looked at Hu Hansan were even more unkind, and secretly said that they must give this guy a look at it later.
Then, with a wave of his hand, some of his guards beat the big drum that had been carried over, which also symbolized the official start of the competition.
The first to come out was Yan Qing's subordinates, which was not arranged by anyone, but decided by drawing lots by these four people.
I have to say that although it is only 300 people, the visual impact of the iron cavalry is still very great.
Neat armor, mighty knights...... Even if he didn't start charging, he came across as completely powerful at this point.
"Boom...... Rumble...... Rumble...... Boom ......"
It was the sound of horses' hooves and the clashing of armor as the cavalry began to march, and although it was only three hundred horsemen, the battle it displayed was terrifying.
Wei Wuji was even more looking forward to what it would be like if all the 4,000 people under his command had changed their costumes now.
"Sortie ......," the herald in front shouted, and the sound of war drums became more powerful and powerful.
The knights waited for this moment, and at the same time they stirred the reins, and then tightened their horses' bellies and began to charge.
More than a month of training, coupled with the pre-existing cavalry foundation, made all these actions almost a conditioned reflex.
But the real difficulty is that if you only care about increasing the speed, then it will inevitably affect the formation, and if you only care about maintaining the formation, then the speed will also be restricted.
It is precisely because of the difficulties that there is a need for a test and a test for all the soldiers.
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly became loud, and the whole earth seemed to tremble, and the cold warrior was concentrating and rushing forward at the same time.
Standing on a high place, he can better grasp the overall situation, I have to say that Yan Qing's gang is not bad, anyway, Wei Wuji is satisfied.
At full speed, the whole army is like one person, which is simply unimaginable in this era......
Of course, what is not available here is Wei Wuji's strict requirements for the past year, which is also one of the most important principles of his army building.
The rush was shocking, and Wei Wuji even stood up at this time and shouted, "Okay! ”
"Yan Qing, you did a good job...... The training has achieved remarkable results, and Ben will not be mistaken about you! Wei Wuji couldn't help but praise Yan Qing.
This makes these four people a little confused, this is not like the habit of the son in the past, it seems that he rarely praises the talent.
As a result, Yan Qing alone endured more hostility, after all, everyone is now a competitor.
But Wei Wuji didn't care about any of this, and then let the next team play, and he was most concerned about how well the other teams worked.
Time flies, a morning goes by, and the end result is ...... The effect of each part is almost the same, anyway, Wei Wuji is more satisfied.
Of course, in response to Wei Wuji's ambiguous judgment, Hu Hansan immediately asked, "Childe, what about the ironworks...... Something, the ...... How is it distributed? ”
Wei Wuji didn't answer, he smiled and then turned over on the horse, and after turning the horse's head, Wei Wuji said: "Since there is no equal, let's distribute it evenly!" ”
After saying that, without waiting for the others to react, Wei Wuji beat his horse and left, leaving behind a back that made Hu Hansan and the others look at each other.
Who would have thought that the last thing would be divided.
But at this time, no one dared to relax, because what was talking about naturalization was ability, and today it was not that this son was generous, but because everyone satisfied him, so he did not show his ruthless side.
