123. Carry
Ye Feng nodded approvingly, the horse team of the guards shook the ground, Alfred noticed Ye Feng's arrival, and he shouted:
"Defensive formation! Look ahead! ”
Alfred left the soldiers who formed a shield array defense in place, walked quickly in front of Ye Feng, and half-knelt down and gave a military salute, with a serious expression, like a veteran general on the battlefield. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You're serious about your training!"
Ye Feng praised casually.
Alfred did not smile, but said very solemnly:
"We Saxons know how to repay the favor! You Huns have accepted us and given us land, and we will fight to the death for you! ”
Ye Feng smiled indifferently and said:
"This is what the Lord has promised!"
Ye Feng waved his hand and said:
"You guys keep training, I'll just watch."
Ye Feng clearly knew that the barbarian armies in this era did not have the discipline to fight, and the violent barbarism made Rome's excellent combat discipline not exist. The Saxons, the Anglos, the Jutes, used the same unorganized and chaotic infantry tactics. From 600 to 800 A.D., no country in the Western world had the art of war degenerate to the level that of the British.
People no longer know what strategy and discipline are, and the so-called tactics are probably the parallel arrangement of soldiers without discipline and sequence, followed by a scuffle, like a rural fight, until the other side is beaten to the ground.
The defense of the infantry was only simple wooden fences and rudimentary trenches, the armor was minimal and of poor quality, and in England the infantry maintained superiority simply because their enemies did not have strong cavalry, nothing more.
Ye Feng has always been an admirer of discipline, whether it is ancient or modern, an army must have strong discipline, otherwise it will be a group of rabble, no matter how strong it is, there will always be a day when it will die. Of course, if all the enemies around you are undisciplined, then...
After a period of time in Western Europe, the Franks fought with the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and Lombards, and gradually understood the importance of heavy cavalry, and the proportion of cavalry gradually increased.
So even if it was a barbarian army, Ye Feng asked them to keep training and discipline.
Alfred was a veteran and lion on the battlefield who had traveled to Rome and understood the importance of discipline.
The barbarian class was generally aristocracy, gentry, peasants or freedmen, and then serfs or slaves.
Of course, the number of slaves was small, and the armies of the barbarians were dominated by freedmen.
After Ye Feng visited Alfred's training, he then checked the training of Allen and Brandon, who were both good battlefield training officers.
As for the battle strategy of the Hun cavalry, Ye Feng is no longer familiar with it, they almost don't need training, because the hard life of the grassland is the best training, and those who can survive the hard life of the grassland are the strong.
The Huns most often used "feints" in the offensive, which is common to almost all nomadic peoples. When encountering an enemy, it rains down on the enemy with a dense rain of arrows like locusts, and then attacks desperately. Then a swift retreat was followed by an onslaught.
Just when the enemy thought that the nomadic army had retreated, after a few hours or days, a heavier attack and a heavier rain of arrows followed, and so on until the entire farming army was annihilated.
The few survivors cloaked the nomadic army in a cloak of mystery, and the number of nomadic armies described is incalculable, but when the nomads were assimilated, they lost their horseback skills and they were gradually weakened.
But the Sacred Texts guarantee that devout believers will never turn their backs on their ancestors.
More and more believers are learning the art of horseback riding, because believers on horseback are the best believers.
Although the First Saxon Army is an auxiliary legion, it still has a cavalry team of 100 people, all of which are good phenomena in Ye Feng's eyes, which means that he does not only rely on the Huns, a larger empire needs more people to build, but with the population of the Huns, it is impossible to control so much land and population.
At the same time, Valentinian, the emperor of the Western Roman Empire, wore a golden olive laurel wreath on his head, symbolizing the emperor's power, glory and glory, in his luxurious palace.
A red silk robe draped over Valentini's body in the form of a "toga".
As the emperor of Western Rome, Valentini was undoubtedly tragic and suspicious, the identity of the emperor did not bring him the glory and glory of the emperor, and he longed to conquer the barbarians like Caesar! But reality gave him a merciless blow.
"My Majesty Caesar! What are the commands? ”
The Captain of the Royal Praetorian Guard said:
Valentini turned his back, and a deep voice rang out:
"I've heard that Attila's victory was due to the Sword of the God of War! And the Huns, who have recently been wandering in the Northlands, sell this weapon, and bring it into my hands, remember, secretly! ”
The Captain of the Imperial Guard nodded and withdrew from the Emperor's bedchamber.
And Ye Feng was busy in the craftsman camp, and he saw that the time for sowing seeds was coming. How to speed up the sowing speed has become a difficult problem, but Ye Feng has a solution.
The columb, an agricultural tool that was only owned in the West after the 16th century.
In the West, before the use of strip seeders, they were sown by hand, which was a great waste, as it was often necessary to sow half of the millet harvested that year. Until the advent of the cocoon in the 2nd century. It is recorded in the Treatise:
"The oxen pulls three ploughshares, which are operated by one person, dripping the seeds, and holding the strip planter at the same time, so that 667 acres can be sown in one day!"
Ye Feng thought that this was an excellent method of sowing, which could greatly speed up the process of sowing, and with the help of craftsmen, he finally got the first columbone out after a few days of tinkering.
Ye Feng decided to let the cocoon go down to the field to give it a try on the same day, and under the watchful eyes of the nobles and farmers, the cocoon began to sow seeds at an extremely fast and uniform speed.
All cheered.
"Oooooooooo!!oo
The farmers took off their hats to pay tribute to the cocoon, which also raised Ye Feng's prestige to a new level, and each of his inventions brought about an increase in productivity.
Ye Feng returned home exhausted, and his muscles and bones were a little sore after a day's fatigue. Hillary stood at the door, looking at Ye Feng who was riding a horse home, Ye Feng dismounted, and said without a straight face:
"What? Wait for me! ”
Hilary giggled as if she had heard the best joke in the world.
"Hmm!"
Hillary said.
