Chapter 165: New Weapons

However, the spear did not solve the problem that the long handle was too long to exert the power of the puncture, and Kira Yoshitoki decided to shorten the length of the gun to 2.7 meters, and the shortening of the length of the gun did not reduce the power of the stab, on the contrary, it could also greatly improve the effectiveness of the spear, and the spear of this length could be used in one hand, and it also retained the basic attributes of the anti-cavalry, and there was no problem with the wisteria shield to block the whipping of the long handle.

Then there was the drill, the warrior repeatedly practiced for half a month before gradually adapting to the combat method of the gun and shield, a spear and a half is longer than the ordinary large body gun, and much shorter than the three guns made of cork, the body of the gun is made of hardwood to make it more conducive to stabbing attacks, Kira Yoshitoki has always believed that the spear that cannot stab the enemy to death has no meaning.

In a new round of small competition in early May, the four teams of trained horse warriors respectively held sword shields, spear shields, hammer shields, axe shields and Saijo Bei's elite ashigaru against each other, but the result was a one-sided victory, Saijo Bei did not expect this weapon to have such a fierce assault power, and was defeated for a while, many people encountered such a bizarre way of using weapons for the first time, and the original confrontation method was completely useless against this new weapon, which made the ashigaru feel unconvinced.

They think that this kind of wood can't explain anything, I use wooden knives and sticks, of course you use wooden shields to take advantage, but in the following demonstration, these people quickly shut their mouths, the powerful destructive power of maces and one-handed battle axes surprised them, and the destructive power is enough, but the sword and shield soldiers and axe shield soldiers are good at cutting off the long-handled gun shaft and then chopping it at close range, which is almost insoluble for Ashigaru.

There's also a very nasty thing like a Fujiki shield, and the ashigaru can't do anything with this kind of shield at all, no matter how sophisticated the gunashigami are, these horse-backed samurai can always find a gap for long-handled attacks, and even many horse-back samurai frequently use the technique of blocking assaults, and once they let them attack in close quarters, it will evolve into a one-sided slaughter.

The rattan shield is an important part of the construction of the new army in Kira Yoshishi, it is made of a whole piece of hardwood, and then wrapped in a shield repeatedly wrapped with rattan, and finally after the process of repeatedly applying tung oil to the sun, it is finally made into a rattan shield, the shield is nearly one meter long, weighs twelve catties, and can easily protect the upper torso, of course, it is disgusted by the ashigaru, compared to the thin wooden planks such as bamboo bundles and foot shields that are not suitable for carrying, it is obvious that this rattan shield is more powerful and more practical.

But a new theme appeared, the three guns because they were too long to attack and could not hold the shield, the original three long gun handle was the best means of defense, but after being broken through by the shield soldiers, it became the biggest burden, and finally Mikawa and Omi were very tacitly agreed to give up the bulky three guns, and uniformly switched to new weapons.

There was a new disagreement about what weapons to use, most of the Mikawa candidates chose to use spear shields, they were trained to use guns from an early age, this new spear of one and a half lengths was just right for their appetite, and after wearing a shield, they only needed to strengthen the defense of their lower limbs, and they could improve their defense to a level comparable to that of a high-ranking samurai wearing a good defense in the world.

Omi Bei and a small number of Mikawa Bei were also shocked by the other three weapons, and the scimitar, which has a larger arc than the katana, also seems to have good attack power during the experiment, but almost everyone is not very optimistic about him, the steel knife is too expensive to build and it is easy to curl the blade in the battle formation, but it is not the best choice.

And it coincides with the role of the katana.,At most, it can only be used as a server.,It's the least favored combination.,Originally, some guys who wanted to use this combination were persuaded by their companions to give up the attempt.。

The other two weapons have caused controversy, whether to use the tomahawk or the mace, although the tomahawk lacks armor-piercing power but can easily break through the gun formation, and the mace seems to only show combat effectiveness when fighting against the samurai on horseback and the samurai of the flag, so almost everyone chooses the tomahawk.

"What's going on? Why did their choice be different from what the family expected? Seeing this unexpected result, Kira Yoshitoki felt incomprehensible.

He always thought that taking out these four combinations would shock everyone, and he didn't dare to say that the tiger body would bow down as soon as he shook his head, at least he had to be happy if he was rejoicing, but it was obvious that these seasoned standing ashigaru were all experienced old oilers, and he could see at a glance that the practicality of the sword and shield was far less than imagined, especially when the katana was easy to curl the blade when cutting the armor, and when chopping the armored enemy, the blade was very easy to be embedded in the armor and could not be pulled out.

Famous knives can easily cut through armor, but this kind of knife can only be equipped with a daimyo like Kira Yoshitoki, or a sword hero like Nakajo Tokihide, and ordinary samurai can't avoid the embarrassing problem of blade embedding and armor that can't be pulled out, and the problem that can't be solved by a katana, of course, this cheap scimitar can't be solved, so it was the first to be abandoned.

The failure of the mace made Kira Yoshishi suffer some blows, and the reasons they gave were also very realistic, Japan is basically a light armor unit, there are not many armor units that need to break the armor, and most of them are light armor of bamboo and wood structure except for the horse samurai and horse samurai, which can be done with a thick battle axe, and the hammer handle of the mace is too short, far from being as easy to use as imagined, and the mace is a little redundant.

Since some people say that the mace is too short, then he ordered the design of a new type of mace staff, this weapon has a 1.2 meters long hardwood handle, which is equipped with a cast iron nail spike hammer head, and the other side is a sharp awl for armor piercing, the whole weapon is only ten pounds heavy, completely without the huge weight of the legendary war hammer, on the contrary, it is particularly light and compact, there are two kinds of hammer series, long and short,

In desperation, Kira Yoshitoki had to put away the scimitar and mace, and the mace and scimitar were arranged as secondary weapons of ashigaru, although only half of the success was not completed, but this military equipment reform still played an important role, and he also improved the weapons of the horse warriors by the way, and the previous cavalry short spear was lengthened into a cavalry spear, and was equipped with a scimitar, a heavy vine bow, and other secondary weapons according to personal preference.

New weapons were distributed, among which the samurai on horseback were organized into cavalry, and the samurai began to train with the new weapons, and their new training subjects began with the most basic horse chopping scarecrows, with thirty horsemen as a group, and at the same time assaulted and chopping hundreds of scarecrows set up on a long gallop road, and it took less than a month to master the skill of chopping scarecrows.

Of course, they were still far from being able to slash a date hanging in the air when Mamluk rode his horse at a gallop, but this result had already surprised Kira Yoshitoki, and then he ordered to increase the difficulty of the training, increasing the number of scarecrows on the gallop several times, and at the same time setting up a wooden stake every 15 meters on the galloping road, and a row of scarecrows on the left and right sides between the two wooden stakes, and the training requirement was to let them spare the scarecrows on the left and right to chop the scarecrows along the road.

This is to train them in horse control skills and the level of spear and knife skills, which requires a high level of coordination and skilled horse skills, which is a great challenge for them, which brings them a lot of trouble.

PS: Many people think this is too exaggerated! Isn't it rampant to directly equip 10,000 people if you play like this? Actually, no, Japan has a serious iron shortage, and this kind of equipment is not for everyone.

In addition, the most important point is that without the military system of the Kira family, it is impossible to play this with the military service system gathered by a group of vassals, not to mention that this kind of equipment requires a high degree of training and discipline to play.

How many elites is the Kira family? If it is really large-scale equipment, the economy will definitely not be able to bear it (the equipment damage rate on the battlefield is very high), and there are not so many elites to equip it.

You must know that the result of a well-equipped Mamluk is not at all comparable to that of a farmer who has only experienced twenty days of poor military training.

To Mamluk was a killing machine, and to the farmer it was likely that the unlucky guy was caught up and killed by the enemy as he fled because of his heavy armor.
