Chapter 240: Training
In the year 201 of the Fourth Age, the 6th of the month of the Morning Star. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Half Moon Collar, on the plain west of the stronghold of the Myitescens, a huge red wave is rolling on the white snowfield. The tassels, cape, leather on the gauntlets, and the large square shield with serrated teeth on all sides were all red like blood. In this red wave, a banner with a red background and a crescent moon printed on it was particularly conspicuous, this was the first legion of the Half Moon Leader, one of the two legions under Wei Xu.
After being canonized as a lord, Wei Xu also learned about the military system in the sky. After all, it is very similar to the military system of Rome on the earth, and it is mixed with some ancient Chinese military system. Five people in a team, with a captain; Ten people and one tithe, there is a long commander; 100 people are a small team, and there is a captain, also called the team leader; Two to three squadrons form a squadron, two to three squadrons form a battalion, and the last two to three squadrons form a regiment, which is the highest rank of the military system, and the governor is in charge of all the regiments.
Now that he has been named a lord, Wei Xu's subordinates naturally can't use the chaotic establishment of the past, this kind of organization is like a robber's thing, and now that he has become an official lord, he naturally has to form his own team according to the military system.
Two corps, Wei Xu was divided into a garrison corps and a patrol corps. In the name of the garrison, the garrison corps was divided in half, half of the garrison was stationed at the mouth of the Horsgar Valley, and half of it was scattered and stationed on the various border arteries, and its main duty was to suppress bandits and prevent the invasion of surrounding territories.
This stronghold at the mouth of the Horsgar Valley was supposed to be returned to the Snowman Territory with the inclusion of Helgen Fortress in the map of the Snowman. However, Bagrove said that he wanted Wei Xu to help share the defensive pressure on the Storm Cloak, so when the border was divided, he only circled Helgen and a piece of land around it, and left the rest to Wei Xu's Half Moon Collar. Wei Xu didn't say much, and accepted it directly.
Although the territory of the Snow Man Collar has since been pierced into the hinterland of the Half Moon Collar with Helgen as the tip, he asked himself if there should be any big conflict with Baghlouf, so it doesn't matter. Besides, even if one day in the future, Baglouf suddenly wants to attack the Half Moon Leader, he is confident enough to break this place that pierces into the hinterland.
The patrol corps patrols around in the name of patrolling, and of course, there are also training. The duties of the garrison corps and the patrol corps are not fixed, and the two corps change guards once a year.
Under the unified military system, Wei Xu also designed a unified standard armor like other territories. With the support of new technology, the lightness of the armor and the degree of resistance to blows have been greatly improved. Therefore, the current half-moon army has no distinction between light and heavy armor, and all members are unified standard armor.
The commander of the First Legion was Wilcas, who had grown a lot in the battle with Phocles, and it was almost right to lead a legion of more than two thousand or three thousand men. The commander of the second legion is Kuy, and with Kuy's ability, leading a legion can be regarded as a condescending talent.
In addition to these two legions, there were garrisons in each town and village, and logistics in each legion. It can be regarded as the second echelon of the two legions, inheriting the system of survival of the fittest set by Wei Xu before.
"Raise your shield!" Wilcas shouted, and the guard with a horn next to him whined his horn.
"Drink!" As soon as the horn ended, the soldiers in the first row directly in front of them shouted angrily and raised their shields in unison. The serrations around the shield fit together perfectly, forming a sturdy shield wall.
"Advance!" Wilcas gave another order, and the guards next to him blew a short horn.
"Drink! Drink! Drink! Everyone shouted the trumpet step by step, and the continuous shield wall pressed forward with a heavy momentum. If you want to face the pressure of nearly 3,000 people, it is estimated that you need at least 5,000 troops.
"Shield array, scatter!" When the legion led by Wilcas marched a few tens of meters, he gave another order.
With this order, the guards next to him whined and blew the horn again, and this time the horn sound was very different from the previous one. With the sound of this trumpet, the warriors who had formed a shield wall dispersed again, and ten people formed a small shield formation with five shields in front of them, and the five in the back were ready to attack at any time.
"Shield, gather!" Riding on his horse and looking at his well-behaved soldiers in the distance, Wilcas grinned proudly at Wei Xu.
With this order issued, each of the clans that had been advancing in the Fish Scale Array quickly formed an encirclement with the other clans around them, and one by one they formed an encirclement with shields.
"Hey, boss...... What do you think of this? Wilcas smiled at Wei Xu as if offering a treasure. This is the result of nearly four years of training according to the plan given by Wei Xu.
Wei Xu glanced at Wilkas, and then said with some confusion: "This is the end?" ”
"yes, that's it, boss." Wilkas didn't understand what Wei Xu meant for a while, and subconsciously replied.
"What about the hundred giant three-bow bed crossbows I gave you, and the fifty movable trebuchets?" Wei Xu had the urge to knock Wilkas. Bed crossbows and metal trebuchets were among other large pieces of equipment, and because of the ingenuity of the mechanisms, it took more than four years for Ihad to build 500 bed crossbows and 200 movable trebuchets with all his might.
"Ah...... Isn't that used to siege the city......" Wilcas looked suddenly enlightened, and then said to the guards beside him: "Prepare for the giant crossbow!" ”
At the end of the guard's horn, five huge crossbow machines were launched from the crowd, the crossbows were three meters long and two meters wide, and just looking at them could feel the cold and murderous aura emanating from them.
It is impossible for manpower to wind such a crossbow machine, but fortunately, Wei Xu also let each crossbow machine be equipped with a stringing machine, and a person can also wind this big guy in a short time if he is proficient.
"Put!" Seeing that the soldiers next to the crossbow machines raised their hands to signal that the winding had been completed, Wilcas gave the order to fire.
As soon as this order came out, Wei Xu heard a sharp sound of breaking the air from a long distance, and flew towards a fast boulder as a target in the distance. Even under the influence of clairvoyance, Wei Xu didn't see the traces left by the flight of the huge point steel arrow, and when the sound reached his ears, he had already seen that most of the five arrows had already been submerged in the boulder.
"Well, that's good...... Wei Xu nodded, he was very satisfied with the drill of the First Legion, and it could be seen that they had worked hard. At least on the surface, it seems that in a few months, there should still be a blow against the dragon. (To be continued.) )
