Chapter 124: Windfall
Archers are often a strange type of army that, in addition to cavalry, is the most lethal and does not eat much equipment.
Archers only need a bow and a bag of arrows per person, and other defensive equipment, secondary weapons, etc. are dispensable, of course, the archer can be equipped according to the financial resources of their own situation.
When Zhang Tie and the others came to the outside of the archer training ground, Jiang Jianhua was teaching the archers some taboos in using bows and arrows.
In terms of archers, only Zhang Tie and Jiang Jianhua are good at using bows and arrows in Biancheng County, and as for the others, they are just able to draw bows, which is naturally not good for teaching recruits.
And Zhang Tie was away at the time, and the task of teaching archers could only be handed over to General Jianhua.
In fact, even if Zhang Tie is here, it is impossible to stay in the stronghold all the time and teach these recruits.
"When you are practicing, you should open your bow and arrows, and the tip of the arrow should never be aimed at people, and there can be no people or possible people in the arrow path, which is a respect for the safety of others' lives."
"It's very dangerous not to walk in front of someone else when they're shooting an arrow."
Jiang Jianhua held his hands behind his back, inspected all the recruits on one side, and when he found Zhang Tie and the others, he was about to step forward, but Zhang Tie waved his hand to stop him, and waved Jiang Jianhua to continue, leaving them alone.
Seeing this, Jiang Jianhua had no choice but to continue to explain the forbidden behavior of bows and arrows to the recruits.
"Also, the ban on empty release, the consequences of empty release are very serious."
"The so-called empty release, that is, not taking the arrow or taking the arrow but accidentally falling off, the string has no force on the arrow."
Jiang Jianhua took the longbow and flicked the bowstring slightly.
"Pull the bow and release the string, the elastic potential energy stored in the elastic bow arm in the process of being bent cannot be transmitted to the arrow, and all of it acts on the bow and string, which will cause a great impact on the bow and string."
"Once it is empty, the bow and string will be broken, and the bow will be broken, and the bow and string will be broken, and it will cause injury to yourself when the bow and string are broken."
"Do not use an arrow that is too light, soft, crackable, or wounded in relation to the bow. If you use an arrow that is too light, the consequences will be equivalent to a slightly smaller amount of empty space. Arrows that are too soft twist too violently when fired, and are easily damaged if they are not accurate for shooting. ”
"If the arrow hits a hard object, such as a stone, metal, etc., even if there is no visible damage on the surface of the arrow, the fiber of the shaft may have cracked, and if it is fired again, it will burst or break, and the sharp stubble may be inserted into the hand of the archer."
"So don't shoot hard objects with arrows in practice, and be sure to carefully inspect arrows that shoot hard objects, and if you find any damaged arrows, recover them all."
Jiang Jianhua seems to have an extraordinary understanding of bows and arrows, a person who is usually taciturn, but he didn't expect to be so similar when teaching others how to use bows and arrows.
The dark face exuded a love for bows and arrows, but in the eyes of the recruits, the secret instructor in front of him was so tall.
Next, Jiang Jianhua was going to teach the recruits how to pull the bow with less effort, but at this time, Zhang Tie and the others had already begun to walk far away and go to the next location.
Now seeing that Jiang Jianhua and Wei Yan explained in such detail, Zhang Tie was also very relieved in his heart.
I believe that it won't be long before these newly enlisted sword and shield soldiers and archers will be able to go out and garrison the border to defend against foreign enemies.
On the training ground of the pikemen, a group of recruits were sweating, holding spears in their hands, and from time to time there was a burst of shouting and killing in their mouths, and the voices that Zhang Tie and others heard outside the stronghold came from here.
The spears in the hands of the pikemen are different from the spears used by the soldiers defending the city and the spears used by people, and the spears used by individuals and gatekeepers are at most more than the height of a person, that is, about two meters.
At this time, the spears in the hands of these pikemen were six meters long, 2-3 times the height of ordinary people, and the soldiers looked very short in front of this kind of spear.
The advantage of the pikeman is that the spear in his hand is light in weight, the killing distance is long, and the enemy can stab the enemy before the enemy can attack him.
Pikemen are also an effective form of arms commonly used as a restraint on cavalry.
For the production of a spear, the head and hammer must be made of metal. The barrel of the gun can be made of wood or bamboo, which is why pikemen are popular, that is, they are cheap.
If you use wood as a gun barrel, it must be hard wood, and when cutting, you must take the material along the wood grain, otherwise, the gun barrel is easy to break.
Although it is relatively lightweight, it is easy to bend because the bamboo is soft, which is not as good as the wooden barrel.
There is also a special kind of spear, which is the iron gun, and as a special gun, that is, it is made of iron, including the barrel.
The iron spear can not only stab, but also use its own weight as a heavy weapon to use, and it is extremely ferocious, and if it touches it, it will either kill or be injured.
However, due to the heavy weight of the iron spear, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to use it without considerable strength.
The gun is mainly used to attack the enemy with a straight stab, which is usually called "piercing", which is also the most basic and final technique of the gun. This technique of attacking the enemy is called "killing".
The defensive technique of shaking the barrel of the gun to make the head of the gun hover up and down, left and right, and then use it to dodge and stab the enemy gun directly is called the "leather method".
More than 200 pikemen were divided into two parts, one hundred of them were Yan Beichen in training, and more than 100 soldiers were lined up in four columns, with twenty-five people in each column.
What Yan Beichen taught was still 'zha', but on the basis of 'zha', it was arranged, a white recruit held a spear, and whenever Yan Beichen called a slogan, he would hold a spear and stab forward.
With the exception of the first row, the back rows all took advantage of their gaps to stab forward and roar at the same time.
The other 100 people were trained by a man in the leather armor of a recruit, who held a 6-meter-long spear and constantly taught how to move in front of other recruits.
More than 100 people did not practice 'piercing', but kept walking, the formation was circular for a while, and a phalanx for a while, but it seemed that many soldiers were unfamiliar with it and often made mistakes, attracting the attention of the recruit coach, and then there was a burst of explanation.
Looking at the recruit instructor in front of him, Zhang Tie was slightly stunned, this instructor was none other than the person Zhang Tie had seen outside the stronghold at noon, He Pojun with a long weapon on his back.
Listening to He Pojun's patient explanation of the soldiers who ran in the wrong position, and listening carefully to its content, it is also reasonable and well-founded, which makes people suddenly understand.
Zhang Tie couldn't help but secretly rejoice, "I didn't expect to do anything at will, I actually picked up the treasure, it's not a loss to be a child of the general's family, and I have a good hand at formation, but I don't know if I'm good at marching and fighting, if I'm doing it, then it's ......." ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie couldn't help but look forward to the person from the general's family in front of him.
Now among Zhang Tie's subordinates, there is no shortage of personal strength, although there are no first-class martial artists, but there are two strong martial arts, one is Yan Beichen, and the other is Zhang Tie himself.
Yan Beichen used to be able to leave a reputation for strong martial arts in the rivers and lakes, and he could know the strength of his martial arts, but now his physical attributes have improved again, and he is afraid that there are few enemies in his division.
And now Zhang Tie is also a humanoid beast, with a high amount of strength attributes and a bonus to strong attacks, the power emitted is already more than the power of a first-class martial artist.
Moreover, when Zhang Tie used the [Balanced Black Lacquer Bow], his combat effectiveness was even more directly explosive, and ordinary people couldn't stop Zhang Tie's arrow at all, if Zhang Tie sneaked attacked, a master like Yan Beichen might die on the spot.
The only fly in the ointment and the Achilles' heel is that pulling the [Balanced Black Lacquer Bow] is too laborious, and if he doesn't pull it once, Zhang Tie will have to slow down for a while, otherwise Zhang Tie will already be able to dominate Quanxiong in terms of personal strength.
Needless to say, there are two or three hundred people with the strength of second-rate martial artists in Zhang Tie's hands.
And as long as these people learn a little bit of martial arts, they can be an excellent military general when they come to the battlefield in the future.
Three hundred catties of pure strength, if you hold a heavy weapon, or a weapon that can give full play to the strength advantage.
The power that erupted was not a joke, on the battlefield, it was definitely a humanoid beast.
However, in the training formation of ordinary soldiers and leading the troops to fight, Zhang Tie and others are the budding newcomers in the budding, they don't understand it at all, they can only talk about it on paper, and the specific operation can only be confused.
Just like Yan Beichen, he can only give the soldiers some basic movements to practice and teach the soldiers personal martial arts.
If you ask him to arrange the drill soldiers, sorry, no.
Yan Beichen and Zhang Tie are both the kind of soldiers who charge ahead, not generals who lead the army to fight. The person who appeared in front of him just made up for Zhang Tie's current shortage of leading talents.
People often say that the generals are incompetent and tired to death, but they are not casually said and played, they are all written down by someone with blood and tears, and Ma Jian of the Three Kingdoms is a good example.
Leading the army to fight, not everyone can do it, this is not pretending to be a force, the protagonist is not a person who is born to know, Zhang Tie has not systematically learned to march and fight, in the previous life, he didn't pay much attention to military matters, only relying on some news heard from the Tao, it can only be on paper, and the specific operation will not be at all.
Looking at this man with a serious face who was teaching recruits, Zhang Tie was full of curiosity about this person who was born in a general's family, and subconsciously made a preliminary evaluation of him.
[Name: He Pojun]
[Preliminary evaluation: 43]
PS: Now you know why I'm focusing on him.
