The new stronghold at the north gate, with Zhang Shun and his party entering the stronghold, it means that the conscription officially begins.

Without superfluous gossip, the whole conscription began naturally.

At the only entrance to the stronghold, two scribes sat in chairs, and in front of them were desks, on which of course were rosters to record the details of the soldiers.

The scribe picked up the brush and asked the young man in front of him, "Name." ”

"Wansan."

"Where?"

"Within the border county."

"Age?"

"19 years old."

"Show me your household registration and check your identity."

Wan San seemed to have been prepared, and directly handed over his household registration to the scribe in front of him to check.

Not everyone can be a soldier casually, you must have this identity certificate, otherwise it is only up to the soldiers themselves to tell their origins, even if there will be big problems.

This regulation has lasted from hundreds of years ago to today, and now those who want to participate in the recruitment naturally bring their own identity certificates, that is, household registration.

The scribe first checked it, then wrote down the details of Mansan on the roster, and finally dated it.

After writing down the details of Wan San, the scribe pointed to the camp tent behind him, and said to Wan San: "Go in, get the silver taels and equipment, and someone inside will arrange for you." ”

Wan San followed the fence and entered the tent behind the scribe, and Wei Yan, who was wearing a cyan suit, and more than ten people sat in the camp tent.

More than a dozen boxes are placed in the middle according to a certain rule, and the equipment placed in them are all the equipment of the recruits, which Zhang Shun and others personally put here today, all of which are the equipment obtained by the captured bandits, but they are all unified, leather armor, leather boots, iron knives, round wooden shields and spears, and there is an independent box on the side, which contains sixty longbows.

As soon as Wan San entered the camp tent, Wei Yan, who was sitting on a chair, nodded to him, "You wait next to you first, and I will arrange it for you after ten people are full." ”

Hearing this, Wan San nodded, stood aside silently, quietly waiting for the others, and looked at Wei Yan and the others sitting in the chair from time to time, "Are these the Tsing Yi Army?" It's really strange to dress, it's completely different from other soldiers, it's not leather armor. ”

There seemed to be a lot of civilians who responded to the recruitment this time, and after a while, nine more people came in, and when everyone came in, Wei Yan would say the same thing, that is, wait for ten people.

Wei Yan and a person who was also wearing a cyan suit came to the box in the middle of the tent, beckoned to Wan San and the other ten people, and said, "Okay, come to me." ”

Hearing this, Wan San and the others stepped forward one by one and stood in front of Wei Yan and the others.

Wei Yan and the other person first distributed leather armor and other equipment to Wan San and the others, and they all fit in general.

Equipment such as armor is generally forged more widely, so many people can use it generally, but if it is the equipment obtained after being recruited by Zhang Tie, it is very suitable.

After the equipment was issued, the next step was naturally to issue weapons, but Wei Yan was not in a hurry to distribute the equipment, but asked Wan San and the others: "What kind of soldiers do you all want to be, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, or archers." ”

When Wei Yan asked, his face was very serious, and he looked at Wan San and the others with a pair of big eyes.

The tent was quiet for a while, Wan San and the others were holding their breath, only the sound of the pounding heartbeat proved that Wan San and the others were not at peace in their hearts, obviously they also knew that this was related to their future direction.

Manzo's gaze swept over the iron sword, spear, and bow, and finally, his gaze fell on the longbow, he knew that this class was the safest, but sometimes the most dangerous, but he chose it because it was his faith.

As a long-range class, the mission of archers on the battlefield is to shoot a few waves before the battle, and then hide behind other soldiers, find the right opportunity, and shoot another wave, which is a sharp weapon on the ancient battlefield.

But because of this, archers are the most likely to attract enemy fire attacks on the battlefield, which is why archers are sometimes the most casualties.

Pikemen are an indispensable part of the army in the Cold Weapon Age, and it is versatile, not only against infantry, but also better against cavalry.

Moreover, the process of the spear is simple and cost-effective, it does not require too much expensive metal to make a spear, and the cheap price allows it to equip troops in large quantities.

What's more, pikemen are highly lethal, stabbing and slashing, and the lethality of assassination is far greater than that of slashing.

When the opponent has armor, the spear can be used better than other weapons, whether the opponent is leather armor, chain mail or plate armor, the spear can easily penetrate the opponent's armor (relatively speaking, it is not really easy).

The weakness of the pikemen is also very obvious, the pikemen belong to the infantry, and they fight in a phalanx, and they move slowly, and the flexible and mobile archers are a huge threat to the pikemen, and if the marching pikemen are entangled by the archers, they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Sword and shield soldiers, one-handed swords and shields, are mainly used in melee combat, and are the strongest front shield in the infantry, usually as a charge and cover archer for shooting.

Swords and shields can effectively avoid damage from crossbowmen's fire, thus reducing losses from ranged enemy attacks.

However, the protection effect of heavy throwing weapons such as javelins, throwing axes, and halberds is not very good, and the shield is easy to be damaged.

"I choose the longbow."

"I choose a sword and shield."

"I choose the spear."

......

Except for Wan San, there was another person who, like him, chose the longbow, and most of the others chose the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen.

Of the ten, five were sword and shield men, three pikemen, and two archers.

As for why there are the most sword and shield soldiers, it is naturally because the sword and shield soldiers have shields, in this area close to the steppe, the most enemies are still the Mongols, and the Mongolians are best at riding and shooting, and having a shield in hand will make people feel much more at ease.

This is not to say that pikemen and archers cannot carry shields, as they can carry shields at any time if they wish.

Pikemen can carry a shield on their backs and can be used at any time.

And the archers, it is even more special, in addition to bows and arrows, they also have melee weapons, and it is completely possible to choose a small shield on this set of secondary weapons.

It's just that in terms of the choice of shields, a good shield is naturally given priority to the sword and shield soldiers in front, and the archers and pikemen can only choose the rest.

According to everyone's choice, Wei Yan issued different weapons to these ten people, as for the fear that the archers would not be able to use them due to their small strength, or that the archers had not touched the bow and arrows at all, and the shooting was not accurate.

These are no longer worried, now as long as the troops are divided, Zhang Shun will give him blessings at that time, and he will have the strength or something.

As for the accuracy of the archer, after having the strength, he can naturally practice more, and on the battlefield, accuracy is often not particularly important, and when he upgrades in the future, Zhang Tie can upgrade the class according to the current situation, and the proficiency of the archers will naturally go up at that time.

"Very good, since you have chosen the equipment in your hands, you will have to practice hard in the future, and it will depend on you to defend against the enemy."

Wei Yan nodded with satisfaction at Wan San and the others, and then said to the people behind him: "Ren Kangcheng, Fan Leshan, Lu Jinxin, the three of you take them to their respective camps respectively, and then come back." ”

"Yes!"
