When the two returned to Crescent Island, they found that those barbarian soldiers were undergoing another important training, that is, psychological stress training. Dozens of long-shield cavalry www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion were rushing at full speed towards the barbarian soldiers lined up on the opposite side in a charging formation.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry definitely belongs to an ace class, and it is a great test for any soldier to let a group of infantry continue to hold their positions in the face of a group of cavalry charges. However, as the barbarian soldiers of the phalanx pikemen, the enemy who most likely needs to deal with in the future is the cavalry, after all, the restraint of the spearmen against the cavalry is a well-known thing. That's why Shi Jinshui specially formulated such a special training for these barbarian soldiers.

Although the long shield cavalry can only be regarded as a kind of medium-mounted cavalry, the power of charging up is also extraordinary, so when the captain shield cavalry rushed to more than fifty meters away from the queue, several barbarian soldiers fled the queue without authorization because they could not bear the pressure. As the shield riders got closer and closer, so did the fleeing soldiers, and when they finally rushed less than two meters away from the front-row soldiers, the skilled riders pulled the reins and stopped their horses. The gravel and dirt from the horse's hooves even hit the barbarian soldiers on the other side in the face.

Shi Jinshui counted on the side and found that among the more than 500 soldiers, only more than 80 escaped, and the others stuck to their places and carried through this round of training. This is not only because the barbarian soldiers are indeed more nervous, but also because they know that these cavalry will not really rush over. However, this result has already made Shi Jinshui very satisfied, as long as he exercises like this a few more times, when these soldiers get used to the charge of the war horses, and after encountering the enemy cavalry on the battlefield, they will definitely be much calmer.

"You rice buckets, what are you running! Will our own cavalry really run into me, and if they don't make anything, they will all be locked up in a small black room for me, and they will not be allowed to eat dinner!" Under Obama's reprimand, the more than 80 soldiers who failed to carry this round of training were immediately taken down by several veterans.

Since they had never heard of such a thing as a small black house, these barbarian soldiers were still full of indifference on their faces when they were taken down, and in their minds, this punishment was neither beating nor scolding, but just being locked up in a small room, what did it matter! That's just the right time to be lazy!

Shi Jinshui saw this scene on the side, and couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart: Hehe! After you've been in the little dark room for a few days, we'll see if you're still the same as if you don't care.

As a modern person, Shi Jinshui naturally knows the horror of the little black house, even those modern agents with remote psychological quality, once they are locked up in this small black house, they will definitely not last a week. I'm afraid that ordinary people will collapse in less than a day. This is also normal, after all, man is a social animal, it needs to communicate with the same kind, the cramped, claustrophobic, dark environment of the small black house, is what human beings hate the most, which can be seen from the fact that some people in humans will suffer from claustrophobia.

"Your Excellency, you're finally back!" At this time, the cavalry captain Redek also happened to see Shi Jinshui on the sidelines, and immediately instigated the war horse to rush over, and said to him with an angry face: "My lord, you must be the master for us!" That guy is too much, we have a war horse here that died of illness yesterday, and it turned out that the guy of Ao Hachima actually took the initiative to say that he was going to stew that war horse. ”

"Redek, what's wrong with that? Since the horse is dead, it should be wasted, and after it is stewed, it can be used to replenish the body of the adult. At this time, Ohama immediately followed, and after hearing Redek's complaint, he opened his mouth to defend himself.

After Shi Jinshui listened to the words of the two, he first comforted the cavalry captain with a smile, and then explained to Ao Bama: "Ao Bama, your intentions are good, but I don't dare to accept this kindness." Don't you know, this war horse is the closest partner and comrade-in-arms on the battlefield for cavalry, have you ever heard of anyone who will eat the meat of their comrades? So, this time you really did something wrong, but you don't know the rules, and I don't blame you, but you have to pay attention in the future and don't do it again! ”

After listening to his master's explanation, Ohama suddenly realized, and at the same time couldn't help but secretly thank the other party for sparing him this time, for his position in this group, he is very self-aware, compared with the cavalry captain Redek, he is simply a dispensable figure, if he encounters a stern master, in the case of him committing such a big mistake, it is possible to directly kill him and relieve the anger of his officers.

"Redek! How, after changing into the stirrup and my improved saddle, does the war horse feel more comfortable in handling? After signaling Ao Bama to retreat with his eyes, Shi Jinshui asked the cavalry captain with a smile.

"My lord, you are really a genius, these horse harnesses you have improved have directly more than doubled the combat effectiveness of the cavalry! Equipped with the stirrup and saddle you invented, I can confidently say that our warriors will not have a problem dealing with three enemies at a time. Even the horseshoe and the compound bow you told us about that horse are not yet ready. ”

"Don't worry, now that we've found the iron mine, the horseshoe will be there soon, and as for the compound bow, it's really time-consuming to make, so don't be in a hurry, you can practice with a repeater now!" Wait until the compound bow is ready. Shi Jinshui spoke, but he couldn't help but recall that when he used to play the game of horse riding and slashing, he held a riding bow and rode a war horse, and easily singled out dozens of enemies. In the era of cold weapons, the archers are indeed a very inexplicable existence, they have a sharp long-range attack means, but also have high mobility that comes and goes like the wind, if you don't care about him, he will give you a wave of arrow rain when you don't pay attention, shooting you painfully, but if you want to chase him, it is difficult to catch up with the other party. The Mongols used this type of army best in history, and the Mongols relied on the huge number of cavalry archers to exhaust their enemies before the decisive battle, and then used heavy cavalry to easily defeat those enemies who did not have much combat effectiveness.

The reason why the Mongolian archers are so powerful is not only because of the excellent cavalry and archery skills of the Mongolian cavalry, but also because of the excellent performance of the compound bow they use.

Different from the European longbow that pursues range and accuracy, the short compound bow used by the Mongols on horses is a riding bow that pursues the rate of fire, and its shooting method is completely different from the European longbow, the general European archers are using the Mediterranean style of shooting, such as those Cretan archers under Shi Jinshui's current hands, which are masters of using this kind of shooting, and the rain of arrows they shoot is not only long-range, but also powerful like a storm, which can give the enemy great damage, not just harassment. The Mongolian horsemen who use the Mongolian style of archery, although the rain of arrows they shoot are not as strong as the longbowmen, but their super high mobility allows them to slowly find the enemy's weak points as they wander, and then deliver a fatal blow with precision.

Now that Shi Jin's sailors already have a powerful infantry archer, the Cretan archers, then he naturally will not forget this equally powerful archer. What makes him feel the most difficult now is that the production process of compound bows is extremely cumbersome, and it will never be possible to make them in a few years. However, none of these procedures can be saved, so he can only let his subordinates practice with a repeater first. In terms of rate of fire, the crossbow can be said to be slightly better than the compound bow, but because the crossbow arrow of the repeater has no arrow feathers, the stability of the flight is very poor, once the distance is farther, there is no accuracy at all, and once it is too close, it is extremely dangerous for the weakly armored archers.

After talking to Redek, Shi Jinshui went to Hannibal to ask if he had found a suitable place at the air base. As a result, the answer was that I had not been able to find a suitable place, and the places that had been screened so far were either unsuitable for the terrain or not hidden enough. For this matter, Hannibal remembers that he is almost on fire these days. Seeing this, Shi Jinshui could only comfort the other party not to worry, take his time, and finally find a suitable place.

After learning about the situation of the three armies under his command, Shi Jinshui could finally return to his temporary wooden house and rest well.

Early the next morning, as soon as he got up, he faintly heard bursts of crying, and he had expected it to go out for a turn, and found that the source of the cry was indeed the barbarian soldiers who were imprisoned in the small black house yesterday. These hapless people were now thinking of their companions telling them about the horrors of the little dark room. And those barbarian soldiers who have not yet experienced it firsthand, listening to the narration of their comrades-in-arms, do not believe it in their hearts, and even suspect that their teammates are deliberately acting on them at the behest of those commanders, so that they can feel afraid of the little black house and train more diligently in the future.
