109 Devil's Training (2)

After receiving the mission, all 3,000 people of the 13th Regiment moved, and Feida personally joined the training team with the personal guard battalion, scout wing, and long-range support wing.

Just looking at the plan, it is almost impossible to understand the pain of Koster's training method.

There's only one thing in physical training, running. Five miles in the morning, five miles before meals, five miles before bathing, and before going to bed, you can also come to a delicious five mile road. In Kerster's words, the whole thing is too much of a waste of gold coins, or it is cost-effective to run, anyway, not far to the west of the barracks is the Sunset Mountains, nothing to go to the mountains for a walk, what a comfortable thing, healthy and appetizing!

But for a group of people who run, it's not easy.

The first five-mile road was actually quite easy, most of them were farmers, domestic servants, and Kaman soldiers from Hu's background, and their physical strength was not bad, and almost no one was left behind to complete the task.

After the first round of running, there is combat skills training, and these own wing captains practice with exercises, spear stabbing skills, shield blocking techniques, and various phalanx and circle formations. Finally, the training was over, and the soldiers, who had been hungry all morning, received their order in front of the wheat bread, "the second five-mile run".

So, the 3,000 people who were holding back their hunger ran towards the Sunset Mountain Range again.

At the end of the day's training, the soldiers had the opportunity to go to the Morro River every day and take a cool shower to wash away the fatigue of the day. Of course, this benefit became a five-mile round trip to the Morro River.

Of course, you can't relax before going to bed, in the words of the brigade commander, running before going to bed will make you sleep more soundly.

So, on the first night of the training of the 13th Brigade, he fell asleep peacefully under the curse of 3,000 people, and in the dead of night, only Feida, who was an attendant, found that Caster was also tired, and all the training, their Brigade Commander of the Korth, was completed with the soldiers.

The red sun had risen, a new day had arrived, and the soldiers who had woken up from their sleep smelled the smell of meat wafting in the camp, and the Chester, the commander of their brigade, was standing in front of a huge iron pot with a large spoon, scooping the beef bones in the pot, and the smell of meat was full of worms in the stomachs of the three thousand people who had seduced them, and the gurgling stomach resounded throughout the camp.

"Would you like to drink it, an authentic Sunset Mountain yak meat soup?" asked Koster with a look of encouragement on his face.

"Yes!" replied loudly from the soldiers.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you here after five miles!" Kerst slammed the iron pot with a big spoon, "Run, run, Jon, Rober, Rickon, don't let me do it!"

So, a big ~ wave people shouted and rushed towards the sunset mountain in the west.

As it turned out, the effect of the broth was endless, and the soldiers who had been dying on the return trip yesterday rushed back to the camp today almost like a pack of hungry fire wolves, and almost none of the three thousand people were left behind, leaving only Kerst laughing on the sidelines.

Feida poked Ixter, "You know that these yaks were purchased by the duke's butler, right?"

Kster "shh ”

Feida couldn't help but be speechless for a while. Of course they didn't know that in the Kaman royal capital, Xiao Mu, the regent of Kaman, who had been busy all day, looked at the vegetable soup in the bowl and threw things angrily, "What do you mean that a yak has been robbed by someone? The place where the purchase is made is next to the camp of the new army, which thief who doesn't open his eyes dares to go over there to grab something! Ahhhhhhhhh

Of course, these things are unknown to Kerst and Feida.

After a few days of training, these soldiers gradually became familiar with the five-mile road run invented by Koster, and it was not as painful to deal with it as it was on the first day, and there were many fewer soldiers who vomited all the way on the side of the road, in fact, they didn't dare, after the first day of vomiting, Koster let each of these people who vomited take a shovel and buried all the things that vomited, and buried all the way to vomit.

Of course, the relaxed Kaman soldiers soon found that their brigade commander would not make it easy for them, and Köster soon had a new idea.

In the early morning, when the running army of 3,000 people ran into the turnaround point of the Sunset Mountains, they were surprised to find that their brigade commander, Master Koster, was actually standing next to a big tree with a huge axe, "Soldiers, new mission, cut down these trees, and then carry them back!"

Looking at the dozens of axes beside the trees, as well as the stout trees that only two people can hug, the three leading battalion commanders couldn't help but wail, "Oh my God!"

Of course, Kist didn't let them cut down trees casually, these days, Kster has been thinking about the equipment of the long-range support wing, unlike other troops, there is no strong bow and crossbow, what kind of support wing is it, or can call all the court magicians of San Jose over, of course it is unrealistic, so Kster has set his sights on those towering trees in the Sunset Mountains.

There are two kinds of trees on the continent that are known for their tall and stout, one is the "giant sequoia" that grows widely in the north of the continent, and the other is the special tree "ironwood" in the Sunset Mountains. The giant sequoia, which was used in large quantities to build the "Great Tent", a house unique to Desik, while the hemlock, because it was too heavy, was basically unexplored, and it had only one purpose, which was to mix steel to make a divine crossbow.

The Divine Crossbow, which is said to have been invented after the First Continental War, first appeared on the battlefield of the Shang League's civil war, and later underwent many improvements, and now the Divine Crossbow can provide a range of about 500 grams, and the crossbow arrows with the thickness of the forearm are devastating to ordinary targets. However, because it is not easy to wind, it is often only fixed on the city wall or the arrow towers of some castles for defensive purposes.

Of course, Kster is not going to be a crossbow, the huge power of the crossbow comes from its tough structure, and without a sufficient amount of steel, Kster has no way to make a large number of crossbows. What Chestter was trying to do was a small crossbow called a "crossbow".

Unlike ordinary crossbow arrows, the "Through-Arm Crossbow" is a powerful crossbow that needs to be wound with the feet, and its construction strength is not as strong as that of a divine crossbow, and it only needs to be glued together with ironwood. The firing range is about 100 grams.

Why are so few people using this? Because the range of the crossbow is so short. The range of an ordinary crossbow is about 150 grams, while the range of an ordinary horned bow is about 250 grams, and the longbow can reach 300 grams.

However, just because it's useless in the field doesn't mean that Kester doesn't need it either. While studying at the Royal Military Academy in San Jose, Koster once saw a note left by a senior in the large library.

The man who left the note had designed a chariot, a "tortoise iron shell" made of steel, with a small hole in front of the chariot, on which was placed a crossbow, and the cart was moved by a war horse. Because it is made of steel, the impact of this vehicle is amazing, and at the same time, it can carry the weight of a crossbow, and its attack power is also considerable.

Of course, the professor's comment on this note was an old saying, "On paper!" and Kerst thought that his idea was indeed very good, and it should have been considered for dealing with the Desik wolf cavalry. However, he was indeed too idealistic, and it was nonsense to imagine how much impact a steel chariot could have with a horse, and once the horse was killed, the chariot immediately turned into a tortoise shell, unable to move, and it was simply nonsense to deal with the Desic wolf cavalry.

However, after returning to Kaman, when he saw the mountain of ironwood, he immediately thought of the note called a joke, and he was keenly aware that this kind of chariot should not be used to deal with cavalry at all, and its greatest role was actually to cover the light infantry corps.

The original chariot was made of steel, which was too heavy, and if it was replaced with ironwood, the weight would be reduced by half, and then the horse pulling the cart would be put on iron armor, and the horse's weakness would be gone. Do not seek to kill or injure the enemy from a distance, but only to be able to protect the soldiers who charge into battle.

Moreover, the chariot can improve the mobility of the entire army, and the Kaman light infantry regiment, which lacks cavalry, can immediately turn into a fast-moving unit. And when in danger, these chariots can be used as fortresses to protect weak soldiers.

This series of ideas, in the atlas of Taolu, Kster has a vague impression, plus some of his own ideas, Kster spent a long time, and finally came up with this whole set of tactics, Kster personally named the chariot "Rush"! (Note 1)

So, the poor soldiers, who ran every day, had another important task, which was to put the cut ironwood back to the camp one by one, and according to Kester's calculations, it would take a whole month for a regiment of soldiers to accumulate enough ironwood. Now, the soldiers' nightmare began again.

With the materials for production, the only thing that is lacking is the craftsman who makes it. The Principality of Kaman is a commercial country, its forging technology is not developed, and many first-class forges have to be built by Manning, and Kist thought of Manning's Adventurer's Guild, where there are the most powerful craftsmen in the whole continent.

Returning to the house, Koster sat down at the table and lifted the quill tube, thinking for a moment, "Dear Green, hello, I'm Koster, and I recently served as the commander of the 13th Brigade of the Kaman Sixth Army, the newly organized army of the Shang League...... By the way, Green, I would like to ask you for one thing, I would like to release a new mission in the Adventurers' Guild, I need to gather ten experienced carpenters and blacksmiths, and an experienced scout officer..."

After writing the letter, Kester walked out of the house, the soldiers were carrying a huge tree, shouting the trumpet and running into the barracks, the lively scene made the soldiers of the Fourteenth Regiment next door a little strange, and the noisy Commander Clark even rode over to see the excitement.

Seeing that the soldier carrying the giant ironwood did not complain at all, Kerst felt that his work should be on the right track, and the devil training was not so devilish.

Note 1: Readers and friends who have seen this, can anyone guess what this so-called "rushing" prototype actually is?
