Short vacation 9
Miranda was calm, in addition to cooking in the cafeteria during this time in the monastery, he was the one who dealt with me the most.
"Albert, it looks like the one you're looking for has more than one surprise for us!"
"Huh?"
Mirada and Albert looked at the priest suspiciously.
"Listen carefully!"
Father Montor pointed to his ear, then out the window.
Albert straightened his ears and stretched his neck out the window. Indeed, there was a faint shout in the wind that only training would come from.
This is not surprising, since 300 heavy armor soldiers were stationed in front. Routine training is a normal thing.
However, the rocks under the window protrude to the barracks in front, and the difference between the two is almost a hundred meters.
There was a bottomless deep stream in the middle, and Albert was very curious about what kind of person the girl who could reach the other side from here. Although it was documented, he did not think that this was something that a little girl could do.
Only Miranda is accustomed to this.
......
This is the former monastery, the patrol infantry camp.
I only recently discovered that there was a simple training ground in the camp, because I had nothing to do when I was full, so climbing the wall and walking on the tiles became my daily exercise method until I found this training ground.
On the training ground of the camp, there are three or four rows of weapon racks. Of course, most of the equipment on it is used for practice, and commanders with a little common sense know that actual combat weapons cannot be placed outside.
Because of my rank, the soldiers stationed there did not stop me from wandering around the camp. (Flower arrangement: As long as you don't break into the barracks, a fool will provoke a warrant officer.) )
After walking around the weapon rack for a long time, I didn't find the two-handed giant sword I was looking for, but I turned out a knight's spear for practice.
I picked it up, checked it, tried the amount, and it felt okay. Although it is a pure wooden spear for practice, it is also many times heavier than the one-handed sword used by the infantry.
Think of the masked man I encountered on the battlefield before, and the greatsword he used was completely overwhelming me with power. That force almost knocked out my arms in a few flashes.
"Let's make do with it first!"
Because almost no one here comes except for the soldiers who train in rotation. For such outward tasks, the commander also does not place too much emphasis on the daily training of soldiers. (It's essentially paid leave, but the difference is that freedom is restricted.) )
However, my actions after that still shocked the males.
Imagine that a standard knight's gun is about three meters. The training is 2.5 meters, and it's only a lot more. Because it is deliberately close to actual combat, the gun head used for training is magnified and weighted. (Flower arrangement: A man of 1.3 meters holds a spear twice his body as a giant sword, that is a sight !!)
"Hey, hey, hey, what's fake, look!"
"Roar, come on, come and see!"
Someone watched intently, patting the person around him, regardless of who that person was.
"That's the spear of the heavy cavalry!"
"What is she going to do?"
The person who was slapped did not seem to feel the pain of being slapped at all.
I took a turn around the training ground, and then stopped on a relatively large open space, and looked left and right.
"That's it!"
Close your eyes and try to remember everything you learned about the greatsword at the proving ground. Then, squat and take a position. The next action almost shocked the jaws of everyone present!
Taking a deep breath, "Ha!" With a shout, he made the first swing as he held the wooden knight's spear as a greatsword in both hands.
Feel the dynamics, adjust, then the second time, adjust again. Slashing again, it still doesn't feel right, in adjustment, the fourth time...... ,
(Hanabaya: It's only a person like Anna who suddenly has a brain twitch that thinks of this method!, thinking about it later, it was really not an ordinary "two" at that time.) )
ps: The cavalry gun generally refers to the horse battle weapon commonly used by knights and cavalry in ancient Europe. In actual combat, the user drives the mount to charge at the enemy, pointing the mounted gun horizontally or nearly horizontally at the enemy when approaching, and using the charge bonus to assassinate the enemy.
The specifications of the actual combat cavalry gun are relatively fixed, generally a sharp metal cone is installed on the long rod head of about two meters, and the hardwood gun body has a handguard in the holding position, and a wooden cone with a counterweight at the rear.
Riding guns are basically used as disposable weapons, because after a single impact, the riding gun will almost inevitably break and cannot be used again, and an overly strong riding gun will cause unnecessary burden on the user's grip and even body. (Note: There is a difference between a mounted rifle in actual combat and a mounted rifle in a purely competitive nature, the latter tends to deliberately reduce its lethality and is easier to break to reduce casualties in the competition.) )
And here it is mentioned that the Imperial hoplites used a cavalry gun of three meters for assault due to their mounts. When used, the back half of the spear is half-fixed to the mount, and when attacking, it resembles a unicorn.
