Chapter 226: Tips for Protecting Your Head When Attacking with a Spear
The words of the Guards Knight made all the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers whisper in disbelief: you must know that they have received a special model of the Charrell helmet for the Rangers, although they do not have the large neck guard plate accessories with jaw guards in the Teutonic Gothic plate armor, but in order to ensure the protection of the jaw and neck and keep warm, they wear a double-layer mask composed of cotton armor and heavy chain mail according to the dress code provided by the Guard Knight, with a Charrell helmet made of stainless steel, it can be said that in addition to the same type of helmet of the Teutonic Gothic plate armorAside from the helmets of the barrel helmet and other models of plate armor, there is really no other helmet that can compare to it in terms of defense.
Is this the same helmet that suits the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, who require heavy equipment and at the same time have flexibility, only to be told by the Guards Knight that they can't fully protect their heads?
Although the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers reacted quite strongly, they fell silent when the Guards knights spoke again: "In the first spare time when you were asked to practice marching and formation training, some of you have learned some tricks from us that can skillfully deflect attacks against shields to the side, especially when using weapons such as spears or lances against the enemy. As long as you deflect your shield at just the right angle, your opponent's attacks won't even hurt you at all, but one thing is that no one will use their shield to block their head. Therefore, experienced horsemen and knights were especially fond of attacking the enemy's head with their spears and spears, so that even if they were not able to poke their opponents through them, the spear tips and spear tips would break apart and fly in all directions after being hit hard enough to pierce the unfortunate fellow's eyes. ”
When the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers felt their eyes seem a little uncomfortable, the Guard Knight cleared his throat, "See? The eyes will be exposed. "If your opponent's attack is aimed at your head, then you should also attack him, so that your spears will hit each other almost at the same time." At this point, if you lean forward a bit. Not only can you hit the opponent earlier, but you can also protect part of your head behind the shield - so that even if the opponent can hit you, you will only slide past the shield or helmet. ”
Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, the Guards Knight nodded with satisfaction, and finally came to a conclusion: "This training method is used by our predecessors in the cavalry units, and you are also using it now, and the cavalry units in the future will continue to use it in this way." And what you have to do is to train seriously - it's okay to be tired and hard now, a hearty meal and plenty of rest will help you recover, and you will find out when you get to the real battlefield. Any skill you learn and are familiar with now could have saved your life. ”
"But Knight, why did you hit the target in your previous demonstration and then bend your head forward?" asked one of the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers.
"The reason is simple, because I am simply fearless, and only the bravest knights dare to look their opponents in the eye at the last moment to ensure that their weapons will hit them accurately. The knight of the Guard looked at the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers through the peephole of his barrel helmet. Then he said in a tone of pity, "I showed you that there are many times when you need to make such a move, but for me and all the knights of the guard. This is not needed at all. ”
The Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers looked at the Guard Knight and his fellow knights with reverence, and Von Longde, who was watching all this from afar, was noncommittal: these Guard Knights dared to do so because they were the Black Knights of the Dead and did not care much about danger, and they wore barrel helmets made of stainless steel, even if they were hit in the head by the spears or spears of the enemy cavalry, the fragments would not matter if they blinded their eyes. As long as it does not damage the soul fire in their heads, any injuries on their bodies can be repaired and regenerated by activating fluids and muscle-building rejuvenation, but the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, who are ordinary humans. If they don't master the skills needed to hedge their cavalry, they will definitely die a thorough death.
Feng Longde could think of this, and naturally the other Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers who also knew that their instructor was a deceased were also aware of it, so the vast majority of the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers decided that it was better to be honest and bow their heads and bend down according to the standards of training. Won't be fooled by the words of the Knights of the Guard.
Soon the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers cheered up and continued to train one by one, and of course, there were a few hot-headed men who were carried away by the words of the Guards Knight, and rode straight on their horses as the Guards Knights did, and then were knocked off their horses by the large pockets that spun quickly.
While the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers were in full swing to continue their training, Feng Longde came over on an undead horse and waved his right hand to greet the knights: "Good morning, several." ”
"Your Majesty. Several knights of the guards bowed slightly on their respective horses after seeing Feng Longde, and at the same time gave a Teutonic military salute, "What are your orders?"
"No, I've just rested enough at Fort Headquarters, and I'm going to come over to do activities to save myself from being uncomfortable and panicking. Feng Longde replied as he clamped his horse's belly between his legs, allowing the undead horses to stop firmly in front of the Guards Knights, "How are these Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers training?
"It's okay, they're all quite honest, they can't say they work hard, but they won't cause trouble either. The knight of the Guard, who had lectured the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, replied, gesturing at the recruits who were lining up to train in turns, "Only half of this group of recruits are Germanic residents, most of the rest are residents of Russian, Polish, Hungarian, French, and many European nationalities, and the very few remaining recruits are of Chinese and Japanese origin. There are few Chinese and Japanese people who can ride horses here, and they generally don't like riskier jobs, so we can't find many good seedlings from these two groups. Nine times out of ten, those who find it don't want to participate, and we don't want to force it. ”
"So many different nationalities?" Feng Longde was a little surprised, when he took Yarman and other guard knights to select the recruits who were going to be trained into cavalry units in the human world, he didn't pay much attention to what nationality these people were, the only impression was that there were mostly Caucasians, and there were some yellow people, but the number was very small, "With Yakumo Zi, that guy still pays attention to ethnic diversity, I really don't know what she thinks, so many recruits of different nationalities stay together." Is there usually a conflict between them?"
"There are some differences, but they haven't risen to the point of conflict, and now they are gradually getting together in training, and I don't know if there will be internal conflicts. One of the knights of the guard replied, the peephole of the barrel helmet casting two scarlet rays of light against the dark background inside, "There are more differences between them in national habits and their own ways of acting, but there are basically no conflicts and incidents of a malicious nature, and each soldier has his own independent room, which avoids many of the problems that were easy to occur in the previous life - these human inhabitants have generally lived in the human world for a long time." And as far as we can see, the longer you have lived here, the more generations your ancestors have lived here, the more open-minded they are. In this group of recruits, it seems that the Chinese and Japanese have been in Gensokyo for a relatively short time, so there are some conceptual quarrels between them, but they are much better now under our teaching. ”
"Those few pay attention to the points, if you are honest and honest, and toss that little trivial and boring things, you can use them as an example of killing chickens and monkeys. Feng Longde twisted his neck. For the Germans, who are accustomed to looking at the exploration of history as fairly as possible from the perspective of a bystander, the nonsense that the Chinese and Japanese Americans have done because of historical reasons and national complexes is really boring. It's so neat in some major aspects of right and wrong, but in daily life, it's too much to think that they are full of food and looking for fun, "Anyway, you also know what to do in this situation, and it's up to you to decide how well they are training now?"
"The marching training and formation training are now completed, and it is only necessary to ensure that the training in this area every day allows them to thoroughly integrate all kinds of commands into their instincts. Another knight of the guard interjected, snorting even the undead warhorse with his crotch. "But it's a headache when it comes to training them how to fight with all kinds of weapons on horseback: as you've seen before, these recruits may be very good at horseback riding, but they can't do it skillfully while riding a horse, and they often can't take care of the front and back, and in terms of the current progress, what they can do now is to chop grass targets with a one-handed battle axe on the back of a high-speed moving horse. It is estimated that they will have to train for a while today, and it is estimated that a few practice makes perfect enough to make a successful collision. ”
"It's okay to train slowly, but they have to be made sure to be fighting and belong to the Teutonic Empire, and I don't want a bunch of scum cavalry or white-eyed wolves to come out quickly. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, then turned his horse's head and walked towards one of the runways that was not being used, "I'll warm up and warm up by myself, you guys continue to be busy, don't worry about me." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The knights of the Guards nodded, and then turned their horses around and looked at them curiously at the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers, who were not yet able to charge at the stakes, "Train hard! Don't look around! Hurry up and finish today's training mission, finish it early, and rest early!"
The shouts of the Guards Knights made the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers hurry up about their training: the daily training in the Teutonic camp was harsh, but it was also humane, and it was impossible to wear time when you could rest early after training, and if you were really interested in discussing a certain aspect of your training, the Guards Knights would often be able to explain some combat skills and other training skills to you, depending on whether you could figure it out.
Regardless of how well the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers trained, Von Rond took a practice lance from the weapon rack and began to train himself in the use of weapons on horseback.
After the battle with the Aztec warriors, Feng Longde found himself wielding a one-handed weapon to slash the enemy with the speed of his horse, but if he used a riding gun to accurately hit the enemy, it was a little unpracticed: this was also Feng Longde's own training in the use of weapons on horses was still insufficient, and he was more accustomed to fighting on foot, so he could only make up for it by gradually increasing his training in this area.
I don't know how long it took, but as Von Rond continued to train on how to keep the balance of his mounted gun in his hand to ensure that he could hit the target more accurately, he suddenly noticed something, turned his horse's head back to the start of the runway, put the mounted gun back on the weapon rack, and rode towards the place where the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers had trained.
Von Rond arrived just in time, just in time for one of the Teutonic Tomahawk Rangers to prepare to charge at the stake, and when he arrived, the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger clamped his spear and drove his horse to charge.
Looking closely at the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger who was gradually accelerating, Feng Longde found that he seemed to be completely engrossed, as if all he could see was the red circle marked with the bullseye on the thick wooden plank in the shape of a fan-shaped shield on a wooden stake.
"Bang!" With a small crash, the tip of the spear struck hard into the red circle on the thick plank of the fan-shaped shield, and the large pocket filled with dirt flew past the head of the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger who had lowered his head in time at a small distance, and then stopped after a half-circle with the strength to drive the thick plank of the fan-shaped shield back to its original position once more.
