The arsenal was opened and the weapon that had been sealed for a long time was removed. Hudson's good mood disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Originally, I planned to "paddle", but when I saw the pile of broken copper and iron in front of me, even if I didn't paddle, I wouldn't be able to turn over the waves on the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Baron Redman on the side was also a little embarrassed. Although I know that my arsenal is not good, it is still a little unexpected that it is rotten to this extent.

"The family is not wealthy, and they can't afford to buy too many weapons and armor. Among the arsenals were seventy-two pairs of armor, thirty-six battle axes, forty-eight fighting axes, ninety-seven scimitars, and one hundred and eighty-seven spears......

These are the accumulation of the family, although they are a little old, but they can still kill. Let's make do with it first, if you have something to gain on the battlefield, it's not too late to change your outfit. ”

Baron Redman said with a little embarrassment.

Originally, I thought about leaving some weapons and armor behind, so as not to lose all of them. Now it seems that it is completely overwhelmed, although the pile of broken copper and iron in front of him is well sealed, it is still difficult to hide the traces of time.

Especially the armor, a lot of it was off the line and scattered directly on the ground. Even if they could be stitched together again, the thick rust could not be concealed.

Hudson picked up a slice casually and squeezed it a little harder, and sure enough, it didn't disappoint him, and the nail piece turned directly into powder.

Seeing this scene, Baron Redman decisively chose to flash people. It's so embarrassing that he doesn't have the face to stay.

Of course, he can't be blamed entirely for this. There have been no major battles in recent decades, and skirmishes with escorts are enough.

The equipment of the guards is known to be the best weapons and armor, which is enough to prove that he is a martial master.

As for the arsenal, then there is no way. Weapons also have a lifespan, and if they are not used for a long time, the best thing to do is to mothball.

It is not easy to seal the weapons and armor, you need to ask a magician to take action, and when you don't get it, you won't open it at all.

No matter how good it can be sealed, it will not be able to withstand the erosion of the years. The data on paper can barely equip 500 soldiers, but in reality it can be used for less than one-third.

This is just usable, if you are picky about quality, I am afraid that it is beautified by not one out of ten, anyway, there are few pieces that are intact.

At this point, Hudson had nothing to say. Hurry up and send the broken weapon to the blacksmith shop to repair it, and you can salvage as much as you can.

In fact, it's also a beautiful vision. In such a short period of time, even if the blacksmiths in the territory worked day and night, they couldn't repair a few pieces.

Hudson had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, equipping his soldiers with the most primitive weapon of all, the spear. It's not a normal weapon spear, but a spear from a bamboo.

In order to obtain a stronger defense, Hudson also mobilized his lords to make "shields". Undoubtedly, this is not a regular shield either, but a Xibei cargo made of bamboo.

If you want to rely on this thing to block the blade, most of the time there is no hope. But the opponent is a rebel! Treat others with oneself, one's own army is all such goods, how can the rebels have complete weapons and armor?

Even if it is useless on the battlefield, these preparations are not in vain, slightly modified and added a movable bamboo board, and put on a rope, it is a backpack in the shape of a turtle shell.

You can carry dry food on your shoulders in normal times, and you can also increase the confidence of soldiers on the battlefield. In case you encounter an enemy with a stick, it can also be used as a defense.

The main thing is that the time is too short and I can only make some simple tools. Otherwise, Hudson would not have been so passive.

Of course, the fact that the equipment of the low-level soldiers cannot be seen does not mean that he is also so sad as a knight.

Knights' swords, war horses, armor, and the equipment that knights should have are all available, and even the ten knight attendants are also assigned corresponding armor and weapons.

In this regard, Baron Redman is still not stingy. As for the misery of the equipment of ordinary soldiers, Hudson preferred to believe that it was powerless.

The main war came too suddenly, and if the information had been received from the beginning, with the productivity of the territory, it would have been possible to produce 180 weapons.

……

Time flies, and the three-day deadline flies. Riding on a tall horse, dressed in bright armor, and carrying a knight's sword, Hudson set out with five hundred "well-trained" soldiers.

The momentum of "majestic and high-spirited" did not last long after all. Not long after leaving his own territory, the originally neat team was scattered, and Hudson was furious.

The two-day intensive training is a loneliness. The so-called well-trained, it is just done for the hometown fathers and elders to see, and as soon as it comes out, it will be revealed.

As a last resort, Hudson had no choice but to slow down his march. The original plan was to travel 60 miles a day, but it was forced to be reduced to 40 miles.

You must know that this is a small troop march, but they only carry a dozen catties of dry food with them, and there is no heavy logistics material to drag them down.

At such a speed, it is simply turtle speed. Forget it, don't insult the turtle. The turtle that has become a monster is much faster than that.

As soon as the speed slowed down, the situation improved a lot in an instant. Although it is impossible to count on the neatness and uniformity, at least the basic queue is still preserved, so as not to run around.

Needless to say, Hudson also knew that this was his own temporary appointment of an unqualified officer, and he did not bring the soldiers below.

But there is no way, the officers with a little ability in these years are basically nobles, how can he command them?

As for recruiting wandering knights as officers, let's wash and sleep, there will be anything in the dream. The little resources of the barony, his own brothers are not enough, how can they afford to raise knights?

In a sense, to evaluate the strength of a nobleman, you can know by the number of knights under his command.

Basically, if you can afford to raise a dozen knights, you can be regarded as a middle nobleman. And if you want to enter the threshold of the great nobility, you must at least have a few hundred knights under your command.

Of course, this is only Hudson's personal subjective judgment, and it is not representative. If you want to become a big noble, these are definitely not enough, otherwise the big nobles are too cheap.

Taking the Coslow family as an example, with their strong fertility, they spread out everywhere, and now the knights scattered all over the place are estimated to have hundreds of people.

However, because the territory is too scattered to concentrate its power, the Coslow family can still only be regarded as a small noble.

It's nothing more than relying on people to prosper, and talking in aristocratic circles is so much tougher than ordinary small aristocrats.

This can be seen by looking at its own dusty arsenal. In recent decades, the surrounding neighbors have been very peaceful.
