Chapter 20: The Medieval Grenadier

Following.

I made a pact with the chief's family that if I came to Northtown, I would come and give lessons to Brunhilde.

In the happy smile of the silver-haired girl, Feng Daofu got on the horse in a dashing manner: "Big Tooth, let's go." ”

"Yu Yu~"

Big Tooth's nostrils fluttered, and after expressing his dissatisfaction with his weight gain, he slowly walked away.

......

On the way home, Feng Dolph practiced his riding skills vigorously.

It doesn't mean anything else, it's just diligence!

- I haven't seen the shadow of the stirrup three-piece set on the Nordic side, I don't know if it hasn't been passed in.

Considering the samurai nobles, plus he doesn't have a few horses now, the noble cavalry master can't even see the shadow of Duo Ma Ju, and the three-piece set is the enemy, and Feng Daofu is not ready to take it out for the time being.

Without a three-piece suit, you can only rely on the basic skills of hard bridges and hard horses.

Therefore, in order to marry Brunhilde in the future, it may be necessary to ride together, and it may be possible to drag two or one to three, and Feng Dolph plans to practice his riding skills well.

In addition, Feng Daofu is also a gluttonous horseman, and has a specialty in taming beasts in the future.

The talents of cattle and horses are temporarily gone, and they can't wait for the talents to come to the door, so they can only try their best to explore and explore first.

Actually, he already had an idea.

For the era of great animal power, animal power punk, animal power occult, for better pressing... In order to make the cows and horses happy, Master Feng Daofu, I can't sleep all night!

This effort has paid off, and from a scientific point of view, a method has been found that is likely to be useful.

As we all know, horses are actually very timid, afraid of everything, and need to do desensitization training.

The stallion is relatively brave, and if the mare rides together in a group, it may scare the horse into jumping when he sees someone else whipping the other horse.

Because of this character, it is difficult for them to accept the animal power machine - it is noisy to rotate, and it is too frightening for horses.

The stallion is relatively better, but also has a lot of fatal weaknesses.

The personality is unstable.,Will be inexplicably excited.,The whole super S demon.。

Some of them are wild and attack riders directly, and every year there are instances of being sent back to the west with a hoof.

- It's almost similar to when you look at the S picture and are startled, and you can dry through the screen in an emergency.

With this temper, expect to run honestly in the animal power machine?

If you have a mobile phone on hand, you can try the 'donkey-faced carrot electronic mare treadmill' tactic.

Unfortunately not.

However, according to physiology, these are related to male hormones.

So just get rid of them all...... Maybe you will be honest on the happy machine!

Vondolph felt that the feasibility was very high.

He glanced at Big Fang: "Don't you like mares?" Big Tooth, let's go back and drink some koji, and when you wake up, you'll be with the mare forever." ”

Big Tooth: "Yu? Yu Yu! ”

Vondolph: "Haha, just kidding, I'm not a devil, how can I do such a cruel thing." ”

More than 300 silver coins, you can't give birth to a horse, you can't do it, master!

Alas, let's wait for the skills to be brushed up.

......

Back home.

Feng Daofu asked Da Maoluo: "How was the banquet organized last night?" ”

Vera said: "Everyone had a great time eating and was very happy with the vodka. ”

"Nothing went wrong, did you?"

"Everyone respects you and respects God, even if there are some who drink too much, they consciously go to the side to rest, and they don't make any trouble."

"That's good... You seem to be a little depressed? What's wrong? ”

"It's Valentina......"

Feng Dolph was happy after listening to it.

Da Maoluo's mind is really genuine.

"You'll be a good wife." Vondolph said.

As soon as Vera rejoiced, she heard him say, "Tonight will satisfy Valentina." ”

Big Hair: "......"

Sure enough, the men were all wild boar trotters.

Feng Dolph didn't want this either, but he didn't have four negative traits.

And life is short, Brother Mu has generously found 12 wives, and it doesn't make sense for me to hide my little brother.

If we are gods, we will highlight an honesty!

After caring about the small family, Feng Daofu had to be busy with everyone's affairs again, and organized the believers to carry out morning prayers with Ioist characteristics: playing radio gymnastics.

"First set, go!"

Feng Dolph's experience also allows all believers to rub off on a wave of expertise - the daily training experience of the weak.

Win-win!

Only when you have a good body can you better serve the church.

Such large-scale training can also enhance potential military strength.

Of course, the point is that the Norse warriors who bought flax armor can get the careful guidance of the Sage.

It's not because they paid.

The big winter hunt is about to begin, and Feng Dolph is ready to pull out his small team and swipe a wave of war prestige.

Small is not a problem, as long as it lasts long enough, it can still convince everyone.

In the future, I will go to the Slavs to fight Qiugu, which should be warmed up in advance.

These days, I have learned a little from practice.

Like the Norse shield spearman, the best physical effect is practiced.

There is no lack of organization and tacit understanding, and the shield spear technique is not cost-effective, so it is better to train the body, which can directly improve the strength of the shield wall tactics.

Feng Dolph taught some scientific training methods, and then pointed out from the side, which was also easy to train.

Because of the good enough food during this time, the training effect is also very significant, and the daily experience of the specialty has improved the physical fitness significantly.

If you add a strong body and morale bonus, and put Norway's War of Kings event, not counting those two problematic historical kings, it is enough to overwhelm the shield wall troops of most small countries.

However, under normal circumstances, Vondolph cancels the bonus.

- After Feng Daof's exploration, the specialty given to the troops is that they can choose whether to activate it or not.

Being physically strong is the only one he has now, and the effect is immediate, which is extremely suitable for missionary expertise.

It must not be used on weekdays, unless it is really on the battlefield, and it is still packaged as a ritual on weekdays to cut a wave of piety.

He has already tasted the sweetness of the core doctrine, and the next core doctrine will be hundreds of pious cities, and if he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to save it in a few years.

The strong and strong are not activated, and carrying the weak has become the most frequently used specialty in daily life.

Originally, this specialty was used to train recruits in large quantities.

As a result, it was management that was upgraded first.

"Management upgrade!"

"Gain Specialty - Instructor (Units gain a small XP bonus per day)"

The training effect of unlimited levels has been increased, which is good!

After training these days, most of them are already full of experience to level up.

Adult workers can become qualified Norse warriors as long as they make up their equipment.

The 10-member patrol team that has enjoyed the effect of the Specialty - Carrying the Weak for the longest time, after the battle with the Norwegians, has become a Lv3 Norse veteran warrior, and the organization and tacit understanding have improved a lot, truly reaching the standard of a veteran.

If you fight those Lv2 ordinary warrior units, it is not impossible to swallow several times the number of teams with armor reinforcement.

For now, it can still take effect with the weak.

This specialty is useless for high-level troops, but it can be used to train ordinary recruits to Lv4 elite veterans in a few years, and it can already be called a training god specialty.

There is an age penalty for child labor, but because of the low starting point, they have all become Lv1 Norse Youth Reserves.

With sufficient nutrition for three meals a day, and a few months of training, the body will grow longer, and the Norse Youth Army who has trained to Lv2 will have no problem beating the European serf soldiers.

Of course, the role of the children is not here, and the start-up Iojiao does not have the will to fire, and does not need new sprouts to burn themselves to support the old tree.

But Vondolph also did not ignore the fact that some children themselves were interested in military affairs.

There are still quite a few of these groups.

The children of the Norse are certainly more inclined towards military affairs than knowledge.

The future standing army conceived by Vondolph needs qualified junior officers, so training is definitely to be cultivated.

It's just that in addition to theoretical knowledge, Vondolph has not yet thought about what work to make the Youth Corps take on on the battlefield.

Primitive people would be prepared before hunting, and qualified military generals would also be prepared for war before battle.

The Musou Medieval Version, which must not be as casual as dealing with the ordinary Medieval Version, requires even more effort in pre-war preparations.

Vondolph disbanded the team and thought about it and went to the workshop.

"Sage."

The child smelting laborer was rushing to prepare the samarium knife order, and when they saw him coming, they all saluted respectfully.

Feng Daofu nodded in return, pulled a small bench and sat down, writing and drawing on the sand table.

The first is an adult Norse warrior.

Relying on prestige and faith, after these days of training, it is barely possible to make this group of macho men change from bandits to semi-bandits, a little bit like a regular army, but it is still impossible to purify painlessly, and they can't sacrifice their combat power for purity.

How can discipline be guaranteed in this situation? Always fight with the wind.

According to the law of pressure/discipline in the army, if the casualties are reduced as much as possible and the logistics support is done well, the pressure on them can be reduced and the discipline can be improved.

If the interests are redistributed well, the interests + beliefs + tailwinds can keep them disciplined - even if they are bandits, Brother Mazi has been leading everyone to victory and making money, they must be willing to be obedient.

According to the law of conservation of discipline, as long as the pressure of the enemy's troops soars and discipline is slack, it is equivalent to improving the discipline and morale of our side.

Cold weapon warfare, as soon as this gap is opened, the effect of fighting will be greater.

For example, in the Battle of Weishui, Xie An spent money to hire a few Qin soldiers to spread rumors in the army, and as a result, the 800,000 Qin army actually collapsed without a fight.

Another example is the wise and martial Emperor Fu Jian, who was also frightened by a bunch of scarecrows on the other side of the river, and turned his victory into defeat.

The process may be a bit exaggerated, but the results are not problematic enough to get a glimpse of some details.

Combined with history, combined with the battle in the suburbs in the middle of the night, Feng Dolph chewed the words: "Morale, pressure, organization ......"

That night, he thought of the classic night attack tactics of his soldiers.

It was simply reproduced with a copper whistle, and the effect was very good, and the pressure of harassing those senior Norwegian warriors was overwhelming, the physical consumption increased, and the shield wall held by him was shaken.

So he led his troops to easily swallow this group of Norwegians with good strength with zero casualties.

Of course, this is due to Brooke's one-shot move to get Willy, the commander, off the line, but the tactics of attacking and demoralizing are also visible to the naked eye.

Vondolf, who was a military fledgling, is now very fond of morale blows.

"If I have enough cavalry, I don't need to sprint to the death, and harassment alone is enough to demoralize the enemy."

"It is enough to ensure your own morale, to hit the morale of others, and to deal with an opponent with average organization, as soon as the morale is low, the resistance line infantry will have the opportunity to break up the enemy's formation head-on, and if you don't break up, you can also let the light infantry flank outflank or cavalry back."

It's a pity that he didn't have cavalry.

Now it's only two infantry squads.

How can a force of this size play morale blow flow?

The opponents of the Nordic house basically have their own shield wall passive, in the absence of cavalry back to rush the anvil tactics, how can you defeat the shield wall tactics?

Vondolf drew the mark of the crossbowman on the sand table: "The disadvantage of the shield wall is that it is too passive, and the solution to this point is that the Nordic house is mixed, and the shield wall is matched with archers. ”

"But as long as my long-range firepower crushes the opposite side, I can grasp the shortcomings of the shield wall!"

Regular long-range Javelins, Crossbowmen, and Bows and arrows increase in difficulty.

Bows and arrows are not something that can be mastered in a while, so let these children practice daily for a few years.

Javelins break shield walls, and crossbows can be considered in the same way.

So let the Youth Legion be used as spearmen/crossbowmen to replenish the troops?

Feng Dolph thought for a moment and shook his head.

The strength required for the javelin to break the shield is not up to the target for these half-grown children, and the fire density is low, and the action of running and throwing the gun will reduce the density of the array, and as a auxiliary, it will affect the shield wall of the adult legion who resists the line.

Crossbowmen are too troublesome.

As a lover of riding and chopping, it is also very reasonable to brush a bow and crossbow to make videos on weekdays.

Therefore, Feng Dolph is very clear about how much manpower and material resources need to be consumed to produce qualified crossbows in batches.

The weather in the Nordic house is not as humid as in Britain, but because you have to go to sea often, you must not use the compound that is afraid of the tide.

The new adhesive is useless, the linen armor can make do, but the composite bow is not, even with modern technology, not many people dare to play with the composite bow - distressed.

Therefore, the most practical thing is the steel crossbow, as long as the blast furnace is erected, and a few more furnaces can be iterated to achieve tonnage output, and the supply of the army is enough.

The problem is that there is a shortage of qualified workers to operate the blast furnaces.

It's too easy to have an accident in a hurry, and the accidents in the smelting industry are still either dead or injured, or the kind that comes in pieces, and the team that has been cultivated with great difficulty has to start again.

For the safety of employees and the morale of believers, Feng Dolph's plan is to build a compact blast furnace first, and seriously start cultivating from the basics.

The size of the troops is small, and it will take about a few months for the compact blast furnace to operate, the personnel will be trained, and the output will be enough to supply.

However, the newly trained manpower is only enough to operate a blast furnace, and the manpower for the subsequent processing of steel crossbows is not enough.

"People, industrial development technology is important, but qualified workers are also important."

Craftsmen are required to craft steel crossbows, and mechanics are also required to craft arrows in bulk.

The disadvantages of shield walls are well known, but very few can be used, and this is because arrows are too expensive.

According to a medieval price table that Vondolph had seen before, a dozen arrows used by English longbowmen in the 14th century cost 6 pence, and a dozen good arrows cost 15 pence – a dozen equals 12 arrows.

Converted to the price of North, considering the cost of carpentry in North, a dozen high-quality arrows cost almost 15 silver coins, and three dozen can be exchanged for a high-quality Slavic slave girl, which is ridiculously expensive.

Even if it is the productivity of the hometown, a military arrow in the Song Dynasty cost 70 Wen, which can buy 5.3 kilograms of rice.

A dozen arrows are almost enough for one or two pieces of silver, and the salary of ordinary big-headed soldiers is only to this extent.

In terms of the price of military arrows, the East and the West are surprisingly similar, and it takes a few days to get a good arrow.

It's not an arrow, it's a rice cooker!

Where is the rain of arrows, it is a sack of rice smashing people!

Fortunately, as a lover of riding and chopping, it is also very reasonable to brush up on arrows to make videos on weekdays.

The principle is really simple, it's like sharpening a pencil and drawing a board.

In front is the knife edge, and the electric drill is against the end of the wooden strip.

With the force of the hand, push the wooden strip to the edge of the knife, and wait for the wooden strip to pass the knife edge, which is basically already in the shape of an arrow, and then fine-tune it, which is much faster than adjusting it slowly.

The electric drill can be used with a hand-cranked drilling rig, and the tools he gives to child laborers have this, and the performance may not be as strong as the adjustment of the wood texture, but it can be mass-produced.

But here's the problem......

"I'm going so hard to toss, maybe it's better to be an incendiary grenadier."

Vondolph just complained.

But in the next second, his eyes widened.

It seems like...... It's a punishment!

The incendiary bottle technique is not difficult.

A clay pot filled with distilled wood tar and acetone, with a little plant fiber added to it, is lit into a simple Molotov cocktail.

There is no need to add any additional processes, because wood tar and acetone are by-products of wood dry distillation.

In order to catch up with the firewood business in the peak winter season, the dry distillation kiln was the first to be built.

Using the Holy Birth Ritual and continuing the connections of the nobles, the profit of providing high-quality charcoal to the Norse nobles every month is two or three hundred silver coins, which is not as many as the samarium orders, but it is better than the business of daily necessities that the Norse people need all year round.

Other products attached to the dry distilled charcoal were stockpiled to supply the medieval small-scale, low-intensity warfare.

It's that the clay pot needs to be recustomized, but it's much easier to solve than a crossbow and arrow.

Medieval grenadiers?

Unimagined paths!

"This thing doesn't deal with a shield wall much better than a crossbow arrow...... Incense in every sense of the word. ”

The more Feng Dolph thought about it, the more he felt that he was a genius, and he also thought about his former riding and chopping career.

I still remember that when defending the city, I raised a fire pot, killed several enemies, swiped the screen, and my skin was numb.

"My youth."

"In reality, Molotov cocktails are easier to operate than crossbowmen, and they won't touch the nerves of North like a steel crossbow."

"After all, I'll burn a clay pot, what bad intentions can I have?"

"The action is sharp, and the troops can be adjusted before the big winter hunt."

"The armor of the shield spearmen on the top line remains the same, and the youth corps in the back row each carries five small oval Molotov cocktails."

"The qualified line for modern grenade throwing is 30 meters, but according to my understanding, there are many people hovering at the qualified line every year, and there are even people who can't pass after two years of practice."

"The small ovoid Molotov cocktail is similar to a grenade, and the force should not be so comfortable, without using a sling, maintaining a relatively tight array, and conservatively predicting the range of the grenade is about 15 meters."

"In the slow-paced version of the shield wall, this distance is also sufficient."

"Open the shield wall first, the arrows are universal, and the enemy is reluctant to shoot endlessly, wait for the bow and arrow on the opposite side to finish, and then throw a batch of them closely."

"When the remaining 15 meters are finished, the morale of the opposite side is estimated to be almost burned...... I'm such a tactical genius! ”

If you don't know that firewood, oil, and salt are expensive.

After calculating the cost of the crossbow, Vondolph decisively embraced the cost-effectiveness of the Molotov cocktail.

I really need archers and foreign reinforcement from Brooke's side.

He himself has also practiced archery during this time, digging deep into his own natural power, and this long-range configuration is enough at this stage.

Compared with spending a lot of effort to expand the crossbowmen, it is obviously more useful to use grenadiers to combat morale and break the formation.

Vondolph immediately put it into practice.

The power is a big difference from the gasoline bomb in my memory.

The calorific value gap is here, the calorific value of wood tar is only 32930kJ/kg, and the calorific value of gasoline is 43070kJ/kg.

After experimenting, it was also found that with the strength of the oak shields commonly used by the Vikings, the wood tar incendiary bomb could not be burned for a short time - you have to pick and choose to burn a piece of paper.

This is not a big problem, because the purpose of wood tar incendiary bombs is not to kill, but to blow morale from burning!

Most creatures instinctively fear flames.

Can the Vikings withstand the fire of a shield, their faces are about to be burned, and they can still keep the shield wall formation unchanged?

It's hard to be spicy!

As long as the shield wall is scattered, you can easily break up the formation, and the front will quickly snowball, and you will play a wave of harvesting victory!

You said that the rocket broke through the shield wall, it is unlikely, the amount of fire is too small, and there are not many historical cases.

But you said to break through the shield wall with incendiary grenades...... No one thinks it's a problem, right?

The cheap cost in exchange for the excess effect.

Molotov cocktails are really a treasure of the poor!
