Chapter VI Ordnance(1/2)
The sharp brass whistle sounded early in the morning, and the recruits quickly got up and quickly dressed and tidied up their house. They had eaten enough in the first ten days.
It’s a bitter experience, so now everyone moves quickly for fear of getting slapped with a military stick. After ao, they start eating
Breakfast and rest.
After the break, I started to show up at the school grounds. Since I had to hand in new training content today, I started explaining it according to the team's formation.
A couple started to explain to the new recruits: "Today we have a new training content, which is to hold a gun."
As he spoke, the lieutenant picked up a long stick from the ground. After getting the long stick, the lieutenant continued to explain: "The hand must be steady.
If you want to keep your eyes straight, your hands should be stiff, your legs should be bent, your heels should be pushed on the ground, and your butt should be stuck out!"
After hearing these correct words, the person's face looked extremely weird. It was an embarrassment that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare and could only hold it back. From this point on
You can still see the effect of the first ten days of training. When the man saw this, he yelled: "Smile, laugh, laugh!"
The man handed out the long sticks and said with a straight face: "I will practice holding the spear today."
The recruits who received the long stick could only start the gun training as they had just aligned themselves. Of course, they were dumbfounded at first, but the opponent
Zheng started to correct them one by one and then said: "Keep this position and don't move."
After hearing Zheng Zheng's words, the recruits did not dare to move and kept their original postures. Fortunately at first, as time passed, some people couldn't help but move. At this time, Zheng Zheng's whip was
Came down.
Seeing this, the others tried their best not to move. The one who saw this nodded with satisfaction and continued to stare at his recruit.
The same scene can be seen everywhere in the school grounds, where recruits are practicing holding guns.
During the lunch break, many recruits had weak hands, but there was no way they could still train with Duanqiang in the afternoon. This is how Duanqiang was trained.
Two whole days.
On the third day, training began in battalion units. Then a battalion commander said to the recruits: ‘Everyone.
sit down."
After hearing the words of the battalion commander, the new recruits sat down without hesitation. The battalion commander and his subordinates stood in front of each other. This was natural.
Let the recruits see clearly.
The battalion commander said with a straight face: "Today's training event is spear thrusting."
Seeing the look of disapproval on the faces of the recruits below, the battalion commander raised his voice and continued: "Don't think that
What I teach is useless to tell you that there is nothing fancy on the battlefield, only the most basic movements! Our infantry of the Wolf Army
When the time comes for the two armies to fight, there will be a forest of swords and guns, and the crowds will be crowded and everyone will be beaten. You will not be able to do any movements, only the most basic ones.
The two movements - closing and thrusting! Just these two! So our training items today are these two, one is closing and the other is thrusting!
The battalion commander took a wooden stick and gestured: "Let's first say that there is an important meaning of stabbing the eyes with both arms.
What do you mean by a line? It means that your arms must be forward and not wider than your shoulders so that you can use them forcefully and stab in the right place.
Make it in a straight line between the eyebrows so that it can be stabbed accurately and hard! The key to stabbing with a spear is to stab the chest and abdomen, not to stab the head all day long.
The target on the throat is too small and difficult, and the chest and abdomen are easy to stab, and as long as it hits, it will bleed and not die.”
When the battalion commander saw that the recruits below had put away his disapproving look, he listened carefully and his expression softened before he said:
"Let me show you how."
I saw his arms folded in front of him. His right arm was bent, holding the back end of the spear. His left arm was stretched forward diagonally, holding the middle section of the spear, and his body was tilted up slowly.
Slowly leaning forward, he glanced at the air in front of him and stabbed hard.
The battalion commander threw down the long stick and asked: "Did you see clearly the posture I just held? Practice this posture for me a thousand times first!"
Don’t be lazy!”
The recruits immediately grimaced and muttered to themselves, but they still just practiced hard one after another.
Yu Feng wants to use this intense training to make their muscles thoroughly remember these simple movements when they are on the battlefield.
When given an order, he would even do such an action instinctively.
Forty recruits stood in a row and imitated the battalion commander's actions just now, humming and thrusting into the void in front of them. The battalion commander with five
The pair were walking along and if they saw anyone doing something wrong, they would stop and give some guidance. At first, they were still friendly, but soon they
I found that anyone who failed to pass the instruction after three times was immediately whipped with a snakeskin whip.
After practicing for a while, these recruits were surprised to find that thrusting in this posture was indeed very effective.
The Tao is bigger and it seems that all the energy in the body can be used.
After practicing this thousand times, the battalion commander ordered them to rest for a cup of tea and then another thousand times...
After arriving at the evening camp, all the officers gathered in Yufeng's tent. In the past two days, Yufeng made it easier to discuss matters and also increased his self-confidence.
My tent does not seem crowded.
Although there were so many people, no one spoke loudly. At this time, Zheng Kang's voice came over: "Master Che Wei has arrived."
Many officers stood up quickly and saluted: "Sir Captain Che."
"Everyone sit down." Yu Feng and Yan Yuese spoke loudly, and many officers followed their instructions and sat down.
Yu Feng said: "I called you here mainly for the ordnance matter."
When they heard about the ordnance, all the officers' ears perked up. The expansion of the ordnance of the Hungry Wolf Army this time has not been enough. Originally, the North Korea
Tingbo came over with a batch of ordnance, but Yufeng threw them all into the warehouse. The officers couldn't understand what Yufeng was hitting.
I was paying attention but didn't dare to take the initiative to ask. Now when I heard Yu Feng take the initiative to mention it, I was particularly worried.
Yu Feng said: "First of all, let's talk about the infantry. Through the reactions of the previous combat soldiers, we have made some adjustments to increase the number of grabs.
It grows to two and a half feet long."
Hearing Yu Feng's words, the officers below took a cold breath. Two and a half feet was about eight meters today. No wonder these officers
The expression is so exaggerated.
Yu Feng said nonchalantly: "Please remember that our biggest enemy is the cavalry of Eternal Grassland..."
Yu Feng's words are not without purpose. Yu Feng has been thinking about it since he started using the spear formation. After so many long battles, Yu Feng has been thinking about it.
The length of the spear kept increasing after the shooting. Yu Feng remembered that the length he set for the first time was two meters, but he continued to fight battle after battle.
Afterwards, Yu Feng kept thinking and making adjustments. After discussion, two and a half feet was the best choice at the moment.
After hearing Yu Feng's words, many officers also realized that everyone present had experienced battles with the Hu people, so they thought about it.
There is no objection.
Yu Feng continued: "I have summoned a large number of blacksmiths from Jinzhou, so the spears should come out in batches. When that time comes, the troops will show up.
Now let’s get that army armed first.”
Hearing Yu Feng's words, the officers below immediately became excited. Yu Feng was very satisfied to see this.
This kind of necessary competition can stimulate the potential of the army.
Yu Feng paused and then said: "As for the armor that the imperial court has allocated, you have given up and can only take your time."
Who here doesn't understand what Yu Feng means? The armor allocated by the court is insufficient in quantity and obviously has quality problems. Let the troops
I don't even know how to die when I equip these armors.
After the Hungry Wolf Army formed an army and headed north, a large number of high-quality armors were privately transferred because of Xie Ye.
But this time I obviously didn't have such good luck.
Yu Feng said: "I decided to equip the troops with this kind of cotton armor."
As he spoke, Zheng Kang took out several sets of cotton-padded armor and handed them to the officers present so that they could pass them on to each other. The so-called cotton-padded armor is simple.
It is a thick cotton robe hung with iron pieces. The specific method of making cotton armor is to take seven pounds of cotton, put it in the jacket and sew it tightly with thick thread.
Soak it in water, take it out and spread it on the floor, dry it in the sun until it is no longer bloated, and make a very thin cotton sheet. Arrange multiple such cotton sheets to make them very thick.
Between the two layers of very solid cotton cloth is an iron armor, fixed with copper nails on the inside and outside.
Cotton armor has many advantages. It is easy to make, low-cost, and unlike traditional heavy armor that requires customization, it is convenient for mass production and heavy weight.
It is also light in weight and can be worn in winter to prevent cold.
Cotton armor has a good defensive effect against bows and arrows, which is what Yu Feng values most. Yu Feng summarized the previous few times with Hu
In the battle between Qi and Qi, it was found that every time Hu Qi was careless and charged directly, which caused the two troops to be stuck together. In the end, due to
Failed miserably for various reasons
If Hu Qi had used the caution of a lion fighting a rabbit at the beginning, first covering the blow with bow and arrow, and then charging through it, then Yu
Feng Zao has died several times.
Naturally, he will still have to fight with Hu Qi in the future, so Yu Feng is particularly satisfied with this point. Of course, the cotton armor’s defense in melee combat is
Not bad either.
