Chapter 119: Because it's a bit scary, it won't be publicized
The gun ax is not the one that can shoot bullets. To put it bluntly, it is a sharp part with spines. It is slightly shorter than the "spear" of the spear, so it is called a "gun".
After the Europeans entered the 15th century, they began to use weapons such as halberds and axes in order to achieve the armor-breaking effect. And like the Nordic people who became pirates, they used various axes from the beginning to achieve the armor-breaking effect.
Therefore, Zhiyao "invented" the Spear Ax because he wanted a weapon that could be used to break armor in close combat. He did not choose a mace or mace, or even something more primitive. There were actually many reasons.
The total length of the spears and axes made by Lao Zhijia is about 1.8 meters. They are specially selected for tall and strong people to hold them. They will also be equipped with breastplates.
Based on the concept that Jin people are no strangers to war, most people will wear at least an extra layer of armor if possible, and the spear and ax soldiers can be regarded as heavy infantry.
Zhixuwu and Zilu were stunned at first, and then looked at each other in confusion.
It is now the late Spring and Autumn Period, and there are very few wars fought in the "array line" mode. There are more encounters and chaotic battles.
They couldn't help but regret that the spear and axemen appeared too late. Otherwise, if they were to advance with soldiers wearing breastplates and holding spears and axes, it would be difficult for the soldiers to resist.
Zhiyao was thinking: "Nowadays, even the foreign races are riding horses and dismounting to fight. Otherwise, if the 'axe' parts of the spear and ax are lightened and the handle is lengthened, it will not be a problem at all against the cavalry."
What needs to be understood is that at this stage, in countries including Jin, the rate of soldiers wearing armor is actually not high.
Although Jin is the overlord, considering various types of armor, a 30% armor wearing rate is considered good.
For the rest of the vassal states, the smaller the country, the lower the armor-wearing rate of soldiers, and regardless of whether the country is rich or not, the armor-wearing rate generally does not exceed 20%.
For example, in Qi State, a famously wealthy country, the rate of their soldiers wearing armor is only a little over 20%. The reason is that the country's wealth does not mean that the "doctors", "scholars" and "disciples" who are qualified to participate in the war are wealthy.
So, Zhiyao brought in four thousand sets of various armors, which actually frightened Zilu.
As one of the core family members of the Zhi family, Zhi Xuwu knew to some extent that his family was facing a reform stage. He knew that the wooden armor would be completely eliminated in the Zhi family. He learned that there were 3,200 sets of armor among the 4,000.
Mujia doesn't feel luxurious at all.
Of the remaining 800 sets of armor, 500 were made of paper armor, followed by 100 sets of leather armor, and there were 200 sets of breastplates.
Whether it is paper armor, leather armor or breastplate, they are all armors that Zhiyao deliberately brought over for field testing, that is, they are informally installed. While exploring the tactics of new arms, they will also combine the advantages and disadvantages of various types of armor.
Find out clearly in actual use.
"So, a hundred and two tall people all hold spears and axes?" The "jun" Zhi Xuwu said specifically refers to tall and burly people.
Only 120 warriors with a height of over 1.9 meters were selected. The physical condition of the soldiers within the recruitment range was not up to standard. There were only 200 sets of breastplates and 250 spears and axes. The training required
Taking losses into consideration, spare equipment must be left behind.
Because the spear and ax were too "eye-catching", Zhi Xuwu, Zi Lu and others ignored a new piece of equipment, which was the small buckler.
The shields on Zhu Xia's side are generally rectangular, which cannot be separated from the design idea of a tower shield, especially the heavy and solid path.
This may be related to the fact that ordinary soldiers in Zhuxia are equipped with long weapons as standard? Soldiers have to use both hands to hold long weapons, and they can no longer have one hand free to hold a shield. As a result, there is a special type of soldier who can carry shields. It is natural.
Don't care so much about the weight of the shield.
Tower shield soldiers, all dynasties in Zhuxia have this defensive force that specializes in carrying shields. Especially in the Youming Dynasty, tower shield soldiers were developed to the extreme and a Liaodong heavy armor force was specially built.
In different dynasties and generations, the secondary weapons of shield-bearing soldiers are different. For example, the Han Dynasty will be equipped with a ring-headed sword, the Song Dynasty will be equipped with a broadsword, axe, or a heavy hammer, and the Ming Dynasty will use short spears. They are usually defeated.
Once in formation, discard the tower shield and take out weapons to fight. The more important responsibility is to use the shield to provide cover for friendly forces or cooperate with the advancement.
Waiting for Zhiyao to announce the mission, which required the formation of a force of 1,500 spearmen and shield soldiers, Zi Lu, who was responsible for completing the formation, came back to his senses.
"It's covered with rattan, and its shape is round?" Zilu really had never seen this kind of shield. He weighed it himself, and then used it with a spear according to the military training manual, and found that it was very easy to use!
When Zilu selects his troops, they should be of medium height according to the requirements. The main training is teamwork.
The code of conduct was written very carefully, allowing Zilu to grasp the key points in one go, but in his heart he was extremely shocked by Zhiyao's military qualities.
Do you think you can write military training drills if you understand military affairs? Some generals who are very good at leading troops in combat only know about military training and don't know why.
If a general who knows how to train troops goes to the battlefield and has the power to command, no matter how hard he is defeated, it will not be too bad. If the situation cannot be solved, an orderly retreat can still be done.
Zilu's shock was a little off-center, thinking that what Zhiyao showed was the Zhi family's secrets. The Zhi family didn't take action before because there were no outstanding tribesmen like Zhi Yao.
So it doesn’t seem wrong to think so? The family’s history is long enough, who doesn’t have a little background in packing boxes?
For example, the Wei family, after several generations of accumulation, they figured out the heavy armor and weapon matching that were most suitable for them. When Wei Shu became the master, he began to abandon tanks and play pure infantry style, and then Wei Chi entered the opposite style.
The actual formation of heavy infantry.
When Wu Qi appeared later, he mostly reformed the heavy infantry based on what the Wei State had. Otherwise, he would not have been playing heavy infantry in the Wei State. Later, he would not be able to play in other countries. It is clearly said that the Wei State had to play heavy infantry.
Other countries do not have the conditions for infantry.
Of course, it cannot be said that Wu Qi’s reforms are unimportant.
If the same army of a country is reformed and trained by different people, given spiritual beliefs, and improved treatment, the final shape of the army will be different.
Because of Wu Qi, the Wei State was able to conquer all directions; the Qin State laid the foundation for the unity of the universe because of Shang Yang; Shen Buhai's reforms in Korea caused the Han family to fall into ruin after its defeat; and there are too many examples that have been proven again and again.
, there really is a gap between people. If you want to do something and you can do it, you may not always get a satisfactory result.
Zilu's shock was due to the Zhi family's background and the overall Zhi family's expectations for Zhi Yao. He really didn't think that everything was Zhi Yao's attempt.
There is no way, Zhiyao is fifteen this year, and she has shown herself to be good enough.
At his age, if the writing of military drills becomes known to the world, even if the troops trained according to the military drills have not been tested in actual combat, I don't know how many people will still shout "monster".
At this stage, Zhiyao is already engaged in the business of winning people's hearts. When patrolling the camp, she found that the soldiers had any difficulties and helped them. When she noticed that some things should be changed, she made appropriate changes, especially by repeatedly ensuring the implementation of the "new law" to the trainees.
Comprehensively improve your sense of existence in a way that implements everything from human feelings to legal principles.
A sense of presence? For the thing that the superior must exist, it is not based on negativity. If you can have a strong sense of presence, you can create it to a higher level. Coupled with the guidance of public opinion, it can achieve a miraculous effect.
To put it simply, it is nothing more than a god-making movement.
Zhiyao's status is sufficient, and he has a real and glorious record. There is no need to brag too much to death, and public opinion can be formed to achieve the goal.
They stayed in the Taihang Mountains to train, and as soon as they practiced, winter came again.
During this year, a lot of things happened in the outside world, including Zhongxing Yin, who came to Jin on behalf of Qi to redeem the ritual vessels.
Because it wanted to help Zhongxing Yin gain a foothold in the Qi State, the Jin State directly asked Zhisong to come forward, but he did not give it away for free. He proposed conditions within the acceptable range of the Qi State and gave him 14 cities at the cost of it.
Ritual utensils returned to Qi State.
In the past, the State of Qi sent people over, but the State of Jin did not even talk about it. It was a very appropriate thing for the State of Qi to use fourteen cities to redeem the plundered ritual vessels.
In other words, if the Jin State does not want anything to return the ritual vessels, it is to a certain extent contempt for the inheritance of the Qi State; if the Jin State asks for too much, it will make the Qi State heartbroken, and whoever achieves it will not be considered a credit; if you pay appropriately,
Returning the ritual vessels is the most acceptable way for Qi State.
Zhong Xingyin, who returned with the ritual utensils, completely established a foothold in the Qi State, but the environment in the Qi State was different from that of the Jin State. They were a public family that was absolutely powerful. Zhong Xingyin wanted to develop the newly settled family into the state that had once been in the country.
Like the Jin State, I don’t know how many years of struggle it took, or how many generations of hard work it took.
"That Tian Qi is indeed engaged in the business of 'big fights come out and small fights come in', and he dances very well?" Zhiyao always felt that she had overlooked something.
Tian Qi is trying to instigate the young master of Qi State to challenge Xin Juntu. He is not just instigating a single young master. He has hooked up with everyone he can. He doesn’t know who he will bet on in the end.
Zhiyao felt that it was necessary to tell Zhisong that maybe Zhongxingyin could play some role in this wave of civil strife in Qi, not for the sake of Jin, but purely for the new family that Zhongxingyin had reestablished in Qi.
The other things are nothing more than the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Fan family continuing to fight.
Shi Jishe has been completely defeated. No matter how Zhao Yang or Wei Chi tries to seduce them, all Fan has to do is defend one city and one place. This method prevents Zhao and Wei from finding a chance to completely annihilate Fan's main force.
, I can only feel extremely uncomfortable and have to gnaw on one hard bone after another.
To a certain extent, Shi Jishe is holding on until the situation changes suddenly, or he dies, which will cause more losses to the Zhao family and the Wei family, and delay the development of the Zhao family and the Wei family.
Waiting for the day when the Zhao family and the Wei family will be taken over by a certain high-ranking family in Jin.
Therefore, Shijishe not only caused actual losses to the Zhao family and the Wei family, but also pushed a difficult problem in front of the Zhi family.
It’s not like the Zhao family and the Wei family are all brainless. How could they not understand that it is dangerous to weaken the Fan family because of the attack? They must find a way to drag the Zhi family and the Han family into the water!
