Chapter 47 Exercises are like battlefields
"Sir, what is this?"
"Why is it so long? "
The whole group of people were stunned.
Liu Zheng smiled faintly. This thing had never appeared in ancient China. Because it was called the Rhodok Spear! It was a weapon that appeared in the European medieval game "Mount and Blade" that Liu Zheng liked in later generations. And this spear used by the senior spearmen of Rhodok was 245 cm long!
This kind of spearman is definitely a nightmare for cavalry!
In Liangzhou, the most common thing is cavalry. This is also the capital of Liangzhou's dominance. Therefore, even those scattered soldiers are cavalry!
Cavalry has strong mobility and impact, and a large-scale cavalry expedition is a terrifying scene. In ancient times, apart from crossbowmen and spearmen, there was basically no one who could restrain cavalry.
However, spearmen are different.
In Liu Zheng's impression, the Rhodok spearmen, in a specific combat environment and on a large scale, have extremely strong lethality against cavalry!
Especially with the cooperation of Rhodok crossbowmen and spearmen, it is simply a nightmare for other types of soldiers. In this case, only shield soldiers may be able to fight, but in order to break through this battle formation, it will also require extremely heavy casualties.
As for the cavalry?
Haha, I couldn’t even get close to it and was directly destroyed!
Therefore, after discovering that Liangzhou had many cavalrymen, Liu Zheng had been thinking about this matter. He wanted to build his own spear and crossbow formation, but he thought that he had to develop Yinzhou first, so he did not implement it.
I didn't expect this day to come so soon.
This is already a real war!
“Just build it according to this proportion!”
Liu Zheng didn't explain much and just gave the order.
Although this Rhodok spear is very heavy, fortunately, the soldiers of Yinzhou are all physically fit and they do not have any difficulty in using this spear.
"yes!"
I have finished explaining this.
Liu Zheng went straight to the weapons shop!
"Young Master!"
The weapons workshop is a new department in the God Workshop, but it is the workshop that Liu Zheng values the most. The reason is simple: if you want to survive in this chaotic world, how can you survive without weapons?
The person in charge of the weapons workshop is Wei Tiezhu's cousin named Wei Chengjian. Unlike his cousin, Wei Chengjian has been studying in a private school since he was a child. He has a quick mind and is considered a rare talent in the Shengong Workshop.
Liu Zheng laughed and said, "Have you prepared everything I have assigned to you?"
Wei Chengjian was excited: "Sir, according to your drawings, I have already made a thousand crossbows! Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows!"
Liu Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this.
Wei Chengjian immediately sent someone to bring the finished Shenbi crossbow. Everyone was amazed. When the weapon workshop was just established, this was the first task Liu Zheng gave to Wei Chengjian!
Divine arm crossbow!
Ancient China can be regarded as the most powerful single-soldier crossbow. In the history of the world, the most powerful crossbows are those that can only be operated by several people working together. There is only this one type of single-soldier crossbow! It can be seen how important the Shenbi crossbow is in the history of ancient wars. This super-powerful single-soldier crossbow was invented during the Song Dynasty.
The bow is three feet three inches long, the string is two feet five inches long, the maximum range can reach three hundred and forty steps, and it can penetrate heavy armor!
The most important thing is that this crossbow can be operated by one person, which is more responsible for Liu Zheng’s magic crossbow spear formation!
"Sir, is this a single-soldier crossbow?"
"Haha, sir, Yinzhou doesn't need to defend the city, what do you need this crossbow for?"
"The Liangzhou cavalry is the best in the world. There is no enemy we cannot defeat! No need for crossbows!"
When Liu Zheng saw that the Shenbi crossbow was finished, he immediately called Qin Changfeng over and planned to equip a thousand men with crossbows. Who would have thought that after seeing showed disdain.
This is the arrogance of the people of Liangzhou.
They are confident of the strong impact power of their cavalry and do not prepare any other types of troops.
When they heard that they were going to be converted from cavalry to crossbowmen, many of them looked unhappy and refused.
Qin Changfeng shouted: "Are you going to disobey military orders?"
The crowd was shocked.
"Counselor Qin, we are the men of Liangzhou. We will fight and die immediately!"
"How can you be willing to be a cowardly crossbowman?"
"that is!"
A group of people were outraged.
Liu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Qin Changfeng looked at him helplessly. What else could he say to such a man of blood?
"You think crossbowmen are unimportant?"
Liu Zheng sneered.
The soldiers nodded one after another: "That's something only the southern barbarians play with!"
"We Liangzhou's elite cavalry don't need it!"
Liu Zheng nodded: "Okay! How about we have a competition?"
The thousand soldiers said they had no objection.
"Young Master..."
Qin Changfeng reminded quietly: "I also think that these crossbowmen are of little use..."
In the northwest of Liangzhou, wars are fought on a large scale, with cavalry charging into battle. Archers are rarely used except when defending a city.
He felt that although Liu Zheng was capable, he still did not understand military affairs.
"Stop talking nonsense. One thousand people, divided into two teams, attack and defend each other! If I win, you will obediently change to crossbowmen! If I lose, then I won't mention the crossbowmen anymore, how about that?"
Liu Zheng looked at the group of people and said.
Everyone responded.
One thousand people were divided into two camps. When Liu Zheng was making weapons, he would naturally prepare some props specifically for daily training and distribute them to each person.
It was obvious that the five hundred cavalrymen were eager to fight.
Those who were assigned to the crossbows and spears were as listless as eggplants hit by frost.
The two camps were pulled into the canyon of the Divine Workshop, each one a mile apart.
"Cheer up!"
Qin Changfeng led the cavalry, and Liu Zheng led his spear and crossbow formation. Seeing that a group of people were a little passive in the training, Liu Zheng shouted angrily: "The exercise is the battlefield. The winner of this exercise will be rewarded with ten silver coins!"
"Anyone who slacks off will be punished by military law!"
When everyone heard this, they were excited.
"Spearmen in front, in a fan shape!"
"Divide into two teams!"
"The crossbowmen are three feet behind. Divide into three teams and fire in sequence!"
"Don't charge. Remember, maintain formation and don't charge!"
At this time, Liu Zheng gave an order, and the horses in the canyon neighed. Qin Changfeng shouted excitedly, "Kill!" The cavalrymen holding wooden swords and wooden knives kicked their horses' bellies and galloped forward with great momentum. This frightened the 500 soldiers on Liu Zheng's side. They were all cavalrymen before, and they were a little uncomfortable without horses for a while, and their formation was almost disrupted.
"Hold on!"
Liu Zheng shouted fiercely.
Everyone felt a little relieved.
Seeing that the cavalry had already run more than 700 steps, Liu Zheng raised his arm and shouted, "Crossbowmen, shoot!"
Although the crossbow arrows in the hands of the crossbowmen are not real, they are made of solid wood. Although the range is slightly affected, they can still be shot out very quickly.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Thousands of arrows were fired at once.
The cavalrymen raised their weapons to block. At this moment, Liu Zheng continued to shout: "Spearmen, attack!"
"kill!"
During the first charge, the formation was still a bit messy, but during the second charge, the spearmen still maintained a fan shape.
They were surprised to find that under the pressure of the crossbows in the air and their super-long spears, the cavalry, which seemed so powerful, was killed and repelled before they even got to them.
"kill!"
Qin Changfeng's face darkened, he reorganized his team, and they met again.
But the result is still the same...
Five hundred cavalrymen were beaten black and blue today.
Everyone was shocked.
How could the invincible cavalry of Liangzhou be restrained like this?
"how?"
Liu Zheng laughed wildly.
A thousand soldiers shouted that the young master was mighty.
Now, no one has any objection to being changed into crossbowmen.
"Changfeng, in the next few days, three thousand soldiers will take turns to come here to train this formation. How Yinzhou will perform this time depends on you."
Liu Zheng instructed Qin Changfeng.
"yes!"
Return to the county mansion.
Liu Zheng saw Shen Xing running towards him in a panic.
"What is it?"
Shen Xing sighed, "Sir, our scouts have already found out that the bandits are indeed a group of scattered soldiers. They are not a thousand, but five thousand! The one hired by Chen Kui this time is the former deputy governor of Liangzhou, known as the bitter-faced devil, Luo Xiongchao!"
"What?"
Liu Zheng's face changed drastically when he heard this.
…
at this time.
Yangzhou Prefecture.
There was singing and dancing, the sound of stringed instruments rang out, and the ears were filled with wine.
"Mr. Chen, what a great plan!"
Lu Zhengyi was very happy and reeked of alcohol.
Chen Kui also drank a glass and said with a cold smile: "Let's see how that young boy will deal with it this time. Do you want the iron ore or not?"
Everyone laughed.
If yes, it will be the date of Liu Zheng’s death!
Five thousand mercenaries alone are more than Yinzhou Prefecture can stop.
don't want?
If you don't want it, you can kill people with a soft knife, take your time! First, destroy your reputation in Yinzhou Prefecture. Who will dare to do business in Yinzhou? Then, cut off all your escape routes.
Catch the turtle in the jar.
"The Liu family father and son have done me a disservice! This time I'm going to make them suffer a fate worse than death!"
Chen Kui is extremely arrogant.
Lu Zhengyi also laughed.
At this time, a woman's scream was heard at the banquet. Lu Zhengyi could not help but frown and looked over. He saw the big and strong Luo Xiongchao at the table tearing a maid's body apart. Several mercenary captains beside him were also enjoying it. The scene was very unbearable.
"this……"
Lu Zhengyi's face darkened, he thought, this is the county mansion, how can one be so unrestrained?
But seeing Luo Xiongchao's fierce momentum, he swallowed the words back.
Chen Kui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lu, they will leave after the work here is done, and will not cause any trouble to Yangzhou! Haha, think about the Divine Workshop in Yinzhou, what we have paid in the past few days is nothing compared to it?"
"Okay, okay, that's good, that's good!"
Lu Zhengyi shook his head and thought, these days, this group of undisciplined mercenaries have been abducting women and doing all kinds of evil. They have made Yangzhou a mess. Isn't this a problem?
But when he heard the word "Shen Gongfang", he couldn't help being greedy.
I heard that it is a place where you can make money!
"Lord Lu, victory is imminent, it's all clear!"
"good!"
…
"What did you say?"
"Five thousand?"
Liu Zheng was startled.
Shen Xing smiled bitterly and nodded, and everyone frowned again.
Five thousand bandits in seven days.
With Yangzhou's three thousand soldiers behind them, Yinzhou seems to be really in a desperate situation this time.
Who would have thought that Liu Zheng would burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, God helps me!"
