    Section 19 Army Parade

    "Hey!"

    "Hey!"

    "ha!"

    "ha!"

    ¡­At the Hailan City Army Academy training camp, four centurions of heavy infantry with spears, fully equipped with helmets, breastplates, kneepads, spears, javelins, and daggers, carefully repeated the movements of raising shields and thrusting.

    The heavy sword infantry, who are the backbone of the heavy infantry on the left, are also training hard. Today is the end of September 920. It is the time for each army to assess and train, and it is also a time to reflect the value of officers at all levels. The soldiers are very serious and hardworking.  performance.

    "Baron, time flies so fast. It's already the end of September now, and tomorrow will be October." Butler Jacques Jin stood on the parade platform that had been built on the breakthrough and said with emotion to Lin Fenghan who was standing aside.

    "Yes! It's really too fast." Lin Fenghan looked up at the slowly rising sun in the east, his heart burning with ambition, and he pointed energetically at the huge 20 infantry square formations slowly forming below him.  She said passionately: "Elizabeth, what do you think of our current military strength?"

    Elizabeth stared seriously and said softly: "The army of 2,000 people has 1,300 heavy infantry, and more than 1,000 people have experienced group combat. In terms of war experience and its own equipment, this army is one of the best in the surrounding area.  It¡¯s a powerful force.¡±

    "Haha! Thank you madam for the compliment. Unfortunately, I have lost all 200,000 gold coins in order to arm this army this month, but all of this is worthy of praise. Each of our soldiers has at least 2 spears and 3 javelins.  , a short sword, an iron rice shield, and leather armor inlaid with a visor. Especially our five heavy infantry hundred-man columns are armed to the teeth. Now let me lead this army, even if we are facing Bertande.  We can defeat him too." Lin Fenghan said confidently, patting his chest.  The surrounding guards applauded.

    "Your Excellency Baron, don't be too confident. Such an army is very powerful in group operations, but facing pirates fighting alone, it may not be as powerful as you think." Plutt reminded loudly, slowly  Slowly walked onto the parade platform.

    Lin Fenghan turned around suddenly, smiled happily, and said disapprovingly: "Old General, the time has just arrived, let's check out the powerful strength of the army that has been trained for a month and a half!"

    "The military parade has begun, and a phalanx of spears and heavy troops is ordered to appear."

    "Hey!" Plutt sighed softly, shook his head and said, "It's really not cost-effective for such an army to fight pirates, not to mention that only strong personal qualities can win victory in complex terrain."

    The flag bearer and messenger quickly conveyed Lin Fenghan's order, and the heavy infantry battalion, which had been prepared in five minutes, trotted into the martial arts field with neat steps.

    "Three rows of formations!"

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Under the command of the centurion, squadron leader, and squad leader, more than 600 people quickly became a row of 33 people, three consecutive rows. The last row of epees was for the centurion and the flag bearer. They were the entire  The spirit of the army.

    "Defensive formation!"

    "Ding!" The first row of spearmen bowed their waists, holding a 50-centimeter-long round shield in their left hand close to their chest, and the two-meter-long spear in their right hand pointed straight ahead.  The shields of the second row of spearmen are tilted forward, and the spears are pointed forward at 45 degrees.  The third row of spearmen have their shields up and their spears pointed forward at 60 degrees.

    "Lance circular tortoise shell formation."

    "Ha!" The soldiers shouted, and 100 people quickly and orderly followed, with a spear pointed in all directions, shields closely guarding the cavalry, and the cavalry quickly lined up in bow and arrow formations.

    "Okay!" Lin Fenghan happily patted the chair, and Elizabeth's flawless face was excitedly watching, and she said happily: "The defensive formation of the spearmen is indeed good."

    "Yes!" Elizabeth gently looked into Lin Fenghan's eyes and looked towards the martial arts field.

    "Gather, three lines of troops!"

    After rehearsing the defensive formation, the centurions shouted loudly, and the spearmen quickly arranged themselves in order under the orders of the flag bearer and major officers.

    "Prepare the light javelin!"

    "First row projection!"

    Whoosh!  600 training javelins flew toward the parade platform like wasps. Lin Fenghan and others instinctively stepped back. The light javelins were firmly planted in the sand 100 meters away from the parade platform.

    "30 meters to 50 meters!"

    "Very good! Qualified."

    "Second row, prepare heavy javelins." The centurion happily read out the data and continued to command.

    "Second row, shoot!"

    Ding!  600 green-gleaming javelins were inserted heavily into the sand 30 to 40 meters away, bringing up puffs of choking smoke.

    There are two categories of Elantra Javelins.??, in order to save materials, bronze is generally used as the gun head, and more advanced ones use steel as the gun head.  Heavy sword infantry and spear infantry generally carry two to three javelins, half of which are disposable spear heads. Once this kind of spear head is projected, it will interrupt itself when it encounters strong reflection force when it enters the target, preventing the enemy from projecting.  Come here, the other type is the solid javelin that determines the outcome of the war. This kind of javelin can be reused many times and has strong lethality. It is generally used when we are in a deadlock and our side has gained the advantage, thus determining the outcome of the war.

    "30 meters to 40 meters, okay!"

    "Assemble and line up." After checking the belongings, the centurion shouted loudly, and hundreds of people lined up quickly.

    "Raise your shield!"

    "Strike!"

    "The first row is ready!"

    "Change the formation!"

    "Skirmish formation!"

    "ha!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Your spearmen are well-trained and have strict formations. They are very skilled in changing formations and formations. I'm afraid I have to learn from you if I want to train the guards." Elizabeth looked at the army that had changed drastically in less than two months in surprise.  , said with admiration.

    "Elizabeth, the transaction is over! If you're not busy, you can stay here for a week to inspect our situation and learn more about things before going back." Lin Fenghan embroidered the sweet fragrance heavily, his eyes bright.  He looked at Elizabeth and said.

    "No, we came here as a team. I can't separate them. We will leave the day after the fresh water and goods are replenished." Elizabeth patted the hand of the maid next to her and looked at the training ground closely.  said.

    "Oh! It's such a pity, maybe there is no fate between us." Lin Fenghan laughed at himself in disappointment and looked up at the training ground seriously.

    "The heavy sword infantry enters!"

    "Line up!"

    "Siege formation!"

    "Turtle shell formation."

    The centurion roared, and the epee infantrymen holding square shields formed the famous square formation of turtle shells.  The Elantra epee infantrymen held a 70cm iron wooden shield in their left hand, a 120cm long sword in their right hand, and a 70cm short sword on their back. They quickly moved closer, with the shields on the four sides facing outwards and the backbone shield pointing upwards, forming a  The turtle shell array is airtight and not afraid of bows and arrows.

    These heavy infantrymen are composed of big men with a height of over 1.8 meters. They wear helmets, breastplates, inner leather armor, leg guards, knee pads, and load-bearing equipment. They will change their equipment at any time according to combat needs.

    "Prepare the light javelin!"

    "Projection!"

    "ha!"

    "Shield defense!"

    "Attack!"

    More than 500 people shouted loudly, holding shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, and charged forward with neat steps.

    "Abandon the shield in the front row!"

    "Fight!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Old General, why do I feel something is wrong! When this heavy infantry attacks spearmen, the 120cm long sword can indeed cut off spears and play a huge role, but the shield seems redundant."

    "Facing the cavalry's 120cm long sword and 70cm shield may not be of much use."

    "Once the heavy infantry enters the melee, the 120cm long sword distance seems too large to be used flexibly. Instead, the 70cm short sword on their back can play a huge role." Lin Fenghan asked Pulet beside him in confusion.  .

    "But Baron, you have to know that this is how dismounted cavalry used to fight." Platt slowly explained.

    "Well! The knight on horseback can indeed play the role of a 120cm long sword, but it may not be possible after dismounting. "

    Lin Fenghan frowned and thought, and said seriously: "Let's do this! Let's separate the functions of these epee infantry in a while. One way is to strengthen the defense of these epee knights, and let them wear scale armor, chain armor, and leather armor.  Armor, equipped with shields according to the situation, holding a 1.2-meter large epee and a 70-centimeter dagger in both hands as the main force, for the time being 200 people."

    "The other type is called the Elantra conventional heavy infantry, which is armed with a 70cm square shield and a 70cm dagger. It is equipped with plate armor, leather armor, heavy javelins, and light javelins. It mainly uses shields and daggers for close combat."

    "The Baron's 70cm dagger doesn't seem to be very good in group combat with spearmen and halberdiers!" Colander couldn't help but interjected.

    "Yes! Baron." Pulet also nodded.

    Lin Fenghan shook his head gently and said to the guard beside him: "Go and prepare a long sword and a short sword for me."

    "Come on, all of you!"

    "Now to attack, do you think it would be faster if I slash with a long sword and stab with a short sword?"??, which one is more deadly?  "Lin Fenghan picked up a long sword and struck forward quickly, then took out a short sword and made a stabbing motion.

    Corland shook his head in confusion and asked confusedly: "Of course the stabbing is more deadly. But does it matter to the Baron? As long as I am fast when riding a horse, a sword can kill me. Besides, the heavy infantry is under the horse."  They face more spearmen with cheap equipment. If they face them, how will these Elantra conventional heavy infantry fight?"

    "Javelins, light javelins, and heavy javelins are launched before combat. They are protected by shields during close combat, and their power is even greater."

    "Ah, in this case, wouldn't they become light infantry with round shields, and the long swords of the light infantry would be longer than them!" The cavalry officer Coland suddenly realized.

    "Each unit has its own value. Facing spears and halberdiers, we can send light infantry to deal with them. After removing the long sword, the heavy infantry is purer and more lethal. I still have it in the warehouse  More than 1,200 sets of bronze breastplates and knee pads. Why don¡¯t you think I arm the remaining 500 archers and other light infantry? The combat functions of each arm are different, not to mention that I am already planning to cancel this cheap arm. Our  There are not many cavalry, and the reason why I kept these 500 people is mainly to replace the cavalry for mobile reserve support." Lin Fenghan looked at the people who understood a lot and slowly explained.

    ¡­¡­

    "Rockets ready!"

    "shoot!"

    "Armor-breaking arrows are ready!"

    "shoot!"

    ??????? Flames and cold light flew across the sky.  Next, 300 crossbowmen showed their power to Lin Fenghan.

    "Elizabeth, my crossbow attacks in a straight line and can shoot 100 to 200 meters, with an effective killing range of 50 to 70 meters. Now I will show you my latest invention of the pulley bow, which has a range of up to 300 meters.  , the effective range is between 120 meters and 200 meters. You must know that the effective range of general bows and arrows is only 50 to 100 meters."

    "Really?" Elizabeth looked at the smiling Lin Fenghan in surprise and asked suspiciously.

    Lin Fenghan frowned and clapped his hands heavily.

    "ha!"

    "ha!"

    "ha!"

    "Ha ha!"

    ¡­¡­

    More than 300 people walked into the martial arts arena in neat steps, carrying longbows ranging from 1.3 to 1.7 meters on their backs.

    "Baron, what kind of bow and arrow is that? Why is it so big!"

    "Yes! Look at the two ends, it looks like there are two wheels!"

    "Yeah! It's so weird."

    "We've never seen it before."

    On the martial arts field and on the review stage, many soldiers and officers discussed in surprise.

    "Queue"

    "First row, get ready!"

    "Shoot!"

    "Second row, get ready!"

    "Shoot!"

    "Third row, get ready!"

    "Shoot!"

    The three centurions led the troops into the martial arts field without saying a word, lined up and fired wildly at the sand 300 meters away to the right of the parade platform. After a while, in the shocking eyes of everyone, more than 300 long arrows flew 50 meters.  high in the sky and inserted into the sand.

    "Male! Man! Baron, is this a bow and arrow or a catapult?"

    Platt stood up in shock and said with clear eyes: "Baron, this weapon is too terrifying. I can't imagine how the light infantry can survive with this weapon."

    "Yes! This kind of weapon must be kept secret. Even for our cavalry, if the horses are not armored, they will suffer heavy losses." Coland also said in shock.

    "Yes! I agree too, especially beware of those with impure thoughts." Ke Lande looked at Luo Qing, Lana, Rafa and others with ulterior motives.

    "You!" Rafa looked at Kolander angrily, while Rana quickly grabbed his brother and signaled him not to be angry.

    "Don't be nervous, everyone. Since the refining science is not advanced, we haven't made suitable steel wire yet. The life of this kind of bow and arrow is very short, especially the life of the bow string is limited and has great flaws. It is not suitable for continuous combat at the moment. But we have already  Slowly improve it and gradually bring it into the battlefield."

    Lin Fenghan smiled, looked at the people around him, and said loudly: "The army drill is over. Let's go back and get ready. I have decided to lead 1,000 people on an expedition tomorrow. Most of the officers will go by then. Everyone, go back and get ready!"

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    "I know such important news, won't you let me make a promise?" YiLisabeth quietly looked at Lin Fenghan, who was approaching with a frown, and asked softly.

    "How could it be? I won't hurt you anyway. Aren't you interested in this kind of super bow and arrow?" Lin Fenghan said softly with a bitter smile.

    "I'm very interested." Elizabeth stared into Lin Fenghan's eyes and said softly, "Can you let me have a look?"

    "Let's go, how can I refuse the lady's request?" Lin Fenghan smiled happily, took Elizabeth's delicate hand and walked towards the archer camp on the side.
