Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 48 Weapons
There were more than 600 strong men, and only 84 were finally selected, which was less than [-], which was far from the target of [-] given by Mr. Cao, but Wang Hou did not plan to recruit more.

Rather lack or abuse!

Take the first kid who slipped away as an example. Tens of thousands of people rushed forward on the battlefield. He shrank back with a flick of his mind, and a vacancy immediately appeared in the formation. The defeat may have come from this place. No wonder later generations Qi Jiguang chose There are four things you don't want in soldiers, and the naughty one is the first one.

Amidst the breast-beating and wailing of the strong men at the door, Wang Hou also immediately let them know what regret is, and his name was entered in the military registration. Immediately, every household has a horse, a stone of flour, and white flour!As settling expenses, if two brothers are in the army, two stones of flour and two horses will be used. A total of more than 50 households who do not live in the heated kang house will be arranged to enter the heated kang house at the first time, and those with elderly people in the family will be arranged to be assigned tasks. The production team also specially asked a carpenter to enter everyone's ancestry ranking, and after building, a piece was sent to the ancestral hall of Wang Hou's mansion in the city, where it was recognized as the Wang family to enjoy incense and worship together.

On this day alone, the refugee tenants, who were originally as poor as the big guys, were separated into classes. Others were still eating black flour steamed buns for dinner, while these selected military members ate white flour steamed buns.

But Wang Hou's soldier is not easy to be a soldier. He just settled down on the first night. In the early morning of the second day, other people even got up, and they were uniformly planned to live in one place. These 84 recruits and nine tigers The leopard rider was kicked up together, and before eating, he ran five kilometers in the morning against the cold wind!
After the morning run, I was so tired that I stuck out my tongue, but the torment had just begun. The unselected young man who returned to life went to work in the mine with thick black-faced steamed buns in his mouth, and the guy who finished eating broth steamed buns Qu Qinbing was trapped in the playground of the small barracks again. He didn't have to do anything, just stand!

Standing, it’s quite simple to listen to, but humans and monkeys evolved and are naturally active, standing still like sculptures, these soldiers still look relaxed when listening to orders, but within 3 minutes, some people can’t stand it, stretch out their hands scratched the ears.

But this time they were not gentle with them. The tiger and leopard rider in charge of their team kicked over, and the unlucky soldier who kicked fell on the ground, frightened all the people around him. The tiger and leopard rider stretched out his whip to hit him, but one hand grabbed his wrist violently.

Turning his head in shock, Wang Congge immediately clasped his fists in helplessness and astonishment: "Patriarch!"

"Patriarch, kindness does not command soldiers! We survived in the same way when we joined the army. The military order is like a mountain. Since the patriarch ordered to stand for two hours, this person should be punished for disobedience! Otherwise, what will be the future of the army?"

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was an ordinary soldier who got a hundred generals in the local army. It seemed true. Wang Congge's refutation was well-founded, and he couldn't hold back, but Wang Hou smiled and shook his head when he heard it.

"Punishment must be punished, but another useful method!"

"it works?"

…………

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The shrill screams continued to ring out in front of more than [-] recruits. Not to mention, this punishment was really effective. Hearing the screams like killing a pig, and looking at the distorted face of the typical unlucky guy who was caught, the rest of the recruits had nothing to do. It's not that I'm frightened and sweat dripping from my forehead.

As for whether it is useful!It's really useful! If there is another time traveler who has been a soldier here, he will definitely be sweating, and some sad memories will emerge in his heart, because this trick is said to be a move that most recruits in later generations have to go through. This torture, nicknamed "killing pigs" stretches tendons and ligaments.

Three servants, one was pressing him from behind, pressing his thighs, the other was holding his hands in front, kicking his feet on his knees, pushing his whole legs close to a split-horse. The pain made the recruit's cold forehead sweat like a stream, and he screamed intermittently.

Walking beside the soldier with his hands behind his back, except for his brow, Wang Hou kept lecturing in the demeanor of a chairman.

"Standing in the military posture is to temper your will. You are my master's personal soldiers. You are elite soldiers who must be stronger than ordinary soldiers. Maybe it won't be long before you have to fight with me on the battlefield! What you are facing is a vicious man. There are thousands of enemies! If you don't even have the will to stand still, how can you gain a foothold in the cruel battlefield like a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​blood?"

"Dozens of them together form a whole, a formation! But if one person's will collapses, retreats timidly, or advances under the enemy, the formation will disintegrate! Everyone must die! And when I die, my fiefdom will be destroyed!" They will be taken back, and your little old people will have to suffer from hunger and cold like when they were in Liu County, and even become someone else's dinner!"

The entire new barracks was silent, but turned around and stretched for more than ten minutes, finally stood up, the hips couldn't close together, the negative example of the big girl squirming back into the formation, Wang Hou roared again.

"Anyone who violates the military regulations will be punished by stretching his muscles! Continue to stand at attention!"

Stretching the tendons is very important in military combat in later generations, because without stretching the tendons, you can only kick the enemy's waist, but after stretching the muscles and bones, you can hit the enemy's face horizontally!But Wang Hou is not worried that these newcomers will not violate it again, because the transition from a group of loosely managed farmers to a soldier with military orders requires too much deep memory!Sure enough, within a few minutes of the unlucky guy who had just kicked his legs and returned to the army formation, Wang Congge, who was patrolling the army formation, had pulled him out of the formation again by the collar of a newcomer, and a servant was holding him down behind him. , this time he sat on the ground himself, his legs stretched open the legs of the illegal rookie, and once again, screams like killing a pig rang out in front of the army formation.

…………

For several days in a row, except when necessary, when there were military orders in and out to adjust food supplies, or to personally send the finely crafted swords and armor to the mansion of General Cao’s generals, Wang Hou stayed in the other courtyard of his mine in the mountains, supervising military training. Gradually, as time went on, the new recruits of this small brigade also began to gradually break away from the looseness of the farmers, and became tidy and resolute.

There is another obvious change, these guys have gradually become less afraid of stretching their tendons!

In the snow, there were a dozen snowmen standing there. Wang Congge suddenly yelled, and a dozen recruits put their fists in a fighting posture, stepped forward and kicked them one by one. They piled up the snowman's head again, and immediately they retreated to the next row of recruits and flew up again.

At the other end, twenty recruits lined up, another tiger and leopard cavalry soldier yelled loudly, the recruit on the left grabbed the opponent's shoulder violently, and threw him into the snow with a bang, then the two retreated and shouted again , Another person grabbed the person and threw him into the snow.

On the third head, there are seven or eight newcomers who made mistakes and sat paralyzed on the snow. Several other servants pressed their shoulders to help them press their legs, but it was still as miserable as the first day. Shouting, I don’t know how many times I’ve been punished for doing this stretching. Even though the rookies are still gritting their teeth and sweating secretly, they’ve already begun to feel comfortable doing this movement again!Tendon stretching lost its deterrent effect, so that Wang Hou had to start another punishment. Next to these newcomers who were punished, a guy who was even addicted to stretching tendon squatted sadly with his thighs arched and his back carrying ten A big iron foot weighing a few kilograms.

During the military training, these new recruits are training with enthusiasm. On the one hand, the food has caught up. There are three meals in the morning, lunch and evening, unlimited steamed buns and pickles. Meat, although not as nutritionally balanced as the later generations, but the effect is still obvious, with a lot of exercise and increased meals, the muscles of the thin boys are still unrestrained, and they have energy to toss when they are full.

On the other hand, for them, no matter how painful it is to fall on the ground, it is more comfortable than standing still in the static military posture, or boring left and right.

Although there are few people, I watched this army of my own start to take shape a little bit. Although, the cost of raising this army of less than 100 people is like running water, food, salary, etc., the cost of raising a soldier is enough to feed the previous eight soldiers. He is a strong man, but Wang Hou's mood is still a little bit happier. This is the capital for him to survive and survive in troubled times.

A good soldier also needs a good weapon to set off. Even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu who swept thousands of troops back then, relied on a good horse, a good long halberd, and a heavy armor that was invulnerable. Thousands of Qin and Han soldiers are walking on the ground, and Sun Houzi also has to go to the East China Sea to find the old dragon king to get the Ruyi Golden Cudgel! This army is training, and the armament building is also the most important moment. Keep getting ready.

But Wang Hou really didn't have the financial resources to equip every soldier with a hundred-refined sword and cold-forged armor. These high-techs are too labor-intensive and not necessary.

In his plan, the equipment of his personal guards is similar to that of Yuan Shao's euphorbia warriors. The main weapon in battle is still the halberd. After all, the halberd is the main weapon in the north in this era. Come on, no matter whether you are fighting against cavalry or infantry, the halberd soldiers in formation are extremely lethal.

The secondary weapons are each equipped with a ring-shoulder knife with the characteristics of the late Han Dynasty to increase the melee combat ability and the killing efficiency against light armored infantry. These weapons are all mass-produced by Wang Hou. The outer two pieces of cast iron wrap the steel blade in the middle to enhance the strength of the whole weapon, while the ring head knife is made of wrought iron carburized tundish steel, which enhances the strength of the blade internally and increases the flexibility of the long-bladed weapon externally Compared with the [-]th refining method of ordinary weapons in this era, the strength of Baotou's weapons has been greatly enhanced, and the effort to make them has been reduced by half.

As for the armor, there is another laziness and crossing. He now has a water hammer. He directly smashes a large piece of steel after heat treatment and smashes it into an arc to make a plate armor breastplate. The back uses a large piece of armor hanging inside the cotton armor. , so that people can't find the gaps in the armor. After this treatment, the defensive power may not be reduced much compared to armor or scale armor, and the effort to create it is more than two-thirds less than a scale armor or armor.

Moreover, Wang Hou also made a time travel here. In addition to these weapons and armors, he also brought a special weapon and armor passed down from the Celts to the British.

Buckler!
The entire shield is only the size of a wall clock in the later generations, and the weight of wood and steel is only two catties. Hanging it on the arm does not add much weight, but when facing bows and arrows, erecting it head-on can often save one's life. The burden forms a half-shield wall in front. When fighting, a shield can shoot over people, and it can also blind people. It is a special weapon.

However, the equipment configuration of the entire Wang Hou trilogy still has a major weakness, the lack of long-range weapons!

Whether it was Qu Yi who first climbed the camp boundary bridge to break Baima Yicong, or Gao Shun who fell into the camp to suppress Hao Meng's rebellion, the famous rhubarb crossbow at the end of Han Dynasty played a vital role, but these important things are Wang Hou can't afford to play now, and the cost is extremely high, so he dare not play!I'm afraid that Cao Cao will fear him!

Anyway, the role of the personal army trilogy is to protect oneself at critical moments, and there is no need to break through the front line, and the number of people is too small. It doesn't matter if you give up this long-range weapon first!

Looking at the piles of weapons and armor piled up in the blacksmith shop, waiting to be equipped with trilogy, Wang Hou pinched his beard helplessly, but it was a coincidence that when Wang Hou was gnashing his teeth to make a choice, the servant who was playing the role of law enforcement gendarme suddenly turned his head Wang Ganzi rushed into the blacksmith's shop with great interest.

"Master, Master, there is an old Taoist at the foot of the mountain, who says he is your old friend, come to visit Master!"

"Me? Old friend? Veteran?"

Repeating these three words, pointing to his nose, Wang Hou is a fool
