Chapter 199: The Three Armies of the Tang Dynasty!

Chapter 199

"The three major training camps are a major event for the imperial court, and they are also important matters that the Holy Emperor pays attention to. There is one thing you need to know about this matter. That is, the three major training camps are prepared for the army. The imperial court trains you, not to let you They are showing off in the capital. It is to send you into the barracks and become the talents of the empire."

"So there are some things you need to know in advance. Moreover, with your current cultivation base, it's time to get in touch with this matter."

Standing on the edge of a bow and arrow training ground surrounded by wooden piles, Zhao Qianqiu slowly said to the crowd.

"The arms in the army are divided into three types: archers, infantry, and cavalry. This is also the profession you need to choose in the future. Archers correspond to agility in martial arts!"

Zhao Qianqiu pointed to a student in the distance of the training ground. I saw the man holding a handful of arrows in his hand, drawing a big and strong bow, and suddenly let go, 咻咻咻! In the blink of an eye, twelve arrows shot out like rain.

In the blink of an eye, the man drew at least twelve strong bows. Twelve sharp arrows drew different trajectories in the void, and each accurately hit twelve different wooden figures fifty meters away on the opposite side.

Each of the twelve sharp arrows pierced three points into the wood, and the clusters of arrows sank deeply into the wooden man's body.

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time, another student set up an arrow and drew a bow. This time, like a rainstorm of fourteen sharp arrows, they shot at the same wooden man from different directions.

The positions shot were all the vital parts of the wooden man.

Seeing this scene, everyone was heartbroken.

"This is agility! All fighters who practice agility-type skills will be several times faster than others. Some people can even be more than ten times faster. In other words, in frontal hand-to-hand combat, strength is not considered In this case, for all agility fighters, if you punch him once, he can punch you twice, three times, or even more."

"On the battlefield, the most suitable warriors of this type are archers. Bows and arrows, combined with the speed of the warriors, can produce a large number of arrows in a short period of time. According to rumors, the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates are the most powerful A good archer can shoot fifty rabbits running in the grass at the same time from a distance of several miles, and the parts they hit are all exactly the same."

"In other words, on the battlefield, he can shoot down fifty of our elite infantry at the same time in the blink of an eye! If you use ten divine arrow bows, you can imagine how many infantrymen we will fall in one face-to-face meeting. If we More, fifty, one hundred, or more,

Basically our striker started to crumble! "

"However, although the archers of the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates are the most powerful, the most powerful archers in this world are those of our Tang Empire. Do you know why?"

When Zhao Qianqiu said this, he suddenly stopped, looked at the crowd and smiled.

"Bows, armor, and bows and arrows!"

Zhao Jingdian thought to the side.

"Smart! Because our Tang Dynasty has the best bows and crossbows in the world, the sharpest arrows, and armor to protect soldiers!"

Zhao Qianqiu praised.

Standing by the side, Wang Chong frowned imperceptibly. At this moment, he thought of what Ye Lao and Hu Gong had mentioned.

The Tang Dynasty has traded with the world for decades, and the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates have accumulated a large amount of refined iron, black iron, arrow clusters and armor with the help of these decades.

Such a long time is enough for them to forge a lot of armor and sharp arrows. Although I have reminded Mr. Ye that they use "tariffs" to control the outflow of steel.

But there is no remedy for the fine iron and black iron that flowed out before.

"Everyone just entered the camp, Zhao Qianqiu deliberately omitted these, so as not to cause panic and damage everyone's confidence!"

Wang Chong secretly said in his heart. Deliberately omitting part of the truth, Wang Chong didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"...The only ones who can deal with sharp archers are sharp archers. Therefore, the empire has always attached great importance to the training of archers and sharp archers!"

Zhao Qianqiu continued to speak in front.

"Strength, speed, and agility are the three major categories of martial arts. Agility corresponds to archers, who can shoot dozens of sharp arrows in one breath, and speed corresponds to cavalry."

Zhao Qianqiu took a few steps forward. In a huge training ground, several well-dressed candidates were riding two jet-black armored horses, galloping back and forth along the huge training ground. There were many Obstacle stakes are arranged in dense arrays.

These few people shuttled back and forth between the narrow gaps between the wooden posts as one man and horse, but their speed did not slow down at all.

The wooden swords used for training in their hands kept stabbing out, each time precisely cutting the same part on the wooden stake.

"It seems that there are still many good seedlings in this Kunwu training camp!"

Standing outside the training ground, Zhao Qianqiu saw that the marks left by a candidate on all the wooden posts were at the same height and in the same place, so he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"One of the advantages of iron cavalry is fast speed, coming and going like the wind, and strong mobility. The second is the power of charging!"

Zhao Qianqiu suddenly gestured to an instructor on the training ground. Seeing this, the latter laughed:

"Zhao Qianqiu, let me tell you first, I smashed this rock. Tonight, go find one yourself and move it up by yourself!"

"Stop talking nonsense, do it or not?"

Zhao Qianqiu laughed and scolded, the two were obviously familiar with each other.

"Forget it, for the sake of your students, I'm afraid of you!"

The latter waved his hand, made a helpless gesture, then pulled down his helmet, and slowly turned the spear in his hand, aiming in another direction.

Everyone followed his spear's gaze, and finally saw a huge boulder fifty feet away, which was as tall as two people.

"It's so heavy! It's basalt. I'm afraid this rock weighs four or five thousand catties!"

Wang Chong's heart moved, and he estimated the weight of that rock. He had noticed this rock when he first came here, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking it was some kind of decoration.

Now it seems that it seems to be a target for cavalry practice!

boom!

The instructor was sitting on the back of the horse, and both the man and the horse were covered in heavy black armor, looking murderous, like a demon god who came out of hell.

The war horse sneezed, and suddenly rushed out, leaving countless afterimages in the void like a bolt of lightning.

"Boom!"

Before everyone could react, they heard an earth-shattering loud noise in the distance. The ground shook, and fifty feet away, the huge basalt rock weighing four to five thousand catties suddenly fell apart and exploded violently. Thousands of debris flew into the sky hundreds of feet like a rain of flowers, and exploded violently. open.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. The gust of wind, the gust of wind caused by the explosion, blew across a distance of tens of feet, making everyone's skin slap and sting.

"Xi Yuyu!"

The horses neighed, and in the misty smoke and dust, one man and one horse breathed, slowly revealing their figures, against the background of dust and stone chips all over the sky, they looked like gods.

"Zhao Qianqiu, remember to move a piece of Xuanwu Mound here at night. This is the Xuanwu Mound used for training, but it's on your head!"

As the instructor said, he jumped on his horse, climbed over the fence surrounded by wooden posts, and disappeared down the mountain in an instant.

"You see. This is the power of an iron soldier's charge. A martial artist of the fifth level of vitality, with the cooperation of the iron cavalry, can easily explode the peak strength of the eighth level of vitality. And this is a conservative estimate. An iron cavalry of the fifth level of real martial arts The legion, charging together on the battlefield, can easily take down a real martial arts seventh-level infantry legion! This is the power of iron cavalry!"

"Regardless of any forces, the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates, the Goguryeo Empire, the Uzang Empire, or the Mengshe Zhao of the Erhai Lake..., together with the Tiaozhi and Dashi on the Anxi side, all forces have cultivated a A huge cavalry army."

"On the battlefield, the power of an iron cavalry can be ignored, but an iron cavalry will always be the nightmare of any phalanx, and it will also be your biggest threat on the battlefield in the future."

"When a huge iron cavalry conducts a group charge, it can definitely tear apart any phalanx. In addition, like archers, only cavalry can deal with cavalry. Therefore, in the empire, the cultivation of iron cavalry is also important!"

Zhao Qianqiu said.

Wang Chong frowned imperceptibly when he heard this remark, but he didn't say anything. The power of the iron cavalry charge is indeed great.

But for Wang Chong, it is by no means an unstoppable force.

The current empire is still at the point where iron cavalry charges against iron cavalry charges. But in the era when he became the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding the army, cavalry charging was never a problem.

At least, it is not only cavalry that can deal with cavalry!

"In addition to the archers and cavalry, the rest are infantry! This is the largest military branch of our Tang Dynasty! Just like what you see now!"

Zhao Qianqiu didn't know what Wang Chong was thinking. He was walking all the way and had reached the last area of ​​the training area.

Following his gaze, in the huge training ground, everyone saw a large number of students, catching pairs and fighting together in the training ground.

Archer area, cavalry area, infantry area, the three major training areas, only here has the largest number of students. Here, everyone uses a variety of weapons, martial arts are also different, and fighting styles are also completely different.

Compared with archery and cavalry charging, the combat and training here are much richer.

"Infantry is all about strength! You don't have to be good at riding or archery, as long as you have strength, you are a powerful infantry. Among the three major military branches, infantry soldiers have the lowest requirements. Among the three major military branches, The infantry has always had the highest casualty rate. However, it is different in this dynasty. From the Han to the Sui Dynasty, and then to this dynasty, our infantry in the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the most powerful in history!"

"Looking at the world, our Tang's cavalry is inferior to Uzang, and our archery is inferior to the Eastern and Western Turks, but our infantry is the strongest!"

"You need to remember that our Tang Dynasty has never fought with a single army. When the archers restrain the opponent's archers, and the cavalry restrain the opponent's cavalry, then our infantry will dominate the world!"

Hearing the last sentence, there was a commotion around, and even the other candidates passing by couldn't help laughing when they heard this sentence.

Indeed, looking at the world, Datang's infantry is definitely the most powerful. Regardless of whether it is archers or cavalry, once a large number of infantry are allowed to approach close to each other, fighting close to each other, and relying on the huge number of soldiers, the next step is almost a one-sided harvest.

Therefore, although infantry is not as good as archers or cavalry, Datang still maintains a large number of infantry regiments!

To be able to play the role of infantry to such an extent, looking at the world, only Datang!
