"Sir, what is this?"
"Why is this so long?"
A group of people were dumbfounded.
Liu Zheng smiled lightly. This thing has never appeared in ancient China. Because this is called Rhodok's Spear! It is a weapon that appeared in "Mount and Blade", a European medieval game that Liu Zheng liked more. And this kind of spear used by Rodole's senior spearmen is 245mm long!
This kind of spearman is definitely a nightmare for cavalry!
In Liangzhou, the most numerous people are cavalry. This is also the capital of Liangzhou’s pride in the world. Therefore, even those skirmishers are all cavalry!
The cavalry is highly mobile and has strong impact. A large-scale cavalry expedition is quite a terrifying scene. In ancient times, except for crossbowmen and spearmen, there was basically no existence that could restrain cavalry.
However, the same cannot be said for spearmen.
In Liu Zheng's impression, the Rodok spearmen, in a specific combat environment and at a large scale, were extremely lethal to the cavalry!
Especially with the cooperation of Rodok crossbowmen and spearmen, it was simply a nightmare for other arms. In this case, only the shield soldiers may be able to fight, but in order to break through this battle formation, extremely large battle losses will be required.
As for the cavalry?
Haha, he couldn't even get close, he was immediately destroyed!
Therefore, after discovering the situation of too many cavalrymen in Liangzhou, Liu Zheng had been considering this matter. He wanted to build his own spear and crossbow formation, but he wanted to develop Yinzhou first, so he didn't implement it.
Unexpectedly, this day came so quickly.
This is already considered a real war!
"Just build it according to this proportion!"
Liu Zheng didn't explain much and just gave the order.
Although this Rodok spear is very heavy, fortunately, the Yinzhou soldiers are all physically crazy, so it is not difficult to use this kind of spear.
"yes!"
Finished explaining here.
Liu Zheng came to the weapons workshop again without stopping!
"Master!"
In Shengongfang, the weapons workshop is a new department, but it is the workshop that Liu Zheng values the most. There is no other reason. If you want to survive in this troubled world, how can you do it without weapons?
The person in charge of the weapons workshop is a cousin of Wei Tiezhu named Wei Chengjian. Unlike his cousin, Wei Chengjian has been studying in a private school since he was a child. He has a flexible mind and is a rare talent in the Shen Workshop.
Liu Zheng chuckled and said, "Are you ready for the things entrusted to you?"
Wei Chengjian perked up: "Sir, according to your drawings, a thousand divine arm crossbows have been made! Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows!"
Liu Zheng was overjoyed.
Wei Chengjian immediately sent someone to bring the finished God Arm Crossbow. Everyone looked at it in amazement. When the weapons workshop was first established, this was the first task Liu Zheng gave to Wei Chengjian!
Divine arm crossbow!
It can be regarded as the most awesome individual crossbow in ancient China. In the history of the world, generally the crossbows that can be used are the kind that can only be played by the cooperation of several people. There is only one type of individual crossbow! It can be seen how important the divine arm crossbow occupies in the history of ancient warfare. This super powerful individual crossbow was invented during the Song Dynasty.
The bow is three feet three feet long and the string is two feet five feet long. Its maximum range can reach 340 steps, and it can penetrate heavy armor!
The most important thing is that this kind of crossbow can be operated by one person, which is more responsible for Liu Zheng's divine crossbow spear array!
"Sir, is this a personal 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 Divine Arm Crossbow was completed, he immediately called Qin Changfeng and planned to equip a thousand people with crossbow arrows. Who would have thought that after seeing the crossbow arrows, these thousand cavalrymen all showed disdain.
This is the arrogance of Liangzhou people.
Their own cavalry has strong impact, and they don't prepare other arms at all.
When they heard that they were going to be converted from cavalry to crossbowmen, many people looked unhappy and refused.
Qin Changfeng shouted: "Are you going to disobey military orders?"
Everyone was in an uproar.
"Counsellor Qin, I, a man from Liangzhou, will fight and die immediately!"
"How can you be willing to be that crossbow soldier who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"that is!"
A group of people were outraged.
Liu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Qin Changfeng looked helplessly. What could such a bloody man say?
"You think crossbowmen are not important?"
Liu Zheng sneered.
All the soldiers nodded: "That's something only southern barbarians play with!"
"We Liangzhou Jingqi don't need it!"
Liu Zheng nodded: "Okay! How about we discuss it?"
A thousand soldiers said they had no objection.
"Son..."
Qin Changfeng reminded in a low voice: "I also think that this crossbow soldier is of little use..."
In the northwest of Liangzhou, the battles were fought in a big way. The cavalry charged into the battle. Except for the need for crossbows when defending the city, they were not used much at other times.
He felt that although Liu Zheng was capable, he still did not understand military affairs.
"Don't talk nonsense, a thousand people, divide into two teams, attack and defend each other! If my side wins, you can change the crossbows for me! If I lose, how about I don't mention the crossbows?"
Liu Zheng looked at a group of people and said.
Everyone agreed.
A thousand people were divided into two camps. When Liu Zheng was making weapons, he would naturally prepare some props specially used for daily training and distribute them to people.
It was obvious that the five hundred cavalry were full of fighting spirit.
And here, those who were distributed with divine arm crossbows and spears were like eggplants beaten by frost, unable to cheer up.
The two camps were pulled into the canyon of Shengongfang, one mile apart from each other.
"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 and lazy in training, Liu Zheng shouted angrily: "The exercise is the battlefield. The winner of this exercise will be rewarded with ten silver coins!"
"If anyone is passive and sabotages his work, he will be punished by military law!"
When everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted.
"The spearmen are in front, in a fan shape!"
"Divide into two teams!"
"The crossbowmen are three feet behind, divided into three teams, and fired one after another!"
"Don't charge, remember, maintain formation, don't charge!"
At this time, Liu Zheng gave an order, and the war horses in the canyon roared together. Qin Changfeng shouted excitedly and shouted to kill. The cavalry armed with wooden knives and wooden swords kicked the horses' belly fiercely and galloped over with momentum like a rainbow. This shocked the five hundred soldiers on Liu Zheng's side. They were all cavalry before, but they were still a little unaccustomed to being without horses for a while, and their formation almost became chaotic.
"Hold on!"
Liu Zheng shouted fiercely.
Everyone felt a little more stable.
Seeing that the cavalry had already taken more than 700 steps, Liu Zheng raised his arms 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 somewhat affected, they are still shot very quickly.
Whoosh whoosh!
Thousands of arrows were fired.
The cavalrymen raised their weapons to block. At this moment, Liu Zheng continued to shout: "Spearmen, attack!"
"kill!"
In the first charge, the formation was still a bit chaotic, but in 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 seemed so menacing that they were killed before they could even reach them.
"kill!"
Qin Changfeng's face darkened, he reorganized his team and met again.
But the result is still the same...
Five hundred cavalrymen were beaten with bruises and bruises today.
Everyone was shocked.
This invincible cavalry in Liangzhou was actually restrained like this?
"how?"
Liu Zheng laughed ecstatically.
A thousand soldiers shouted loudly that the young master was mighty.
Now, no one has any objections to being converted into crossbowmen.
"Changfeng, in the past few days, three thousand soldiers from the palace have come here in shifts to train this kind of formation. It's up to you what happens to Yinzhou this time."
Liu Zheng asked Qin Changfeng.
"yes!"
Return to the county houfu.
Liu Zheng saw Shen Xing running towards him in a panic.
"What's the matter?"
Shen Xing sighed: "Sir, the scouts in the house have found out clearly that the bandits are indeed a group of scattered soldiers, not a thousand, but five thousand! This time Chen Kui hired the former deputy commander of Liangzhou. , known as the bitter-faced Yama, Luo Xiongchao!"
"What?"
Liu Zheng's face changed greatly when he heard this.
…
at this time.
Yangzhou Prefecture.
The singing and dancing are peaceful, the sound of silk and bamboo is played, and the wine is full of wine.
"Commissioner Chen, what a good plan!"
Lu Zhengyi was very happy and smelled of alcohol.
Chen Kui also drank a drink and sneered: "Look at the child with a yellow mouth this time, how to deal with it? Iron ore, do you want it or not?"
Everyone laughed.
Yes, it’s Liu Zheng’s death!
Just five thousand mercenaries are not something Yinzhou Mansion can stop.
don't want?
If you don't want to kill someone with a soft knife, take your time! If you ruin the reputation of Yinzhou Prefecture first, who will dare to do business in Yinzhou? Then, I will cut off all your escape routes.
Catching turtles in an urn.
"The Liu family and his son have done me a lot of harm! This time I will make their lives worse than death!"
Chen Kui was extremely arrogant.
Lu Zhengyi also laughed.
At this time, a woman screamed at the banquet. Lu Zhengyi couldn't help but frown, and saw Luo Xiongchao, a tall and powerful man at the table, tearing a maid to pieces. Several mercenary captains nearby were also enjoying it. The scene was very unbearable.
"this……"
Lu Zhengyi's face turned dark. He wanted to say that this was the county lord's mansion. How could he be so dissolute?
But looking at Luo Xiongchao's fierce momentum, he still swallowed those words alive.
Chen Kui said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Once things are done here, they will leave and won't cause any trouble to Yangzhou! Haha, think about the magic workshop in Yinzhou, what we have done in the past few days, and What does it count as?"
"Okay, okay, that's it, that's it!"
Lu Zhengyi shook his head and thought, these undisciplined mercenaries have been robbing civilian girls and doing evil things these days, and have made Yangzhou a mess. Isn't this a trouble?
But when he heard "Shengongfang", he couldn't help but feel greedy.
I heard that it is a place where money can be made!
"Lord Lu, victory is imminent and it becomes clear!"
"good!"
…
"What did you say?"
"Five thousand?"
Liu Zheng was startled.
Shen Xing smiled bitterly and nodded, and everyone frowned again.
In seven days, five thousand thieves.
There are three thousand soldiers from Yangzhou behind. Yinzhou seems to be in a desperate situation this time.
Who would have thought that Liu Zheng burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, God help me!"
