Chapter 741: Testing
"Today is the fifteenth day of Ben's personal training, and it is also the day that you have completed two months of training. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xia Hongsheng stood in front of the recruits and said: "Your physical fitness can now be further trained. The training in the first two months was just to exercise your physical fitness, and from today onwards, you will have to train some of the skills required for water combat. So today, I'm going to take a test. ”
Xia Hongsheng pointed to Qi Yong next to him, Qi Yong was holding a crossbow in his hand, and there were a lot of crossbow arrows piled up beside him. However, if you look closely, you can see that none of the crossbow arrows have arrows on them.
However, on Qi Yong's other side, there was a bucket with smoke in it.
"See? Later, there will be oars waiting to be sent into the water, some distance from here. Somewhere, Ben would have overturned the boat and the others fell into the water. Xia Hongsheng continued to say to those recruits: "The place where the envoy is now is the place where the enemy army is on guard. As the soldiers of the Tang Naval Division, you must come from the water, force the landing, and repel the enemy troops stationed there - that is, them! ”
After that, Xia Hongsheng pointed with his hand, only to see a group of people running down from the side, and when he ran to the front, he saw that all of them were fully armed, just like Qi Yong, holding bows and crossbows, and carrying bows and arrows without arrows on their backs.
"They don't show mercy, they shoot with these bows and crossbows." Xia Hongsheng said: "Of course, this is just a small test, and it won't really be like on the battlefield, Ling Er and others will die." So the arrows were removed, but the force of the crossbow was great, and bruises and pain were inevitable. They would dip their arrowless arrows in paint, and if they were shot, they would leave a mark on their bodies. If it hits a limb, it is unusable and can be thrown forward, and if it hits a fatal point, it is considered dead, and it is withdrawn immediately without delay. There can be no deception. There will be someone to supervise you and so on. Of course, this is the first time you have waited for a landing test, so General Ben has arranged the difficulty to the lowest, and has he seen that white line? All you have to do is cross the white line, and you're done. Do you understand?! ”
"Got it!" The recruits shouted. After two months of training, they have become forbidden Datang recruits. Although it cannot be called a truly qualified Datang soldier, it already has some characteristics and advantages of a Datang soldier.
"Good!" Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Get on board!" ”
"All of them, backwards—turn!" The lieutenant shouted and ordered: "Ten people for a boat, run-go!" ”
The recruits ran in groups of ten toward the water's edge, even on the beach, with uniform and swift pace. The whole process did not drag the mud and water at all, and they went up to the iron assault boats that had been waiting on the shore for a long time.
The assault boats quickly rowed into the water.
Xia Hongsheng said to the people on the shore: "This is the first time they have tried to land, just to let them see the difficulty. You only use bows and crossbows, no other equipment, but you can't release water. ”
"Array!" The lieutenant gave another order, and the guards with bows and crossbows immediately set up a position along the coast, and the white line drawn was at the foot of the main army.
"Brother Sheng, these recruits are bare-handed and have no weapons, how can they break through the crossbow and come over the white line?" Li Chengqian waited until Xia Hongsheng finished speaking, and then asked in a low voice.
Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "In a real landing battle, what they are facing is not a bow and crossbow without arrows, but an enemy that is several times or even dozens of times larger, sharp bows and arrows, fire oil, and even bed crossbows, trebuchets...... In comparison, this is already the easiest. This time, it was not to really ask them to land, but to let them see the battle and know what they might face in the future. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly saw a wave of white flowers rising from the shore as far as his eye could see, and everyone knew that it was the recruits who had entered the water and began to swim towards him.
The captain looked at Xia Hongsheng, Xia Hongsheng estimated the distance, and then nodded.
Then, I saw that the captain's arm was raised, raised above his head, and then put it down vigorously: "The enemy has landed, crossbow arrows, release!" ”
As the sound fell, a crossbow arrow was suddenly shot into the air, densely like a large net, drawing a parabola in mid-air, and then falling into the sea below.
Suddenly, I saw a splash there, and in the midst of the splash, I could see some figures dodging back and forth. Or plunge into the water with a thudge.
The crossbow arrows fell into the water one after another, and I saw that the guards who were waiting in front of the line jumped into the water with crossbow arrows in their hands, waiting for them to swim over, and they were about to stab them with the crossbow arrows in their hands.
Behind them, a steady stream of crossbows shot out from a three-stage crossbow array, and for those recruits who were struggling to dive in the water, it was as many as splashes from the pavement.
There were people who swam away from the side, swam out of the range of crossbow arrows, and were picked up by the assault boat next to them and pulled onto the boat, and they were all "dead" soldiers who were "mortally wounded".
The bows and arrows fired from the crossbow array slashed their heads and covered their faces, and there was no room for the recruits to poke out a little bit of their bodies or take a step closer to the shallows.
Rushing forward, the crossbow arrows were too dense, and then retreating. Retreat, then charge, and retreat. Under the stalemate, the time of half a pillar of incense soon passed.
Suddenly, he suddenly heard an "ouch" sound in the crossbow array, and saw a soldier's hand shrink, and the bow and crossbow in his hand fell to the ground.
Everyone immediately found out that it was a stone flying from the side and hit their hands hard, and several people around them immediately formed a circle back to back, guarding the surroundings.
Xia Hongsheng's eyes lit up and he laughed.
I saw a few stones suddenly fly out from the side, and they had been discovered by the soldiers who had surrounded the city back to back, and they were all crossbow arrows.
Clinker, just as it was about to shoot at the side where the stone was flying, a piece of sand suddenly rose from here, and then several figures roared out from between the sand, and the sand in their hands fell into the face of the soldiers in the crossbow array. While shaking the sand, he roared and spread his arms and rushed into the crossbow array, immediately bringing a group of people over.
The rhythm of the crossbow array shooting suddenly became a gap, and those recruits in the sea saw the opportunity and immediately rushed up frantically.
They rushed into the crossbow array and overthrew the soldiers in the crossbow array to the ground.
As more and more people rushed up and rushed into the crossbow array, the crossbow array had collapsed, and it was no longer able to organize effective blockades.
"Victory!" The group of recruits shouted one by one, and soon joined into a cheer: "Datang Wansheng!" Datang Wansheng! (To be continued.) )
