Starting from blacksmithing, riding and chopping Europe

Chapter 15 Walking Therapy
"Character level up!"

"One-handed upgrade!"

"Acquire Specialty-Swift Strike (One-handed weapon swing speed +2%)"

The sharp whistle stopped.

The dark night returned to silence.

"call"

Looking up at the moon, Feng Daofu turned off the panel, shook his slightly flexible hand, and his fast beating heart gradually calmed down.

Not counting the time with Gray Wolf, not counting the usual sparring sessions, this was his first real battle.

The class size is only 30 to [-] people, and it is a big tailwind, which has a huge psychological advantage.

But at the moment of the raid, Vondorff would still be nervous, excited, frightened, and adrenaline soaring.

This is an animal instinct suppressed by civilization.

It is a mechanism evolved to survive under the cruel law of survival of the fittest in nature.

When he felt the vibration of the bone hitting the human body.

When he saw his enemy's eyes changing from anger to despair.

When a hammer smashed out teeth and blood.

Scarlet flashed before his eyes, the smell of blood entered his nostrils, and screams and roars rang in his ears.

At that moment, Feng Daofu's heart beat to explode.

The oxygen pump is moving straight to the brain, and there is no need to actively focus on receiving and responding to dynamic images, and only react instinctively to external stimuli.

Swing, move, hammer another.
Just like blacksmithing, all actions are purely reflexive.

There is no pain, no subjective emotion, only inexhaustible strength.

Until the battle is over and the boiling subsides.

Everything has returned to calm.

"Better than when fighting gray wolves. He got the upper hand but not fully. He still remembers to command the soldiers."

Feng Daofu was faintly weak.

This is the price of the adrenaline rush.

Fortunately, after being weak for a while, it was wiped away by the super-high-speed metabolism.

It seems to remove the bitterness of this experience, leaving only the good taste.

"Such a weird balance of excitement and calm, it's a wonderful and addictive feeling. Is this passively turning me into a war madman?"

Vondorff recalled other memories to soften the feeling.

Otherwise, if he gets used to it, it might really feel like playing a game.

Objectively speaking, the physiological mechanism is indeed similar.

Losing the key round of a game with a million-dollar prize means losing a year of hard work.

Driven by the eagerness to win, he enters a highly concentrated state of selflessness.

Until the end of the game, I slumped on the chair tiredly, and then I was misunderstood whether I secretly rewarded myself.

Playing a game, it is rare for people who can calmly make judgments and command teammates in this state, let alone a real fight.

"Similar, but only similar, and the intensity of stimulation is very different."

Fondorf turned his head and saw a Norwegian resisting with a dagger drawn.

This senior fighter showed a head-high strength compared to ordinary North fighters, but the gap in equipment was too large, and he was subdued by the North fighters in a short while relying on their armor advantage.

Surrey, who was accidentally scratched by the dagger, touched his chest, and his face, which was still smiling just now, immediately stinks: "The armor was cut a little?!"

"Norwegian who should be fed to the wolf!"

Sarri yelled and kicked the Norwegian down.

This ferocious and ferocious expression was completely different from his usual honest and honest look.

The other Norse fighters didn't stop them, and watched cheerfully.

When Sarri got a little angry and was about to go too far, Vondorf stopped him and said, "Stop it, Sarri."

Sari paused and stopped obediently, still a little angry.

Feng Daofu said with a smile: "This battle is won, and everyone's linen armor will be repaired for free!"

"It's too late today, everyone go back to sleep early, and tomorrow we will hold a banquet to celebrate, and everyone can drink a glass of vodka."

Surrey suddenly laughed again, and the others cheered when they heard that there was vodka.

Vodka is a by-product of distilling sterilizing alcohol. The output is not much, but it is enough to reward a dozen people.

After boosting morale, Vondorf found Brooke: "The leader of the Norwegians is very capable. If you hadn't seriously injured him with an arrow, things would not have been solved so easily tonight."

"It can be accurately hit at night, how do you do it?"

Fondolf asked curiously.

Brooke looked serious: "Everything is guided by Io."

Fondolf: "?"

Brooke said: "It's too dark at night, and I can't guarantee an accurate chest hit from a distance of tens of meters. If I can do it, it must be Io."

"Everything is not the master, only Io!"

"Everything is not the master, only Io!"

The other warriors and hunters all chanted silently, looking like devout believers.

Feng Daofu subconsciously remained inscrutable and felt a little confused inside.

seriously?
Why doesn't my faith leader seem to understand Io like you?

It feels a little weird...

Looking at the diplomatic experience from the corner of the corner of his eye, Feng Daofu didn't know whether to be happy or not.

Forget it, buddy, let's do product research.

Military equipment always needs actual combat testing to expose problems.

Linen armor exposes a shortcoming: it is puncture-proof but not cut-proof.

The performance of this unpopular armor is good in all aspects.

In modern terms, linen is a fiber-reinforced material, and the gum used to bond multiple layers of linen can also increase defense strength.

The 30-layer linen + deerskin armor is better at resisting bows and arrows than the early chain mail.

Linen armor + copper plate core/low carbon steel core, even comparable to the early plate armor, Alexander said it was hard after using it.

North linen armor only used 20 layers due to tight production time, immature child labor technology, and combat needs.

No buckskin or copper plate, 1.3 cm thick when compressed.

The tightness of weaving of linen, which affects performance and weight, only uses 10 warp threads per centimeter. It is not as good as using high-quality linen with 21 warp threads.

It's not the unscrupulous master Vondorf's reduction of work and materials to reduce costs.

It's all about lighter weight!

The linen cloth with 10 warp yarns is only 365 grams per square meter, and it is only 20 kilograms after 7.3 layers of compression.

According to the material used = single piece cutting area * square meter weight.

The algorithm for using materials for a large body is (bust + 6CM) * (length + 6CM) * 2 * weight.

Counting the material used for the sleeves and the weight of the adhesive, the average weight of a North linen armor is only 14 kilograms, which is three to five kilograms lighter than chain mail!
It doesn't seem like much, but as long as you have the experience of carrying too much three to five kilograms of stuff when you go to school or work, you will understand how big the weight advantage of North Linen Armor is.

The performance will be worse, but it can also prevent the puncture of the Viking spear and the Viking hunting bow effectively. After adding the shield, the defensive configuration is sufficient, and the light weight in exchange can play a greater role.

Mr. Vondorff has thought deeply about it!
In short, there are many advantages, but there are also many problems.

Vondorf solved the most fatal waterproofing problem, but there was no way to solve the nature of this fiber fabric that is afraid of being cut.

Fiber fabrics have been developed into Kevlar bulletproof vests. In the early days, they were still bulletproof but not cut-proof, and it was only improved in the later technological progress.

Feng Daofu also can't solve this problem.

Fortunately, this small flaw is not a big problem, because everyone in the Germanic tribes is a spearman + archer, and the main type is piercing damage.

The backwardness of smelting technology has led to the lack of qualified swords among the Germanic tribes, and it is not bad to be able to match a dagger.

——Usually, short knives below 45 cm should be hard, and long knives above 45 cm should be tough. The longer the weapon size, the more tough it is, and the hardness is second.

Anyone can make hard and brittle pig iron, but wanting a hard and flexible sword is not that simple.

Therefore, linen armor's fear of cutting is not a problem in Northern Europe where swords are lacking - axes cause blunt cuts, not cutting injuries.

Since it is not a problem, the linen armor has only advantages, and it provides full performance at a low cost.

On the basis of having good protection capabilities, it also ensures mobility and combat sustainability, and it is also cheap.

Linen Jia doesn’t look down on you for being poor, so don’t look down on Linen Jia either.

What kind of armor to use depends on the weapon used by the opponent.

Protective gear is to make it as light as possible while providing sufficient protection.

The feedback from Vine Shield was also perfect.

The rattan armor is rubbish, but the rattan shield and rattan plate are treasures, and Grandpa Qi agreed.

The protective power is sufficient and it is light. It not only takes into account the shield wall, but also increases the individual combat effectiveness after the formation is spread out. This also comes from the lighter weight.

The rattan shield has the same size of 80 centimeters as the Viking buckler, but weighs only about 3 kilograms, which is a full kilogram lighter than the original Viking buckler, which was about 4 kilograms.

Because the buckler's mechanical structure is not good, it is more laborious to use, and active defense requires additional energy to provide kinetic energy.

Being able to lose 1 kilogram can already greatly improve combat sustainability.

And it's 1kg lighter. I couldn't roll over before, but now I can. This is a world of difference!

There is no invincibility frame in reality, but you can hit the hob with a shield. For other people who can't protect their knees with Viking bucklers, this advantage is too great.

The Norse warriors with enhanced protective equipment, while maintaining the mobility of light infantry, have nearly 8% of the protection of heavy infantry, and can also spread out and fight in melee.

Even if they fight head-on against senior Norwegian warriors, the North warriors will have a better chance of winning in the end.

"The actual combat has proved that there is no problem with my equipment design ideas, and the production can be expanded, but the people who use the equipment."

Feng Daofu looked at the captured Norse warrior with a rough attitude.

He could understand their attitude.

After personal experience, Feng Daofu deeply understood the mental impact of a life-and-death fight with real swords and guns.

They are all human beings, and they are all afraid. Most of the Norse fighters are still illiterate, so don’t expect them to have any ideal awareness. If you feel pressure, of course you have to vent it on the enemy.

Even a man of noble character like Feng Daofu, after experiencing a life-and-death fight with the gray wolf, still needs the help of Da Maoluo and Margaret. He can fall into a wave of pressure in their arms and squeeze out the remaining fear.

Sarri was only worried about money, and there were no casualties among his comrades. He easily resolved the battle without accumulating any pressure, so he was willing to obey his order to stop.

to be replaced by a brutal siege battle
In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, for a long period of time, the plundering of occupied areas has been regarded as the performance bonus that soldiers deserve by default.

My hometown has been around for 5000 years, and the only three armies that have been able to fulfill the three stipulations of the agreement, and the army and the people have never violated it, are the Yue Jiajun, Qi Jiajun and so on. This already illustrates the difficulty.

Li Shimin, who was militarily stronger than Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, when he personally conquered Goguryeo, ordered that no massacre or looting be allowed after the city was broken, and the three armies immediately made a fuss and almost mutinied.

In the end, he used his own small treasury to distribute the bonus to appease the military anger.

——But this point is that the Koryo people are at the end of their fight and want to surrender. A group of generals headed by Xu Ji said that the war has reached this point. What is the purpose of the soldiers coming so far?What should I do if I get promoted and start robbing the city as promised at the beginning?There was a risk of mutiny if this order was passed down, so Taizong personally paid for it.

Feng Daofu looked at this group of people and didn't think he could be better than Taizong militarily.

Fortunately, he is not without advantages.

The left hand is faith, the right hand is money.

The ability to make money is the most important thing.

Grandpa Ma said that he is a materialist.

There is a spiritual effect, but it is auxiliary substance.

Enough material can talk about spirit.

The military pay of the Yue family army was the highest in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were private property transactions, and the equipment for the Beiwei army's solo riding was as high as hundreds of silver, which was equivalent to driving a luxury car per capita.

The average monthly salary of Qi soldiers is 1.5 taels, which is twice that of other armies at the same time.

Disciple soldiers are even more well-paid and have enough food every month. Whether you are a marshal or a general, you must eat and live with the soldiers and be strictly supervised to avoid drinking the blood of soldiers.

All three can be done because of money.

The soldiers tried their best to make money, cut off layers of exploitation, and directly collected taxes from farmers end-to-end.

Just deintermediation, without middlemen to make profit, can directly kill 99% of other forces in the same period.

Sell ​​mines all over the world, pull warlords to do business, fight landlords, levy taxes, and the fragrance of flowers in Nanniwan is so strong that no one wants to buy them.

Even the Chinese character Yingyang was printed.

Just like running the rivers and lakes to learn a lot, creating a new world also requires you to be able to make money.

If the army is paid enough, the army will naturally be free from crime.

This is true of all disciplined armies throughout history.

It is equivalent to a company that gives you a salary that is twice the market price, returns shares + provident fund + commercial medical insurance, respects people, and takes the lead in doing things without throwing the pot away.

Even if a company like this works overtime every day, there are still so many people working hard!

If you don't give money but still pay attention to your feelings and spirit, I will slow down!

Still wolfish.

The wolves disbanded when they had nothing to eat, and went their separate ways, wolf nature?
They are all ordinary people with seven emotions and six desires.

Only when material supplies are sufficient can we talk about faith.

Feng Daofu believes in his ability to make money.

The material problem is not big, but the spiritual construction is a bit difficult.

The reason why the Yuejia Army and Qijia Army cannot increase in size is because of the lack of ideologically qualified soldiers.

The disciple soldiers have also experienced the pain of internal purification countless times, and it took a huge amount of time, energy and material resources to complete the transformation.

In the early days of the new moon, there was equality between officers and soldiers, religious zeal, no wrongdoing, and good treatment of infidels. However, it also experienced the great purification of countless hypocrisy incidents, and also experienced attempts such as Hanbali, Hassan Banna, revival, and secularism, and it quickly expanded. Crossing is also purifying and does not move.

Norse fighters naturally also need to be purified.

Today's adult soldiers are typical bandit soldiers, brave and cruel, with low training cost and short time consumption.

There are fewer moral constraints, so it is more direct, more violent, and more cruel.

Useful, but use with caution.

Transforming them is not a small amount of work.

Vondorf intends to train a new generation, but does not give up on them.

"All are children of Io, and all come from the same ancestor."

Feng Daofu interpreted the concept of the new moon on the spot: "The Norse are not superior to the Norse, and the Norse are not superior to the Norse. All petitioners are brothers."

"Of course, they made a mistake. Because of this mistake, they will become our slaves and pay with labor."

The values ​​​​of the believers cannot be too far apart at the beginning, so it is impossible to abolish the traditional slavery of the Norse.

But slavery would affect missionary work, and Von Dolf also looked down upon this inefficient system.

There are better ways to squeeze labor than slavery, and squeeze them to make you grateful.

This is no better than slavery.

later...

Feng Daofu said: "As long as they are willing to convert to Io, your slaves are your brothers and sisters."

"Are you willing to convert?"

Vondorf looked at the Norwegians who were listening with their ears pricked up.

The Norwegians looked at the unconscious leader, their eyes flickering and they remained silent.

Feng Daofu was not disappointed. After he secured them, he took the three hairy men with him and brought medical tools to treat them.

Except for Willie's bad luck, the others were all blunt injuries caused by Guduo.

Feng Daofu did not kill, blunt injury is not a big problem, Willy's arrow wound is not deep, and Brook used a tapered arrow, which is easy to deal with without barbs, just apply medicine to bandage.

For other people's blunt injuries, the fractures are reset manually, small branches are fixed with a simple splint, and internal injuries are prescribed herbal medicine according to the situation.

Vondolf preached while treating them: "They are human Valkyries who control sacred childbirth and sacred objects. They were once my slaves. Now that I have freed them, they also regard me as family and still live in the same house."

"Human freedom is given by Io. I will give a slave half of his body to be free. As long as you work hard to repay your mistakes, you can regain your status as a free citizen."

Looking at Feng Daofu, who seemed to be emitting holy light, and listening to the unprecedented theory, the group of Norwegians were completely confused.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "What do you really want?"

Of course, it is medical experience and tools.

By the way, let them lead the way to Tai... Shengjun, and find out the situation in Norway.

Feng Daofu smiled: "This question requires you to find the answer yourself."

After taking care of the last wounded person, I finally had enough experience.

"Medical skills upgrade!"

"Acquire expertise - Walking Therapy (healing speed +15% while moving, character can recover 10 points of life in each battle)"

Gou Ming's magical skills are in hand!

Feng Daofu, whose injury was completely healed, immediately found Margaret who was worried about coming over.

Feng Daofu said: "How have you been recently?"

Margaret snorted, "Are you addicted?"

Fondolf: "?"

Since you are so straightforward, I won’t hide it anymore, just come straight to it!
　The logistics in ancient times were not as good as in modern times, and non-combat attrition often occurred, and the ability of generals to manage soldiers was based on prestige and punishment.

　　If you love your soldiers like your own children, it would be nice if they could be paid normally. Beating, scolding, and abuse are commonplace.

　　In this environment, the mental stress of daily casualties is enormous.

　　Listening to the wails of his comrades, watching them die in pain, and the pressure in the military camp was so great, it was tantamount to a physical and mental torture for the soldiers.

　　If the commander-in-chief does not allow soldiers to bully the weak and vent their anger, the management of the army will be a huge challenge.

　　After you win, you say: In order to appease the hearts of the people, let's spread the word, and we can shed less blood in the future.

　　Kuhaha's big-headed soldiers will be able to cut off your head that night.

　　After working so hard, the general and the emperor took all the benefits, and I got nothing?

　　Don't ask the soldiers to work hard. If you don't pay wages, the employees will stop working!

　　Therefore, most generals will tacitly allow the soldiers to indulge after a big victory in order to maintain the so-called morale.
