The Rise of the European Emperor

To tell the truth, watching Kahn training with these 250 muscle sticks, Marin felt very eye-catching.

why? The stick that Kahn taught them was really lacking in aesthetics, but kept waving it up and down, left and right. If there was a name for this stick, "Crazy Stick" would definitely be the right name.

Of course, using the mace to play the mad magic stick method is still very lethal. 250 muscle sticks, wearing invulnerable plate armor, holding a mace full of nails, rushed over and waved it up and down like crazy. Moreover, whoever touches the mace will have some flesh torn off from his body, hurting you to death... Such 250 invulnerable but amazingly destructive neuroses rush towards you, and ask if you are afraid?

If there is a musket team, naturally these 250 lunatics can be knocked down with platoons of guns. But where did the Indians have muskets? Their weapons are the same - earth bows and arrows, javelins, stone axes, throwing axes, wooden clubs... well, stone throwing...

Moreover, these weapons are all stone tools, not metal. With such a weapon, any attack on the full set of plate armor worn by these 250 muscle sticks will have no effect. At most, hit the joints and make them hurt.

Faced with their mace full of nails, however, the unarmoured Indians were out of luck. After being scratched by this mace, there are several blood holes or deep blood marks on the body immediately, and the pain is extremely painful. Even, it can make you lose your fighting power in pain. If the strength of these muscle sticks is stronger, the nails on the mace will be smashed into the flesh directly, and half their lives will be taken away directly. And if you smash it in the head, you will be knocked out in one move...

Therefore, the lethality of the "mace commando" using the mace is extremely amazing. Moreover, it can also bring fear to the other party.

Of course, if you don't want to kill them all, you can also replace these 250 perverts with ordinary wooden sticks, which can also beat the opponent to shit, but not a few people will die. With a mace, it is a bloody war, with a wooden stick, it is law enforcement to suppress troubles.

Generally speaking, what kind of weapon to use depends on what kind of tribe the opponent is. If a gentle tribe can conquer, try to use a wooden stick to wound, rather than smashing to death with a mace. If it is a radical tribe that cannot be conquered, it can only be killed with a mace.

The reason why Marin acquiesced to Kahn to teach them the nondescript "mad magic stick method" is because these 250 muscle sticks are all civilians who have not learned martial arts. Their biggest advantage is that they are strong and perverted. At this time, it was too late for them to learn martial arts from scratch. So, Kahn came up with a way-to teach them the mad magic stick...

The mad magic stick method is easy to use, and it is a range attack. On the battlefield, 250 invulnerable lunatics hold mace and rush into the enemy's line, and the destructive power is terrifying. Not to mention the Indians, the armies of civilized countries without muskets should be afraid when they encounter such a group of lunatics.

At the beginning, when Kahn first followed Marin as a servant, he didn't know martial arts at all. However, relying on this mindless and unruly "mad magic stick method", as well as his own terrifying power, both Marin and Schwartz were tortured by blood during the foot battle. Even the humanoid monster Adler was beaten by Kahn's "mad magic stick" during the foot-battle...

Later, because there are good martial arts guys such as Schwartz and Adler to teach Kahn martial arts, Kahn becomes more and more perverted. Today, 10 years later, Kahn is invincible not only on foot, but also on horses.

Back then, when Kahn picked up his stick, it was a fast, powerful smash. Now, after ten years of practicing martial arts, Kahn's mace is still fast and powerful, but the direction of the attack is the key to the opponent. In the art of war, it is "the enemy must be saved". Opponents who used to be smashed for a long time to defeat can now be smashed with a few sticks...

However, martial arts are not so easy to connect. Kahn was Marlin's attendant for ten years and practiced for ten years before he was able to reach that level.

And the 250 muscle sticks in front of them are obviously zero-based. And, Kahn knew, the Marin needed them to get up to speed quickly. Therefore, random, purely instinctive, but extremely destructive "mad magic stick method" has become the first choice.

Perhaps, a plate-armored infantryman using the mad magic stick method has a weakness, and it is easy to be attacked by someone taking advantage of the weakness. However, 250 muscle sticks, wielding the mace, and using the "mad magic stick method" of area attack, rushed over, even Lu Bu had to escape. At least, Kahn feels that he can't single out these 250 "neuropathy"...

Because the mace is too lethal, Kahn finally made the distance between each of these guys 1.5 meters. Because the dancing mace of these gangs filled those gaps.

When 250 muscle sticks waved the mace and charged together, the "mace wind" that was blowing was basically a meat grinder, and it was a tragedy for anyone to touch...

Suddenly, Marin wanted to form a mace commando on the mainland. If the opponent does not have muskets and artillery, this gang of crazy commandos can completely catch the opponent by surprise, even if it is the Swiss phalanx, it can also charge...

...

However, Marin also knows that these perverts also have weaknesses. That is, if your physical strength is exhausted, you can only lie there and wait to be captured.

Therefore, after careful thinking, Marin gave these muscle sticks, and also matched the corresponding arms, as echoes and cover.

As for what kind of weapons? After thinking twice, Marin chose the Musketeer and the Sword and Shield Soldier...

What the musketeer does not need to talk about is the guarantee of long-range strike power and the main output power. The Sword and Shield Soldiers were mainly the cover troops for the Musketeers and the Wolf-Tooth Commandos.

After all, if the Wolf Tooth Commando is running out of strength, the sword and shield soldiers can go up and bring back the weak Wolf Tooth Commando soldiers under protection. Likewise, musketeers are vulnerable to opposing archers. Sword and Shield Soldiers can also escort the Musketeers to keep them safe.

Moreover, sword and shield soldiers are not only auxiliary. If the soldiers are short-handed, the sword and shield soldiers can kill the enemy and charge. If the opponent wants to use the archer to attack from a distance, the sword and shield soldier can cover the musketeer to shoot against it.

Generally speaking, ordinary sword and shield soldiers use round shields the size of the lids of cooking cauldrons. If it is an iron shield, the general infantry will definitely not be able to hold it. Therefore, it can only be a wooden shield.

However, the wooden shield alone could not stop the slashing of the heavy battle axe and the smashing of the heavy hammer. Therefore, the outside of the wooden shield needs to be covered with a layer of iron to strengthen the shield's defense.

As for armor... Sword and Shield Soldiers, as auxiliary arms, must not wear heavy armor. Otherwise, the physical strength will not keep up. However, as a defensive unit, it cannot be without armor...

Therefore, sword and shield soldiers must be equipped with a kind of light armor with high protection. The first thing that Malin thought of was rattan armor. After all, in his previous life, Malin had watched a lot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and knew that rattan armor was a very good armor in the age of cold weapons.

However, Marin did not have the technology to make rattan shells, nor did he have the tung oil specially used to make rattan shells. Therefore, Marin can only give up. Then, Marin thought of paper armor again, but, for the same reason - there is no relevant technology...

Next is the cotton armor, but, not to mention that Marin doesn't have that much cotton yet, and there is no related technology, the weight of the real cotton armor alone is too much for the infantry...because, the real one with iron lining Cotton armor, the total weight reached 40 pounds. The Manchu Eight Banners cotton armor, that is, the assault squad, was so heavy. Infantrymen wearing such heavy armor could not run at all.

Therefore, in the TV series, only those eight-flag masters will wear cotton armor. Because they were on horseback, and the infantrymen wore commoners with the word "Courage" on their bodies, and went on like this...

Then, Marin thought of wicker armor. In a previous life, Malin saw a post on the Internet saying that during the Warring States Period of the Japanese village chief, some princes were too poor to equip their soldiers with metal weapons and armor. Participated in the fight between the village chiefs... The reason why the samurai sword is so sharp is that it is said to be used to cut wicker armor...

Thinking of the wicker armor, Marin recalled the wicker baskets he used in his previous life, which seemed to be really strong...

However, whether it is Europe or America, there seems to be no willow trees. The willow trees in Europe and the United States seem to be imported from China later. Even, even bamboo...

Therefore, any wicker armor is also excluded...

In the end, Marin finally thought of a suitable armor - wooden armor...

Of course, not the plate armor made of wood, but the armor made of wood chips. Speaking of this Zhajia, Marin unconsciously remembered the bamboo cushion on his office chair in the summer of his previous life. It seems that wearing a bamboo seat cushion directly will provide good protection...

What Marin wanted to do was to use wood chips to join together to make a tie. Moreover, this technology is readily available. Because the hem of the horse armor of a knight's warhorse is a tie. As long as you find a craftsman who is good at making horse armor, you can easily make tie armor from wood chips.

However, if only wood chips were used, the armor would have poor protection. Therefore, Marin planned to nail small iron sheets to the outside of those wood chips. There is iron sheet outside, even if it is not very thick, it can play a great blocking role, preventing the wood chip armor from being damaged by the enemy.

In addition, the breastplate of the sword and shield soldier is made of a whole piece of wood, and the outside is covered with iron. And, it's a three-quarter breastplate. Such a breastplate does not affect the twisting of the soldier's waist.

As for the three-quarters of the breastplate below, it is the hem of the skirt made of wood pieces covered with iron. As for the helmet, although it is also a wooden helmet covered with iron, Marin still thinks that the iron is thicker. Otherwise, being shot in the head by an Indian bow and arrow is also easy to die...

After thinking about it, Marin ordered the craftsman workshop on the side of the high-level reservoir in Lyle County to select craftsmen who can make horse armor, and use wood chips and iron sheets to make armor for swords and shields.

Soon, the sample was made, and Marin ordered it to be weighed. Because it was mainly wood chips, the weight was not large, only 19 pounds. Not too heavy for those sturdy soldiers.

As for the number of musketeers and sword and shield soldiers, Marin decided to set it at 250 musketeers and 500 sword and shield soldiers. Counting the 250 muscular, stick-plate infantrymen, it was exactly 1,000. And this is the armed force Marin used to conquer Newfoundland...
