The Rise of the European Emperor

In addition, in addition to 30,000 regular soldiers, Marin also specially selected 5,000 outstanding people who performed well in military training from 15,000 strong people, and established a chariot battalion.

These people also put on "mahjong mats" and motorcycle helmets. Of course, no iron pieces are nailed on the outside of the mahjong mat. Their task was to push Yu Dayou's unicycle and walk in front and to the side of the army.

In front of Yu Dayou's chariot, there are three sharp spearheads, which are firmly nailed to the front of the chariot to guard against the enemy's impact. In particular, the onslaught of enemy cavalry.

Once encountering the enemy, the chariots of the 5,000 chariot battalion will immediately punch holes in the ground with chisels. Then, insert the two rear leg supports of the unicycle into the chiseled holes. In this way, after the two rear legs of the unicycle are inserted into the soil, the entire unicycle will be fixed in place and will not be easily knocked over.

When the enemy cavalry rushes up, the three spearheads in front of the unicycle will string the enemy soldiers into a barbecue. Even if a war horse collides, it will be pierced and become a "roasted horse" posture...

When a row of Yu Dayou's unicycle chariots with their rear legs inserted into the soil were in front of the formation, the enemy would find it difficult to attack if they wanted to charge. Because the front section of this row of chariots is full of sharp spears, whoever rushes to who gets stabbed to death...

What? You said you wanted to poke these spears away? Sorry, but it was not held by a person, but fixed to the chariot. You can't move unless you cut the spear.

Of course, it should be pointed out that these spears have a length of more than 4 meters. Therefore, they are not usually fixed to the front of the car. Otherwise, the car will not be able to drive well. The vehicle behind cannot push too fast, otherwise, the person in front will be accidentally stabbed to death.

Therefore, the solution given by Marin is that all three spears are active. Usually, they are inserted upright on the car, like a flagpole. Once in formation, the chariot soldiers will quickly pull out the upright spear, insert it in front of the car, and lock it so that the spear is fixed in front of the car and always points forward...

The body of the chariot, connected to the handle of the cart, is more than 2 meters long. When the spear is stuck in front of the car, the total length exceeds 6 meters. And 6 meters long, is the length of the longest spear of Swiss mercenaries.

As a result, the combined length of the chariot and spear was more than 6 meters, which was longer than the Swiss spear. The Swiss could never take advantage of the length of the spear to stand in front of the car and stab the Marin soldiers behind the car.

This is when it is on defense, if it is replaced by offense, it will be easier. The chariot soldiers directly pulled up the rear legs of the unicycle, and pushed the unicycle and charged forward. The combination of a chariot and spear over 6 meters long, coupled with the kinetic energy of the chariot itself, slammed into the enemy so fiercely that even the most skilled Swiss mercenaries could not bear it. Either give in or die...

However, on the battlefield, the battle formation is so dense, almost crowded, how to back down? So, at that time, we can only fight for each other's lives, either you die, or I die... But how can someone with a spear hit a unicycle with three spears inserted?

Don't look at the Swiss spear, which is also 6 meters long. However, it is impossible for the Swiss to hold the bottom of the spear with both hands and use the front nearly 6 meters long to poke the enemy.

For balance, the Swiss tend to hold a 6-meter-long spear by the mid-rear part of the hand. Even if the arm strength is good, you have to hold the last 2 meters. In fact, the part in front of the body is generally only 4 meters or even less than 4 meters in length. That is to say, although the Swiss spear is 6 meters long, the distance from the spearhead to his chest is generally only about 4 meters, which cannot make full use of the full 6 meters of the spear. No matter how long it is, the spearman will not be able to hold the spear...

But Yu Dayou's unicycle is different. Although the spear is only 4 meters long, it can be inserted into a unicycle with an overall length of more than 2 meters, and it has a century length of more than 6 meters.

Moreover, unlike people holding spears, the cart soldiers can completely hold the long handle in their hands and push the cart to stab the enemy. The charioteer holding the end of the handle, the distance from the chest to the spearhead is almost 6 meters.

Longer than the Swiss.

When they stab each other, the Swiss will find that before they stab each other in the chest, the three spears on the other's car have stabbed themselves in the chest...

After testing, the use of Yu Dayou's chariot, plus the lengthened spear and the enemy's spear stab, definitely takes advantage...

The only problem is that Marin doesn't have that many qualified chariots...

Before, because it was a testing period. So, Marin only trained 100 chariots to observe the effect. Now, the effect is out. However, Marin had not had time to recruit and train the chariot troops. The war was about to ignite, so Marin had no time to train the chariot soldiers now.

So, Marin made a decision - to take the 100 skilled chariots who participated in the test as officers, and during the march, while marching, train the newly recruited 5,000 chariots.

Anyway, from Aurich to Lübeck, it takes a few days to walk. Exactly, along the way, the 100 experienced veteran drivers... oh no... veteran charioteers, just took the opportunity to train those young men who have just been recruited into charioteers.

The specific training items are mainly to quickly drill holes on the ground to place the rear foot support of the unicycle, and quickly pull out the three originally upright spears from the vehicle, place them on the front of the vehicle, and fix them.

In addition, there is also training to push the cart forward and collide with the enemy hard...

These projects, seemingly simple, are actually not easy. In particular, you want to line up 5,000 wheelbarrows in a tight row, leaving no gaps for the enemy. Moreover, digging holes for the unicycle rear leg supports also requires certain skills. When riding a horse, you need to measure the distance between the two burrows. Otherwise, there will be an embarrassing situation in which one of the two rear legs of the unicycle can be inserted into the hole and the other cannot.

It seems simple to pull out the originally erected spear and take it to the front of the car to install and fix it, but it is not easy to do it smoothly in wartime. Because, in the face of the menacing enemy army, many people will be flustered, make mistakes in the chaos, and screw things up.

Therefore, those veteran drivers and veteran drivers, their task is to train the rookies to be extremely calm. Even in the face of the enemy's charge, you must insist on inserting the three spears in place, and then you can climb back to the back of the car body and wait until the enemy attacks or takes the initiative to attack...

If there is a month, these are small things. However, the time for the outbreak of the war is very close now, and it will not be more than half a month before the war begins. Therefore, old drivers and new drivers have to work hard. Otherwise, we won't be able to keep up with the war...

If the combat power of the chariot battalion composed of 5,000 recruits cannot be used in this battle, then all the preparations and hard work of Marin will be in vain...

So, these days, those chariots have a very tight training mission. They must master the combat skills of skilled chariots in the shortest time, so as to shine in the next war. Marin has publicly promised that as long as he performs well in this battle, the serfs can also be promoted to nobles by leaps and bounds, and their status will be noble since then...

Most of the chariot soldiers in the chariot battalion were born serfs, so they were naturally moved by Marin's promise. After all, it is the best way for people at the bottom to change their fate by changing their backgrounds. Therefore, everyone's enthusiasm for training is also relatively high...
