The Heavenly Jewel Change
Chapter 08: The Strange Black Pearl (4)
Of course, there was also the disadvantage of the big bow, which was that the archer had to have a strong body and constitution, have great skills in various fields, which was why he had to have a strong body and constitution, and the ability to work well with each other. This meant long training and joint battles before the archery unit matured.
The importance of archers in the army was not to be questioned anymore, especially for the Heavenly Bow Empire. In fact, when Zhou Weiqing's father was younger and still a commander, he led an army of archers in a battle model of success for archers. At that time, their opponent was the Kalise Empire on their southern front, whose army was mostly made of cavalry.
At that time, Admiral Zhou had chosen a gentle slope that the Kalise Army would cross and made an ambush.
At that time, the Heavenly Bow Empire's archery army consisted of only 2,000 people, divided into 3 units. Units covering used trees and trenches are used as cover, and units covering the right have the river as a natural barrier cover; the last unit was behind the other two and was personally led by Admiral Zhou himself. In front of each unit, there were about 150 heavily descended cavalry troops equipped with heavy tower shields in a 6-row protective formation. With such a formation that most archers, and facing over 3 times their numbers in the enemy cavalry, they had won in a convincing slaughter party. This was also the battle that pushed Admiral Zhou to fame, and brought him to the upper echelons of the ranks of the Heavenly Bow Army.
Knowing his father's history, when Zhou Weiqing held a bow, he could not help but feel a sense of passion and excitement. As the son of his father, he had trained with a large bow before, but holding such a large bow that existed on the battlefield only felt different.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Weiqing held the bow in his left hand, while expertly using his thumb, index and middle fingers to retract the drawstring, he said, using his power to unshakably draw the bow into a perfect crescent moon, aiming forward.
The soldier's eyes sparkled, and he exclaimed in praise: "Good! Little bro, you have used the bow before the right, a very standard action, but let's see how accurate you are. For us archers, as long as we have good accuracy, we are very important in the squad. ”
With the right posture, how could Zhou Weiqing be inaccurate? After all, as long as Zhou Weiqing's father was at home, he was happy to "torture" his son with training. Although Zhou Weiqing was unable to cultivate, but in terms of training in various weapons and battles, he definitely had the best training. Even when the Admiral was at work, he would still provide training for Zhou Weiqing to complete, and would even check after. If he fails the check.. hehehehe ..
As a result, Zhou Weiqing not only knew how to shoot, but was also extremely accurate, which was also one of the reasons why he was so happy to choose to join the archer unit. After all, the Heavenly Bow Empire was famous in the region for its archers, and Admiral Zhou definitely gave him a lot of training in the area.
After taking a position for a while, Zhou Weiqing slowly laid down the bow, not even out of breath and his back was straight. After all, he was still 13 years old, and although his strength was no weaker than an ordinary adult, he still could not maintain that position for too long.
"All right, that's enough. Little friend, from now on you are one of our brothers in the archery battalion. Our battalion was part of the 5th Regiment of the troops, and the 5th Regiment had a total of 10 battalions of which 4 were archers, and we were of the 3rd battalion.
In the Boundless Land, the army formations in the various countries were almost the same.
10 People to the Army
10 Troops (100 men) to the Company
10 Battalions (10rb men) to the Regiment
10 Regiments (100k men) to the Field Army Group
Of course, the Heavenly Bow Empire's army did not consist of a Field Army Group, its entire army consisted of 5 Regiments, with a total of 50 thousand soldiers.
"Ah? Is it for the exam? '' Zhou Weiqing asked in surprise.
The archer replied with a laugh, “Why? Do you think it'll be harder? We recruited a new army that did not choose a son-in-law, as long as the recruits were healthy and in good condition, and were able to draw a bow, it was considered a pass, you may only reach 16 years old, and you will continue to grow tall so there will be no problems there. More importantly, all recruits will have 3 months of basic training. Of course we will not send any new candidates to the battlefield. All right, now go over to that side to pick up your equipment. Little friend, let me tell you that you are very lucky to enter our 3rd battalion, you will know why when you see our battalion commander personally handing out the equipment there. ”When he spoke, he put a tick on Zhou Weiqing's form before returning it to him.
Archers gave Zhou Weiqing directions to the temporary headquarters of the battalion located not far from the field, most likely it was not arranged for long, and there were still carriages delivering goods there.
Will he be a real soldier now? Since young, Zhou Weiqing had been scolded by his father for being a useless vagrant, and he had never felt such a feat today. Although the previous test was very simple, but he had graduated with his own abilities. Zhou Weiqing pushed his chest forward proudly as he walked towards the Battalion headquarters.
When he entered the headquarters, the form in his hands was his entry permit at the various guard checkpoints, and with the direction from the guards he was able to easily locate the 3rd battalion headquarters. In front of a large warehouse was a sign that read: New Recruitment Report is here.
Zhou Weiqing was very excited now, and rushed towards the warehouse and raised his hand to get rid of the curtains to enter. In an unbelievable coincidence, as he raised his hand forward, someone walked out at the same time. It was summer, and the curtains at the headquarters were very thin, and mostly just to repel mosquitoes. Due to Zhou Weiqing's excitement, his actions were huge, and in grabbing the curtain, he also grabbed something round, soft, yet supple. Zhou Weiqing squeezed involuntarily, and at the same time there was a hard hmph from the tip before he was expelled.
His kick was not too heavy, but Zhou Weiqing was still thrown behind 7 steps, almost landing on his butt. The curtain is pushed to the side and someone comes out.
It was a beautiful young girl, looking to be around 16 years old, about 1.7 m tall and very slender. He had blue hair tied to a ponytail, and was wearing a black uniform, which Zhou Weiqing recognized as the battalion's commander uniform. Of course, he was not wearing any armor that would equip the entire equipment of the battalion commander.
Princess Difuya was already extremely beautiful, but not comparable to this young lady who was far superior in terms of looks. Her skin was as smooth and milky as it was, and her most dazzling specialty was a dazzling pair of dazzling light blue big eyes that were soft and almost perfect. Its features were blameless, giving anyone who looked at it the impression of being as gentle as water.
As he looked at the young girl, Zhou Weiqing was stunned when he realized that he knew her. Although he had only seen her once from afar, but he definitely left an impression on her back then. The reason for that was because the girl in front of him was the genius of the Heavenly Bow Empire in the younger generation, and was also known as the top beauty of the empire. His name is Shangguan Binger.
