"I am also very satisfied with you."
"Alright, no matter how much you praise me, I can't guarantee that I can hold on. But I'm mentally prepared. From this moment on, I will do everything I can. I've never risked my life for anyone before, but this time, I will pour my heart and soul into paving a path for us through the wilderness and thorns."
I believe you.
"Your Highness, the General's wife, it's about to begin."
"Ahead!" Wang Chenfei shouted.
They all looked up and saw agile soldiers, one after another, raising their long guns and firing at the fixed targets.
In the first batch, no one managed to hit the target.
After several rounds, a hundred or so spears were stuck upside down in the ground like reeds, scattered haphazardly, some at a distance and some at close range, clearly showing how shoddy their so-called training was.
"That's it?" Zheng Quchi raised an eyebrow.
Huo Ting said awkwardly, "These days, javelins are rarely used in combat. Besides, the weight of these javelins ranges from tens to hundreds of pounds. Soldiers already expend energy on the battlefield, and after throwing them a few times, they will be exhausted. They are not as durable as swords and spears, and for long-range combat, they are not as good as bows and arrows..."
“In large-scale battles, javelins are indeed somewhat useless, but they are not without their advantages. In small-scale guerrilla warfare, close combat, and defensive battles, they are quite outstanding,” Zheng Quchi said.
Her words were not verified. Unfashionable combat methods are outdated and generally not advisable. Therefore, Huo Ting only agreed with skepticism, saying, "Oh, I see."
After the soldiers finished throwing their javelins, Wang Feichen jogged over and said, "Madam, no one's javelins hit the target."
"Move ten meters closer and continue."
"yes."
In the second round, a few people did get close, but none hit the bullseye.
So Zheng Quchi said, "Move it another ten meters."
"yes."
This time, about ten people hit the target. Liu Chaiji was particularly outstanding. He hit the target directly and fell to the ground. His accuracy was not perfect, but he was the only one who hit the target so far.
At this point, most of the soldiers began to sweat, and the strength in their arms was waning.
Wang Feichen came over to report again. He thought that the madam would let them move closer, after all, out of three hundred people, only a dozen or so had achieved results, while the rest hadn't even touched the edges, which meant that the distance of the target was still too far.
Zheng Quchi said this time, "Let them rest for a while, then let Liu Chaiji step forward alone. I will teach him a proper throwing posture."
Wang Feichen was taken aback: "The correct throwing posture?"
What is this? When did the General's wife learn about this?
Yuan Xingzhou hadn't expected her to personally demonstrate, but he didn't say anything. Huo Ting and the others who had witnessed her "strength to uproot mountains and awe-inspiring presence" thought that the General's wife was going to strike someone down again.
Zheng Quchi stood on the drill ground, holding a long spear in his hand. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, three hundred spear-throwing soldiers stood in neat rows to the side, resting and watching. Liu Chaiji was called out and stood behind Zheng Quchi to give a close-up demonstration.
