Chapter 607: Super Zombies
The Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and they are invincible, and later this sentence was changed by the Ming Dynasty to "The Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and they are invincible!" ”
It can be seen that the bravery of the Jurchens is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
The Jurchen generals of the Qing Dynasty, especially the early ones, were absolutely elites, and fighting dozens of people by one person was the same as playing.
They can often kill people with a single punch and kick, and even if they say something unkind, they can poke someone to death with a single finger.
This is not an exaggeration at all, friends who have played bow and arrow must know that the bows used by our northerners in ancient times are compound bows, which have a much longer range than the short bows in the West, because the compound bow is strong and small, therefore, it can be used for cavalry archery, which is why the Mongolian cavalry can use cavalry to hang the European heavy armored cavalry.
The ancient Europeans did not invent the compound bow, only the longbow of England shot far and had great lethality, but the longbow was too big, so it could not be used on horseback, so the cavalry in Europe was all iron cans, and the charge was first-class, but after encountering the Mongolian cavalry and kite tactics, it was directly finished.
When your heavy cavalry charges, my light cavalry retreats, and while retreating, they turn back and give you arrows, and you can't catch up with me, you can't fight if you want to, and you can't run if you want to.
The armor of the heavy cavalry is very heavy, and friends who know the knowledge of ancient weapons in the West know that the heavy knights generally have one or two servants, who are responsible for wearing armor for the knights, otherwise, they can't wear it at all.
With such heavy armor, no matter how powerful the war horse is, it won't be able to support it for long. It didn't run far before the horse was exhausted. At this time. The hoplites slowed down and lost their combat effectiveness, and the Mongol light cavalry turned back and split into left and right wings, outflanked you from both sides, cut off your rear path, and then turned over and fired at you, and these hoplites became a live target.
In the end, he was not shot. were all wiped on their necks one by one by Mongolian scimitars.
Therefore, the Mongols are the second people after the Huns to be called the whip of God by Westerners.
After introducing the power of Mongolian cavalry archery here, let's talk about why cavalry archery is so powerful, the armor of European heavy cavalry, the thickest part of the iron armor is five millimeters thick, such a thick thickness, how to shoot arrows?
This brings us to the classification of Mongolian arrows, and the armor-piercing arrows are heavy. The range is short, but the armor-piercing ability is good. It is enough to shoot through the heavy armor of European knights, and even plate armor can shoot through, but when the Mongols went west, Europe had not yet invented plate armor, and if it was invented, it was useless and could not be carried.
However, if you want to shoot armor-piercing arrows, the requirements for shooting arm strength are also extremely high.
You can draw a bow of 200 catties on the ground, and if you get on a horse, you can only draw a bow of 80 catties at most, because you can't borrow strength right away.
And vice versa, if you can shoot a bow of 100 catties from a horse, then you can easily shoot a bow of 300 catties from a horse.
As we said above, the bows we used immediately in ancient times were all compound bows with short bodies.
The use of a compound bow is very different from that of a longbow, in which the bow is held in the left hand, the index and middle fingers of the right hand are clamped between the tail of the arrow, and then the bowstring is pulled apart along with the thumb, and then the bow and arrow are aimed obliquely at the sky to shoot the arrow.
Generally, before the archer team fires a salvo, there will be a test shooter, who will shoot an arrow first, determine the firing range, and then wait until the opposing troops reach the firing range before starting the salvo.
The archery method of the compound bow is different, the archer of the riding archery, it is impossible to use three fingers to pull the bowstring, one is slow, and the other is because the bow is small, it is impossible to aim with three fingers, so it is not accurate, only by reducing the number of fingers to pull the string as much as possible, in order to improve the speed and accuracy.
This is the experience summed up after a long period of actual combat, so when riding and shooting, if a person can shoot a bow of 80 catties, then, theoretically, the thumb of his right hand can bear at least 300 catties of strength, which is a finger.
It's terrifying to think about, but not to mention the power of three hundred catties, that is, if the power of eighty catties is concentrated on the bowstring, then the pressure is absolutely terrifying, enough to cut off people's thumbs.
Therefore, the Jurchens invented the wrench, which is the thing worn on the thumb, and later became a kind of plaything for the son's buddies.
With the protection of the wrench, the pressure of the fingers is weakened, but the force is not diminished in the slightest.
Therefore, if you see a person with a dark and thick callus on the inside of his thumb, you can safely guess that he is definitely a good shooter.
A finger that can bear the strength of 300 catties can poke a person to death, and it can really be easily poked to death.
In order to subdue Aobai, Kangxi trained more than a dozen sturdy guys, and used various conspiracies, such as chair legs, steamed teacups, etc., to subdue Aobai.
It is said that a single punch can kill a cow and a kick can kill a tiger.
Although it is only a legend of wild history, from the perspective of his early years of fighting with Nurhachi in the east and west, and living until the Kangxi era, this person's martial arts are indeed good.
Huo Xiaotian still knows a little bit about history, and after having these reserves of background knowledge, he also has a deep understanding of the military attache zombie in front of him wearing a three-grade leopard suit.
This guy must have been a strong martial artist when he was alive.
And the size of the zombie's ability also depends to a large extent on its physical condition before death, if the zombie's physical condition before death is good, coupled with the long-term nourishment of yin qi, the strength will naturally rise.
If the physical condition of the zombie is very poor before death, then, no matter how nourishing the yin qi is in the future, the strength will not be much stronger, and at best it can only serve as a cannon fodder or soy sauce.
And the zombie in front of him seems to have hung up in his prime, and his body is extremely powerful and majestic, and it can be seen from the momentum of his broken coffin that this is definitely a difficult guy to deal with.
Huo Xiaotian was like a great enemy, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
He held the titanium alloy knife tightly in his right hand, and with his left hand, he silently took out the Desert Eagle from the super download system, and suddenly fired three shots at the zombie's head.
To Huo Xiaotian's surprise, this zombie easily dodged Huo Xiaotian's shot, and at the same time, he didn't see how he exerted his strength, his body actually "swished", rose into the air, jumped directly into the air, and pounced towards Huo Xiaotian.
Seeing this, Huo Xiaotian hurriedly dodged, and rolled over on his side and narrowly dodged.
And Huo Xiaotian's body had just dodged, and where he had stood before, he was smashed down by the zombie into a pit half a meter deep.
Huo Xiaotian's heart tightened, and his eyes widened in astonishment, fortunately, he hid in time, if it was half a minute at night, wouldn't he be trampled to death by this zombie? (To be continued.) )
