Chapter 355: Giving Lao Tzu a headshot just after he came?
Every success does not come from chance, but more from the efforts made before success.
Just like now, Han Xin, who is standing on the Great Wall, looks condescendingly at the enemy and the enemy in front of him.
In his mind, he was planning how to train the soldiers in the next time to change horses without stopping.
Those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand will not understand no matter how much they say.
Stopping some distance before the battle to change horses can naturally achieve this effect.
But the fighter plane is fleeting, and it can be used in this way when attacking, but what if it is in pursuit?
This set of movements was very smooth and skillful, and it comprehensively highlighted the advantages that a man who grew up on the grassland.
Light, excellent equestrian.
These two points alone would make the Han army lose its advantage when pursuing.
Therefore, now in Han Xin's heart, there is another training that must be carried out next.
If this problem cannot be solved, even if the Han army rides on a war horse, it will be far from meeting expectations in terms of pursuit.
Moreover, compared with the Huns, almost every soldier of the Han army can be regarded as a heavy cavalry.
The twenty-two pounds of iron armor on his body alone was enough to make the Huns sigh.
With a snap of their fingers, the pursuing Huns began to adjust their goals.
Chasing and killing the Yue's people can no longer satisfy their desires, and obviously, this time they went south, their original target was not the Yue's people.
"Archer ready!" On the Great Wall, Han Xin looked at the distance between the two sides and gave a battle order in a calm tone.
Positional warfare is also an advantage of the Han army.
The main general is located behind the battle, condescending, the battlefield situation is clear at a glance, when to make what kind of orders, the main general who is outside the battlefield can be seen at a glance, and can also give instructions more accurately.
'Knock knock knock ......'
The special drum beat immediately sounded, and the five thousand people below raised the combat readiness level to the highest.
The first row of swordsmen at the front began to stick their swords diagonally into the ground, holding the hilt with both hands, and adjusting the position of the swords at any time according to the enemy's position.
Standing in the second row, the sword is held diagonally behind, ready to attack the enemy on the horse, not giving him a chance to attack his comrades in the first row.
In the third row, the horses are tied back and forth, and the swords are also pointed diagonally backwards, ready to attack the horses' legs.
The fourth row behaves in the same way as the third row, and the fifth row remains upright, ready to meet the enemy in the same way as it should be.
The archers behind him, with ring-headed knives hanging from their waists, and the first few rows of cavalry spears with three meters long beside them, holding the bow with one hand and pressing the bowstring with the other, and the cold arrows aimed diagonally upward.
The Han army used a strong bow, also known as a hard bow, which was the standard bow and crossbow of the infantry, and its advantage was that it had a long range and great lethality.
The disadvantage is that it takes a lot of effort to use, and warhorses often can't do this.
The range of the strong bow is 100 paces, and if it is projectile, if it is condescending, the range can even reach 1780 paces, or even 200 paces.
The riding bow used by the Huns was made of softer material, and the range was only sixty or seventy steps.
And when it comes to riding and shooting, accuracy is actually a big problem.
"Shoot!" When the enemy and us were two hundred paces away, Han Xin began to order.
This distance is not within the range of the attack, but don't forget that there are cavalry charging at high speed on the opposite side.
From the time the order is given here, to the reaction of the soldiers, and the time it takes for the arrows to fly in the air, the arrows that are basically fired at this distance are just enough to hit the heads of the first wave of enemies.
These are the lessons learned from countless battles.
'Whoosh ......'
The archers often have only one start to shoot, and once the commander gives the order to shoot, the rest depends on the performance of the soldiers themselves.
After all, a quick hand can fire an extra arrow, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to take out an enemy.
And waiting for an order to launch a round, this is impossible, and such scenes only appear in film and television works.
And the real battle may not look as good as the effect of film and television works, but the scene is absolutely shocking.
The first three rows, without exception, are all rapid-shooters.
For these details, Han Xin still attaches more importance to them.
Put the fastest archers in the battalion at the front, and once the order is given to fire, shoot all the arrows on your body as fast as possible.
Then, they had to lay down their bows and arrows and transform into infantry, creating a new line of defense for the archers behind them, allowing them to sustainably attack the enemy in the rear.
The Huns who were charging, from time to time someone was hit by an arrow.
The injuries were slightly milder, and they were still gritting their teeth and persevering.
And some who are not very lucky fall off the horse directly.
For a while, there was a slight chaos in the offensive formation, and the overall formation did not look as dense as before.
There were those who fell off their horses and were trampled to death by friendly troops behind, and there were those whose feet were hung by ropes, and whose heads were dragged forward by war horses.
In just one face-to-face effort, nearly 100 Huns fell off their horses.
This number is not low, after all, the Huns also keep a distance from each other.
Gao Shu stood in the second row, looking at the Hun cavalry in front of him who was getting closer and closer.
There was a faint feeling of panic in his heart, if it was before, Gao Shu felt that he was going to run for his life nine times out of ten.
When did you ever think that you would dare to stand here and face the charge of the cavalry cluster?
But I don't know why, although I was a little stunned in my heart, Takaki felt that he didn't seem to be too panicked.
There was an indescribable feeling, scared and excited.
Takaki wasn't the only one in the team who felt this way.
The previous more than a month of devil training had strengthened their mentality.
But if they have not been on the battlefield or have been tested in actual combat, it is impossible for them to completely abandon the scruples in their hearts.
And for the big Han, that's all it takes.
No one thinks that a recruit can be transformed in a short period of time after a bit of devilish training, and no one has such unrealistic illusions.
And the purpose of devil training is actually just to let the soldiers be able to stabilize the formation when they encounter this situation, not to be afraid to retreat, not to mention trembling in fear, and even if they can't hold their weapons steadily.
"Holy shit, what are you shaking?" Feeling a little nervous in his heart, Gao Shu decided to let himself relax, and his comrade-in-arms Liu Sangou in front of him kept swaying back and forth, and Gao Shu instantly found the target.
"Tender and doggy, am I shaking? What do you want that dog's eye? I'm calling it aiming, and I forgot what the instructor handed over to you? Liu San scolded without replying, and his hands were still shaking slightly.
"How could I have forgotten? Don't be afraid, Lao Tzu is behind you, if those grandsons dare to come, see if Lao Tzu doesn't cut them down with a knife, and when the time comes, you will chop it up and cook it and eat it......" Gao Shu also looked ahead, staring at the battlefield tightly, but his mouth kept burying.
He was indeed nervous, and Liu Sangou was not the only one in the first row.
It's that everyone is shaking.
Do you think the first row of sabers were stuck diagonally on the ground just to give a puncture to the opposite side?
Wrong!
Miss by a mile!
Its real purpose is to make the opposite side feel frightened when they see this long and big horse chopping knife, so that they dare not ride a horse and crash directly into the person like a normal battle.
Swinging back and forth, just to allow them to avoid their own people and pass through the space left behind.
And the space left is spaced three meters apart.
The length of the chopping knife is also three meters.
A hundred people were scattered on a three-hundred-meter-wide area, and then in this three-hundred-meter-wide battle array, it was impossible for anyone to survive.
"The arrow is coming, look down ......" Takaki reminded as he looked in front of him.
"Do you still need to be reminded? Mind yourself first! Liu Sangou said angrily.
In terms of the probability of being injured by an arrow, of course, the probability of the first row of 100 people is the lowest.
For no other reason, they were all half-squatting.
The armor on his body was just enough to cover his lower limbs, and he wore an iron armor on his head, and the Huns' arrows could not hurt them at all.
The latter ones are different, in comparison, their two arms, and below the knees, are still relatively easy to get arrows.
'Ding......'
'Thorn ......'
Liu Sangou only felt that his head was violently hit by something, and there was an inner lining inside the chest, although it was very simple, but it also cushioned the impact well.
So Liu Sangou's head just shook slightly and then returned to its original state.
The arrow could not penetrate the iron helmet, plus the curvature on the helmet, so the arrow grazed the helmet and broke away from Liu Sangou's head.
"I'm a young girl, I just came here and gave Lao Tzu a headshot? ……”
"Poof, you're a good head, if I'm sure I'll have to get your little head first, it's not fun to play with a big head!" Gao Shu couldn't help but laugh and quipped.
"Get out, make a face, even if you want to be a woman, you can't make fun of Lao Tzu, so who can play Longyang's goodness?"
"You'd better shut up, don't wait for Lao Tzu to shake his hand and cut off your big head, it won't be fun......" Gao Shu continued to threaten.
"I said that you two are really interesting, you are still thinking about laughing at this moment, thinking about women, and when this battle is over, why don't you just move your family over?" The comrades-in-arms next to him felt that it was very lively, and finally couldn't help but participate.
"That is, although this is the border, but His Majesty let us come here, and gave so many good things, then we will definitely beat his mother hard, and when the time comes, I will beat them away, this place is still very peaceful, we should farm the land, we should graze and graze, there is food to eat, there is meat to eat, how beautiful these days are......" The other person also longed.
"Let's live first......"
Gao Shu said with some emotion, and then with both hands, the three-meter broadsword that had been prepared fiercely slashed towards the Hun cavalry galloping in front of him......
