Chapter 145: The First Battle (I)

- Martial arts arena

"Today, the Yellow Turban bullied the king, gathered people to rebel, mutilate living beings, and poisoned the people...."Ma Qiang took the text written by Zhang Zhen for him and read it on the high platform, and suddenly found that most of the sergeants below were confused, and immediately understood.

Although I have been doing literacy myself, I am afraid that there are still a few people who can understand these four words.

Ma Qiang simply rolled up the text, then waved his hand and said, "I didn't read the text just now, I don't read it well, I see that you don't listen to it well, I'll say something simple."

Brothers! Now Taiping Dao is rebelling! They have broken Jixian County, killed Guo Tingshi and Liu Taishou, they also said that they want to break Luoyang, change the dynasty, and let Zhang Jiao be the emperor, I know, everyone is basically from a homeless background, and this world is indeed not good, but everyone should have heard more or less, Taiping Dao and our Red Star Camp have enmity! Their chief canal commander in Youzhou was almost forced to starve to death in the city by me!

You say, if they win the world, will our Red Star Camp still have a good life? Will you still have enough to eat?

Now because they are rebelling, all the business of our Red Star Camp has nothing to do, and everyone should know that our Red Star Camp does not have much land, and the food we grow is not enough to feed the livestock! It depends on the money that only those brothers in the Ministry of Industry and friends on various trade routes have, and only when they have money can they buy food and cloth for everyone to eat and wear!

Now, these yellow turban thieves are going to smash everyone's jobs, make you hungry, and leave your family with no clothes to wear. ”

"Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't do it!! ”

This is much more useful than the bullying just now.

At the end of the day, before the rise of nationalism and nationalism, nothing is more important to most people than what they eat.

"So what do we do?"

"Fight the Yellow Turbans! Fight the Yellow Turban Army!! ”

Seeing that the army's heart was puffed up by himself, Ma Qiang was relieved.

"Newspaper!! There is an urgent military situation in Changping! At this time, a sergeant in the clothes of the communications group ran up shouting all the way and handed over a piece of paper.

Ma Qiang took it and looked at it, then handed it to Duan Ying and said, "Changping County has been breached, the Yellow Turban Army Commander has broken through the county seat in only half an hour with 10,000 people, and the heads of the county order have been hung out, I think they will soon send troops to our Red Star Battalion!" ”

Ma Qiang is still very confident in his taunting skills.

"Camp master, this is the right time to raise the prestige of my Red Star Army, when it is annihilated in a battle!" Duan Ying said with a smile.

"That's true, but none of our sergeants have ever been on the battlefield, and we are short of bows and arrows." Ma Qiang looked at the sergeant below and expressed his concern.

"Rest assured, the camp owner can not fight this battle, but outwit."

Looking at Duan Ying's confident appearance, Ma Qiang also relieved himself.

Blade armor, Ma Qiang used the knowledge of the later generations he knew to solve it, but only the bow had no way.

Ma Qiang can indeed make a cross bow quickly, but it is only a simple hand crossbow, and the power can be seen in Wolf Warrior 2, you can barely break the defense in cloth clothes, and then cause some skin trauma to others.

To be used in warfare, it must be an elaborate war bow or crossbow.

There are many kinds of traditional bows, which are divided into straight-drawn bows and recurve bows, straight-drawn bows are English longbows that tighten the bowstring in the direction of the natural bending of the bow piece, and recurve bow is the bow piece that tightens the bowstring in the opposite direction of its natural bend. From the material, it can be divided into a single bow, a reinforced bow, and a composite bow, the single bow is a simple wood, the reinforced bow is made of the same or similar materials, and the composite bow is a bow made of a variety of materials with different properties, such as the Han bow and even the later Qing bow are a kind of compound recurve bow.

From the point of view of the production process, the single bow is naturally the simplest, but the requirements for the material are actually the highest, first of all, it must be such as purple shirt, mulberry tree such a long straight tree species, and then to choose a wooden pole without wooden knots, can not be sawed with a saw, must be split with an axe, and then carefully repair the appropriate shape with a planer, but if the material is good, the production is simple, and you can make a handful of skilled in an hour.

How difficult it is to get this suitable material, let's put it this way, Britain for a while in order to store purple shirts, simply tariffs do not need money and ask for wood.

But for compound bows, it is normal to spend more than a year in man-hours.

Many later generations thought that ancient China only had a recurve compound bow, so some novels will say that the protagonist invented a single straight draw bow, and then the people on the side were stunned and amazed, but in fact, China has been using a single straight draw bow as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there is a reason why the Chinese army is more and more fond of using a recurve compound bow.

The first is the efficacy, if you say that the bow has the largest range of pounds, then it must be the English longbow, but that is almost the limit of the human body, later generations have done tests, the 80-pound Turkish horn bow can reach the range of the 120-pound England longbow, but to the 120-pound Turkish horn bow after only 150 pounds of the power of the English longbow, the further back, the smaller the advantage of the compound recurve bow, and slowly surpassed by the single straight draw.

Therefore, for ordinary people, the power of the recurve compound bow will be greater, and the single straight draw bow is generally the same or higher than a person, mostly above one meter six, and the bow is even two meters two, which is not suitable for cavalry, more suitable for foot bows, but here in the Central Plains Dynasty, sorry, we have crossbows.

But it doesn't mean that a recurve compound bow is always better than a single straight draw, for example, in the UK or southern China, it is more suitable for a single straight draw... Because dampness and rain are the greatest enemies of the compound bow, the compound bow is glued, in wet and rainy weather.... Let's draw the knife...

Ma Qiang now has no time to make a large number of compound bows, and secondly, he can't find so many suitable wood for straight draws, and crossbows can't be bought at all, as for making crossbows, what do you think is the difference between crossbow arms and bow arms?

At this time, Ma Qiang's whole army only had 500 bows and 50 crossbows in the cavalry battalion, which could be described as poor and pitiful.

- Changping County

Yu Poison sat in the county office, looked at the words written on the exquisite porcelain bottle in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, "I have heard that Changping's Red Star Erguotou is the first spirit in the world, and this time I can finally taste it." ”

"Qu Shuai, now that we have laid down Changping, the brothers are asking when they will go to fight the Red Star Camp." A big man wearing a yellow scarf walked in, and this person was Gugu.

"Zhenggu, I always feel that the Red Star Camp will not be so simple, in the past, the great sage and good teacher came back to Youzhou and praised that Ma Qiang, I heard that the Red Star Camp is training volunteers recently, we still have to be careful." Yu Poison said while playing with the porcelain vase, "In this way, you take three thousand people to go, remember, divided into two teams, separated by five miles from each other, just in case!" ”

"Qu Shuai, you're too careful!" He shook his head a little disapprovingly and said, "Besides, who am I, even if I am defeated, no one can catch me, I am a rabbit!" ”

"This is also true, in addition, I am going to send 3,000 people to take the military capital, as long as the military capital mountain is held, the Han army of the previous generation will not be able to pass." Yu Yu poured out a little soju and gestured on the table.

"It's okay, that is, the soldiers are divided into three ways, Qu Shuai, you have to be careful here, if Yuyang's soldiers and horses make a detour, they can directly attack Changping."

"Rest assured! After you break through the Red Star Battalion, you must control the sergeants and don't kill indiscriminately, most of them are former outcasts, and they can be stored for my yellow turbans. ”

"Senior brother understands!"
