After many years, he finally appeared in such a tight and neat military formation, and the array in front of him was much more powerful and neat than the original Dengzhou battalions, and he could move forward side by side with his own hands in such a military formation, and he was famous in all directions, serving Lord Min, Shen Liang felt that it was worth it before he died in this military formation.

A large number of qualified guns have been trained by him, and even if Shen Liang dies at this time, he is not afraid that there will be no one behind him.

The so-called passing on the torch is like this.

"The back is straight." Shen Liang gently patted a pale-faced hand beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Damn the bird is facing up, it won't die for thousands of years, and you can't shoot you if you bend over and people can't shoot you?" Straighten your waist and walk with a good look like a good man! ”

If you change the training, this can't help bending over the gun will inevitably be hit with a military stick, at this time Shen Liang said this, the gun hand's face was slightly red, and there was a touch on his face.

"I am willing to die for my lords." The young man pondered for a moment, then replied in a deep voice.

"Die for the Adults." Shen Liang replied, and then looked ahead again, walking forward calmly.

The army formation is flanked by drummers, who beat the drums at a certain pace during training to balance people's footsteps, so that the army formation can maintain a complete front line to attack the enemy as much as possible.

There was a rumbling sound in the air, Shen Liang glanced in the direction of the Thousand Households City, the military formations on both sides were almost fighting at the main gate of the Thousand Households City, and now it was closer, and the Franc machine gun was less than a hundred paces away to fire shells at the array of guest soldiers.

But the gunner did not know how to adjust the range and angle of fire, and the shells flew into the air, and then flew into a deserted clearing, stirring up large masses of grass roots and dirt.

There was still chaos in the guest array, even if three rounds of shells in a row fell on the open space far away and did not cause damage, but each artillery bombardment was too powerful and too threatening.

It is true that the shells are continuously missed, but who knows whether the next one will hit the open space or the crowd?

The guests moved forward cautiously, and even the officers shouted and scolded angrily, in fact, the officers were also a little afraid, the artillery was too powerful in people's hearts, and the deterrent power was indeed far greater than that of firecrackers and bows and arrows.

When the two armies were less than a hundred paces apart, the guest soldiers clearly saw the firearms of the front team.

These guest soldiers didn't care about the firearms, and the Ming army didn't pay attention to the inheritance of the firecrackers, even if they formed a firearms battalion with pure firearms in Liaodong, it was Sun Chengzong's helplessness.

If it were possible, Sun Chengzong would of course prefer to form a few more iron cavalry battalions.

The Guanning Army created by Lao Sun Tou is to take the cavalry as the absolute main force, the so-called Guanning Iron Cavalry is the Shanhaiguan Iron Cavalry Battalion of the year, and the Iron Cavalry Battalion has not broken the inheritance until Wu Sangui's hand, otherwise when the 60,000 main forces of the Shun Army swooped down on Shanhaiguan, only the two or three thousand people in the hands of Wu Sangui could not hold the gate, let alone fight fiercely with the main force of the Chuang Army, until the main force of the Qing Army arrived.

When they saw the firecrackers, the faces of the guests showed disdain.

At this time, the guest soldiers were still relatively dense, and most of the guest soldiers gathered in groups and couldn't help but gather together.

The array is too dense, which is actually a sign of lack of training and fear of fighting.

The more people there are, the denser they gather, and the stronger their self-confidence, and if the training is stricter, it should be to prevent the occurrence of over-dense arrays.

A number of archers gathered at the shouting of the officers, and they began to take their bows and arrows out of their waists.

Compared with those foot soldiers who are dressed in tatters, holding inferior weapons, and even walking on the ground with bare feet, the treatment of archers is generally better, most of them wear serious standard military jackets, and there is not only a folded scarf on their heads, most of them wear Fan Yang hat, this kind of hat can protect from the sun and rain, and it is always much stronger than a bare head.

There are also a small number of archers who wear leather or cotton armor, boots on their feet, and several bags around their waists, which are elite archers who can shoot heavy and fast arrows, and they also wear iron helmets on their heads, and their protection is enough for archers.

Archers are quite a good class in the Ming army, and if they are good at archery and can ride horses, it is relatively easy to become a family member.

The Ming army had firearms at the beginning of the country, and Emperor Chengzu set up a special Shenji battalion to sweep the desert with muskets and early artillery.

However, at the beginning of the country, the proportion of archers was still higher, and there were at least forty archers in each hundred households, and there were many more people who practiced archery than those who practiced firearms.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, firearms were easier to use, although the inferior system could barely form a long-range strike ability, the archers were to be trained for many years, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the re-recruitment of light guards, the guards generally collapsed, and the daily archer training was completely abandoned, which also made the Ming army recruit in the lack of archers to supplement.

In the army, archers can be trained, but if the archers have not been trained since they were teenagers, the archers they have trained in a short period of time will not be of great use.

The Ming bow is a hard bow like the Kaiyuan bow and a small bow two kinds of bows and arrows, but even the Kaiyuan bow is much weaker than the Qing bow, the Qing bow is grown, the strength is stronger, the dense Qing bow shooting on the battlefield makes the Ming army suffer heavy casualties, in the Salhu and other famous battlefields, such as the Juniper Department is the main force in the battle of Salhu, it was ambushed by the Qing army in the fog, the Ming army was shot to death like a target by the Qing army like a target like a fall of leaves swept by the autumn wind, the Eight Banners soldiers use the Qing bow as the main, not only the strength is great, the rate of fire, continuous continuous shooting, and the accuracy is far above the Ming army archers.

The two armies fought, and the Qing army covered the fire with cavalry flanks, and used a large number of infantry bows and arrows like flying locusts in the front, which put great pressure on the Ming army every time.

The so-called Manchurian cavalry is invincible, in fact, it is not complete and nonsense, although the Eight Banners are not based on the tactical play of heavy cavalry charging formation, but the cavalry involves archery to shake the Ming army's position, attracting the Ming army's guns and artillery bombardment, messing with the Ming army's position, covering the infantry raid, when the Ming army's array began to rout, these cavalry repeatedly rushed to kill, chasing and killing hundreds of miles is a common thing, Songjin fiasco when the Ming army fled dozens of miles, the Qing army chased and killed, from Songshan Tashan Belt and Road pursuit, many Ming soldiers jumped into the sea in a hurry to avoid the arrows, Then it was submerged by the sea, and the sea was full of floating corpses, and the situation was terrible.

Liu Zeqing's guest soldiers gathered about 400 or so archers, of which there were only a few dozen elite archers, and most of them were the so-called elites from Huai'an Mansion City, which was quite good for a miscellaneous army in a third-rate military town.

When the archers were separated by a hundred paces, they began to prepare, and at this time, Yao Wenqian and the others did not find any signs of the existence of a large number of archers in the opponent's banner army, and they felt a lot more relieved.

For these generals, the archers are the ranged power they can rely on, and the firecrackers are better than nothing.

When they were within eighty paces, many of the officers in the guest soldiers gave orders, and then they heard the sound of bangs.

With a loud sound, the guest archer turned the bow of the small bow to the sky, pinched the tail of the arrow with his fingers, and then drew the bowstring.

The bow strength of these Ming archers was only about five or even four, that is, about fifty to sixty pounds.

Generally speaking, men in later generations practiced bows and arrows, and the starting weight was 25 to 30 pounds.

For true beginner enthusiasts, fifty or sixty pounds is indeed about the same weight.

The heavier the bow and arrow, the heavier the arrow must be, otherwise it will damage the bowstring and the bow.

However, if the bow and arrow are used as a profession, or the bow and arrow are used as the instrument of war, the strength of the bow and arrow with five or even four forces is obviously weak.

Moreover, the calculation of the Ming and Qing dynasties was slightly shrunk compared with the data of later generations, saying that it was five forces of sixty pounds, but in fact it was estimated to be about fifty-two pounds.

And the four force of the open bow, about the actual poundage is less than forty pounds at most.

For adult men in later generations, this number of pounds is already on the light side.

As for the clear bow shooter of the Eight Banners, seven or eight forces are the most basic requirements, and each flag Ding Cheng Ding must practice pulling from "one strength" to "twenty strengths" before becoming an adult, that is, using a force bow to exercise the bow and arrow pull, and the guarantee of strength and rate of fire is to use the force bow for daily exercise.

The training of the quasi-head is his daily life skill, and then he deliberately conducts military training in mounted archery from his teenage years.

To become a Cheng Ding or an elite armor soldier, he generally uses a clear bow with ten powers, and the number of pounds is more than 100.

With such a strong bow and heavy arrow, even if the Ming army is wearing cotton armor, it is easy to be shot through, and one arrow is enough to kill the vital point.

The Ming army was embarrassed under such a rain of arrows, the number of archers was not good, the strength was inferior, the quality of the firecrackers and the training of the firecrackers were not good, and defeat was inevitable.

After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the standard of martial arts was three forces for horse shooting and five forces for foot shooting, which was also seriously degenerated.

Due to the lack of strength of the bow, they continued to move forward for about ten paces, approaching the range of sixty to seventy paces, and the archers spread their fingers in the shouting order, and the arrows flew out.

More than 400 arrows formed a spectacular rain of arrows in mid-air, which was even more spectacular than the best special effects.

One can imagine what a thrilling scene it would be if thousands of people and tens of thousands of people shot arrows together.

And the unarmored soldiers covered by the rain of arrows, especially the heavy archers, will be desperate in their hearts.

Riders and archers have always been oppressive troops, the Qin army with bows and crossbows, the Han army with heavy cavalry, the Tang army with heavy armor and strong cavalry, the Song people because of the lack of horses and heavy infantry and a large number of crossbowmen to fight the world.

In the Ming Dynasty, it entered a strange circle, the firearms were unqualified, the archers were weak, and the cavalry was not as strong as the Han and Tang dynasties.

At least the power of the more than 400 archers in front of them seems to be amazing, but the bow power is insufficient, the arrows cannot be too heavy, nor can they reach far, and the penetration and breaking power are quite limited.

If the banner army of Yunti Pass did not have armor protection or shields, then it would be seriously killed, and the Ming army was invincible in the early crusade against the Liukou, which is the reason.

But the flag army on the opposite side is obviously not like this, the guerrillas are all heavily armored sword players with swords and cards, wearing armor or chain mail and cotton armor, when the rain of arrows hits, they raise their shields, and after the clanging sound, most of the arrows either fall on the armor and iron helmets, or shoot on the shields, and more fall on the ground, inserted into the soil, forming a small from the small bush-like arrows from the forest.
