Chapter 140: Shield Defense Bow Shooting Teaches Tactics

Early in the morning, outside the city of Guangling, the Beifu barracks.

The sky has just revealed a trace of fish belly white, and the playground of the barracks is already full of sergeants of various battalions and teams, although they look yawning all day and lack of sleep, but under the command and reprimand of the general's guards, they have also been listed in yesterday's queues, these newly recruited croppers, know that this kind of military training is to exercise their ability to line up, and maintaining formation and discipline is the first priority on the battlefield, this point, yesterday the commanders of each battalion and each team have already explained with military sticks and leather whips.

Liu Yu is still standing at the head of the fifth row, Liu Jingxuan is three positions away from him, in the same row, as yesterday, Tan Pingzhi and the Wei brothers are also in this row, these people from Jingkou are obviously stronger than the people from other places, and their height and strength are obviously more sufficient, so more than half of the queue of more than 40 people in this row are fellow villagers in Jingkou, and these people are even more in awe of Liu Yu, and they have long been regarded as captains.

Sweat along Liu Yu's face, all the way down, this autumn is very strange, the cool breeze in Jingkou in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Guangling in the north of the Yangtze River is the scorching sun, although it is just early in the morning, but in this camp without tree shade, tens of thousands of men themselves are tens of thousands of big heat sources, leaning together, and then giving the rising sun such a photo, everyone is sweating cheeks, which is much harder than usually carrying a hoe to work in the field.

Sun Wuzhong is still wearing armor, and he is behind him, but today he has an extra short stick painted black and red in his hand, and it seems that he is going to enforce military law on people at any time, or correct his posture.

Sun Wuzhong walked to Liu Yu's row, and when he passed in front of Xiang Jing, his brows furrowed slightly, and he stopped: "What are you standing on?" ”

Tie Niu's left shoulder sank a little, and the whole person looked quite weird, and he grinned: "General, I'm used to carrying burdens in my hometown, so ............"

Before his words fell, Sun Wuzhong's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness, and a stick was smashed out, Xiang Jing (Tie Niu) was caught off guard, and directly hit him in the stomach, he snorted, and collapsed in pain, until he reached the ground.

Sun Wuzhong said sharply: "Bastard! The array is not farming, don't you know that this shoulder that you have fallen down is to hold a shield? It's not you who are shielding you, it's your companions, look! ”

As he spoke, he stood on top of Xiang Jing's position, and the two guards on one side immediately took a thick wooden shield more than three feet high and one and a half feet wide, as well as a spear six or seven feet long, and the spearhead was wrapped in a thick cloth to prevent injury.

Sun Wuzhong copied this big shield and placed it in front of him, half of it blocked his left chest, and the other half completely covered the right half of Tan Yizhi's body beside him. He said loudly: "See, the shield on the battlefield is like this, blocking the left half of yourself, and also blocking the right side of your companion up to your thigh." This is the Infantry Shield Method! ”

As he spoke, he suddenly lifted his head to the sky, and the big shield suddenly crossed his head, completely covering his head under the shield: "This is the method of raising the shield against arrows, when the enemy's bow and arrow attack, you can only survive if you hold up a shield wall on your head!" ”

Xiang Jing on the side blinked, suddenly raised his hand, clenched his fist, this is what Sun Wuzhong said yesterday, if you have something to say in the ranks, you must raise your hand first.

Sun Wuzhong hooked the corners of his mouth: "Speak!" ”

Tie Niu Qi said: "Isn't this bow and arrow shooting from the front, why does the general block the arrow and raise it above his head?" Can the enemy fly into the sky and shoot arrows? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall burst into laughter, led by Liu Jingxuan, many people leaned back and forth with laughter, while those who didn't know the situation looked dazed, looking at these people laughing there.

Sun Wuzhong stood coldly in place, and after all the laughter subsided, he said slowly: "Nian Er ignorant, here I will make a special explanation, on the battlefield, not everyone can fight the enemy head-on, just like you are now, this building is divided into five rows, that is, five teams, can fight with the enemy, only the front team, they are holding spears and stabbing the enemy each other, generally speaking, after a moment of effort, it is necessary to rotate, the people in the back row replace the people in the front row, and the soldiers in the front row have to retreat, to maintain physical strength. ”

"But under normal circumstances, in addition to spears and lances, bows and arrows are the most powerful weapons on the battlefield, you must know that when you put arrows on the battlefield, it is not usually when you shoot rabbits and roe deer in the mountains, not the kind of aiming an arrow to shoot, but like this!"

As he spoke, he took a big bow from one of the guards beside him, wound the arrow, and his legs were one after the other, forming a wrong step, the front leg was stretched forward, and the knee of the back leg was slightly open, Liu Yu could see clearly, this is a lunge, which can effectively increase waist strength and open a stronger bow, so as to shoot the arrow farther.

Sun Wuzhong's big bow looks like it is four stones, and one stone is about one hundred and twenty catties, that is to say, to pull this strong bow, it takes almost five hundred catties of strength, and the hunting bow used by ordinary excellent hunters is only about two stones at most.

Even Tan Pingzhi, who is good at bows and arrows, nodded secretly when he saw this, obviously, Sun Wuzhong's shot showed his strength in the bow and arrow.

Sun Wuzhong shouted in a deep voice: "Look at it! His bow was like a full moon, and he pulled the two bowstrings twisted together with animal tendons to the side of his right face, and let go suddenly, only to hear a "whoosh" sound, and a long pole and four-tailed feather feather arrow on the string rose to the sky, crossed a high and long arc, and fell far away to a place a hundred paces away, inserted in the sand, as if the shaft of the arrow was shaking.

Everyone let out a burst of exclamations: "Wow, that's amazing! ”

"General Sun's divine power, mighty!"

Sun Wuzhong was expressionless in this piece of praise, he threw the bow at the sergeant on the side, and said: "See, this bow and arrow is shot like this on the battlefield, the curve is fired towards the sky, as long as your strength is big enough, the bow and arrow shoot fast enough, far enough, you can bypass the sergeant in front of you and shoot the top of the enemy's head!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the hard leather armor and leather helmets worn by the recruits, and said: "These armors on your body cannot prevent the enemy's spears and bayonets from cutting, and the main thing to guard against is the bow and arrow, if you haven't engaged the enemy, you will shoot the bow and arrow to death, wouldn't it be a great loss, so, on the battlefield, the most lethal is the bow and arrow, and the strongest defense is the shield, understand?" ”
