The army went all the way north, passing through Baishan Society, Jiaoshanzhuang, Huangshan Society, Shunheji and other places, and then crossed the Baima River and other rivers, and then went out of Suining. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The roads and bridges along the way, Han Daxia's sentinel team has already checked it out, so when the army is marching, there is no need to beat around the bush and build bridges along the way.

However, at this time, it is no problem to cross the river, the basic rivers along the road are frozen, the season of the month of Layue, this day is too cold, even the Yellow River has to be frozen, at this time to send troops, but to avoid the annoying river network dense and other problems.

Everywhere they passed, the villages along the road were also cheering and sending off, they were full of confidence in Yang Xianggong's suppression of bandits, and there were heroes and archers from various villages who continued to gather, all wanting to follow the army to suppress bandits and make some benefits.

"Brother Qing, hurry."

A group of young people rushed from Champa to Jiaoshanzhuang, all armed with knives and bows, carrying packages, full of bravery.

The first young man, in his twenties, dressed in a shearling robe, with a winter felt on his head, a bow and arrows, and a long knife on his back, saw the men and horses coming on the road from a distance, exhaled, and finally arrived.

When he turned around, he hurriedly greeted a young man not far behind him.

The young man was dressed in a black robe, with two swords pinned, his eyes were quite attentive, and he was in his teens, and he hesitated a little at this time: "Wen Tao, do you really want to join the army?" ”

The young man said: "Of course, do you know how much I touched with the army last time?" ”

He proudly stretched out ten fingers, but he also wore gloves: "Ten taels of silver, Brother Qing, ten taels of silver with white flowers." ”

The young man in the black robe took a breath of cold air, his eyes widened, and he was also excited, ten taels of silver, if you spend it yourself, it will be enough for a long, long time.

The young man was Dou Wentao, the son of Dou Xitang, the chief of the Champa Collection, and the young man in the black robe was his cousin Dou Qing.

Zhanchengji is a very large polder, with four or five hundred young and strong men, and more than 260 troops were dispatched last time, including fifty archers and twenty bird guns, and Dou Wentao was also in it at that time.

After the defeat of the Jiaoshan bandits, everyone got a lot of benefits by touching their pockets and rewarding them afterwards, so this time when they heard that Xin'anzhuang had suppressed the bandits again, Dou Wentao couldn't wait to bring some people here.

Dou Qing is the son of his uncle, who lives in the Dou family village on the side of the White Horse Mountain in Pizhou, the owner of Dou Laozhuang is always the son, and he has Dou Qing in his forties, but he is young, but his generation is not small, although Dou Wentao is a few years old, but he is still his cousin.

He is good at using double knives, and he also understands some of the four books and five classics, and always stays in the village on weekdays, reads books, and protects Zhuangzi, but because of the recent vigorous suppression of bandits by officers and soldiers, there is a lot of peace inside and outside Pizhou, so he thought of playing at his cousin's house in Zhanchengji, but he didn't want to be pulled.

Most of these young men are archers, carrying bows and arrows of different styles, and the rest have seven or eight sword, shield, and short axe bearers, and they all said at this time: "Yes, Brother Qing, fighting with the army is a good man." ”

"You can suppress bandits, and you can touch your pocket, killing two birds with one stone."

"Last time, I also touched five or six taels of silver, it's too easy to make a fortune, what's the interest of digging in the soil?"

"Yes, Brother Qing, let's go together, with your double knives, how can you cut off the heads of a few bandits."

was said by everyone, Dou Qing was also moved.

After all, young people are hot-blooded, and they are always full of yearning for battlefield fighting, and they dream back at midnight, they may not have military dreams, and they also have silver.

At that moment, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Okay, follow the army." ”

Dou Wentao said happily: "This is my good cousin." ”

He glanced at the team in the distance and explained to everyone: "It's time to join the army, it's freezing this day, and you have to walk a long way, so take out your masks and gloves." ”

At that moment, everyone in the team took out masks and gloves of different materials from the package and put them on one after another.

They were dressed in different ways, cotton robes and leather jackets, and all kinds of hats, but some people had winter felt, some people did not, and those who did not have them, so they wrapped a thick long cloth from their heads, covered their ears, and then circled around their necks, and finally put on hats to keep warm.

However, the style of gloves and masks is relatively uniform, but it was learned from Xin'anzhuang.

Everything in Xin'anzhuang is the object of imitation by the outside world, gloves and masks are all winter weapons, after the appearance, the villages naturally follow suit, especially masks, which are better than grease.

Dou Qing saw them put on these strange things, and even spoke in a loud voice, but looking at them, the trembling meaning was greatly reduced.

At this time, the winter was cold, the cold wind as sharp as a knife blew, the ears and nose were frozen and painful, and the exhaled white gas condensed on the lips in a blink of an eye, mixed with the frozen water and snot, a piece of white flowers.

In particular, Dou Qing felt that his hands and feet were stiff, and if he stood down, it seemed that his hands and feet would freeze, so he stomped his feet hard and shook his shoulders.

Dou Wentao glanced at him and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I was prepared." ”

He took out a pair of gloves and a mask from the package he was carrying, and handed them to Dou Qing: "Brother Qing, put on the mask to prevent it from freezing out." ”

Dou Qing took it, the gloves seemed to be made of cotton and linen, the stitches were fine, and there was wool on the mouth, after wearing it, it was indeed much warmer in the hands, and they were not afraid of being exposed in the cold wind, but they were separated by a thick layer of cloth on their hands, which was a little unaccustomed.

There is also a mask, his inner sewing wool, hanging in both ears, like a big warm earmuff on his face, his mouth and nose are covered, his frozen and stiff cheeks are immediately warm, and the cold wind blows, and the skin on his face is no longer cut by the wind.

Sure enough, it's better than rubbing grease, but it's inconvenient to speak, and the urn is angry.

Seeing that everyone was equipped, Dou Wentao looked at a stout man next to him: "Brother Li, have you brought everything to the tent?" ”

At first glance, this man looked like a fierce man, he seemed to be a body of tendon meat, his face was quite resolute, he wore a fur hat, put his ears in, did not wear a mask, and the back of his hands was wrapped in layers of thick cloth, and at this time he was constantly stuffing hay into his shoes, and a strong bow and a large knife were carried on his back.

Then on the ground next to it, there was a big burden on it.

He stuffed the hay and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Brother Tao, tents, pots, iron kettles, ginger, rice and noodles, all with you." ”

He spoke with a little Shandong's accent, but it was Dou Wentao and others who were rescued on the road last month, claiming to be a hunter, and meeting bandits on the road.

Like him, there were several stout men in this group who carried the burden.

Dou Wentao said: "Okay, this time with the army, we will bring our own dry food, but this guy has to bring it all, so as not to have no place to eat or sleep." ”

He wore a mask, and he always spoke in an urn voice, looking at the closer and closer the team, he loudly explained to everyone: "When you join the army, you must abide by the rules, so as not to be cut off your head, don't blame me for not pleading when the time comes." ”

Everyone shouted loudly, but it was quite majestic, and many of them in the team were not the first time to join the army, and they all knew the rules of Xin'anzhuang.

Dou Qing's blood boiled and he also shouted.

At that moment, they passed in the direction of the team, and in the distance, it seemed that they could hear the sound of neat footsteps, and the Xin'anzhuang team was getting closer and closer.

……

Soon when the people reached the junction of the intersections, they saw a horse stirring up dust, and was stepping on the frost, and immediately the knight was red-clothed and red-armoured and red-armed, and he was quite heroic.

Look at this knight's vigorous riding skills, and he is quite brave and murderous on the horse.

Dou Wentao whispered: "The one who passed just now was Pei Ye, the sentinel of Xin'anzhuang, I heard that he had killed the Tartar, and the armor on his body was snatched from the Tartar. Last time he killed the Jiaoshan bandits, he also killed two horse thieves and captured two war horses. ”

Everyone behind him watched the ride away in awe, and discussed in a low voice, and Dou Qing's heart was also surging with a torrent: "Xin'anzhuang is really heroic. ”

Soon, I saw a large group of people coming, first of all, a big flag, one foot three feet high, with a number of ribbons, with the words "Suining Lian Zongyang" on it.

There was a drummer next to the standard-bearer, who was beating the drum constantly, and there was a man who looked like a trumpet, and behind him was a maroon war horse, and a boy under twenty years old was riding on the horse, and he wore an eight-petaled hat and iron-tipped helmet.

The iron helmet was fine, and the neck was covered with finely broken armor leaves.

Underneath were red-painted iron armor and arms, with a robe around his waist, and bows and arrows and long knives hanging from his belt.

Covered by a black mink fur collar cloak, handsome and deep, his demeanor was full of majesty.

Seeing his sharp gaze sweeping, Dou Qing and the others lowered their heads unconsciously.

Dou Wentao said in a low voice: "That is Yang Xianggong, the pillar of our area." ”

They didn't dare to look at Yang He more, they were in awe of this young Xianggong, the new Suining Lian General, and everyone turned their eyes to the back of the horse, and more than 20 elite soldiers followed, with different weapons, and more than a dozen ironclad soldiers.

They were all dressed in iron armor and cloaks, and they were very powerful, and some of them rode horses, some of them walked, and all of them held their heads high.

That proud look, Dou Wentao was envious: "I can see it...... If I had this armor, I would be fine with five or six bandits at a time......"

Dou Qing also looked at the iron armor on their bodies with envy, just this armor, put it outside, at least a set of fifty taels of silver, although he is a young owner, I am afraid that he can't afford a set.

Then behind the ironclad soldiers, in the sound of footsteps, is a large group of marching men and horses, the first to recognize the flag, smaller than the earliest flag, also with the word "Yang", there is also a person beating a drum next to the flag, and there is a gong on his back, and then there are five people who look like guards.

A stout young man younger than Yang Xianggong rode on a horse, looking forward to his own majesty, also wearing iron armor and cloak, and there were two leader-like people next to the horse, who were not very old, which made people feel the sharpness and vigor of Xin'anzhuang.

Behind them, carried by four smaller "Yang" flags, were a platoon of five soldiers, accompanied by the beat of drums, walking very neatly on the road.

They all wore winter felt cloaks, gloves, masks, exposed cyan fat jackets, and belts around their waists, which were amazingly oppressive.

Seeing that the twenty rows of people in front of them were still carrying two bags, one of which I don't know what it was, and the other seemed to be a kettle bag, with a knife pinned to his waist, and a black and sophisticated bird gun on his shoulder, which was very extraordinary at first glance.

The last twenty rows were missing a backpack, and several rows of people were holding large shields with long knives pinned to their belts.

There are several rows with spears and round shields behind them, as well as knives.

They came together in order, and after forty rows, they were again the same banner team, but the rear ranks seemed to be ten less than the number of birds.

However, these people's neatly colored military uniforms rumbled over, and they were really imposing.

Watching them accompanied by the sound of drums, their steps raised high, falling neatly, and stepping on dusty, that kind of temperament and majesty......

The sturdy man of one color pressed over, the same clothes, the same weapons, neat steps, the large dust of the military boots on the ground, and the hunting sound of the wind and the flying flag, all of this stirred up a great wave in Dou Qing's young heart.

There is a kind of flame rising from the chest, it seems that this is the army of the Ming Dynasty, and the officers and soldiers seen in Pizhou City in the past are just a rabble.

That "Brother Li" carried the burden and looked at it with the same shock, he had also seen Liu Zeqing's troops from a distance in Shandong, but it was just a villain soldier, and the army in front of him was ......

That kind of inexplicable majestic temperament, no wonder Tao Ge'er is full of confidence in the army, just this army, not to mention that there are less than 2,000 Tongshan bandits, even if all of them are there, it is impossible to be the opponent of this army.

Dou Wentao looked at the line of people with great pride, and he smiled and said, "Did you see Li Er stunned them?" It turned out that the village had worked hard to plow the soil and farm, and now it has been practiced, and he saw me just now, as if he didn't see it. ”

Seeing the envious looks of the people around him, he said: "Don't be envious, the rules of Xin'anzhuang, you can't stand it, it's the best right now, ...... at ease."

The team in front walked by, and some people also came in the rear, although they were all winter felt cloaks, gloves and masks, but because they walked more chaotically, they did not have that kind of momentum.

Look at them picking and carrying, and pushing wheelbarrows, which are miscellaneous, carrying a lot of things, and even short ladders or something.

However, it is the cottage of the Tongshan bandits built on the mountain, a large part of it is located on the slope, the wall is not high, and there is no trench dug, and it is suitable to use a short ladder.

The team in the rear is Cui Lu's grenadier team, as well as Sheng Santang's baggage team, and Li Jiale's stretcher team, which basically belongs to the baggage logistics, and in terms of momentum, it is quite inferior to the pure soldiers in front, and many people have relatively honest and stout faces.

Behind them, there are quite a number of teams from various villages, all kinds of people, carrying burdens, and the voices of people are boiling.

Dou Wentao hurriedly led the team over, a soldier came out to interrogate a few words, and then a strong man with one eye came over, he was also a winter felt cloak and gloves, the mask was not covered, and he hung obliquely in one ear, but it was Sheng Santang, the captain of the baggage team.

He shouted: "It turned out to be Young Master Dou from Zhanchengji, you can follow the army, let's follow...... However, the ugly words are ahead, this time the team does not supply food and grass, and you must abide by the rules when you join the army, otherwise you will lose your head when you start a battle, don't blame me for not explaining it in advance. ”

Dou Wentao said loudly: "Don't worry, Master Sheng, it's not the first time I've joined the army, I understand the rules of Xin'anzhuang." ”

At the moment, Dou Wentao's team joined the army, and when he saw them, the soldiers and horses who followed him were constantly greeting, and the heroes from ten miles and eight towns basically knew each other, and Dou Wentao skillfully greeted them politely, beaming.

In the villages they passed, the people were cheering, and people and horses were constantly joining the team.

Yang He's original number of troops, including the number of guards and standard-bearers, was 500, but it soon rose to 800, and there were more than 100 archers from each village.

They formed a long and winding flow of people, all proudly walking on the road, and unconsciously, Dou Qing also looked like a cousin, raising his nostrils high.

Being in the team, facing the cheers of the people and neighbors along the way, he was honored.

……

The army marched north, and on this day the team traveled sixty miles, and in the evening of the same day, the team camped by a river near Zizhuangji.

It is out of Suining early here, and it belongs to the junction of Pizhou and Xuzhou, and it is quite chaotic regardless of the area.

However, in the face of Yang He's team, naturally there are no regular bandits and half-bandit villagers who dare to provoke them, that is, Zizhuang Ji, although the village gate was not opened, but it also let people send a few stones of rice noodles, as well as a few pigs and sheep, to reward the bandit army from afar.

At this time, it was only about thirty miles away from Tongshan Village, and Yang He felt that the Tongshan bandits did not know the news that the army was coming, so he was quite cautious when he set up camp and kept vigil.

Although it is not possible to erect wooden walls around the camp according to the "Law of War of Li Weigong", but also sprinkle the camp around the iron thistle, if the bandits have the courage and ability to attack on this winter night when the water is frozen, they are afraid that before they touch the edge of the tent, they will be pierced by the sharp thistles densely scattered around the tent.

Yang He also taught his subordinates how to set up camp, how to dig toilets, and how to ensure the morale of the soldiers, especially when marching in winter.

The movement of Xin'anzhuang, the surrounding heroes are always paying attention, their camp is a hundred steps away from the Xin'anzhuang camp, and the tents are also set up in a variety of ways by the river.

In the cold weather, of course everyone knows that they need to eat hot soup and hot food, but why is the camp vigorously carrying water and boiling water?

Dou Wentao went over to inquire, but Sheng Ye, who was in charge of the baggage, did not hide it, and after coming back, Dou Wentao said happily: "Okay, we have learned the art of war, and we will also boil water to wash our feet." ”

Nothing happened that night.

The next day, hundreds of troops continued northward, and at the beginning of the day, everyone crossed over the frozen Beijing-Hangzhou abandoned canal, and in the line of sight, there were continuous mountains in front of the right, and a few miles above the left, there were large lakes.

Then more than ten miles ahead, there are many mountains, from east to west, winding for forty or fifty miles.

The cottage of the Tongshan bandits is located on a certain hill in front of them.

After another quarter of an hour, there was an unknown river ahead, and the sentinels who had opened the way came back to report that the ice was also very thick and could push a wheelbarrow.

"Cross the river."

Yang He also ordered, and a trumpeter recruited from the opera troupe beside him skillfully played the trumpet, and then everyone crossed the river from a gentle place.

The Yang River also crosses the river on horseback, there is a small hill on the right side of the river, connecting the continuous mountain range on the right, the south side of the mountain bag is this river, some southeast inclined into the Beijing-Hangzhou waste canal, the river is about twenty or thirty meters wide.

He rode his horse up the mountain and saw that the army was constantly crossing the river, and the flow of people was rolling, and some people were carrying burdens or pushing wheelbarrows.

It is convenient to push a cart on the ice, but be careful not to slip, after all, a wheelwheel, not a sled, and people should also walk slowly, otherwise there is a possibility of falling.

Seeing that the army was marching in an orderly manner, still according to the general banner of the team, Yang He nodded secretly, in fact, there was some confusion when the team crossed the river at first, and the officers shouted and roared in vain.

But along the way, I don't know how many rivers I have crossed, and everyone is already confident, and even knows how to find a gentle bank to cross the river.

Sure enough, actual combat is the best training.

He looked into the distance, a few miles to the west, the lakes of the lake, but the side of the mountain was very dry, and there was no sign of the uninhabited fields as far as the eye could see.

Looking at the mountains to the north to the south, the cold wind is howling, and the grass is barren and the sky is full of wilderness.

It's a pity that no one cultivates this piece, you must know that this is the essence of Xuzhou Jiawang in later generations.

In the future, if you occupy it, this piece of land can be cultivated.

Just as he was thinking, in the barren grass plain to the north, a cloud of dust suddenly rolled up.

The people around Yang He were all shocked.

……

The smoke dragon is getting closer and closer, and in front of the smoke dragon, there is another vigorous knight, but it is Xin'anzhuang who does not accept Pei Pochuan at night.

Although there are ten sentry horses in Zhuangzhong, he is the only one with superb riding skills and can be a horse sentry, and even if Han Daxia and others can ride horses, they are only sentry sentry horses.

Therefore, in this march, only Pei Pochuan ran far away, riding his horse for several miles, or even ten miles away from the army.

He rushed like a whirlwind, went straight up the mountain bag, rolled the saddle and fell off the horse in front of Yang He, knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and reported loudly: "Yu Xianggong, the Tongshan bandits poured out of the nest, and there are about fifty horsemen, just ten miles away." ”

Yang He shouted: "Explore again." ”

Seeing Pei Pochuan running like a whirlwind again, getting on his horse and rushing down the mountain, he was not surprised but rejoiced, and a smile appeared on his face.

The Tongshan bandits are really rampant, give up their advantages, and come to the field with themselves, so give them an unforgettable lesson.

Seeing Yang Xianggong's relaxed expression, Zhang Songtao and the others beside him also showed smiles on their faces, they also thought of their own advantages, especially sharp firearms, Hu Employment smiled even more: "Ri Nen Guanguan, fight a field battle with me Xin'anzhuang, this Tongshan bandit doesn't want to live anymore!" ”

Yang He raised his eyes and saw that Yanlong was closer, but at this time, only Chen Qiuao, Zhang Songtao and others from the escort team and commando were around, Zeng Youyu and Hu Employment of the sentinel team were also beside him, and Zhang Chugong and others were making firearms in Zhuangzhong, but they did not accompany the army this time.

The first and second general ministers, Minister Yang, Han Daxia and others were still commanding the whole team to cross the river by the river, but they didn't see the situation in the distance, after all, ten miles away, the plain was full of wild grass, and the line of sight was not very clear, so a good terrain was very important.

Interestingly, the Yang River happened to occupy a favorable terrain, and the team basically crossed the river.

The flag-bearers, drummers, and trumpeters of his headquarters were also beside him, and the wind on the mountain bag was even worse, and the three-foot banner was blown by the cold wind and made the sound of hunting, and the cold hit people.

Yang He tightened his cloak, hoping to end the battle before he froze to death.

He suddenly shouted: "Blow the trumpet, assemble the team, encounter the Tongshan bandits, and prepare to set up a formation to meet the enemy." Put the shield cart on and attach the repellent rifle. ”

……

The trumpeter beside him blew the horn of the team, and Minister Yang and the others, who were directing the formation, were startled, but after a long time of training, they did not think about it, they all ordered the banner of their headquarters to be erected.

Then according to the banner in front, each total one to four teams, according to the usual training, the first and second teams of firearms teams in front, the third and fourth teams of killers in the back, according to the sound of the trumpet, under the general order of the team officer, the team will be placed away in turn.

Then the two of them were tied, Minister Yang's first president was in the west, and Han Daxia's second president was in the east, forming a line of formations.

Yang He was still a little flustered when he saw the recruits lined up, some people were at a loss for what to do in the officer's order, and even many people forgot the meaning of the trumpeter's voice, scurrying around like headless flies, and couldn't help shaking their heads.

But think about this is a normal phenomenon, after all, training is not the same as actual combat, it is normal to panic when you encounter bandits suddenly, as long as you fight a battle, each newcomer has killed someone, and if you have seen blood, you will become a calm veteran.

And at least the captains and captains were veterans, and someone took the lead in commanding, so after the recruits panicked for a while, they quickly set up the team according to their usual training.

Yang He ordered adjustments, and the firearms team continued to stretch to both sides according to the order, and finally the two firearms soldiers, totaling 150, formed two rows from east to west.

Each row of seventy-five people, from the east in front of the mountain pack, in a slight arc, extends to the west of the river, winding more than 100 meters.

Then the baggage team, under the command of Sheng Santang, shouted, and took the shield carts from the wheelbarrow, and pushed and pulled them in front of the first row of soldiers.

The baggage soldiers were also busy with their work, and two sharp spears were inserted in front of each shield cart to the left and right as repellents.

The first actual battle, one after another, good this array is the most commonly trained in Xin'anzhuang, and there are many veterans to lead, when the bandit Yanlong is still a few miles away, Xin'anzhuang's team is finally completed.

Although Yang He felt slow, it was different in the eyes of his subordinates, looking at the rapid completion of the array, not to mention Minister Yang, it was the deputy general of the first president, Han Guan'er and Yang Qian both showed proud and satisfied looks.

Minister Yang was about to laugh a few times, when suddenly there was another horn sound on the mountain bag, he hurriedly listened attentively, and when the horn fell, he shouted loudly: "The firearms soldiers are all behind the shield cart, squatting down and waiting." ”

Han Guan'er, as the first deputy general of the first general department, immediately repeated his orders loudly, and the captains and vice-presidents of the firearms teams also repeated the orders one after another.

"All the soldiers are attached to the back of the shield car, and the front and rear rows are squatted down to stand by......"

It seemed that the sound of the golden iron horse spread, and the officers shouted one after another.

In the midst of the shouting orders, the firearms soldiers in both rows hurriedly stepped forward, holding Xin'an guns, squatting down behind their respective shield carts, and waiting for the call without a sound.

And when they squatted down, if they looked from the outside of the shield cart, they could not see the one hundred and fifty firearms men armed with murderous weapons.

Also because of the production of the breech Xin'an, in order to give full play to the advantages of the breech gun, Yang He also improved the shield car of Xin'anzhuang.

It was still made of hardwood, more than an inch thick and more than thirty millimeters, but the height was cut to about the shoulders of a person, which would not affect the sight of the officers and soldiers behind.

Then it is no longer the upper buttress style, but two overhang style windows are opened on the board.

In the middle of the two handlebars, the height of the person squatting, opened a hanging window, usually the window baffle blocks, in wartime two brackets can slowly push the baffle forward and upward, revealing the shooting window, similar to the kind of push-up window.

This is used by the guns in the front row.

On the right, above the handlebar, there is also a hanging window, which is a little higher to the right, but still not very high.

This is used by the guns in the back row.

During the battle, the front row of gunmen squatted in front of the first hangover window, and most of the new guns in their hands could be poked out, while the back row of gunners were located in the back of the side, squatting on the right handlebar, and some firearms in their hands were sticking out, and they could also shoot calmly from the second hangover window.

And because it is a breech gun, after they are finished, they can be loaded on the spot, keep their posture unchanged, and do not need to move.

They can also listen to the orders of the headquarters or the Chinese army, and calmly shoot in a row, forming a volley.

And because they are all squatting and half-squatting to shoot, the gunners do not need to poke their heads out of the battlements to ensure their safety to the greatest extent, this person does not need to stand up, only hides behind the shield cart, and the enemy's projectile direct fire is useless.

When they squatted in front and back to shoot, because of the baffle, the arrows thrown and fell must be blocked by the baffle, and it is impossible for them to fall into the window.

If you shoot directly, this angle is too low, the arrows are actually parabola, and direct shooting is no exception, it's just a matter of degree.

It's so low that I'm afraid I can't squat down and shoot arrows.

The hanging window is also a large horizontal opening, and the line of sight is very good, so the soldiers can calmly aim and shoot.

In short, the design of Yang He's shield car can be said to give full play to the advantages of breech guns.

Of course, the 30-pound shield cart can only be protected against bows and arrows, not fireproofs.

Not to mention artillery. (To be continued.) )
