Chapter Eighty-Five: Archery

Seeing their silence, Shi Jin touched his nose.

Well, it seems that the last incident made them all scared.

That's not going to work, I don't dare to speak. What objections are there to this meeting!

Shi Jin showed a sunny smile and whispered to Song Wan kindly, "Brother Song, tell me what you think?" Don't be afraid, big brother, I'm not a man-eating monster. Won't eat you! Tell me about it! ”

When Song Wanyi heard this, he immediately stood up and said in a panic: "That, that, the eldest brother led our Liangshan army to fight really well, not ordinarily good, but great." If the command of the eldest brother is determined, Lu Gong and Han Xin will be the same......"

Hearing Song Wan's kind words and throw it over as if he didn't want money, Shi Jin hurriedly shouted, "Brother Song is too awarded, let's listen to what the other brothers think first!" ”

If Lao Tzu listens to good words, then you still need to speak, Zhou Tong's kung fu is much higher than yours.

Shi Jin looked at Wu Song and asked, "Brother Wu, do you think there is anything else we need to improve in the Liangshan Army?" ”

Wu Song had not experienced the last seizure of power, and his personality was relatively upright, so he immediately shouted, "Big brother, the soldiers of our Liangshan Army lack armor, if there is armor." Last time we had fewer casualties! ”

Shi Jin immediately shouted when he heard it, "Brother Wu said well!" Zhu Wu recorded that the lack of armor was, well, for the brotherhood to find a way to improve it. Anything else? ”

Wu Song thought for a moment and shook his head.

Shi Jin looked at Lin Chong with a little warning in his eyes.

Song Wan was taken back last time, and he can be forgiven for his concerns. But you, you took advantage of it last time, if you dare to fool Lao Tzu.

Lao Tzu let you guard Liangshan for the rest of your life, and never take you out again!

Receiving the warning from his eldest brother Shi Jin, Lin Chong hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Big brother, in the battle of Zhujiazhuang, they have more cavalry than us, but they have not exerted the combat effectiveness of cavalry. It shows that the previous big brother's strategy was right, and the soldier should concentrate on training and fighting in order to give full play to his combat effectiveness. Lin Chong suggested that all the war horses captured this time should be incorporated into the eldest brother's cavalry battalion and not scattered! ”

Although there is still a feeling of avoiding the important and trivial, but seeing that he affirmed Lao Tzu's opinion last time, what he said this time can be regarded as a discussion, so let's pass it for the time being.

Shi Jin looked at Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu hurriedly stood up and said, "Big brother, although the return cannon is huge, its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, it moves slowly, and the accuracy is very poor, and it is okay to attack the city wall and the like." The field is much worse. Zhu Wu felt that we should create a sharp weapon that could also strike the enemy from a distance in the field. ”

Thankfully, someone is willing to use their brains.

A ranged attack weapon for field warfare!

Shi Jin thought about it in his mind and found that he had no knowledge about this.

The Huihui Cannon was made after watching the model in a historical TV series that he participated in, and with the knowledge of physics in high school.

Now if you want to create a long-range weapon suitable for field combat, it's better to leave it to the professional!

Shi Jin said, "Brother Zhu, what you said is very reasonable, you should make such a weapon. However, all of this requires the help of carpenters and blacksmiths. Zhu Gui! ”

Zhu Gui hurriedly stood up and said, "Big brother, what are your orders?" ”

Shi Jin said, "You should keep an eye out for any blacksmiths and carpenters, and try your best to invite them up the mountain." Got it? ”

"Yes, big brother!" Zhu Gui replied.

Shi Jin said, "Speaking of long-range strike weapons, we have captured a lot of good bows this time, just enough to form a battalion of archers. Which of your brothers is better at archery and can train archers? ”

Several of the leaders here shook their heads when they heard you look at me.

What the?

Not a single bow and arrow is passable!

Shi Jin was taken aback, this bow and arrow was not a basic skill for generals.

I didn't expect that the level of generals in the Song Dynasty was so poor, and there were not even a few good bows and arrows.

Shi Jin thought for a while, it seems that since the Song Dynasty, there are fewer and fewer Han generals who can have good archery skills.

Even the archers in the army are becoming less and less.

Among the infantry, there were many spearmen and swordsmen, but there were not many archers.

This is also one of the reasons for the poor performance of foreign races, especially the northern nomads, since the Tang Dynasty.

You must know that from ancient times to the present, the most important thing in the battle between the two armies is the means of long-range strikes.

Nomads, nomads can defeat the Han army basically by riding and shooting.

If the Han army has the ability to strike long-range, it will definitely not suffer.

Just like during the Han Dynasty, when Li Ling led 5,000 soldiers and horses to go deeper, he was surrounded by 60,000 Xiongnu cavalry, and he was able to fight and retreat, killing and wounding thousands of Xiongnu cavalry.

In the end, if the arrows were not exhausted, they would have returned to Dahan safely, and they would not have been forced to surrender.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, firearms were an important reason for the defeat of Mongolia.

An important reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to dominate the Central Plains was that they attached more importance to artillery than the Ming Dynasty and forged more ferocious artillery with a longer range.

But it is a pity that neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Qing Dynasty, in the later period, political corruption and military abandonment did not develop weapons with more long-range strike capabilities.

In modern times, they have repeatedly lost to foreign invaders, ceded land and paid compensation, and lost power and humiliated the country.

In the Anglo-Spanish naval battle, Britain was able to defeat the Spanish Armada because their artillery had a longer range than the Spanish artillery.

Modern warfare attaches great importance to long-range strike means, and the most representative weapon is missiles.

Whether it's a fighter, a warship, or even a nuclear weapon, you need missiles to exert their power.

Now that he can't forge a qualified rifle and cannon chamber, Shi Jin wants to form a bow battalion to make a transition and increase his strength.

Shi Jin thought for a while and asked, "Then do you know that there are any heroes on the rivers and lakes who are famous for their archery?" ”

Zhu Gui, who has always paid attention to Qingzhou's intelligence, immediately said, "Big brother, if you want to say that you are famous for archery, Zhu Gui knows that the most powerful one is Huarong Huazhizhai in Qingfeng Village." He is nicknamed Xiao Li Guang, has superb archery skills, and can penetrate Yang in 100 steps. ”

Hearing Hua Rong's name, Shi Jin nodded. This Hua Rong is the best archery among the 108 heroes of Liangshan, if he is willing to go up the mountain, it should not be difficult to train excellent archers with his ability.

Shi Jin asked, "Brother Zhu, can you invite this little Li Guanghuarong to go up the mountain?" ”

Zhu Gui hesitated for a moment and said, "Big brother, I'm afraid it's difficult." He is an official of the imperial court, and we have no friendship with him, so I am afraid that I will not go up the mountain easily. Zhu Gui could only say try his best, but he didn't dare to guarantee it. ”

Shi Jin heard that he was not very sure that he could invite Hua Rong, so he asked, "Then besides this Hua Rong, who else is good at archery." It's better to be a hero on the rivers and lakes! ”

Li Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, when I was performing in Jiangnan in the past, I heard that there was a good man Pang Wanchun who was good at using bows and arrows, nicknamed "Xiao Yang Yuji", and I heard that he also had the ability to wear Yang in a hundred steps. ”

"Little Yang Yuki" Pang Wanchun!

Hearing this name, Shi Jin was in a trance.

Dog's day, Li Zhong didn't say it, Lao Tzu almost forgot about it.

If Lao Tzu hadn't been reborn, Shi Jin would have been shot to death by this bastard.

Why don't you send someone to do this first?

Shi Jin was in a trance, and Zhu Fu shouted again and again, "Big brother, big brother ......"

Shi Jin came back to his senses and said, "Brother Zhu, what's the matter?" ”

Zhu Fu said, "Big brother, since that Pang Wanchun's archery skills are powerful, how about Zhu Fu personally visit him and invite him to go up the mountain?" ”

When Shi Jin heard that he was going to invite Pang Wanchun up the mountain, he thought for a while and said, "Okay, there is Brother Lao Xian." I heard that Jiangnan Jiankang has a divine doctor An Daoquan, and when the virtuous brother went to Jiangnan to invite Pang Wanchun, he also invited An Daoquan to go up the mountain by the way. The sword on the field has no eyes, and there is a divine doctor by his side, so he has a few more chances of survival! ”

Zhu Fu heard that he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes, big brother." ”

After discussing it for a while, the others either had scruples or no pen and ink in their chests.

Shi Jin saw that it would not be of much use to discuss any further, so he shouted, "Brothers, today's discussion will be held here first, and everyone will go back and think about the content of the discussion, so as to improve the combat effectiveness of their troops." Maybe one day there will be another big war! ”

The leaders present stood up and arched their hands, "Yes, big brother!" ”

Shi Jin waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhu Fuxian will stay for the time being, and the others can disperse!" ”

Seeing that the other leaders had gone away, Shi Jin said to Zhu Fu, "Brother Xian, before you leave, write a letter for your brother." You can show it to him when you recruit Antao, and I believe that after reading the contents of the letter, he will follow you up the mountain! ”

Shi Jin paused for a moment, and said with a stern expression, "That Pang Wanchun is of great use to me Liangshan, whether you are abducted or deceived by the pit gate, or whether you directly sent someone to tie up that guy, you must take that guy up the mountain for me!" ”

Hearing what Shi Jin said so seriously, Zhu Fu immediately shouted, "Big brother, don't worry, Zhu Fu knows what to do!" ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Brother Xian, go down and clean up!" ”

Pang Wanchun, you'd better get acquainted, otherwise Lao Tzu won't mind killing you first!
