The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

The archers of the Dingnan Army were all selected by Qin Haoming from the Tianxiong Army, and they were also considered strong opponents. But in a real sense, there is still a distance from Jiannu.

Qin Haoming himself has also practiced archery in the past two years, which is more than 100 times stronger than at the beginning, but it is far worse than the Jiannu shooter.

The bow strength of the Ming army was generally not strong, most of them less than ten strengths.

According to the calculations of later generations, the traditional bows of these Ming armies were only about sixty pounds, which was indeed much weaker than the general strength of more than 100 pounds or even more than 150 pounds in the Later Jin soldiers.

Jiannu's 150 pounds are also a rare marksman, and according to the calculation of the compound bow of later generations, there are also about forty-five pounds.

This force is enough to penetrate the brick wall within a hundred steps, and the arrow trembles but does not fall, and goes deep into the brick.

In such a situation, if you have to forcibly compare bows and arrows with Jiannu, it is undoubtedly self-defeating martial arts and stupidity.

The general in charge of commanding the Han army flag on the front line was Shang Kexi's younger brother Shang Kewei, and because the archers of the Han army flag were generally weak, he did not ask them to shoot arrows when they walked to 200 steps.

The distance was so close that I could barely see the situation in the city.

In the eyes of the Han military banner, the gunners on the opposite side could not see their faces clearly, and they stood behind the suspension one by one, and could only observe them through the gaps.

When the Han military banner found that only a few soldiers on the opposite side were wearing armor, and most of them were also cotton armor or no armor soldiers, they were much more courageous.

In this era, armor or non-armor is definitely the standard for judging whether the army is elite or not. There is nothing else but this benchmark.

When they walked to about one hundred and fifty paces, the Han army banners and Tartar soldiers on the entire front couldn't help but bow their waists.

The Dingnan army is sharp, and it is very different from other Ming armies, whether it is the Han army flag or the Tartars, they have all been taught.

At 200 paces, I heard that it can kill people.

Qin Haoming, Yan Yingyuan and others stood in the relatively safe observation post, silently watching the situation on the front line.

It's time for a decisive battle!

On the entire five-mile-long front, Jiannu invested most of his troops at one time.

As far as the eye can see, there are tides of Eight Banners everywhere. White-armored soldiers wearing bright silver armor, red-armored soldiers wearing iron armor or cotton armor, a small number of cotton armor or chain armor or even unarmored bannermen followed the army and the Han army.

But at the forefront, it is still the Han military flag that is still gratifying.

The array of Jiannu is very neat, even if it is the Han military flag.

The officers stood on both sides of the column line and were in charge of commanding, and they were either wearing bright armor or carrying flags, and the identity of the commander was determined from the style of the armor and the back flag.

The officers went from low to high, and their positions were also exquisite, Qin Haoming squinted at the back of the formation, and found Shang Kexi and other Han army generals under the banner.

"Old dog." Qin Haoming took a sip, his eyes full of disdain.

I have to say that it is the same Ming army, but the Han army banner that surrendered Jiannu has a big difference in array and momentum.

"In the future, you have to delay this person to relieve your anger." Qin Haoming said another sentence and turned his gaze back to the battlefield.

Dressed in dyed blue or cyan quiver robes, the Han army flags covered with cotton armor were getting closer and closer, and their arrays were stacked in small circles, like layers of fish scales accumulating together.

This is a standard infantry attack array, and from the eyes of an insider, the array on the rear side of the Jiannu side is very neat.

The pikemen, sword players, and archers were well placed and the pace was evenly matched, making it clear that they were a well-trained, battle-hardened and experienced army.

Even if the main force on the front is an army composed of Han military flags.

The soldiers on both sides were breathing rapidly, and finally, when they reached nearly 100 paces, an arrow command came from the Jiannu side.

Shang Kewei and the others were shocked, and immediately stopped. This distance, of course, is a throw, and everyone has already taken the bow and arrow in their hands.

Shang Kewei is a relatively well-made iron tire step bow, two long and slightly long, the bow type is a word, a typical clear bow method.

But his strength is not very large, barely reaching the minimum ten strength standard, compared to the strong bow of the Jiannu archer, his strength is very ordinary, that is, just to the level of the passing line.

Everyone held the arrows in the standard Mongolian archery method, and after hearing the clear order, Shang Kewei and the Han army flag beside him raised the bow and arrow diagonally to the sky.

After roughly aiming and measuring the distance, pull the bowstring and release your fingers.

The sound of thousands of bows and arrows pulling together and then relaxing burst out at once. The sound of collapse like a large amount of cotton was constantly being played.

Then there was the "buzzing" sound of the arrow breaking through the air, and after the arrow flew in the air to the opposite hanging, Shang Kewei put the second arrow on it.

Their movements are not very fast, and they are not in a hurry to pull the string to shoot the second one, but they adjust their strength and breathing unhurriedly.

The power of the infantry bow is very great, but the Qing bow does not pay attention to the range and distance, although it is much farther than the cavalry bow of the Mongol cavalry.

The characteristics of the Qing bow are the most particular about the power of arrows and armor piercing, the concept of Jiannu is to break armor and kill first, if it is just far away and can not break the armor and hurt people, then what is the point of shooting far?

What is even less important is the rate of fire, because each arrow must maintain considerable penetration and damage, and the sacrifice is range and rate of fire.

This is the opposite of the Mongols, each side has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The Mongols were good at mobile warfare, and they could not exert their strength on horseback, and they required fast and accurate archery.

Jiannu is good at foot combat, and can exert force on land, so it is natural to pay attention to power.

After a few more steps, a second round of arrows was fired.

The sky was filled with locust-like arrows, powerful and buzzing in the air, their shafts trembling, and under the kinetic energy and inertia, the arrows flew towards the hanging side of the gunslingers.

"Poof, poof, poof......"

"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"

It was as if an industrious woodpecker was pecking at the hanging and shield, and the first round of arrow rain mostly fell on it, making a non-stop tuk-tuk sound like rain.

The tip of the arrow kept piercing and hanging, revealing most of the arrow's body.

There were also quite a few arrows that fell directly from mid-air to the gunner's side, or landed on the ground, and some of them landed on people's bodies.

There was a shout of shouts from the array of guns, and while most of them were wearing cotton armor or chain mail, some were wearing only jackets.

This is the Dingnan Army recruited from the Liaodong Peninsula, and it is not realistic to wear all the armor at present.

With such a dense rain of arrows, many people without armor were unfortunately hit by arrows.

Of course, there were also many armor-clad gunners who were also hit by arrows.

They were pierced through their arms by arrows, and the arrows were still shaking as they stuck in their arms. There are also people who are shot in the lower abdomen, thighs, and soles.

The armor only protects a part of the body, and there is no way to protect the whole body.

The medics ran over and, with the help of their assistants, brought the victim down for emergency treatment.

"Don't panic, call a bird." A bearded military doctor patted the hand that was hit by an arrow in the chest, and scolded with a smile: "Just stick the arrow in it, you are so ghostly, you are not ashamed." ”

"Cut the shaft of the arrow first, and then take the arrow!"

"Prepare the hemostatic medicine first, take the arrow so rashly, you want him to bleed to death, don't you?"

Thanks to the efforts of the medical officers, the commotion on the front gradually stopped. However, a second round of arrows fell, this time with more wounded due to the closer.

One of the gunners was shot in the neck by an arrow, and the arrow pierced through the neck, slicing an artery and sending blood gushing wildly.

The medical officer shook his head and ordered the hand to be covered with a white cloth.

"Don't rush." Xiao Fei was just about to give the order to shoot, but Lin Mian, the military and political officer, shook his head on the side and said:

"We have limited manpower, and we can't brave the rain of arrows to shoot in rotation, so we have to get the best results in the first round, so I suggest we play later."

Xiao Fei frowned, "Then the troops will have to endure one or two more rounds of closer arrow rain." ”

Lin Mian said: "Isn't this what the army does?" ”

Xiao Fei gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Mian deadly.

Lin Mian's face was not different, and he didn't seem to have any psychological burden.

After all, he only has the right to suggest, and the soldiers on this line are under Xiao Fei's control.

Under the premise that Shangguan did not go to the front line to coordinate, each ministry could only fight this battle according to its own organizational leadership.

Military and political officers Lin Mian and Xiao Fei are at the same level, and there is no relationship between the two and their superiors. But the front-line commander is Xiao Fei, and it is reasonable for Lin Mian to make suggestions based on the battlefield situation.

Although it is said that the current internal atmosphere and environment of the Southern Army are quite acceptable, Wenwu Shutu, Xiao Fei and Lin Mian sometimes have different views.

"Okay, just follow Lin Junzheng's suggestion."

Xiao Fei finally made up his mind, the situation in front of him was like this, the army had to bear some casualties.
