Chapter 285: Dare to Learn from Your Opponent!
From the arraignment reports of these Japanese samurai, Captain Huang Zu understood that the Satsuma Domain area was really a poor place, no wonder they even had to grab sweet potatoes and potatoes...... And the clothes on their bodies are basically in tatters, even if they look neat, you can see that there are countless patches!
He suddenly had no idea of beating them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhang Guoan's success in fighting the base camp of the Huangdao Navy had too much impact on him, and he really wanted to learn from it, but Japan was too unworthy of his attack.
He had heard the owner of Zhang Island say that the level of a sea boat can see the level of development of this place.
They're all dhows!
So, if you don't want to have any illusions about Japan's wealth, you will definitely die of poverty!
This victory made the people of Beishan Island ecstatic, they saw the cooperation of their own army and the Liuqiu Guard, and some strong men among the people also participated...... From then on, they had developed a contempt for the so-called Japanese samurai, and of course, they also needed to train Captain Huang Zu and his men to protect them forever.
The crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom couldn't sleep happily for several days, and he already admired Captain Huang Zu so much!
It was a beautiful battle of annihilation, defeating the Japanese samurai, which was nothing, but not a single one was injured, and none of them were allowed to run away, which is really not easy!
So he stayed by Captain Huang Zu's side all day long, and he didn't leave when people were in meetings, which annoyed the family, but he was the prince, and he still had face.
He didn't expect that when Captain Huang Zu and his subordinates imitated the post-war summary of the half-sized people like Zhang Daozhu, they found that they had more and more shortcomings......
The first is that he should never have blocked those people at both ends!
This behavior not only limits the number of shots you can shoot first, but also makes it easy to accidentally injure your teammates...... Actually, Zhang Daozhu talked about this problem. However, Captain Huang Zu found that his understanding of muskets was still a bit stuck at the bow and arrow level.
Captain Huang Zu honestly admitted this shortcoming.
The second is that his artillery is not utilized...... This thing can be mixed with archers, and besides, the Ryukyu Congress plays with bows and arrows so much, and the artillery can be placed in front of it, so that the archers are responsible for protecting the artillerymen.
When the enemy is far away. You can hit them directly with a fire cap mini gun, just like in this battle, if the enemy can resist the fire cap mini gun, then put them within range of the cannon and hit them directly!
Why use expensive grenades?!
After the first round of artillery fire, the archers are responsible for the defense of the near area, and the fire cap mini is also involved, so there is no problem......
Captain Huang Zu nodded earnestly and admitted: "You can wait until the last critical time to strike at it." One grenade is enough to fire ten cannons, and this battle is ...... It's a waste of military money, but the twelve small boats can be filled with some topping. ”
The crown prince of the Ryukyus Kingdom was stunned by the side...... When he was in the Badaohe region, he had never participated in such a meeting, so he didn't expect that a big victory could find so many faults!
He stammered, "Those dhows...... The fishermen will pay for it, those grenades. My father will buy it again, and he will save some more ......."
Captain Huang Zu beat his forehead and said, "It's completely possible to have the same casualties." And you can save more military resources, fight, you can't fight and get poorer......"
Well, the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom is speechless, war is supposed to cost money, and there are few people in the world who can be like the owner of Zhang. Fight a big battle, and gain more?!
Captain Huang Zu whispered: "You haven't heard Master Zhang explain the fighting methods of the Tatar bandit group, why do they fight stronger and stronger, and moreover, they can actually fight to the extreme west?" ”
Captain Huang Zu went on to say:
"Exactly three points...... One is that they eat the enemy. Some people say that they feed on the mare's milk, which is ridiculous, how can mare's milk fill people?! They are walking all the way and eating all the way, and only then do they get richer and richer!
The second is that they are good at evoking evil in people, so that those who follow them can grab objects and can be captured at will...... If they do all kinds of evil, let me ask, after they will slaughter every city, where will the wealth go? Who killed them?! I heard that the real Tatars are only a few hundred thousand, less than the people of my Great Song County------- where did the millions of male soldiers come from??
The third is that they are really good at learning, and they borrow anything that is useful to me at once, and they are never arrogant------ so they never kill their opponent's craftsmen!
Everyone said that the enemy's success must have a reason for his success, and the enemy taught me what to wait for?! ”
For a moment, the entire room, including the crown prince of the Ryukyus Kingdom, fell into deep thought.
Captain Huang Zu unconsciously learned from Zhang Guoan, he turned his back and looked at each of them with blazing eyes, his eyes full of encouragement for others to speak.
Captain Huang Zu's success is not accidental, of course, it has to do with his style of play, and most importantly, their weapons.
In fact, if this group of Japanese thieves had been equipped with a Japanese longbow, they would have almost suffered casualties.
In this time and space, Japanese longbows have their own characteristics.
It is short at the bottom and long at the top, unlike other bows that are symmetrical.
The Japanese believe that the longer the bow, the longer the range, and the more powerful it is, so the longbow can be more than two meters long, but the Japanese are short, and it is best to hold the longbow at a third of the length.
As a result, the upper arc of the Japanese longbow accounts for two-thirds of the total length of the bow, in other words, the system of the Japanese bow is long at the top and short at the bottom, and its size and length can also be called the largest bow in the world.
Due to the asymmetry between the top and bottom, the archer's hand can be held as far as one-third below the middle of the bow, and the bow body is divided by the place where the bow is held, and the top is weak and the bottom is strong.
The advantage of this is that the firing range is long, with an effective range of 300 meters, which is no less than the English longbow.
But the disadvantages were also obvious, the longbow was too large for cavalry use, and cavalry weapons were suitable for short, light weapons.
Moreover, the operation technique of the longbow is difficult and not easy to master, and it takes more than seven years to train a qualified longbowman.
Therefore, the Japanese longbowmen are the treasures of the daimyos, and it is impossible to follow them, the low-ranking samurai, to rob.
At this time, the Banto samurai were all equipped with Japanese longbows, so there was a saying that "the Banto samurai were invincible in the world" in the middle and late Heian period and the Kamakura period.
However, the Japanese longbow was mainly suitable for fighting against each other and defending the castle, and when the enemy army was close to the archer after the arrow cluster was fired, the archer would remove the bowstring and insert the iron spear head into one end of the bow, and it could also be used as a pikeman.
The Japanese longbow does look soft, but it has a long pull distance, so it can already compete with the English longbow in terms of energy storage.
Because the lethality of the longbow is based on the number of pounds, the see-saw, and the chord distance, as well as the energy conversion efficiency, so in addition to the pounds, their longbow is indeed very good.
This is also different from the hunting arrows used by hunters on Ryukyu Island, so when Captain Huang Zu and his subordinates discussed after the war, they mentioned the arrangement of using archers to protect the gunners, and the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom had some vague thoughts in his heart.
When Captain Huang Zu mentioned the three characteristics of the Tatar bandit group, his heart suddenly moved, and he said: "I understand, I can borrow Japanese longbows and learn from their strengths!" ”
Captain Huang Zu has never seen a Japanese longbow, so he can't say anything, but the spirit of the prince of the Ryukyus Kingdom who dares to learn will definitely be appreciated if Zhang Guoan is the lord of the island! (To be continued.) )
