In addition to these grenadier sword and shield soldiers who caused chaos, Chen Jian also gathered all the carpenters and wheelsmiths in the city, and spent more than ten days making a simple chariot. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The chariot was about six feet long and was drawn by two horses, because the more horses, the more difficult it was to control, and because the horses galloped at different speeds, the more horses there were, the slower the chariot actually had.

The standard configuration of the chariot is three people, in the middle is Mite, who carries only a short bronze sword, and usually mainly controls the chariot, and only gets off the chariot for foot combat after the chariot is damaged.

The man on the right is armed with a modified spear, somewhat similar to a halberd, which can be used to stab and kill the enemy on the right with a hook during a high-speed charge, while his task is to protect the chariot and pad the mud pit by jumping out of the chariot after it has fallen into a mud puddle.

The reason why he stands on the right side is because he holds a weapon in his right hand, which maximizes the range of the assassination impact.

The man on the left side of the chariot is armed with a bow and a javelin, which is much easier than riding a horse, which can be easily dealt with by standing on the chariot when it is bumpy and cannot be borrowed, and can be used to shoot arrows at the enemy before the charge, and to throw short spears and javelins when close to the back.

The front of the three men was covered with animal skins as a carriage, which belonged to a heavy shock chariot, which was mainly used to open gaps.

If the infantry wants to fight, they must form a formation, once the formation is dispersed, the fate of the infantry is to be slaughtered, and the war of this era mainly depends on who can tear apart the opponent's military formation first.

The chariot had a huge advantage in the stirrup era, and once it was charged, it could easily break through the not very tight military formation.

As for the cavalry, before the advent of stirrups, the period of training cavalry among agrarian peoples was very long, and it also took an extremely long time to train the impact.

Before that, Chen Jian had already stipulated that the land of each tribe must be cultivated in accordance with the regulations, and the three ditches were just enough to accommodate the wheels of the chariot, including when the church planted in Echeng, the width of the ditches was also rigidly stipulated, even if it was a small wooden plow, the width of the five ditches was exactly the same as the wheel base of the chariot.

In addition, with Natsujo as the center, the ditches of the land are arranged in a strict east-west, north-south direction, so there will be no bumps in the wheels in the event of a head-on impact.

The chariot is not suitable for a rear attack, the most suitable is just frontal, especially the front of the current military formation, which is not too dense, it can be said that as long as a surprise attack, the opponent's infantry can fall into chaos and there is a gap.

Perhaps after a few engagements, the enemy may improve the infantry formation in order to deal with the chariots, and may line up very closely, using spear or shield arrays like hedgehogs to withstand the impact of the chariots.

There is no need to worry, the grenadier sword and shield soldiers trained by Chen Jian can play a role, using black powder to blow up the gap, and the dense formation is the best stage for black powder weapons.

When the time comes, it depends on the adaptability of the commander on the opposite side, in order to prevent the combat vehicle from impacting the densely organized formation? Or in order to reduce the casualties and confusion of black powder, disperse the military formation?

No matter how you choose, at least in the plains and at your doorstep, the initiative of the battle is in the hands of Jian Chen, as long as he seizes the opportunity of the other party's hesitation, he can turn the tide of the battle.

Nowadays, most of the towns live along the river, and the land chosen is flat and suitable for planting, which also creates an excellent stage for the chariot to play.

This kind of heavy plain strongest shock class is extremely expensive, and it is by no means something that a tribe can afford to use with its own people, and once this chariot achieves great results in the war, the deterrent effect formed will keep the tribes from disagreeing, so that the new military aristocracy will gradually have power, and at the same time be constrained by the city.

If the city officials wanted to win more and gain more benefits, they had to rely on these new military aristocrats who could fight by car; The new military aristocracy had to rely on the various officials in the city if they wanted to own chariots but could afford the wear and tear of chariots, which was a constraint.

The first chariot was very imperfect, there were many flaws, and the skills of the people who drove it could not be fully controlled, and once it was impacted, it could neither turn nor stop, and it needed to be continuously improved, and when the technology matured, the horses could be raised to four, so that the impact would be stronger.

The harness of a horse is different from that of a cow. The ox relied on the neck and immediately on the breast, and understood the difference, and made use of the tribal skins and all kinds of wood to make a harness that could be improvised, and let the copper smelter make the horse's head and bit.

In addition to the three people on the chariot, a chariot needs to be followed by about twenty infantrymen, and these twenty infantry are also new troops, and they need to learn to follow the chariot to attack the gap and expand the range of the gap.

Ordinary archers and the army that covers the formation of the army are not out-of-production professional soldiers, but ordinary soldiers and auxiliaries recruited from the city, they will consume the opponent's sharpness and create opportunities for the chariot to charge, they do not need to follow the chariot charge.

Four squads of five plus three tanks as one combat unit, called a multiplier.

In the future, the battle in the plains needs to use the chariot as the core of the attack, too many clansmen can't master the tactics, and Chen Jian is not the kind of genius who can perfectly seize the fighter, this kind of fresh method may take a long time.

In addition to the fifty sword and shield soldiers who were specially trained for next year, and the one hundred and ten new troops who were out of production, Chen Jian was only going to organize the combat units of the three vehicles for the time being, that is, seventy people.

These seventy people will use this chariot for training in batches, the production speed of the chariot is very slow, but the training cannot be stopped, while the first chariot is trained, the remaining two multiplication soldiers train five people to cooperate with the killing of the enemy and the formation of a team to attack.

The remaining forty were trained as specialized archers, and it would take at least two or three years for a qualified archer to be trained.

It is not that the archer who can draw the bow and shoot the arrow is a qualified archer, the archer needs to master the skill of projectile, calculate the distance and choose the appropriate elevation angle according to the usual training, so as to ensure that the projectile hits the military formation 100 steps away, which few people in the entire city can do.

The archers' operations also revolved around the chariot, and they were responsible for suppressing the chariot before it charged.

If the chariot could not open the situation, they had to follow behind the infantry and shoot straight at a distance of about thirty paces from the enemy formation, relying on heavy arrows to loosen the opponent's formation and prepare for the infantry charge.

These forty full-time archers and fifty sword and shield men needed to be specially trained to ride horses, not as cavalry, but as fast and mobile mounted infantry.

If the front is really stalemate, they can use the mobility of their horses to quickly get to the flank of the enemy formation, and even if the pottery powder bomb is not successful, they can also use the impact of the sword and shield soldiers to cooperate with the archers to break the opposing flank or directly attack the opponent's commander.

The entire training of the 160-strong new army was on the offensive, and the offensive required the most skill, and the first few combat off-attacks were not well fought.

The recruited soldiers were trained in the autumn and winter slack, which could guarantee defense in this era, and what Chen Jian lacked was the means of attack.

In the previous life, when the nations were in dispute, the number of chariots was often used to describe the strength of the country, and the saying of the country of a thousand times and the country of ten thousand times was endless.

An analogy can be seen that Xia Cheng's strength is full of strength, and it is only a country of three vehicles...... (To be continued.) )
