Because the archers of the Han army were generally weak, the officers in command did not ask them to shoot arrows when they reached 200 paces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the close distance, you can already see the situation on the other side of the wooden fence.

The place is very long, there are only more than 1,000 people in the defense line of one and a half miles, and the commanders of the gunners originally planned to use two columns to shoot in turn, but later they found out that except for a few places where the reserves can be left to strengthen, most of the places are a turnip and a pit, and it is just a distance of less than a step to put a gunner, and then want to arrange the second and third rows, it is a dream.

In the eyes of the Han soldiers, the opposite gunners could not see their faces clearly, and they could only observe them through the gap when they stood behind the wooden fence one by one, and when the Han soldiers found that only a few soldiers on the opposite side were wearing armor, 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, and there is nothing else except this benchmark.

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

The blow just now gave people a very terrifying feeling, and at two hundred paces, many people's hairs stood up, for fear that the sudden blow would fall on them.

Zhang Chunniu, Wen Zhongfa and others stood on the roof of a big cart and watched, the entire battle line of more than a mile long Houjin soldiers invested most of their troops at one time, and as far as the eye could see, there were eight banner soldiers like a long longitudinal line, white armor soldiers wearing bright silver armor, red armor soldiers wearing iron armor or cotton armor, a small number of cotton armor or chain armor and even no armor bannermen and Han troops.

The array of Houjin soldiers is very neat, even if it is the Han army, the officers stand on both sides of the column line and are responsible for commanding, they are either wearing bright armor, or wearing back flags, from the armor and back flag to determine the identity of the commander. The officers went from low to high, and their positions were also exquisite, Zhang Chunniu and Wen Zhongfa squinted at the back of the formation, and found Li Yongfang and Man Darhan and others under the banner.

"Old dog." Zhang Chunniu took a sip, his eyes full of disdain.

"The generals of Liaozhen have learned a lot from Li Yongfang." Wen Zhongfa also had a rare look of anger in his eyes, which was very rare for a former intelligence officer.

"In the future, you have to delay this person to relieve your anger."

Zhang Chunniu said another sentence and looked at the battlefield again.

Wearing dyed blue or cyan arrow robes, the Han soldiers covered with cotton armor are getting closer and closer, their array is a small circle array on top of a small circle, like layers of fish scales accumulating together, this is a standard infantry array attack array, from the eyes of the insider, the array of the Houjin side is very neat, the position of the spear and knife player, and the archer is very reasonable, and the pace of progress is also very even, this is obviously a well-trained, experienced and experienced strong army.

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

The soldiers on both sides were breathing rapidly, and finally, when they reached nearly a hundred paces, Houjin received an arrow command.

Li Mingli and the others were shocked, and immediately stopped.

Of course, this distance is a throw, everyone has already taken the bow and arrow in their hands, Li Mingli is a relatively well-made iron tire step bow, two long and slightly long, the bow shape is one word, a typical clear bow method, but his strength is not very large, barely reaching the minimum ten force standard, compared to the Jurchen archer's strong bow

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), his strength is very ordinary, that is, he has just reached the level of the passing line.

Everyone held the arrows in the standard Mongolian shooting method, and after hearing the clear command, Li Mingli and his companions raised the bow and arrow diagonally to the sky, and after roughly aiming and measuring the distance, pulled the bowstring, and then released the fingers.

Hundreds of bows and arrows rang out together, and then the sound of relaxation burst out at once.

A large number of cotton-like crashing sounds continued one after another, and then there was the "buzzing" sound of the arrows when they were volleyed into the air, and when the arrows flew behind the opposite fence, Li Mingli and the others 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 great, but the Qing bow does not pay attention to the range and distance, although it is already 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 Jurchen concept is to break armor and kill first, if it is just far away and can not break armor and hurt people, then what is the point of shooting far?

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

Even so, after a few more steps forward, a second round of arrows was thrown.

The sky was full of locust-like arrows, and the powerful arrows buzzed in the air, and the shafts of the arrows trembled, and under the kinetic energy and inertia, the arrows flew towards the side of the wooden fence that was all over the guns.

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

It seems that there is a hard-working woodpecker constantly pecking at the wooden fence, the first round of arrow rain mostly falls on the wooden fence, as if the rain keeps making a tuk sound, the tip of the arrow keeps penetrating the wooden fence, revealing most of the arrow body, there are also quite a lot of arrows directly from the air to the side of the gunner, or fall to the ground, and some fall on the human body.

There were shouts one after another in the array of guns, although most of the people were wearing cotton armor or chain mail, but there were also some people only wearing jackets, after all, this is a team of soldiers, all the armor is not possible at present, the soldiers fighting in the grassland are part of the fort, and they are all armored when they go out of the fort to undertake the task of fighting, but this time they rushed to help Liao Town, the main task is to transport food, who would have expected that at this time, the generals of Liao Town refused to take the heaviest responsibility, Instead, he threw the soldiers and the Heyusheng men of the Thirteen Mountains at the forefront, and Li Yongfang fought hard under the supervision of Mandarhan, so there was this unexpected fierce battle!

Many unfortunate soldiers without armor were hit by arrows, they were pierced by arrows in their arms, and the arrows were still trembling in their arms, and some were shot in the lower abdomen, thighs, calves, and soles.

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 of the soldier who 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 medics, the commotion on the front gradually stopped, but a second round of arrows fell

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) come, this time because the distance is closer, there are more wounded.

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 medic shook his head and told the hand to be covered with a white cloth.

"Don't rush." Zhang Chunniu was just about to give the order, Wen Zhongfa shook his head on the side, and said: "Our reserve team has limited manpower, there is no way to shoot in rotation, and the best results will be played in the first round, I suggest that we play later." ”

Zhang Chunniu said: "Then the troops will have to endure one or two rounds of closer arrow rain." ”

Wen Zhong said: "Isn't this what the army does? ”

Zhang Chunniu gritted his teeth and looked at Wen Zhongfa deadly.

Wen Zhong's face was not different, and he didn't seem to have any psychological burden. He just "suggested", after all, the soldiers were under his and Bald's control, but the soldiers were in charge of Zhang Chunniu, and under the premise that Li Pingzhi did not come to the front line to coordinate, the various ministries could only fight this battle according to their own organizational leadership, although Wen Zhongfa's official position was much higher than Zhang Chunniu's, and his qualifications were much older.

Li Pingzhi and others haven't rushed over yet, and Wen Zhongfa doesn't care about it.

Although it is said that the current internal atmosphere and environment of He Yusheng are okay, Wenwu Shutu does not have a good impression of Wen Zhongfa, a white-faced scholar like Li Pingzhi, and does not trust it.

"Okay, just follow Commander Wen's 'suggestion'." Zhang Chunniu finally made up his mind, the situation in front of him was like this, the army had to bear some casualties, even if it was the support troops.

There were constantly soldiers screaming or screaming and falling, and there were obviously some vacant positions behind the wooden fence, but fortunately, the Han army's bows and arrows and archery skills were unsatisfactory, and the battle losses of the soldiers did not reach an unacceptable level.

A faint smell of blood permeated, and the officers' faces became solemn.

Prior to this, because they had always faced the bows and arrows of the Mongols, and the people of Yusheng had always regarded bows and arrows as useless things, and even some officers ridiculed them as children's toys, today's battle has just begun, and bows and arrows have shown enough power.

The field hospital behind him is the best proof of this, and the corpses covered with white cloths are also the most obvious proof.

When the Han army advanced to about sixty paces, the sound of the fire guns that the two sides had been waiting for still did not sound, but on the side of the Che Ying, due to the more violent rain of arrows and greater pressure, the small artillery finally began to fire, and the dull and not strong sound of artillery bombardment broke the monotonous sound of the bowstring, and also brought some vitality to the somewhat dull and depressed queue of baggage.

At this time, there was no possibility of exchanging discussions, the enemy was close at hand, and the situation was very tight, but the soldiers could not help but look at their left hand side...... The artillery there was bursting with fire.

Everyone felt the uplift, and when they saw the cannonballs explode in the construction team, and when they saw someone being blown up in the air, the feeling of relieving hatred and relieving anger made many people relax, no longer holding the fire gun in their hands, and pinching their knuckles white.

It's a pity that the number of artillery pieces is too small, and the power of these small cannons is still a little smaller, a round of shells passed, only a few Jianlu were killed or injured, and more human archers were not affected, but the figure of these Jurchen archers was a little lower.

Unlike the bows and arrows of the Han army, the arrows of the Jurchens were more stable, more accurate, and more powerful.
