The tribesmen don't know how to use arrows!

Even if there is, it doesn't shoot much, and it's not accurate!

Their bows and arrows were shot sparsely, and they shot indiscriminately before they even reached the distance, and fell far away in front of the Tang army, showing that they were very unprofessional. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The use of bows and arrows is by no means easy, different regions of the peoples have different attitudes towards the use of bows and arrows, the grassland area is open, as a long-range weapon of the bow and arrow is the most favored, nomads riding horses, take a bow, just so far away to fly a kite, can kill wild beasts and hang farming farmers.

The sky is high for birds to fly, and birds need hard bows, and nomads often shoot eagles.

This is not the case with the mountain bow, it cannot be too long, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and the bow that is too long is not easy to carry; It can't be too hard, it's too hard to pull away, especially when you need to pull it away quickly, it's really damn if you can't do it... On the mountain road, you may turn a rock and you will be greeted by a bear pounced on you!

Different from the grassland on the horse, the wolf in front, it has nowhere to hide, one arrow can come to the second arrow, so that the whole time, but the mountain people pay attention to the first hit, the first arrow misses, the prey will disappear in the mountain rock.

There is also a trouble, the mountain is high and humid, and it is not easy to save the bow and arrow.

Therefore, this group of tribesmen did not accompany the rain of arrows when they charged, which made the Tang army elated.

Feeling the earth tremble, the tribal army came quickly, and they flashed their sabers.

The Tang army was basically infantry, except for more than a hundred bantams (basically officers or scouts), they lined up in formation, lined up in dense formations, bows and arrows on the string, and stood proudly.

The Tang army, on the other hand, was about 30 paces forward, lying on the ground and not knowing what they were busy with.

When the tribal cavalry approached, they retreated unhurriedly to the front of the formation, picking up their spears.

Their spears were made of wood, steel with a bolt in the middle, which could be carried separately and used together, and were unique to the mountain infantry.

The first three rows were crouching, three layers of spears pointed forward, like hedgehogs spreading their thorns.

The tribesmen rushed without hesitation, fifty paces away!

The officers of the Tang Army raised their sabers, and everyone pulled the strings!

Seeing the excited faces of the tribesmen, they opened their mouths wide and shouted, roaring and charging.

But the banner of the front army did not move, the military horn did not sound, the command knife held high by the officer did not fall, everyone was just prepared.

Thirty steps away!

I could only hear the neighing of the horse that rushed to the front, and it overturned violently to the right, and the horse's body fell to the ground with a bang, and the splashed mud and gravel even bounced onto the Tang army's formation!

Awesome!

The horses of the tribesmen rushed urgently, fell heavily, and the people turned over a large area on their backs, which was a grand sight!

Resist the rush of the horse team!

There are many ways to deal with horse charges, one of which is the thistle, which has a simple appearance, and the main feature is four evenly distributed iron spikes, which are thrown on the ground when used, and there is always a thorn head pointing upwards.

As soon as the hooves of the rushing horses stepped on it, the cavalry was happy, and basically the horse's leg was gone!

Its history dates back to the Warring States period, when people used this gadget to deal with horses and guard, scattering it on the road, around the city walls, and throwing some on the road when they set up camp. The effect is very obvious, on a dark and windy night in the moon, the enemy wants to kill, and when he comes to rob the camp, he steps on this thing... So, it wasn't so easy to rob a camp in ancient times!

Having said that, Wei Xi went out to attack the West, and tribulus terrestris was used relatively rarely, basically not used.

He didn't need cavalry to deal with the enemy, his cavalry was so powerful that there was no need to use that gadget to harm people.

When his infantry was dispatched, the battalion was surrounded by a long wall and a deep ditch was dug, and a horse repelling gun could be used against the horses, that is, a short gun was placed on a crossbar, with the head of the gun facing outward, which was convenient to move (that is, a gun and a crossbar, assembled when used, it could be easily carried and carried everywhere), and the cost was low, so there was no need for thistles.

The fundamental reason is that he fights the world with a horse team, and he is afraid that after using thistle, the enemy will learn the same!

Tribulus terrestris, so to speak, is the ancient version of the "mine", the weapon of the poor!

Mines seem inconspicuous, in fact, in the war played a great role, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese military used it to deal with the Japanese, in World War II Soviet-German "Kursk" tank Armageddon, the Soviets built a three-mile deep mine array, no matter how elite the German army is, it is also fearful, dare to rush is death, death in vain.

In the same way, tribulus terrestris is so simple, take some bad iron casting, in addition to killing the horse's hooves on the spot, but also give "tetanus", in that period when there is no vaccine, no matter how many horses are afraid.

Even if Wei Xi is willing to spend the money, the horseshoe of the horseshoe nail is made of alloy steel! Tribulus terrestris is not worn, but the horse is easy to lose balance when stepping on it, and it is easy to lose balance if you want to not fall unless you are a very clever rider, otherwise you will fall down when you step on it.

The Tang army basically didn't use thistle, but it was equipped, and now this battle will be used by the Yin tribesmen.

They are relatively short tribulus terrestris, and they are covered with some soil, which is difficult to see.

Sure enough, when he hit the trick, the horses in front of him fell and fell, and the horses behind couldn't hold their feet, so they continued to rush, colliding with the horses in front of them, and kept falling.

The horses neighed and rolled on the ground in pain.

The cavalry was miserable and fell straight to the ground, some broke their necks on the spot, and some of them were pressed by the horses and could not get up.

The horses from farther hath rushed in, and with all their might, they slammed the reins of their horses, pulling their heads up, and finally stopped their hooves in front of the disorganized front of the front army.

If you hesitate, you can't, "It's now!" ”

The sabers of the officers of the Tang Army fell, the bowstrings of "Hu Hu ......" made a loud sound, and bows and arrows fired a volley!

The archers in front shoot flat, and the back throws.

The arrows flew from the air to the tribal army column, and only the clanging sound of metal crashing could be heard, some were dull, it was the successful armor piercing, which immediately brought the screams of the tribesmen, and some were crisp, like the sound of hail falling on the tiles, that was not the armor broken. （

But at a distance between thirty and sixty steps, the armor was basically successfully pierced!

And the projectile of seventy or eighty paces failed to penetrate the armor.

The arrows of the Tang people VS the armor of the Tang people!

There is a contradiction in the idiom, take your own spear to pierce your own shield, which is stronger and which is weaker?

Now it's self-archery, using your own arrows to stab your own armor, which is stronger or weaker?

Basically, within the Tang Army, there was a dispute between the officers and the military-industrial system, whether to make sharper arrows or stronger armor?

When the lawsuit came to Wei Xi, his decision was to attack better than defend!

Therefore, the Tang army is equipped with armor-piercing arrows, and the arrows are particularly sharp, which can shoot through their own armor! (The tribesmen got the Tang Army vest by picking up the train)

Sharp arrows pierced into the armor, piercing through the armor and killing the tribesmen.

The screams were loud, and after the cavalry in front of them who were put down by the thistles, a large number of cavalry shot down the Tang army.

The military horn sounded, the military flag moved, the officer's saber pointed forward, and the Tang army moved forward!
