Chapter 32: Fantasy
It's easy to pull eggs when the steps are too big, and Jian Chen still knows this truth very well. As long as you make sure that your own race and future civilization will not be ruled by the rest of the cultural circle, you have time.
If it is true that hundreds of years later, his descendants really come out with waste wood that would rather shave their hair and change customs than borrow the help of barbarians, so as not to have to uncover the rod themselves and slap him with a few big mouths and hang them on the city wall. He didn't want that to happen, but the reality was cruel, and he was well aware of the lower limits of the ruling class.
So he had to start from scratch and think about fighting a war and accumulate experience with blood. When there is really the risk of Shenzhou land sinking, the criticism of the weapon can always outweigh the weapon of criticism.
Theoretically, if everyone was a five-figure gladiator, they would not need any formation to run rampant in this era, but obviously this is not possible, just like the more than fifty people standing next to them now.
They are not talented, they are not good at archery, they are weak in impact, and they can only rely on cooperation to win.
At this time, more than 50 people looked at Jian Chen, not knowing what they were going to do, should they also learn from those people to rush forward?
"Ken, what about us? What do we use? ”
"Don't worry, you find the five people you are most familiar with, a pile of five, and choose the five people you trust the most. Go ahead! ”
He knew that this was the case, and he might not be able to finish it by night, so let them go and mess around for a while.
Fortunately, the clansmen all know Chen Jian's style of acting, and the last time he built a house, he didn't build it from above, but did something seemingly unrelated first.
A group of people shouted each other's names in a chaotic manner, and distributed the team to each other according to their usual seniority, contact time, etc. Jian Chen didn't ask them to stand in line, but just asked them to be grouped, which was enough trouble for them.
The shouting and laughter were chaotic, and Jian Chen ignored them and walked to the side of the thirty people.
Song walked over and said, "Jian, can we just rush like that?" ”
"Of course not."
Jian Chen took a rope and straightened it on the ground, allowing Song to stand on the far left.
"Don't move."
After standing up, Jian Chen grabbed a few more clansmen who had previously been loose and lined up next to Song.
It's like a kindergarten teacher grabbing children, lining them up one by one. Ten people in a row, a total of three rows, one and a half steps apart.
After the arrangement, the clansmen were still moving around, and Jian Chen shouted, "Stop talking!" Don't move! Otherwise, you'll have to carry the stone in a while! ”
Finally calmed down a little, Chen Jian walked to Song's side and said, "In the future, you will be responsible, some people will talk nonsense, some people will move around, and you will directly grab it and carry the stone." ”
"What's the use of that?"
"You'll find out later. Every night, as long as it doesn't rain, you have to stand for a while, and when I shout, you can immediately line up in the same three rows as now, and you don't have to practice. I want you to remember how to stand before you finish building your house. ”
Song looked back, thought it was very simple, and said, "It won't take that long, one day is enough." ”
Jian Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "Then you can try it." ”
He didn't want this group of people to stand in a military posture, just simply line up, which will be of great use when charging in the future.
Song thought about the problem too simply, after the crowd dispersed, even though the rope was still there, the group still tossed for nearly ten minutes before they got back on their feet, and it was uneven.
Many people forgot where they were standing before, and the vanguard did not know how to stand in advance and move around.
Song was completely convinced this time, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Jian, are we just standing like this?" When to practice, how to rush like you? ”
"Wait until you can stand up after you shout, so let's practice first. Don't overthink things and don't rush things too much. ”
He patted Song's shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and said before leaving: "Song, with my method, there will be fewer deaths when the fight really starts." Therefore, carrying stones is not to punish them, but to save their lives, which is the same as if you wanted to taste herbs and seek medicine. ”
Song nodded, returned to the group, and let everyone disperse and stand up again, but unfortunately it was still the same as before, in a mess.
Jian Chen watched for a long time, and the more than fifty people who were in a mess over there were also divided into ten teams, a team of five people, and he also selected someone he trusted as the leader of the five-person team.
Jian Chen wrote down the names of these ten people, and these people were already a little impatient, in their opinion, fighting was to rush forward with stone axes and stone spears, why should they be so troublesome?
I thought that after dividing the team, I would be able to get the stone spear and stone axe, but unfortunately I still didn't have it, but I learned another word called Wu Chief, which is used to call the leader of their team.
Find a random five-person team, three people in front, and two people behind one step.
There are fewer people this time, and it's much simpler to have a row of three people than a row of ten.
"What you're going to do today is to line up like this in a group of five. If you can arrange it at any time, go back to sleep, and if you can't arrange it, you will continue to practice here, and tomorrow you will build a house, if you want to wake up, go and build a clay plate, then take your time. ”
With that said, I took the trouble to check each squad. The smaller the number of people, the simpler it is, so these people practiced for a while, and basically guaranteed that the five of them would discharge that formation and go back to sleep one after another.
Wolf Skin and the others had already finished shooting arrows, and they looked at the thirty people who were still practicing in line as if they were lively, pointing and pointing, and were driven back by Chen Jian.
Song is already a little impatient, Chen Jian is not too early to see the sky, let them disperse first, there will be life tomorrow.
The tribesmen rushed back to the village in a hurry. Chen Jian took the charcoal and the bark of the tree, and pondered the future by the moonlight outside.
The monsters of war would soon be released from their cages with the development of primitive agriculture, and before the spread of metal farming implements and oxen carts, the most efficient production relationship was slavery, and the source of slaves depended on the plunder of armies.
The organizational form of the village community lasted for a long time, and the clan needed to fight a war, so the clan had the right to speak politically for a long time. He had to ensure constant victories and plunder more of the population for his future slave-owning clansmen in order to maintain his position as military chief.
Under slash-and-burn conditions, a large amount of labor is required to ensure the production of land, just as in medieval Europe, planting and reaping three was the norm. Unstoppable natural disasters, water facilities in the villages, land reclamation, ore excavation, etc., all required a large slave population.
Chen Jian thinks that he is not the kind of smart person who can be invincible as soon as his skills come out, so if he wants to continue to win, he can only rely on the crushing of the military system.
Of the more than fifty people, he prepared a group of five, armed with long and short spears. At this time, the enemy definitely did not have cavalry, so there was no need for a dense phalanx, and the five-person squad was used to suppress the formation, and the whole team slowly moved forward by beating the drum and ten paces, approaching the enemy.
Fifteen archers were the main output of combat power, and spearmen squads were used as mobile walls, covering them to shoot more arrows, as close as possible to the enemy to a distance of thirty or forty meters.
The archers were in the middle, flanked by an array of spearmen squads. Once the enemy rushes over, the archers retreat behind the spearmen for cover after firing two rounds of arrows. If the enemy does not charge, they approach slowly, and the archers attack the enemy to inflict casualties.
Once approaching about forty meters from the opponent, the thirty-man shock infantry will line up in three rows and rush towards the enemy, and when the time comes, they will put on cowhide armor and rattan armor, and use the impact force they have exercised to tear apart the opponent's formation.
The formation was torn apart, and the spearmen behind followed, fighting in teams of five and cooperating with each other to completely break through the opponent's line and divide the opponent.
As long as the front is shaken, then the subsequent battles will be unilateral slaughter, and the disorganized army will be just a plate of scattered sand.
The principle is a bit like the phalanx of the arquebus era, but because there is no need to consider the cavalry impact, the formation is more scattered, and because the opponent cannot wear heavy armor, the bow and arrow can replace the musket as the main output, and there is no need to worry about not being able to break the armor.
Once the horses were domesticated, they could be charged with chariots, and the shock infantry could be placed on either side of the line to cover the flanks or charge when the opposing line wavered.
No formation is immutable, and when the enemy also domesticates the horses, their own formation will naturally become tight to prevent cavalry attacks. After the appearance of heavy armor, this formation with bows and arrows as the main lethality will also dissipate, and will eventually be revived after the appearance of muskets that can penetrate plate armor.
And now the tribe to deal with is only a hundred and ten people, even if they can use bows and arrows, the archers who haven't even made the recurve horn tamer bow can play with the scattering of arrows from a hundred meters away, which is no different from tickling. If the other party escapes and does not clash with him head-on, the monk who runs away will not be able to run away from the temple, destroy their home and capture the women and children, and leave the few people to play in the wilderness to survive.
Besides, with the development of bronze ware, the pressure to make bronze cannons with the technology that can make Simu is not generous, as long as there is ideas and gunpowder.
After a hundred and ten years, when his own people can cast a tripod, they can make nine bronze cannons, which can be read as nine tripods.
Bronze casting cannons have a great advantage, until the Civil War era, there were still a large number of bronze cannons, and because of the metal properties of bronze, it will not suddenly explode, and it can be re-cast if it is broken.
The musket is more difficult, and he probably won't see it appear in his life, but it's still exciting to imagine the war in the Bronze Age in his imagination.
The cavalry charged close to the opponent and forced the opponent to form a close formation. The bronze artillery seized the opportunity to bombard the dense phalanx, and after the light cavalry drove away the opposing cavalry, the black powder grenadiers charged and threw to tear the line, the spear infantry followed up to widen the gap, and the chariots chased the rout for slaughter......
When the time comes, because of the problem of control and communication ability, the countries will be divided to occupy those places that are still wild, and they will first tie up their heels and make a mistake since ancient times.
The ritual is read as a tripod, which is actually a cannon, and the number of cannons that the prince can have is a ceremony; The loud roar of gunpowder is music.
Hundreds of years later, the productive forces have developed, and the old relations of production are no longer suitable for the development of the productive forces......
"Four or five hundred years is enough."
He fantasized about all kinds of scenes, and a silly smile appeared on his face, until Yu Qian'er came out and put a fur on him.
"Still not sleeping? Tomorrow I have to move the mud and build a house. ”
Jian Chen snorted, the huge contrast between reality and fantasy made him speechless, and he got up and went back to the house speechlessly.
