Chapter 162: Di Fu Cavalry Shooting

Wang Sunqi also instructed them on the method of salvo shooting: "When shooting a salvo, it is better to go higher than high, and not to be too low and not to be too low, and only when you hear the sound of the golden drum horn can you fire, otherwise it will be regarded as disorderly behavior and should be punished!" ”

The scholars agreed in unison, and they all knew that Wang Sunqi was the "right judge" in charge of the military and justice, who was fair and merciless.

Bow and arrow training has a programmed training method, the first is to draw the bow to practice strength, followed by target aiming, target shooting training, and constantly improve the strength and shooting level of the soldiers. When used in warfare, it is more likely to rely on listening to the sound of golden drums to fire volleys to cause casualties.

If Zhao Wuxian had spare time, he would also come here every day to make rounds, and he naturally understood that the training of archers was several times more difficult than that of apprentices, and it would not be effective unless it took a few years.

The first is to make bows and arrows, and a good recurve bow cannot be tamed for two or three years. And the arm strength and height requirements for the material are also very demanding, and it takes two or three years of strict training to be able to cast dozens of arrows on the battlefield without cramps and weakness in the arms. As for the monolithic straight-draw bow, although it was easier to make, it was more demanding, and the Welsh in the Middle Ages began training from an early age to form a legion.

So Wuxian sighed: "If it's possible, it's better for the crossbowmen to get a quick effect......

This kind of sharp weapon to change the form of classical warfare had already appeared in China at this time.

As far as Zhao Wuxian knows, in the southern Chu State, there is already an archer named "Qin Clan" who has made a crossbow with "horizontal bows and arms, and sets up a pivot"!

The Chu people were able to drive away the Wu people who invaded the national capital, in addition to the assistance of the Qin army and the people who rose up to attack, they also had the credit of this weapon.

Although it has not been invented for a few years, this kind of sharp weapon has actually spread to the Jin Kingdom, and Zhao Wuxian knows that Han Hu has one in his family. It is regarded as a treasure by the ancestors of the Han family. They seem to have the intention of letting craftsmen imitate and form crossbowmen, which may be the source of Korean crossbows in the Warring States Period in later generations?

Shirtless feels. Be sure to find a way to get your hands on the imitation! Or, he could recall the crossbows he had seen in his previous life. The general appearance of the crossbow is drawn, but those delicate parts can only be explored by craftsmen and mathematics students of Jiqiao.

Later generations debated whether the archer or the crossbowman was stronger or weaker, but in Wuxian's view, a wise general should be used flexibly, and it would be good to have one more choice.

Directly responsible to Zhao Wuxian, there were also one or two "short soldiers", and Zhao Wuxian consciously armed these people into heavy soldiers. Each person wears two pieces of leather armor, which are two layers of armor.

The two Sima Musha were even able to wear four armor and wear leather curtains. He can flexibly swing it with one hand, and he can also hold a poplar shield to protect himself with the other hand, just like an armored giant walking around.

These twenty-five men, armed with two-foot swords and poplar shields, followed the action of Wuxian, as personal guards, and were at the rear of the battle array. At the same time, it is also a prison army, killing those who dare to retreat and escape. It can also act as a firefighter at critical moments.

There are also one or two auxiliaries, which are served by those who are weaker in physique, and are specially responsible for the management of the treasury and blades. Plus take care of the grain and grass carts.

Jing is delicate and knows some seal characters, and after the completion of his sentence, he became a "fool" and always wanted to cover up his shame. Therefore, he was extremely diligent, and even ignored the disdainful eyes of others, and chased the mathematics students of the Jiqiao School everywhere to ask about the method of calculation, and he had already mastered the number of Zhouji.

In addition, it is a newly formed squad of less than ten people.

There are those in the army who are brave and are not afraid of death or injury. Organize them into a team and call them "Warriors of the Blade"; There are those who are vigorous, young and brave, and fierce and fierce. Organize them into a team, called "Men of the Trap".

These are all people under Zhao Wuxian's who are fierce and fierce. One of the representatives is Tian Ben. They were called "light soldiers", they were armless, and they were used in battle formations to take the plunge. Like a sharp knife, it stabbed at the enemy fiercely, and the knife collapsed into two pieces, and Zhao Wuxian would not feel distressed.

This can be regarded as making good use of those thorns in the army.

And what Zhao Wuxian attaches the most importance to is naturally his newly formed army, the light knight.

When the weather was fine, he would ride a black horse and lead these young knights to hunt in the flat wilderness.

The new pulley bow had been made by the bow man and delivered to him, and the quality and accuracy were much better than the test piece given to Jin Houwu.

He put his bow on his shoulder, waved his horsewhip and said to Yu Xi: "Rider, the scout of the army, so the defeated army, the food road, and the attack on the Kou, this is my positioning for this class."

Yu Xi listened to it and promised it.

The training of cavalrymen is more difficult than that of archers, and the criteria for selecting knights are that they are under the age of forty and must be more than seven feet five inches tall. It is required to be agile and fast, able to gallop over ravines on horseback, climb hills, draw a bow and shoot arrows on horses, and be able to fight freely in all directions, front and back, left and right, and be skillful in advancing and retreating.

After the selection, you will also have to wear the appropriate equipment.

The Di people around the Jin Kingdom wore short-sleeved shirts, which were very different from the wide sleeves of the Central Plains Chinese, so they were commonly known as "Di clothes". At the beginning of the formation of the shirtless, the clothes of the knights were already popularized, and the clothing of the knights was improved to short sleeves and narrow sleeves, thin leather armor, and pants were worn underneath, belts were tied, and leather boots were used.

He was luckier than the "descendant" of later generations, King Zhao Wuling, and almost did not encounter opposition.

First, because of the small and united territory of Wuxi, with the large amount of corn in the warehouse, and the implementation of the policy of encouraging childbearing and supporting orphans and widows, his popularity in Chengxiang has reached an incomparable level, and recently he has been sage of Chengwu.

So this order was unimpeded, that is, Zigong, who was guarding the courtesy, frowned when he passed by, but he was an outsider and didn't understand military affairs, so of course he was not qualified to say anything.

On the other hand, half of the light knights are the children of Jiali, and the ancestors of this clan are from the Chidi tribe, and they have only been in China for many years, and they also wear Di clothes on weekdays. The other half are the people and shepherds brought from the lower palace stables, who wore short beats before they were selected to become townspeople, and they didn't know what it was like to have deep clothes and wide sleeves, so it was easy for Di Fu to be implemented.

In addition, in line with the yearning for the neat and uniform momentum of the Qin figurines, the hairstyles of the knights were also forcibly unified without shirts. Tie all the hair into a flat bun that does not easily spread out and obstruct the view, comb all the hair from front to back, divide it into six strands, and weave it into a plate-shaped braid, which is folded up and attached to the back of the head.

Horsemen and horsemen wore small leather hats that were tied under their chins to distinguish them.

After the implementation of these measures, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but secretly say: "In this way, the Hufu cavalry of the King of Martial Arts will probably be ......realized by me two hundred years in advance" (to be continued)
