Chapter 751: The Flames of War Resumed

The bow and arrow now belongs to the standard equipment in Li Yang's army, and the spear, sword and shield together constitute the configuration of the standard infantry battalion, but the system of the bow and arrow has not been unified, mainly according to the soldiers' own habits, some people are born in Orion, naturally like to use small hunting bows, and some people have not undergone special archery training, and after being assigned to the bow and arrow troops, they can only get used to using crossbows, which are easy to aim weapons.

This kind of disunity has also caused a lot of trouble, but it has always been on the edge of armament, and Li Yang has not yet made the effort to rectify it, and this time he took advantage of the opportunity to upgrade the artillery to also take it into consideration.

Although the crossbow is powerful, the launch speed is too slow, and the manufacturing and maintenance are too complicated, and Li Yang does not plan to consider it. England's longbow is famous all over the world, and now it should be in Europe, although Li Yang wants to imitate it, but it is limited to racial differences, and the bow and arrow that is nearly two meters long does not know how many short people in the army can use it.

In the end, he told Huang Yu his idea, and this hard-working craftsman spent the night tinkering, and the next day handed Li Yang a five-foot bow.

Because of the rush of time, Huang Yu, who was busy in the middle of the night, finally made the bow. Li Yangqing had a bow in his hand, tried it, and felt that the length of the arrow was also appropriate, and the range was also at a more satisfactory distance, although he did not shoot 300 meters away, he also shot more than 60 zhang.

Compared with the chaotic bow and arrow system, which can only carry out some auxiliary support shooting, the unified bow and arrow have the same range and the same rate of fire, which can completely form a terrifying striking surface, although this thing must be gradually eliminated by the historical stage in the future, but it can still be used slightly at this stage.

A large quantity of fine wood was selected, yew wood could not be found, and some ash and elm were traded from merchant ships that had sailed from all over the world.

Huang Yu accompanied some veteran craftsmen to act as supervisors, and the bow-making people were not mediocre hands, they were all masters who had made hundreds of bows in various tribes, and they quickly understood the requirements and characteristics of this kind of bow under the explanation of several people, and each person could sharpen a good bow body in half a day.

The final process is also to slowly bend the bow, this is what Li Yang requires, although the traditional process is to roast with fire, but this will definitely damage the strength of the bow, anyway, there are many craftsmen, it is better to slowly bend it into the required arc.

After the made bows were distributed to the troops, the army has been conducting all kinds of training, and after the queue training was completed, the archer troops were already idle, and now they found something to do, and it was a long time of drill.

Seeing that the Miyakojima army was becoming stronger step by step, Zhongshan Guoguo still couldn't sit still, I thought that the aggressive Li Yang would definitely raise troops to attack, who knew that Li Yang was not in a hurry to start infrastructure construction and development, if he was allowed to develop like this, Zhongshan would definitely be unstable, and the original more than 300 soldiers who ran back to Zhongshan from Li Yang's tattoo camp have already regretted it, and they must fight quickly to avoid things becoming more and more complicated.

On this day, the king of Zhongshan and his baby daughter gathered more than 2,000 "soldiers" in the country and attacked Li Yang.

Although a team of 2,000 people was gathered, after the profound lesson of the last time, the king of Zhongshan Kingdom no longer dared to face Li Yang on a frontal battlefield, but if a team of 2,000 people only engaged in jungle warfare, it would be a burden if there were too many people.

As a result, more than a dozen armies of the Nakayama Kingdom entered the territory of the Namsan Kingdom of the Ryukyus from the entire border bordering the territory of the Ryukyu Nanshan Kingdom, and for a time there were flames.

Most of Jubao Town has been incorporated into Nanshan City, and Nanshan City has become the hardest bone in the route of the Zhongshan army.

When the urgent message reached Li Yang, Li Yang, who had been waiting for this day for a long time, sneered: "Wait for this day." ”

Li Yang, who had already been prepared, took the Second Army Corps, the First Army and the First Legion and the First Battalion that crossed the sea to participate in the battle, as well as half of the Slave Legion, although the number was only more than 2,000, but they were all elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and marched to the west.

The defense in Nanshan City is mainly maintained by the armed forces of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and some of the soldiers of the tattoo battalion are absolutely precarious in terms of numbers alone, but Zhongshan Kingdom has always been mortal enemies with the Ryukyu Nanshan Kingdom, and the militia groups in Nanshan City do not need to be mobilized, and everyone is on the city to prepare for defense.

However, after a few days of calm and calm, everyone found that Nakayama Province did not attack Nanshan Castle, but burned and plundered the villages of the Nanshan Province of the Ryukyus on the periphery.

Originally, they lacked the means to attack the fortifications, and if they consumed too much in the siege battle at this time, it would inevitably affect the subsequent battles, and at this time, it was a real victory to defeat Li Yang's main force, otherwise it was all empty talk.

However, Li Yang also surprisingly did not march in the direction of Nanshan City, and when he left the valley that must be passed, Li Yang's team turned directly to the southwest.

As a nomadic people, Zhongshan has only one capital in the country, and all other important places are composed of stockades. The capture of Zhongshan City also completed the conquest of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Li Yang's goal is quite clear, he does not seek to destroy many of your troops, but only to formally complete the reunification of the whole island, because he now knows very well that under the invasion of advanced culture and technology, all people will be slowly attracted to assimilation, and there will be no situation of separatism and confrontation with the central government.

In this way, Zhongshan Guo originally wanted to disperse all directions, and finally formed one attack after another on the road of Li Yang's rush to Nanshan City, and finally took advantage of Li Yang's exhaustion to try his best to make the final blow to Li Yang in the jungle area.

Originally, this plan was the best plan that Kume, the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, and the princess Chiba came up with to fight against Li Yang's phalanx, but now Li Yang made it clear that he was not ready to rush to the aid of Nanshan City, so he picked the road to take and marched all the way to his own capital.

One urgent order after another was issued, and all the troops that had been scattered retreated back, gradually converging into a huge torrent and chasing after Li Yang's team.

Li Yang's team of 2,400 people has more than 800 people to provide logistical support and share chores. However, Zhongshan Kingdom did not have this concept at all, originally as hunters, they were all soldiers who brought their own rations, and if they were not enough, they hunted in the wild and gathered wild fruits to supplement.

This is a good form for small troops, but when the troops are gathered in a few thousand men, the problem of supply gradually becomes apparent, and the passage is like locusts crossing the border, but it still cannot meet the needs of the large army.

Most of the army of Zhongshan was recruited on the spot, lacking the necessary discipline to support them, and although they had honed certain military skills through long-term hunting, they were far behind in terms of organization, coordination, and obedience.

In just four days of pursuit, on the third and fourth days, hundreds of people broke away from the group, and it was easy to catch one, and the escapees were all from a tribe, and the leader had nothing to eat nearby, so he had to run away to hunt and eat.
