"Yang Tou'er, look over there!"
When everyone cheered loudly, a dragogue beside Yang Husheng shouted in a low voice, as soon as this sentence was shouted, these people in the company immediately became energetic, only to see that not far from the hills, there were more than a dozen horsemen appearing on the mountain bag / It was morning, the sun was shining, Yang Husheng and their group were walking east to meet the sun. Because of the light, looking at the dozen or so horsemen on the opposite side, he couldn't see clearly at all, and he could only see more than a dozen black cavalry figures, but the other party looked at Yang Husheng clearly, and obviously noticed this side, and even heard the sound of shouting and beating horses, and chased towards this side.
Yang Husheng just sat down, and when he heard this, he immediately stood up on the horse again, wanting to see as far as possible, and there was a sense of uneasiness in the slightly hot air in early autumn, and the war horse was well-trained, but he was not frightened. He put his hands on the pergola and looked over, but he still couldn't see clearly.
"Boss, is it the white-robed army?"
Several of the dragoons under his command asked with some excitement and nervousness, although they were new recruits and had hardly seen blood on their hands, but they were extremely elite soldiers, with high morale and strong desire to fight, without the cowardice and fear of ordinary recruits. These words, said hard training, just for the moment in front of them, thinking of this, their hearts surged with blood, and the one who can't come is the white-robed army, kill it well!
Yang Husheng looked vaguely, but after thinking about it, who else could ride a horse at this time besides the military? Now that the entire army in the southern part of Beizhili is concentrated in Hejian Province, how can it appear here? Come to think of it, it can only be a white-robed army. Although it was strange why the white-robed army, which was hundreds of miles away, appeared here, Yang Husheng still made a correct and cautious decision.
"I can't see clearly, but eighty percent of them are those traitors, the brothers all dismounted and prepared, took out their crossbows, and the five thunder god machines were also loaded with lead bullets and gunpowder, ready to meet the battle at any time."
Yang Hu gave birth to a horse and ordered.
At this time, the self-confidence and fighting spirit of an army can be reflected in these few words, if it is an ordinary scout, when you see an unknown person approaching, you must first close the distance, and then make a decision after observing the identity of the other party. If it is a friendly army, it will naturally come forward to contact, and if it is an enemy, then it will be directly slippery.
But the dragoons, from the beginning, thought about fighting!
War!
The dragoons are extremely well-equipped, it can be said that Lian Zining has done his best to build a force, Lian Zining wants to create a group of elite scouts, after all, scouts are the eyes of an army, and intelligence is the life of the army; The second is to lay the foundation for building elite special forces in the future.
Each dragoon has a set of three-layer foam nail cotton armor, an ash pole spear, a long-handled iron saber, a five-thunder machine, and a crossbow.
The rest is fine, the most important thing is the hand crossbow.
To be precise, it should be called a small divine arm crossbow.
The Divine Arm Crossbow has been famous since the Song Dynasty, and it is a level weapon that the Song Dynasty was able to fight with the northern nomads. The reason why the crossbow is ** is because this thing is the size of a bed, and it is also the kind of super big bed that can accommodate more than a dozen people rolling on it. The crossbow arrows of the bed crossbow are specially made, five feet long, the thickness of the arm, and the front is a foot long and short with sharp iron arrow clusters, which are extremely penetrating. The large bed crossbow was very spectacular when fired in a volley, and the special crossbow arrows fired could even be firmly nailed to the city wall, which the soldiers could use to climb the city wall; Of course, this thing is used to defend the city, and it is definitely a nightmare for the besieging side. But although the bed crossbow is powerful, there are some defects, and it is quite troublesome to use, two bow bed crossbows need forty people to make, if the large bed crossbow has to be forty or fifty people to use, because of its great strength, this large divine arm crossbow is also named the eight bull crossbow.
And the small divine arm crossbow is now in the hands of Yang Husheng and a few people, the crossbow is three feet two inches long, the total length of the bow is four feet five inches and eight minutes, and the string length is two feet five inches long, which is heavy in the hand.
The firing process of the Divine Arm Crossbow is quite complex, no less than that of a musket, and requires professional training to become proficient.
Moreover, it is said that it is a small divine arm crossbow, which is compared to the large one, and its size is not inferior to the strong bow in the army, and it requires more power to fire the winding than the bow and arrow.
When winding, you must sit down, pedal with both feet, and use the full strength of your waist to open the winding, otherwise it is difficult to complete this winding with arm strength and leg strength alone. Because of this, this crossbow is powerful, even if it is three hundred steps away, as long as it can accurately hit the opponent's vital point, it is no problem to shoot the opponent, even if he is wearing heavy armor, he can be shot through, it is powerful!
However, there are pros and cons, because the god arm crossbow needs to ensure its strength and range, the materials used are hard materials, so the crossbow body is very heavy, the crossbow itself alone must have twenty catties, it is very inconvenient to carry, and most of the front end of the arrow of this crossbow is iron, each arrow is very heavy, so as to maintain its strength at a long distance.
The manufacturing method of the divine arm crossbow has been lost in the early Ming Dynasty, and the long-range firepower of the Ming Dynasty has bows and arrows, muskets and artillery, and there is no need for this. However, after the emperor's edict abolished firearms 20 years ago, in the wars between the Ming army and those nomads outside the Nine Border Fortress, the long-range firepower was frequently at a disadvantage, and the military department had to organize a large number of people to start making crossbows of various sizes and sizes.
The manufacturing method of the Divine Arm Crossbow was also found from the Yongle Canon, and the skilled craftsmen of the military department studied it for several years, and finally succeeded in researching.
It's just that this kind of small divine arm crossbow has extremely high requirements for craftsmanship to make, and the selection of materials and craftsmanship are also extremely exquisite. The arrows also need to be carefully crafted by special personnel, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and even the most skilled old craftsmen can only make five pairs of divine crossbows at most if they do nothing in a month. Therefore, the price of this divine arm crossbow is extremely expensive, and the official purchase price of each pair is as high as fifty taels of silver, and on the black market, a small amount of it can be sold for a high price of hundreds of taels! Among the millions of troops in the Ming Dynasty, only Jingwei and the elite of the Nine Sides had a small amount of equipment, and Lian Zining spent an unknown amount of effort for these hundred divine arm crossbows.
After Yang Husheng gave the order, the remaining ten dragoons also dismounted one after another, and methodically took out the divine arm crossbow from the pocket on the side of the saddle, and loaded the hard arrows. Then he took out the buckshot and the waist bag from the pocket on his waist, put the buckshot on it, pulled the fire rope, and as soon as he pulled the trigger, he could fire it immediately.
