Chapter 515: Kaiyuan Military Parade (24)
All the generals sat down, only to see Liao Yun walk to the front of the shuai platform and give an order to the drummer on the side, and the twelve drummers picked up the sledgehammer in their hands and beat the leather drum. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Knock knock...
The thrashing sound is very rhythmic, first three heavy blows, then even sound...
In the eyes of everyone's expectation, one after another chariots came out of the military camp in the distance, the number of chariots was very huge, and at a glance, at a cursory glance, it was no less than 20,000!
This is almost all the chariots of Kaiyuan, which has been accumulated over the past two years.
The chariot is very large, one lap larger than the average chariot, but the overall appearance is still the same as other chariots, mainly to show the number of chariots to all the princes!
Looking at the current princes, which one can get this number, it is 20,000!
The little emperor of the imperial court, Pang Yi, King Xiaojin, and King Yu, these are all just after the war, and their vitality has not recovered, and the number of chariots does not exceed 5,000 at most.
And Yang Xiong, maybe only Yang Xiong is slightly more, but there are not 20,000, because Yang Xiong's army is mainly cavalry, and the Western Frontier war cavalry can be said to have reached a terrifying number, and the last time he occupied the imperial capital, he took out 100,000 cavalry!
But it was only cavalry, and there were absolutely no 20,000 chariots.
Therefore, as soon as Ling Feng's 20,000 chariots came out, it caused a pressure on all the princes, especially this chariot was even bigger, which was even more daunting.
"This is Ling Feng's killer weapon... Tsk, 20,000 chariots, that's a lot of money. ”
"Yes, I really didn't expect that Ling Feng's strength has become so strong in the past two years."
"Tut-tut..."
......
In the crowd, two middle-aged people dressed in gorgeous clothes talked in amazement.
On the side, someone pouted and said, "Cut, what insight do you have, which scares you?" Hehe... Look, you'll be surprised. ”
The two looked at the man next to them, but did not speak, and then withdrew their gaze and looked into the field.
As the minutes ticked by, the chariot circled around the parade square, and then slowly entered the barracks.
At the moment when the chariot was finished, the war drums sounded again, this time the drums were very small, and it seemed that there was nothing special...
I saw that in the open space to the east, there was a group of Yulin troops, who were driving away those people, driving the people to the south, and leaving all the open space in the east.
Then, more than a dozen teams of Yulin troops stepped forward and set the arrow targets that had been prepared long ago on the field, and the fields for several miles were all held up with arrow targets, which looked very spectacular.
After the Yulin Army was busy, the entire open space in the east became a benchmark for archery, and wooden arrow targets were set up, making it impossible to see the end at a glance.
Seeing this, everyone was speculating, was Ling Feng going to perform soldier archery to everyone? Or is it a group shot?
Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw four groups of soldiers in white armor running out of the barracks, each soldier carrying a bow and arrow in his hand, to be precise, the bow and arrow are combined, different from ordinary bows and arrows.
Ordinary bows and arrows are separated, bows are bows, arrows are arrows, and they need manpower to pull when they are used, and the four teams of soldiers who came out are a little strange in their hands, and they are united together, without hand support, and they will not fall, and the style is also strange, and there is a switch in the place where the hand holds...
"Is the soldier holding a bow and arrows?"
Someone asked.
Someone said: "Hey, why did you forget, the last time Ling Feng sent troops to assist Pang Yi in attacking King Yu and King Xiaojin, in that battle, the soldiers under Li Yan's command used this kind of bow and arrow, I heard that it was very powerful, but I didn't get to see it in person." ”
"Then we're in for a good day."
......
As the two were talking, they saw that the four groups of soldiers had already come to the square, stopped at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters from the east target, picked up their bows and arrows, and aimed them at the arrow target in front of them, but they did not release the arrows, as if waiting for orders.
Above the platform, Ling Feng smiled and said: "This crossbow is very powerful, but unfortunately, it is not easy to manufacture, up to now, there are only more than three thousand, in the future, we must let the Science and Technology Institute manufacture them in large quantities, and strive to let all the archers in the army replace them." ”
Suddenly, the sound of the war drums changed abruptly, and after the three-way drum, the four teams of archers picked up their repeaters, pulled the trigger, and shot all the bows and arrows in their hands.
It was a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, but for the repeater, it was easy to reach, and it was particularly powerful, and after a round of shots, the arrows flew like rain, and most of them landed on the target.
It is necessary to mention here that this kind of repeater is not an ordinary repeater, but is loaded with three arrow feathers on the bow, that is, a soldier can shoot three arrows a hundred and fifty meters away with only a slight pull of the trigger!
Due to the strength of the force, I saw that many arrow targets on the field were knocked down, maybe the Yulin Army did it on purpose, and the arrow targets did not penetrate into the soil deeply.
After one round, another round came, and then the third round...
After shooting three rounds in one go, after three rounds, there was no longer a standing arrow target in the open space in front of him.
Hiss...
Everyone gasped, surprised by the strength of the three-bow repeater, not only because he could be equipped with three arrows, nor because he was easy to use, but because the shooting distance of the three-bow repeater, one hundred and fifty meters apart, could easily knock down the arrow target, which was enough to make people shocked.
I often hear people in the army say that the highest level of archery is to wear Yang in 100 steps, but now compared with these three bows and crossbows, it is nothing, you are 100 steps through Yang, and people are 150 steps!
And the power is greater than yours, and you can shoot down the target with one arrow.
In fact, now in Ling Feng's army, all the generals know that there is this thing, but they are not very clear about the specific power of this thing, so Li Yan tried to use it, because he took the task to go to southern Xinjiang last year, so Ling Feng specially approved it, and asked him to go with thousands of crossbows to show Pang Yi, so that Pang Yi could open his eyes.
Liao Yun and Zhang Wu had already met, and both of them had asked Ling Feng more than once to equip their army with this kind of bow and arrow, and Ling Feng had agreed again and again, but until now, the bow and arrow had not been sent.
At this time, seeing the power of this thing again, Zhang Wu's heart was itching, and he said again: "Lord, I beg you, just give us five thousand wolf cavalry, if we have this thing, the combat effectiveness of our wolf cavalry will definitely be greatly improved." (To be continued.) )
