When Jieli was talking to his subordinates about this three-fold array of bows and crossbows, Li Junxian was also relieved. Because he used the queue shooting tactics of muskets on his crossbow.

If it is an ordinary bow and crossbow, it is actually impossible to use the queue shooting tactic. However, Li Junxian transformed the bow and crossbow, so the frequency of shooting the bow and crossbow was greatly increased, and the tactic of shooting in three rows was used, so that the dense rain of arrows could be realized. As for where Li Junxian transformed the bow and crossbow, there was nothing special about it, that is, it just added a pulley set.

In the history of China, in fact, the East far surpassed the West in terms of weapons and armaments, and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that it was gradually surpassed by the West. However, there is one thing that the West is ahead of China. Huaxia did not invent it, or rather, it was invented and was not used on bows and crossbows. That's the pulley set.

The pulley block is generally used in engineering construction, which can play a role in labor-saving. However, it seems that ancient China did not invent pulley sets, or that no one used bows and crossbows. The West later invented a pulley bow crossbow, which turned out to be a bow that normally required a strong man to pull out, so that an ordinary person could pull it away, and its power did not decrease. This kind of bow and crossbow is enough to compare with the early muskets, and is not inferior to the early muskets.

It is a pity that there is no such pulley crossbow in the East, which directly evolved into the era of muskets, and China during the Ming Dynasty already had the rudiments of the tactics of lining up to shoot muskets. Li Junxian traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and if he wanted to defeat the Turks and reduce his losses, he naturally wanted to use the tactics of lining up to shoot, so that he could resist the Turks. But there were no muskets in the Tang Dynasty, so what should we do? Li Junxian did not dogmatically think about using muskets, he immediately thought of transforming the bow and crossbow and turning the bow and crossbow into a pulley crossbow. Once a strong crossbow becomes a pulley crossbow, it can save a lot of effort. And once the effort is saved, plus the triple stack shooting, the frequency of the shot is greatly increased. And the frequency of such firing is enough to compare with a flintlock pistol. It's just that the arrows of the bow and crossbow can't be compared with the armor-piercing ability of the gun, as long as the enemy is wearing heavy armor, then this bow and crossbow version of the queue shooting tactic will also be broken.

"Hey, it's a pity, if I had a flintlock pistol, I would never have allowed you to break through to my true meaning!" Li Junxian said secretly.

Li Junxian saw that the enemy was already resting and had brought back his own corpses, and Li Junxian also wanted to rest.

"Su Lie!" Li Junxian shouted.

"The last general!"

This Su Lie is Su Dingfang, and Dingfang is his cousin.

"Su Lie, next, you will command! I'll go up and see the emperor! You will follow my command and command the crossbowmen to fire in three stacks, so that you can repel the Turks. Li Junxian shouted.

"Yes!" Su Dingfang received the order.

Su Dingfang was very excited, he was originally just a team leader, and later met Li Junxian by chance. Moreover, Su Dingfang followed Li Junxian to participate in the Xuanwumen Revolution and won a certain reward. And this time, he was temporarily appointed by Li Junxian to become an army commander with a scale of 10,000 people, this is Li Junxian's trust! Being able to command 10,000 people means that your ability is already the ability of a high-ranking general, can the emperor not reuse it? Although Su Dingfang is sure that he can command 10,000 people, he has never met a person who can delegate his command, and now Li Junxian is willing to let him command the troops instead of him, of course Su Dingfang is excited, this is a stage that can show his ability!

Li Junxian returned to the tower of Chang'an City and met Li Shimin.

"Minister, Li Junxian participates in Your Majesty!"

"Jun Xian, please get up, I have already seen the battle just now! You're amazing! Jun Xian, you actually used infantry to fight against cavalry, this is amazing. You relied on your bow and crossbow to annihilate 10,000 Turks, I'm afraid the Turks hate you to the core! Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that one of the minister's subordinates shot the commander of the opposing party, and as a result, they were forced by the rules of the steppe to charge to the death. Otherwise, if they want to retreat, there is really no good way for the ministers! Li Junxian said helplessly.

Li Shimin witnessed this battle, and he had no doubts about whether Chang'an City could be defended. No matter how much those Turks attacked, they couldn't impact the three-fold array of bows and crossbows that Li Junxian had made up. Even Li Shimin looked at the situation where arrows rained down, and his back was cold. Li Shimin is not the first time in his life to see such a dense rain of arrows. And Li Shimin didn't expect that it would be so good to shoot in three stacks and produce such a dense rain of arrows.

"Jun Xian, how did you come up with the idea of letting the crossbowmen line up in several rows, and then shoot in such rotations? This is a big invention of yours, and it can be said that it has had a very great impact on the military in the future. In the future, when countless Tang generals face the Turks, I am afraid that they will not be afraid of the Turkic cavalry. You can say that it provides a good tactic for my Datang to fight against the grassland people! Li Shimin said.

Li Junxian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to take credit. This three-fold shot was actually seen by the minister in a classic, which was the combat method of the Qin Dynasty. During the Qin Dynasty, the crossbowmen of the Qin State were three rows of pomp and circumstance, and then they took turns to shoot, resulting in a dense and continuous rain of arrows. And I'm just picking up people's teeth, which is not a big achievement! ”

"Oh? Which book is this? Why didn't I see it? Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't remember either! That was just when he was a child. ”

Of course, Li Junxian knew that this was probably the tactics of the Qin Dynasty that had been lost. In later generations, it was only when the terracotta warriors and horses were excavated that the bow and crossbow combat methods of the Qin Dynasty were discovered. Before that, everyone thought that the triad was used for muskets, and both the East and the West did it. But they unearthed the terracotta warriors and horses to know that the Qin Dynasty had already had a three-fold shooting. And in the Tang Dynasty, the three-fold shooting has been lost, perhaps because the enemy is different.

After the Qin Dynasty, the heavy armored cavalry rose, and the three-fold array of this bow and crossbow could not cause much damage to the heavy armored cavalry, so the three-fold shooting was not powerful, and it was normal to lose it. However, Li Junxian was dealing with the Turks, the steppe nomads, and they didn't have much steel, so it was of course easy to use a three-fold shot to deal with the Turks in the steppe who only had leather armor, or simply had no armor. Therefore, Li Junxian used the bow and crossbow version of the queue to shoot, and the Turks were about to vomit blood.
