Chapter 167: The First Battle of Han and Yue [4]

"Huh! The boss of Yue Guo is so smart! We will use local materials! The doctor who followed Yang Zilu couldn't help but be surprised.

"Because his name is Fan Li!" Yang Zilu was in his hands because of the initiative in the war, and he was originally a little dissatisfied with historical celebrities such as Fan Li and Wen Chong. There is an illusion in the mind that modern people are smarter than the ancients. However, as soon as Fan Li sent troops, Yang Zilu also had to admit that Fan Li, these ancients, were really not easy to mess with, and they were able to cope with their endless new weapons. You must know that since it is a new weapon, it is natural to use new methods to deal with it.

To some extent, it is more difficult to come up with 'new' ways to deal with new weapons than it is to develop them. After all, development can be developed slowly, but the way is to come up quickly, otherwise you will encounter defeat in this war, and you will not be allowed to have too much time to think.

…………

The sun was setting in the west, and it was already afternoon sunset, and in about an hour and a half the sun would go down.

At this time, Fan Li made a batch of tower shields. Looking at the sun that was not fierce, Yang Zilu was very regretful, if it was summer, I am afraid that the Vietnamese soldiers who were resting in the open space would have been dizzy. This is undoubtedly the most wonderful gospel to hide in the woods and rest.

But then again, it was precisely because it was a wet spring that the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom did not dare to hide in the woods on both sides to rest, knowing that this time was the time when the miasma was at its most vigorous. They are no more naturally resistant to miasma than the Shanyue people, and they will also treat miasma poisoning and remove miasma.

"Attack!" Fan Li also knew that there was not much time and it was too late to mobilize, so after a simple arrangement, he immediately waved the bronze sword in his hand and roared. The five hundred prepared Yue soldiers also roared immediately, lined up like an iron wall, and slowly advanced under the command of the doctor, although the speed was not fast, but the momentum of Mount Tai was shocking. The 300 Yue soldiers who stayed by Fan Li's side applauded, and when the attacking Yue soldiers heard this, their morale was boosted.

The corners of Fan Li's mouth pulled out a reserved arc, and the good start made Fan Li's mood a lot happier.

"Let the longbowmen put the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom into sixty paces and shoot again! In addition, let the two wings of the sentence and the black bear pay attention, and fight at any time! Yang Zilu looked at the soldiers of Yue Guo, but he was not too nervous, and calmly ordered the heralds beside him.

"Yes!" The herald roared, and immediately roared with a tin megaphone.

Doctor Ouli hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord, isn't it too risky? Sixty steps to shoot, I'm afraid I can't suppress the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom! ”

"How to make a strong army, not to win with a bow and arrow, they need to have the courage to fight hand-to-hand!" Yang Zilu thought long-term, he didn't want his soldiers to rely too much on longbowmen, who were characterized by defensive counterattacks. Moreover, the requirements for users are very high, and it is not very suitable to become the mainstream of the Han Kingdom. The mainstream in Yang Zilu's heart is cavalry, the king of cold weapons.

Yang Zilu glanced sideways at Ou Li, and saw that he still had concerns, and explained: "Don't look at the tower shield's strong defense, but it is very cumbersome, the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom moved the tower shield to the foot of the mountain, not to mention that it has consumed two percent, or even three percent of the strength." And at the foot of the mountain, it was even more impossible for them to enter the woods with a bulky tower shield. And in the mountains and forests, are the Shanyue people still inferior to the soldiers of the Yue country? ”

"The Lord has taught you!" When Ou Li heard this, he also felt that he was too nervous.

Yang Zilu nodded, he still attaches great importance to Ou Li, although his ability is not very good, but this can be adjusted. The most important thing is that Yang Zilu found that Ou Li wanted to hug his thighs, and he was loyal enough to himself at present. Slowly, Yang Zilu's attention shifted to the Yue army that was slowly advancing like an iron wall. Yang Zilu couldn't help but think of the horse-cutting sword of the strong man in Chinese history and the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty. In particular, Modao, with an army of 10,000 people, shocked Central Asia and expanded the territory for thousands of miles.

Yang Zilu wondered if he had also engaged in a batch of Mo knives to equip his own soldiers, anyway, he had already started to make steel. Although it is still in the experimental stage, it is still the best ratio of pig iron wrought iron, but the test has reached the advanced stage, and it will soon be possible to mass-produce mild steel. Mo knives don't need much, just a hundred, and they are also used as honor guards. Later, the vassal state sent an envoy over and asked the soldiers to practice the momentum of 'entering like a wall and shattering everyone', regardless of anything else, it must have scared many people.

By the time Yang Zilu was yy, the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom had almost reached a distance of sixty paces. At this time, the Vietnamese soldiers were not easy, although they did not receive the attack of the rain of arrows, but this was a psychological depression. They both know that each other's range can extend to a range of one hundred and twenty paces, but they haven't shot arrows yet, what the hell is this? Let all the Vietnamese soldiers involuntarily start to think wildly.

At this moment, the nervous voice of the doctor's tongue sounded. "Attention! Arrow Strike! ”

When all the Vietnamese soldiers heard this, not only did they not show nervous looks, but their faces were happy. However, the Vietnamese soldiers were not stupidly giggling, happy and happy, and everyone still honestly bent down and hid behind the tower shield. If someone sees the expression of the Yue soldiers, I am afraid that those who don't know will think that these guys like to play S.M.

At this time, some people may wonder, why not play layers of tortoiseshell formations? How majestic that is! Like a turtle shell! You don't look at what the shape of the tower shield is, the upper and lower are 'V' shaped, which is convenient for the tower shield to penetrate the ground. And a tower shield is less than fifteen kilograms, that's thirty pounds, and the wooden tower shield is heavier, do you say it's easy to lift?

But the result made everyone stunned, including Yang Zilu. Sharp arrows are powerful and powerful, and hitting the tower shield will cause the tower shield to shake. Once the shaking amplitude is too large, under the dense rain of arrows, there will immediately be arrows taking the opportunity to 'drill' in, and a miserable scream will be heard immediately. There were even inferior shields that were directly pierced by arrows and pierced into the bodies of the Vietnamese armor soldiers hiding behind the shields. Even the tower shield with good quality will be pierced by arrows, but fortunately, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and only the sharp arrows are exposed on the inner wall of the tower shield.

In fact, Yang Zilu couldn't have imagined that it would cause such a Warring States. Because of his confidence in the longbow, Yang Zilu did not let people test how powerful the longbow was, but after formulating what specifications it was, he let the ordnance supervisor mass-produce it. The longbowmen are usually low-cost training arrows to contact the archery target, which is no more powerful than the three-edged armor-piercing arrows used in combat.

In fact, this is normal, in the English longbow in the medieval era, the arrow at close range ** can shoot through the horse's neck and then through the chain mail on the knight's body, and the arrow is exposed from the knight's back. Although Yang Zilu's longbow is a copycat version, the shield of the Yue soldiers does not have the chain mail made of steel and the horse's neck!
