Chapter 073 Dart Army
Thinking of this, Liu Cong clenched his fists, and after a few punches, he began to weigh his opponent: "I will establish such a cavalry team, the number of people does not need to be large, 10,000 horses are enough,
Well, Cao Cao, there are not many cavalry, at most it is only a few thousand men and horses,
Blow, there won't be a few thousand centaurs, it's good to have two thousand,
Sun Quan here, there are no cavalry at all, there are a few war horses, but they are only ridden by officers.
His army is characterized by a sailor, who can steer boats and boats.
Our Jingzhou army, to be honest, has similar characteristics to Eastern Wu now, that is, it is characterized by water warfare, and there are not many cavalry, and it is just ??????"
Liu Cong thought about it for a while, remembered it, I had read it in the troop file book before, and it clearly remembered how many soldiers there were and how many horses there were.
I saw it last year, and I remember that there were nine hundred and thirteen war horses in Jingzhou.
Most of these horses were ridden by the scouts and signal soldiers of the county yamen, as well as by the army and the principal officials of the county yamen.
The official cavalry, that is, more than three hundred people,
Liu Cong thought: "To form a rapid cavalry force, the first element is to have horses, oops, oops, these 10,000 war horses, where can I Liu Cong find it, a good war horse, needless to say too good, is an ordinary war horse that can fight, at least 10,000 yuan,
God, 10,000 war horses, 10,000,000 yuan, that's 100 million dollars, that's 10,000 catties of gold, next Olympics. ”
Liu Cong had a headache, the headache was very uncomfortable, Liu Cong sat down, covered his head with both hands and groaned: "There is no way to solve this problem, there is no way to solve this problem, there is no money, there is too much, 10,000 yuan, 10,000 catties of gold, the whole Jingzhou has been sold, and it can't sell this gold, needless to say that there is no gold, even if there is, even if you can buy these 10,000 war horses, you can't afford to support it." ”
At this point, Liu Cong was completely desperate, not desperate for the big events in Jingzhou, but desperate for forming a crack cavalry force.
Without war horses, the cavalry could not be formed, so Liu Cong thought: "Why can Genghis Khan form a cavalry of more than 100,000 people." ”
When he thought about it like this, his brain was excited, and he immediately understood: "There is grass on the grassland, as long as there is grass, the horses will have food, this is not enough, Jingzhou has nothing, but there are mountains, water, trees and bamboo, this place, can't afford to raise too many horses, hehehe." ”
Little Overlord Liu Cong smiled bitterly when he thought of this, stood up and patted his buttocks and said: "Let's go, go home and cuddle Yuan Ying to sleep, hey, the hot weapon army is not established without thinking about it, and the elite cavalry team using cold weapons does not need to be established.
Could it be that the idea of building a crack and distinctive army has been abandoned? ”
As long as Liu Cong thinks that something makes sense, he has to do it, so he wants to give up, and he himself will not allow it.
So he didn't go home, turned his face to look at the sky, and saw that the sun was still hanging high in the western sky, so Liu Cong sat down again, put his hands on his knees, palms on his chin, and looked down at the hill.
The little overlord Liu Cong has only traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the time is not long, but the things that participate in the hosting are also high-grade, and it can be said that he has done some big things.
An ordinary middle school student, because of the crossing, came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and took on the task of managing Jingzhou, one of the nine states in the world, and handled it well.
Needless to say, let's just say that he led 40,000 troops to cross the Han River, personally commanded the Mushroom Ridge ambush, the Queweipo blockade, and personally led the troops to conquer Fancheng, and defeated Cao Cao's three generals, these things are enough for Liu Cong to show off to others for a lifetime.
Others, how many others have done such a big thing,
Therefore, whether Liu Cong is appreciating these wars by himself or commenting on which wars in history, he is qualified to comment, not like those poor and rotten Confucians, looking for chapters and sentences, talking on paper, staring at his eyes and grinning.
At this time, Liu Cong listed several wars he knew about in history, and also analyzed the characteristics and experiences of these wars.
After analyzing it for a while, I didn't find out that the war was won because of the characteristics of one army, so I won't analyze it.
But his mind stayed on the various forms of war in this era, and he felt that the forms of war at this time were a bit too much: "It's too formal." ”
Liu Cong thought, hey, the two sides are going to fight, and they have to make a war letter first, and make an appointment about the time and place.
When the time came, he took the soldiers and horses to the agreed place to fight and fight.
In fact, after the two sides brought the meeting place, they couldn't fight, and they had to go through the routine procedures.
It is necessary to wait for the two sides to set up their respective positions, beat the drum three ways, and the crossbowmen shoot the feet, and then the main generals of the two sides will come out of the formation to speak,
What do you say, that is, you criticize me, that I am wrong; I criticize you and say you're wrong,
At this time, if one side accepts the criticism and bears, it will automatically retreat, and the war will end,
If the two sides don't give in to each other, then it's time to start working.
Liu Cong laughed dumbly when he thought of this, and scolded: "The Art of War clearly says 'Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored', but why do I look at the combat form at this time, as if it is a lover dating,
A war letter in advance is a love letter for dating;
After leading the troops over, they must also erect a flag to identify themselves;
Drum tee, it's like starting to take off your pants;
The crossbowmen on both sides shot their feet, that is, arranged the place to lie down, so as not to affect the copulation of which side was lying in a bad posture;
The lords of both sides will come out to speak, and it will be like the beginning**;
If you don't move the other party to retreat or surrender, you start fighting, and this engagement is like the most dating. ”
Liu Cong thought of this and commented: "When you start fighting, you have to fight the generals first, the generals on that side are killed or wounded, this side is generally defeated, and the current wars are basically in this fixed format, which is too rigid." ”
Liu Cong commented on this, and thought: "From now on, the war I commanded will definitely get rid of this form, no matter whether it is an encounter war, an ambush war, no matter what form of war, the only purpose is to strive for victory, as long as there is a strong army with characteristics, no matter what the war situation, it will win." ”
At this time, Liu Cong raised the characteristics of the army to the point that it was the only factor to achieve victory in the war.
Yes, without an army, how to conduct a war, without an army with characteristics, how to win the war,
Liu Cong's perception is right and correct,
Since he recognized the importance of the characteristics of the army, Liu Cong began to list the weapons of the army at this time: "There are no excellent weapons, swords, guns, swords, halberds, cold weapons, and only by relying on the skillfulness of practice can we have an advantage on the battlefield.
But, pitiful, from generals to soldiers, they are all such swords, guns, swords, halberds, and no one can distinguish the characteristics.
Well, the bow and arrow are a weapon between a cold weapon and a hot weapon, and it does extend the distance of killing.
But, to tell the truth, shoot an arrow immediately, and the rate of hitting an arrow is almost zero beyond a hundred paces, within fifty steps, the rate of hitting an arrow is fifty percent, and within ten steps it is one hundred percent.
However, if the cavalry fights, within ten paces, it is no longer a distance, and it is instantaneous, and it is too late to bend the bow and release the arrows.
Besides, bows and arrows, there are too many shortcomings,
It is inconvenient to carry when marching, and it is not pleasant to use when fighting, and the bow and crossbow cannot withstand moisture, and when the weather is wet and the bowstring is damp, it cannot be used.
To take advantage of a good day to bend the bow and shoot arrows, hehe, it is impossible to choose the weather at all to lead troops to fight,
Can you design a weapon that replaces the bow and arrow?
Such a weapon not only has the characteristics and functions of the bow and arrow, but also makes up for the shortcomings of the bow and arrow, and uses such weapons and equipment to deal with an army, isn't this what I look forward to? ”
However, Liu Cong couldn't design such a weapon for a while.
He sat here and thought about it for a long time, felt a little cool, turned his face to look at the sky, and saw that the sun was already close to the mouth of the mountain in the west, Liu Cong got up, stretched his body, put his hands on the old trunk of a cypress tree, pushed a few handfuls, and said to himself: "Where can I find such a weapon." ”
Thinking like this, I suddenly remembered the story of the Dian Wei envoy's halberd,
Although Dian Wei had been dead for almost ten years at this time, when Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting in Yanzhou, Dian Wei used a halberd to kill the enemy, which is really a happy allusion.
Within ten steps, 100 shots and 100 hits, "Isn't this halberd more convenient than a bow and crossbow, why can't all soldiers be allowed to take the halberd to the field to kill the enemy." ”
Liu Cong asked to himself, and then asked himself: "Maybe the range of the halberd is not as far as the arrow, right?
However, if you shoot an arrow immediately, the rate of hitting an arrow within 100 steps is zero, within 50 steps, the rate of hitting an arrow is 50%, and within 100 steps is 100%.
It's the same with the halberd, it seems that the range is not the main disadvantage of the halberd,
It may be that the strength of the halberd is not as strong as the arrow, the halberd is only a one-handed force, and the archery is a two-arm force, well, this point, must make the shortcomings of the halberd,
However, within ten steps to take the effect, the halberd is definitely not worse than the arrow,
100% hit rate within 10 steps,
Take the effect within twenty steps, and the halberd is definitely not worse than the arrowhead,
Within thirty steps, there is no need to compare,
Thirty steps away from the comparison of the effect, the halberd is definitely not as good as the arrow,
However, when it comes to using a halberd, there are many advantages that a bow and crossbow arrow can never match, hehe. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Cong seemed to see an army of halberds charging in front of him,
The soldiers each carried thirty halberds, hung sabers at their waists, and rushed on the saddles.
met Cao Bing head-on, Cao Bing was holding swords, guns, swords, halberds,
Look at the time when the two armies were still twenty steps away from each other, the Jingzhou halberd soldiers shot at the same time, only to hear "Boom, boom, boom, boom" A gust of wind sounded, and the Jingzhou soldiers threw out the first wave of halberds at the same time.
I could only hear a ghost crying wolf howl in the Cao soldiers' array, and a group of Cao soldiers at the front fell to the ground one after another, 073
