Under the leadership of Su He, this hundred-person team began to turn around and shoot archery tactics when retreating, and the whole team was lined up in two horizontal rows, facing the straw man phalanx at a distance of thirty meters, and was ready.

I saw Qin Dong give an order: "Retreat back to the body archery tactical training, start!" ”

Su He, who got the order, yelled: "Withdraw!" Withdraw with me! ”

Under the leadership of Su He, the two columns quickly turned their horses' heads and turned to run, and after running twenty meters, they stopped and neatly set up their bows and shoot arrows.

This was a salvo, with a "buzz" sound, and the rain of arrows shot in the middle of the straw man formation like locusts, followed by Su He and the horse team continued to retreat, and after running out of twenty meters, he stopped firing another volley, and ran seven or eight times with one face, until he ran out of the range of the bow and arrow.

After the horse team assembled in front of Qin Dong and others again under the leadership of Su He, Qin Dong commented: "No, it's too chaotic, it's too chaotic, the queue is not neat, the archery has come first and last, and it has not reached a unified pace, this is a salvo, not scattering, scattering We will practice later, the salvo must have a unified pace of salvo, it can't be messed up, Su He, you now take the horse team to retreat and retreat to the body and scatter freely, this tactic doesn't have to care about the neat formation, each horse archer plays freely, free archery is different from salvo, Salvo requires a neat and dense queue, and you don't have to care about accuracy, so that you can use dense shooting to achieve the effect of shooting a large number of enemy soldiers, and free scatter is to play the archery skills of each horse archer, so you need to shoot accurately, understand? ”

Su He nodded and said, "Understood, my lord, according to your statement, each tactic can be divided into two situations for training, one is salvo and the other is scattering!"

Qin Dong nodded and said, "Yes, that's it!" After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Well, let's put it another way, and split the cavalry shooting, but all the salvos that should be lined up in a neat line are called 'riding shots', and the free scattering in the process of galloping horses is called 'galloping', I say this, do you understand?" ”

This split is very intuitive and easy to understand, and everyone nods: "Understood, my lord!" ”

"Okay, Su He, you will lead the team to practice the tactical training of mounted archery and running archery respectively, there are two kinds of training in mounted archery and running archery, one is to divide the two wings, and the other is to retreat and shoot arrows!"

"Yes, sir!" Su He agreed, and then yelled at the horse team behind him: "Come with me!" ”

The training began again, this time Su He first began to train running, because their previous riding and archery skills are basically the current running, free scattering in horseback galloping, this mainly depends on the archery accuracy and shooting speed of the horse archer, the higher the accuracy of archery, the greater the lethality, and the speed of shooting also has a great impact on the lethality, because it is an attack on the enemy formation, the density of the enemy army is very high, and you can shoot people no matter how you shoot, so the faster the speed of the arrow, the greater the damage caused.

Several officers rode on horses to watch the training of the horse team, and this training saw that the problem came, because the Hun cavalry were all wild roads in the past, and basically rarely carried out unified training, and the good and bad were uneven, and the discipline was very poor, and the training was a bit chaotic at the beginning, many people couldn't tell the left and right, and the speed of archery was very fast, and some were very slow.

Qin Dong turned his head and asked, "Mu Ren, you are an archer, what do you think of the combat power of these people?" ”

Mu Ren hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, do you want to hear the truth or do you want to hear lies?" ”

"Nonsense, do you think I want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Mu Ren nodded and said: "Okay, my lord, to be honest, now the combat effectiveness of my Great Hun cavalry is invincible in Europa all day long, the Roman Empire and the Germanic barbarians have been scared by us, but I have watched this training, I think that if we follow the training methods formulated by you to carry out systematic and long-term training on several tactics you proposed, then our combat strength will rise in a straight line, we have no tactics at all before, we only know how to charge the enemy on horseback, and shoot arrows while charging, After rushing to the enemy's vicinity, he threw away his bow and arrows and drew his sword to kill, now with your tactics, I believe that as long as our people meet your training requirements, our combat effectiveness can be multiplied several times, and in the case of facing the enemy head-on, we can use 1,000 cavalry to deal with other Hun cavalry 5,000 cavalry! ”

Qin Dong nodded, turned his head and asked Tolong: "Tolong, you are a very thoughtful person, what do you think?" ”

Toron thought for a while and said: "My lord, these tactics of yours are very good, I have always wanted to create several horse archer tactics before, but I suffer from limited ability, I can't think of it if I want to break my head, now these tactics of yours make my brain suddenly clear, if we strengthen the discipline and discipline training of the army, and then train your tactics, it is bound to achieve amazing results!" ”

After listening to Tolong's words, Qin Dong immediately understood, that is, recruit training, to train the discipline of soldiers, that is, absolute orders and prohibitions, tacit mutual cooperation, consistent pace, and super assembly reaction speed! These people have to start training from scratch, spending two months training all the soldiers under them with basic recruits, and then conducting tactical training after completing the basic recruit training, which is bound to do more with less.

After thinking clearly, Qin Dong nodded; "Yes, Tolon, you have a very unique opinion, yes, I am going to retrain these people as soon as I arrive at Saidika, and make them professional cavalry!"

"Professional cavalry?" Everyone around me was a little puzzled when they heard this name.

Qin Dong explained: "Yes, it is a professional cavalry, they do not herd horses and sheep, do not engage in production, and are only responsible for training and fighting. The Huns are going to change, they can no longer continue under the shape of this tribal military alliance, I will pay for them, they are responsible for fighting for me, they can get thirty percent of the spoils, and the rest will be given to me, and I will give some to the officers and generals, and the rest will be left to develop armaments and pay the salaries of soldiers and officers, every month! ”

Muren, Batu, Tuolong and others looked at each other, and everyone saw the shock and joy in each other's eyes, this is definitely a heavy reform that affects history, you must know what salary the Hun cavalry has now? In the end, less than one percent of the booty can be obtained, and fighting is compulsory labor for the Hun cavalry, equivalent to militia, and you still want money? Dream on!

But Qin Dong now wants to break this situation, and he wants to transform his cavalry into professional cavalry, and these professional cavalry are still free men, of course, free men just say that they are not slaves, they don't go wherever they want, they still belong to Qin Dong's jurisdiction, and they are different from the slave soldiers and mercenaries of the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire is simply a freak, the emperor's army is exhausted, and he can actually invite mercenaries to help him guard the city and territory to resist the attack of the Huns, the last emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Theodosius II, did just that, and those mercenaries really helped him defend the city, and finally handed over Constantinople to Theodosius II, if it was in other countries, it is estimated that this group of mercenaries must have established themselves as kings after holding the city, how could they hand over the city? Wouldn't you be foolish to do that? In the words of later generations, it is the brain that lacks a string, two B! But the Roman Empire in this period was like this, full of mercenaries everywhere, and these mercenaries were very trustworthy, but twenty years later, when the Western Roman Emperor did this again, he couldn't do it, and the mercenary leader was very cunning, he abolished the Western Roman Emperor and sat on the throne of the emperor himself.

Qin Dong saw that Su He and the others had trained a few times before giving them an order to stop, and when the hundred-man team was panting and gathered in front of everyone, Qin Dong said: "Just now you trained in mounted archery and running archery, and now I will teach you another tactical skill, the name of this tactical skill is 'flying shooting'."

What is a flyer? It is to shoot the arrow in your hand when you are galloping, what is the difference between flying and running? Running is to face the enemy sideways, turn around and draw the bow and shoot arrows, while flying is to face the enemy head-on, before galloping towards the enemy at high speed, shooting their own arrows outside the range of the bow and arrow in hand, some people say, how is this possible? How can you shoot at the enemy outside the range? No, I said yes.

The reason why we want to shoot arrows outside the range is to take advantage of the high-speed galloping speed of the war horse, and we can shoot the arrows farther by using this speed, so that we can shoot the enemy, and the enemy can't shoot us, the time of archery is not unlimited, at most three arrows can be shot, and the speed of archery should be fast, and immediately after shooting, turn the horse's head and turn and run back, I say this, do you understand? It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll give you a demonstration! ”

"It's all good!" After Qin Dong finished speaking, he rode his horse and galloped towards the straw man array in the distance, and when the distance was two hundred meters, the speed of Qin Dong's war horse ran to the fastest speed, at this time Qin Dong suddenly stood upright and shot with a bow, only to see that the arrow shot diagonally upwards at a forty-five degree angle, and then Qin Dong shot two arrows in a row at a very fast speed, and immediately after shooting three arrows, he immediately pulled the reins, and the war horse turned and ran back.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw it, you must know that the bows and arrows in their hands can only shoot up to one hundred and fifty meters, which is already remarkable, but Qin Dong's three arrows in a row actually shot more than two hundred meters and landed in the straw man formation, this flying tactical skill is so powerful?

In the blink of an eye, Qin Dong had already ridden his horse and ran back, and said with a smile: "How is it?" Do you see it clearly? The key is to take advantage of the top speed of this sprint, and to shoot the arrow in a direction of 45 degrees to the ground, which means that the direction of the arrow should be in the middle of the horizontal and vertical lines, not high or low! If this tactic is practiced well, we can even use it to suppress the soldiers on the enemy's walls during sieges, and we can also constantly strike at enemy formations in field battles, with the advantage that we can shoot at them, but their archers can't shoot us! ”

When everyone thought that this was indeed the case, everyone was overjoyed, and patted their badges to ensure that they must practice this flying shooting tactical skill.
