It's just that he glanced at someone on the right, and muttered to himself in his heart: That old thing is really the older the qualification, the less courageous it is. He likes to teach other leaders who are lower than him to be too radical and risky, and he doesn't know how to keep the tribal continuation and stability first! It's really annoying! Even sending a shaman representative is a look like we may not have no opinion on your leader, but I just don't say anything about it, and I really think that he was still young, the leader of the largest mountain tribe in the west of the Forbidden Spirit Mountain Range twenty or thirty years ago.

Let the stone walls of the AIDS people and their bows, arrows, knives and guns teach those arrogant guys of the Ba Yan tribe well, and dispel the arrogance of the other party all along, so as not to cause trouble again when they cooperate in the future!

There was no red tape at this post-blood meeting, when he justifiably gave orders, dispatched troops, and decided how to deal with the army of the Aista lords.

Mona Ludao directly ordered: "According to the news we heard before, the lord here is a careerist who can toss, and he not only raised a group of semi-full-time militia of two or three hundred people, but also relied on the financial resources accumulated by his smuggling and tax evasion, and bought a few mercenaries who have been fighting outside all year round, forming his own elite guard of about 150 lords, and his combat effectiveness is undoubted!"

"Although our warriors have a numerical advantage on the surface, our adult people are all soldiers when they take up arms, but vice versa, it can also be said that all soldiers are soldiers, and we and them cannot afford to consume the population and suffer too many casualties, so it is best to concentrate and quickly break through their walls. As long as we enter into face-to-face street fighting, the martial prowess of our warriors can quickly make the opponent frightened and defeated. “

He went on to explain, "Let the warriors of the Ba Yan tribe first try to charge up the city wall and explore the reality of the opponent's defensive capabilities. If they disperse their soldiers on all four walls, we will gather the warriors and use the gates that break directly to the south. ”

That being said.

Even if you don't know what it means to despise the enemy strategically, you need to pay attention to the enemy tactically.

Monarudao, who is the general leader, will not think that this battle will be easy to fight.

The northeast of the town is surrounded by a northwest-trending river flowing down from a high-altitude snow-capped mountain, which flows north from a few dozen meters outside the city wall on the east side of the town, and then turns west from the north side of the town, isolating the hills and large areas of primeval jungle in a figure of seven.

On the northwest side of the town, there are not many long walls, and along the steps that extend upwards are a group of small hills more than twenty meters high, on which sits the lord's castle.

To attack the castle first, not only will you have to climb the hill, but you will also have a steady stream of soldiers to support you from the walls.

The defenders of the castle only need to stand on the top of the hill on the north side and within the castle female wall, standing dozens of longbow archers to threaten the enemy within a radius of at least 300 meters around them.

Some military fans on Earth are always superstitious about the powerful penetration power and intricate and fascinating mechanical construction of military crossbows.

But actually.

In fact, the longbow of the Cold Weapon era had many advantages over other ranged weapons of the era.

The longbow is better than the crossbow on the battlefield, mainly because of its fast rate of fire.

In terms of firepower density, the combat effectiveness of one longbowman is at least equal to that of three or four crossbowmen.

A qualified archer can shoot 12 arrows in a minute, and if it is a random burst of arrows, the rate of fire can be increased to 15, and some perverts can even shoot 20 arrows.

By 1866, the breech-loading Dreisers of the Austro-Prussian War were only half as fast as that.

Legend has it that when the legendary ranger Robin Hood shot five arrows hundreds of years ago, the crossbowman he was competing with had not yet been reinforced.

With such a firing speed of the crossbowman, it is okay to shoot a black gun and release a cold arrow, and the two armies will suffer a big loss when they face each other.

When fighting, this is not just a matter of numbers, but a matter of victory or defeat or even life.

A 200-meter horse charge takes about 90 seconds for hoplites and 15 seconds for heavy cavalry.

Against such a moving target, slow and accurate shooting is clearly meaningless.

The key is the density of the launch, and the more arrows you shoot, the more hope of life and victory.

The longbow has a long range and is extremely penetrating.

The modern longbow fires a cluster of arrows with a maximum range of 400 yards (360 meters, one yard equals three feet, or 0.9 meters), but this lacks actual combat significance, and the end of the strong crossbow has no lethality, and the target has long been biased to the country of Claw.

The more informative is that in the 14th ~ 15th century, the selection criteria for the longbow unit stipulated that the shooter needed to be able to shoot a humanoid target 200 yards away to be qualified, and the flat firing distance was about 180 meters.

This is beyond the reach of ordinary bows and arrows.

Extrapolating from the maximum range of 400 yards, the arrow's initial velocity can reach more than 60 m/s, which is equivalent to a bolt falling from a 60-story building, or a stone thrown at a car traveling at more than 200 kilometers per hour with bare hands.

It can penetrate leather, padded armor and fabric, or penetrate chain mail at distances of 240-280 yards (220-260 meters).

At a distance of 200 yards, plate or fish scale armor can withstand its penetration, and a frontal hit within 100 yards cannot resist even plate armor, and at a range of 50 meters, the longbow and arrow are simply indestructible.

During the Siege of Abergavenny in 1182, the Welsh fired arrows that pierced the four-inch (10 cm) thick oak door panels, as described four years later by a veteran of the god of war who was a missionary in the army.

In the same battle, one of the knights of William of Braose was shot, and the arrow pierced his chainmail skirt, shin guards, thighs, and through the inner shin guards and wooden saddle, all the way into the horse's back.

Moreover.

Longbowman equipment is simple and easy to obtain.

The armor of the longbowmen was rudimentary compared to that of their contemporaries of knights or heavy infantry, and generally consisted only of light helmets and chest guards.

In the industrial age, the intricate parts of military crossbows were not made by lathes, and the metal parts of most crossbow machines were manually polished after casting, which was extremely time-consuming.

Since archers only need a small amount of light equipment, they can not only be hired in large quantities at a low cost, but they can also be used flexibly on the battlefield, maneuvering to a favorable position in time to carry out deadly fires.

The training foundation of humans in this world is better.

On Earth.

The disadvantage of the longbow is that the user must have a strong physique, superb technique and coordination in all aspects.

To do this, soldiers not only need to be tall and strong, but also have to go through many years of training and practice. ()
