Volume 1 Lonely Island Boy Chapter 152 Effect
In fact, the method of training is not complicated, first of all, all the men between the ages of fifteen and forty are gathered, and then they are taken to a ravine somewhere in the grassland.
The ravine looks unremarkable, these men all carry dry food that can support about half a month, and they sing and dance in the ravine every day in archery competitions, anyway, they are idle for half a month. However, after half a month, it was obvious that everyone found that their bodies had become a little different, and the stones weighing hundreds of catties were thrown by them to play, and their eyesight and speed had greatly improved.
Then came archery. It is important to know that riding a bow and a stepping bow are two very different concepts.
The foot bow is a little more powerful. In the famous Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, the French army once used 36,000 men to surround the British army of 5,000 longbowmen. And 11,000 of the 36,000 were cavalry. You know, the knights of Europe are completely different from those of China. They were well armed and had strong armor. There were even cavalrymen who could reach the level of protection with plate armor. However, the British 5,000 longbowmen crushed 36,000 French troops. He who relied on the longbow. Longbows are very long, generally between 1.5 and 2 meters.
Naturally, it was impossible for the cavalry to use such a long bow. The Mongolian cavalry used a compound recurve bow, and the modern professional archers, at the level of the Olympic Games, generally used a recurve bow of about 80 pounds. And he is still standing and exerting force, and he basically loses his strength after shooting a few arrows. The cavalry was dead, that is, the 60-pound recurve bow was terrible.
But now the situation is different, their eyes and stamina have been greatly enhanced, and the bows they use can shoot at a longer range, faster rate, and more accurately. As a result, the kite-flying tactics of the Mongol light cavalry were almost perfect. Even after long-range bow battles and hand-to-hand combat, it is definitely the upper hand.
Jochi's 20,000 men marched westward and conquered the whole of Russia all the way to the interior of Europe, and there were basically no opponents, which is also one of the reasons.
Therefore, the Mongolian soldiers who had undergone this strange training naturally had to test their achievements by fighting.
Na Shun Ze Ma stood in the Chinese army, looking at the Xiongguan in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion. Once upon a time, Yanmen Pass was the pride of the Han people, and thousands of enemies piled up the prestige of Yanmen Pass with their bones, staining every inch of land under their feet with blood, but this pass firmly guarded the people inside. This time, it is himself who is facing this majestic pass, can he overcome it and achieve his prestige as an immortal general? Nashun collected his mood, issued orders one after another in an orderly manner, and the army came one after another, the vanguard troops, and his thousand-man team had to gain a firm foothold.
"Commander, the enemy is out of the city." An officer beside him shouted as he pointed to the city gate.
The three suspension bridges slowly fell together, and a group of military horses in the Yanmen Pass came out in a row, neatly setting up a formation outside the city gate, and the soldiers were strong and strong.
The Lord of the Jin Kingdom put a shield on his left glove, raised the spear high in his right hand, and pointed forward heavily: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!" Five hundred people shouted in unison.
Like a black whirlwind, five hundred warriors raised their spears and urged their horses, the sound of horses' hooves fell to the ground like dense raindrops, and the tips of the cold spears flashed with a dazzling light, and the knights on the horses were all in armor, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes, and even the horses were tightly wrapped in heavy armor. This is the most powerful Iron Floating Slaughter in the Jin Country, but the Iron Floating Slaughter is only 5,000 people at the most, and it is only 500 here. But five hundred is also a very terrifying lethality.
The horse's hooves flew over, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the lord of the Jin country led the team like a steel knife to break through the light cavalry formation of Nashun.
"Kill."
This is the power of the heavy cavalry, and the bows and arrows carried by the light cavalry are like scratching their boots, and they have no effect on stopping them. When the two cavalry were hedged against each other, the Jin soldiers raised their spears, and with the impact of the heavy cavalry, they often knocked the opponent to the ground with men and horses. And the sabers of those light cavalry slashed at them, leaving only a faint mark on the steel armor that glowed with black light.
Na Shun was not unaware of his weaknesses, and after the Jin Guo Lord broke out of the formation, Na Shun immediately issued an order, and the cavalry that was a little flustered before was neatly divided into three teams. Na Shun led a team of his own and rushed towards the Jin Guozhu General. The left and right teams spread far away and circled half a circle, wanting to enter from the flank of the main general of the Jin Kingdom.
Relying on the impact of heavy cavalry to fight against the light cavalry is the plan of the Jin State, and the frontal interception, the attack on both wings, resolutely do not give the Jin State the opportunity to rush up, with the advantage of numbers, especially the advantage of skilled horses, the Mongols are at least two horses per person, and now it is Nashun's wishful thinking to eat this heavy cavalry team.
General Jin looked at the oncoming light cavalry team with disdain, and shouted: "Brothers, kill me again!" ”
The black whirlwind rushed into Nashun's team again. It's just that the lord of the Jin Kingdom miscalculated this time, Na Shun personally led the team, and the morale of the light cavalry who were originally disrupted was greatly boosted, and Na Shun was surrounded by elite troops who had been trained, although they were only light cavalry, but their combat effectiveness was not the same. The heavy cavalry of the general of the Jin State was like stepping into a quagmire, and the left and right wings were also heavily wrapped by the enemy, and the impact force could not be exerted, and the heavy cavalry also fell into a hand-to-hand struggle.
General Jin threw down his spear, pulled out his long knife, roared, and aimed at the banner of the Chinese army, and the heavy cavalry followed the example of the commander, took out hand-to-hand weapons such as sabers and long knives, and turned to rely on the hard armor on his body to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and the original solid formation was gradually dispersed by the light cavalry, losing the advantage of impact power. The weapons in the hands of Nashun's subordinates seemed to have eyes, and they were specifically aimed at the eyes of the heavy cavalry, neck guards, and horses' hooves to shoot. One by one, the heavy cavalry fell. The Lord of the Kingdom of Jin did not look back. Now that it has been surrounded, finding the decisive battle where the enemy's leader is is the way out.
Nashun's guards resisted the Jin general to the death, this Jurchen was too terrifying, with a knife, he was about to fall down, and the guards around Nashun hurriedly said: "Commander, you retreat." ”
"I retreat? Then the enemy will soon break through our encirclement," Na Shun scolded, snatched the big flag from the flag officer's hand, and waved it vigorously: "Resist! ”
The Mongolian light cavalry saw their commander personally holding the flag, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the heavy cavalry of the Jin general resisted more and more hard, and the Jin general personally led dozens of cavalry to the Chinese army in Nashun, and the two of them could see each other's faces clearly. Nashun's guards begged the boss to back down again, and Nashun drew his saber and shouted: "Hold on any longer, and they will be wiped out!" ”
The Lord of the Jin Kingdom looked at the banner of Nashun and retreated slightly, and with a move in his heart, he cut off the head of an enemy in front of him with one sword, made up for two knives, threw away his helmet, raised his bloody head high, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me, the head of the grassland barbarians is here." ”
In the chaotic army, the voice of the chief general of the Jin State was still heard clearly. The light cavalry didn't know what to do, only to see a burly man holding a bloody head high, and his own banner was constantly retreating, and he suddenly felt a little weak.
The Lord of the Jin Kingdom gathered the remnants of the army and rushed out desperately in the direction of Nashun's retreat.
The defenders of Yanmen Pass hurriedly fell down the drawbridge, and the archers at the head of the city fired sharply, and the team that received the golden general entered the city.
This time, it's a half-pound and eight taels.
