Chapter 10 Experience the life of the Qin army
readx;? Of course, Zhang Jiashi would not hold a grudge against Yao Yong like this, the other party said that this thing has no meaning at all in actual combat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Moreover, if you have to count it, this is obviously Zhang Jiashi's self-deprecation.
And Yao Yong suddenly remembered something after putting the thing down, and he explained to Zhang Jiashi: "Engong, this thing has indeed been used on the battlefield, but I heard that people who try this method will end up miserable. ”
Zhang Jiashi looked at Yao Yong suspiciously: "Yao Baijiang, this ...... How miserable is it?"
Yao Yong looked around, and then whispered to Zhang Jiashi: "It is said that these people have become hedgehogs on the battlefield, inserting bows and arrows shot by the enemy, and they don't seem to even be able to see their appearance. ”
"......" Zhang Jiashi was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about the resurrected legion that he had inadvertently seen in the later generations, those computer-restored spear army soldiers, it was indeed easy to be shot directly into hedgehogs.
But then he had a new question, that is, didn't there also be archers in the Qin army?
"General Yao Bai, are there many archers in the army?"
"Well, Engong, it's hard for me to answer this question from you, well, please wait a moment. Yao Yong said and ran out of the schoolyard.
After Zhang Jiashi came back to his senses, he watched the training of the Qin soldiers on the school field.
......
The Qin army trained in the school field was all infantry, and the cavalry and charioteers often had to run to the open space outside the barracks when they were training.
This is not to say that the infantry status of the Qin army is too high, but the size of the school field is often relatively small. If there was a need for mixed training of multiple arms, the entire barracks would basically go out except for the personnel on duty.
Therefore, the training of cavalry and charioteers was carried out outside the barracks.
What Zhang Jiashi saw was not the unified pace training he saw on the TV, but the training of a commander commanding several of his subordinates to cooperate with each other.
During the Warring States period, it did not pay much attention to the unified pace of the troops, but mainly used the coherence of cooperation between small formations to increase the basic combat capability of the troops. Under this premise, it is rare for hundreds of people or thousands of people to perform together.
The most basic unit of the Qin army is Wu, and the commander of a Wu will often act as the most basic commander, commanding five people, including him, on the battlefield to fight the enemy.
The county soldiers of the Qin army rarely carried out large-scale coordinated operations, and many times they fought separately between small detachments.
There are good and bad ways of fighting this way, and the advantage is that the combat effectiveness of a single army is often stronger than that of the enemy's five people alone. Moreover, it is also conducive to the command and coordination of the troops.
The shortcomings are also obvious, once the low-level officer who is the core is killed, this small detachment of the Qin army does not know what to do in a short period of time. Unless someone finds out about it and puts them under their command.
Of course, such disadvantages can be said to be insignificant compared to the advantages.
The Qin army has its own set of rewards and punishments, and such a plan is more of a joint regulation.
For example, if the captain is killed, but the others are unscathed, the whole army is killed, and a small detachment has taken a large number of enemies, and while calculating the military merits according to the number of heads, one army or one tied will often receive additional rewards.
It's just that the Qin army rarely has such a successful example of killing good and risking merits, and during the period from the Shang Dynasty to the unification of the Six Kingdoms by Qin Shi Huang, the military discipline of the Qin army can be said to be the best among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.
Moreover, the review system of military merit is often a very strict thing.
Once the killing of good and fraudulent merit is discovered, it is inevitable to lose one's head, and no matter how high the title is, it will be abolished and the family will be converted into slavery, and this punishment method will have a very positive effect.
In addition, the Qin army also has a record that the other six countries can't catch up, that is, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin army and the military have no record of slaughtering the city, and the only ones that are stained with the edge are the flooding of Yuncheng by Baiqi and the attack on Daliang by Wang Ben and Zhang Shui. But strictly speaking, tactical offensive is not a massacre.
As for the other Warring States Seven Heroes, none of them can do this. Especially in the several joint attacks on Qin, all the cities that were broken by the combined column army seemed to be left behind, and many were even burned to the ground.
Therefore, as the Qin army of the tyrannical Qin, military discipline is enough to make the so-called remnants of the Six Kingdoms shut their mouths.
As for such a thing as killing prisoners of war, especially the killing of 400,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, it can be seen that the Qin State did not want to have more slaves, but it was impossible to raise them, and it was impossible to put them back, so these prisoners had to be killed.
However, there is a very good sentence in the late Qing Dynasty's "Qin Hui Yao": Qin used the Shang martingale strategy to make a knight of the twenty ranks, and those who won the first rank in battle were knighted. It is because every time Qin defeats, the old and weak women die, and the merit is rewarded to tens of thousands. The world is said to be the first country of merit.
Well, Zhang Jiashi remembered that his master Xuan Si made a comment: "All the old and weak women are dead? Could it be that just by arresting the men in the prime of life, can they increase the population? Can the men still have children?"
If Zhang Jiashi remembered correctly, several brothers and sisters laughed miserably because of the master's words.
(A lot of the "Hui Yao" in the Qing Dynasty is nonsense, especially "The Three Kingdoms Hui Yao", Ben Wolf really doubts whether Qian Yiji is watching "Three Kingdoms" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".) )
......
After some time, Yao Yong found a Qin military material officer named Chen Heng, who was a low-ranking officer of the Qin army who was skilled in bows and arrows and was born in Orion.
After hearing Yao Yong's relay of Zhang Jiashi's words, Chen Heng was silent for a moment, and then said: "General Zhang Bai, you may not be familiar with our understanding of the county soldier system. Well, I'll just talk about it briefly. ”
Under Chen Heng's explanation, Zhang Shixin understood that there were archers, hand crossbowmen, waist crossbowmen and bed crossbowmen among the county soldiers.
Such an establishment is also found in the border army and the internal history corps, but compared to the county soldiers, the proportion of long-range troops will be different.
In the northern border armies, there were not many foot archers in the army, and those who were generally good at archery or riding were often trained as a cavalry archer, that is, archers or crossbow cavalry.
He didn't know the situation of the Neishi Corps, but the troops of the Southern Expedition to Baiyue did not have too many bed crossbowmen, but many of the archers or crossbowmen in the army were from southern Orion.
As for the crossbowmen of the county soldiers, they are often adjusted according to the terrain or the needs of city defense.
However, in the army, there are fewer good archers than good crossbowmen. Because an archer often takes longer to train before he can have a chance to exert his combat effectiveness.
And a crossbowman does not require too strict training, it is easy to train.
In general, there were a little more crossbowmen than archers in the Qin army.
Zhang Jiashi suddenly had an interest, that is, he wanted to see what the Qin army's several bow and crossbow standard equipment were.
And after Yao Yong and Chen Heng heard this, their faces suddenly changed greatly.
Chen Heng said something to Zhang Jiashi that was enough to make Zhang Jiashi faint: "General Zhang Bai, the hard bow and crossbow under his position, even if they are lent to Zhang Baishi for practice in the future, it doesn't matter." But...... Waist crossbows and bed crossbows are not allowed to be used for other purposes without the approval of the county lieutenant. ”
Well, Chen Heng's words have clearly pointed out one point, that is, ordinary longbows and hand crossbows, Chen Heng can let him play with them, but waist crossbows and bed crossbows are impossible.
(The pouting crossbow and the waist trigger crossbow are similar in principle, and both belong to the category of medium-sized crossbows.) As for the waist crossbow, there is an evaluation: "Those who are weak use the tension, and those who are strong still use the waist to open." This means that there is no difference between the waist crossbow and the pouting crossbow in the hands of a person with great strength. In addition, the rhubarb triple crossbow of the Han Dynasty is very likely to be a waist crossbow rather than a bed crossbow, because there is a record in the "Historical Records of Li Guangchuan": Li Guang used the rhubarb ginseng crossbow to shoot several Xiongnu Zuoxian kings. Well, there is one thing, and that is that it is impossible to use a bed crossbow on a horse. Well...... Was Li Guang riding a horse or defending the city at that time???)
And at this time, the little officer who had been sent away by Yao Yong before was now struggling to drag a weapon more than two meters long and somewhat similar to Chang Ge towards them.
"What is this?" Zhang Jiashi asked Yao Yong in confusion.
"Engong, this is a halberd. ”
"Isn't the halberd supposed to be crescent-shaped?"
"Engong, the thing you said is a crescent axe, and this thing is called a halberd. ”
Well, Zhang Jiashi seems to have made a mistake again, in the pre-Qin and Qin dynasties, there was no weapon that would only appear in literary novels, just like this halberd, after a long, long time, the crescent halberd would become synonymous with the halberd. And the halberd at this time refers to Yige, a kind of Changge with three horizontal blades.
According to Yao Yong, this thing is very difficult to use, because it is easy for the enemy to get stuck in the weapon.
Of course, that little soldier still worked tirelessly to find the kind of thing called the crescent halberd for Zhang Jiashi.
And there is a big difference with Zhang Jiashi's impression that the so-called crescent blade is just a long axe with a reverse blade...... In other words, like the Fang Tian Painting Halberd of the later generations, it is actually an axe.
What Zhang Jiashi doesn't know is that there are many things in history that are blindly broken out by later generations. It's like Guan Erye's so-called genuine Qinglong Yanyue knife in the Guandi Temple in his hometown in Xie County, Shanxi...... It was a weapon that officially appeared after the Tang and Song dynasties. Moreover, Guan Erye's long weapon, like Zhang Fei, should be a spear rather than a glaive knife that did not appear at all in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
(There is a sentence in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Guan Yu": Yu Wang sees the good man, and the spur is good among the crowd, well, there is no need to talk about the rest.) )
......
Next, Zhang Jiashi wanted to try his archery skills.
But compared to this, Yao Yong thinks that Zhang Jiashi should solve the problem of long weapons first.
Zhang Jiashi finally looked around for a long time on a row of weapon racks on the side of the school field, but he didn't find anything he liked.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
"General Yao Bai, well, can I ask the blacksmith in the army to build a weapon?"
Yao Yong thought for a while and nodded: "This question is still not big, I don't know what weapon Engong wants to build?"
"Well, is there any pen and ink?"
"Yes, please wait. ”
After working for a while, Ying Yuelian saw that Yao Yong actually showed a hint of surprise, she walked over curiously, and saw a triangular sword painted on a light yellow linen cloth rather than a knife.
Because between the blade and the blade, there is basically a triangle.
Yao Yong then thought about it, and still said his thoughts: "Engong, even if this thing uses a metal handle, I'm afraid it will be easy to bend.
"Just trim the hilt a little shorter. ”
"But it's too short to work on horseback. ”
"It's okay, it's just not interrupted. ”
Well, since the parties all say so, what else can Yao Yong say?
Looking at Yao Yong's background, Ying Yuelian looked at Zhang Jiashi with a puzzled face: "What's the use of you wanting this thing?"
"I'm here to smash people. And the sword is thick enough, so I don't have to worry about being cut off all at once. ”
Well, Zhang Jiashi's words made Ying Yuelian couldn't help but look Zhang Jiashi's thin body up and down, and she couldn't help but smile in the end......
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
After eating in the afternoon, Zhang Jiashi appeared in the school field again. For Zhang Jiashi, the Qin army in Wanxian County has another indescribable complex expression contained in it.
But compared to the eyes of others, Zhang Jiashi and his party, a wolf and a horse, came to the archers' training ground.
As a marksman, Chen Heng certainly knows very well what a person needs to do to train archery.
He didn't eat lunch, but bought a few poultry from Wanxian so that Zhang Jiashi could practice.
In the archery arena, Zhang Jiashi saw two crossbows and five bows on the ground.
Chen Heng was arranging a straw man, he gently slapped the straw man, and after he was still very satisfied with the fruits of his labor, he trotted to Zhang Jiashi's side and said a word: "Zhang Baijiang, well, you can train the hand crossbow first, because the aiming method of the hand crossbow is relatively simple, and it is also easy to get started." ”
Zhang Jiashi picked up a crossbow according to his words, and then under the guidance of Chen Heng, he slowly learned how to pull the string to fix the position, place the crossbow arrow, the correct aiming method and other ways to operate the crossbow.
Chen Heng saw that Zhang Jiashi had almost learned, then took a few steps back, and said to Zhang Jiashi: "Zhang Baijiang, don't be too nervous, relax, just aim the arrow position at the straw man." ”
Zhang Jiashi nodded, then half-knelt on the ground, aiming at the straw man dozens of meters away.
He pulled the bronze trigger, and a bronze crossbow arrow more than sixty centimeters in length broke away from the crossbow groove and flew towards the straw man.
As a result, Zhang Jiashi got a result that was not very good, nor too bad.
The bolt pierced the straw man, and then landed on an earthen wall behind the straw man.
And Chen Heng said a sentence: "Zhang Baijiang, it's not bad, it penetrated the right shoulder of the straw man." ”
Zhang Jiashi nodded, and after completing a load, he conducted another test shot.
Time passed slowly, and after Chen Heng's careful explanation, Zhang Jiashi mastered the use of the Qin army's four-stone hand crossbow and five-stone hand crossbow at the cost of missing the target by about one-third.
However, when Chen Heng switched to using a live chicken as a target, something happened that stunned everyone present.
Because, even the chickens froze.
Zhang Jiashi, who was thirty meters away, fired a crossbow arrow that directly broke the thin rope tied to the feet of a live chicken......
“......”
There was silence.
"Cluck...... The live chicken flapped its wings and flew around in the archery field.
"Poof, I said, don't tell me, you deliberately shot that rope, right?" Ying Yuelian was so red that she couldn't help laughing in the end.
And Zhang Jiashi looked stupid, looked at the live chicken, and finally just said a sentence: "I...... It was a mistake, a mistake. ”
"Really?" Ying Yuelian's expression showed that she was very happy to despise Zhang Jiashi in her heart.
......
After tossing for nearly two hours, Zhang Jiashi's face was full of defeat, and he knelt on the ground with the shape of an orl.
Because, for nearly four hours, the chicken was still alive...... Well, Ying Yuelian couldn't help but hold back a smile and comforted Zhang Jiashi: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, some things just need to work hard...... Seriously, Brother Hu Hai's archery skills are not as good as you...... Precision. ”
"Are you comforting people? Why do I think you're hurting me?" Zhang Jiashi looked at the live chicken in front of him angrily who had simply closed his eyes and was waiting for death, and gritted his teeth with hatred: "Today, I want to eat roast chicken ......"
Of course, Zhang Jiashi's "accurate" archery skills, if you want to add food, at least today, it is impossible.
Because, after everyone's training was over, the live chicken was still alive and kicking around, and was caught back into the cage by Chen Heng......
