Chapter 15 Northeast Scuffle 8
readx;???? The border garrison troops of Liaoning County under Xu Ting were the first batch of troops under Zhang Jiashi to be equipped with paper armor on a large scale. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info.d.
There have been corresponding changes in some of the training and tactics in this area.
For Xu Ting, this is not a very big problem.
After all, Xu Ting also has his own experience in this regard.
......
And after the start of this battle, Xu Ting led his army to the area of engagement of the Hun cavalry besieged by the knight troops, which did not take too long. In fact, if Xu Ting let the officers and soldiers under his command advance at a higher speed, he might be able to shorten the time a lot, but under the influence of many circumstances, especially taking into account the physical strength of the officers and soldiers under his command, Xu Ting just let the officers and soldiers under his command go to the combat area at a trotting speed.
And Xu Ting's troops are mainly lightly armed, and they can be regarded as a kind of middle-of-the-center configuration compared with the Tiezha armored heavy infantry of the Great Qin Empire and the ordinary lightly armed officers.
Compared to the hoplites, their armor was paper armor, and the weapons in their hands were the kind of medium-handled glaives, and of course, except for the rather strong personnel in the establishment, the other officers and soldiers were rarely equipped with relatively heavy iron shields.
These strong officers and men are mainly responsible for the shield defense force of the first line of defense. The rest of the infantry mainly used the Glaive with the Medium Handle to fight the enemy.
This method of combat is mainly to use both hands to hold the mid-handled glaive knife to chop or other techniques.
This way of holding the weapon with both hands can be regarded as abandoning the iron shield defense ability of the heavy infantry, and instead strengthening the lethality of the glaive. After all, holding this medium-handled glaive with both hands exerts relatively more power, and this situation also makes this infantry a more suitable existence for hand-to-hand combat.
Compared with the leather infantry in the interior, the defensive capability and weight of this infantry are slightly higher. Because the county soldiers of the Qin army in the interior are rarely equipped with this kind of medium-handled glaive knife that weighs more than 20 catties, but mainly uses various long weapons, such as long beryllium and long pole spear as weapons in their hands.
Zhang Jiashi was well aware of the importance of replacing standard weapons, especially in terms of logistical pressures. The relatively uniform weapon style can effectively reduce some of the pressure on logistics.
However, after so many years of fighting, although the regular army of the Great Qin Empire has increased relatively slowly, the number of such troops has increased to a great extent compared to the auxiliary troops of the regular army. Zhang Jiashi, who encountered such a situation, can be regarded as a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice.
After all, the production capacity of the various military buildings of the Great Qin Empire is placed there, and in such a few years. Zhang Jiashi did not complete the overall refitting of the officers and soldiers of the first combat echelon, let alone the equipment replacement of the second-line county soldier system or even the logistics auxiliary unit.
According to Xiao He. According to the calculations of Cao Shen and Mo Hong and others, Zhang Jiashi really wants to complete the replacement work in this area, and it will take at least five years.
And this data is the data obtained by Zhang Jiashi after he returned to Shuangyueyi for a meeting after defeating Qi and Chu.
Of course, if this situation is used to produce weapons in a very stupid way, it may be possible to complete the idea of replacing some standard weapons for Zhang Jiashi in about two years.
This method is to make the various military buildings of the Great Qin Empire give up the production of other bows and crossbows and even armor, and go all out to produce this medium-handled glaive knife. In this way, the production capacity in this area can naturally be increased very quickly.
But for Zhang Jiashi himself. This is a stupid approach, because an army cannot sweep the world with a single weapon.
The Great Qin Empire's bow and crossbow battle array is indeed a great contribution to the Great Qin Empire's unification of the world, but no one would think that the Great Qin Empire can sweep the world just by relying on the bow and crossbow.
Similarly, Zhang Jiashi would never think that the Great Qin Empire would be able to rely on this kind of medium-handled glaive knife to fight all over the world, on the contrary, if he could take the high-quality route, Zhang Jiashi would not be too "nostalgic" for this rather rough weapon.
If it weren't for the fact that this weapon is in very high demand and very easy to make. Basically, you only need to pour molten iron into the mold, and then take out the cooled blade for corresponding polishing and install the handle, which can be used as a weapon on the battlefield, and Zhang Jiashi really won't waste too much time in this regard.
High-quality weapons are certainly more pleasing to the eye, but Zhang Jiashi does not have so much time to put the weapons that need mass production to meet the needs on the road of refinement. Because this is not only a waste of time, but may even plunge officers and soldiers into a crisis. Such a situation is not what Zhang Jiashi wants to see.
So Zhang Jiashi is now. As far as the situation permits, gradually increase the production efficiency of the Glaive and paper armor to meet the needs of this new type of infantry unit.
......
As a standard weapon, the Glaive Knife with a medium handle is naturally unable to be produced outstream. However, paper armor is different, and the paper workshops opened by Zhang Jiashi and some important ministers of the Great Qin Empire were able to produce paper as a raw material for making paper armor.
According to Zhang Jiashi's thinking, these paper workshops can also carry out preliminary processing of these raw materials while providing raw materials. That is, the armor-shaped square pieces of these paper armors are made into shape, and then transported to the military for subsequent processing.
This line of thinking, after a period of practice, has proven to be a very effective way. Among the several paper armor production in the Great Qin Empire, although the quality of the paper armor produced is uneven, the production capacity has been greatly improved because of the simplification of the steps.
Under the original production method, a group of these soldiers, about 20 paper armor assembly line production technicians can produce about 10 pairs of paper armor a day, and after using this production method, it can be increased to a daily output of more than 15 pairs, so this situation has to be said to be an extremely effective improvement effect.
As for the quality of the paper, Zhang Jiashi is not too lenient on this issue. After the discussion of the corresponding problems, Zhang Jiashi determined a set of incoming material certification system, as far as possible to prevent the production of low-quality paper armor due to raw material problems in the future.
Of course, just in case, Zhang Jiashi ordered the corresponding military production technicians, after a batch of paper armor was produced, according to the raw material source area as the benchmark, to adopt a random selection method to carry out the actual inspection.
Anyway, the armor piece of paper armor can be easily replaced, and the weapon is used to verify the attack. It will not let a pair of paper armor be damaged too much, and only need to replace the destroyed armor piece, which can be provided to officers and soldiers as a new product.
Such a method is not Zhang Jiashi's originality, nor is it a corresponding method cited by Zhang Jiashi from later generations, but the Great Qin Empire itself also has a corresponding foundation, but it is not as systematic as Zhang Jiashi.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
More than 3,000 officers and soldiers under the command of Xu Ting, who were advancing in formation, were covered by a row of shield soldiers in front. Constantly advancing towards the area of engagement.
The knights of the Qin army, who were located in the south of the combat area, knew that their task had been completed for the time being. Or rather. This is a signal for them to leave.
There were constantly low-ranking officers of the Qin army knights commanding their officers and soldiers to leave the battle area after the infantry had approached a certain distance. Because if they stay where they are, it will only hinder the clean-up of the infantry.
And this combat area, because the Huns' riders were constantly killed and wounded and shrunk inward, the Qin officers and soldiers under Xu Ting's command still had work to do. That is, in such a situation, on the periphery of the battlefield strewn with corpses, the dead and wounded officers and soldiers of the two sides were treated differently.
For the wounded of the Huns, the front row of these Qin infantry troops would directly stab the glaive knife in their hands into the opponent's body. Because for these Qin officers and soldiers. Xu Ting explicitly ordered that they did not need to capture these Huns.
Many of the Hun riders who were not completely dead lay on the ground groaning or pretending to be dead, and what awaited them was cold, stabbing the tip of the knife into their bodies from their chests or abdomen.
Some of the lightly wounded Huns saw this situation and tried to resist, but before they could really act, they would be shot into hedgehogs by the arrows fired by the crossbow infantry of the Qin army behind some sword and shield men.
This hand crossbow is capable of firing five shots in bursts. It is a small repeater with a range of no more than 30 meters.
This kind of repeater did not play much effect on the battlefield of the Central Plains, because in the face of the rebels with many excellent long-range weapons, the range of this kind of repeater was easily suppressed by the opponent's strong crossbow or even strong bow.
Of course, the Qin army equipped with this kind of crossbow is generally the commander or commander of the Qin army. Because Zhang Jiashi is also very jealous of the burst power of this kind of crossbow, although the range is indeed a bit of a cheat. But it is undeniable that a person will be a little panicked in the face of a dozen people holding such a repeater. After all, shooting more than fifty arrows at once is no fun thing.
And this kind of hand crossbow can be used in such a situation.
These low-ranking officers of the Qin army in the front row, armed with this kind of crossbow, were configured to avoid encountering sudden pick-ups from the enemy in this environment.
If a Qin army commander or even a commander is equipped with this kind of continuous archer crossbow, they must be equipped with a scimitar or a long sword as auxiliary equipment.
But in this case. They are often not required to draw their weapons for melee combat, but rather the sword and shield soldiers in front of them, as well as the ordinary infantry, will use their weapons to deal with the enemy in front of them.
The crossbows in their hands will be most effective in the face of large-scale enemy onslaught and the enemy's lack of ranged troops.
......
Another thing that these Qin officers and soldiers needed to do was to rescue the seriously wounded of their knights from the battlefield.
In fact, the battle reached such a point that less than half of the personnel, whether it was the seriously wounded knights of the Qin army or the wounded soldiers of the Huns, could be delayed for such a time.
In other words, most of the seriously wounded and a few lightly wounded who were quite unlucky lost their breath of life forever before the arrival of these Qin officers and soldiers.
In such a situation, there are not many robes that these Qin officers and soldiers can save. Because most of the lightly wounded, with the help of other knights, sit on the mounts of these knights, and the two of them continue to fight.
If they are seriously wounded, they will wait for the rescue of the follow-up infantry units.
But the situation on the battlefield is not what a seriously wounded person can do. In such a situation, there were very few seriously injured knights that the officers and soldiers under Xu Ting's command could rescue.
More often than not, there are knights who are slightly injured, or have their thighs down, or their mounts that are too badly injured to get up and are unable to move because they hold down their thighs.
These people often have crushed thighs or even comminuted fractures of their thigh bones, but in any case, these injuries have a higher chance of survival than those who have been seriously injured.
Although your research on penicillin still hasn't made much progress, in terms of the current development of the military medical system in the Great Qin Empire, in the past few years of war, because of Zhang Jiashi's emphasis on the development of the military medical system, more than 30,000 wounded lives have been saved.
Although many of these wounded are unable to continue their service because of their disabilities, it is undeniable that this military medical system has played a decisive role in saving the lives of these personnel who may have lost their lives.
Of course, medicine can only save the dead, and for those seriously injured who are ineffective, it can only be regarded as their fate......
......
In Zhang Jiashi's summary of the war in the past few years, the officers and soldiers who were seriously injured and killed because of the battle made him have to pay attention to one issue, that is, he really neglected the aspect of emergency management.
There were many Qin officers and soldiers who died in battle, and many died because of the lack of effective emergency management. After thinking about this problem, Zhang Jiashi had to come up with a solution.
Let the accompanying military doctor give first aid on the battlefield, such a situation Zhang Jiashi did not think about it, but after thinking of this, he directly gave up this idea.
The situation on the battlefield is very complicated, no one can make these military doctors absolutely safe, and it is a waste of manpower to have a special escort on the battlefield.
And more importantly, a military doctor is a very precious existence, if it is because of these military doctors who died a large number on the battlefield, Zhang Jiashi himself could not imagine how terrible such a situation is.
However, it is indeed not feasible to let military doctors go to the battlefield, and if you think about it the other way, it should be no problem for some officers and soldiers to learn how to bandage and deal with emergencies.
After the Second Crusade, Zhang Jiashi asked the Imperial Physician of the Great Qin Empire to recruit people from the Guanzhong region to take on this role.
In the Third Crusade, such personnel were mainly deployed in the Central Army. And Zhang Jiashi knows one thing very well, that is, the existence of this kind of auxiliary force can improve the survival rate of soldiers in a unit to a certain extent.
Many people see this advantage and hope that Zhang Jiashi will be able to add these personnel to their troops.
Zhang Jiashi wants to do this, and even give it to a few more people.
It's a pity that Zhang Jiashi discovered the existence of such an auxiliary class......
It's still a problem, and that's not enough people...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
