Chapter 131 is comparable to the Guanning Iron Horse
"Give me a bow, give me a horse!"
The fourth said very confidently, after hearing this, a soldier led a horse, this horse is the most uncooperative of the group of horses, the most wild, and the bow is more difficult, but at this moment Li Debao came over and gave the compound bow in his hand to the fourth child: "Use mine." ”
At the same time, another soldier had already set up an arrow target on his horse, one on the left and one on the left, fifty meters away.
At this time, the fourth jumped on the horse, worthy of being a perennial horseman, just this time, I saw the difference between him and others, very light, at this time the fourth took the compound bow and said to Li Debao: "Thank you." ”
Then he said to another soldier: "Trouble brother, help me get a quiver." ”
Saying that, the fourth child directly took out two arrows from the quiver, one in his mouth, and the other on the bowstring, at this time the fourth child patted the horse's ass and said, "Drive!" ”
Just a moment, the horse ran, and then the fourth child sat on the horse's back, clamped the horse's body with his legs, and then his body rose and fell with the ups and downs of the horse as he ran, so that he did the same frequency as the horse.
In this way, he and the horse are not in a state of confrontation, but an interdependent transformation, so that the people and horses work together, and the forces are in one place, almost reaching the legendary state of unity between men and horses.
At this time, the horse was galloping rapidly, and at this time, the fourth child directly bent his bow and shot at a target fifty meters away, and hit the bull's-eye with a snap, and there was still strength left.
"Good bow!"
The fourth said with some excitement, this compound bow is powerful, and it doesn't take much effort to shoot fifty steps, and then the fourth brother shouted to the soldiers guarding near the target: "Take it far." ”
When the soldier heard this, he immediately took the target to a distance of seventy paces, which was already the limit of an ordinary bow and arrow, but at this time, the fourth child took the bow and arrow in his mouth, followed by the bow and arrow, and shot the bull's-eye again with a snap.
"Good archery!"
Li Debao couldn't help but praise him, he and Li Dezhen were the first in archery in the entire barracks, but they still had some difficulties in letting them shoot so accurately on horses.
And what was even more surprising was the soldier who was still a little dissatisfied just now, good fellow, this horse seems to have spirituality, why didn't he fall off with such a bow?
They have personally tried the difficulty of leaving their hands on the back of the bare horse, not to mention shooting the target, it is difficult to shoot the bow left and right, you look at the people, the ass seems to grow on the horse, so that you can't accept it, good riding, good archery!
"Farther away, a hundred steps, not a hundred and twenty steps!"
The fourth child seemed to be addicted to playing, and then he shouted, followed by the soldier with the quiver, and then rode to the soldier with the quiver, stretched out his hand and drew two bows and arrows, and at this time the soldier who placed the target had reached one hundred and twenty steps, about a hundred meters away, and placed the target.
At this time, the fourth child aimed at the target, bent the bow and set up the arrow, and shot the target again with a snap, but it was not in the bull's-eye, it seems that the distance of one hundred and twenty steps is a little reluctant, but the fourth child was shocked by this bow, this bow shot a distance of one hundred and twenty steps is still easy, so what is the limit of this bow?
The fourth thought about the last arrow, and the fourth drew the bowstring directly to the empty forest in the distance, and then the fourth found that even if the bowstring was full, it would not take much effort, it was really a treasure bow.
Shout......
An arrow was fired, and the next moment it flew directly out of two hundred steps, and with a snap, the bow and arrow pierced a tree, and it was three points into the wood.
The effective range of this compound bow is between one hundred and fifty meters and two hundred meters, which is already very good in a group of bows and arrows, but this compound bow is not the most powerful compound bow, the most powerful compound bow is equipped with a scope, and the structure is complex, it is said that an arrow can shoot four or five hundred meters, it can be said that it is a sniper rifle in the bow.
However, that kind of bow is very expensive, one is tens of thousands, and it is not suitable for large-scale coverage of the army, after all, at this price, if the number of people is not good, Li Chaosheng will go bankrupt, but Li Chaosheng is still ready to have the opportunity to get a few, even if it is for the benefits of these commanders, such as Li Dezhen, Li Debao, who is better at shooting, and Li Chaohu.
Li Chaosheng thought that at this time, the fourth child had already come off the horse, and followed him to Li Chaosheng with blazing eyes.
"Battalion commander! This, bow, this bow, you must find a way to distribute one to each of our cavalry, and with this, the combat effectiveness of our cavalry can at least double, no, double it. ”
The fourth is very excited, this kind of long-range bow and arrow is simply a magic weapon for their cavalry, cavalry cavalry can kite infantry, but there is no advantage over other cavalry, then you can only fight who shoots the arrow accurately, who shoots first These factors, but if it is equipped with this kind of bow, the range is almost twice that of ordinary bows and arrows.
Think about what kind of scenario this is, that not only can we kite infantry, but we can also kite cavalry, two groups of cavalry meet, and one starts shooting at 150 meters, and you can hit the other side, and then the other has to shoot within 80 meters of the effective range.
What about the distance of seventy or eighty meters in between? They need to ride their horses closer, but don't forget that we are also cavalry, if you urge the horses to approach, we will retreat, distance ourselves from you, and then shoot you, you run, we will chase you, and shoot you back.
If this is in the case of the same number of people, it is a massacre, in the case of a slightly less number of people than the other party, it is called crushing, in the case of an absolute disadvantage in numbers, it may be a miserable victory, or it may be an escape, unless it is ambushed, otherwise it will not be crushed by the opponent's cavalry.
It can be said that this bow is equipped in the cavalry, and the power is absolutely beyond imagination, Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Okay, you cavalry have one each." ”
Hearing this, the fourth grinned and said, "Battalion Commander Xie, I promise to bring out the most powerful cavalry to the battalion commander!" ”
Hearing this, Li Chaosheng patted the fourth child on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I believe in you." ’
The two of them said, at this time, the rest of the cavalry who were not selected were also convinced, and the fourth child conquered them with his superb archery skills, which did not need to be saddled to ride a horse, and he could also shoot the bow left and right, which really shocked everyone, including Li Chaosheng.
People like Lao Si, even in ancient times, can be called skilled in archery and horses, and can be generals.
For example, in the Qin Dynasty, the cavalry did not have stirrups and saddles, and the cavalry at that time rode on bare horses, and then fought with people, so the requirements are very high, and the basic ones who can do it can be generals, at least a centurion, or a thousand-commander.
So at that time, chariots were used for war, and it was allowed to sit on the chariot to fight, and later stirrups and saddles were popularized, and the flexibility of this chariot was too poor, so it was slowly canceled, and cavalry appeared.
Therefore, a technique like Lao Si can also be a general in the Qin Dynasty, and the so-called bow horse is skilled, but that's it.
The fourth, Li Chaosheng admired it very much, so after the first selection, according to the fourth child, 13 people remained, as for the gap, Li Chaosheng thought about it and decided to discuss it with Li Chaolong, conscription!
Li Chaosheng and the fourth and Li Chaolong and the third Li Chaofeng entered the conference room, in the conference room, Li Chaosheng said with a wry smile: "Among my more than 100 elite soldiers, only thirteen people who can be used have been selected, the fourth, you are too strict in selecting soldiers, right?" ”
Li Chaosheng said, the fourth child heard this and said: "Battalion commander, in fact, the cavalry I selected is indeed stricter, this selection method is the method of selecting elite cavalry in the army, if you follow the most common method of selecting cavalry, in fact, those twenty-one people are qualified, and even some of the first round of elimination have many qualified, but we only have thirty horses now, and if we want to form a group of elite cavalry that fights and screams." ”
Li Chaosheng heard this and looked at the fourth child and said, "How loud is it?" ”
The fourth child heard this and said: "When you encounter the same number of Guanning iron cavalry or Tatar elite cavalry, you will not fall behind, if you are equipped with the kind of bow and arrow I use today, you can even win it, and annihilate it~"
Guanning Iron Cavalry, one of the few troops that could fight a tough battle at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with a total number of 30,000 troops, was formed by the famous general Sun Chengzong of the Ming Dynasty, and was later taken over by Wu Sangui, which was the biggest trump card in the hands of Wu Sangui.
The Guanning Iron Cavalry can be said to be a legend, galloping across the field for decades, from Liaodong to Beijing, from Beijing to Qinshu, from Qinshu to Yunnan, from Yunnan to Myanmar, and then from Myanmar to turn around and return to Yunnan, to Beijing to kill.
In the past few decades, this cavalry has killed the Mongolian prince, defeated the Eight Banners Protector, assassinated Dorgon, pursued and killed Li Zicheng, pursued Zhang Xianzhong, and even before Wu Sangui died, the Qing court fought these clan relatives who thought they were winning the world, Kangxi once ordered that the Eight Banners cavalry and the Guanning Iron Cavalry were forbidden to conduct field battles, which can be seen the horror of this army.
Almost all the hard battles have been fought, but here to correct it, the Guanning Iron Cavalry is not a pure cavalry, but a mixed infantry cavalry, so although it is said to be 30,000 people, there are a lot of infantry, because according to the selection method of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, it is too difficult to form a 30,000-person pure cavalry.
But even so, this army is also a few feared by the Qing people, no, it is a fearful army, Yang Sichang once said in a book: Liaodong Zhubu, only I Guanning, Shima, a little into a brigade, listen to the tune, and respond to emergencies. “
It means that in the entire Liaodong, he will see that the Guanning Iron Cavalry can be used, obey the order, and can respond to emergencies at will, where the danger goes.
Li Chaosheng listened to the words of the fourth child, and thought to himself, with the same number and equipped with compound bows, the Guanning Iron Cavalry can also win, isn't this a special cavalry?
After thinking about it, Li Chaosheng felt that the cavalry selected by this standard was really enough to meet the requirements of special cavalry.
The fourth said proudly: "Battalion commander, it's not that I boast, the cavalry selected according to my requirements has been trained, and each of them can have the same riding skills and archery skills as me, not to blow with you, in Lantian County, our horse thief gang, with five people, dare to shout with those four or five hundred people, and fight for nothing else, that is, our riding skills and archery." ”
The fourth said, there was a trace of pride on his face, Li Chaosheng was also a little convinced at this time, everyone knows about the Horse Thief Gang, and its influence in Lantian is also unprecedented, five people can make the Black Dragon Village jealous, and dare not easily deal with evil, if it weren't for the death of the leopard, which angered the Panshan Dragon, the Panshan Dragon would not have made up his mind to exterminate the Horse Thief Gang.
And in the process, disgraceful means were also used, such as ambushing the horse thief gang, which is also no way, if you don't ambush and try to get the horse thief gang people off the horse, this battle will not be fought at all, and the people of the horse thief gang can kite the dead people and horses of the Black Dragon Village.
Li Chaosheng was a little excited at this time, if he had a thirty-man cavalry in his hand, each like the fourth brother, then he would be awesome, and he would be able to kill the other party in a field battle.
Amazing, too powerful, Li Chaosheng thought, then looked at the fourth and said: "Yes, your cultivation strategy is very right, what we want is elite cavalry, but now we only select thirteen people, and there is still a gap of 15 people." ”
That's right, there are still fifteen people missing, why, because among these thirty horses, there are still four and three children each.
After hearing this, the fourth and third looked at each other, and then they didn't speak, it's none of our business if there are not enough people.
Li Chaosheng thought, followed by Li Chaolong who looked at the side and said, "Company Commander, I want to promote you to an officer." ”
Li Chaolong heard this and said, "Battalion commander, you want to be promoted." ”
Li Chaolong said, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Almost, I am going to expand the first company of our security army into the first battalion of the security army, and the number is tentatively set at three hundred, so I am afraid that we will have to recruit nearly two hundred recruits." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaolong frowned slightly and said: "Battalion commander, I'm afraid our Li family won't be able to get out of two hundred young people, and there will be a hundred people at most, and if there are more, there will be no one to plant crops in the field." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaosheng frowned slightly, indeed, if there are two hundred more people, there are really not enough people in the old Li family, there are only more than 1,000 people in the Li family, if there are three hundred soldiers, that is, one of the three will be drawn, but there are old people, women, and children among these three people, these cannot be soldiers, if these people are really pulled out, then the Li family will not be strong.
What will happen to the crops when the time comes? encountered a vicious battle, and all the people died, wouldn't the Li family be greatly injured, and Li Chaolong did not agree to spend all the Li family's heritage in order to become an army.
Li Chaosheng frowned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "What the company commander said makes sense, but the soldiers must still be recruited, so the recruitment restrictions will be expanded, except for the people of the Li family, people with other surnames can participate, such as the Wang family, their number is about the same as ours, they should not be difficult to send a hundred soldiers." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "This is okay, besides, our security army protects the entire Tanggou Town, their Wang family can't just look at it and not show it, okay, this trick is okay." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "That's it, spread the news, the security army recruits, including the entire Tanggou Town, and the treatment is the same as that of the old members, taking care of food and housing, and each person will be given one hundred and twenty catties of food per month." ”
"Yes, I'll do it!" Li Chaolong responded.
