Chapter 64: Five Barracks

The Great Bow of Jiannu was much longer and heavier than the Mongol Horn Bow.

The length of the Jiannu bow can even reach 1.8 meters, the pulling force is more than 100 catties, and the length of the heavy arrow used is more than 1 meter, which is enough to shoot through the straight body armor within thirty steps.

This is especially true for chain mail, cotton armor and cloth face armor.

Jiannu's philosophy of using bows and arrows is also different from that of other barbarians, they almost never use the tactic of long-range projectiles, and basically shoot accurately at close range, so they only carry heavy arrows.

However, with such a long and heavy bow and arrow, it is really impossible to control it if you are not tall enough.

The Jurchens originated between the White Mountains and the Black Mountains, and were taller than the Mongols, so they could control such big bows and arrows, let alone long men like Ao Bai and Yabulan.

As soon as Ao Bai came on the field, the eight banner soldiers with yellow flags cheered one after another.

"Baturu! Baturu! Baturu! The cheer was like bursting people's eardrums.

In the 17th century, all kinds of firearms gradually replaced cold weapons as the mainstream of the battlefield, and the influence of individual martial arts on the victory or defeat of a war was minimal.

Jiannu has also been equipped with a large number of firearms,

But the cult of warriors is still preserved.

Ao Bai raised his bow in a gesture, and the cheers came to an abrupt end.

Ao Bai is not only Baturu, but also Baya Laxu Zhangjing, who is inlaid with a yellow flag, and the commander of the guard.

After a while, Yabran also rode his family's war horse into the fence, and Jiannu went up to the banner lord Baylor and down to the banner, and the weapons and equipment and armor were all prepared by himself.

This is actually a model with the government soldiers in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

This model can stimulate a nation's belligerent factor to the greatest extent and become martial.

This stems from the simplest truth that the braver a warrior is, the greater the chance of success, the more money he will be rewarded, the more women he will marry, and the better life he will have.

On the other hand, the more cowardly a warrior is, the more difficult it is to obtain exploits and rewards.

Then not only will they be despised by their neighbors, but they will also be extinct because they can't marry a daughter-in-law.

Because of the government military system, the Tang Dynasty created the most powerful dynasty in the history of China for 2,000 years, and the Eight Banners entered the Central Plains with a population of less than 200,000.

However, even the best model has its flaws.

Problems arise when the advantages are not enough to compensate for the shortcomings.

The government soldiers were defeated by the Juntian system, and the Eight Banners of Jiannu were defeated by the horse race.

Getting back to business, after Yabran came on the field, Ao bowed and said, "Move the arrow target fifty steps away, no comment, right?" ”

"Fifty steps?" There was an exclamation all around them, which was nearly twice the distance of the usual training.

The humanoid arrow target used by Jiannu in daily training is generally at 30 steps, and the assessment of Qiding's promotion to infantry armor is also to shoot a humanoid arrow target 30 steps away in the galloping of a horse, and six out of ten shots are considered qualified.

Now that Ao Bai has increased the distance of the target to fifty paces, the difficulty will increase dramatically.

"No comment." Yabran was even more excited, and his face was eager to try.

Ao Bai stopped talking nonsense, first rode his horse to the opposite side of the fence, and then turned back.

At this time, several vests inlaid with yellow flags had already moved the ten human-shaped arrow targets to fifty paces away.

When the war horse accelerated to a speed close to sprinting, and also arrived at the first arrow target, I saw Aobai's body leaning slightly to the right, and the arrow with the bow was an arrow, which hit the center of the humanoid arrow target.

Seeing this, the onlookers of the Eight Banners cheered: "Baturu! ”

In less than a moment, Ao Bai shot nine more arrows in the rush, and the arrows hit the target.

The last heavy arrow, Aobai, obviously used all his strength to shoot through the target.

"Barutu! Baturu! Baturu! "The Eight Banners with yellow flags are about to go crazy.

Ao Bai rode his horse out fifty paces before slowly pulling back, but his face was not red and he was not panting.

"Yabulan, it's your turn." Ao Bai said expressionlessly, "Don't let everyone down." ”

"Don't worry, it won't." Jabran did not have the slightest fear, and also rode to the other side of the fence.

Urging the horse to start, first to jog, then to run, and finally to sprint, and when it was too late, Jabran also swooped an arrow at the first humanoid target, and hit the chest steadily.

Eight arrows in the back, Yabran also hit steadily.

Just when everyone thought that Yabran's tenth arrow would also hit steadily, Yabran suddenly leaned back and made an unexpected move.

Jabran pulled the bow away from his back.

"Wow!" There was an exclamation on the railing.

Ao Bai's pupils shrank slightly, this guy!

This bow is a Jurchen big bow, and it is difficult to pull it normally.

Yabran this guy actually put it on his back and pulled it backhand, which requires a lot of strength.

"Whoosh!" In the midst of an exclamation, Yabran's tenth heavy arrow also hit the target steadily, and the arrow almost pierced through the target, leaving only the feathers at the end of the arrow swaying slightly in the wind.

"Good!" Bai Yintu and other nobles couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Ao Bai also bowed slightly, in terms of riding and archery alone, it seems that Yabran may have surpassed him, but it is not enough to be the first warrior in Manchuria.

"Knives!" Ao Baiyi stretched out his hand and shouted.

The coat next to him immediately presented a sharp chopping knife.

Ao Baidang slapped a horsewhip on Bao Yi's face, and scolded: "Fool, blunt knife." ”

Bao Yi covered his face and screamed, and hurriedly handed another chopping knife that did not open to Aobai.

After a while, Yabran came to the fence again, and saw Ao Bai holding a horse chopping knife that did not open the blade, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked, "How do you use a blunt knife?" ”

Ao Bai said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, come on." ”

"Be careful, sir!" Jabran took an arrow step, and then slashed diagonally.

The horse shooting comparison just now, this time the comparison is foot combat, and it is also the main battle method of the Jurchens.

Yabran used the most unpretentious oblique slash style, and for the warriors on the battlefield, it was not about the moves at all, but only about the speed of reaction, strength and combat experience.

The ones who can be selected for the white armor soldiers are all warriors who are one in a thousand.

These warriors are top-notch in terms of reaction speed and strength, and even if there is a gap, it will not be too big.

Yabulan's reaction speed and strength are not inferior to Aobai, but his combat experience is far worse than Aobai, after all, Aobai is more than ten years older than Yabran, and has more than ten years of experience!

So as soon as Yabulan's body moved, Ao Bai had already predicted his next move.

So a strange scene appeared, Ao Bai only turned sideways and raised the knife again, the blunt knife that had not been opened was already on Yablan's neck, and the whole process of fighting, it looked as if Ao Bai didn't move at all, it was Yabran himself who hit Aobai's blade with an arrow, and the picture was instantly frozen.

Yabran froze in place for a moment.

If this was a real battlefield, Yabran would have been in a different place at this time.

The throat guard of the bowl can't stop the saber at all!

Yablan's face turned red instantly, and he stared at Ao Bai in disbelief, is the gap between the two really so big? He really can't even take a knife from Aobai?

Ao Bai put away his sword and stepped back, saying, "Yabulan, you are defeated. ”

"Yes, I'm defeated." Jabran's head drooped.

"Don't be discouraged, boy, you're a good age."

Ao Bai patted Yabran on the shoulder and said, "Come to my account." ”

"What do you mean, can I still join the Baga Lama?"

"Yes, you're a Bayala now." Ao Bai said happily.

Hearing this, the surrounding Eight Banners cheered: "Yabulan, Yabulan ......"

Yabran's face instantly flushed, and he finally became the Ba Yala of his dreams.

……

in Xuzhou.

Kim Hyun is training with 3,000 family members.

Oh no, after Hu Xinshui took away more than 300 riders, there were only more than 2,700 riders left.

More than 2,700 Ding, as well as 1,000 Yiding, were all made into cavalry by Chongzhen, and in order to equip these more than 3,700 people with war horses, Chongzhen did not even let go of Huang Degong's own mount.

Huang Degong went north this time on foot with the officers and men.

On the school field, Kim Hyun rode his horse like a fly, and fired ten arrows in a row in a very short time.

Hearing the sound of a tuk tuk, all ten heavy arrows hit the human-shaped target fifty paces away, and the more than 2,000 riders lined up on one side applauded.

I really didn't see it.

This civil official is actually a master of mounted archery.

Before riding his horse back home, Kim Hyun casually threw the bow to his servants.

"It's not just the Yi people who can ride and shoot, we Huaxia people can do the same, and they are more exquisite!"

"The Chinese people are the best at learning, as long as we want to do it, we will do better than any race!"

Kim Hyun's voice sounded a little muffled, but it was extremely penetrating, at least the first few rows of family members could hear it clearly, and the family members in the back could only listen to the relay of their companions in front.

"But what I want to tell you today is,"

"Mounted archery is outdated, and now it's the world of firearms."

"Qi Shaobao once said that the key to using soldiers lies in eight words."

"Sufficient food and wages, guns and guns are pasted faces, and guns and guns are talking about firearms!"

"Therefore, our five military camps must not only practice mounted archery, horse fighting, and foot combat, but also practice firearms!"

The Jingshi had fallen, and the three battalions of the Beijing camp had been wiped out, but Chongzhen decided to rebuild the new three battalions.

The more than 2,700 Ding under Jin Xuan's command are the seeds carefully selected by Chongzhen for the five military camps, and the one thousand Yi Ding are the seeds selected by Chongzhen for the three thousand battalions.

Only the Shenji Battalion has not yet landed.

"No matter how brave an individual is, he is flesh and blood after all, and his flesh and blood will never be able to stop the gunfire, no matter how strong your martial arts are, the tiger will still be beaten into flesh with a single shot."

"No matter how hard you ride and shoot, the lethality is not as good as that of a bird."

Speaking of this, Kim Hyun motioned to Hu Cong to bring a Lumi gun.

Charge, load, light the arquebus, and shoot at the target fifty paces away.

Then let Hu Cong take the arrow target, and show it to the family on horseback, only to see that there is a big hole in the middle of the arrow target, which is indeed much more lethal than the arrow.
