I saw an arrow fly out from behind the Kumamoto army, and with a snort, it pierced into the chest of a Yamato sergeant, and a bewitching-looking blood flower bloomed.

Takeuchi hurriedly shouted, "Be careful, disperse quickly!" "For example, the rain of arrows in the May rainstorm was a symbolic blow to the Beifu army before the war, and this kind of blow always caused heavy losses and demoralization of the incomplete Yamato sergeants, and as a result, the subsequent battles became more and more unbeatable.

With the shouts of Takeuchi Suyou, the Yamato sergeants raised the wooden planks in their hands, pot lids and other things one after another, only to hear a crackling sound and a scream, and hundreds of Yamato sergeants fell to the ground with arrows, covering their wounds and screaming. Takeuchi Suyou's cold gaze swept back and forth on the messy battlefield, his heart no longer had the hesitation and panic he had before, and now his heart only had sadness and numbness.

At this time, a squeaky sound sounded behind Takeuchi Suyou, and Takeuchi Suyou knew very well in his heart that this was his own bamboo bow that was starting to fight back. But he also understood that his own bamboo bow was more like a foil to the opponent's bow and strength, and those weak arrows fell down in the middle of the two formations, and they didn't even touch the feet of the opponent's Kumamoto vanguard.

The rain of arrows flew five times, and the Yamato sergeant was brought down by hundreds. Takeuchi suki gritted his teeth and persisted, because he knew that after these five rounds of arrow rain, it was time for the Kumamoto and Tosa infantry to start charging. Takeuchi had worked hard to get a standard strong bow from Beifu, which was a powerful weapon that could shoot the enemy at a distance of 200 meters, but it also required more strength, and the archers of Beifu usually stopped shooting after five shots, because they had to save their strength to play a role in the continuation of the war.

Yao Chen watched his archer shoot five rounds in one breath with his bow and arrows, and nodded with great satisfaction.

It has been more than 20 years since the opening of Beifu, and the "weapons development" presided over by Zeng Hua has been around for nearly 30 years. After several developments, the standard equipment of the Beifu army has also transitioned from a longbow to a composite strong bow. The longbow has now entered every household in Beifu, and archery has become a daily training that every Beifu male has learned since he was a beginner, and it has also become an art that everyone in Beifu is good at. And for the other art - riding is not going very well.

Because Jiang You now controls the most extensive pasture in history. There are countless cattle, sheep and horses, so the general cultivated land is also mostly used with horses, and the daily travel of the people is mostly "luxury" to use horses as a means of transportation. But this is just being able to ride a horse, and it is really necessary to achieve the unity of man and horse, and the riding and shooting are unparalleled. Without a few generations of inheritance, it is impossible to reach the level of the people of Heshuo.

When the longbow was popularized among the people of Beifu and became their daily training equipment, the standard bow of the Beifu army became a compound bow, and the divine arm crossbow was also greatly improved. Zeng Hua is also a member of the youth archery team of the Xinjiang Construction Corps who has won arrows in another world, and he is very familiar with the history, types and production of bows and crossbows.

When Zeng Hua was in the archery team, he once knew from foreign sources that the pulling force of the steel crossbow was 11 times that of the longbow, as high as 336 kilograms. But when firing an arrow of thirty-five grams. The initial velocity is similar to that of a 76-gram arrow fired by a longbow, and the velocity is about 40 m/s. This is because the energy storage of steel is too low. It is only a fraction of the yew wood, the distance is too short, and the bow arm is too heavy. The efficiency is much lower than that of the longbow, and the bow arm is too short, which directly limits the string speed and arrow speed, resulting in the steel crossbow although the pull force is large, but the power of firing ground arrows is not great. So Zeng Hua improved the Divine Arm Crossbow. Tuomu and elm, which have good energy storage, are used as materials. Then it is accompanied by horns, tendons, and fish maw glue, and finally twisted into a hard wire with silk as a bowstring. In addition, the bow arm, chord spacing, and pulley are reasonably designed, which makes this kind of open-footed divine arm crossbow more powerful and shoots farther.

However, the weapon of the Divine Arm Crossbow is only equipped with some stormtroopers in the box army and the navy, and the government soldiers are now all equipped with a new type of composite strong bow. This kind of compound strong bow is made of recurved compound bows based on tuomu, horns, etc., plus the bowstring of silk, which is much more powerful than the longbow.

According to the information that Zeng Hua saw in the other world, under the same pulling force, this pulling force is basically the same as the longbow above, but it is indeed much more powerful and efficient than the longbow, under the same pulling force, with the same seventy grams of ground arrows, the compound bow shoots out of the ground with an initial velocity of fifty meters per second, while the longbow is only forty-one meters per second, and the power of the compound bow is forty and a half times higher than that of the longbow. For the same 34-gram arrow, the initial velocity of the composite bow reached 57 m/s, which was even 1.8 times higher than the 42 m/s obtained by the aforementioned 336-kilogram steel crossbow. Therefore, Zeng Hua vigorously developed this recurve compound bow, and made this compound bow the standard strong bow in Beifu. However, this kind of recurve composite strong bow can only be reproduced by the Beifu Workshop, and the rest of the places can't imitate this bow even if they get it.

Zeng Hua gave a good lesson to the professors and students of the bow and crossbow department at Mozi Academy, and let these craftsmen and scholars understand that the bow and crossbow itself cannot create energy, and the bow and crossbow only play a role in transferring energy. When a compound bow or crossbow is opened, the bow arm will bend inward, that is, the force of the bow is transferred to the bow arm, and the deformation of the bow arm is to transform the "dynamic force" of the bow into the "static force" of the bow arm deformation. When we release the bowstring, the potential energy stored in the bow arm is transferred to the arrow through the displacement of the bowstring, which is converted into the propulsive force of the arrow as it flies. This is how the transfer of power is done.

Zeng Hua told these craftsmen and scholars that an important factor in choosing a bow or crossbow is to see whether the bow has "strength", which is actually the ability of the bow arm to store and release power. There are two main meanings, one is how much power the bow arm can store, and the other is how much power can be effectively transmitted to the arrow through the bowstring. Zeng Hua proposed several important index parameters to the craftsmen and scholars to measure the bow and crossbow, such as arm distance, chord distance, tensile force, elongation and labor-saving ratio.

According to these theories put forward by Zeng Hua, the Beifu Mozi Academy and the Bow and Crossbow Workshop determined the arm distance of the horn bow used by the cavalry at 0.75 meters, and the chord distance was determined at 0.16 meters. The arm distance of the infantry bow is determined at 0.9 meters, and the chord distance is determined at 0.13 meters, which ensures both the range and accuracy. In addition, Beifu also made a kind of sharpshooter bow specially used for "piercing Yang hands". A set of pulleys was added on the basis of the recurve bow, and the wheelbase was nailed at 0.95 meters, and the chord distance was set at 0.15 meters, which not only guaranteed range, but also due to the pulleys and effects. Shooters can draw and hold their bows with less effort, allowing them to spend more energy on improving their accuracy.

More than a dozen Yang hands stood on Yao Chen's left, the cold look on their faces made Yao Chen's heart broken, these cattle men had just shot dozens of noble-looking Yamato sergeants, it was really one arrow, and it was not wasted at all. There are only a few of his nearly 1,000 archers, all of whom are treasures, and they are fighting naval battles. These hands stood on the tall buildings of the battleship. Looking down on the entire battle situation, it is comparable to bed crossbows and ballistas.

It's been five rounds of cumming. But Yao Chen didn't give the order to stop, he was going to break through the Yamato army formation in one go today, so he planned to let the archers shoot ten rounds. Let the Yamato army take a good bath of arrows, try to demolish the morale of the Yamato sergeants and break up their formation.

Under the surprise of Takeuchi Su, the archers of Beifu actually shot ten rounds of arrow rain, and the front line of more than 10,000 Yamato sergeants had been shot to pieces, because the ten rounds of arrow rain were concentrated here. Sergeant Yamato, who was only clad in "bamboo and wooden armor", could not stop the arrows of the iron-tipped wooden pole from shooting into their flesh. And the wooden planks and other things in his hands can't stop the baptism of arrows one after another.

After ten rounds of shooting, Yao Chen raised his hand. The archers immediately stopped shooting. He turned around and shouted to the commander: "Blow the trumpet and tell the vanguard to attack!" ”

With the sound of a low horn, the six thousand Kumamoto soldiers and Tosa soldiers lined up in six rows drew their long swords, let out a roaring cry, and then slowly walked forward under the command of the officer next to them.

Takeuchi Suki looked at these Kumamoto soldiers and Tosa soldiers who rushed over with great momentum, looked at the light armor on their bodies, looked at the Beifu steel sword in their hands, and watched them rush towards blood and killing with excitement with a thirst for victory and bloodlust, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. For many years in the past, the wild people of Kumamoto and Tosa were the largest source of slaves in Yamato, Kii, and Kibi provinces. In front of the sergeants of the Yamato and Kii countries, these backward savages were almost vulnerable except for being fierce. Now it was completely different, these fierce and murderous savages were quickly conquered by the hateful Beifu people with steel knives, grain and yin-yang fish, and then they were armed and became accomplices of the Beifu land. Wielding steel swords, they chased and killed the Yamato and Kii people everywhere, exchanging their heads for a little charity from the people of Beifu. In the past, their methods were still very clumsy, but after paying a great price, they were gradually trained by Beifu and became a sharp weapon for killing.

The heads of millions of Yamato, Kii and Kibi people were exchanged for the increasingly "happy" life of these Kumamoto and Tosa people, and they were more enthusiastic about this plan to make a fortune, and devoted themselves to the war against the Yamato and Kii people with greater enthusiasm. Under the attack of the fierce and fearless Kumamoto and Tosa soldiers, Kii Province was destroyed, and now even Yamato Province is dying, but Takeuchi Suyou, also knows that if the people of Hokufu attack themselves with all their strength, maybe Yamato Province will be destroyed long ago, because he still remembers the feeling that life is worse than death when he fought with the Hokufu soldiers, and it is the same as the unhindered navy of Hokufu, it is the eternal nightmare of Takeuchi Suyou.

Just as Takeuchi was thinking about it, six thousand Kumamoto and Tosa soldiers had already rushed into the Yamato army formation with a roar and started a fierce battle. As soon as the two armies engaged, the demoralized Yamato sergeants were a little unbearable, especially the Kumamoto soldiers, who were extremely fierce and fierce in battle, and they were like a sharp knife that stabbed directly into the Yamato army formation. Takeuchi Suyu gave orders again and again, dispatching and commanding according to the changes in the battlefield, trying to reverse the trend. But Takeuchi Suyou felt very difficult, after several years of brutal war, the nobles and generals of Yamato and Kii were almost lost, and now there are few effective generals and officers under Takeuchi Suyou, so commanding an army of more than 10,000 people makes Takeuchi Suyou feel too difficult.

In the past half an hour, the central wing of the Yamato army was close to collapse under the rampage of the three thousand Kumamoto soldiers, and the left wing was also defeated and retreated one after another under the care of the three thousand Tosa, and the right wing, which had not yet engaged, made Takeuchi Suyu even more worried, because after completing the reorganization of the 1,000 Beifu soldiers, they were slowly coming over, and they were about to catch fire. Takeuchi knows in his heart that the 1,000 well-equipped soldiers of the Northern Mansion are worth 5,000 Kumamoto soldiers. Once you kill it, you don't have to think about resisting it at all, and now there is no place for Takeuchi Suyou to draw reinforcements.

At this moment, an army with similar equipment to Kumamoto suddenly appeared behind the right flank of the Yamato Army, numbering about three thousand. With a shout, he rushed into the Yamato army, and fought with a sword, killing the right wing of the Yamato army, which was fully guarding the front, in a hurry.

As soon as Yao Chen saw the flag, he immediately jumped up and scolded: "You *** Zhang Ke, you don't want to beat your mountain generation well, and you actually sent Sendai soldiers to Lao Tzu to grab the credit." ”

According to Zenghua's recent edict, the island was eventually named Hiroshima, and its administrative divisions were revealed. Tohoku area of Hiroshima. That is, the area east of Ibaraki, Yuekoku, and Mono. It is called Sendai, and it is mostly populated by barbarians known as Ezo people. Slightly shorter than the Yamato, the barbarians with pale brown skin and black wavy hair were the first people in Hiroshima to submit to Kitafu. Since they were more courageous than the bear himself, they soon joined the mercenaries as well.

Ibaraki, Yuekoku, and Maono line to Ezo Sendai in the east. To the west, this area is known as Echichu; The Kono and Kakulu areas were called Kai; Nuta, Mino, and Owari are collectively referred to as Owari; The Yamato and Kawachi regions, where the central part of the country is being conquered, will be called Tanba along with Kii, Yamashiro, Tanba, Tankai, Katsuragi, Ise, and Shimazu, because Tamba is the only country to be subjugated by Hokufu; Kibi and Tajima will be called Izumo. The public in Beifu didn't know the meaning of these names, but Zeng Hua tried his best to choose these names, from the Japanese Warring States game to Mr. Lu Xun's article, he really chose and chosen. Zhang Ke is responsible for the strategy of Vietnam, China and Jiafei. Mentored with Yao Chen in Owari. Now he is attacking Yamashiro, and the Sendai soldiers, Echichu soldiers, and Kai soldiers are under his command.

However, Yao Chen scolded. But he reminded himself that the mountain generation was almost over, otherwise Zhang Ke would not dare to put his hand here.

The Yamato army quickly collapsed, and Takeuchi escaped again under the desperate cover of his own soldiers, and fled all the way back to Karushima.

"The Great Empress (referring to the Empress Dowager of Yamato), the minister was defeated again in Gongnoda." Kneeling on the floor of the room, Takeuchi suke bowed his head and bowed his head to the rest of the long head of the country, saying that since the destruction of Kii Province, Takeuchi Suyou, who defected to Yamato Province, has positioned himself as a courtier of Yamato Province.

"What?" Hinacho was taken aback, what Takeuchi Suyou led was the last living force of the Yamato Kingdom, and now all of them are destroyed, doesn't it mean that the Yamato Kingdom is over.

"His Majesty originally planned to stick to the city of Gongye, but the cunning people of Beifu took the lead in robbing all the grain outside the city, so that we lacked food and grass, so we had to move to the right city of Anji, who knew that the people of Beifu were waiting for us on the road." Takeuchi Suyou, gloomily told the story of the battle.

"Katsuragi Eryun, Heiqun Left Company, and Soga Kaji were killed in battle, Otomo Lian Wuyou, Monobu and Left Company committed suicide, and the ministers and nobles of Yamato Province have been killed and wounded, and the local wealthy clans such as ministers, companies, kings, straight, Zao, and heads have died or surrendered, and they have disappeared. I'm afraid Yamato won't be able to keep it. She said with a sigh, and she glanced at the land in front of her, her son, the lord of Yamato, was still so indifferent, as if the war was still only going on on the Hanyang Peninsula.

"The Great Queen, the chief minister (Takeuchi Suyou), in order to keep Yamato, we have no choice but to surrender." Under the coercion of her mother's gaze, Yi Xuan finally spoke.

"Please descend?" Xi Changzu Ji Ming shouted angrily, "As long as Beifu is willing to surrender, no matter what they want, land, women, gold and silver, even if they want us to submit to them and lick their toes, I will agree." However, we have asked for surrender sixty-three times in the past few years, and the people of Beifu have only one reply - hit! ”

"Why are the people of Beifu like this? Isn't what they need is the might of the Celestial Empire? Izumi asked in surprise, and seeing that his mother and Takeuchi did not answer, he said to himself, "We can surrender to Beifu, even if we become a dog in his land." We can learn everything from them, and then Yamato will have new hope. ”

Xi Changzu Ji Ming and Wu Nei Su You glanced at each other gloomily, and finally decided to come down, and then sent an envoy to Yao Chen to ask for surrender, and sent an envoy to the rest of the countries, such as the Yamashiro country, the needle country and even the Kibi country for help.

Yao Chen replied to the surrender of Yamato by continuing to march, not because he didn't want to surrender, but because Zeng Hua's order to the Beifu Army was that Jibei, Yamato, and Kii were not allowed to cease fighting and collect troops until they were destroyed.

In December of the second year of Ninyasu, on a snowy day, 1,000 Beifu stormtroopers and 6,000 Kumamoto and Tosa soldiers surrounded Karumhima and began to prepare for the siege.

In the case of the cut off of foreign aid and the hopelessness of surrender, Takeuchi made a final effort, he walked out of Karushima Castle alone, confessed his responsibility for provoking the war in front of the Beifu army, and then committed suicide with a sword to atone for his sins.

Yao Chen didn't eat this at all, and after watching Takeuchi Suyou's suicide performance, he ordered to continue the siege. The desperate breath Changzu Ji took Yi Hao's life, set fire to Fengming Palace, and set himself on fire before Yao Chen rushed in.

Only a month later, that is, in the first month of the third year of Ningkang, Tang Jian, the commander of the Fifth Offshore Fleet, led the army to attack the castle of Kibi Kunkurashiki, and its lord Kibi Jinhiko killed dozens of queens (queens), Langzi (princes), and Langnu (princesses), and committed suicide with more than 100 nobles, and the kingdom of Kibi was destroyed. And the one who persevered to the end was actually the lord of the mountain dynasty, Lunan Neisu, who took advantage of Zhang Ke's carelessness to break out of the siege and fled into the mountainous area where the mountain was handed over by the mountain and Tamba. Zhang Ke spent a lot of effort to finally kill the luscious Neisu in March of the third year of Ningkang. At this point, the war in Dongying was finally over.
