Chapter 96: Arrow Defense

"Don't stop training with muskets, but then you need to train to defend against arrows and dodge arrows."

This is indeed a short board, Wang Hongyu followed Zhou Dunji to practice defending an arrow first. Zhou Dunji shoots at different distances, defending himself with a shield, or dodging.

It didn't take long to discover the pattern, the speed of light arrows can reach 60 meters per second, if it is a distance of 50 steps in ancient times and more than 70 meters in later generations, there is enough time to react and make defenses.

The speed of heavy arrows is slower, and the difference between heavy and light arrows can be seen with the naked eye, so you have to dodge.

At first, it was difficult to judge where the arrow hit, and after dodging dozens of times, I gradually found the technique.

Next, he called dozens of archers under his command and practiced in this way. Wujuren's physical foundation, months of tempering, and the improvement of his mental strength allowed him to master the skills of dodging arrows in a few hours.

Light arrows at least 50 steps away and heavy arrows at 30 steps away, as long as they are not fired in a salvo of multiple arrows, they can basically be avoided when they see it.

"Guns poked, guns poked, knives slashed, killed and killed him.

It's just that they all rush in together, and it's difficult to change hands, so how can they tolerate jumping left and right? ”

I don't know when, the old general Qi Jin was already standing outside the school yard to observe, and said this aloud.

Zhou Dunji looked at it with a dark smile on the side, it seemed that he had invited someone again.

What I just said was written by Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Performance", which specifically pointed out that the martial arts of the rivers and lakes are useless for the battle array, and there is no room for jumping and moving in the formation battle.

The dodging skills that have just been trained can only be used in certain situations.

"What General Qi said is exact, but how to deal with arrows when you are in battle?"

"Defense!"

Qi Jin walked to Wang Hongyu's side and stretched out his hand to pat the young junior, actually to personally check the quality of his armor.

"Good armor, the top of the head, neck, breastplate and knees have been specially strengthened, and the smooth and angled armor is better against arrows...... It must be the handiwork of a master craftsman. ”

Master?

Li Tiezhu's craftsmanship is okay~

In fact, this armor is not only his good craftsmanship, but also his own knowledge combined with later generations. On the basis of the original set of bright light fish scale armor, a large piece of plate armor was used, and the concept of inclined armor was used in the tank, which can greatly increase the anti-puncture effect.

Li Tiezhu's comprehension ability is good, and now his improved armor has been strengthened by arrows. The 2 apprentices around him can also learn some skills, and they can strengthen more than a dozen sets of armor in a month.

"In that case, sharpen the arrows and shoot!" Zhou Dunji also slapped the armor hard.

What a big brother, this is going to abolish the third brother...... This armor is not successful?

Qi Jin nodded, the Qi family army and the Zhejiang soldiers have not had excellent heavy armor, and then against the Mongols who are good at riding and shooting, the method of using chariot bases is actually to improve the effect of anti-arrow to win the counter-shooting.

If high-quality armor is widespread, heavy armor plus chariots will not be afraid of any enemy army at all.

Soon, special training began on the school field again.

This time, Wang Hongyu held a spear in both hands, simulating a spear phalanx encountering an arrow, and he couldn't jump left and right, let alone roll and dodge.

Seeing that one arrow after another broke through the air, shooting towards him as expected, Wang Hongyu concentrated his energy and used the reinforced part of the armor to catch the arrows.

"Bang, puff~"

One arrow bounced off as intended, leaving three ...... Pierced into the armor of the fish scale armor.

If you hadn't worn off the arrows, I'm afraid you would have been injured!

Suddenly came to his senses.

I just trained to dodge the arrows, and I didn't watch the arrows hit me up close, so I couldn't predict where the last arrow hit!

Only when you are hit by an arrow can you see the trajectory that flashes at the last moment!

The fighting spirit burns and you concentrate your full attention before the arrow hits.

See!

The speed is extremely fast, only a tenth of a second in the afterlife, surpassing the reaction time of the nerves and the body.

However, when you are shot again and again, you will know what kind of arrow is before you hit each position.

Over and over again, the archers changed several times, and finally they were able to accurately strengthen the parts with their armor and block the arrows in the right position.

"Huo~ really did it."

Zhou Dunji looked up and saw that the sky was already dark, and sighed that he had practiced according to this method for three days back then, and he had only achieved a little success, and now he has done it in one day.

Qi Jin said: "Back then, General Qi emphasized the practice of battle formations, and he also had a deep understanding of personal martial arts, but it was not as good as special training. General Liu Ling, a general of the Sichuan soldiers, seems to be specialized in this aspect.

However, General Qi and General Liu Wei went to the same end, and in the end they both emphasized chariots and firearms, and martial arts would eventually be replaced by firearms. ”

"General Qi is right, so the special training for the third brother has always been marching, camping, etc., and it is indeed difficult to promote this aspect of arrow prevention to the whole army."

As soon as his words fell, Wang Hongyu, who had finished the training, said loudly as he walked: "General Qi, big brother, I have thought of a training method that can strengthen the training of the whole army to defend against arrows!"

"Is it a car formation?"

Qi Jiguang and Liu Wei both chose to use chariots to build field bases, coupled with the good shooting and melee strength of the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers, they played prestige again and again.

"It's not a formation, it's a line."

!?

Line ...... A queue like a line? Isn't that a live target for a bow and arrow!?

Qi Jin suddenly felt that Wang Hongyu was only 19 years old, could it be whimsical?

Zhou Dunji's eyes widened, after experiencing Wang Hongyu's training ability of the joint training of all armies and the spear phalanx, he believed that this line was definitely not ordinary.

"Tell me about it."

Hearing what the eldest brother said, Wang Hongyu introduced it as concisely as possible: "To prevent arrows, passive defense is not enough, both defense and attack."

Let's talk about defense first: I used armor to defend against arrows, and specially used helmets, shoulder armor, arm guards, breastplates and group armor to block arrows, and the rest of the parts were rarely used. Our southern army has limited heavy armor, and the cost of wearing heavy armor in the whole army is too high, so it is better to strengthen these parts. ”

Qi Jin nodded, just now he said that the set of armor on his body was well-made, that is, these key positions were strengthened by polished iron armor. The thickness and inclination of these parts are used in training to really protect against arrows.

"In addition to armor, there is also movement. Imagine that our army shoots at Jiannu and Mongolia, the formation is not neat, the arrows are not dense, and the formation is neat and becomes a target. Just now I did the action defense, and I found that the arrows shot were not terrible, but the arrows shot from the side were unguardable. ”

Qi Jin's eyes lit up, and this was to the point. After all, the front can be observed, and there is armor protection, and the cold arrow on the side hits the armpits, neck, and waist ribs, but it is a one-hit kill.

Wang Hongyu caught the other party's expression, knew that the other party gradually accepted it step by step, and continued to talk eloquently: "So you need a neat queue to cover each other's waist, ribs and armpits." In this way, the front is guarded with armor, and the side is close to the comrade, and there is no weakness except for the back. ”

At this time, he handed the eldest brother a look, and the brothers had a heart, and said in unison: "Let's try it~"
