The sun is setting in the sky, the red light is shining on the whole land in the west, the sunshine hours are starting to get longer in spring, and there is still an hour before the sun sets, which means that the sun is still far away from the moment when the sun disappears and the black star shines alone, so there is no need to worry about the sudden surge in the power of this demon army warriors.

An hour was enough time for me to see a lot of things clearly, and enough time for the outland immortal to let down his guard.

It is easy for the cavalry to destroy the arrow array, and it is normal for each other to consume each other for a long time.

Ye Qing has studied the battle examples of the year in Xiatu, the elite Han army led by Li Ling, composed of 5,000 infantry, the record is proficient in swordsmanship and bows and crossbows, and the field battle method is to arrange halberders and shield-wielding soldiers as rejecting horses, and the crossbowmen are lined up behind.

For 30,000 cavalry in the early stage and 80,000 cavalry in the later period, the total battle time is about ten days, and the individual archers of the Han Dynasty carry a vector of 50 branches, which is the standard ammunition base required for a day of combat for one person at that time, each person consumes 50 arrows per day, and 100 arrows at the most intense time, with a total consumption of more than 2.5 million branches.

There are real examples of such power collisions, and some erroneous habits and understandings are as light as bubbles.

Ye Qing still remembered that he was used to knowing, thinking that the ancient archers faced the cavalry charge, the reason was that 'there were no more than three arrows in battle', according to the speed of the horse's charge, the distance of one hundred and fifty meters was only ten seconds, and this time was only enough for the archers to shoot three arrows, and then the opponent's cavalry arrived.

There are also some reasons, such as thinking that the pull of the ancient heavy bow is too great, and the archer will not be able to stand it if he lets go of a dozen arrows, and he will hurt his muscles and muscles, or even pull it away, and so on sounds very reasonable, so as long as the cavalry wears high-quality armor and charges hard, and shoots through these three waves of arrows into hand-to-hand combat, the archer is finished.

In a word, the conclusion - the archer is weak.

But I'm afraid to take everything seriously, what is more real than numbers is history, Ye Qing used archers like this in the past, and then I always felt that it was wrong, how could there be a pure bow and arrow group in this case?

Didn't the ancient generals know about this simple calculation and deduction?

In the history of the former Han Dynasty, Li Ling's 5,000-step archers fought and retreated in the siege, not only did they not perish in a wave, but they also held out for nearly ten days, and when they ran out of ammunition and food, they destroyed more than 10,000 cavalry, all blowing?

The Han people's tradition of riding Hu is an arrow array, if the archers are weak and the battle results are blown, the Han Dynasty will not have perished countless times, and can it still die strong?

It wasn't until he looked at it after the experience of the new Han Dynasty that Ye Qing felt ridiculous - this is actually a way of thinking that modern people don't understand their own history, and they use foreign low-end bows and crossbows, one ignores the big killing weapons such as strong bows and crossbows in ancient times, and the other ignores the difference between group arrow formations and squad archers, which is not a level of strength at all in strategy compared to heavy artillery groups and a few small artillery.

First of all, there is the question of range, the range of the strong bow and crossbow is far more than one hundred and fifty meters, and this is twice or even more, which means that the shooters support each other farther, and the size of the arrow array is greatly increased tenfold.

The three-stage design was not invented in the era of muskets, and the ancient archers also fired in batches, and the cavalry was by no means as simple as only three waves of fire within 150 meters.

As for the body lì is not good is the continuous range of firepower, the so-called archer as long as he opens the bow more than a dozen times will not be able to pull the bow, this is completely inexperienced assumptions, later generations have traditional bow enthusiasts to maintain four hours of continuous shooting, the first hour can maintain shooting accuracy, the next three hours can no longer maintain accuracy, but the group arrow array coverage shooting has no effect - the early tunnel musket accuracy is much more ugly than the bow and arrow, two hundred meters can fly out of the sky.

The ancients started archery training from a young age, not to mention, "History of the Song Dynasty" recorded that the general Wang Shunchen had shot at the Qiang people, "self-shen and unitary, more than 1,000 arrows, no void, finger cracks, blood flow to the elbow", two to four hours **** a thousand rounds, an average of ten seconds to shoot a round, equipped with special drugs to protect the shooter's fingers, as well as special protective gear, which will last to shoot until the fingers are cracked and blood is full of elbows, which shows the strength of the will to fight and the strength of the body.

The Song people are good at arrows, and the divine arm bow can be called the pinnacle, but on the whole, it is still the strongest arrow array in the Han Dynasty, and the standard is that war is not a one-man game.

According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", it is written: "Zan ...... The white horse is the backbone, and it is also divided into two schools, shooting left and right, and right and left", revealing the details of an ancient archer cavalry's use of crossfire, skillfully avoiding the shield protection of the opponent's front, Yuan Shao's response is also very interesting, he launched a counter-charge with 800 heavy armor elites mixed with more than 1,000 crossbowmen, and finally broke the white horse of tens of thousands of archers.

The cavalry, starting from a distance of four hundred meters from the enemy's position, was met with a large density of fire at every moment, and it was covered by all-round fire without gaps, with projectiles from the air, direct and projectile from the left and right sides, and accurate and powerful direct fire from the front.

On this section of the charge, every step and every moment, all the space is filled with the crossfire of arrows, advancing to the last fifty meters, and the steel armor under the strong crossbow has to kneel, of course, the premise of this arrow formation is that there is an excellent general, and he is well-trained, numerous, and courageous enough for the troops.

Regardless of the millions of years of war experience on the ground, basically only the armies of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period could reach the master-level specialization of the arrow array, and the Song Dynasty lost its courage.

For example, Li Ling's casualties in that battle against the Xiongnu alone, there is a clear record of more than 2,000 killed at a time, more than 3,000 at a time, a total of more than 5,000, and the results of several other battles are said to have killed thousands, so the minimum casualties are also more than 10,000.

However, this is only a record of several famous battles, and the number of kills in the rest of the non-stop raids is not counted, and according to the duration of the battle and the intensity of the engagement, it can be estimated that the normal number of kills is at least about 20,000, and the number of wounded is even more difficult to estimate.

1,000 to 20,000 people, this casualty ratio is the power of the arrow array to the cavalry, and the brushing of the beard is the same as playing, which is the reason why the musket was not invented in ancient China.

However, this is a very high requirement for the country's comprehensive strength, manufacturing force, technology, logistics, troops, training, famous generals, courage are indispensable, and later the Song Dynasty did not learn home, only the range of weapons and individual archery two progress, the overall killing ability is worlds apart, the tiger is not an anti-dog, by the Liao, Jin, Mongolia wheel brush copy.

In essence, it is the loss of the national war system, and the Han style is overwhelming.

It shows that in war, the cavalry formation is the same, the arrow formation is the same, and even the gun formation is the same, in fact, any respected weapon and formation is not without weakness and unbreakable.

But power is unbreakable - or the power of a pinnacle form can only be broken by another, more powerful force.

On the land of Kyushu, the five German feudal states sit in turn for the sake of the norm, the Northern Wei Dynasty and other feudal states are still good at this national war system, and the Cai Dynasty Neizhou may be superior in strength, but the blood is insufficient, compared with the foreign state legions, it is the difference between docile buffalo and wild tigers, similar in size, and it is not the same thing at all to actually fight, who cares if you are reasonable in the battle of life and death?

"The reason why the first batch of princes such as the King of Wei, the Marquis of Xiang, and the Marquis of Yan all stood tall in the middle of the period and led the way, I only thought that they had an early advantage, but now it seems that they are a little too prejudiced. ”

"There are many rising stars in the world who have succeeded in fighting for the dragon, and this time it may not only be that they rose early, but that they have all unified the world in the lower soil, and they have a group of backbones who are proficient in the national war system...... For example, when I first became a marquis, I was vain, and the heroes of the land returned to their hearts to make the Han marquis's personality stable, because the system is not just an empty letter, someone has to pursue it, and even can adjust and improve it according to the new situation, which is a dynamic system. ”

Thousands of miles south day and night, relying on its own Jiaolong Peak, Hanchen Real Troupe, Nuwa Immortal Combat Power, more than 1,000 sorcerer regiments, tens of thousands of Dao soldiers, fire thunder, fire tail arrows, train transportation, ......

Behind these, they all vaguely refer to a new and dynamic system, rather than relying on the spirit of the king to accept it.

When Ye Qingzheng was pondering, he heard Zhuge Liang say: "Lord, although the enemy's arrow array is as strong as ours, there are only two arrows for each of them, and there is no logistics, so I am really not afraid...... It's the enemy's magic circle, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for the cavalry to rush through. ”

Most of them were Hanchen, experienced in warfare, and at a glance saw the bravado behind the enemy's strong arrow array, which may be able to intimidate other states, but it can't scare them, but the casualties of the strong charge must be very large, and few of these cavalry will survive.

Ye Qing nodded, although he was cautious about guarding against the enemy's backhand, but the matter had come to this point, and when it was decided, it was decided: "Seeing the subtleties, I already understand the strength of this batch of foreign Dao soldiers, and the confrontation against the real yàn is over here, the real person will make a real dragon formation and break the enemy's large array." ”

"Yes. Everyone bowed slightly, Qianqian and they had always known each other, and it was not surprising that they were even more surprised.
