Chapter 135 actually made me cry
Chapter 135 I was scared to tears
During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army was strong for a while. Its main opponents, Turks, Tubo and Arabs, were all powerful nations at that time, but their confrontation with the Tang army was basically more defeated than defeat. At its peak, the Tang army expanded its territory and its power was far to the Caspian region. Outer Mongolia and the Western Regions all became the territory of China.
However, the Tang Dynasty army did not rely on its number to win from beginning to end. The country's 634 governments had less than 600,000 troops. However, this army, which was not huge in number, controlled 13 million square kilometers of land in the Western Regions, and shocked dozens of countries of all sizes.
What is the "excellent" thing about the Tang army? It makes the world dare not be disrespectful?
In later generations, the "sweet powder" came up with the most objective and fair answer. The Tang army's equipment was the best generation in Chinese history, with excellent weapons and sufficient horses. Before the Anshi Rebellion, the expensive and extremely easy-to-break "Tang-like Big Sword" (horizontal Sword) was the standard for soldiers. The man who made a strong bow with three years of work was one, and even the infantry would be equipped with pack horses to improve their mobility. In addition to the iron armor of the people and horses, the heavy cavalry also equipped with horse spears that took fifteen years to complete. There were also Mingguang armor that could basically ignore light bow shooting.
Chen Ying saw in later military forums, he saw that the Tang army had three major killing weapons: "Bows and crossbows, Modao, and Light Cavalry!" However, Modao did not have a built-in equipment force in the early Tang Dynasty. It is believed that it was related to the lack of national strength in the Tang Dynasty during this period. After being equipped with Chen Ying's horseshoe, the loss rate of horseshoe was reduced by almost 90%. The equipment of the high bridge saddle and bilateral stirrup allowed the Tang army soldiers to abuse the Turks on horseback in the field.
The Mingguang armor and Modao were also thought of by Chen Ying to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. In the near future, the Modao of the Tang army will be equipped with troops on a large scale, and may increase exponentially or ten times more than the peak in history than at its peak in history.
Of course, Chen Ying did not let go of the crossbow. The crossbow machine is a powerful weapon for the Chinese nation to restrain the northern nomadic peoples. The manufacturing and research and development of crossbow machine in all dynasties have produced extremely strong results. In the Qin Dynasty, the foot-mounted crossbow, the big yellow crossbow, and the Wanjun crossbow of the Jin Dynasty. In the contemporary era, the Tang crossbow and the Baniu crossbow of the Tang Dynasty have also been in the contemporary era.
Chen Ying did not make great efforts to improve the Baniu Crossbow at this time, but he built the scorpion crossbow sold on "Small Taobao". The so-called scorpion crossbow is actually a composite crossbow. The crossbow arm is made of spring alloy steel with extremely strong elasticity, and adopts a recurved arc to increase tension. As the tension increases, the range and power are also greatly improved and strengthened.
After the generals were flattered, Du Shanguo, the military officer of the Records Office, raised a targeted question: "General Chen, although this crossbow shot farther and powerful, it is too bulky, right?"
Chen Ying nodded and said, "For individual soldiers, the weight of this crossbow machine is a bit heavier. Of course, its main function is not to counterattack in time, but also to attack and suppress the enemy's crossbowmen."
Chen Ying actually expressed helplessness. Without a scope, although the range of the scorpion crossbow is long and powerful, it is impossible to shoot accurately. Facing a target as big as a matchstick, it is difficult to catch it with the naked eye and hit it directly in later generations. What's more, a crossbow machine is shooting targets that are more than 300 steps away. When flying, the crossbow arrows are not straight lines, but parabolic. In this case, to accurately hit the target, the target needs to be predicted. This is a very test of the crossbow operator's operating level and prediction ability.
When Du Shanguo heard that Chen Ying had originally used this kind of crossbow to suppress the enemy archers, he stopped talking. Because the accuracy of the bow and arrow is generally not high during shooting, and the unit density is used to carry out cover shooting. The accuracy is not important, but the important thing is that the range is long enough and the penetration is strong enough.
However, before the Modao Army reached the Zheng army's Jinsha Camp, the soldiers under Wang Xuanqiong were panicked. A arrow shot into the Zheng army's banner with one arrow, which was fatal to the morale of the Zheng army. On the battlefield, the morale of the offensive and defense sides often grew and declined. If the enemy's spirit appeared to be strong, the soldiers on their own might also become suspicious.
Chen Ying's power of arrow made the Zheng army soldiers immediately think that there were sharpshooters in the enemy formation, and none of them wanted to be named by the enemy, so they immediately shrank their heads and vital parts at the same time.
"cut!"
Dozens of Mo Dao raised his breath and raised the Mo Dao in his hand and slashed it neatly. Mo Dao slapped and slashed hard on the horse-rejecting stake that was blocking the Mo Dao's military formation with a sensational whistle.
Just like a horse-rejecting pile as thick as a bowl, it turned into thousands of pieces and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Wang Xuanqiong was shocked. He originally thought that although the semi-eternal village of Jinsha Camp was not a city, they could use the advantage of the geographical advantage to cause a large number of casualties to the Tang army, and Chen Ying would retreat. However, he did not expect that the power of Mo Dao was so terrifying.
Inadvertently, Wang Xuanqiong shivered.
At this time, the soldiers of the Modao Army had already entered the range of the Zheng army's bow and arrows. At the call of the Zheng army generals, the soldiers of the Zheng army blew the arrows and shot at more than 600 soldiers of the Modao Army. The soldiers of the Zheng army were also afraid of the forced forces of the Modao Army, so they hurriedly blew the arrows.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
However, what surprised the Zheng army soldiers was that they shot three arrows in a row, and at least more than 10,000 arrows shot into the Modao Army. The arrows collided with the Mingguang armor, making a harsh sound of golden inspiration, and sparks were everywhere. The scene was very spectacular, but the Modao Army soldiers didn't even have nothing to do.
Still taking firm steps, slowly approaching the camp.
The second horse-rejecting pile was still like chopping wood, and it swung the knife to split the horse-rejecting pile into wood chips.
Standing on the watchtower in front of the Central Army Hall, Zhao Jiqing pointed forward at the formation of the Mo Dao Army and said, "King, have you noticed that these heavy armor that cannot be shot through the arrows, the Tang army still has more than 2,000 people."
Wang Xuanqiong nodded and said, "I discovered it but what should we do now?"
Zhao Jiqing said: "Now I can only fight to the death. If these iron men rush into our camp, I am afraid that the camp will be smashed by them like a horse-rejecting stake."
"The problem is here. We can't sit and wait for death. We must go out to fight back. When they rush to the camp, we will have no chance!"
Wang Xuanqiong didn't want to die either. He threatened and tempted the generals under his command, and eventually forced two poor unlucky guys to lead the Zheng army soldiers out of the camp to attack the Modao Army.
At this time, the Zheng army soldiers did not know that the god of death had opened his arms to them.
Looking at the Zheng army soldiers rushing up, Chen Ying knew these infantrymen: "Although the armor of the Modao Army is strong and it is not difficult to defeat the enemy, the Modao Army's physical strength is limited and there is absolutely no waste in this situation. Therefore, in this case, we must use the advantage of the long range of the scorpion crossbow to delay the enemy's attack with the three-stone hard crossbow, three-stone strong bow, one-stone crossbow, and one-stone bow, forming a long, medium-sized and near three-layer crossbow, to delay the enemy's attack!"
At this moment, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Zheng army rushed towards the Modao Army like a tide, less than thirty steps away from the Modao Army soldiers.
A thick voice in the Modao Army said, "Prepare... Get up..."
At the same time, when he saw the Mo Dao soldiers raise the Mo Dao in their hands, Zhao Jiqing said anxiously: "No, if there is any situation, please order them to withdraw!"
Wang Xuanqiong really wanted to ask Zhao Jiqing what he was going to do, but he had not waited for Wang Xuanqiong to say it.
Chen Ying looked at the Modao Army with great enthusiasm, and from the serious military orders, he could actually hear a familiar tone, which was a desolate and tragic tone. Chen Ying faintly heard the "Qin Opera" from it. Of course, the Shaanxi Qin Opera of his era was obviously the heir to this accent. Imagine that was sweeping across the world and unifying the Liuhe Iron Army? More than ten years later, when the Tang Dynasty was in its prime, the cavalry came out everywhere, and the powerful soldiers who drove from the Guanlong area to the Western Regions shouted this accent?
However, as the word "Zhen" fell, the sound of Mo Dao's blade slashing the wind immediately rang out, and then the sound of Mo Dao entering the flesh sounded.
puff puff puff puff puff...
Hissing-
This is the sound of the people present seeing this scene and the cold sound appeared together with the sound, and there was a brilliant color - red! bright red! Like a rainbow with only one color after the rain!
Time seemed to stop at this moment, but in this moment, large groups of blood rose in front of the Zheng army, and even smelled blood. The moment the Zheng army infantry and cavalry came into contact with the Tang Dynasty Modao, the splashed blood was spraying everywhere - not splashing, but spraying!
When the head is cut off, when the body is split into two pieces, when the blood in the large arteries in the human body is no longer flowing, but spraying!
In that blink of an eye, not only was the visual and auditory feeling disturbing Wang Xuanqiong's attention, but there was even a hint of wetness and coldness in his crotch.
"Start..."
There was almost no pause. After Mo Dao swung it down, Mo Dao's hands took a neat step forward, and Mo Dao slashed hard with a shrill whistle.
The formation of more than 2,000 troops in the Zheng army suddenly became empty.
Two thousand Zheng army soldiers and more than a thousand people have turned into minced meat and incomplete corpses.
At this time, without Wang Xuanqiong's orders, the Zheng army soldiers were retreating rapidly.
If these soldiers were allowed to participate in the Olympic sprint, 80% of them would break the world record and be worn with armor of more than ten or twenty pounds.
"Dongdong..."
The soldiers of the Modao Army stepped neatly and rhythmically on the ground, forming steps like rhythmic thunder. This step was like thunder, knocking on the hearts of every Zheng army soldier present.
"Ah...ah...I won't beat you anymore, stop hitting..." Wang Xuanqiong wiped his eyes and cried loudly, while urging to the side with a crying voice: "Don't beat you anymore, stop hit you anymore. Let's surrender!"
Wang Xuanqiong actually cried, and she cried very sadly, which made people feel sad and shed tears when they heard it. Men don’t cry easily, but they are not sad.
It was just a very regretful thing. Wang Xuanqiong was not sad because of the soldiers who died under the Modao Sabre. He was actually scared to tears. He was really scared to tears by the indiscriminate killing opportunity like the Modao Sabre.
