Chapter 2281 The story of riding in Hufu and shooting Han people
When the Han Dynasty clicked on the technology tree, they found that their bows and arrows were indeed lower than those of the barbarians. They did not forcefully pursue them, but first clicked on the next one, the crossbow.
And it was very good.
The big yellow crossbow was almost the pinnacle of the Han Dynasty, or the following dynasties. It was not until the Song Dynasty that new crossbows appeared, and it was considered to have stepped down from the throne.
The Han crossbow was developed on the basis of the Qin crossbow.
The crossbows of the Qin Dynasty were basically Qingzhang crossbows and Qianzhang crossbows. On the basis of this, the Han Dynasty developed the "waist-fired crossbow" and the "shoulder-fired crossbow".
To draw the crossbow from the waist, the crossbow hand pushes the bow forward with both hands. During this process, the hook tied to the waist is used to pull the string to open the crossbow string. If you are weak, you can use your feet to help. If you are strong, you can directly use your waist to open the crossbow.
The bow is generally an improved version of the crossbow, and it has a bit of a crossbow meaning.
The one holding the crossbow over the shoulder is the unique big yellow crossbow.
Because the soldiers who used the rhubarb crossbow had to put a piece of thick cowhide on their shoulders to prevent them from being strained by the bowstring. And the leather dyeing and tanning process in the Han Dynasty, well, even the leather of later generations often faded, so these uses
The soldiers of the big yellow crossbow will leave very obvious dye marks on the shoulders, so they are also called yellow shoulder soldiers, and the big yellow crossbow is also called the yellow shoulder crossbow.
First of all, the Rhubarb Crossbow is long, big, and thick, and one shot... well, it is fatal. The strength of a person's back is actually very strong, so the Rhubarb Crossbow is a bit like a tracker's mode of pulling fibers, with one push and one pull, it can
The winding speed is faster than the crossbow and the range is longer. Basically, the eight-stone crossbow starts. The stronger yellow-shouldered soldiers can even trigger the ten-stone crossbow. Li Guang was called
The little prince of the big yellow crossbow can take a person's head three hundred steps away and make the barbarians want to die...
Now Feiqian’s re-engraved Dahuang Crossbow...
Well, it is indeed a replica, because the rhubarb crossbow was once replaced by the waist-guided crossbow. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a shortage of materials for the rhubarb crossbow. Everyone knows the reason for this shortage. At the same time, the effects of force are mutual, and the rhubarb crossbow
The shooting power of a crossbow is greater than that of ordinary crossbows, so the crossbow body and arms must be supported by stronger materials.
Fei Qian has reproduced a batch of "Big Yellow Crossbow" before, but due to various restrictions at that time, it was a smaller version of the Big Yellow Crossbow. Although the power is somewhat close, there are still some differences after all. Now it has used brand-new materials and re-made it.
The improved version of the big yellow crossbow that was produced naturally restored the original big, long and thick appearance of the early Han Dynasty.
Of course, how powerful is the new version of the big yellow crossbow?
Four hundred steps, the armor penetrates directly!
Four hundred and fifty steps, defeated! The lethality dropped slightly.
Five hundred steps, there is still a certain lethality, but the accuracy has been completely lost. Basically, it is impossible to ensure the hit rate. It can only be decided by the multi-sided dice of the battlefield.
Or take a coverage shot...
If we ignore the lethality and only talk about the range, in a windless state, the new version of the Big Yellow Crossbow has been able to shoot a distance of nearly 800 steps, but by the end of the range, it is basically no longer lethal at all. So.
When used normally, the killing range of the new version of the Dahuang Crossbow should be between 450 and 300 steps. It is a longer-range killing weapon and is used to make up for the slow launch speed and low frequency of the crossbow.
The closer one is the crossbow and the strong bow working together, covering a range of less than 300 steps to 50 steps, and below 50 steps, although the melee bow is also very powerful, if played well, it is not much worse than the pistol of later generations.
But after all, not all archers are elf princes. Within fifty steps, they are basically in the melee line. Even if they are not fast, they can rush to the front in about ten breaths, while ordinary archers are close to melee soldiers.
Getting pregnant is basically a disaster.
Therefore, when fighting in a normal battle formation, you usually need to give the order for the archers to retreat at eighty paces at the latest. When facing the cavalry, you have to give the order even a hundred paces away. Otherwise, when the enemy arrives, you will be in a hurry.
The archers collided with their own defense line again...
Well, that would simply kill someone!
However, Fei Qian also has a new toy in this exercise.
Well, in the eyes of many people, this new thing does look like a toy. The main reason is that its lethality is too low. It starts to float around after eighty steps, and it only has lethality within fifty steps, and it only has lethality within thirty or forty steps.
The damage is the greatest, and the filling is slow, and the distance of thirty or forty steps is a matter of one breath for the jumping soldiers...
Fei Qian has seen the enhanced version of Zhu Ge's repeating crossbow before. It uses a mechanical structure on the crossbow to improve the shooting quality of the crossbow. Later, the Ming Dynasty even moved this repeating crossbow to warships.
.
As for the trumpet single-hand repeating crossbow that uses the lever principle to wind up and fires continuously, there are two initial problems. One is that the power is low. Let’s not talk about this. The structure is there. It can be quickly wound with a one-handed lever.
It cannot be very powerful, and there is also a very serious problem, which is that it is easily damaged, especially the lever wrench. It is often pulled and pulled, and it breaks with a click...
Repeated force in forward and reverse directions in a short period of time naturally places high demands on materials. This may be one of the reasons why the mini-pig rifle disappeared later. Other reasons are the rise of gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty, which made the new long-range
With the replacement of weapons, things like repeating crossbows have been replaced by cheaper and more convenient weapons.
Fei Qian also wanted to make a musket for a time, but unfortunately the basics of materials and chemistry were too poor. He could still make one or two and risk the barrel of the gun exploding, but he wanted to mass-produce it...
…
There is no such condition yet.
So we can only settle for the next best thing and start making the repeating crossbow now.
The infantry battle formation moved forward until they stood fifty steps in front of the target, and then began to launch and level fire. When the last round of shooting of ordinary bows and crossbows was completed, the bows and arrows standing in the last two rows held repeating crossbows and went towards
Taking the first two steps, before grabbing the queue, with the sound of being cocked and fired, a dense number of short-legged crossbows roared out, ramming forward like a swarm of wasps...
Anyway, what the trumpet repeating crossbow pursues is speed, and Fei Qian's requirement is to shoot ten crossbow bolts within three to five breaths, so when these crossbow bolts roared out and covered a large area densely, originally for this trumpet
Lian Nu didn't pay much attention to the general, and some people including Xu Chu changed their colors.
Feizhen looked at the excitement and clapped her hands happily.
But Xu Chu and others just looked at the doorway and exchanged glances with each other, "Oh, so this is how this repeating crossbow is used..."
The reason why I looked down upon the repeating crossbow at first was that it was less powerful, and the short-legged crossbow arrows, or longer iron nails, basically had very low lethality beyond fifty steps. Ordinary leather armor could reduce its damage.
Not to mention A, but now seeing this drill conducted by Fei Qian, everyone's understanding of Lian Nu has been refreshed again.
Because except for abnormal infantry generals such as Xu Huang and Gao Shun, when most normal infantry battle formations are in combat, those on the front line are definitely not heavy-armored iron pimples, but light-armored jumping soldiers.
In the last fifty steps, these jumping soldiers will run out of the shield array, and then attack the enemy formation at the fastest speed, throwing armor-piercing halberds or small battle axes between thirty and twenty steps.
Waiting for weapons, and then crashing into the gaps in the enemy array...
And at this time, before thirty steps had passed, these rushing soldiers with light armor or even thin armor were facing a group of short-legged crossbow bolts roaring towards them...
"Tsk, tsk..." Xu Chu could already imagine the scene. He smacked his lips, and then couldn't help but secretly glance at Fei Qian. He murmured in his heart, he was indeed a hussar general. This continuous crossbow was simply a light-armored jump.
The biggest killing weapon of the Dang soldiers! It's like a flesh and blood body hitting an iron nail by itself, why don't you kill as many as you come? Well, maybe it can also be used in narrow places such as city gates, hmm...
Xu Chu had already begun to spread his thoughts, pondering other uses for this repeating crossbow that he didn't think much of at first.
"Zhongkang, if we use these bows and crossbows and the enemy has an infantry formation, how should we fight?" Fei Qian asked Xu Chudao.
Xu Chu had also been thinking about this matter. When Fei Qian asked, he directly said: "Lead the cavalry on the left and right to circle and shoot, disrupt their formation, attack them with a thousand-step crossbow, and lure them to attack. Five hundred steps, yellow shoulders."
The soldiers will shoot at them three hundred paces, and the soldiers with crossbows will shoot at them. Within fifty paces, when the thieves rush forward, they will shoot at them with their crossbows..."
Xu Chu was talking, his voice was very smooth at the beginning, but then it slowed down, and he even started to frown at the end of the sentence, and he hesitated for a moment in the last half of the sentence, "...
If the arrows are well prepared... they may not be damaged... Such techniques can shake up the situation of the battle, just like the barbaric uniforms of the past.
Although Xu Chu served as Cao Cao's Guards Corps for most of history and was responsible for defense work, it does not mean that Xu Chu was inferior to other generals who led armies in battle in terms of military capabilities.
After Xu Chu told him his attack method, he almost immediately thought of how he should deal with such tactics and how to defend himself. After all, he was also the Guards Corps of General Hussars, and then he found that it seemed difficult.
…
"The military is the most important thing for the country..." Fei Qian said slowly, "No one knows this sentence... But where does the advantage of weapons come from?"
Fei Qian didn't mean to wait for anyone else to answer, but continued directly, "...the people of China in ancient times drank their hair and drank their blood, running around in the wilds, and could not find peace. Later, they built dams on the rivers, settled in and farmed, and also worked as farmers and plowed oxen.
, square rakes, rakes and other utensils are used to benefit farmers and mulberry trees. When wild beasts invade and barbarians attack, they make bows, crossbows, spears, sticks, swords, contradictions, halberds and other soldiers to ward off foreign countries and ward off enemies...
These utensils are all made by craftsmen, so there is no food without farmers, and no utensils without workers... Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the four pillars of the country. If anyone in the future makes arrogant remarks about scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and wants to classify those who are superior and inferior, they are all people with ulterior motives and will be punished.
It’s okay…”
Xu Chu and others bowed their heads and responded, "I will obey the order."
Fei Qian also lowered his head and looked at Fei Zhen, who also nodded seriously, indicating that he had remembered this matter...
"Come here! Send the order! Craftsmen who develop crossbows will be rewarded according to the rules!" Fei Qian ordered, and then smiled at Fei Zhen and said, "How about it? Is it fun and interesting? Then write a review...
…Not much, just eight hundred words...』
Fei Zhen: "Uh..."
……(?￣?￣?)……
Longyou.
The large tent in the Beigong was already full of people with Qiang heads, big and small...
Beigong's eyes were always half-closed and half-opened. There seemed to be a lot of things swirling in them, but it seemed like there was nothing there, just accumulating strength.
Many times, when people later look at history, there is always a group of people who will sneer at those who struggled in history, saying that these people are idiots, idiots, short-sighted and have no foresight, even if they have the opportunity to stand in front of them.
Next to the winner, there are those who miss it again and again.
But this small group of people have forgotten that in real history, no one knows which side victory will be until the future arrives, just like people in later generations often feel that "always have firm faith"
』These words are ordinary, but I don’t know what they really mean.
In the military tent, there was only the sound of burning wood in the bonfire. Outside the big tent, the leaves of the Qiang guards' armor were gently clashing. Every sound seemed to hit everyone's heart.
Beigong opened his eyes and slowly looked around at the surrounding Qiang leaders. His expression was indescribably serious, and he somewhat sounded like a leader of the Qiang tribe. "This time... I will only say this once."
,The Han people with the tricolor flag this time are very dangerous and very scary. If we don’t deal with it well..."
Beigong was silent for a moment and looked around again, as if to strengthen the power of his words, "Longyou is no longer our Longyou!"
The Qiang leaders couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and then looked at each other. One Qiang leader scratched his neck, then blinked twice, "Ah? Is it so serious?"
"Yes, aren't the Tricolors messing with their own people? What does it have to do with us?"
"That's right. It's not our fault anyway. If we join in now, isn't that what you call... burning yourself with fire?"
Beigong made a loud sound and slapped the table in front of him with his hand, and then stared at the Qiang leader who just said "burn yourself", his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to use his sight to kill this Qiang leader.
The human-headed man poked thirty or fifty holes.
There was a sudden silence inside the big tent!
Beigong calmed down his breathing, and slowly took his hand back, and then stopped looking at the Qiang-headed man. "You have probably seen rabbits on the grassland. Generally speaking, it is not easy to catch rabbits directly."
, because the rabbit has several holes, but as long as you set up a net at one of the hole entrances, and then smoke at the other hole entrances, the rabbit will obediently run into the net..."
Beigong paused for a moment, allowing the surrounding leaders some time to think, and then continued slowly, "The Han people in the past were all stupid, chasing rabbits, and they got tired after running.
There are no more rabbits, and now the Han people with the tricolor flag... I didn't think clearly at the beginning, but now I understand, they... are blocking the entrance of the cave..."
"Now do you think you should wait for the thick smoke to reach your home before running away, or start moving earlier?" Beigong asked in a deep voice, "You choose for yourself! Should you wait? Or take action?!"
Everyone just looked at each other.
They can all understand the examples Beigong gave, but understanding them does not mean they agree with them. Just like every child has heard many stories and examples since childhood, but not every story and example can be understood.
It will all be helpful to that child.
Is it a story after all...
"But..." A Qiang leader felt that Beigong seemed to be somewhat contradictory, "Didn't you say that before...wait a minute, why do you say now...this or something to block the entrance..."
Beigong took a breath, and then slowly exhaled, "Yes, I told you to wait a while before, because I still couldn't understand it at that time... I thought that the Han people with the tricolor flag were just one head.
A leopard will only capture the weakest sheep...so there is no need to do anything for that weak cow or sheep. Isn't this the case in all desert grasslands?"
"But now it seems that the Han people with the tricolor flag want more than just a cow and sheep..." Beigong gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "It's almost autumn. Normally, the Han people should want
It’s time to prepare for the autumn harvest...right?』
The Qiang leaders in the big tent looked at each other and nodded.
"But now the Han people with the tricolor flag don't care about this matter at all!" Beigong said sternly, "What does this mean? Either the Han people with the tricolor flag are crazy! Or what they are going to do now is worse than this
The harvest on the side is even more important! Then think about it, what is this more important thing? Huh?!』
Everyone fell silent.
Seeing that everyone had nothing else to say, Bei Gong showed a smile on his face, and then began to give instructions bit by bit, arranging the countermeasures he had conceived on the Qiang leaders in the big tent...
After an hour or two, the Qiang heads of various tribes came out of the tents in Beigong. After saying hello to each other, they began to walk back to their own tribes.
"Headman..." A Qiang man asked his leader, "Do we...really want to do this?"
Beigong requested that war preparations start immediately, including war horses, bows and arrows, dry food and other supplies, and then wait for orders at any time. However, just like the Han people have to take care of Zhuanghe before the autumn harvest, the nomads also have many things before the autumn.
At least the hay for the winter is prepared by the whole family together. Therefore, if we put down the things at hand now, we may encounter some troubles for the winter...
The Qiang-headed man looked back in the direction of the Beigong tent, then turned back and laughed twice, "Those things... are what the big guys want... but the big guys don't care what little guys like us want..."
You said we are busy all just to have a bite to eat? If we really want to listen to him, what will we eat?"
"What does that person mean?" the Qiang asked secretly.
"I don't mean anything... I'll listen to whoever can give us enough to eat!" The Qiang-headed man whipped his horse and whipped his horse, "Let's go back quickly! I ran back and forth two or three times for a trivial matter, and all the hay was gone."
