Chapter 140: Shield Defense and Bow Shooting Tactics
Early in the morning, outside Guangling City, Beifu Military Camp.
A trace of white fish belly just appeared on the horizon, and the playground of the barracks was already filled with sergeants from various battalions and teams. Although they all looked like they were yawning constantly and lacked sleep, under the command and scolding of the general's guards, they had already
Formed into the same formation as yesterday, these newly enlisted peasants know that this kind of army training is to hone their formation skills, and maintaining formation and discipline is the first priority on the battlefield.
Yesterday, the chief officers of each battalion and team made explanations with military sticks and whips.
Liu Yu was still standing at the head of the fifth row. Liu Jingxuan was three positions away from him, in the same row. Just like yesterday, Tan Pingzhi and the Wei brothers were also in this row. These people who came from Jingkou were obviously
They are stronger than the people from other places, and their height and strength are obviously stronger. Therefore, more than half of this queue of more than 40 people are fellow Jingkou people. These people are even more in awe of Liu Yu. They have long been
Considered a captain.
Sweat flowed down Liu Yu's face. This autumn is very strange. There is a cool breeze in Jingkou in the south of the Yangtze River, but the sun is scorching in Guangling in the north of the Yangtze River. Although it is just early morning, there is no tree shade in this camp.
, tens of thousands of men themselves are tens of thousands of big sources of heat. When they are close together and exposed to the rising sun, everyone is sweating. This is much harder than carrying a hoe to work in the fields.
.
Sun Wuzhong was still wearing a piece of armor with his hands behind his back, but today he had a short stick painted black and red in his hand. It seemed that he was going to enforce military law on people at any time, or correct his position.
posture.
Sun Wuzhong walked to Liu Yu's row. When he passed in front of Xiang Jing, he frowned slightly and stopped: "What are you standing at?"
Tieniu's left shoulder sank a little, and his posture looked strange. He grinned: "General, I am used to carrying burdens in my hometown, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Sun Wuzhong suddenly flashed a cold light in his eyes and struck out with a stick. Xiang Jing (Tieniu) was caught off guard and was hit directly in the stomach. He groaned and collapsed in pain until
On the ground.
Sun Wuzhong said sternly: "Asshole! Formation is not farming. Don't you know that your slumped shoulders are meant to hold a shield? What you are holding a shield to protect is not yourself, but your companions around you. Look,
Here!" 22
As he spoke, he stood above Xiang Jing's position. The two guards on one side immediately took a thick wooden shield more than three feet high and one and a half feet wide, as well as a six or seven foot long spear with a spearhead.
Wrapped in thick cloth to prevent injury.
Sun Wuzhong took the big shield and placed it in front of him. Half of it blocked his left chest, and the other half completely covered the right half of Tan Pingzhi next to him. He said loudly: "See
No, the way to hold a shield on the battlefield is to block your own left half, and also block the right side of your companions up to their thighs. This is the step formation shield method!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head to the sky, and the big shield suddenly went over his head, completely covering his head under the shield: "This is the method of raising the shield to prevent arrows. When the enemy's bows and arrows attack,
Only by building a shield wall over your head can you survive!"
Xiang Jing on the other side blinked and suddenly raised his hand and clenched his fist. This is what Sun Wuzhong said yesterday. If you have something to say while marching, you must raise your hand first.
Sun Wuzhong curled his lips and said, "Speak!"
Tie Niu asked curiously: "Don't these bows and arrows shoot people from the front? Why does the general have to raise his head above his head to block the arrow? Can the enemy fly to the sky and shoot arrows?"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall burst into laughter, led by Liu Jingxuan. Many people fell forward and backward with laughter, while those who did not know the situation looked at these people laughing with blank faces.
Sun Wuzhu stood there coldly, and after all the laughter subsided, he slowly said: "I don't know, I will explain here that not everyone can face the enemy head-on on the battlefield.
Those who fight are just like you now. This building is divided into five rows, that is, five teams. Only the front team can fight with the enemy. They hold spears and stab each other with the enemy. Generally speaking,
After a moment of hard work, you have to rotate, with people in the back row replacing those in the front row, while the fighters in the front row have to step back to maintain their strength."
"But under normal circumstances, apart from spears and stabbings, bows and arrows are the most powerful weapons on the battlefield. You must know that shooting arrows on the battlefield is not the usual way you shoot rabbits and deer in the mountains. It is not the kind of aiming.
An arrow hits the target, but like this!"
As he spoke, he took a big bow from a guard beside him, strung an arrow, and moved his legs forward and backward, forming a staggered step. His front legs were stretched forward and the knees of his hind legs were slightly open. Liu Yu could see clearly.
, this is a lunge stance, which can effectively increase waist strength, draw a stronger bow, and shoot the arrow farther.
Sun Wuzhong's big bow looks like it weighs about four stones, and each stone weighs about one hundred and twenty kilograms. In other words, to draw this strong bow, it takes almost five hundred kilograms of strength, and the bow usually used by excellent hunters
The bow is only about two stones at most.
Even Tan Pingzhi, who was good at bows and arrows, nodded secretly when he saw this. Obviously, Sun Wuzhong's move showed his strength in bows and arrows.
Sun Wuzhong shouted in a deep voice: "Watch it!" He bowed like a full moon, pulled the buckle with three fingers, and pulled the two bowstrings twisted together with animal sinews to the right side of his face, and suddenly let go, only to hear "
With a "swish" sound, a long arrow with four tail feathers on the string soared into the sky, drew a high and long arc, and landed a hundred steps away, stuck in the sand.
, as if shaking from the arrow shaft.
Everyone burst out in exclamation: "Wow, that's amazing!"
"General Sun is so powerful and mighty!"
Sun Wuzhong had no expression on his face amidst the praise. He threw the bow to the sergeant aside and said, "Did you see that this bow and arrow shoot like this on the battlefield? It shoots in a curve towards the sky. As long as your
If the power is strong enough, the bow and arrow can be shot fast enough and far enough, and it can bypass the soldiers fighting in front and hit the enemy's head!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the hard leather armor and leather helmets worn by the new recruits, and said: "The armor you are wearing cannot protect against the enemy's spears and bayonets. You must protect against them."
, mainly bows and arrows. If you are shot to death by bows and arrows before engaging the enemy, wouldn’t it be a big loss? Therefore, on the battlefield, the most lethal weapons are bows and arrows, and the most defensive weapons are shields. Do you understand?
