One thousand and sixty one crossbow will be arithmetic
"Don't worry yet..." Zhidu raised his eyes and looked at the Huns who were walking from a distance.
The reason why I use the word "walk" is because they are indeed very slow.
The journey of more than ten miles took at least half an hour, and they were still at least ten miles away from the Han army.
This is also the biggest drawback when driving away cannon fodder.
The cannon fodders are definitely not willing to die in a hurry.
Procrastinate as long as you can, and go as slowly as you can.
Both combat determination and enthusiasm are approximately zero.
Under normal circumstances, cannon fodder tactics are almost impossible to produce results.
but……
Now, when the Huns drove densely packed slaves from the left and right wings and approached the Han army camp.
Many civilians have nervous veins exposed, and even in such a cold winter, they are constantly sweating on their foreheads.
Zhidu looked at the nervous civilians. He knew very well that these people had never seen blood and had no experience.
As long as they can see blood once and win a battle, everyone can become an excellent warrior.
"Han Zhen..." Zhi Du looked at the strong military commander standing on his left and asked: "I heard that Wang Fengzhi, the strong military commander of Xiliu Camp, and Cheng Duwei of Huben Guards,
We collected "Huaiyin Art of War" and "Jiujiang Minutes", and based on arithmetic, compiled a military book called "Strengthening Minutes". Is this possible?"
"Wei!" Han Zhen said respectfully: "For his participation in editing this book, Colonel Wang received a commendation from His Majesty and was moved to the rank of Colonel of the Arsenal!"
If it were now, what would the military nobles and princes of the Han family be most passionate about?
Of course, there is nothing better than writing a book.
Since the advent of white paper, engraving printing has emerged.
Publishing books was very popular in Chang'an.
Regardless of whether they have any goods in their stomachs or not, all the nobles and nobles will write a book and print hundreds of sets to contain it.
Many people even took out their own ancestral military books and published them together.
This is normal.
In China, the most important thing is to establish virtue, the second is to perform meritorious service, and the third is to establish words.
Not to mention, the emperor today strongly supports and encourages his ministers to write books.
The imperial court itself had a large-scale book writing plan.
For example, the "New Nongshu" published two years ago is now a must-read for officials in the Han Dynasty, and is even a designated reading in Gantangzhong, along with poetry books, and the priority is still in "Hong Fan" and "Shang Junshu"
above.
It can be called a guiding textbook for officials and governance.
Among these waves of book writing, the ones that appeared most often were military books.
In the past, the writings of military strategists were about dragon-slaying skills and would not be shown to others.
For example, "Six Tao", "Tai Gong's Art of War", "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Sun Bin's Art of War" are only heard of their names but not seen.
Even the princes may not be able to take a look at it.
However, after the emperor came to the throne, he regarded these military documents as cabbage.
He printed and published all the classics of these sages, and one printing produced thousands of copies.
Then, the young master threw them away.
As long as you have a title of nobility or above, a military position above Sima, a rank above six hundred shi, or a scholar who has entered the second round of examinations, you can buy a copy and read it at home.
In an instant, the art of war was ruined.
Almost all military aristocrats have a whole cabinet of military skills at their disposal.
The unique military book, which once had a status comparable to the "Yi Jin Jing" in martial arts novels, has suddenly made its way into the homes of ordinary people.
Among the Han army, there were also many people who wrote books to claim credit.
For example, within the Yulin Guards and Huben Guards of the emperor's personal guards, officers at the level of Sima Colonel, when they have nothing to do, they like to get together to discuss and deduce the methods of using troops, and then write them down in a booklet.
Some of these booklets are only circulated internally and are only suitable for use and study by the Habayashi Guards and Huben Guards.
For example, the famous "Breastplate Minutes" has never been seen by anyone except the breastplate officers. Even if they have seen it, many people can't understand it.
As for the "Records of Forced Rebellion" mentioned by Zhidu, it belongs to a type of modern art of war that has spread widely.
Basically, all the military officers who trained in Wuyuan learned from it.
It has even become a required book for Japanese military officers.
This book starts from experience, combat examples and the existing equipment of the Han army, uses mathematics as the latitude and longitude, and summarizes the powerful long-range projection strike method with formulas.
Theoretically, as long as you read this book thoroughly, you can become a qualified military officer.
So much so that an old officer who had been stationed at the Great Wall for more than ten years lamented after seeing this book: "I have been working hard and sleeping for more than ten years, but it is not as good as a thin piece of paper!"
So much so that more than a dozen veteran military officers jointly wrote a letter to Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, requesting that this book be banned or at least controlled within a certain range.
Otherwise, ‘from now on, violence will be reduced to technology’.
However, Zhou Yafu simply ignored these people's wails.
He even listed the "Records of Rape" as a book in Wuyuan's collection and gave it to all Wuyuan students, saying, "Every martial artist must read it."
Zhi has heard of all these.
He had even read the "Records of Rape", but he was not born in the Archery Corps, so he lacked sensitivity to the examples and formulas cited in the book.
But at this moment, Zhidu really wanted to see the legendary Thousand Arrows.
He said to Han Zhen: "I once heard that the emperor praised Qiang and said: If a bowman can do mathematics, it will be difficult for him to become an immortal! I don't know if this is true!"
Han Zhen raised her head proudly and said, "That's His Majesty Miao Zan..." But the proud look between her eyebrows could no longer be concealed.
"So, Lieutenant Han, how many of our army's generals and assistants have studied the "Records of Rape and Rape" and can be regarded as 'commanders'?" Zhidu asked.
"Report to the general..." Han Zhen bowed slightly and replied: "According to the minutes, every piece of music must have a conductor, and the conductor must be a sage who is good at arithmetic! In any battle, the conductor first measures the distance between the enemy and ourselves.
Then Gian Guan measured the wind speed, and then calculated the enemy's speed...then all the arrows were fired, covering the enemy's formation!"
"At the end of the day, a general is incapable of talent, but if he has gained a little bit in arithmetic, he can serve as a commander!"
"Colonel Han of the Huben Guards is also talented in arithmetic and can be a commander!"
"Zhang Sima of the Ba army is very good at arithmetic and can be a commander..."
………………
Han Zhen announced the names of more than a dozen people in succession, which made Zhi secretly shocked.
In the past, if you wanted to command an army of thousands of archers in combat, the general had to be in the ranks. Shen Ke spent more than ten years accumulating experience and understanding the performance of each type of archery machine before he could be effective in wartime.
Guide the army to target and attack the enemy.
Even so, many people, even if they have been playing the game for a lifetime, often experience the embarrassment of shooting arrows during battle, but not hitting the enemy.
Therefore, the Han's archers were once reduced to a means of blocking and delaying the enemy in the face of the high-speed maneuvering Huns cavalry.
It is no longer the strategic decisive battle arm of the Warring States Period.
However……
Now, there is no need to spend more than ten years or even a lifetime to accumulate experience.
It seems that as long as military officers are good at mathematics, have quick reactions, and have a loud voice, they can command an army of thousands or even tens of thousands to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
No wonder those veterans and ministers are nagging about this.
If it were any other person, if they encountered such a situation, I'm afraid it would be difficult to calm down.
After all, a lifetime of hard work is not worth one or two years of arithmetic study by the next generation.
but……
Everyone knows very well that this is a historical necessity.
Times are progressing and history is developing.
It is an inevitable trend to replace old and decayed things with new and better things. (To be continued.)
