I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 844 Oriole
What do you mean by shooting sound?That is the crossbowmen unit.

He is the Sima appointed by the Han family, and the Sima of the Northern Army, who belongs to the Shesheng Battalion.

Of course, there are only a thousand soldiers in the Shesheng Battalion, and it's not his turn to lead Zheng Xiaoming.But what Zheng Xiaoming leads is still the regular army of the Han family, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion last year, the emperor Liu Hong ordered a temporary expansion of the army!

These people have experienced more than a year of training, coupled with their excellent equipment, their combat effectiveness is indeed not weak.

Moreover, it can be said that more than half of Zheng Xiaoming's current troops are either archers or crossbowmen. In an instant, the arrows are raining, and they are shot out, causing even greater chaos.

To be honest, the power of a crossbow is actually no stronger than that of an archer.Just like when muskets were just emerging in later generations, they were no match for archers.

Because archers shoot fast, and can also perform the most powerful projectiles.Shoot the arrow into the air and kill the enemy with the acceleration of the fall, even with a shield armor it is difficult to defend.

Crossbowmen can't do it, the winding is very slow, and the strong crossbow has to sit on the ground and use their feet to open the bowstring.Moreover, it is still a direct shot and cannot be projected.

But the crossbow can be charged, as long as it is wound, it can be fired at any time.But the bow and arrow will not work, you have to release it when it is full, or you will not be able to stand it after a long time, and you will be exhausted!
Of course, this is not the most important thing.Best of all, crossbowmen are easy to train!
It is difficult to train a qualified archer without a few years.

But crossbowmen, as long as they have a lot of strength and can string the crossbow, they can go to the battlefield after a few days of casual training!

This is also the reason why muskets replaced bows and arrows in later generations... In the beginning, muskets were not as powerful as bows and arrows, with short range and slow speed.That is, it is easy to train.

So eventually the musket replaced the bow!

The Han Dynasty was also normal, with the large-scale use of crossbows, even in the Shesheng Battalion, there were more crossbowmen than archers...

It can also be seen that although the Shesheng Battalion is the imperial army of the Northern Army, the level of training is very average!
There is no way, the soldiers of the Northern Army are all recruited, and many times the father dies and the son succeeds, and the money is used to buy them...that is to say, there are too many things like paying money to serve as soldiers in the Northern Army.The soldiers can't be guaranteed, and they are stationed in Luoyang, a world of flowers and flowers. It's hell to see how high the combat effectiveness is.

That is to say, the chaos of the Yellow Turban last year was rectified, otherwise the combat power of the Northern Army would be even worse now!

However, although Zheng Xiaoming's Shesheng Battalion's combat effectiveness is mediocre, they are well equipped!Since it belongs to the Habayashi Forbidden Army, the equipment is naturally the best among big men.

Now he just shoots those Qianghus who are running away in chaos, without any psychological pressure, just shoot the bow and arrow, but it shows a hundred and twenty percent fighting power.Shoot that arrow like rain.

On the contrary, it was Zheng Xiaoming who caused the most damage...

In any era, long-range firepower is the most frightening!
Especially for unprotected targets, these arrows are like the scythe of death, easily able to harvest life.The sharp arrows can easily shoot through the leather robes worn by Qianghu people and the muscles under the robes, and shoot into their soft internal organs.

Seeing the turmoil of the Qiang and Hu people expanding further, even Zhang Wen, the chief general in Meiyang County, and Zhou Shen, the bandit general who set up a camp outside the city and forming a corner with the county, all had the same thoughts. Do you want to take the opportunity to launch a general offensive and give these Qianghu rebels a hard time.

However, at this moment, the sound of horn horns on the battlefield was suddenly heard, and the Qiang Hus in the south of the city suddenly stepped aside, and saw a large flag with the character "North" fluttering, and thousands of cavalry suddenly rushed towards Commander Zheng Xiaoming from behind. The Sonic Battalion launched a charge.

This cavalry is much more organized, and its equipment is much better than that of ordinary Qianghu people!Although it is impossible for everyone to wear harness, almost everyone has armor to wear.

The Han Dynasty attached great importance to military equipment, even if the standing army of the Eastern Han Dynasty was pitifully small.However, the number of weapons and equipment stored in the arsenals of various places is extremely large.Later generations unearthed a Han Dynasty arsenal, and the amount of military supplies stored in it was jaw-dropping.

The land of Liangzhou has been fighting Qianghu all year round, even more so!

This Qianghu rebellion in Liangzhou has captured many states and counties and robbed many arsenals.

It's no wonder that most of these Qianghu cavalry are equipped with iron armor!

Zhang Wen on the top of the city saw such a scene, his face changed slightly: "Beigongbi!"

The other officers of the Han army also changed their colors when they saw this banner, because this Beigongbi was exactly Beigong Boyu, the leader of the Qiang rebels in Liangzhou.

That Beigong is a compound surname, and Boyu is a character.What is its specific name, no one knows in later generations! (Bei Gongbi was compiled by the author!

Ancient characters are often the interpretation of names.For example, Zhang Fei's word is Yide, and Yide is the interpretation of Fei.Guan Yu's word is Yunchang, and Yunchang is the interpretation of Yu. )
The word Boyu obviously implies that his name must be related to jade.And Bo means big, so it is named after the wall among the six jade vessels in Zhou Rites.

Some people said that Beigong Boyu was from Qianghu, but just looking at his name, he knew it was impossible.

Ordinary Qiang and Hu people would not have such a Chinese name, let alone have characters!

This Beigongbi is a well-known celebrity from Jincheng County, Liangzhou...

There is also a saying that Beigong Boyu is a believer in Taiping Dao. In response to the Yellow Turban Uprising led by Zhang Jiao, the leader of Taiping Dao, he launched a rebellion in Liangzhou in conjunction with Xiliang local tyrant Song Yang and others.

This argument is somewhat untenable.

Almost all Taiping Dao believers are restricted to the Hebei and Shandong areas of the Central Plains, and almost all of them are the heartlands of the great Han.Other places are too far away, even places like Guanzhong Chang'an don't have many yellow scarves, how can there be such a remote place as Jincheng County in Liangzhou?
In such an ancient communication environment, contact is impossible!
There is also a place like Liangzhou where the Qiang and Hu are mixed, and there are not many people. The main contradiction is not in the Central Plains, but the contradiction between the poor and the powerful landlords.There will be no living soil for Taipingdao!
To put it bluntly, the Beigong Boyu's rebellion was a rebellion launched by those in Kansai who were dissatisfied with the Kanto and the imperial court taking advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

In fact, one only needs to look at the Liangzhou celebrity Beigong Bibianrang and others who were coerced into joining the gang, and they quickly changed from being coerced to taking the initiative. It can be imagined that the rebellion has a deep foundation in this land of Liangzhou!
In short, at this critical juncture, Bei Gongbi, the leader of the Qianghu rebel army, unexpectedly led two thousand cavalry to attack from behind. Zheng Xiaoming, Sun Jian, Weixian and the three were in danger!

You must know that almost all the celebrities in Liangzhou are good at fighting with soldiers, and they are by no means comparable to those ordinary Qiang Hu who just broke up when they fought!
Just looking at the ingenious timing of Beigongbi's attack, one already knows that this person has earned his reputation in vain!
