please make me king

Chapter 1302 Tactics
"Your Highness, fortunately, our mission was fulfilled. Our army beheaded more than a hundred Tartars, and won thirty-seven heads and thirteen sets of armor!" Yang Chengzu was covered with arrows all over his body, and he couldn't even bow down to salute.

"Wang Sun, are you alright?" Zhang Shun couldn't help being startled, and asked quickly to help him up.

Of course he knew that this guy deliberately didn't take off the arrow, just to show off his bravery in front of him.

Is it really okay to hit so many arrows at once?
"Grandpa, I'm fine!" Just as Zhang Shun finished speaking, unexpectedly Yang Chengzu answered a witty remark, which made everyone burst into laughter.

It turns out that Yang Chengzu was born in a poor military family in Yansui, and he never went to school, so he has no name.

Later, when he saw that other people had characters, he became arty and asked Zhang Shun for a character.

Zhang Shunshun gave him the word "Wang Sun" according to the meaning of "Chengzu".

As a result, as soon as this word came out, a group of ignorant people made fun of it: "Wang Sun, Wang Sun, you are so inferior now, don't you want to call His Highness King Shun Grandpa?"

"Grandpa is grandpa, His Royal Highness King Shun is my grandpa, and I am your grandpa!" Yang Chengzu glared, and simply said "to die together".

In the past, these remarks were just a joke in private.

Everyone never expected that this guy would be so perverse, and he actually told everyone's private jokes.

Sure enough, Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, and then couldn't help laughing and scolding: "This king is not so old, you want to be a grandson, old... I don't want to be a grandfather yet!"

After speaking, Zhang Shun personally disarmed him.

Yang Chengzu approved a well-made dark blue cotton armor outside, and Zhang Shun took it off for him to take a look, only to see that the inside was mostly soaked with sweat, and many pieces of the armor were nailed through. There was still blood on the arrowhead that passed by.

Zhang Shun hurriedly took a closer look, and saw that the chain mail worn by Yang Chengzu had also been pierced in several places, with blood stains looming at the breach.

He quickly helped him take off the chain mail, leaving only the inner lining to prevent the "wind of armor removal".

Only then did we uncover the damage and take a closer look, only to see three or four wounds pierced by arrows, some of which were still dripping with blood, and some of which had already scabbed over.

"What a powerful arrow!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but frowned, and called a nurse to clean Yang Chengzu's wound.

He is no longer the young man who knew nothing back then, and he also has some understanding of the lethality of arrows in this era.

The battle bows commonly used by the Ming army are generally around three to six strengths, while the bows used immediately are generally between three and four strengths, so it is impossible to have such a large lethality.

"Qing Gong?" Suddenly, Zhang Shun remembered a "big killer" in his previous life.

"What Qing Gong?" Yang Chengzu was confused when he heard it, he thought that Zhang Shun didn't understand, so he couldn't help explaining.

"The bows they use are also made of Kaiyuan bows. They are only used by infantry. They are powerful and heavy, so they can penetrate armor."

"Looking at the length and weight of the arrow, it should be between eight and ten!"

In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the method of measuring bows and arrows was to use nine catties and one fourteen taels as one force.

If the elites of the Hou Jin army were as Yang Chengzu said, they would all be men of one hundred pounds.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but be shocked: "How... how could there be such an elite?"

There are many good shooters in the Rebel Army and the Ming Army. If you choose carefully, you might not be able to organize such an elite army.

It's just that after looking at the fact that the Jin Army can dispatch so many troops so easily, there must be a lot of them at a hundred pounds.

"King Shun, please forgive me!" At this moment, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but stepped forward.

"The maker of the so-called Kaiyuan bow originated from the old place of Kaiyuan, and it is also occupied by the Eastern captives today!"

"The land is cold and the people are miserable, and they live by herding, fishing, hunting, and farming. The folk customs are strong and powerful, so they are good at Kaiyuan bows, especially the savage Jurchen."

"Since the Jurchen rebellion in Jianzhou, the eastern barbarian, there have been many wars with China, and Ding Zhuang has suffered a lot. Therefore, Hong Tai has conquered the savage Jurchen many times and captured Ding Zhuang as a soldier."

"What General Yang encountered today was the Jurchen, a savage captured by Gai Donglu, so his bow is strong and his arrows sharp."

"Ming generals always rely on their strength to be brave and take the lead, so many perish..."

"Wait, wait a minute, let me stroke it." Zhang Shun listened, and interrupted quickly.

"First of all, what does the old place of Kaiyuan mean?"

"The old place of Kaiyuan, that is, Kaiyuan Road in Yuan Dynasty." Sun Chuanting was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he realized that Zhang Shun had never been learned or skilled, so he couldn't help explaining.

""Yuan Yi Tong Zhi" said: "The mountain of Changbai in the south, the sea of ​​Jingchuan in the north, the old country of the three capitals, the old city of the five countries, and the city of the Northeast."

What do you mean?

According to the "Yuanyi Tongzhi", Kaiyuan Road extends from Changbai Mountain in the south to the Sea of ​​Japan in the north, roughly including the three eastern provinces of later generations and the outer northeast area.

Therefore, the "Kaiyuan Bow" in the Ming Dynasty is actually the collective name for the bows and arrows of the "East Hu family" in the Northeast.

This kind of bow and arrow is not only used by the Ming army, but also used by Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, Savage Jurchen, and even the Mongols in the east. It is not special in the eyes of Ming people.

For Ming people, the most troublesome thing is not one or two weapons, but the people who use them.

"What about the savage Jurchen? What do you mean?" Zhang Shun turned into a curious elementary school student and couldn't help asking.

"According to the "Da Ming Hui Dian": there are three types of Gai Jurchen, who live in Haixi, and those who live in other places are Haixi Jurchen, and those who live in Jianzhou and Mao Lian are Jianzhou Jurchen. Outside each guard, there are ground, There are stations, there are villages, and officials are granted honors, just like the system of three guards. In the extreme east, there are savages and women, and the savages and women go to China (Central Plains) far away, and tribute is not frequent."

It turns out that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, due to the destructive rule of the Mongols over the Northeast, the original state system was completely destroyed, leaving only various low-civilized tribes.

According to their geographical location and civilization level, the Ming Dynasty divided them into three categories: Haixi Jurchen, Jianzhou Jurchen, and Savage Jurchen.

Among them, Jianzhou Jurchen was the "Five Kingdoms Department" in the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and later developed into the current Donglu Headquarters.

The Haixi Jurchen is the Jurchen tribe of Haixi (Songhua River Basin), which later developed into four tribes: Hada, Wula, Yehe, and Huifa Haixi, and was later annexed by the old slave Jianzhou Jurchen.

The so-called "savage Jurchen" refers to the fishing and hunting tribe north of the Haixi Jurchen, the most famous of which is the "Sauron Tribe" called by Hou Jin.

Although these "savage Jurchens" are less civilized, they have the advantages of being brave and good at fighting, and fearless of death.

Originally, according to the general law of historical development, these "barbarian tribes" fought, although they had a strong impact, but due to the backwardness of social development, both weapons and equipment and organizational level were far lower than that of "civilized society", so they often did not fight. into climate.

However, after these "unpromising" "savage Jurchens" were plundered by Houjin and made slaves, they were lured for profit, given armor and sharp blades, and then drove them into "dead soldiers".

In all battles, "the dead soldiers are in the front, and the sharp soldiers are behind. The dead soldiers wear heavy armor, ride two horses, charge forward, even though they are dead in the front, they return to the front, and dare not retreat. If they retreat, the sharp soldiers will kill them from behind. Wait for the impulse Let's fight, and then the sharp soldiers will take advantage of it to win."

This kind of team, which combined the dual advantages of "civilized society" organization and the impact of "barbaric tribes", gained a huge advantage in the war against the Ming army as soon as it appeared, so that it was unstoppable after successive victories.

Zhang Shun listened to Sun Chuanting's narration for a while, and immediately felt that it was difficult.

"Courage in battle", not to mention that in this era of alternating "cold and hot", even in the [-]th century later, the Zulus were still able to rely on a firm charge to wipe out thousands of British troops equipped with breech-loading rifles. Not to mention Zhang Shun's army in the "semi-cold and half-hot" era.

"Then how would the Ming army deal with Donglu's tactics?" Zhang Shun pondered for a moment, regardless of whether it was reliable or not, he first learned from the Ming army.

"Without him, the firearms and chariot can be controlled!" Sun Chuanting was silent for a long time, but shook his head in response.

Hearing that, Zhang Shun immediately thought, Ma Maipi!
Why do you think, because Zhang Shun remembered another weapon specially aimed at chariots—the Hongyi Cannon!
No wonder the Ming army suffered repeated defeats!
Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but suddenly realized.

It turns out that in addition to driving the "dead soldiers" into the formation, Houjin still had a large number of red barbarian cannons available.

If you imitate the Ming army's "firearms chariot" tactics, you will either be bombarded by its red cannons, or thrown into the wind by one of its riders.
