Chapter 131 Comparable to Guan Ning Iron Cavalry
"Give me a bow and a horse!"

The fourth child said confidently, after hearing this, a soldier brought over a horse, this horse was the most uncooperative among the group of horses, the wildest, and the bow was more difficult to handle, but at this moment Li Debao He came over and gave the compound bow in his hand to the fourth child: "Use mine."

At the same time, another soldier had already set up archery targets on the horse, one on the left and one on the left, and placed them 50 meters away.

At this time, the fourth child jumped on the horse, as expected of a horse rider all the year round, just this one, you can see the difference between him and the others, very light, at this time the fourth child took the compound bow and said to Li Debao :"Thanks."

Immediately afterwards, he said to another soldier: "Brother, please help me get the quiver."

Said that the fourth child directly took out two arrows from the quiver, one in his mouth and the other on the bowstring, at this time the fourth child patted the horse's buttocks and said, "Drive!"

Just a moment later, the horse started to run. At this time, the fourth child was sitting on the horse's back, his legs firmly clamped the horse's body, and then his body rose and fell with the horse's running, achieving the same frequency as the horse.

In this way, he and the horse are not in a state of confrontation, but a state of interdependence. In this way, the horse and man work together and send their strength to one place, almost reaching the legendary state of unity of man and horse.

At this time, the horse was galloping fast, and the fourth child directly bent his bow and set an arrow at a target 50 meters away, and shot at a target [-] meters away.

"Good bow!"

The fourth child said excitedly, this compound bow is powerful, it doesn't take much effort to shoot fifty paces, at this time the fourth child shouted to the soldiers guarding near the target: "Take it far away."

Hearing this, the soldier immediately took the target to a distance of seventy steps, which is already the limit of ordinary bows and arrows, but at this moment, the fourth child took down the bow and arrow in his mouth, and followed the bent bow to set the arrow, with a snap Hit the bullseye again.

"Good archery!"

Li Debao couldn't help but praise him, he and Li Dezhen are the best in archery in the entire army camp, but they still have some difficulty in making them shoot so accurately on horseback, this time it can be said that the fourth brother has shown their archery skills.

What was even more surprising was the dissatisfied soldiers just now, good guy, this horse seems to have a spirituality, why didn't he fall off when he opened his bow like this?
They have personally tried the difficulty of leaving their hands on the bare horse's back. Not to mention hitting the target, it is difficult to do it even if they shoot left and right. Look at them, the ass seems to grow on the horse, which makes you dissatisfied No way, good riding, good archery!

"Go further, one hundred steps, not 120 steps!"

The fourth child seemed to be addicted to playing. At this moment, he let out a loud cry, and rode up to the soldier with the quiver, stretched out his hand and drew two bows and arrows. At this time, the soldier who set the target had reached 120 paces, about 100 A distance of one meter away, the target was placed.

At this time, the fourth child aimed at the target, bent his bow and set the arrow, and hit the target again with a bang, but it was not in the bull's-eye. It seemed that the distance of 120 steps was a bit reluctant, but the fourth child was shocked by the bow. The distance of 120 steps is still easy, so what is the limit of this bow?

The fourth child was thinking about the last arrow, and the fourth child directly stretched the bowstring to the empty forest in the distance, and then the fourth child found that even if the bowstring was fully drawn, it didn't take much effort, it was really a precious bow.

call out……

One arrow was shot, and the next moment, it flew two hundred steps directly, and the bow and arrow pierced a tree with a snap, penetrating three points.

The effective range of this compound bow is between 150 meters and 200 meters, which is already very impressive among all bows and arrows. However, this compound bow is not the most powerful compound bow. The most powerful compound bow is equipped with a scope. Yes, and the structure is complex. It is said that one arrow can shoot four to five hundred meters. It can be said to be a sniper rifle in the bow.

However, that kind of bow is very expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars per bow, and it is not suitable for large-scale coverage of the army. After all, at this price, if the number of people is too large, Li Chaosheng will go bankrupt. Even if it is the benefits for these coaches, such as Li Dezhen, Li Debao, who is better at shooting, and Li Chaohu.

Li Chaosheng thought, at this time the fourth child had already got off the horse, and followed Li Chaosheng with piercing eyes.

"Battalion Commander! This bow, this bow, you must find a way to distribute one to each of our cavalry. With this, the combat effectiveness of our cavalry can at least be doubled, no, twice."

The fourth child is very excited. This kind of long-range bow and arrow is simply a magic weapon for their cavalry. Cavalry cavalry can kite infantry, but they have no advantage against other cavalry. It can only be said who can shoot the arrow accurately and who can shoot first. Despite these factors, if equipped with this kind of bow, the shooting range is almost double that of ordinary bows and arrows.

Think about what kind of scene this is, that is, we can kite not only infantry, but also kite cavalry. When two groups of cavalry meet, one of them starts shooting at 150 meters, and they can hit each other. Then the opponent must be effective at 80 meters. Shoot at range.

What about the distance of 80 meters in the middle?They need to ride horses to approach, but don't forget that we are also cavalry. If you push the horses to approach, we will retreat, keep a distance from you, and then shoot you. If you run, we will chase and shoot you.

If the number of people is the same, it is massacre. If the number is slightly smaller than the opponent, it is called crushing. , otherwise it would not be crushed by the opponent's cavalry.

It can be said that this bow is equipped with cavalry, and its power is absolutely beyond imagination. After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "Okay, each of you cavalry has one."

Hearing this, the fourth child grinned and said, "Thank you battalion commander, I promise to bring out the most powerful cavalry for the battalion commander!"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng patted the fourth brother on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I believe you."

As the two talked, the rest of the cavalrymen who were not selected were also convinced. The fourth brother conquered them with his superb archery skills. He rode without a saddle and could shoot left and right, which really shocked everyone, including Li Chaosheng.

A person like Lao Si, even in ancient times, could be called a general with a good bow and horse.

You must know that there are no saddles like this, and there is no such thing as riding a horse to fight in ancient times. For example, in the Qin Dynasty, the cavalry did not have stirrups and saddles. Basically, he can be a general, at least a centurion, or a thousand commander.

So at that time, chariots were used for fighting, and people were allowed to sit on the chariot to fight. Later, stirrups and saddles became popular, and the flexibility of this chariot was too poor, so it was gradually cancelled, and cavalry appeared.

Therefore, skills like the fourth one can be regarded as a general in the Qin Dynasty. The so-called proficiency in bow and horse is nothing more than that.

The fourth, Li Chaosheng admired it very much, so after the first selection, according to what the fourth said, 13 people remained. As for the gap, Li Chaosheng thought about it and decided to discuss it with Li Chaolong, conscription!

Li Chaosheng, the fourth brother, Li Chaolong, and the third brother Li Chaofeng entered the meeting room. In the meeting room, Li Chaosheng said with a wry smile: "Among my more than 100 elite soldiers, I only picked out thirteen usable people. Four, your selection of soldiers is too strict, right?"

Li Chaosheng said, and the fourth child heard this and said: "Battlemaster, in fact, the cavalry I selected is indeed stricter. This selection method is the method for selecting elite cavalry in the army. 21 people are considered qualified, and even some who were eliminated in the first round have passed, but we only have [-] horses now, and if we want to form them, we need to form an elite cavalry that will scream for battle."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at the fourth child and asked, "How loud is it?"

The fourth child heard this and said: "If you encounter the same number of Guanning iron cavalry or Tartar elite cavalry, if you are equipped with the bow and arrow I use today, you can even win and annihilate them~"

Guanning cavalry, one of the few troops capable of fighting tough battles in the late Ming Dynasty, with a total number of 3 troops, was formed by the famous Ming Dynasty general Sun Chengzong, and was later taken over by Wu Sangui. It was Wu Sangui's biggest trump card.

The Guanning iron cavalry can be said to be a legend. It has galloped on the battlefield for decades, from Liaodong to BJ, from BJ to Qinshu, from Qinshu to Yunnan, from Yunnan to Myanmar, and then turned back from Myanmar to Yunnan, and killed BJ.

For decades, this cavalry has killed Mongolian princes, defeated the Eight Banners Guards, assassinated Dorgon, chased and killed Li Zicheng, and captured Zhang Xianzhong. The clansmen who won the world were timid to fight. Kangxi once ordered that the Eight Banners cavalry and Guanning cavalry were not allowed to fight in the field. We can see the horror of this army.

Almost all tough battles have been fought, but here is a correction, the Guanning Iron Cavalry is not a pure cavalry, but a mixed infantry, so although it is said to be 3 people, there are a lot of infantry, because according to the Guanning Iron Cavalry It is too difficult to choose a method to form a 3 pure cavalry.

But even so, this army was feared by a few Qing people, no, it was a feared army. Yang Sichang once wrote a letter: Among the Liaodong tribes, I am the only Guanning, Shima, and a brigade. "

It means that in the whole of Liaodong, he depends on Guan Ning's cavalry being able to use it, obeying orders, and being able to deal with emergencies at any time, where the danger lies.

After hearing what the fourth child said, Li Chaosheng thought to himself, with the same number and equipped with compound bows, Guan Ning's iron cavalry can also win. Isn't this a special cavalry?

After thinking about it, Li Chaosheng felt that the cavalry selected by this standard really met the requirements of special cavalry.

The fourth child said proudly: "Battalion Commander, I'm not boasting. The cavalry selected according to my requirements have been trained. Each of them can have the same riding and archery skills as me. I'm not bragging about you. In Lantian County , our Horse Thieves Gang, relying on five people, dare to call out to those big forces with four to five hundred people, the fight is nothing but our riding and archery skills."

The fourth child said with a hint of pride on his face, and Li Chaosheng was a little convinced at this time. Everyone knew about the Horse Thieves Gang, and its influence in Lantian was unprecedented. Five people could make Heilongzhai fearful and dare not take it easy. If it weren't for the death of Guo Shanbao, which angered Pan Shanlong, Pan Shanlong wouldn't be able to make up his mind to wipe out the horse bandits.

Moreover, disgraceful means were used in the process, such as ambushing the Horse Thieves Gang, which is also helpless. If there is no ambush and try to dismount the Horse Thieves Gang, this battle will not be fought at all. The Horse Thieves Gang can kite The people of Black Dragon Village died.

Li Chaosheng was a little excited at this time, if he had a cavalry of 30 men, each like the fourth child, then he would be awesome, fighting in the field, kite to death.

Great, great, Li Chaosheng thought, then looked at the fourth child and said, "Yes, your training strategy is right, what we want is elite cavalry, but now we only select 15 people, there are still [-] more A personal gap."

That's right, there are still [-] people missing, why, because among the thirty horses, there is still one for the fourth and third.

After hearing this, the fourth child and the third child looked at each other, and then stopped talking. It is none of our business that there are not enough people.

Li Chaosheng thought about it, then looked at Li Chaolong who was beside him and said: "First company commander, I want to promote you to an official position."

After hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "Battlefield Commander, you want to be promoted yourself, right?"

Li Chaolong said, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Almost, I plan to expand the first company of our security army into the first battalion of the security army, the number of people is tentatively set at 300, so we may have to recruit nearly [-] new recruits. "

Hearing this, Li Chaolong frowned slightly and said, "Battle Commander, I'm afraid our Li family won't be able to produce 100 young adults. We can produce [-] at most. If there are more, there will be no one to grow the crops in the field."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng frowned slightly. Indeed, if there are another 200 people, the old Li family is really not enough. The Li family only has more than 1000 clansmen. If there are [-] soldiers, it will be one of the three, but this There are old people, women, and children among the three, and none of these can serve as soldiers. If these people are really drawn out, there will be no strong men in the Li family.

What will happen to the crops at that time?Encountered a fierce battle and everyone died, wouldn't the Li family's vitality be seriously injured? Li Chaolong disagreed with consuming all of the Li family's heritage in order to become an army.

Li Chaosheng frowned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "What the company commander said makes sense, but soldiers must still be recruited. This way, the recruitment restrictions will be expanded. Except for members of the Li family, people with other surnames can participate, such as The Wang family, their number is about the same as ours, it should not be difficult for them to send out a hundred soldiers."

After hearing this, Li Chaolong said: "That's okay. Besides, our security forces protect the entire Tanggou Town. The Wang family can't just watch and not show it. Okay, this trick will work."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "That's it, spread the news, the security army recruits soldiers, covering the entire Tanggou Town, the treatment is the same as the old members, food and housing are in charge, each person is given 120 catties of food per month .”

"Yes, I'll do it now!" Li Chaolong replied.
