Chapter 251 Chariot (please reward and subscribe)

Qin Jian shines brightly under the pale sunshine.

A sheet of silver dots formed a network on the right side of the soldiers' right hands. When the light moved slightly, the military camp was filled with silver light.

Looking at these pairs of living eyes, they all come from all corners of Qin.

Her hair was neatly styled in a bun on the left side, and her plump chest stood proudly.

Everyone was standing on the loess soil, their clothes were covered with dirt, and the air was full of sand and dust.

The expressions on the faces of the soldiers were the same as those of the earth, and the soldiers all bowed their knees to Fusu.

On their faces, Fusu saw respect for himself.

Thinking about it, although I have experienced many twists and turns in my work in the past, many policies were proposed but were not implemented effectively.

But when he saw the respect for him on the faces of these people, Fusu felt at this moment that everything he had done was worth it.

However, this is not a formal military parade.

The official military parade of King Qin was much grander than this.Moreover, military etiquette, as "the etiquette of division and brigade drills and expeditions," is the same as the etiquette of "good luck, bad luck, guest, and good fortune", which are collectively called the five etiquettes.

As a prince, what he owns is too little after all.

Fusu's previous words gave the generals a reassurance.

These generals were also very loyal. Seeing that Fusu promised that all those who guarded the border would have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, they became attentive and took Fusu to check various accounts in the army.

Taking people to wander around the camp, these Qin generals had only done this to Ying Zheng.

Just accompanying Fu Su was no less stressful than accompanying Ying Zheng.

Everyone served carefully, lest they did something wrong or said something wrong, which would make the prince unhappy.

Because Fusu is a very shrewd person at first glance, and his eyes indicate that he has received the true biography of the king.

It is not good to neglect the future king, nor is it good to be too close to him.

In short, after accompanying him on this trip, all the sergeants and soldiers in the army saw it.The soldiers saw that their general was very respectful when facing the prince, and even they themselves were respectful to Fusu.

Everyone took Fusu to the battlefield and saw the soldiers training.

The Qin Sword is of excellent quality. When the soldiers first get it in their hands, few of them can use it smoothly, let alone be able to use the Qin Sword to be invincible on the battlefield.

A group of soldiers are forming a square formation with Qin swords, and there are special soldiers covering them with shields.

This kind of battle formation takes advantage of the Qin Army's Qin sword, which has a hard body and a sharp blade, to expose all the blades to the outside.

The general stood aside with his sword and ordered, "Stab."

Qin Jian, who was originally tightly held in both hands with the hilt placed behind his waist, was thrust forward by the soldiers all at once.

Cheng Liang's sword edge shone with a cold light.

Fusu understood that although the Qin people at this time mainly used swords made of iron, the length of the sword was exactly the length of a sword or a spear.

Moreover, the characteristic of the Qin sword is that instead of wearing a sword as a symbol of status, the Qin sword used on the battlefield has a very long hilt, which is as long as an arm.

This kind of design is naturally designed to penetrate farther on the battlefield.Just by seeing such a long sword blade and seeing these tall and strong adult men from the Qin State, one can imagine the bloody scene of the confrontation between the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield.

Later, these soldiers personally took Fusu to see Qin's chariots.

The chariots of the Qin State, like the etiquette of the Qin State, were basically copied and gradually inherited and improved from the Zhou Dynasty.

3000 years ago, in the Battle of Muye, the key to the Zhou coalition's ability to defeat the merchant army with a small number and defeat the merchant army was the chariot.

The chariot of the Zhou Dynasty had three soldiers guarding the front, left and right positions respectively. In the middle was the charioteer, on the left was the general holding a bow and arrow, and on the right was the guard holding a three-meter-long sword or spear.

With a three-meter-long sword or spear, as long as the guard rotates his arm, he can injure several people in one breath.

Pulled by four horses, the chariot reached a speed of 120 six feet per hour.Converted in modern units, that's 21 kilometers per hour.

At this speed, it has already surpassed the tanks of World War I at that time.

Horses are inherently ferocious animals with violent tempers, very powerful hoofs and limbs, and can easily injure people.

It was only later that it was slowly domesticated.

But as long as you run on the grass for a long time, your personality will be raised to be wild and unruly, let alone the free horse you are born to love.

This is why chariots are pulled by horses instead of other animals. One is that they are fast enough, and the other is that horses are inherently violent animals.

On a chaotic battlefield, a chariot pulled by four horses can crush infantry like weeds.

Charge into battle and break out of the road, all rely on chariots.

The chariot is a trinity, and the horse itself is a ferocious animal. If a horse's hoof hits the ground, it can directly crush the person's spleen.In addition, there are people. The soldiers on the chariot are just the driver. It is not easy to tame a strong horse, let alone control four horses and let them rush to the most dangerous place.

This requires the driver's rich experience and cooperation with the horse.

Then there are the chariots. The chariots of the Zhou Dynasty also had chariots on the two sections of the axle.It is used to prevent the axle from falling off, maintain the vehicle battle formation, and also hides murderous intent.A moving vehicle can easily slice open a person's thigh if the speed is too fast.

With the height of the chariot and the distance of the spear, four war horses galloped side by side. Anyone who entered the range of the chariot could hardly get in intact and come out intact.

After experiencing the development of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, by the end of the war, the Qin State had made its chariots the best in the world.

By the time of the Qin Dynasty, bows and arrows had been replaced by Qin's advanced crossbow machines.

The crossbow is fast, powerful and extremely lethal.

The Qin State has rich combat experience and has not only upgraded its tanks technically, but also upgraded its tactics.

When there is no infantry cooperation, every eight units is a row, two rows are a group of sixteen units, and four groups of 64 units are a team.

When infantry is attached, a basic unit will be composed of one chariot, three soldiers, and eight infantry, six chariots will form a group, and eighteen chariots will be equipped with one command vehicle and one troop will form a team.

However, Qin's chariots still use a three-person model, with four horses in front, one person driving, and two people attacking on the vehicle. The two people have a clear division of labor. One person holds the gun and the other holds the bow. The golden combination of distance and nearness is used on the battlefield. Rushing forward, invincible.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a country's chariot was often a manifestation of the country's comprehensive national strength.

In order to ensure that Qin State always leads in technology, Qin State equips its chariots with relatively large wheels, with a diameter of about 1.2 meters to 1.3 meters.

The axle is large and the body is strong, so it can run for a long time, the wear and tear will be reduced, and the vehicle can carry more weapons and spare armor.
