Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 162: Di Fu riding and shooting

Wang Sunqi also instructed them on how to fire a salvo: "As long as you shoot a salvo, it is better to pass it higher, and be careful not to be too low. You can only fire when you hear the sound of the golden drum, otherwise it will be regarded as a disorderly act and you will be punished!"

The clerks agreed in unison, and they all knew that Wang Sunqi was the "right judge" in charge of the military and judicial affairs, who was just and ruthless.

Bow and arrow training already has a procedural training method. The first is to use the bow training power, followed by the target training and target shooting training, and constantly improve the stamina and shooting level of the talents. When applied to war, it is more to rely on listening to the sound of golden drums to fire salvos, causing damage.

If Zhao Wuxi had spare time, he would come here every day to inspect. He naturally understood that the training of archers was several times more difficult than that of apprentices.

The first is to make bows and arrows. A good recurve angle bow cannot be tamed for two or three years. Moreover, the requirements for the arm strength and height of the fighters are also very strict. It takes two or three years of strict training to be able to shoot dozens of arrows on the battlefield without the arms cramping and weak. As for the single-piece straight-pull bow, although it is easier to make, the requirements are higher. Medieval Welsh people started training from an early age to form a legion.

So Wu Xie sighed: "If it is possible, the crossbowmen will be effective..."

This kind of weapon to change the form of classical warfare has already appeared in China at this time.

As far as Zhao Wushi knew, in the southern state of Chu, a bowsmith named "Qin" had already made a crossbow that "bows his arms horizontally, and sets up machines and pivots"!

The people of Chu were able to drive away the people of Wu who had invaded the capital. In addition to the assistance of the Qin army, the people rallied to attack, and they also had the credit of this weapon.

Although it was invented only a few years ago, this kind of weapon has actually spread to Jin. Zhao Wuxi knew that Han Hu had one in his family. It is regarded as a treasure by the grandparents of the Han family. They seem to have plans to let the craftsmen imitate them and form crossbow soldiers. Maybe this is the source of the Korean crossbow in the later Warring States period?

No shirts feel. Be sure to find a way to get your hands on it to study imitation! Or, he could recall the crossbow he saw in his previous life. The general appearance of the hand crossbow is drawn, but those precise parts can only be explored by the craftsmen and the math students of Ji Qiao.

Later generations debated whether archers and crossbowmen were stronger or weaker, but in Wu Xie's opinion, a wise general should use them flexibly, and it would be good to have one more choice.

There were also one or two "short soldiers" who were directly responsible to Zhao Wuqi, and Zhao Wuqi consciously armed these people into heavy infantry. Each person wears two zha, that is, two layers of leather armor.

The two Sima Muchia could even wear four armors and a leather veil. A bronze long sword that others can only carry with both hands, he can swing flexibly with one hand, and he can also hold a large poplar shield in the other hand to protect himself, just like a walking armored giant.

These twenty-five people, armed with two-foot swords and poplar shields, followed Wu Xie's actions as personal guards and were located behind the battle formation. At the same time, he is also a supervisor, beheading those who dare to retreat and escape. It can also act as a firefighter in critical moments.

There are also one or two auxiliary soldiers, who are responsible for the management of the treasury and weapons. Plus take care of food and grass carts.

Jing has a delicate mind and knows some seal characters. After the expiration of his sentence, he became a "disgusting person" and always wanted to cover up his shame. Therefore, he was extremely diligent, even ignoring the contemptuous eyes of others, chasing the math students of Jiqiao School everywhere to ask about the method of calculation, and already mastered Zhou Bi's numbers.

In addition, it is a newly formed team of less than ten people.

There are brave men in the army who are not afraid of death or injury. They are organized into a team, called "swordsmen"; there are vigorous, young and brave, tyrannical and violent. Make them into a team, called "the people trapped in the battle".

These are the people under Zhao Wuxi who are fighting hard. The representative of them is Tian Ben. They are called "light soldiers", and they are unarmored, and they are used to take risks in battle. It was like a sharp, pointed knife, stabbed at the enemy fiercely, the knife collapsed into two pieces, and Zhao Wuxi would not feel distressed.

This can also be regarded as making good use of those thorns in the army.

And what Zhao Wuxi attached the most to was naturally his newly formed unit, the Light Knight.

When the weather was fine, he would ride a black horse and lead these young knights on the flat field.

The new pulley bow has been made by the bowman and delivered to him. Compared with the test item given to the Marquis of Jin, the quality and accuracy are much better.

He slung his bow on his shoulder, waved his whip and said to Yu Xi: "The rider is the scout of the army, so the army is defeated, the food is gone, and the bandits are attacked. This is my positioning of this army.

After Yu Xi listened, she complied with her promise.

The training of two cavalrymen is more difficult than that of archers. The criteria for selecting knights are to be under the age of forty and over seven feet five inches tall. It is required to be quick and agile, to be able to gallop across ravines, climb hills on horseback, and to draw arrows on horseback, and to be able to fight freely in all directions, front and rear, left and right, and be skilled in advancing and retreating.

After the selection, but also to wear suitable equipment.

The Di people around the Jin state wear short-sleeved xiaqian, which is very different from the loose-fitting sleeves of the Chinese in the Central Plains, so it is commonly known as "Di clothing". When Wu Xie was first established, it had already popularized the Di clothing, which improved the knights' clothing to short-sleeved and narrow-sleeved coats, thin leather armors, trousers, belts, hooks, and leather boots.

He was luckier than the "descendant" Zhao Wuling of later generations, and he hardly encountered any dissenting voices.

First, he was united because of his small territory. With the introduction of a large amount of corn and the implementation of policies to encourage childbirth and support for orphans and widows, his reputation in Chengxiang has reached an unparalleled level, and recently he has been turned into a witch. Sanctified.

Therefore, this order was able to pass unimpeded, that is, Zi Gonglu, who was observant, frowned when he passed by, but he was an outsider and did not understand military affairs, so of course he was not qualified to say anything.

On the other hand ~www.readwn.com~ half of the light knights are children of Jiali. The ancestors of this clan were originally from the Chidi tribe, and it was not long before Di entered China, and they also wore Di clothes on weekdays. The other half were the diggers and shepherds brought from the stables of the lower palace. Before they were selected to become villagers, they wore bunts.

In addition, in line with the yearning for the neatness and uniformity of the Qin figurines, the hairstyles of the knights were also forced to be uniform by the shirtless. They are all tied into a flat bun that is not easy to spread and obstruct the view. All the hair is combed from front to back behind the head, divided into six strands, braided into a board-shaped braid, and folded up and attached to the back of the head.

Riders and cavalrymen wear small leather hats, which are distinguished by a tassel knot under the chin.

After the implementation of these measures, Zhao Wuxi couldn't help but secretly said: "In this way, I am afraid that King Wuling's Hu clothing riding and shooting will be realized by me two hundred years earlier..." (To be continued)
