The pressure felt by the bald men and the others was much greater than that of the soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The bows and arrows of the Jurchen archers are generally about 120 to 150 pounds, and the Qing bow is a traditional bow, and the archer uses the Mongolian shooting method, but the power conversion is above the 45 pounds of force of the compound bow of later generations. Generally, well-nourished men in the prime of life in later generations will have a beginner's bow and arrow strength between 28 and 30 pounds, and the traditional bow is about 60 pounds. After a long period of exercise and archery training, the strength of the arm and waist strength is well matched, and the compound bow can shoot more than 40 pounds, and to 60 and 70 pounds is a great strength. And if the traditional bow wants to pull up to 100 pounds, it is almost difficult to do, and the Jurchen archer in front of him has almost no less strength than 100 pounds in his hand!

The Jurchen archers almost have the same archery frequency as the Han army, but their arrows are heavier, the arrows of the Han army rarely use six taels of heavy arrows, while the Jurchens generally use six taels of arrows, and the bow lovers of later generations have completely restored all kinds of clear bows, and the rumored six taels of heavy arrows have of course also been restored, and have been tested with clear bows or compound bows at about 100 paces, and the result is that the clear bow with heavy arrows can shoot through plate armor!

Heavy arrows kept flying towards the camp, and the wind was also very tense and urgent. The Jurchen archers also suffered a lot of casualties in the artillery fire, but under the leadership of their officers, they still pressed forward step by step, and the arrows were gradually divided into two shooting methods: flat and projectile, almost covering the front and back of the car formation, and the people who were shooting from the rain of arrows could not raise their heads.

The bald man was suddenly startled, his cheeks felt a burst of warmth, and the top of his head felt a little hot, he touched it, scolded, and hurriedly shouted: "Military doctor, medical soldier!" ”

A soldier in triple iron armor was shot in the throat, blood sprayed wildly, and the soldier only rolled his eyes for a while, and died after a short time.

More people were hit by arrows, and one soldier was hit by an arrow in the leg, and everyone heard a loud noise, and after clicking his body, the obvious leg folded inward, and the power of an arrow actually shot people until their bones were broken.

The soldier was dragged down to be saved, and he endured the pain, and no one heard his moans.

One of the soldiers was shot in the back, and the flattened arrows of heavy arrows cut his backbone, and his entire upper body seemed to be broken, and his back was a little wet, and he didn't seem to bleed much, but his mouth and nose were spurting blood, and before he was found, he squatted on the ground and died.

The soldiers all put on their iron masks and kept their heads down to observe the enemy.

The Jurchens and the soldiers did not move in the same way, because the position had been silent, maybe the Houjin soldiers also felt the pressure and inappropriate, they did not intend to continue to move forward and use the infantry to charge the formation, but only moved slowly, and continued to suppress the area around the Cheying with bows and arrows.

"Damn, it's coming, it's coming......" The bald head was lying on the back of the card, he was wearing a six-petal iron helmet on his head, and he was not wearing an iron mask on his face, after all, he was no longer allowed to be on the front line in person, but when he saw the soldiers on the front line being shot over one after another, his heart was also like boiling boiling water.

"Sure enough, the bow and arrows of the eastern captives are a hundred times stronger than those of the northern captives." The captain of the gun hand was sweating profusely, staring at the Jurchen archers and the Han army opposite, analyzing and recording the difference between the strength and weakness of the two. However, it looks like the Han army, which is much weaker, compared to the Mongol shooting

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) hand, it is still much stronger.

The soldiers of the guns are directly guarding Li Pingzhi from the grassland to Liaodong, and the soldiers of the entire squadron have experienced many battles, although the most fierce battle of the Xiaohekou this squadron did not catch up, but the previous battle of Jiningbao and a series of battles This squadron has participated, this time the squadron was dispersed, part of it strengthened the garrison here in the car camp, and some of it was placed behind the long gate, the main task of the soldiers of this squadron is to assist the officers of the army to manage the soldiers, at the beginning of the panic, The Gunners also played a key role in stabilizing the front.

Their combat experience is richer than that of the soldiers of the Thirteen Mountains, and many officers were the dart divisions of the account bureau a few years ago, and they have participated in many small-scale battles, such as the bandit suppression war, the defensive battle of Lizhuang, and the defensive battle of Jiningbao.

"In comparison," a gunner couldn't help but answer, "the bow and arrow of the Northern Captives are really children's toys." ”

Everyone has the same opinion, the bow and arrow of the northern captives are accurate and fast, but the strength is too weak, not to mention that they can't break heavy armor, even cotton armor and chain mail can't be broken, unless it is a target without armor at close range, otherwise it is almost useless.

This is also the reason why there is no pressure on Yusheng to fight the Northern Captives on the grassland, the sharp weapons of the Northern Captives are bows and arrows and horsemanship, and Yusheng used fortress warfare to abolish the opponent's riding function, and the opponent who hit him with firearms could not raise his head, so he was naturally invincible.

"Hurry up and give the order to let go......" The squadron leader of the battle squadron was also a little overwhelmed, seeing that the opponent had entered sixty steps, the archers did not continue to move forward, but maintained a uniform speed of arrows, and the suppressed side could not raise its head, and the infantry with weapons in hand crossed the ranks of archers and began to show obvious signs of accelerating forward.

Once forced to approach the long gate, it is too dangerous.

Zhang Chunniu is also facing such a scene for the first time. His fingers were pinched until they turned white, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his sideburns were already soaked with sweat.

In such a hot and humid weather after the rain, people are easy to sweat, and when the spirit is particularly nervous, Zhang Chunniu's whole person becomes like being fished out of the water.

He suddenly said to Wen Zhong seriously: "Commander Wen, before joining the army, my ideal was to be a cook and be able to eat with a big belly." After joining the army, I barely endured the hard work of training, but many soldiers have difficulty in literacy, but it is not difficult for me. I like to be literate and have an eye for my heart, in fact, I applied for a transfer to the Military Administration Department a while ago. ”

"Hit!" Speaking of this, Zhang Chunniu suddenly turned around and gave a military order loudly.

The opponent's front line is slightly tilted, but it is still a relatively neat large circular formation, the front is more prominent, and then the column line is intertwined, one by one archers with pick knives, tiger tooth guns, iron guns, long knives, big knives, sword and shield hands, cold weapons gathered in one place, layer upon layer, once an offensive is formed, it is like a tide surging up, wave after wave, you have to smash the enemy in front of you!

The other side had already begun to prepare for the attack, and when they were within sixty paces, and when they approached the distance of fifty to forty paces, more than 1,100 musketeers finally received the order to release them.

The flag was played first, the brass trumpet was sounded later, and then the officers and squadron leaders waved flag guns.

All the guns were played at almost the same time!

There were less than thirty firearms

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) did not play out, the hands of the red face re-primed the medicine, pulled the faucet, and then hurriedly beat the medicine out.

By this time, the entire front had already begun to reload.

Many people's hands were trembling, the position was filled with a thick white mist, and the pungent smell of sulfur choked people wanted to sneeze, because of the habit formed by long-term training, no one observed the results of the opposite side, only the screams and wails of the opposite side kept coming from the ears, indicating that a sudden salvo just now, the effect should be very good.

"Okay, good fight." Wen Zhongfa had been observing the position, and when the salvo was just fired, more than a thousand firearms seemed to burst out together, indicating that the soldiers had also practiced well in their daily training. He paid more attention to the Houjin soldiers dozens of steps away, and just after the bell sounded, the opposite position seemed to be a wheat that had encountered the wind, and a large piece fell in an instant!

"At least a hundred people were killed, and at least two or three hundred were wounded." Wen Zhongfa was very satisfied, the enemy army had a total of more than 2,000 people, and this salvo killed and wounded nearly half of the opponent's troops.

Such a salvo, as long as there are two more volleys, even if it is as strong as Jianyu, it will collapse, this point, even Zhang Chunniu, a not very qualified officer, understands it in his heart.

There was a commotion from the whole position, the soldiers were cleaning their guns with their canes, and at this moment, there was a clear Manchu herald and a sound of horns from the opposite side, Wen Zhongfa saw the retreat of the infantry formation, those soldiers with spears and knives were constantly retreating, and the knife players stayed at the end, holding their shields high and covering the evacuation of the infantry.

"That's it?" Zhang Chunniu was taken aback at first, and then became excited.

"No, it's Jianyu's tricks." Wen Zhongfa has been on the Thirteen Mountains for half a year, and he has a clear understanding of Jianyu's style of play. He said: "These guys are sure that the soldiers will be subjected to a volley when they rush to the gate, and they are afraid that they will not be able to hold it anymore and retreat a hundred paces away." ”

Sure enough, as Wen Zhongfa said, a large number of Jianyu soldiers withdrew a hundred paces away and re-lined up, and the original archers also retreated.

At this time, the gunners were reloaded, and under the order, the second salvo was re-fired.

On the other side, there were people who fell instantly, because the archers were sparsely positioned, only twenty or thirty people were hit and fell, some people fell and did not move, and some people kept rolling on the ground.

Zhang Chunniu frowned, very dissatisfied with this result.

But the distance is 80 to 100 paces away, and even if hundreds of firearms are fired together, the effect will definitely not be satisfactory.

A hundred years later, on the battlefields of Europe, similar records abound, with thousands of people bombarding each other with smoothbore guns, and after several rounds of fire, there are records of only a few people killed or wounded.

The real casualties are that both sides have the determination and will to take each other, constantly approaching and exporting firepower, shooting at close range, platoon and standing against each other, that is playing queuing to shoot, unless they get training and military discipline to a certain level, and each other is the top elite power army under the premise that they can play the effect of queuing and shooting, causing very heavy casualties.

During the Napoleonic Wars, the French army was mostly able to fight against the Prussian army and the British army, but for the Austrian army, the casualty rate was not too high.
