Except for the eyeballs hidden behind the iron mask, these guys have no exposed places on their bodies, so they still need a small triangle array to cover?

Even if they shoot in a grand manner, these Ming troops can't suffer too much loss, right?

The Jurchen rangers did not know that this formation was calculated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Within 100 steps, no matter how thick the armor is, the heavy arrow still has a certain amount of damage to the human body, it will break the nail leaf, and then penetrate a short distance, it does not look fatal, but at the same time as the nail leaf penetrates the human body, the impact force will cause damage to the human internal organs or bones, if it is 80 steps to 60 steps, the damage caused by the heavy arrow will be greater, the Qing bow of this era is the king of the global bow category, what British longbow can not be compared with the Qing bow at all, the power is heavy, the head is accurate, and each archer must have at least fifteen forces, The Mongolian riding bow is generally less than ten forces, and in terms of range and power, the difference between the two is about double.

With a buzzing sound, the arrows flew towards this direction.

"Be careful, eighty steps back with a light arrow."

The shield bearer at the head of the triangular formation is the captain of the squad, usually the officer of the infantry team, he is quite experienced, and leads the team to move forward at the foot of the mountain using shrubs and scattered trees, and after entering a hundred steps, the Jurchens quickly shoot heavy arrows on their backs, at this time the captain of these squads does not order to shoot back immediately, but covers with shields and continues to move forward.

Each archer is a treasure in the merchant army, in fact, only the twelve regiments have a formed archer formation, in other troops, there may be some merchant army officers who can shoot arrows, but they are scattered and not large-scale, and the military division has no intention of forming an archer army...... The whole battalion of firecrackers, the power is not under the bow and arrow, but they have to be made into archers, isn't it taking off their pants and farting? Here in Kuandian, because there are quite a lot of soldiers who are good at bows and arrows among the Liao people, there is a basis for large-scale training, and the other is that the mountain infantry often has to move quickly and hide in the mountains and forests, and the bow and arrow are easier to kill the enemy in the mountains and forests than the firearms, and can achieve the purpose of concealment, so the firecrackers of the 12th regiment are less than other regiments, and each infantry battalion has a formed archer.

On the premise that the opponent has already shot arrows, this side did not shoot back immediately, but continued to move forward, which is also a helpless choice, although the archers of the 12th regiment are all Liao people hunters or military households, and they originally had a strong foundation in archery, such as setting targets in 100 steps, seven or eight out of ten, ordinary people have to practice for three months to half a year from scratch, and these Liao people originally had such a foundation.

Even the Liao people who were born in Orion, the beasts that move a hundred steps away, five or six out of ten, such archery skills are already very strong, and the fixed target is ten shots and ten hits, and those who can shoot moving targets are strange.

But their archery skills and Jurchens, the distance is still a little large, although these Liao people have been strengthening their physical fitness and practicing archery every day with the support of high-nutrition food after joining the army, but this kind of thing will take many years and the tempering of actual combat will really improve, the progress bar on the archers of the Twelfth Regiment is only halfway, and the progress bar of the Jurchens on the opposite side has long been full, the gap between the two sides is still a little big, the best way is to use the advantage of equipment protection, go to within eighty steps and then shoot, grasp it bigger, You can make the most of the advantages of your equipment.

In the dust, in the shouts of soldiers on both sides, the guerrilla lines on both sides are getting closer and closer. Heavy footsteps, the clatter of ironclad blades, the heavy breathing of soldiers on both sides, the rustle of rapid movement, the crumble of bowstrings as they cracked, and the humming of arrows as they flew through the air...... The guerrillas breathed heavily, but their steps were extremely light, they had no time to pay attention to the cries of encouragement and support, nor could they pay attention to the beastly shouts on the opposite side, the first wave of arrows had already fallen, and the heavy arrows shot from the distance were very fierce, and the accuracy was surprising, and the guerrillas of each regiment of the twelve regiments were swimming as fast as possible, even so, there were several people who were hit by arrows, and several arrows were inserted in their shields.

In the triangular formation, Li Fang stood on the right side of the captain, his shield was hit by the most arrows, three heavy arrows were blocked by him successively, every time he was hit by an arrow, his hand holding the shield would shake sharply, and he had to use all his strength to continue to hold the shield high, his tiger's mouth was cracked, such a powerful heavy arrow roared in, although the whole body was heavily armored, there was still a considerable chance of being injured by the arrow.

"These brutes."

In the movement, Li Fang, who likes to talk, still couldn't help but scold: "It's already the third round of heavy arrows." ”

There are about forty people in the Jurchen guerrilla line on the opposite side, all of them are archery, and more than 100 heavy arrows have been thrown in the shortest time, and a large number of arrows have basically fallen in the guerrilla formation here, whether it is on the shield or the iron helmet on the head, or on the shoulder, chest, and feet, there are arrows everywhere.

Even in heavy armor, several of the rangers were seriously wounded, dragged from the battlefield by the rushing medics, and after the trail of dragging, there were shocking blood marks on the weeds and dirt.

"Alright, fight back!"

The commander in charge was a deputy company commander, who had experienced the Battle of Xiaohei River and the Battle of Yulin, as well as the Battle of the Thirteen Mountains, and was quite experienced.

Due to the proximity of the distance, coupled with the delay in returning the shot, the Jurchen guerrillas are inevitably a little slack, and they do have considerable reasons to despise the Ming army on the opposite side, in their impression, the Ming army is basically this kind of passive beating situation when the Youfeng fights, and they can't raise their heads when they are shot by their strong arrows, and after a few rounds, they collapse and retreat, and hand over the large array to them to harass, often the guerrillas harass a few times in the Ming army's large array, it will make a large area of fire guns unorganized and arbitrary, and consume one or two rounds, The position seems to be lively, but in fact it is useless, even the shadow of the Jurchens has not been seen, and when the main formation moves, everything on the flanks, the Ming army gunners will throw their guns away, shouting defeat and defeat, and then it will look like a defeated army...... Such a familiar scene, such a familiar script.

But everything today has refreshed the memory of the Jurchen guerrillas on the opposite side, and the Ming army showed no signs of collapse, and their archers began to return fire. Due to the cover of the shield hand and its own excellent protection, in addition, many consecutive rounds of heavy arrow throwing have a great impact on the arm strength, and the Jurchen archer will have a sore arm if he shoots three rounds, and can only change to a flat shot with less force, and the threat of light arrows to the heavy infantry is almost no threat, and the guerrillas of the 12th Regiment have blocked their faces with iron masks, and there is no chance at all on the opposite side.

"Shoot, aim shot!"

The deputy company commander wandered along the line, constantly directing his side to start firing back, and he also held a bow in his hand, and when the whole front line was shooting arrows, this dutiful forward officer also drew his bow and arrows, and shot his own arrows with the standard Mongolian shooting method.

I have to say that in the close-range cold weapon guerrilla battle, the effect of the bow and arrow is actually much better than that of the firearm.

Firebolts are suitable for teamfights, and the more intact the array you hold, the better the firearms will be firing in unison. In the era of smoothbore guns, if you want to get the best shooting effect, salvo fire and keep the line intact are necessary, and it is also the experience gained after thousands of wars, and the current guerrilla brawl, almost every side is constantly shaking and swimming, dozens of firearms want to shoot a salvo, basically just luck, far less flexible and accurate than the bow and arrow.

The two sides kept shooting at each other, and soon there were people screaming and falling down on the Jurchen side, at a distance of nearly sixty paces, the average shooter could also do a hundred shots, plus the tension of the battlefield led to technical deformation, ten shots of five or six is also the most basic requirement, in the shooting of dozens of people, there are often three or five people aiming at a target at the same time, the person being targeted is easy to hit two or three arrows at the same time, at least one arrow will be shot, the Jurchen people's armor is far less thick than the twelve regiments, and the quality of the armor is far from the same, The bubble nail cotton armor is only a small amount of iron blades after forging, and the outer layer of iron nails is used to fix the iron blades, and the iron blades are used very little, otherwise it is not cotton armor but iron armor, even if a layer of chain mail is added, it is difficult to prevent it under the strong shot at close range, besides, the arms, thighs, and abdomen are all soft areas, and once the arrow is hit, it will lose its combat effectiveness and can only retreat.

Bows and arrows kill armored enemies, but they can make them lose their fighting spirit and physical strength.

On both sides, people are constantly falling to the ground, the difference is that there are medical soldiers on the side of the 12th Regiment who take the risk to treat the wounded, or the lightly wounded are covered by the shield hand after walking a few steps into the rear of the battle for treatment, and the Jurchens do not have the concept of medical soldiers at all, their wounded are lightly injured and dare not retreat at will, and the seriously injured can only fall to the ground and moan and groan, after a long time, the seriously wounded who are hit by the arrow are lying all over the ground with blood all over the ground, and after a long delay, the bow and arrow are enough to kill.

"Ah......h

"Ugh!"

When the arrow is fired within forty paces, both sides know that they can't shoot a few rounds, but at this time, they pay more attention to accuracy, after all, they must retain their physical strength and prepare to fight.

Under the precise fire, there were further shots on both sides, and someone was shot in the neck by an arrow, let out a painful uh-ah sound, clutched his neck and fell to the ground, and a moment later, he rolled and died in the blood all over the ground.

While the two sides were approaching each other, the large array of the 12th Regiment remained motionless, they were on the hillside, and the guerrillas below were between the rocks and bushes, it was impossible for the large array to move forward, but the large array of the Jurchens was approaching forward, and their guerrillas were not in good shape, and the large array was slowly approaching in advance, ready to fight at any time.

"Master," Kak Duli had extremely rich battlefield experience, and he said to Huang Taiji: "Do you want to summon the guerrilla troops and prepare for battle?" ”

"Look again." Huang Taiji said extremely coldly: "The guerrillas have not had a chance to get close to disturb the enemy's position, wait for them to approach, and see what the result of the two sides is." ”

The Jurchen guerrillas were very open on the battlefield of three hundred paces wide, there were only about thirty people left, behind them, there were a few seriously injured guerrillas who were barely walking backwards, and nearly ten people were lying in a pool of blood and had no strength to struggle, so they could only lie down and wait for rescue......
