Chapter 325: : No matter how important it is

The sharpness of the Han military crossbow is definitely not a general statement. The longest range of the strong crossbow can reach 300 steps. Regardless of the short distance, do you know what it means to be covered by high intensity?

"We have tried a large number of cavalry sprints, from entering the range of the Han army bow and crossbow, 300 steps are covered by the opponent's strong crossbow, to the 260 steps are covered by the crossbow, bed crossbow, entering the 180 steps are thrown. Covered by a stone cart." Hu Yansheng's face was unusually ugly: "You will be covered by a strong bow when you enter one hundred and twenty steps."

It’s like the heavens, the earth, and even the gods and Buddhas all over the sky. No one is willing to face this kind of enemy army. It’s a situation where you don’t even touch a piece of the opponent’s hair but you don’t know how many people are killed first. .

At this moment, the Qiang people have cavalry on the charge. They are scattered and occupy a very wide area. When they entered the distance from the Han army's strong crossbow, the Han army did not shoot even a single arrow.

"The dispersal impact Han army no longer shoots arrows, but we don't think it is because the opponent lacks arrows." Hu Yansheng waited for a while, and the cavalry charged very quickly, and soon rushed to within two hundred steps. He raised his hand to the Han army’s camp and said, "The opponent will release arrows soon."

Almost as soon as the speech fell, waves of arrows were shot from the camp of the Han army. It seemed that the scale was not large, but it seemed extremely targeted.

The arrow flew for a certain distance in mid-air with the sound of howling. When it fell, it would cause a scream of a person or a neigh of a war horse when it hit the target, and a muffled noise when it hit the ground.

Hu Yansheng said with an extremely ugly expression: "The arrows of the Han army are all three-sided armor-piercing styles. The arrows will inevitably cause penetration, and even the arrows from the warhorse will sink into the feathers."

Look at the cavalry that hits the arrow on the battlefield. No matter where they are shot, they are directly pierced. This shows that the kinetic energy of the cavalry's forward sprint and the arrow is really great. As Hu Yansheng said, the arrow is the key.

The direct penetration of arrow sticks has advantages and disadvantages. The arrowhead is not easy to take out if it is left in the human body, but the arrowhead penetrates the human body, which means that the wound will increase. In the ancient times when there was no medical treatment, hitting the arrow was a troublesome thing. If the arrow hit the human torso really wanted to survive, it would not be so easy, even in the modern era with abundant medical treatments.

In just six days, the Qiang army lost nearly 14,000 people. Only a handful of hundreds of people died of melee weapons, and the rest were all killed by the Han's crossbows. Have they achieved any results? Some, it broke down a fence set up by the Han army, and possibly killed or wounded dozens of Han army soldiers.

Facing an arrow formation that can only be broken through by relying on major casualties, Yao Yizhong is almost too fast to eat and drink these days, and people are becoming thinner at a very fast rate.

A new batch of more than 1,000 cavalry soldiers were put into the test. They rushed to a distance of 100 paces and withdrew. The number who ran back was only less than 300. The visible credit was the use of three or four thousand arrows of the Han army. .

What I have to say is that the number of arrows shot by the Han army in six days is not too small, how can they be more than two hundred and fifty thousand. Such a cost is actually not that big. Seeing that the result is about seventeen, it is already very efficient.

Of course, the Han army actually recovered the nearby arrows. The actual loss of arrows should be 150,000. During the period, the recovery of arrows seduce the Qiang people to attack and achieved some results.

Yao Yizhong has few choices now. He has asked the army's craftsmen to build wooden shields and shield carts, and then he has enough mental preparation to pay the necessary casualties.

There is nothing wrong with it. Facing the Han army's sharp and shameless benefits of crossbows, shields and other necessities, it is necessary to pay a heavy price to be psychologically prepared for close combat.

"The reinforcements of the Han army will arrive in two days. Before that, we will attack without worrying about the casualties!" Yao Yizhong commanded operations more than once, and the casualties had long been regarded as pure numbers. He added: The Hu and Jin people are at the forefront, and our clan soldiers are behind."

Yao Yizhong brought many leaders of the Qiang tribe and a group of generals from Shijie Zhao State to three miles away from the Han army camp. They need to make a final inspection and also encourage the troops.

In addition, I have to say that Yao Yizhong was also luring the Han army out of the camp to attack. For this reason, he did not hesitate to put up a big battle, and tried his best to make Dazhen in a conspicuous position.

Liu Yan’s current available force is only 30,000. If Yao Yizhong succeeds in attracting the Han army to attack, no matter how much it is, as long as it can offset the advantage of the Han army’s bow and crossbow, come to a close battle, and destroy each one. The Han army can be regarded as Yao Yizhong's success.

What is the Han army doing right now? Whether or not to send troops to attack is one aspect. Someone immediately overwhelmed the rest of the topic after it was raised. The most important topic was whether or not to let the Luzi River fleet enter the Yellow River.

The Luzi River is a waterway connecting the Yellow River. Before Liu Yan deployed a large number of docks there, a fleet of 300 has taken shape. They are used to cut off the back of the Qiang army and block the battlefield. The Yellow River waterway in the region.

Three hundred ships is not too much? If you look at the situation of the battle, the river section should be enough, but the problem is not so calculated. You should count all the river sections that may be involved, so that 300 ships are really not enough.

"There are nearly a thousand Shijie naval forces. They may not have rich experience in water warfare, but they still should not be underestimated." Sang Yu is opposed to dispatching the fleet now, and he went on to say: "Our current 6th armies are not enough. If so, Yao Yizhong couldn't stop it at all if he wanted to retreat."

What is the situation of Shijie Shui Army? Nearly a thousand are not talking about people, but boats. The number of boats definitely accounts for a large part of it, and the number of boats is at least 400. It is really a huge fleet, and the number of people serving it may not be less than 200,000.

Similar to the navy of the Jin army, the ships of the Shijie navy are basically the shipbuilding system. The difference is that the Shijie navy does not have as many three-story ships as the Eastern Jin navy.

"The first batch of reinforcements will arrive tomorrow night, and the second batch will be two days later." Ji Chang gave a serious answer, dullly said: "In other words, we need to stabilize Yao Yizhong here for at least three days. "

Another thing is that the wood and other debris floating on the Yellow River waterway are not missing after the Qiang army crossed the river. They are still blocking a long section of the waterway. The ships of the Han army did not come from the sea from the east, but those blocked rivers still needed to be resolved, so that they could form a tendency to attack on both sides.

Sang Yu asked in common sense: "Set fire?"

I don't know how many people all said in unison: "No!"

The last time a fire was set in Taishan County, the fire engulfed more than half of Taishan County, and even the surrounding counties and counties also suffered from seedlings. At present, a large area is still full of traumas, and it is still suffering from the ashes left by the fire. Endlessly, it's just that the land that has been hit by the fire in the coming year will be extremely fertile.

Is it ridiculous to set fire on the river? Think about how the Battle of Chibi was fought.

Liu Yan also disagrees. As far as he is concerned, the wood on the Yellow River is a resource or a resource obtained by the enemy. Collecting it will be more fulfilling than cutting it by himself.

"Your Majesty?" The question Ji Chang cares about is very practical: "What size will our fleet be in three days?"

"About..." Liu Yan thought for a while and said, "About five hundred."

It was a large battleship, and most of it used to shoot crossbow arrows. It was more than enough to deal with Shijie Zhao Jun, even if it was insufficient, he could continue to make up for it.

Systematic warships are actually not enough. It involves blocking the wood and other debris near the Yellow River’s estuary. The final agreed result is to send people to try to fish. It’s a point to clean it up, but it’s really impossible. It is burning.

The next day, Liu Yan was awakened in his sleep. He asked what was going on, but the people only said that Ji Chang had obvious abnormalities.

The Qiang army’s camp hasn’t been lighted yet, it’s the sound of the horns, and even a large area of ​​camp is brightly lit, and it seems there is definitely some big move.

When Ji Chang saw Liu Yan coming over, he said anxiously: "Today is the time for Yao Yizhong to attack ~ www.wuxiamtl.com~ Liu Yan did not speak, he took the lead to the highest observation deck in the camp.

Going to the observation deck, and using a telescope to observe the Qiang camp, you can see that there are a lot of war equipment appearing at the front of the Qiang camp, there are a large number of shield carts, and some look like nest carts, but they are actually incredibly large. volume.

"Yao Yizhong has a lot of Jin people, right?"

"Yes, Lord."

In fact, it is not only Yao Yizhong, but any high-ranking person in the Central Plains, who does not have a large group of Jin people around him?

It is inevitable for the army to dispatch accompanying craftsmen, as some combat equipment is made temporarily by accompanying craftsmen. Yao Yizhong had placed the artisan army in the core area before, and the Han army had speculated that the Qiang army would build equipment, but he did not expect to build so many.

As long as you pay a little attention, you will find that the equipment made by Yao Yizhong is extremely targeted. Almost all of them are running with defensive arrows. It can be seen that the advantages of the Han army’s bows and crossbows have made Yao How important Yi Zhong is.

In fact, Yao Yizhong’s attention is really understandable. He doesn’t know how much the Huns once suffered under the crossbows of the former Han, but it should be clear from the battles in the past few days that the Qiang army wants fewer dead people. You should prepare more shields, and build as many as necessary arrow-retaining equipment.

Now the Qiang army has prepared countless anti-arrow equipment, and Liu Yan and others subconsciously look at each other when they are on the lookout tower.

"So...that is to say, the nearby forest has suffered again?"

"..."

Everyone was a little stunned at Liu Yan's attention. It seems that it is not time to care about the environment. It should be annoying that the benefits of crossbows will be offset. How can the Han army block the Qiang army's strong attack? 8
