Thunderbolts weighing more than one pound, and people with strong strength can only throw about twenty steps, and only perverted strong men like Gao Shixin can throw more than fifty steps away.

However, it is enough for the grenadiers to throw twenty steps. When the Later Jin attacked, the archers followed the hand-to-hand combat soldiers, approaching to a position of only twenty steps away from the opponent's formation. At such a close distance, one arrow can be shot through the gaps in the shield, hit the front door, and even accurately hit the opponent's eyes! This is a bit like the lobster soldiers of Daying. When they approached only thirty meters away from the opponent, they would smash the opponent's face and then launch a bayonet charge.

However, in the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing army no longer had such courage. Otherwise, even if it was a crow, it would not lose to the lobster soldiers even with bows and arrows. Only when it was a crow, Mini popped up and the lobster soldiers had the advantage of crushing the Qing army in individual weapons.

The effective range of the Later Gold Heavy Arrow is fifty steps, but if you shoot archery at a distance of fifty steps, the accuracy and power will decrease a lot, so they took the method of shooting archery close to the face.

If you want to say that the Ming army's firearms are of poor quality, especially bird guns, which are not so used to hit people, but rather to blow their own people. The range of the three-eyed guns is not as good as that of bows and arrows. Francs and other light artillery are mostly consumed by cannon fodders of the Later Jin army. When the heavy armored infantry of the Later Jin army approaches, the artillery loses its function.

Whether it was Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, and later Sun Chuanting, they all adopted the method of chariot formations to deal with the Later Jin army. Although this method was effective, its mobility was too poor. If you win, you could not expand the results. If you lose, you would suffer heavy losses.

In fact, in Europe, the tactics of Husche Castle had already appeared as early as the 13th century. In the Czech Republic in the early 13th century, the Husche Rebels of Jesches repeatedly defeated the elite heavy cavalry and infantry of the Holy Roman Empire with this chariot formation. Jesches' subordinates were mainly farmers, miners and some small nobles. Among them, except for a few who had a full set of plate armor similar to the standard of knights, most of them had only agricultural tools or civilians.

With the moving fortress like the chariot array, Jeska defeated the elite European knights many times.

During the battle, the chariot formation formed a circle, forming a chariot castle, which included musketeers, light gunners, crossbowmen, archers, halberds and swordsmen, forming a tight defensive formation.

There were serious flaws in mobility, which made the opponent pretend to retreat in the Battle of Lipang in 1434, and lured some rebels to pursue blindly. Due to the lack of necessary rapid formation training, these people were quickly massacred by the cavalry who fought back.

After Jessica's death, although the Tabor army eventually failed, the Hus chariot formation he invented was still widely used in Europe. During the Hundred Years of War in Britain and France, the British army used chariot formations, longbow soldiers and heavy infantry to cooperate with each other, and the French heavy cavalry were looking for teeth. Although the French adopted the method of artillery bombardment, France still suffered a crushing defeat.

In chess, the shape of a car is a castle, and the English name is Rook, which means a castle. It was originally derived from Persian chess, and the car Rook comes from the Persian word Ruhk, which means chariot. The body of the ancient Persian chariot is often decorated in the shape of a fortress with battlements, so it was spread to Europe and was rumored to be regarded as a castle.

After entering the 17th century, with the improvement of Western artillery technology, the chariot formation was eventually eliminated, and the infantry's method of dealing with cavalry became the Spanish phalanx.

The artillery technology of the Later Jin army is not advanced. The Ming army does not have powerful field artillery, so the Ming army uses chariot formation to deal with the Later Jin, and the Later Jin also uses shield chariots to counter the Later Jin.

Gao Shixin felt that the Ming army's chariot tactics were actually lagging behind, but there was nothing we could do about it. The soldiers were of poor quality, the individual equipment was backward, and the armor was of poor quality, so they could not compete with the Later Jin army in field battles, so they could only adopt this chariot tactics that were actually lagging behind the times.

The Later Jin army lacked artillery to break the carriage array, so they invented the shield chariot tactics to compete.

Is the Tang Dynasty's Modao Formation lagging behind now? In fact, it is not behind at all. Just replace some crossbowmen with firearms and then use cannons on both wings, and this formation will still beat Hou Jin.

Each soldier of the Tang army was equipped with Mingguang armor! There was also a pair of strong bows, thirty arrows, and an exquisitely crafted Tang sword. According to various types of troops, they were equipped with weapons such as modao, hammer, axe, long spear, and strong crossbow. The equipment of each soldier of the Tang army was worth hundreds of taels of silver!

The Ming Dynasty had this money? Even the biggest apocalypse could not afford so much money.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty was still rich, but the money was in the hands of the civil servants and gentry groups and vassal kings. As for the soldiers? Who would be willing to equip soldiers with such excellent equipment? After the Tumu Fort Incident, even the generals were inferior to ordinary soldiers. Needless to say, the status of military households was not as good as prostitutes. Soldiers were disposable consumables and cannon fodder. Who would spend money to equip soldiers with these equipment?

Just when Gao Shixin was full of confidence and was about to build a strong army, Xiong Tingbi came to his door again: "Shixin, the strong army you want to build is too expensive. Although the Ministry of Revenue can solve some of the money, according to your training plan, the money provided by the Ministry of Revenue is not enough. We also need to build a car camp and build new firearms, where can we get so much money."

Only Gao Shixin's army can leave the Cheba camp to fight. Once the ordinary Ming army leaves the Cheba camp, they will wait to be slaughtered by the cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty. Therefore, Gao Shixin could not convince Xiong Tingbi to give up the Cheba camp and build an elite force.

Silver is a headache. Although Gao Shixin took a lot of military pay from Xiong Tingbi, he spent money on building a strong army, and he paid a lot of money to put in.

There is a way! Gao Shixin suddenly thought of something, and he said to Xiong Tingbi: "As long as you support me, I will definitely capture a large number of Jiannu's works. According to the secret spies of the Jinyiwei, many Jiannu's works are merchants, and they have a lot of money in their hands! We can copy a batch of silver to serve us as military pay."

"Since I am catching Jiannu's work in detail, I must support it! But there must be evidence to arrest them. I have also captured Jiannu's work in Liaodong before, but many businessmen have people in the court, and I offended many officials in the court for this." Xiong Tingbi sighed.

"Please rest assured that Zhenglu Xiong has their evidence in his hands! These illegal businessmen will bring them all to justice!" Gao Shixin promised confidently.

More than a hundred Jinyiwei Cavalry escorted Yang Hao, Li Rubai and others back to Beijing and came back. These Jinyiwei stayed in Liaodong to assist Gao Shixin in thorough investigation of the Liaodong and the Later Jin Dynasty. In fact, there were many Jinyiwei secret spies in Liaodong. However, in the spy war with the Later Jin Dynasty, Jinyiwei suffered a lot of losses.

Are the spy agencies of the Later Jin Dynasty more powerful than the Ming Jinyiwei? Wrong, since the Ming Jinyiwei established the Gongwei Department to the personal military commander's mansion, and then to the Jinyiwei, they played an important role in the battle with Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and the Northern Yuan Dynasty. As an old intelligence agency with a history of nearly three hundred years, isn't it better than the Later Jin intelligence agency?

But the bad things are bad in many Han people. Although Huang Taiji's intelligence agency in charge of the Later Jin Dynasty did not even have a formal name, they cleverly used the merchants in Liaodong and developed detailed works from all kinds of Han people.
