The sunset in the sky is falling, and red light shines on the entire earth in the west. The sunshine time in spring begins to grow longer, and there is still one hour before the sun sets. In other words, the moment when the sun disappears and the black star light appears alone is still far away. There is no need to worry about the sudden surge of the power of this demon army warrior.

One hour, such a long time is enough to see a lot of things clearly by yourself, and it is enough time to let the immortal in the outer world relax his guard in the south.

It is easy for cavalry to destroy the arrow formation without rushing, so it is normal to consume each other for a long time.

Ye Qing studied the battle examples of Xiatu. The elite Han army led by Li Ling was composed of 5,000 infantry, and the record was that it was skilled in swordsmanship and crossbows. The field battle was to arrange long halberds and shield-holding warriors as horse-resisting horses, and the crossbows were arranged behind them.

For the 30,000 first and 80,000 cavalry in the later period, the total battle time was about ten days. The personal vector carrying by the archers of the Han Dynasty was generally fifty, which was the standard ammunition base required for one person to fight a day at that time. Each person consumed fifty arrows every day, and at the most intense time, one hundred arrows were consumed, and a total of more than 2.5 million were consumed. The burden on this baggage was very high. No wonder the infantry was equipped with a large number of horse-drawn carriages, which were supported by the absolute advantage of logistics manufacturing power.

There are real cases of such power collisions, and some wrong habits can be easily broken.

Ye Qing still remembered that he was used to knowing that ancient archers faced cavalry charges because they were "no three arrows at the end of the battle." According to the speed of the horse's charge, the distance of 150 meters was only about ten seconds, and this time was only enough for the archers to shoot three arrows, and then the opponent's cavalry arrived.

There are also some reasons, such as thinking that the pulling force of heavy bows in ancient times was too great, and the archers could not bear the arms after they let out more than a dozen arrows, and they would hurt their tendons and muscles, or even pull them open. These things sounded very reasonable, so as long as the cavalry put on high-quality armor and charged hard, and withstand these three waves of arrows and shoot into hand-to-hand combat, the archers would be finished.

In short, the conclusion - the archer is weak.

But I am afraid of taking things seriously. What is more true than numbers is history. Ye Qing used archers like this in the past. Later, I thought about it and always felt that something was wrong. How could a pure archery group appear if it really happened?

Didn’t the ancient generals know about this simple calculation and deduction?

In the history of the former Han Dynasty, Li Ling's 5,000-step archers fought and retreated during the siege. Not only did they be destroyed without a single wave, but they also persisted for nearly ten days. When the ammunition and food were exhausted, they even destroyed more than 10,000 cavalry. They were all blowing?

The Han people's tradition of Hu cavalry is an arrow formation. If the archers are weak and their achievements are all blown up, the Han Dynasty would have perished countless times long ago, and could it still perish with strength?

Until the new Han experience in the Xiatu Dynasty, Ye Qing felt ridiculous and terrifying. This is actually because modern people do not understand their own history, follow the crowd, and apply the thinking of foreign low-end crossbows. One ignores the powerful weapon such as strong bows and crossbows in ancient times, and the other ignores the difference between group arrow formations and squad archers. This is not strategically at the same level as heavy artillery groups and several small cannons.

First of all, the range of strong bows and crossbows is more than 150 meters long, and these are twice or even more, which means that the shooters support each other farther, and the scale of the arrow formation has increased tenfold.

The three-stage design was not invented in the musket era. The launch of the ancient archer troops was also divided into batches. The cavalry was by no means as simple as encountering three waves of shooting within 150 meters.

As for the lack of physical strength, it is the degree of firepower output. The so-called archer will not be able to pull the bow as long as he opens a bow for more than ten times. This is a complete lack of practical experience. In later generations, traditional bow lovers have experimented with maintaining continuous shooting for four hours. The shooting accuracy can be maintained in the first hour, and the accuracy cannot be maintained in the next three hours, but it has no effect on the group's arrow array covering shooting. The accuracy of the early tunnel fire was much ugly than that of the bow and arrow, and it can be shot out of the sky in two hundred meters.

The ancients started archery training since childhood. The "History of the Song Dynasty" records that the general Wang Shunchen once shot against the Qiang people, "From Shen and You, they drew more than a thousand arrows. Those who are not weak have their fingers split and blood flowed to the elbow. One thousand shots in two to four hours, and one shot in ten seconds on average, equipped with special medicine to protect the archer's fingers and special protective gear. This will finally shoot until the fingers split and the blood fills the elbow, which shows the strength of fighting will and physical strength.

The Song people were good at arrows, and the Divine Arm Bow was the pinnacle, but overall, the strongest arrow formation in the Han Dynasty was the standard lies in the fact that war was not a one-person game.

According to the "Three Kingdoms" records, "Zan Baima Yicong is the backbone, and it is also divided into two schools, shooting left and right, shooting left." It reveals the details of the use of crossfire by an ancient archer and cavalry, cleverly avoiding the shield protection on the other side's front. Yuan Shao's response is also very interesting. He launched a counter-charge with more than 1,000 elite crossbowmen, and finally defeated the Baima Yicong, a group of tens of thousands of archers.

The cavalry starts from four hundred meters away from the enemy's position and encounters high-density shooting at every moment, and it is covered with all-round firepower without gaps, with projectiles from the air, direct shots and projectiles from the left and right sides, and accurate and powerful direct shots from the front.

On this charge road, every step and every moment, all space is covered with cross firepower of arrows. When it advances to the last fifty meters, the steel armor must be kneeled under the strong crossbow. Of course, the premise of this kind of arrow formation is that there is an excellent general who is well trained with him, and the number and courage are enough for the troops.

Regardless of the millions of years of war experience on earth, only the troops from the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms periods could reach the master level of the Arrow Array, and the Song Dynasty lost the courage.

For example, Li Ling clearly recorded the casualties of the Xiongnu Shanyu's battle, which were more than 2,000 at a time, more than 3,000 at a time, and more than 5,000 at a time. The results of the other battles were said to have killed thousands, so the minimum casualties were more than 10,000.

But these are just a few famous battle records. The number of enemies killed by the rest of the uninterrupted attacks is not counted. Based on the time of the battle and the intensity of the battle, it can be estimated that the normal number of enemies killed is at least about 20,000, and the injury is even more difficult to estimate.

One thousand to twenty thousand people, the casualties ratio is the power of the arrow formation to the cavalry. Brushing the Hu people is like playing. This is why muskets were not invented in ancient China.

However, this requires a high level of comprehensive strength of the country. Manufacturing power, technology, logistics, military strength, training of famous generals, and courage. Later, the Song Dynasty did not learn it. It only made two progress in weapon range and individual archery skills. The overall killing ability was very different. It was a huge difference. It was a tiger but failed to become a dog, and was turned backwards by Liao, Jin and Mongolia.

In essence, it may be the loss of the national war system and the Han Dynasty's wind is so loud.

This shows that in war, the same is true for cavalry formations, arrow formations, and even gun formations. In fact, any highly respected weapon and formation are not without weaknesses and indestructible.

But the power is unbreakable - or the power of a peak form can only be broken with another stronger power.

On the ground of Jiuzhou, the five virtues of the vassal states were the norm. The Northern Wei and other vassal states were still good at this national war system. The Cai Dynasty may have a strong foundation and strength, but its bloodline was insufficient. Compared with the legions of foreign countries, it was the difference between docile buffaloes and wild tigers. It was similar in size, but it was not the same thing in actual combat. Who cares about the dispute between life and death?

"The reason why the first batch of princes such as Wei, Xianghou, Yanhou were unsteady in the middle and were all in the lead. I used to think they had an early-term advantage, but now it seems a bit too prejudiced."

"Many people who have succeeded in competing for the rise of dragons in the world may not only rise early this time, but they all unified the world in Xiatu, and have a group of backbone forces who are well-versed in the national war system... For example, when I was just a marquis, I was empty and the heroes of Xiatu returned to make the Han Marquis stable. Because the system is not just empty, it has to be followed by someone, and can even adjust and improve according to the new situation, which is a vibrant system."

Moving south for thousands of miles a day and night, relying on the peak of his own dragon, Han Chen Zhenren Group, Nuwa Immortal Fighting Power, more than a thousand magicians, tens of thousands of soldiers, fire thunder, fire tail arrows, train transportation...

Behind these, they all vaguely point to a new and vibrant system, rather than being convinced by oneself with the turtle spirit.

Ye Qing was thinking when he heard Zhuge Liang say, "Lord, although the enemy's arrow formation is as strong as us, he sees that each of them has only two quiver launchers and has no logistics, so he is not afraid... It's the enemy's magic circle, and I'm afraid the cavalry will find it difficult to rush over."

Most of the people are Han officials, with rich war experience, and they can see the bluffing momentum of the enemy's strong arrow formation at a glance. This arrow formation may scare other states, but they cannot scare them. However, the casualties of the forced rush must be very large, and few cavalry may survive.

Ye Qing nodded. Although he was careful to be on the enemy's backlash, things had come to this point. If you know the details, I have already understood the strength of these foreign Taoist soldiers. The battle experiment ends here. Let the real person take action to form the real dragon formation and defeat the enemy formation."
