From Soldier To Emperor
Chapter 46: Fight
The horn sounded. In the Datang army, local officers and soldiers and small-scale teams often like to use flags and horns to dispatch and command the army on the battlefield. This is related to the descent of Hu people in the Datang imperial family.
Because the Tang Dynasty imperial family is a mixture of Han and Hu, the Tang Jun’s combat method absorbed the Asian yellow nomads, that is, the Hu people in the Han population.
Hu people are not much different from Han people in appearance. Han people are not a national concept in this world, but simply refer to the farming ethnic group under the rule of the Central Plains court.
With the expansion of the Tang Dynasty and the integration of the Han Hu ethnic group, many Hu people with the same appearance as the Han people have basically self-identified as Han after two or three generations of intermarriage, while the Asian yellow people in East Asia are almost all of them. Within the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, it naturally became a Han ethnic group.
The imperial family of the Tang Dynasty has Han Hu ancestry. In order to avoid being gossips, it has worked hard to eliminate the Han Hu barrier from the beginning of the founding of the country, which greatly promoted the integration of the Han people in the Central Plains and the Hu people in the North and the South. Nowadays, there are basically no Hu people in the Tang Dynasty. It's called, everyone tacitly calls themselves Han...
This is Datang’s political correctness!
However, Anlu Mountain itself has Hu descent. During the rebellion, in order to buy the northern nomads, he recognized the independent status of many Hu people, which greatly undermined the established national policy of Datang.
The rebels, naturally how uncomfortable the ruling class came...
And doing so did win many nomadic elites for Anlu Mountain. Originally, when the Tang Dynasty was unified, these Huren could only ‘become’ Han people, but now that the Civil War in the Tang Dynasty is set off, there are naturally many nomads among the nomadic people who are starting to speculate!
Therefore, the situation in the interior of Datang is far more severe than the intelligence obtained by the guard Bu Haoyu in Dashi Town. Many nomads in Anbei Duhu have lost their restraint, but because of the existence of green skins, they dare not yet. Facing the Da Tang swordsman, but indirectly disintegrating the rule of the Tang Dynasty by supporting Anlu Mountain!
I have to say that the existence of green leather made Datang save the last face...
Even if the northern nomads have a natural rejection of Datang, they dare not remove the flag of the Tang Dynasty, let alone stab the Tang army of Anbei Duhu Mansion with a knife. If the Tang Jun of Anbei Duhu Mansion is broken, who will replace it? They resist the endless number of green skins?
It was the guy who was dazzled by the emperor’s dream in Anlu Mountain. When facing the threat of Green Skin, he would dig out the corner of Datang...
In the sound of the trumpet, the crossbowmen in the patrol battalion and the official official service began to walk out slowly.
Although the crossbow is easier to use and simple to train, the maintenance of the bow is simpler than that of the crossbow, and it is more suitable for ordinary soldiers, so the bow is equipped with a much higher rate than the crossbow.
Since Datang has absorbed a large number of Huren, and Huren is good at shooting, and the area that Datang has conquered is vast, there is no shortage of archers.
There are still some crossbowmen in the infantry team, but in the Datang regular cavalry team, all the riding and shooting units use bows and arrows, inheriting and carrying forward the nomadic tradition...
Because of this, Datang can win more and less defeat in the field battle with Greenskins!
Any enemy fighting against Datang, the first thing they face is the overwhelming rain of arrows!
Because most of the soldiers in the Tang army used bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows were easy to maintain and cost-effective, so bows and arrows were used as the regular weapons of the Tang Dynasty regular army, and many hand-to-hand soldiers would also be equipped with a bow and arrow.
On the contrary, the crossbow will be used as a weapon of special arms.
Of course, the team under the basic administrative unit of Dashi Town is not a regular army of the Tang Dynasty at all. In the eyes of the court, it is just the nature of the local garrison. The regulations are naturally not strict. In addition, the quality of the soldiers is uneven, and the proportion of bows is far. Lower than the regular army of Datang.
Even so, there are more than 600 crossbowmen who came out of the patrol battalion and government officials!
Of these 600 people, less than 100 are specialized crossbowmen, and the rest are hand-to-hand and part-time archers...
Actually, apart from the regular Field Army of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no special archers, because the most indispensable in the Army of the Tang Dynasty is the archers!
After seeing the long-range troops on the opposite side, Richard would naturally not continue to wait. After an order, eighty Ming army heavy crossbowmen raised heavy crossbows and aimed at the opposite side.
The Ming Army heavy crossbowmen used the best crossbows of the Ming Dynasty, and their range was longer than the ordinary military crossbows used by the officers and soldiers in the opposite Dashi Town.
The range of the crossbows used by the patrol battalion and the official staff is not much better than that used in the patrol, but the armour-breaking ability of the crossbows used by them is higher than that of the civilian crossbows in the patrol!
In other words, as long as the distance is not too far, it can shoot through light armor.
Ancient bows and crossbows calculated on the battlefield are all effective ranges. Don’t look at some strong bows and hard crossbows that can range up to more than 600 steps, but this kind of data is meaningless, let alone more than 600 steps, two or three hundred steps. Basically, ordinary soldiers don’t know where arrows can go...
Later generations know that the musket hit rate depends on the sky, UU reading www. uukanshu.com In fact, the hit rate of the crossbow in a hundred paces depends on the sky. This is the reason why ancient bows and crossbows often fired in volleys and carried out coverage strikes. Only when the distance is close can they perform precise sniping.
This is no different from a musket. The musket can be aimed at close range. Because of the small difference between the two, the musket with stronger armor-piercing ability will completely replace the crossbow.
No matter how far the firing range is, it will be in vain if you can't hit anyone!
The shooters of the officers and soldiers of Dashi Town gradually approached Richard's team. At the same time, the melee long spear formation followed closely behind, forming a whole army formation.
In the combat regulations of the officers and soldiers of Dashi Town, they must be close to a hundred paces away before they can fire the crossbow, otherwise they will not be able to cause effective damage to the enemy.
If you encounter an armored enemy, you need to be within 50 steps to form an effective kill!
The range of the crossbows used by the officers and soldiers of Dashi Town is naturally more than a hundred steps, but two or three hundred steps can be shot. However, archery two or three hundred steps away is basically a waste of arrows, because the soldiers can’t aim...
The aiming here does not mean precise aiming, but aiming in general direction...
Archery is not shooting a gun, it needs to calculate the environment and wind speed and other factors. The difference of the arrow flying out is a thousand miles away!
Only the elites in the Tang army can be sure to hurt the enemy two or three hundred paces away.
However, Richard’s heavy crossbowmen of the Ming army did not have such concerns. As Tier 3 soldiers, they were definitely elite troops in ancient times. They naturally aimed more accurately than the officers and soldiers of Dashi Town on the opposite side. Therefore, Richard’s Ming army used heavy crossbows. The hand shoots the first arrow first!
Han Li riding a war horse behind him saw Richard's team preparing to shoot, his face flashed with contempt involuntarily.
"If you dare to shoot at this distance, do you really think that all your Taoist soldiers are magical archers?"
