God-level Great Hunjun System

The precise arrows of the Montenegro cavalry archers rushed towards the soldiers of the Wei army, reaping the lives of the food transport team.After the food transport officer organized the defensive formation, the enemy army went away again.

This cycle was repeated several times, and there were not many people left in the food transportation team. The Montenegrin cavalry archers drew their long swords and rushed towards the food transportation team shouting and killing.

The soldiers of the Wei army have long been exhausted, and there is no longer an advantage in numbers, how can they resist?Immediately, he was washed to bits and pieces, and fled in all directions.

A fire ignited on the grassland, and the carts full of grain were reduced to ashes in the raging flames.

Such scenes were staged everywhere on the supply line of the Wei army.Since the launch of the Black Mountain Cavalry, no more than half of Wei's logistics supplies have been able to reach the camp smoothly. If things go on like this, the frontline troops of the Wei army will have big problems!

In order to deal with this group of difficult Montenegrin cavalry shooters, the military department tried every means,

They first strengthened the guards of each grain transport team, but soon found that this method was almost useless.The Montenegrin cavalry shooters come and go without a trace, and they can concentrate their strikes according to the changes in the number of food transport teams.Moreover, there cannot be too many soldiers in the food transport team, otherwise the pressure on military pay and food and grass will be too great.

Then Jiang Ziya carefully studied the weaknesses of the cavalry and archery troops, and proposed to send more crossbowmen to the grain transportation team, and use the advantages of the crossbowmen's range to counter the cavalry and archery troops.

After Jiang Ziya proposed this plan, Yan Hao thought it was a good idea at first, and ordered all food transportation teams to be escorted by a sufficient number of crossbowmen.

But soon, this approach also failed.It stands to reason that groups of bow and arrow troops are a great deterrent to cavalry archers, but the problem is that Montenegro Shan cavalry archers are not ordinary cavalry archers, and the number of archers in the grain transportation team is at most 200, which is difficult to form. A rain of arrows threatened.

When Montenegro cavalry archers make a surprise attack, they can often attack from a long distance with their good bows and arm strength, and their range is almost the same as that of ordinary archers.Coupled with the suddenness of the incident, often before the archers had time to concentrate their launches, the enemy cavalry had already gone away. Even if they were affected by some arrow rain, the damage would be extremely light.

After continuing for a period of time, this scheme is also considered ineffective.

In desperation, Huo Qubing proposed to lead the Yunzhou Lion Riders to patrol the defense line, relying on the super mobility of the Lion Riders to intercept and kill the Black Mountain Riders.

It has to be said that Huo Qubing's method is quite effective, and the Lion Cavalry finally made the invincible Heishan Qishe meet his opponent.

The lion rider's method of dealing with it is very simple, one word - chasing!Chase!

Huo Qubing divided the Lion Cavalry into many small units, with special scouts communicating with each other.Once any small army finds the cavalry archer intercepting food, it immediately informs the whole army to pursue it.

Once the lion riders set their sights on a certain cavalry archer unit, they will immediately pursue them endlessly. The sweaty horses under their crotch are already extremely fast, and the weight of equipment carried by the lion riders as light cavalry will not exceed that of Montenegro Riding and shooting, so it has a great advantage in speed.

The Rouran people found that the speed was not an advantage, so they tried to force the elite light cavalry of the Wei army back by flying shots, but were surprised to find that although the lion cavalry were lightly armored, they were well protected, and everyone was carrying a small shield.Mounted shooting is not as powerful as standing, so it is difficult to cause too much damage to the lion riders.

Usually, Montenegrin cavalry archers only have time to shoot three or four arrows before being chased by lion cavalry.And once they get close, it will be a one-sided massacre.The lion riders who are skilled in swordsmanship can completely fight multiple Black Mountain riders in close combat!

In this way, with the full pursuit of the Lion Cavalry, the arrogance of the Black Mountain Cavalry was finally suppressed.

But even so, the Rouran people also came up with other methods, that is, instead of dividing their troops to loot, they concentrated their forces to intercept certain food transport teams. When encountering small-scale lion cavalry, they could work together to destroy them. The lion riders retreated before the large-scale assembly. As a result, the two troops fought guerrilla warfare on the vast grassland, and no one could do anything to the other.

With the protection of the lion ride, the loss of materials on the logistics line was greatly reduced.But at this time, a new problem appeared: without the [-] elite lion cavalry as the vanguard and scouts, the main force of the Wei army fell into a passive strategy.

After Rouran Khan Anahuan issued the general mobilization order, the army assembled by the Rouran royal court has exceeded 80, and a super-large-scale decisive battle is about to begin.The number of the Wei army is only 50. Although all of them are elite and have extraordinary fighting power, Rouran's soldiers are brave and brave. This is another battle at home, so Yan Hao dare not act rashly and can only wait for a good opportunity.

However, the Wei army's strength was already insufficient, and it lacked raid and harassment troops. Under such circumstances, it would be a waste of money to put 5 elite lion cavalry behind to guard the home.

Chapter 335: Bed Crossbow

Because of this matter, Yan Hao was heartbroken, and hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

At this time, he finally understood the importance of the cavalry and archer troops, and also understood why the Mongols were able to cross the Eurasian continent without rivals.Of course, Mongolian cavalry archers are not the decisive factor for the success of the Mongolian Empire. The grassland people also have powerful melee cavalry units, but the historical value of cavalry archers in a specific period cannot be ignored!

In fact, cavalry archers are a unit with obvious advantages and disadvantages.Its advantage is that it combines the functions of cavalry and archers, and has the two strategic commanding heights of mobility and range.The disadvantage is that although cavalry archers can also shoot arrows, their power, accuracy and range are far, far worse than those of starting archers.

In actual combat, it is impossible to win the war with cavalry and archers alone. No matter how strong the cavalry and archers are, they will have to stop when they see groups of cavalry charging collectively. If you want to fight guerrilla warfare, the archers will stand in place and wait for you. , was shot into a hedgehog as soon as he got close.

Therefore, the real value of cavalry archers lies in their strategic significance, one is to make a fuss, and the other is to cooperate with other arms.The harassment of cavalry archers can cause devastating damage to the enemy's logistics, and cavalry archers lure the enemy to attack to disrupt the formation and then dispatch heavy cavalry to charge and kill is a common tactic used by the Mongol Empire army.

To sum up, if both sides have cavalry archers, then their strategic value will be greatly reduced, almost reduced to tasteless. If one side has cavalry archers and the other does not, then it will fall into passive strategically.Today's Great Wei is obviously in the latter situation.

"Generals, you have to think of a way. I really don't want to waste the elite lion riders on the logistics line!" In the big tent, Yan Hao asked everyone for their opinions.

Several generals look at me and I look at you, but they can't offer any constructive suggestions for the time being.

At this moment Li Jing twitched his lips, hesitant to speak.

Yan Hao said: "What magic method does General Li Jing have?"

Li Jing came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea, but it's not a magic method."

Yan Hao said: "Let's talk and listen."

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, the method proposed by the Grand Duke to use crossbowmen to counter cavalry and shooting is very reasonable. The main problem is that our small number of bow and arrow troops are not powerful enough, and there is no advantage in range. Then can we use more powerful weapons?" What about long-range troops instead of ordinary archers?"

Yan Hao sighed: "Our Great Wei now has elite cavalry and infantry, but the archer army does not seem to have made much progress. General Li said that it is not easy to achieve."

But Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, what I think of is - can you consider using the agency?"

"Organ?" After hearing Li Jing's words, Yan Hao's eyes lit up.

Li Jing continued: "When I was in the capital, I watched the craftsmen of the military supervisor make a kind of powerful holding bow and arrow. It took several people to operate and launch it. One arrow can shoot through more than a dozen people. But This kind of equipment is generally used to defend the city. What I think is, if this kind of equipment can be equipped in the grain transportation team, wouldn't it save troops and have a defensive effect?"

"Wonderful!" Yan Hao exclaimed, "Pharmacist, you are really resourceful, both civil and military!"

What Li Jing was talking about was the bed crossbow in ancient China!Before the appearance of artillery, this kind of thing was equivalent to a powerful small artillery!During the Northern Song Dynasty, China's bed crossbow made the foreign races suffer a lot. It was a sharp weapon for the Central Plains Dynasty, which lacked excellent cavalry, to compete with the northern foreign races!

When Yan Hao was thinking about dealing with the grassland nation before, he had always focused on forming cavalry, which was tantamount to making up for the shortcomings of the Chinese nation's military, but he didn't consider giving full play to his own strengths!

In this world, although the Wei Dynasty has not yet developed the bed crossbow technology, the structure and principle of the defensive weapons mentioned by Li Jing are already very similar to the bed crossbow.As long as you provide some basic ideas to the craftsmen, add wheels to the current giant crossbow, and modify it a little, you should be able to make a bed crossbow!

Chapter 336

After receiving Yan Hao's instruction to make bed crossbows, the military department did not dare to neglect, and immediately summoned the best craftsmen in the whole capital to develop bed crossbows.

But this is easy to say, but not easy to do. If you want to convert the giant crossbow originally fixed on the city wall into a movable ballista, you need to reduce some weight to ensure flexibility.At the same time, in order to facilitate the operation in actual combat, it is necessary to add a lot of designs to ensure that the firing speed of the giant crossbow is accelerated, and the original power is maintained or even enhanced.

Most importantly, Yan Hao only gave the army three days to develop the giant crossbow due to the tight frontline battle.Under the pressure of time, it was even more difficult for craftsmen to develop their original level, and the research and development work fell into a stalemate for a while.

Su Hong, who was in charge of supervising this matter, ran around anxiously. Although he did not come to the front line in person, he knew deeply that the emperor would not have issued such an order if it was not extremely urgent!Completing this task one day earlier may give the army ahead a chance of winning!

Capital, Military Weapons Supervisor.

Su Hong once again asked the craftsmen to speed up the progress of work, but he had no choice but to see the craftsmen looking around blankly with wide-eyed and small-eyed expressions.What else can I do?People can't make it, even if you put a knife on their neck, it's useless!

At this time, one of his subordinates hurried in and told Su Hong: "General, there is a person outside the door who claims to be able to make a bed crossbow."

"What!" Su Hong's eyes widened, "Then what are you still doing in a daze, invite this expert in!"

The soldier bit his lip and said, "General, this man... looks like a liar, you'd better come and see for yourself."

When Su Hong came to the door and took a look, he realized why the soldiers suspected that this man was a liar.

The person in front of him who claimed to be able to make a bed crossbow was of medium build, his clothes were ragged, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, and strange mucus seemed to be attached to it, his face was dark, and only his eyes were clean.No matter how you look at him, he looks like a beggar, and he has nothing to do with a talented craftsman!

"Can you really make the bed crossbow requested by the emperor?" Su Hong asked.

The beggar smiled and didn't answer, just nodded.
