Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 65 Five Barracks

Jiannu's big bow is much longer and heavier than the Mongolian horn bow.

The length of Jiannu's big bow can even reach 1.8 meters, the pulling force exceeds 100 catties, and the length of the heavy arrow used exceeds 1 meter, which is enough to shoot through a straight armor within [-] steps.

Not to mention chain mail, cotton and cloth face armor.

Jiannu's concept of using bows and arrows is also different from that of other barbarians. They almost never use the tactic of long-distance projectiles. They basically shoot at close range and accurately, so they only carry heavy arrows.

However, with such a long and heavy bow and arrow, it is really impossible to control it if you are not tall enough.

The Jurchens originated between the White Mountains and the Black Mountains, and they were taller than the Mongols, so they were able to control such a big bow and heavy arrow, especially for elders like Oboi and Yabran.

As soon as Oboi entered the field, the Eight Banners soldiers with yellow flags all cheered.

"Batulu! Batulu! Batulu!" The cheers were about to burst people's eardrums.

Time entered the seventeenth century, and various firearms gradually replaced cold weapons as the mainstream of the battlefield, and personal bravery had little effect on the outcome of a war.

Jiannu has also been equipped with a large number of firearms,

But still retains the worship of the warrior.

Obai raised his big bow as a signal, and the cheers stopped abruptly.

Aobai is not only Batulu, but also Ba Ya La Tiao Zhang Jing with a yellow flag, the commander of the guard.

After a while, Yabran also rode his own war horse into the paddock. Jiannu went up to the banner owner Baylor and down to the banner Ding. The weapons, equipment and armor were all prepared by himself.

This is actually a model with the Fubing in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

This model can stimulate the warlike factor of a nation to the greatest extent and become martial.

This is based on the simplest truth, the braver a warrior is, the greater the chance of gaining military exploits, the more rewards he will get, the more women he can marry, and the better life he will have.

Conversely, the more cowardly a warrior is, the harder it is to obtain military exploits and rewards.

Then not only will he be despised by his neighbors, but he will also die because he cannot marry a daughter-in-law.

Because of the government military system, the prosperous Tang Dynasty created the most powerful dynasty in the two thousand years of Chinese history, and the Eight Banners soldiers ruled the Central Plains with a population of less than [-].

But even the best models have flaws.

Problems arise when the good is not enough to make up for the bad.

The Fubing system was defeated by the land equalization system, and the Eight Banners soldiers who built slaves were defeated by the staking.

Closer to home, after Yabran entered the field, Oboi said, "Move the target fifty paces away, is there any problem?"

"Fifty steps?" There was an exclamation all around, which was nearly twice as far as the usual training distance.

The humanoid archery targets used by Jiannu in daily training are generally at [-] paces. The assessment for Qi Ding's promotion to infantry armor is to shoot a humanoid archery target at a distance of [-] paces while riding a horse. Six out of ten rounds is considered a pass.

Now that Aobai has increased the target distance to fifty steps, the difficulty will increase dramatically.

"No problem." Yabran was even more excited, eager to try.

Ao Bai stopped talking nonsense, first rode his horse and galloped to the opposite side of the paddock, and then turned back.

At this time, the vests with the yellow flags had already moved the ten human-shaped arrow targets fifty paces away.

When the horse accelerated to almost a sprinting speed, it also reached the first archery target. Oboi's body was slightly tilted to the right, and the bow and arrow swished, and an arrow hit the center of the human-shaped archery target.

Seeing this, the surrounding Eight Banners cheered loudly: "Batulu!"

Not a moment later, Oboi shot nine more arrows while galloping, and the arrows hit the target.

The last heavy arrow, Oboi obviously used all his strength, and directly shot through the target.

"Balutu! Batulu! Batulu!" The Eight Banners soldiers with yellow flags were about to go crazy.

Aobai rode his horse forward for fifty paces before slowly pulling back, but his face didn't turn red and he couldn't breathe.

"Yablan, it's your turn." Aobai said expressionlessly, "Don't let everyone down."

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Without the slightest timidity, Yabran rode his horse to the opposite side of the paddock.

Urging the horse to start, jogging first, then galloping, and finally sprinting, Kuai Yabran also swished an arrow at the first human-shaped archery target, and hit his chest steadily.

Yabran also hit the next eight arrows steadily.

Just when everyone thought that Yabran's tenth arrow would surely hit, Yabran suddenly leaned back and made an unexpected movement.

Yabran even pulled the big bow away from behind his back.

"Wow!" There was an exclamation in the field.

Obai also shrank his pupils slightly, this guy!

This bow is a big Jurchen bow, and it takes a lot of effort to draw it normally.

This guy Yabran actually put his back on his back and pulled him away with his backhand, which required a lot of physical strength.

"Whoosh!" Amidst the exclamation, Yabran's tenth heavy arrow also hit the target steadily, and the arrow almost shot through the target, leaving only the feathers at the end of the arrow shaking slightly in the wind. .

"Good!" Bai Yintu and other nobles couldn't help cheering loudly.

Aobai also nodded slightly. In terms of riding and shooting alone, Yabran seems to have surpassed him, but if he wants to be the number one warrior in Manchuria, just knowing how to ride and shoot is not enough.

"Knife!" Oboi stretched out his hand and shouted in a low voice.

The coating next to him immediately offered a sharp saber.

Ao Bai immediately whipped Bao Yi's face, and cursed: "Idiot, blunt knife."

Bao Yi covered his face and let out a scream, and quickly handed the other saber that hadn't opened to Ao Bai.

A while later, Yabran came back to the paddling and saw Oboi holding an unsharp saber in his hand, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked, "How do you use a blunt knife?"

Aobai said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, come on."

"My lord, be careful!" Yabran took a lunge, and then slashed diagonally.

Just now they competed in riding and archery, but this time they competed in infantry combat, which is also the Jurchen's main combat method.

Yabran used the most simple and unpretentious slash style. For soldiers on the battlefield, they don't pay attention to moves at all, but only in reaction speed, strength and combat experience.

Those who can be selected into the White Armored Army are all warriors who are one in a thousand.

These warriors are top-notch in terms of reaction speed and strength, even if there is a gap, it will not be too big.

Yabran's reaction speed and strength are not inferior to that of Oboi, but his combat experience is far worse than that of Oboi. After all, Oboi is ten years older than Yabran and has more than ten years of experience. !

So as soon as Yabran's body moved, Oboi had already predicted his next move.

Then a strange scene appeared, Oboi only turned sideways and then raised the knife, the blunt knife that had not been sharpened was already placed on Yabran's neck, and during the whole fight, it looked as if Oboi hadn't moved at all. Yabran himself bumped into Oboi's blade with a stride, and the picture froze instantly.

Yabran froze in place for a moment.

If this was a real battlefield, Yabran would already be decapitated by now.

Bo Zhou's throat guard couldn't block the Saber at all!

Yabran's face instantly turned red, and he stared at Ao Bai in disbelief. Is there really such a big gap between the two?He really couldn't even take Oboi's knife?

Aobai withdrew his knife and stepped back, saying: "Yablan, you have lost."

"Yes, I lost." Yabran's head drooped.

"Boy, don't be discouraged, you are already good at your age."

Aobai patted Yabran's shoulder and said, "Come under my tent."

"Your Excellency, do you mean that I can still join the Bala Lathong?"

"Yes, you are now a Bayala." Obai said happily.

Hearing this, the Eight Banners soldiers around cheered: "Yablan, Yablan..."

Yabran's face flushed instantly, and he finally became the Bayala of his dreams.

……

in Xuzhou.

Kim Hyun is training with three thousand family members.

Oh no, after Hu Xinshui took away more than [-] riders, there were only [-] riders left.

The two thousand, seven hundred or so Ding and one thousand Yi Ding were all turned into cavalry by Chongzhen. In order to equip these more than [-] people with horses, Chongzhen even spared Huang Degong's own mount.

Huang Degong went north this time, on foot with officers and soldiers.

On the school field, Jin Xuan rode his horse and galloped like flying, and fired ten arrows in a row in a very short time.

Hearing a tuk-tuk sound, all ten heavy arrows hit the human-shaped archery target fifty paces away, and the more than two thousand riders lined up on one side applauded loudly.

I really didn't see it.

This civil servant is actually a master of riding and shooting.

Riding his horse back to the front of the family, Jin Xuan casually threw the riding bow to the followers.

"It's not only the barbarians who can ride and shoot, we Chinese can do the same, and it's even better!"

"Huaxia people are the best at learning. As long as we want to do it, we will do it better than any other race!"

Jin Xuan's voice sounded a little deep, but it was extremely penetrating. At least the servants in the front row could hear it clearly, while the servants in the back could only listen to the narration of the companions in front.

"But what I want to tell you today is, "

"Horse shooting is outdated, now it's the world of firearms."

"Qi Shaobao once said that the key to using soldiers lies in the eight characters."

"Sufficient food and salary, guns and cannons, the four words of guns and cannons are firearms!"

"So our Fifth Army Battalion not only needs to practice riding and archery, horse fighting, foot fighting, but also practice firearms!"

The capital has fallen, and the three major camps of the capital camp have also been wiped out, but Chongzhen decided to rebuild the three new camps.

The more than 2700 Ding under Jin Xuan's command are the seeds carefully selected by Chongzhen for the Fifth Army Battalion, and the one thousand Yi Ding are the seeds selected by Chongzhen for the Three Thousand Battalion.

Only the Shenji Battalion has not been settled yet.

"No matter how brave a person is, he is still a body of flesh and blood. A body of flesh and blood will never be able to stop the shooting of guns and guns. No matter how powerful your martial arts are, even a tiger crouching cannon will still be beaten to pieces."

"No matter how hard you ride and shoot, the lethality is not as good as the bird gun."

Speaking of this meal, Jin Xuan signaled his subordinates to bring a Lumi gun.

Load the gunpowder, reload the bullet, light the matchlock, and shoot at the target fifty paces away.

Then let the subordinates take the archery target and show it to the servants on horseback. There is a big hole with a diameter of an inch in the middle of the target, which is indeed much more lethal than the arrow.
